Secretary Taft has cen. called to ap
pear before the Senate Committee on
Interoceanic canals to tell what he knows
about canal matters. II is said that his
testimony. which will extend over an
examination of several days, will be the
last taken by the Committee and an i'm
patient public is hoping that the question
of the type of the canal to be adopted
will then be decided upon. An ordinary
Library would not hold the amount of
printed testimony that has been taken on
this subject, but SO far as newspaper
man can see there is no more chance for
a decision than there was three weeks
ago. or three months ago, tor that matter.
senators Platt, Kittredge. Morgan, Tai
iaferro, and German are for the sea level
plan. just as they we're when the Com
mittee began collecting evidence. and
Senators Millard, Hopkins, KIox. Car
mack, and Summons have never wavered
from the conviction that the lock type
was the one to be adopted Secretary
Taft will of course be heard with interest,
but it is probable that each side will 6nd
in his testimony confirmation of its views
nn the subject. Mr.. Taft is not an en-.
giueer and he can only speak from the
conclusions he had drawn from Chief En-
sineer Stevens and other engineers who
have made study of the canal project.
There is strong pressure being brought to
bear on the committee to force report
N the type of canal. If this could be
0rought about it would be victory in a
Nav for the lock type advocates as the
President would then push that PROPOSE
lion The House stands firmly by the
'ock canal and it is clear that the HOUSE
uld not he persuaded to endorse Sem
e proposal for sea level type The
Congressional elections are approaching
md the House is aware that the people Of
ae couHtry would not he slow to show
heir disapproval when the memhers of
he lower House, went before them with

increased houd issue which would have To

Out CT the $40, 900 borrowed by City
Council to meet its obligations expir-
ing before the end of the current fiscal
year, according to a careful estimate,
there will be a balance of between
81, 600 and s., ZOO, which will make the
total amount Of the temporary loan
between S67, 600 and s6S, 600.
Seventy thousand dollars is a large
sum of money to borrow under such
circumstances, and it would seem
rather odd that more money should be
borrowed than was actually needed,
but it was intimated, at about the
time the last S35, 600 was borrowed,
that a large part of this sum might
remain as a balance at the end of the
year, those expressing this belief being
of the opinion that revenue would
come in from other sources in sufficient
amounts to materially cut down the
size of the loan, and, although a great
deal of money has been received
through the tax Office, it looks now
as if the condition given above would
exist at the end of the year.
As a result of advice from City So
licitor Townsend, relative to tax liti-
cation, the city has received several
thousand dollars, taking in over s., 900
in one day from the Wilmington City
Electric Co. and the Delmarvia Tele-
phone Co., which money had been
withheld pending an adjustment of the
! assessment, on the ground that it was
higher than the companies had under
stood it was to be. Had it not been
for the settlement of these suits this
money would not have been forthcom-
ing at this time, and, probably, iudg-
ing from the city solicitors opinion,
not at all, as the indications were that
the city would lose the suits.
Determined efforts have been made
in other ways to get in back taxes and
a large amount of money has been re-
ceived in this way, which will enable
Council to get through, most likely,
without negotiating another loan.
The outlook for next year, however,
is not encouraging. Chairman White
IF the finance committee, although as
/ senting TO a tax rate of 81. so on the
/ slOO. admits that he expects a deficit
/ even iarger than the one this year.

colored, but he was not elected, as the
white Republicans voted for white
man.
This particular instance, according
to the reporters informant, appears to
have angered some of the colored peo-
pie, who have hocked around Postles
more strongly than before, and it is
said that he has built up a consider
able following.
1t is an open secret that Councilman
Postles is at the head Of a movement
to organize the negro voters of the
State and have them act together at
the election, the idea being to vote
only for people who are pledged to
work for their interests after the cleo
tion, and it looks now as if the white
Republicans would have to reckon
WITH this element in making their cal
culations.
1t has also been learned that Postles
has the sympathy of many of the Union
Republicans in the city, regardless of
color, he being affiliated with their
faction Of the Republican party, and
it is understood that they expect to
stand by him when it comes to an
issue.
Consequently, Councilman Postles is
| likely to be a factor in the campaign
this year, regardless of the Senatorial
election.

Philadelphia; Fairhill Congregation,
Philadelphia North Avenue, Balti-
more; Oxford, Pa, congregation,

Wilmington congregation, and had
found them correct. The financial
agent presented an encouraging report
of the benevolent funds for the last
few months and the report was ac-
cepted Rev. p. b. Logan, who had
been appointed to visit sick ministers,
reported that he had visited Rev. h.

and OF the work done there. The re-
port was accepted. The superinten-
dent of missions, Rev. G.. Alvin Orr,
reported the state of the missions,
which are fairly prosperous. Rev. T.
B. Turnbull, chairman of the commit
tee for the erection of monument To
Rev. John Cutherson of Octorara,
who was pastor Of that church in the
middle of the last century, made a
report. A stone was erected to his
memory, but it has practically crum-
bled away. The matter was referred
TO Rev. +. W. Mckee, present pastor OF
the church. Some discussion was oc-
casioned over the expenses Of delegates

ter was laid over until the next meet.

Deputy Fish and Game Warden
George Swezey, of I%rvington, is deter
mined to protect the quail and part
ridge in his territory until the lawful
season opens. Last Thursday he ar
rested a man who vas carrying a gun
and had in his possession a song birt
which had been shot. The accused
who gave the name of John Doe, was
fined $40 and costs by Justice of the
Peace A. j. States, of %Irvington
Swezey also arrested A. w. Ahlgran.
of Garwood, a week ago for using ar.

than three hooks attached to it. He
will be tried before Judge Tuitse at
the Westfeld police court.

nearly all the fish caught was on the
lower hook. Frederick Aber fishe6
there and caught eighteen, and all OF
them were school fish. James Keat-
ing, of Jersey City, caught the larg-
est. 1t weighed three pounds.
One of the two large pound nets
has been removed from the mouth of
the Shrewsbury river. 1t was off the
Hilton shore and did not pay, as the
fishermen fro mthe Highlands helped
themselves too much from the pocket
when the fish were trapped.
Since the law closing the saloons
on Sunday has been in effect, the fish
rme have increased. Four hundred
fishermen left Newark for the fishing
banks Sunday morning. Not a boat
could be hired anywhere along the
shore after 10 O'Clock and the bait
dealers sold out their stock Saturday.
Small ice boxes in the boats are very
fashionable nowadays.
If the engineers on the bridges
that cross the streams frequented by
motorboats would place figures on
the center pier, showing the distance
from the water to the bridge, they
would not have to turn the bridges
so often. Owners of small boats Of
ten stop and wait for the bridge to
turn, thinking they cannot pass un-
der when they really have a foot to
spare.
