TALKS OF
DIRECTOR SPARKS

Ever since Mayor Wilson appointed SEN
ator George W. Sparks to be a member
of the Street and Sewer Commission there
have been reports that the appointment
was due TO corporation influence. A com
munlcation was received by The Evening
Journal to-day from prominent Rcpubli-
can charging that Pennsylvania railroad
influences had brought about the appoint
mcnt of Mr.. Sparks.
This was Indignantly denied by Mayor
Wilson when the matter was brought to
his attention at noon by a reporter. Tho
Mayor said
''rhe reports you speak of that the ap-
pointmcnt OF Mr. Sparks 90 the Street and
Sewer Department was influenced by pub
lie service corporations are absurd and
absolutely untrue. 1 have no hesitancy in
saying that no public service corporation
or agent of any such corporation spoke to
me in behalf Of the appointment Of Mr.
Sparks to the office.
IL assume fun responsibility for the
which was made because
of the fitness OF Mr.. Sparks for the POSI-
ton. as his efficiency and competency
cannot be questioned.
Il wish to say. too. that In making this
appointment I had no idea or motive for
advancing amy personal interest or politi
cal aspiration but Il was purely for what
/ deemed the best interests OF the city Of
Wilmington in securing so capable an Of
ncial."

FIX SUMMER
COAL PRICES
Dealers Assert That the Past
Year Has Been Disastrous
To Them
ASSOCIATION NAMED
SCHEDULE LAST NIGHT

The Wilmington Coal Association met
in the Board of Trade sooms last night
to consider the summer price schedule.
The price was finally fixed at s6.25
ton for prepared sizes and s4.75 a ton
for pea coal.
This is the cash price and coal VIII
be billed at this time at 1915 for pre-
pared sizes and S5.25 for pea COAL with
fifty cents discount if paid within ten
days
a uniform charge OF twenty-five cents
win be made for carrying IN coal into
places not accessible to chute wagons.
On these prices there wiz be an ad-
vance Of twenty-five cents on June /
and another advance Of twenty-five
cents on August ], thus covering the
advance Of ten cents a month made
by the coal companies, and beginning
May and ending September l..
1t is also the announced intention OF
the dealers to make a further advance
before the severe weather sets in, pro-
badly October /. of twenty-five cents a
ton, thereby making the winter price
81 a ton.
The dealers assert that with the
prices named they are doing business
On the smallest possible margin and
any less price means loss 70 them and
final ruin.
The past year the dealers claim,
has been a disastrous one. Rivalry
and cutting among some Of the dealers
caused "a low price to be made last
spring which in some instances, despite
the summer advance Of ten cents a
month. was carried over until yester-
day.
AN the members Of the Association
this year will insist on the fifty cent
cash discount which was in force be-
fore the disruption of the former ex-
chaage and to some extent at least fell
into disuse during the confusion Of
the past year.
The prices fixed for Wilmington are
the same as those scheduled in Phila-
delrhia, and the dealers i'm that city
have the advantage Of freight rates
that are Is cents less ton than to
