Suffering from many cut about his
body and the loss of much blood, Alex
ander Turner, colored. is in a serious
condition at the Delaware Hospital.
His alleged assailant was ethel Webb,
colored girl just out of her teens,
and two meat knives were the weapons
with which she is alleged to have done
the cutting.
The trouble occurred about o'clock
this morning at No. S13 Locust street,
and il is said was started by Turner
ordering the young woman out Of the
house. She told the police that he
struck her knocking her down, and
she admitted cutting him with a knife,
but which one of the two found by
the police she could not say. Both
were covered with blood stains.
Turner. with blood squirting from his
many cuts. was taken TO the drug store
Of Samuel Chadwick, at Seventh and

taken, but last night members Of theI

ing favorable action ON the license cause.
The Maohinists Union delegates inform-
ed the central body by communication.
that their organization had instructed
them 20 bring up similar resolutions as
those offered by the three unions named.
The delegates from the latter organlza-
tons made the contention that the Central

them as union men, as their positions
and very livelihood were at stake, and
that II they could not apply to the
central body for support where else could
they go for help. They quoted from the
principles contained I'm the laws govern

OF their cause as follows:

Not only did the Department Of

lengers to be within thirty feet OF the

This determination will cause the
army OF women temperance workers
20 stand thirty feet from the entrance
TO the various polling places on eIec-
tion day. The Women's Federation IS
preparing for a personal appeal to
voters approaching the polls on Mo-
vember 8. but the women must not

asked that the committee be permitted
TO name challengers for election day
He was informed that there never had
been any intention TO deprive the

committee Of challengers, as they are
provided by law. The license commit
tee has not requested challengers nor
consulted the department about NAM
ing them. Now each committee viii
select one challenger for each polling
