TREES INTERFERE
WITH FIRE ALARM

Albert Vaughn, city lineman, appear
ed before the Street and Sewer Direc-
tors at their meeting this morning and
asked that that body take some steps
towards having trees in various parts
of the city trimmed, as their branches
seriously interfered with the operations
of the Gamewell fire alarm system, and
not infrequently put it out Of service.
Mr.. Vaughn stated that in a number
of instances the insulation had been
worn Off the wires by the branches rub
bling against them, and that in wet
weather the lincmen's work became
particularly dangerous on this account.
He presented list containing the To-
cation of nearly 100 trees which should
be trimmed. a number of them being
located in the fashionable residential
section Of the city.
The matter will be taken up with the
police committee of Council and that
body asked to cooperate with the de-
partment in carrying it out. The work
will require about five weeks to COM
plete, and if done will probably be
under the supervision of City Forester
SWrks.

SILVER SERVICE
FOR WARSHIP

Now that it has been determined that

ware an agitation has been started to
give the warship nne SILVER service IS
a gift Of appreciative citizens Of the Da-
mond State.
The Water Witch Fire Company is the
first to take up this suggestion by voting
SIS as a contribution to the fund with
which a testimonial is to be bought for
the battleship. The Water Witch Com
pany held a meeting last night and took
this action. It is expected th1t many
other organizations win take similar ae-
tion in the near future. r.
II has been customary for cities and
States to give silver service or some
other suitable gift TO warships named for
them. It viii be recalled that Wilmington
gave silver service to the cruiser VIII
mington, ana the State canot be expected
to fan behind in thus honoring the pre-

IN PEDDLERS' LAW

The case Of John II. Neitz, an en-
ploye of Gately and fitzgerald, an in-
stallment house, charged in City Court
to-day with peidling without a license,
was continued for a week in order that
Assistant City Solicitor Rice could LOOK
up the law in the case.
Lewis NJ Elbertson. secretary and
treasurer of the company, produced a
license showing that his firm had
taken out a horse and wagon license
TO peddle for the past FIVE years, and
he produced this years license which
win not expire until July Il.
When Neitz was arrested by officer
Hillary Wallace. the latter saw three
men working from the wagon Mr..
Rice made the contention that only
one man was allowed ID sell from tho
wagon. Judge Cochran, however,
thought otherwise. and said that four
dozen men could sell from the wagon
if they so desired. and he did not
think that the firm should be male
to take out a half dozen licenses. on
application of Mr.. Rice the case was
continued. The defendant was rqD-
resented by Baldwin Springer.
