Charleston. formerly of Morgan
town, for the appointment as chief
mine inspector In this State, is re-
ceiving wide and influential sup

highly recommended for the place
by Chief Paul himself. Mr.. Ross
has for some months past been the
chiefs assistant. doing the work oil
the position faithfully and well, and
as he has the support of many lead
ing Republicans OF the State he
stands a very fine show of receiving

sought by ohe party's candidates, and
in the late campaign he rendered the
most excellent service.

"Our unwillngness to pay our judge,

WAGES MAY COME DOWN

Although there has been no recent
lay off among the employees of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in and about
this city to any great extent II is not
improbable that on or shortly after tie
first Of May a further reduction in the
working force of the road may be made.
II has been stated also that it was
not impossible that a reduction in
wages might also go into effect about
the same time but as yet nothing de b
finite has been decided upon along
that line by officials of the company.
1t was stated this morning, however,
by one of the local officials that un-
less business conditions improved by
then that some step in that direction
would probably be taken by the com .

have been laid off by the company
along its line East of Pittsburg will
have reached fully $4,000.

on Water Proposition

Not satisfied with secret sessions Of
the Mayors cabinets, the secret
meeting" fever of city officials is be-
coming contagious. Another private
meeting Of city officials was 10 have
been held yesterday afternoon to con-
slider the Delaware Water Company 8

how the railroad company's chief
boosters Of the water proposition fall
ed to get their plans right and the COM
ference was not held because the most
desired officials were not present 1t
will be recalled that the scheme is to
give the water company or railroad
company permission to lay water
pipes, in return for which the rail-
road company is to lease a plot o.
ground at Fourth and Bridge streets
to the city for a playground.
The railroad company has never
made such a proposition but city
official regarded as speaking for the
railroad company has.
The Street and Sewer Directors were
TO have conferred yesterday afternoon
with the members Of the Board Of
Water Commissions, some of the Park
Commissioners and DR.. Evan G..
Shortlidge, president of the Board Of
Education on the Delaware Water
Company proposition. Favorable action
toward the plan has come from the
Board of Education, the Board OF
Water Commissioners and the Park
Commission, and the Street and Sewer
Board is the last OF the city bodies
which will take It under considera-
tion, as that department has the fran
chise granting power.
The meeting was to have been pri-
vate one, but its privacy exceeded even
the expectations of its promoters
Through a misunderstanding it had
not been announced to the Street ard
Sewer directors and none of them ap-
peared. As a consequence, the meet
ing was called off, and another will be
arranged, although no date has been
set
Those present were: President Evan

LE- TURE BY A
PROMINENT SPEAKER
H. Roswell Bates, Of New York, to
Speak in Interest Of the Settle
nent Movement.

"Our Kinsfolx" is the subject of the
lecture which II. Roswell Bates Will
deliver at the New-Century Club on
Monday night. May 4th, under the
auspices of the Peoples Settlement As
sociation. Admission Is free.
Wilmington is fortunate to have an
opportunity to hear this noted speaker.
and his stay here will be short. as this
lecture comes in between his addresses
at Yale. University of Pennsylvana A
and Johns Hopkins University. Mr..
Bates fame is built not only on his
gifts as a speaker, but also on his
actual accomplishments. The Spring
Street Settlement in New York City is
one Of those activities which bespeak
him a pioneer and leader of the new
social forces. His activities give his
words double weight.
