Considerable money was pat in cir
culation in wilmington today and yes

of the largest corporations. The p,

hundred men were on the payroll, and
the amount paid out for the two weeks

MORE HELP FOR
THOSE in NEED

The Board Of Education has given per-
mission TO children attending the public
schools of the city to contribute money
to the Associated Charities for the relief
OF the needy. The matter was brought
up before the board last night by Presi-
dent Shortlidge, who said the request had
been made by the members Of the Asso-
ciated Charities. and it was at his wish
that the motion was made and the desired
permission granted.
To further aid the cause Of helping the
needy the Associated Charities sent a
communication to the Board of Water
Commissioners yesterday afternoon re-
questing that work on improvements In
that department be started at once so
that as many men as possible who are
out of employment can be put to work
The members Of the board were un-
animously in accord with the sentiment
Of the communication. They accepted it
and authorized the secretary 20 notify
the Associated Charities that the water
board viii put on all the men needed in
the various operations just as soon as
the weather moderates.

CANNOT GIVE WORK
TO THE UNEMPLOYED

The resolution adopted by City
Council urging the Street and Sewer
directors, the Water Commissioners and
the Park Board to undertake immed-
late improvements In their departments
TO give work TO unemployed was char
acterized by a director as "emanating
from Farnhurst" at the meeting of the
Street and Sewer directors this morn
ing. The assertion was merely a
strong way Of intimating that the sug-
gestion was impractical in view of
the funds now within the use of the
directors, and while the streets were
frosted.
a resolution expressing sympathy
for the unemployed and setting forth
the difficulties that prevented the
taking up OF the suggestion was passed
and will be presented TO Council. The
resolution briefly stated also that but
$4,000 out Of its general fund was
available to be used between today and
August /, while it was estimated that
minimum Of 100000 would be needed
TO carry on the boards work of caring
for and cleaning the streets and sewers
and lighting the streets during that
time. The suggestion was regarded as
impossible and impracticable because
of the present frost as wei as Of lack
of funds, although it was agreed that
If City Council would grant an ex-
traordinary appropriation for clearing
and sweeping the streets, "the board
would willingly clean and sweep every
foot of the strets of the city" Presi-
dent Melvin saw no necessity Of even
sweeping the streets of snow in view
Of the warm weather. He was re-
minded, however. that the suggestion
was a Charitable and not a practical
idea

RETTEW CASE MAY
TAKE ALONG TIME

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Feb. 1.-THE Rettew
bondsmens case promises to be one Of
the most interesting of recent chancery
causes. The bondsmen, through Robert II.
Richards-the action being virtually
against New Castle county and enioining
the sheriff from collecting from the bonds
men-make two claims that will involve
new law and may tie up action for a term
of years.
They declare, first, that Rettew came
into the Legislature long after his term
as receiver Of the taxes of New Castle
county had expired, and was then and
there authorized by special act Of the
Legislature of 1905, TO proceed again to
collect all arrear taxes This statute,
they claim. practically relieved the sure
ties. who did not re-agree under the new
statute.
The second contention is that the
amount OF the defalcation as set out S3S, -
0O0 is largely in access of their liability
Upon this contention and without going
into the merits of the first complaint:
Chancellor Nicholson issued a temporary
Injunction and the sheriff is stopped from
collecting the county's loss from Rettew s
bondsmen pending further proceedings
in Chancery in which the entire matter
will be gone into fully.
