PEELED to abate what under the law is

at Edge Moor may be closed. This was
the statement made in General Sessions
Court this morning by Herbert II.
Ward, counsel for the company, while
informing the court that the defendants
would make further answer in the
matter this afternoon.
The indictment was returned by the
Grand Jury yesterday. 1t charges tht

morning Mr.. Ward admitted that the
roadway was public property on which
the company had erected a foundation
wall to support its erecting shop, the
largest building on the company prop

cause the road being in the company 5
yard was used by no one except the

WHILE ROMPING TWO BOYS
FALL INTO POND And DROWN

Unmindful Of their danger while play
ing, Louis Booth and John Mcbride,
small boys. living at eKntmere. ran
into a pond along the Brandywine. near
the Bancroft mills yesterday afternoon,
and drowned. The many children who
were playmates Of the little fellows
stopped their games with one impulse
on hearing Of the sad tragedy, and
their laughter was gone. Little Louis
lived at No. So Rockford Road. and his
dead chum made his home at No. ss
almost opposite
The boys. both Of whom were five
years old. accompanied by lit
tie Fannie Mcbride. a sister Of
John, started out for a romp after
kindergarten. The lads playfully
strove for the possession of a hoop, and
raced down a hill at the bottom of
which, near the entrance to the yards
of the Bancroft mills, is a pound con-
tanning about three feet Of water. The
boys. unconscious Of their danger and
engrossed with their play, raced down
the hill and before they realized their
predicament both plunged into the
pond.
When little Fannie Mcbride reached
the edge Of the water, she looked
around for her companions but they
had disappeared. Dismayed by the.r
sudden disappearance the little girl be-
came frightened and ran for assist
ance. She told one man that the BOYS
were hiding under the water and he
at once took I'm the situation and ran
to the pond. Another man joined him
and they soon had thelittle fellows on
land, and though they worked with
them for long time, there was no
sign of life in either. Or. John Nalmei
and Dr. Joseph T. Wales did their best
to restore life in the bodies, but with-
out avail. m a half hour the physi-
clans announced that the little fellows
were dead. and It cast damper Of sor-

into FIRE DANGER
In THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Here

That fire escapes have been omitted
from the Wilmington public schools IN
the interest OF economy: that many Of
the structures are Of nimsy oonstruc-

the statement made by 70. H. Rice, Jr..
the well-known city architect, at the
meeting of the Board Of Trade last
night He, as we'll as other members
of the board. were OF the opinion that
the Wilmington public schools Of the
future should be so constructed that
a North Collinwood tragedy would be
impossible here

who, In referring TO the tragedy at

mington schools were equipped with
doors opening only ON the inside. which
fact o. said to have caused the fright

the subject followed. Mr. Rice taking
the principal part He said II had been
his privilege TO plan many Of the city
school buildings. all OF which. he was
satisfied, were equipped with doors
opening from the outside. lie said he
had provided for hie escapes on an
the buildings planned by him. but that
the Board OF Education had eliminated
the escapes from the plans in the in
terest OF economy Moreover" Mr.
Rice continued. "the Board has built
for $4,000 schools that should have cost
$4,000. They are necessarily himsy IN
their construction. Instead OF building
two schools this year az a cost Of $40 .0OC
I would suggest that the Board of Edu-
cation build one school costing that
amount" Mr.. Rice added that all the
