FRIENDS DOUBT
POLICE THEORY
EXPRESS BELIEF SALTER WAS
MURDERED
OLD MAN FOUND DYING FEARED
ENEMIES WRATH
Investigation Into Causes Leading to
Death of Rich William salter
VIII Be Made by
Acquaintances

notwithstanding that detectives cling
to the belief that William Salter "a
years old, of 61S1a South Spring street,
who was found in a dying condition at
Center place and Sixth street late Sat-
urday night, died as the result of be
Ing stepped on by a horse, friends and
relatives OF the dead man declare ne
was murdered for valuable papers and
will make a thorough investigation.
They assert that il is almost impos-
sible to drive a horse over a body, even
on the darkest night. Horses and mules
have a highly developed sense Of
smell, and will not walk on or pass
over a body, whether dead or alive.
The most staid old draught horse will
shy at a body, and if ordinarily slow
and gentle will become wild and fran
tic if an attempt is made to compel
him to pass one.
Salter was man who seldom drank
to excess unless he was in the privacy
of his room. He never dared to VEN
ture alone on the streets for fear of
enemies whose i'll will he incurred in
a law suit a number of years ago.
He possessed quite fortune in
stocks, bonds and cash and never car
ried less than $25 on his person Some
times the amount of money he carried
was nearer 500.
Saturday night Salter was seen in
his room talking eXcitedly to a stran-
ger A pile of papers was on the table
and the old man seemed nervous and
frightened. He spoke in a loud tone
and his general bearing was that of
person fearful of impending danger.
He left his room before 9 o'clock
that night in company with this
stranger and returned with the same
man at 1880 o'clock Nothing more
was seen of him until he was disCov'
cred unconscious in the alley near
Sixth street
Mrs. Frank Smith, proprietor of the
rOoming house, and her husband. saw
the aged man and the stranger dis
cussing the papers and drinking from
quart bottle of whisky. The old man
poured a tumbler full of whisky and
drained the glass while the stranger
drank but a small amount from a
smaller glass.
Salter was psrson who did not
form new aCquaintances readily. He
had a friend-an old man, blind in one
eye, whom he frequently entertained
and whom he always accompanied to
the street car. This friend wore a long
beard. Mrs. Smith is positive that the
man with whom Salter was discussing
the papers wore gray mustache but
otherwise was clean shaven.
Detective Finds CIew
A detective, detailed on the case fol-
lowing the tardy report from the cOro-
ner's office that Salter had sustained
fractures of fourteen ribs, found sam
uel White, driver of a swill wagon,
who stated that he drove into the alley
with his team and that the animals
mad become frightened and backed
away

FIRST PORT PROBLEM
PRESENTED TO BOARD
TO BE MADE TO WAR
DEPARTMENT
In Order to Continue Work Former
Channel Must Be Closed in
ContraVention to WASH
ngton Orders

The board of public works got its
first taste of the increased work and
responsibility that comes to the depart
ment of public works by reason Of con-
soldation, when e. P. opp, a member
of the Wilmington board of trustees,
appeared before that body yesterday
with harbor plan.
Mr. Opp has taken deep interest in
inner harbor matters and the Whining
ton board of trustees has left every
thing connected with the water front in
his hands. He gave the board of pub
lie works much valuable information
in connection with the harbor, but his
mission was of more Importance than
merely imparting information.
Within short time the dredging linn
it will be reached at the inner harbor
at Wilmington unless some place is
found on which to run the dredgings
or the dredgings are put on private
land. When work on the channel which
is being dredged in the inner harbor
was begun the war department de-
creed that the former channel should
not be closed until one of equal ca
pacity had been made.
The channel of equal capacity is be-
ing made but in order to complete it
it will be necessary to close up the for
mer channel to give a place on which
to run the dredgings. Mr.. Opp wanted
the board of public works to appeal to
the war department for the privilege of
closing the former channel.
To Look Over Ground
A committee composed of a member
of the board of public works, City At
torney Hewitt, Mr.. opp and the city
engineer will go to Wilmington today
to look over the ground and get the
necessary information on which to
frame an appeal to the war depart
ment.
Mayor Alexander has asked Hobart
Anderson lord mayor of Belfast, Ire
land, for any information concerning
the harbor at Belfast This request
was in answer to a letter written to
the mayor by Lord Mayor Anderson,
received yesterday. In his letter Mr..
Anderson stold Mayor Alexander that
Rev. Charles Merrill, a Los Angeles
minister, had called on him recently
and suggested he write something to
the mayor of Los Angeles concerning
the Belfast harbor or harbour" as it
is known in Belfast, according to the
lord mayors letter. His letter was
short and breezy and contained some
general information on harbor matters,
but Mayor Alexander is searching for
exhaustive reports and suggests he send
a copy of the report of the Belfast
harbor commission, or whatever body
may be in control of the water front
in the Irish city
