Cardinal LOGue Doesn't Like
TO See Women in Law

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-"Momen to-
day do not seem TO appreciate that the
greatest power IN the world is I'm

the future, the wardens OF the human
race. Has the being 10 whom has
been confded the great human mis-
sion, the time to waste in buying
dresses for lap dogs or wearing those
big. extravagant hats and those
strange. fashionable gowns"
IL was Cardinal Logue the primate
Of Ireland. who made this interesting
observation today on the tendencies
OF modern womanhood. The foremost
Catholic of Ireland is the guest here
Of Monsignor McCready.
Il don't like TO see women law

rough handling IN the law courts
That is why | do not care for women
IN politics u is not that the woman
Is UNIT for politics, Il is the politics
which is unfit for women. The great
est profession in the world for women
Is taking care Of a home and chill

Il have noticed" he said. "in the
conversations OF such Americans as
have met. an undue reverence for the
dollar. But there is the rush; the
frightful tension that tells on the
dollars. do not say that you care

BrandyWiBe Low, But I'M
proved Facilities Preclude
Famine

The dry spell that caused a fall
in the water supply about this time
last year is being repeated in a lesser
degree at present. Thanks to its su-
perior facilities this year, however.
the Water Department is not alarmed,
even in view Of long continuance Of
the dry spell
The Brandywine has fallen several
inches below its usual depth. At
Coatesville, which obtains its supply
from the Brandywine, it has been ne
cesary to shut down one pump ow-
ing to the low depth, and a water ia
mine is threatened there. With it's
emergency pumps and other means to
continue the supply of water even
under difficulties Wilmington need

MARKET STREET
ILLUMINATION
City Will Do That Much Mayor
Says; Merchants Will
Decorate
MISUNDERSTANDING
OVER THE ARRANGEMENTS

Members Of City Council at their
committee meetings tonight will ar
range for the illumination OF the city
hall and Market street in honor Of
the battleship, fremen's and aviation
celebration next week Among other
things arrangements will be made 20
festoon Market street with strings OF
electric lights. Council has asked for
bids of 26 strings of lights along Mar
ket street. The city hall also will be
bedecked with bunting and emblazon-
ed with light.
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing over the decorations along Mar
ket street. j. y. Rhoades Company,
an out-of-tOwn concern, has started in
TO do some decorating and the VIII
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company has given the Rhoades Com
pany permission TO use its poles and
wires for decorative purposes, under
the impression that City Council had
given the Rhoades Company the con-
tract for decorating. Manager Helm
die, of the railway end of the Traction
company yesterday served notice on
Ferris Giles. who is In charge Of deco
rative work for many Market street
merchants, that he cannot use the
poles or wires for that purpose. Mr.
Heindle set forth that he understood
that Council had given the contract to
the Rhoades company.
Mr.. Giles today called on James
Kane. chairman of the finance comit-
tee of Council, about the matter and
Mr.. Kane sent the following note to
Mr.. Heindle: City Council will take
no action in regard to the decoration
of Market street. Mr.. Giles has con-
troll of the same. The merchants en-
tered into a contract with him TO do
the work"
Mr.. Giles is not using lights in his
decorative work. but is using flags and
bunting, and contemplates stretching
streamers across the street. This ex-
pense is being borne by the merchants,
each one Of whom is being asked to
subscribe toward the fund for such
decorations. Many of the merchants
have subscribed and Market street
should be gay with color. Meanwhile
Mr.. Giles and his assistants are call
ing on other merchants who as ye
have not joined In the plan Th'
RhOades Company also Is eUrking OF
IT'S own account In the decorating line

ate the telegraph and electric light
poles on Market street next week, as
has been reported. The city did pur-
pose. however, he said to illuminate
Market street from Front to Eleventh
streets. The decoration of the poles
will. accordingly, be left TO merchants
Nine hundred electric lights will il
Illuminate Market street during the
week of the firemen's demonstration
and the visit of the battleship Della

stretched across each square of that

PREPARING STATE
TAXATION BILLS
Revenue Commission Discus
SeS Subject at Meeting
Here Today
CODE REVISION LAWS AT
SPECIAL ASSEMBLY SESSION

The State Revenue and Taxation
Commission at its meeting here to-
day discussed various taxation bills
which IL Will present at the next ses-
sion of the legislature. During the
discussion it also was brought out
that a special session Of the general
assembly may be called 10 immedi-
ately follow the regular session, in
which 10 take up the matter OF the
revision OF the code, commission to
revise which was provided for by the
last legislature. The commission is
comprised of former Chief Justice
Charles b. Lore, H. n. Ward and Wal
ter II. Hayes.
In the event Of the commission max
ing a report at the next session Of
the general assembly it is pointed out
by some persons that the matter could
not be taken up and disposed Of
at the regular session because of the
time that would be required to pass
upon the changes advocated. Conse-
quently. a special session Of the legis-
lature would have TO be called.
The question of the advisability. of
submitting the bills advocated by the
revenue commission to the revised
code commission for the approval and
recommendation of that committee
was discussed aud the members were
OF the opinion that they should GO
ahead with the bills. IL was said
that the scode commission might not
make report at this session of the
legislature which would necessitate
a two years wait and for that reason
Il was thought best TO present the bills
and If they were passed. they, with
other measures passed by the mex
legislature, would, of course, be placed
in the code.

to express the real essence Of the ef-

news OF Roosevelt's defeat OF Sherman
was flashed 20 him over the direct

House.
