At a meeting OF the directors of
the Board of Trade yesterday after
noon, II was unanimously agreed TO
tender the services of the members of
that body to General T. Coleman du-
Pont and cooperate with him in an
effort to have the proposed DUPONT
boulevard pass directly through Will
mington.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors and nothing was given out, but
il is understood that a route for the
proposed boulevard was discussed.
II the route had been openly discuss
ed II would have tended to increase
the value of property along it's line.
II is understood that General du-
Pont would be willing TO pay a share
of the cost of running the boulevard
through Wilmington If the city did its
share.
The members OF the Park Commits

expressed his willingness to cooper
ate with the Board and intimating
that he might aid them If a route

sirable. and provided by the city. The
boulevard through the city would
have to be $50 OF 200 feet wide, which
would necessitate condemnation Of

OLEO MAKES
COURT EXHIBIT
figures in Prosecution Of Van
Vert Charged With ViOIat-
ing Federal Law
EXPECT TO CLOSE THE
GOVERNMENT CASE TODAY

It is expected that the prosecution
IN the case of Asa L. Van Vert,
charged with coloring and disposing
of oleomargarine without paying the
required government tax, will be
finished today in the United States
Court. L. Irving Handy, counsel for
the defendant, will then put in his
evidence.
Several hundred pounds of what was
said TO be oleomargarine was among
the exhibits today. Immediately along
side District Attorney Nields desk
was a large tub of the mixture. a
lump of the contents of which had
been removed and placed on the lid.
II was yellow in color and had every
appearance of being real butter
The principal witness called to4
day was Mrs. Daniel B. Knight, wife
of the nephew of Van Vert. who tes-
titled against him yesterday. to the
effect that he worked for his uncle
and the latter told him everything
was all right and that if there was
any thouble he alone would be held
responsible. Mrs knight testified
that she remembered two OCCASIONS on
which the defendant brought coloring
to her home to be mixed with oleo-
margarine.
The Knights lived at No. 1904 West
Tenth street. At this place the gov
ernment authorities according to the
evidence of Secret Service Operative
Rudman, was found ten tubs Of oleo,
sixty pounds to a tub, on a wagon
in a barn. In the kitchen of the house
they found several more tubs of oleo
around a stove and in the cellar, two
tubs that had already been colored.
The IA cent government tax on white
goods was stamped on the tabs. The
Government demands 10 cents a pound
tax on colored oleomargarine.
Rudman also testified to finding
colored oleomargarine upon which the
tax had not been paid, at Van Wert's
home, in King street, above Seventh
street.
When Van Vert was arrested Knight
was taken into custody as an ac-
eomplice. The grand jury, however,
failed to find an indictment against
him.

plane, But the Bird
is Shot
THRILLING COMBAT
In MID AIR In SPAIN
By The United Press.

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain. May 25.-
Attacked by a giant eagle while sail
ing along on the last leg of his fight
in the Paris-Madrid aeroplane race, M.
Gilbert was in grave danger for several
minutes today. The bird swooped down
on the aviator, apparently believing
that the Bleriott monoplane was some
fantastic sort of winged creature
which threatened his supremacy as
king of the air. II landed on the front
of the monoplane and after reconnoit-
ering for several seconds, finally lung
ed directly at Giberts head. AS its
claws struck the metal headpiece
which he was wearing, the bird flut-
tered upwards and then swooped
again. This time it missed the aviator
and only cleared the whirling propel-
Ter by a few inches.
The swish of the air currents stir
red up by the wind from the propel-
Ter blades further enraged the bird
and with a shrill scream it pursued
the monoplane and made another
swoop at Gilbert, trying to strike his
eyes with its sharp claws.
Shot the Eagle.
Realizing his peril. Gilbert got his
revolver out His first shot went wild,
but the second entered the body of the
big bird and it fell earthward. Gilbert
lost control of his monoplane for a
second, but by superhuman manipula-
tion managed to get il on an even
keel just as he seemed about to crash
TO earth and then continued his fight
unharmed. He was compelled to alight
shortly afterward, having covered only
sixty miles. Gilbert, Pierre Vedrine and
Roland Garros are the three left in the
race for the prizes aggregating $4,000
Garros came down eight miles from
this city because Of motor trouble,
Nedrine broke his machine with loo
miles left to go, but the latest report
from him was that he was undertake
ing repairs. He leads on the initial
stages of the journey.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-A vigor-
GUS opinion, setting forth in stronger
language, his dissenting views deliv-
cred orally from the bench was filed
in the Supreme Court of the United
States today by Associate Justice
Harlan in the Standard Oil case. He
scores the other eight members of
the highest bench for interfering
with the people, the source of all
legislative power" and sets forth his
belief that the majority opinion, in
stead of beneftting business will re-
suit in much litigation, the injurious
effect of which will be felt for many
years to come. He agrees with the
majority I'm finding the Standard Oil
Company guilty and ordering its dis
solution, but in the strongest terms
condemns the judicial usurpation OF
the legislative function"
His argument against the reading
into the law of the word 'unreason-
able" referring to the prohibition OF
combination "in restrain of trade,
is set forth at great length.
The senior justice quotes sarcastic
ally the statement that the majority
of the court has modified the decree
of the lower court in the Standard
Oil case as to minor matters"
"I apprehend," he said, that those
notifications may prove TO be mis-
chievous."
THE courts have nothing 10 do with
the wisdom or policy Of an act Of Con-
gress. They have no function de-
clare a public policy nor to amend
legislative enactments. Nevertheless
if l do not misapprehend it's opinion
the court has now read into the act
of Congress words which are not to
be found there, and has thereby done
that which was adjudged in 1896 and
1898 could not be done without vio-
lating the constitution.

vice at the national capital and after

is binding alike upon all, upon Pres
