SOME WORK
FOR THE CHURCH

"The Eternal Challenge" was the
ject of a sermon by the Rev. c. A.
Henderson, pastor Of the Unitarian
Church, yesterday morning. In part
Mr.. Henderson said:
"The need of the hour is for the
church to do its work in making mems
hearts kindlier, whereupon poverty
will be seen for what it is, poverty,
and injustice for what it is, injus-
tice; hearts hndlier and hearts less
proud, that so that which calls to be
done can be seen in all its manifold
ness. Panacea promoters. hobby
riders, those who have a cure-all for
society, are generally not humble.
They are poor listeners; they are at
heart selfish. To dispense with the
doctrineair. be he socialist, single
taxer, woman's suffragist, or what
not, so he is a doctrineair, a man with
a panacea. to dispense with him We
should not argue with him. We will
never reach him I'm that way. We
should convert him; and then his eye
roams in all his selfshness over the
whole of society and he sees that the
world waits upon many things and
not upon one thing"

LOCATION OF
WATER MAINS
Water Department InfOrmS
County That Lack Of Funds
Prevents Removal

At the meeting of the Board Of
Water Commissioners yesterday Chief
Engineer Kienle reported having held
a short conference with Engineer Will
son relative to the location of the pro-
posed new bridge to replace the pres
ent structure over the Christiana
river at Third street. While no def
mite location for the bridge had
been decided upon Mr.. Kienle said he
had informed Mr.. Wilson that the de-
partment had no appropriation pro-
viding for the removal of the present
water main near the bridge and that
the commissioners would expect the
county to pay the expense OF the re-
moval and replacing of the main.
According to present plans the
bridge will have a closed span upon
its west end and a clear span OF 10
feet on the South side.
Mr.. Kienle said he had made sugges-
ton to Mr. Wilson about the work and
also had informed the county engi-
neer that the members of the Water
Department were willing to meet the
county engineers and Levy Court at
any time to agree on the plans.
During the discussion Mr.. Shaw
said he thought that the present To-
cation of the bridge would be the best
they could get. When the new bridge
is built it will mean about 120 feet
of, submarine work or water main to
be relaid.
It WAS announced that today was
the last meeting day of the board for
this month, this week and this quar-.
tor. and as it also was President
ShSw's last meeting, the weekly pay
roll OF $1,159.64; the monthly roll of
S1,145; and the quarterly roll of S225,
were read, approved and ordered paid.
The bank balance of the credit OF
the current fund amounts to S5,716.97.
Registrar McIntire reported that
there was only $2,467 in uncollected
bills against about $4,000 at the same
period next year.
Bills owed by the department
amounting to $6,S20.67, were ordered
paid When the board has sufficient
funds.
It was shown that the board now
owes about S10,099.S1 and has only
about $4,000 with which to meet the
bills. This is about the usual yearly
deficit Of the board.

An interesting bit Of political gos-
sip from the lower part OF the state
is that Senator Harry A. Richardson.

election as United States Senator at

been assumed among many political
leaders that Senator Richardson
would quietly step out, and while he
has made no definite statement, Il IS
now said that his friends will urge
that he be a candidate to succeed him

In QUESTION At THIS TINE

With the refusal of John j. Mona-
CHAN to act as City Auditor in place
Of John ID. Kurtz, who was ousted
by City Council last Friday night.
Wilmington at present is without an
auditor and there Is no likelihood Of
another selection being made until
tomorrow night. to which time Coun-
ell adjourned. IL was said today that
there would be a special meeting
called for tonight but at o'clock no
call had been made.
Much interest is centered I'm who
will be selected by Council to fill the
place made vacant by Mr.. Kurtz's re-
tirement. Several names have been
mentioned In connection with the Of
fee, among them being Clarence Kill
len, who had charge of the Demo-
cratic headquarters during the recent
campaign, and Charles r. Kenworthy,
a young man, who Is a clerk by occu-
patton. and whose father is the head
of the Capelle Hardware Company. It
Is pointed out that both young men
are capable of holding tho Office II
was said on authority this afternoon,
however, that Kenworthy will be the
selection. He will. it is claimed, re-
ceive the Democratic votes in Coun-
ell tomorrow night
Mayor Spruance still keep hands on

ings. II is understood that he is still
as much opposed TO the ousting Of Mr.
Kurtz as he was when the Democrats

ditor out of office.
With no City Auditor to approve
bills and sign checks no money can
be paid out.
John H. Dandy, vice-presndent Of
the Union National Bank in which in

count when asked today II his bank
would cash any checks not signed by
Mr.. Kurtz, said that so far as he knew
the bank would accept checks signed
by any person as City Auditor selected
in Mr.. Kurtzs place. He added how
ever. that the bank had not yet been
officially notified of any changes in

scented itself he thought legal advice
would probably be sought.

SENATOR RICHARDSON MAY
90 AFTER A SECOND TERM

II is also likely that a boom for

ment in favor of him for Senator, even
though he declined the Senatorship
when IL was voluntarily offered TO him
