W. and B. BANK
NOW LIGHTS UP
I've Big Gas Arcs in Front
of Building Attracted Much
Attention

The latest branch of business 70
fall in line for a brighter Whining
ton" is the National Bank Of Whining
ton and Brandywine, at Second and
Market streets, which has installed
two large gas arc lights on the Market
street front of its banking house.
These lamps were burned for the first
time on Thursday night and they
transform Second and Market streets.
Not only do the lights furnish a
means OF advertising the bank, but
they furnish another safeguard Of the
institution during the night by max
inc the sidewalk about the building
as bright as day. The Wilmington and
3randywins Bank Is the first banking
institution in Wilmington 70 resort 10
the use OF brilliant lights OUTSIDE lts
building and doubtless this innovation
will be followed b. other banks.
The Wilmington Gas Company IN
stalled the big arc lamps early. this
week. and the bank officials after TWO
nights use Of the lights are mucn
pleased with the change made. Sec
ond and Market streets at night is
not too light for pedestrians, gener-
ally. but the two gas arcs now dinuse
light over big area there and make
q complete transformation OF the
neighborbood.
The bank officials have arranged foI
the lamps to be burned all night, Sc
that the bank is brought into promi-
nence practically from sunset to sun
rise. AS the institution is on the
principal route of traffic to and from
French street station at night, as
we'll as the southern entrance Of the
city. the new lights will doubtless
prove a big advertising feature fol
the banking house.
Harold S. Schutt, general manager
of the Wilmington Gas Company, TO
day said that Milwaukee if probably
the foremost city in the country fol
using big lights in front Of banking
houses, but the Wilmington and
Brandywine Bank is one OF the few
outside OF Milwaukee that has adopted
the plan, which he thinks will soor
become general.

GIRLS BACKED
BY RICH MEN
Fear Now That Stokes VIII
Abandon Bis Prosecution
for Assault
RACY DEVELOPMENTS ARE
EXPECTED AT THE TRIAL

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, June 1o.-That birds
Of feather" do not always flock to-
gether will be demonstrated Monday
morning In the West Side Court, when
Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad will
be re-arraigned on the charge OF
shooting with intent to kill W. e. d.
Stokes. the millionaire owner Of the
Hotel Ansonia.
A number of rich men have indi-
GATED their willingness to go bail for
the girls and TO see that they are rep
resented by an array of counsel. For
fear that Stokes may drop the suit,
now that II promises such racy devel-
opments, the girls are being urged to
bring a counter charge of felonious
assault against him, as they charge
him with attacking them In their
apartments in the Yaruna when he
called ostensibly to obtain possession
OF letters which he had written to
Miss Graham.
Whether this effort 10 force a trial
is due TO the desire TO hear the ex-
pected sensational developments or
the belief that Stokes is prosecuting
the girls, one Of whom, Miss Corral,
is only IS. is not known The fact
remains that the girls will not lack
friends when they next appear in
court.
Stokes Gave Girl $500.
Stokes story that the letter he
sought contained nothing that would
in any way compromise him has been
weakened, Miss Graham's friends say
by the admission Of his own attorney
Terrence McManus, that Stokes gave
her $500 short time before the shoot
ing when she called at his Office in
the Ansonia and demanded $500 for
the return of the letters.
AS Miss Graham demanded only
$500 at this time, according to Stokes
and was refused such an amount, il
is believed improbable that she would
have boosted her figure to $4,000 the
sum which Stokes alleges was asked
of him whom he appeared at the girls
apartment.
Mrs. Alice Andrews. the widowed
sister Of Miss Graham VIII arrive
here tomorrow from San Francisco
bearing, It is said, substantial mes
sage from John Singleton, the prison
er's brother-in-law, who is Los An
geles millionaire Miss Conrad'i
mother. Mrs. Charles Nagel. and her
stepfather who at first turned against
