not so satisfied. Plaintiffs evidence
supports the allegations OF his com
plant, and, although the former pres
ident of the company, without whose
knowledge the alleged contract with
plaintiff could not have been made,
was available as a witness for defen-
dant, he was not called and plaintiffs
evidence was not eontradlcted in any
respect. We do not think any harmful
error was committed in the admission
of evidence and are satisfied that the
substantial justice has been done In
the premises, and, therefore, refrain
from a detailed discussion of the vari-
GUS objections urged by the able coun-
sci for appellant.

A stout woman about 60 years old
rushed into Chief Engineer Taylor's
Office in the lower floor of the city
building at Sixth and King streets to-
day, and mistaking Mr. Taylor for
Chief Of Police Black ratified off a
story at the rate OF a mile a minute
in which she declared that while she
was staying over night in a boarding
house on King street she was robbed
of her watch, rings, iewelry. railroad
tickets and money.
As soon as Chief Taylor could get a
word in, he told the woman where she
could find the police station AT the
latter place she told Captain Evans
that her name was Hubbard and that
her home was in Baltimore. She
claimed to be a trained nurse. She
made no mention of anything beinp
taken from her except s14 in money
and some baggage checks.
She left for Philadelphia on the
Wilson Line before the police haC
time to investigate her complaint.

HOME FROM
CONVENTION
Mr.. Levy Says Charities Con-
ference at Boston Was
Best in Years

Morris Levy. who has just return
ed from a week in Boston as one Of
the delegates to the National Con-
ference Of Charities and Correction.
is enthusiastic over the convention.
AS Mr.. Levy has attended nearly
every annual convention for the last
ten years. he is IN a position to Judge
when he says this was one of the
best Of them. The speech by Jane
Addams on Housing, Health and
Recreation of Children" was the lest
one he heard at the convention, he
said.
Mr.. Levy remembered that ten years
ago, when he went with A. S. Meserve
to the Detroit convention. they were
inspired to come back and start an
agitation for a Juvenile court. which
is soon to be a reality for Whining
ton. This year, Mr.. Levy found that
practically all branches of social bet
terment work were represented In
Wilmington, and that compared with
other cities of the size, the city made
very creditable showing. While on
small scale. the work here was up
to-date and progressive in these lines
The question of fair wages for women
employees, was a theme that received
more attention at this convention thar
at previous ones. One point that wal
was emphasized. said Mr.. Levy. was
the great demand tor paid trained
social workers. Of whom there were
not enough to meet the need.
Mr.. Levy also attended the Ma
tional Jewish Association for Socia
Workers from June to Z. There
were many pleasant social features
connected with both conventions.

her stomach. The doctors stated that
it was the overdose alone that saved
her life.
