COPS PLAN FOR
RELIEF FUND
Project Being Considered for
an Association to Protect
Their Families

Efforts are being made by members
of the Police Department TO form a
relief association for the protection Of
their families in case of the death Of
any policeman. A typewriter state
ment of the proposition is now being
circulated among the men and 1t is
thought that all will sign it, The
matter was agitated some time ago.
The organization will probably be
known as the Police Benefit Associa-
ton, with duly accredited officers.
The chief of police and two captains
will comprise the executive commit
tee.
Il is planned to have each officer
contribute so cents a month towards
a fund thatsis to be secured. This
fund is to be S40O. In case Of the
death of anw of the policemen, mis-
widow, children or estate will receive
$500. The officers will then con-
tribute 90 centsea month each until
the sum of S400 is again in hand and
then the assessments will stop. They
Will not have to contribute any more
unless a death occurs and the society
has to pay out $780, Then the
assessments viii be started again and
continued until another $400 has been
secured. II is planned to keep 5000
In reserve at all times.

NEWARK. Del, May 31.-Delaware
College track team was defeated in a
dual meet with the Muhlenberg Col
lege cinder boys of Allentown. Pa.
yesterday afternoon. The Pennsy
trainers devote all their spring ath-
letic work to track and none to base
ball; consequently they had a big ad-
vantage over the Blue and Gold. The
final score was S4 to AZ.
The afternoon shower interrupted
the meet and also made the track slow
and heavy. Although the Delaware
boys lost they broke four college re-
cords, Millington making a record of
S3 feet inches in the shot put and
80 feet inches in the discus throw.
Cranston established a two mile re-
cord of IL minutes. seconds, and
Dean broke the high hurdle record
making it in 10 AS seconds, while
Sawdon made the mile in the record
time of A minutes SO 2-5 seconds.
Delaware only received two first, Saw

JERSEY PUTS UP
AUTO LICENSE
Full Annual Fee, Instead Of
One Dollar, to Tourists
From Delaware

Beginning tomorrow the automobile
lists from Delaware will be obliged to
take out an annual license in New
Jersey, as eight-day licenses will
not be granted to Delawareans. The
amount Of the license will depend
upon the horsepower of the cars en-
gine and ranges from $6.25 TO s15.25
a year.
Under the ruling In New Jersey
every automobile must have the IL
cense as no reciprocity exists any
longer between New Jersey and States
that will not grant an eight-day one
dollar license TO New Jersey
An automobilist this morning said !.
1T is only proper for New Jersey TO
demand a license. They have splen-
did roads and no toll gates. Here we
have poor roads and toll gates so that
New Jersey is justified in demanding
the visitors to pay a license, espec-
ialy If other States exact a years Ii
cense from tourists from New Jersey,
as Delaware and other States do"
New Jerseys action will be disap-
pointing TO many Delawareans who
visit Jersey seashore resorts and use
an eight-day license, which is now to
be withdrawn.

Junior Mechanics Present En-
blem to Float at VernOn'S
Grove Park
EVERETT JONES AND REV.
Z. N. BALDWIN SPEAK

A flag raising was held yesterday af-
ternon at Verhon's Grove. Claymont,
attended by large number of visitors
from this city and adjoining towns,
and by the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics who presented
the flag. Edward Kelley, chairman Of
the flag committee, was in charge Of
the proceedings. Musical numbers
during the program were America"
and The Star Spangled Banner" sung
by all to the accompaniment of the
fife and drum corps
The opening address and the speech
of acceptance were made by the Rev.
Eben N. Baldwin, of Claymont. The
speech OF presentation of the flag was
made by Everett Jones. The large as
semblage broke into cheers as the
flag was unfolded and given to the
breeze, and a salute was fired by the
Jr o. U. A. Nj. firing squad. Refresh
ments we're served at the close Of the
exercises.
In his eloquent address Everett
Jones spoke of the healing of differ
ences between the North and the South
and paid this tribute to the old SOL
diers: May we ever hold sacred this
day, remembering that these men have
preserved to us a nation and a coun-
try. Let us rejoice that IL still lives a
monument to their noble sacrifices,
their dauntless courage, and their
superb heroism. May We with equal
courage and loyalty accept the re-
sponsibilities which they have left rs,
and endeavor to weld into our citizen
ship and the life of our nation a char
acter that is clean. strong. and high
principled We. of the great Junior Or
der of United American Mechanics
have come here to emphasize anew our
faith In the maintenance OF law and
order and in the upholding of the Con-
stitution and the Federal Govern
ment."
He said that the flag meant justice
for rich and poor, a square deal for
all, and that It had never been used 10
aid oppression but always to advance
the cause of liberty. In conclusion the
speaker urged all Americans to carry
forward nobly their country's banner
and the high ideals for which 1t stood

connected with Strong and Cadwala-
der and subsequently represented the
sugar trust in the purchase of the
friar lands Wickersham said, however,
that at the time he rendered his fam
Gus opinion which permitted the sale
of these friar lands to the trust. he
was not aware that Hammond repre-
sentea Havemyer, president Of the
sugar refining company.
Wickersham's statement that he had
on several occasions represented the
steel trust came as a result of a series
of questions by Beall as to whether the
firm of Strong and Cadwalader had
ever appeared as counsel for any of
the monopolies."
Once Advised Steel Trust.
Has the firm ever had any con-
nection with the steel trust?" asked
Beall.
Il personally have advised the
United States Steel Corporation in one
or two matters" Wickersham said.
"At what period?
Between 1905 and 1909, before l be-
came encouragement. It was on
three or four. or perhaps five different
occasions.
did that firm ever represent the
New York Cotton Exchange?"
Yes. Henry w. Taft was counsel
for the exchange. I think he con-
tinues in that capacity.
Beall was particularly anxious TO
secure from the witness the reason
why the Department OF Justice and
the Treasury Department accepted a
S2,000,0O0 settlement from the sugar
trust as restitution for the underval-
uation at New York rather than force
the payment Of several penalties
provided by law.
Wickersham said that the depart
ment felt that II did not have suf-
ficient evidence" on which to support
claim for penalties. though he said
IL was his belief that the restitution
was made because of the fear on the
part Of the American Sugar Refining
Company that the penalties would be
enforced against them

resolution of that body, borrowed
$4,000 from the Union National Bank.
This is payable July 90. when the new
Council will be - power. By this
means the present Council shirks
$4,000 Of its debt and saddles It upon
the new Council. The interest on this
$4,000 will be S461.
Out of the $4,000, water bonds
amounting to $4,000 we're paid on
May 1, and the checks were actually
drawn on the current fund of the city
for that amount. Interest of $15,400
on water bonds also was paid out of
this $4,000, and there we're other re-
ceipts and disbursements that left the
balance of the current fund as
S107502 on the morning Of May 20,
Monday of this week.
Borrow $4,000 More.
On Monday another $4,000 was
borrowed through Mr.. Kane's finance
committee from the Union Bank, with
out the authority or action on the
part of Council sanctioning such a
loan. and this was deposited to the
current fund, making a balance of
1.075.20 to the credit Of the city at
the end of Monday.
Out of this borrowed $4,000 there
are actual expenditures to date Of
SS.9S2.84, leaving S22,1421S balance in
the treasury.
Tomorrow the following items are
due; $4,000 OF water bonds, S7,503
Police Department payroll. $255 Coun-
Gil payroll. $500 miscellaneous pay
roll. a total of s26.5S1, and there is
only $22,142 to meet this demand of
more than S26,50O, Notwithstanding
that $4,000 was borrowed on Mon
day and $50, 900 the month before.
This SS4 900 of deficit, represented
in the $4,000 borrowed and the $4,000
more of expenses than actual cash in
hand, does not represent the entire
Democratic deficit by any means, for
there are thousands and thousands OF
dollars Of bills due and presented that
the present Council is holding up and
not paying, and which it is hoped to
foist upon the new Council to pay
No date is set on which the 100000
borrowed on Monday by Chairman
Kane is to be paid back, and 1t may
be saddled upon the new Council, too
The Peoples Railway Company has
given rote for $4,000 for taxes il
owes to the city, and II is expected
this Will be discounted By the

cash be applied to reduce the deficit of
