be formulated and that the city shall
be empowered to control its own af-
fairs and meet the needs of its .own
life. We ask for complete home-rule
in municipal matters, and for the man
datory initiative and referendum pro-
portionate representation and the right
OF recall.
.. The city shall secure the owner
ship and management of all public
service enterprises as far and as fast
as the State Laws will allow. We
demand that the city be given the
power to take over and manage such
public industries as are now in pri-
vate hands, by getting permission to
raise the bond limit and by issuing
bonds secured on the properties which
thus will shortly more than pay fol
themselves We also want the city
to inaugurate such new enterprises as
the citizens by a majority referendum
vote may approve.
Furthermore, as far as the presen'
-iawsswill permit, we pledge ourselves
TO the following:
3. The city shall redistrict tn,
wards Immediately on an equitabl,
basis, so as not to give one voter in
certain ward two or more times al
much voting power as a voter il
another ward.

ant phases Of the boulevard project
as applied to Wilmington will be dis
cussed.
General dupont has talked over
the subject Of the proposed highway

benefit if the boulevard should pass

purpose.
Towns down the State are holding
public meetings in behalf of the

appear Il is said a formal communi-
cation from him may be received by
the Board of Trade directors this df-
ternoon No letter had been received

'DUVEEN LET
OFF WITH FINE
No Prison Sentence Imposed
Upon the New York
Importer
JUDGE SAYS PEOPLE
WILL CHEAT UNCLE SAM
BY The United Press.


NEW YORK. May 24.--In the Fed
eral Court today Judge Martin impos-
ed a fine Of $4,000 on Henry j. Du-
veen. the importer who yesterday
pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with having undervalued
goods imported into this country.
In the case of Benjamin p. Du-
veen. who also pleaded guilty, Judge
Martin postponed sentence until to-
morrow to permit his counsel to file
additional papers IN the case.
In sentencing Henry J. Duveen,
Judge Martin said he was influenced
by two things, the age Of the de-
fendant, so, and his broken health,
which would make prison sentence
fatal. and the laXity of the customs
officials. who had long overlooked
such offenses as the Duveens had
committed.
VIII Cheat Government.
"The human family Is so consti-
tuted that Il will cheat the Govern
ment II it finds Il can, do so with
safety" he said. THE defendants did
about what most others would have
done under like circumstances. The
kcustoms officials themselves are &c
blame for this state Of affairs.
"The defendants have made restitu'
ton to the Government gilmore tha
81 ,000,00O and have not attemptd C
defeat the ends Of justice since th'
law closed down upon them. Undei
all these considerations / think Il m
humanitarian duty not to impose {
Jail sentence upon this defendant"
Owing TO the fact that Benjamin J
Duveen was only lately taken into tn
firm Of Duveen Brothers, Il was be
lieved that the decision today fore
casted a similar sentence I'm his case

How to Keep Birds So They Will Be
Healthy and Sing.
In selecting canary one of the
cross breeds. pure canary with a strain
OF goldf1nch or bullinch. is the best to
choose. as they are much harder than
the pure canary and have splendid
voices. The best food for canaries is
canary and rape seed. one part of
rape to three Of canary. From April
to September they should have little
fresh green food every day, either
chickweed. watercress or lettuce. says
Our Dumb Animals. A lump Of sugar
should always be kept between the
cage wires within easy reach
Always give canary a bath the first
thing in the morning. After cleaning
the bottom Of the cage should be
sprinkled with gravel and sand (not
sand from the seashore, as the salt will
kill the Bird.
Never hang the cage in a draft or a
stiff breeze, as canaries are very sus-
ceptible to cold. Neither should it re
main uncovered in a lighted room al
night, as the birds song is liable te
become impaired because of its nerv
GUS temperament
