CITY SIzzLES,
NO RELIEF YET
Refreshing Breeze at Times
This Misunderstanding
in Washington

Following an exceedingly warm
night those Wilmingtonians who had
been able to sleep awoke this morn
ing to find the mercury still lowering
near the 80 mark and with humidity
adding to the discomfort. There was
very little sleep for many during the
night At times this morning there
was a refreshing breeze.
For awhile this morning the sky was
overcast and many thought relief was
in sight but shortly after 10 o'clock it
became warmer and at noon it regis
tered 90 degrees. At 2 o'clock this had
been increased to 81 degrees and it
was crawling upward.
There was one case of prostration
reported, that being Michael McGoni-
gal, aged 45 years an employe Of the
Kentmere mills of the Joseph Ban
croft and Sons Company. He was re-
moved to the Delaware Hospital in the
Phoneix ambulance. At the hospital II
was said he was in a serious condition
and it was impossible to learn where
he lived.
The warm weather of the last few
days has filled the various parks, and
during the greater part Of last night
hundreds remained on their front
steps or along the curbs in the con-
gested districts. A favOrite spot ap-
pears to be the coping around the
County Court House and the wall in
Market street between Ninth and
Tenth streets.
Washington had rain storm early
this afternoon.

VETO ON COAL
ORDINANCE
Mayor Believes Council Ex-
Cecded Authority in Pass
ing Act
ALSO OBJECTS TO
EXPENSE INVOLVED

Mayor Howell this afternoon in
formed a delegation Of local coal deal
ers that the ordinance passed by the
recent City Council setting standSfd
of 2240 pounds for a ton of coal and
also providing for the weighing of the
same would be returned to that body
unsigned. The reason given by the
Mayor for this action it was said was
the question as to the right of City
Council to pass such an ordinance.
Among those In the committee were
Charles H. Ten Weeges and Mr.. Jor-
dan of the Charles Warner Company,
Wilmer Stradley. Consumers Ice and
Coal Company, Edward w. Pusey
Henry Snyder and j. f. White Of White
Brothers.
II was brought out at the meeting
that the dealers favored the weighing
of the coal but they thought a wagon
should be weighed when empty and
when loaded by the same scales. Mayor
Howell said he objected to the added
cost on the city of Weighing, the bill
proposing the paying OF 25 cents to
the weigher of the coal. He said that
low figure would place this expense
at $4,000 yearly. He did think a
measure similar to that OF the plumb
ing inspector would be advisable. This
would make it necessary for the pur-
chasers to pay the cost If the ton
measured to the standard ton, other
wise the coal dealers would have it
to pay.

CASSIDY IS
NOT QUITTING
Wires Mr.. Brown That Chicks
Will Play Out SChed-
ule
NO MONEY WILL BUY
FRANCHISE, Mr.. BROWN SAYS

Having heard over the Tri-state
circuit that the Wilmington team
would quit Manager Pete Cassidy tele-
graphed TO Thomas NJ Brown, this
morning that he had no intention Of
quitting. Mr.. Brown, who, with Mr..
Cassidy. owns the team, gave out a
similar statement earlier in the day,
mention of which is made elsewhere
in this paper.
In his telegram to Mr. Brown. Pete
says: I'VE may not be winning, but we
are not cutters" Pete is going ahead
strengthening the Chicks and expects
to yet have team that will be able TO
pull up in the league race. The team
has been losing all its games by one
and two run margins, which indicates
that the boys are not playing such a
poor article of ball.
The team owners want the fans to
understand that they appreciate the
loyalty they have shown in sticking by
the club. Mr.. Brown said that he did
not blame the fans for not turning out
in larger numbers. He knows the fans
want to see a winning team and while
he and Cassidy have been trying hard
to put the team up in the running they
have been prevented by conditions
beyond their control. They are hopeful,
however. of a better break for the team
in time to put it we'll up in the race.
Mr.. Brown is as emphatic as Pete in
his denial of the quitting talk. He said
this morning that no amount of money
would buy the Wilmington franchise.
Whether winning or losing he said the
fans who have supported the club un-
til this time will have the privilege of
seeing their favorites at South Side the
remainder of the season.

TARIFF NOT
LOCAL ISSUE
Revision Has Support Of Re-
publiCanS as Well as DEM
OCratS, Says RedfieId
NOT ACQUISITION OF
SUPPORT BY ONE PARTY
By The United Press.

DJ nc OnAicu LAtcbs
WASHINGTON. July THAT Han
cock was wrong when he dubbed the
tariff "a local issue" and that at pres
ent tariff revision is national move
ment to secure lower rates, having
the support Of fajority of the Re-
publicans as we'll as Democratic
voters throughout the country was
the opinion expressed today by Rep
resentative Redfield, (Dem., N. Y.,) in
the following signed statement to the
United Press:
By Representative William c. Redfield
The biggest fact in the present
political situation is the extraordin.
airy support that the Democratic tariff
policies are receiving not only in Con.
gress but throughout the country.
Recall that the Democratic party
majority in the House of Representa-.
tives is sixty-five and compare with
this the majority for the free list bill
of 1877 and that for the wool bill oi
121. II at once becomes clear thai
these bills have passed out of the
class of mere party measures anc
have become in true sense national
measures, supported by men bearing
different party labels.
The Democratic policy of gradual
reduction of the tariff has not only
won the support of its nominal oppo-
nents in the House, but is receiving
constant backing throughout the coun-
try from the very men who in pre-
vious years have been reckoned as
antagonistic.
/ have received numerous letters
from Republicans endorsing the Demo
cratic policy including manufacturers
This countrywide opinion is forcing
those who would resist it to abandon
me position after another. It offers
assurance of more permanent settle
ment of the tariff question than ever
but it is now not a matter of one
party only, but is the result of q
force as wide as the land, and exist
ing among men of all shades Of opin
ion.
