SEND IN COMMUNICATIONS

Writing a pie &c for the
paper is an occupation that has
thrived for a good many years.
Many like to communicate their
ideas to the newspaper and the
editor always likes to have them
do so. In fact. one Of the best
features of a live newspaper is
the communications from its
readers. Communications al e
always welcome in the sanctum
and the oftener they come the
better, provided, of course, that
the matter is not Overdone. A
communication should always be
signed by the writer and the
name need not be published un-
less the writer SO desires. But
the editor must have it as guar
antee Of good faith. The Herald
has published some communica-
tons of late and they were eJ-
cellent reading. The HeralH
would like to publish more COM
munications. If any person has
anything to say through tile
columns of this paper, his COM
'munication will be given a place,
provided, Of course, that the
rules of courtesy be observed
and the name of the writer ac-
companies the letter. Anony-
nous letters will be thrown in
the waste basket.

CLOSE TO DEATH
In HOTEL FIRE
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
CLAYTON, n. Y, Aug. 24-The
fashionable Hotel Frontenac, on
Sound Island. one of the finest resorts
on the st. Lawrence river, is today a
mass Of smoking ruins, while the
hundred and ninety guests. most Of
them New Workers, are congratulating
themselves on their narrow escapes,
despite the fact that most of them
lost most OF their possessions.
Many thrilling escapes marked the
fire. which started just before mid.
night and defed all efforts Of the EN-
ployes and the firemen summoned
from this city, to extinguish 1t. When
the alarm was given the guests rush
ed into the corridors in their night
robes only to be met with clouds Of
smoke that drove them back It was
necessary for the hotel employees, who
we're perfectly disciplined, to drop all
work OF putting out the flames until
they could get the terror-striclzen peo-
ple into the big lawn which surrounds
the hotel.

and Philadelphia Traction Company a
solar plexus blow when it decided at
a meeting held last night to switch
from electricity to gas for lighting the
city buildings The electric company
was getting between S2700 and s2SO0
year for lighting the buildings.
The Wilmington Gas Company sub
mitted figures showing that the cost
to the city for lighting the public
buildings with gas would not be
more than $1,000 a year, based on the
same 95 cent rate as extended TO
any individual or corporation, with
discount off. for the first 100000 feet,
80 cents for the second 100000 feet,
IS for third 100000 feet and so on
down.
Electricity will be needed to operate
the fans and the public building COM
mittee figured that it will cost about
$500 for this. which added to the $1,000
for lighting, brings the total up to
about $500, net saving to the city OF
at least $1,000 a year.
The contract is for three years and
will be formally acted upon at the re-
gular meeting Of Council tonight

But FIVE days remain in which the
mercantile tax for the year can be
paid. After next Wednesday, August
so, a fine of twenty-five per cent. Of

There are a large number Of busi-

have neglected TO observe the law.
Under the law Of the last Legisla-

Of business done but on the raw ma

There are some manufacturers who

Police BaffIed in Trying to
Locate Officer Walkers
ASSaiIant
CONDITION SERIOUS,
BULLET NOT REMOVED

Mystery still surrounds the identity
Of tho man who shot Patrolman
swithin c. Walker near his home on
South Harrison street ON Tuesday
night about $50 o'clock.
An arrest In the case was made
last night and the suspect, a Polish
man. taken to the Delaware Hospital
by Police Captain Kane. but Walker
WAS unable to identify him and ne
was later released
The police are at loss how TO work
on the case. Walker gives one dc
scriptiop Of his assailant and James
y. McNespie, a riveter at the plant
Of the Harlan and IIollingsworth Cor
poration. who was with him at the
time of the shooting, gives another.
Walker say the man was young and
had a smooth face. McNespie stated
to the police that the would-be as
sassin had a mustache Neither gave
very clear description
The authorities learned that there
was a beer drinking party in a house
In that section of the city, occupied
by Italians, and they made an investi-
cation, thinking that it might have
been one Of the men who participated
in this affair who did the shooting but
they were satisfied that tn Italians
had no connection with the case
Up to today nobody else could be
found who even heard the shots A
woman living near the Walkers says
she heard the reports OF the pistol
but paid no attention 10 them think
ing that somebody was shooting al
cats,
Walker and McNespie had been to

Walkers physicians do not thin
that the bullet passed through the IN
