Fire Chief FINDS Buildings
Equipped for HaSty Exit

Fire Chief Simon f. Moran has
about completed an inspection OF
practically all the buildings I'm the
city except private houses and small
factories.
Chief Moran said he had found every
building. especially where large num-
bers of persons are employed, with
one or two exceptions, well protected
against fire and well equipped with
fire escapes, large and numerous
exits, sprinklers and fire hose.
The only danger he sees here would
be from panic and then only among
the foreign women IN the cigar and
morocco factories. The Chief was sur
prised to find Wilmington's buildings
so we'll equipped and protected.
The Chief is confident no such
catastrophe as occurred in New York,
where many girls recently lost their

ADVOCATING THE
NEW GAME LAWS
Governor Has Not Acted on
Bills Providing for Licenses
for GunnerS

Governor Pennewill has not afnia
as yet on the series Of bills TO create
tho Game and Fish Commissioners Of
Delaware and 10 provide for a dollar
license for resident gunners and a $40
license for nonresident gunners.
Speaking of the bills now before the
Governor, sportsman. who has given
the subject much study. today said:
Like everything new, the game
bills passed at the recent session OF
the Legislature, are receiving their
share OF censure and praise; in which,
however, praise largely predominates.
This censure In great part is bred OF
misunderstanding. Some persons are
disposed to object to the resident gum
ners' license, on the ground that the
fund REALIZED from Il will be virtually
lost to those from whom It is raised:
in other words that there will be
nothing more to show for it than at
the present time. This will be far
from the case, as the bills also pro-
vide for a board Of three Game and
Fish Commissioners. one from each
Of the counties, not more than two
of whom serving at the same time.
to be of the same political party, and
each Commissioner TO be bonded In
$4,000 for the faithful and honest per-
/ formance Of his duty. Delaware is
the only State in the Union in which
game and fish protection Is not under
State control. without the revenue
derived from the resident gunners'
license, the Commissioners hands will
be tied. This license is absolutely
necessary to raise sufficient money to
carry on the work Of enforcing the
game and fish laws and restocking
and propagating Thirty-four States
of the Union have already adopted
this license, and where It has been in
force, even for a short time, II has
wrought wonders in increased game
and better sport, and has proven q
most popular law with all classes. The
wonder is that Delaware has any
game at ALL with the lax way the law
has been enforced, and the still moro
lax way It has sheen obeyed. Let us
give this law, so highly recommended
by many other States, a fair trial:
then, If it is not the right law for Del
aware. let us change It. Is II fair or
just to criticise and condemn that
, which we have never tried and DO not
; know for ourselves, especially when
) It IS heartily endorsed IN the States
: which have it, and by people who
know It from experience? What man
who is worthy of carrying a gun, but
q would gladly contribute a dollar
I year for the protection and increase
OF game with the positive assurance
{ from the experience of other States
- that such would be the case"
