paniment Of cars No, B. 16, as and As,
Of the Peoples Railway; that they
would not be tolerated In philadel-
phia and why should they be hereg

the railway company appeared before
the Board. the communication was
handed 10 him, saying that the Board

GAS COMPANY
WOULD LIGHT UP

In an interview this morning with
q reporter Of THE EVENING JOUR
NAL. H. S. Schutt, general manager
OF the Wilmington Gas Company, ex-
pressed his views upon the proposed
lighting of Market street He also ex-
planned why the Gas Company had not
ing for Market street sooner.
Mr. Schutt said that from the first
the company had not done anything
definite in the matter owing to the
fact that they considered it a PROPOSE
tion started by the electric light COM
pany and one In which the electric
company was alone interested But
in view Of the many requests for some
proposition for the lighting Of Mar
ket street which have been made 10 the
Gas Company, by the Market street
merchants. Mr. Schutt said that the
company had considered the matter
and felt disposed to give estimates
If the merchants wanted them.
II was said that the lighting would
be more of advertising value TO the
company than from a pecuniary view
point because the rates which would
be specified for the consumption OF
gas for Market street lighting would
be very low. And owing TO the great
advertising value II would be to the
company, Mr. Schutt felt that the
company could afford TO quote a re-
markably low figure. II the city should
! desire, Mr. Schutt says that the com,
pany Is willing to do its best to MAX,
the main thoroughfare a blaze OF
| light"

STREET BOARD
NEEDS MONEY

The question OF lack Of money came
up before the Directors of the Street
and Sewer Department this morning,
and caused some spirited discussion.
The cause was inability TO extend the
Front street sewer. which affected
many properties, and about which the
department has communicated with
City Council. President Sparks said
that the board was given $4,000 less
than the estimate year before last.
$4,000 less than=that last year, and
had now $4,000 of debts. and was un-
able 20 grant new sewers. He thought
It was short-sighted of the city to deny
money for sewers. as in ordinary
cases they were the means of bringing
money back TO the city.

SEEKS DIVORCE
ON NOVEL GROUND

In the Superior Court today the di-
vorce case of Marion Il. McClenaghan
VS. Walter McClenaghan was called
for trial Mrs. McClenaghan alleged
extreme cruelty. The case is unusual
in that while extreme cruelty was
alleged as ground fo- divorce no per-
sonal abuse took place. Mental an
guish and physical suiferings follow
ing her husbands financial standing
caused a break down in the woman's
health. II Is the first case alleging
such reasons for divorce that has
come before the Delaware courts.
The plaintiff was a daughter Of
Walter Francis Of this city, and was
married here in June 1905. The cou-
pie went to Philadelphia to live and
a week after that the wife alleges a
worthless check was issued. Later
a chattel mortgage was given on their
furniture, men theatened to remove
the furniture as her husband refused
to pay the money due. Creditors came
and the gas men removed the meter.
Mrs. McClenaghan alleges she became
a physical wreck owing TO similar
perpetual annoyances. She said she
came here and was very sick at her
fathers home. After recovery they
went to board at Twenty-second and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia. For
months she said she was constantly
worried by creditors demanding
money. Her mother later brought her
home since which time she has been
a wreck mentally and physically.
Plaintiff said her husband had left
her and went TO New York because
warrants were out for his arrest on
charges obtaining money on fraudu-
lent checks. Witness was threatened
with arrest and her furniture was
seized. Several witnesses. in addition
TO Mrs. McClenaghan. were heard
this morning, DR.. Stubbs testifying
that the condition of the plaintiffas
health would not allow her to live
with her husband again.
William G. Jones and David ]
Reinhardt representing the plaintiff
submitted authorities in support O.
the petition.

DISAPPROVETHE
PLUMBERS BILL
Street and Sewer Department
Sees No Need Of lnSpeC-
tiOn Trip
POWER ALREADY
WITH THE DIRECTORS

Unanimous disapproval of the bill
prepared by the Master Plumbers As
sociauon for presentation TO the
legislature providing for an examin-
ing board for applicants for plumbing
licenses. and submitted a week ago
for approval to the DIRECTORS Of the
Street and Sewer Department, was
announced by the department this
morning to Harry II. Mellon, repre-
scnting the association. Mr.. Mellon
stated that the chief purpose OF the
association in forming the bill, was
TO prevent applicants who had not
proper qualifications from receiving
plumbing licenses The association
is willing to have the board in
creased from three to five, to include
the president Of the Board of Health,
and a member of the Street and Sewer
Department, Mr. Mellon said.
President Sparks stated he would
not speak on the subject for Commis-
sioner John c. Gray was out of town,
although no thought Mr.. Gray's senti-
ments were similar, but the members
present considered such q bill re-
| Election on the street and Sewer De-
partment and would not approve any
bill OF the sort. President Sparks
said he did not see why Il was neces-
sarv for the association TO go TO the
Legislature unless they distrusted the
Street and Sewer Department. and II
they did, they could hardly look to the
board for approval of their bill.
President Sparks read an ordin-
ance showing that all power with re-
gard to granting Of plumbers licenses,
and methods of determining appli-
cants' fitness were vested in the
Street and Sewer Department, and
that they had power TO create such
an examining board. He did not say
the department would do so, as that
proposition was not then before them
to decide one way or the other.
= Mr. Mellon said the association
was ignorant Of such a power vested
= In the board, and he would report the
fact TO the association. President
Sparks said 1t was another testi-
mcnial to the statement made by Mr..
Harman last night. that Wilmington
citizens were ignorant of their muni-
cipal laws. Mr. Sparks said 1t was
also another case of going down to
Dover to get home rule which they
had already, and that Wilmington had
b home rule In practically everything
except It's charter.

From Newkirk. Okla, came a mes

scription of Charles Marzyck, who IS

murder, was being detained. The man
had Geographic description of

for man who is said to fit the de-
scrlptlon of man who left some
bloody clothes at the Baker hotel here
on the night of the murder. The man
registered at the hotel as John
Smith, but officers here say he
closely resembled Marzyck. But the
sherifS search was fruitless.
One of the largest posses was led by
three brothers of William Snowman,
the head of the murdered family. In
an old fashioned carriage, drawn by a
team in work harness. they drove
many miles to the southwest OF here
in search of Marzyck. Two of them
had rifles and the other a shotgun.
This shotgun belonged to the dead
man and it was agreed that if the
suspect was sighted and was within
range, Samuel, one of the brothers,
should take the first shot at him with
Williams gun.
