MAY ABOLISH
THE TURNPIKES
Levy Court COnferS With
Companies Officers About
Buying the Roads

Looking toward the county purchas-
ing turnpikes and making them free
roads, there was conference this
morning between members Of the
Levy Court and directors of the Phil
adelphia and Concord turnpikes.
Messrs. Elliot, Thompson, Perkins,
and Dennison and Attorney Philip l..
Garret represented the Levy Court
Former overnor Preston Lea and
William Poole represented the turn
pike companies. The. conference last
ed about twenty minutes and another
conference will be held next week to
try TO agree on a satisfactory price.
The Levy Court contemplates pur-
chasing the Philadelphia and Concord
turnpikes. In this way the toll gates
could be abolished and the roads
would be free to travel.
Under the law passed by the recent
Legislature the turnpikes can be con-
demned and taken over by the Levy
Court for the use of the county, pro-
vided the owners are paid a fair value
for the roads so taken.
The complaints against toll roads
have been so persistent that the Levy
Court decided to take action to ac-
quire the turnpikes.

MANY NEW LAWS WILL 90
INTO EFFECT TOMORROW

Tomorrow, the first day Of June,
several important measures passed
by the last Legislature will become
operative. Among these are the new
State law under which a dealer in
firearms, deadly weapons and cart
ridges of any kind. must pay IL
cense of $25 per year. 1t requires an
accurate record of name and descrip-
tion of purchasers of firearms to be
kept by the dealer
The law regulating the payment of
a license for hucksters and peddlers
will also take effect then. BY it the
huckster's license is reduced from
$50 to SIS for a single team. The foot
peddler is required TO pay $25 instead
of $50. He can operate a wagon with
one horse for the same price, but II
required to pay $40 for each addition
al horse to the one wagon.
This law only affects New Castle
county and the county furnishes tags
for the wagons and badges for the
peddlers. The wagon tags this year
will be Sx5 inches and contain three
inch red letters. The color of the let
ters Will be changed each year so that
it can be distinguished from a dis
tance whether the huckster or ped
dler has his proper license.

BOATS CAPSTzE
DURING RACE
I. W. Ashley and Joseph M.
PuSey We're Tossed Into
the Delaware River

An exciting feature of the Whining
ton Yacht Clubs Memorial Day regatta
yesterday was the capsizing of two Of
the Glass X sailing dories just north
of the clubs grounds at Gordon
Heights on the Delaware River. The
boats were bowling along nicely when
a sudden squall turned them over.
From the shore 1t looked as if the
occupants who were thrown into the
river, were going to be drowned, but
they were good swimmers and kept
their presence of mind; clinging to
the upturned dories until picked up
by launches a few minutes later.
T. w. Ashley occupied one of the
boats and Joseph NJ. Pusey the other.
The accident rather added zest to the
days program. The motor boats were
not long in going to the rescue of the
sailors.

DIAz TO START
FOR SPAIN
Exlled From Mexico Which He
Had Ruled for Third Of
Century
WILL CONFER WITH
GEN. REYES AT HAVANA
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
VERA CRUZ, May 31.-Unhonored
and unmourned, his departure wit
messed by only handful of the loyal
supporters who have not already
clambored upon the Madero band
wagon, General Porfirio Diaz will sail
today on the steamer Ypirango for
Havana, whence he goes to Spain, an
exile from the country over which he
ruled for a third of a century.
Surrounded by some twenty officers
of his personal staff who have resign
ed from the Mexican army to accom-
pany him into exile, General Diaz and
his family were escorted to the steam
ship docks by detachment of troops
from the local garrison. There was
no demonstration in the streets and
the guards had been dispensed with,
but because of recent reports Of a
plot against Diaz' life, General Huerta
in command took no chances.
Diaz would have remained in Mexi-
co City and taken his chances, but
the importuning Of his family caused
him to leave.
Some of the anti-Diaz leaders are
fearful of the result of a conference
between Diaz and General Reyes in
Havana. They say that a combina-
tion may be formed between Dias and
Reyes and Limantour who is still in
Mexico City, whereby one of their own
clique can be elected President at the
coming election. This view is not en-
tertained by close friends Of Diaz,
who say that he is through with
J politics.

Drunken Mans Act Of DeSeCra-
tiOn at House on East

ONE ARRESTED PROVES
HE WAS NOT TIE VANDAL

There is a man in Wilmington, who
has no respect for the dead. and
whom the local police would like 10
capture. While celebrating Memorial
Day yesterday, in manner peculiar
to himself, he approached a house at
No. COG East Third street and tore
Grape from the door, throwing It to
the gutter.
John Smith, a Polander. was ar
raigned in the Municipal Court this
morning, suspected OF being the desc
crater of the house of sorrow, but he
proved that Il was not him. but
member of a party of which he was
one, who did II.
According to eye witnesses six men
came along the street, in a drunken
condition, and when they arrived op-
posite the house one OF them ran 70
the door and tore off the crepe throw
| ing II into the street. He disappeared
as soon as he had done IL.
A Polish woman, neighbor to the
house where death had visited, de-
scribed the tearing of of the crepe
and was sure that John Smith was
not the man who did II.
Smith, through Interpreter Emory.
told the court that he and two friends
were in a saloon drinking, when an
other man of the same nationality
came in and got something to drink.
When they left the stranger went
with them and stole the funeral crepe
from the door. None of the witnesses
knew the mans name. but all agreed
that he had come from Chester &C
Wilmington recently.

ELOPERS TRIED
TO GET LICENSE
Reading Couple Gone When
Police We're Notified Of
Their Presence

It developed today that Howard P.
Rutgers and a Miss Wessler, both of
Reading, Pa, for whom the local po-
lice had been notified to look out, on
the ground that they were elopers,
were in Wilmington yesterday. 1t is
not believed, however, that they were
married
When Chief of Police Black received
word concerning the elopers from the
Reading police, he Immediately asked
all magistrates and the Clerk of Peace
office at the Court House not to issue q
marriage license to the couple, and tc
notify the police in event the couple
applied for a license.
Yesterday afternoon Rutgers ap-
piled to Magistrate Gluckman for Ii.
cense and as soon as he announced the
name the magistrate asked him his
age. He said he would be 21 years ol
age today and using that as subter'
fuge, the justice of peace told him h'
would have to wait until today. AS
soon as the young man left the Office
the magistrate said he attempted L
call the police station by telephone bu
the telephones were busy and It wal
perhaps several minutes before he go
word to the police. When the latter ar
rived at the magistrates Office th'
young man and his prospective brid'
had disappeared.
Rutgers is 20 years of age and tn
girl one year his junior. 1t is no
thought that the couple obtained Ii
cense or were married here.

INSPECTOR HEALY
AT MILK SHOW

Milk Inspector Sylvester Healy has
been attending the free milk exhibit
held in Philadelphia, under the
auspices of the Philadelphia Milk Ex-
change, and says he gained valuable
information concerning milk, which
will be of great assistance to him in
properly fulfilling his duties as milk
inspector. He witnessed tests of
milk to learn the quantity of bacteria,
butter fat, etc, contained therein, and
also saw several demonstrations Of
the action of preservatives in milk.
Mr.. Healy said the object of the ex-
hibit was to introduce methods by
which the farmer and dealer can keep
milk at an even temperature and de-
liver it in good shape to the con-
sumer.
He said that there seems to be an
impression that pasteurized milk is
not good. but it was demonstrated
that it is. Milk brought to a boil
while it kills the butter fat, will keel
the milk sweet and for that reason
he believes this method of keeping
milk is good.

STILL PILE UP
THE CITY DEBT
Chairman Kane Borrowed $780,
600 More Monday, Giving
Appearance Of Balance"
$SO,OOO BORROWED
AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH

When Chairman James Kane, of the
finance committee and Democratic
leader of that body, yesterday an
nounced that the city had $4,000 in
bank, he evidently forgot TO announce
that $4,000 of this had been borrow
ed the day before from the Union Ma
tional Bank. This $4,000 certainly
did give the there is no deficit" ad-
ministration a big boost financially
for part of a day until it became
known that IL was borrowed money,
and that it is I'm addition to the $780,
600 borrowed a month previously by
the Democratic Council. This makes
$4,000 borrow in a month to meet
expenses, and it will be insufficient.
This borrowed $4,000 will not pay
all the obligations of the present Ad-
ministration by any means, as an ex-
animation of the city's finances to-
day revealed.
This latest attempt of Mr.. Kane to
try to make it appear that the pres
9pt Council is in good financial shape.
when as a matter Of fact It is in the
worst financial condition of any ad-
ministration for years and years. to-
day proved a boomerang to the finan-
cial jugglers, was laughed at on many
sides.
It is regarded as a last effort but
one to try to bolster up the tottering
financial showing and the last effort
is expected to come when the city gets
the proceeds of the sale of 1895 900
of bonds. Then an effort will be made
by the Democratic financiers of
Council to apply some of the bond
proceeds to meeting the Councils big
deficit, but it is likely that the Re
publicans will resist this scheme and
will insist on the bond proceeds being
applied for the specific purposes for
which the bonds were sold.
True Situation.
The true situation regarding the
city's finances is shown by the books
in the City Treasurer's office. On
