cooperation IN a desire on the part
of that department to nave the city
extend an invitation 20 the American
Society Of Municipal Improvements to

will be held in Dallas, and the letter
set forth that the invitation should
be sent 10 the officers Of the organlza-
ton before that meeting.
The matter was referred to tho
Council as a committee OF the whole
aud Il is likely that favorable action
will be taken. II is said that at least
200 members OF the society attend
these conventions and that the meet
ings are Of little expense TO the cities
in which they are held. The members
are men OF wide experience In water
works. sewer and street construction
work. and It is thought that the new
water system here and the street paw
ing plant Of the city would be OF in
terest to the visitors. II ia
suggested that as a means Of amuse-
ment tndt the Nlbllofb cOulu ue taken

TIRED OF
BEING GOAT,
STOVER SAYS
ReSentS InSinuatlOnS That
Lack Of City Funds is
Councils Fault
BODY HAS ONLY
$1,000 FOR EMERGENCIES

City Councilman W. E. Slower took
exceptions in City Council last night
to criticisms passed upon the mem
bers of Council for most anything
and everything that seems to happen
in other city departments. He said
he was tired of being the goat" and
said he was never so fortunate as to
have some one upon whom he could
shift blame which rightfully devolved
on him.
Mr. Stoyer's remarks we're occasion
ed by newspaper articles of repC<es
Of meetings of some of the city de-
partments, in which the lack of funds
with which TO do work asked by the
public was blamed on Council.
Whenever q request Is made of
the Street and Sewer Department
that some work be done and that de-
partment is short OF funds, Council
Is blamed for not advancing the
money" said Mr.. Stover. He added
that recently when the inadequacy
of the Police Department was ques-
toned because of series OF robber-
les beyond Washington street bridge.
Counc was again blamed for not
providing funds for a larger police
department He admitted that the
police department was inadequate IN
so far as the number of men on the
orce is concerned, but Councils
hands are tied and what the solution
Of this problem would be he was un-
able to say.
"The impression created az a re-
suit of this situation IL that we are
either misers or poor financiers,
said Mr.. StoNer.
The Seventh Ward Councilman con-
tinued to explain that all the moneys
handled by Council, with the excep-
tion of about $1,000, was appropriat-
ed by law 10 the various city depart
ments and that the $1,000 really rep
resented ali that Council has avail
able for emergencies. The impress
sion seems to exist that all that any
of the city departments has 10 do, n
case they need more money, is to ap
peal to Council and get it, as though
Council had a sinking fund of any
thing from $1,000 TO $4,000 to draw
on" said Mr.. Slower He said tha
i the increases asked by the various
departments for the present uHca
year aggregated $4,000. and hs'
/ Council granted these increases il
would have been necessary to in
Z crease the tax rate from $3.50 Z
s1.65 or $40, TO meet this increase
He eaid it was unfair TO shift all tn
blame on the Councilmen.
1T appears TO me-" he added, "tha
we are the goats 20 use slang ea
preston. The Counciimen feel the
:. are doing everything possible 20 CIV
the city a good administration and
make this statement to CORES
wrong impression that has gon
abroad"
Following the meeting Mr.. Stove
said he was willing that the Polio
Department personnel should be IN
creased by forty men. but the city ha
not the money 10 make the inereas'

WITNESS IN THE
ROLL OF PRISONER

His unfamiliarity with the English
language caused Benedict Putchkus,
a --lCnuanisn, to unconsciouEly tan
.-~ % ca~e in the Court Of General
Sessions yesterday afternoon. Putch-
a. apreaIug against Ebert Pat
ton a negro, caught in the act OF
ouse Of the witness.
Another case. however, had priority
5000. onu Lnis was the reason
Tor the confusion. Benjamin Coursey,
OF Delaware City, was accused Of
carving concealed a deadly weapon,
when when his name was read, Cour-
sey was not there to respon. Putch-
kus answered in his stead, believing
he had been summoned to the witness
box to appear against Patton The
court was unaware Of the error not
knowing Coursey from Putchkus, al
though Coursey'is colored.
Putchkus. through an interpreter
pleaded not guilty 10 what he sup
posed was a charge of breaking into
his own house. The jury was drawn
supposedly to serve in the case
against Coursey, and Phillip l.. Gar
rett. acting prosecutor, started TO ex-
anime Putchkus for the Delaware City
man. Then Putchkus realized he had
twisted himself up. He untwisted
himself through the interpreter as
quickly as he could and was excused
from the box TO appear later against
Patton. as he had intended TO do.
In the case against Patton Mrs.
Elizabeth Putchkus, wife OF Benedict
testified that the negro had broken
into her husbands house, No. 1907 Z.
Eighth street in the early morning OF
September 4. Mr.. and Mrs. Putch-
kus descending on the negro in con
cert had succeeded in overpowerlng
him, but not before Patton had en-
barassed them rather severely with
his teeth.
In his own defense, Patton said he
had entered the house TO ask the male
resident for a match, and had receiv'
ed a blow that stretched him sense
less. Patton was convicted with eX-
petition, the jury not leaving the box
He was fined 500, will receive ~
lashes and will put up at the work
house for one year.
The Grand Jury yesterday visited
The Delaware Industrial School foi
Girls and when the report for the
year is made to the court the schoo
wiz come in for its full share oi
credit for the manner in which il
Is conducted.

STATE MAY ACT
TO PROTECT GIRLS

There is a possibility that before
the grand Jury adiourns some definite
action will be taken regarding the
protection of young girls here. The
attention of the jury yesterday was
drawn to i've young white girls of
tender age who are detained in the
Delaware Industrial School for Girls.
They are witnesses in the cases to be
tried at the present term Of court
for violating a statutory law.
The attention Of Attorney General
Gray has been called to the alleged
acts of white women regarding the
young girls now detained in the

Culled Fresh From the Farm
TO KEEP CHICKS HEALTHY
BE SURE TO GIVE GRIT.
n,ended by Experts of the New
York State Agricultural College

Recent experiments at the New York
State Agricultural college have dem.
onstrated that both lime and grinding
material are required, by fowls for best
results in health and production 1t is
essential, therefore. that fowls have ac-
cess to cracked oyster shells at all
times. 1t also appears to be desirable
that some other form of grit be pro-
vided and perhaps charcoal as Well
For this purpose a grit hopper large
enough to make frequent filing unnee-
sary and so constructed that it will
keep clean and not clog is required
The grit hopper shown in the illustra-
ton accomplishes these results. Its
distinguishing feature is the rounded
back, which compels a force feed. The
cost is about SD per dozen. Single
compartment hoppers will cost about
Sc per dozen.
A force feed hopper should have a
slanting cover, steep enough to pre-
vent the fowls roosting on it.
Where rats or mice are a menace a
galvanized hopper, such as that illus
trated, Is recommended. 1t is more
expensive to make than the wooden
homemade hoppers, but is more eco
nomical in the end.
