COURT TO DECIDE
BOULEVARD LAW.

Governor Simeon S. Pennewill, in a
letter sent to the judges of the State
bench this week, requests them to give
him an opinion on the constitutionality
of the Boulevard Corporations Law OF
the State, at their earliest convenience.
The Governors letter to the judges is
as follows:
Wilmington, Del, April 2, 1912.
Hon. Chas. NJ. Curtis, Chancellor.
Hon. James Pennewill, Chief Justice.
Hon. William H. Boyce.
Hon. Henry C. Conrad.
Hon. Victor B. Woolley.
Hon. Herbert H. Rice.
Gentlemen II have been requested
to call the General Assembly of this
State together in extra session for the
purpose of considering and acting upon
certain proposed amendments to what
is known as the Boulevard Law of this
State. The same being an amendment
to the General Corporation Law of this
State which was adopted by the last
Session of the General Assembly. l en-
close you herewith copy of said law.
1t has been brought to my attention
from a number of sources that the con
stitutionality of said Boulevard Law
has been questioned. Unless the Act
is constitutional, it would be entirely
futile for me to summon an extra ses-
sion of the General Assembly for the
purpose of passing amendments to it
and by so doing feel l might be
merely mourning useless expense for
the State.
For the purpose of public information,
and to enable me to discharge !
the duties of my Office with fidelity, l do .
hereby require that you give me your |
opinions in writing touching the consti-
of the said amendment to
the General Corporation Law passed by
the last session of the General Assem-
bly, as before said and commonly known
As the Boulevard Law. 1t is quite es-
jential that l should receive this infor-
nation at the earliest possible date and
therefore respectfully request that
you furnish same so soon as possible.
beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
SIMEON S. PENNEWILL, Governor

WILL SEE MILLIONS BURN
Miss Louise Lester First
Woman to Hold I'm
portant Post.

Miss Louise Lester Of Prince Georges
county. Md, today took the oath Of Of
fee as special witness for the people Of
the United States upon the committee for
the destruction Of old paper currency.
She is the first woman ever appointed to
this position and was selected by Sec
rotary MacVeagh because he was conf
dent a woman could discharge the duties
as satisfactorily as a man. This commit
tee goes to the bureau Of engraving and
printing each day and witnesses the de-
struction of millions Of national bank
notes. silver and gold certificates and
United States notes. There are six men,
be,s Of the committee, one from each Of
the Offices Of the Treasury interested, and
Miss Lester.
In the present fiscal year the total de-
struction will reach over $425, 600, 900 ma
tional bank notes, and $500, coo, 600 gov
eminent paper notes. The notes are mac
Grated. but 1t is necessary to witness
their destruction to prevent thefts or re-
turn to circulation.
There was some fear that a woman
would not be able to hold her own on the
committee, but Secretary Macveagh, who
has shown that he desires to give women
equal show with men whenever he can
do so, has no doubt of the wisdom of his
appointment, and Miss Lester says that
she will do her work and ask no favors.

the state to President Taft, and Mon

Senator Dixon at the primaries was re-
