So we grew to love the star and

our love and longed to be nearer. so

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Jan. 23.-In complet-
ing its work in some of the State De-
partments yesterday afternoon. the
legislative auditing committee in ses-
sion here considered some antiQuated
methods Of handling finances in Del
aware.
In certain expenditures az Farm
hurst and for other state enterprises,
no intervention OF a third official is
required in issuing checks. II was
further said that the State Treasurer
and his deputy both OF whom are uu-
der bond, are, however. given rather
unlimited rein in drawing checks so
far as the check itself.
Auditor Townsend was called in
and asked II nobody had TO counter
sign check issued by State Treas
urer or his deputy
"None that I know Of II a treasur-
er or deputy wanted to write q check
and then make a getaway. there is
no countersignature OF an Auditor or
Governor or Secretary OF State re-
quired"
The legislators asked Colonel Town
send IL the appointment or the cloth
ing OF the auditor with comptroller
powers to sign or countersign all
checks that drew state money out of
bank would remedy the apparent ir-
regularity In the state system.
The auditor replied that the comp

of dancing halls. He contended that
in the larger cities these things were
considered as the proper way to bring
about correct reforms. The appeal
Of the committee Of which he was a
member, he said, was simply an open
honest government.
Walter L. Willis, another member Of
the committee, also spoke, and said
that he did not think the league would
want the High School auditorium
more than once or twice a month, and
probably not more often than four
times a month.
Following the remarks by the Wis
itors, Mr.. Baynard, of the Ninth ward,
made the statement that something
had to be done at this time because OF
the requests which were being made
for the use OF the High School audi
torium. He explained that he had no
III will toward the Initiative and
Referendum League, but included all
organizations. He said that to light
and heat the school was a considerable
expense, and It was a question of using
the taxpayers money. He said the
High School committee had already
discussed the matter and it was only
question with them as to whether
the board should bear the expenses OF
such public meetings. He cited, for
instance. that the tariff was equally
educational as 1.-The Initiative and
Referendum question, and il might just
as we'll be discussed in the High
School auditorium. He also spoke
Of a meeting of the Wilmington High
School Alumni. which recently held
a meeting in the school auditorium te
, arrange for a dance. He said the
High School was a public centre ano
will be more so in the near future
and it was a question how much the
board will bear. He said he did mol
want to pour coldSwater on the request
of the Initiative and Referendum
League, but it was a matter D
finances that the board had to con
slider.
At this juncture Mr.. Gibney, spokes
man of the league committee, saie
that the league would abide by anl
rules the board set down. and woulS
pay the same as any other organiSa
/ tiOn for the same PRIVILEGES.
Mr.. Baynard remarked that he wat
glad Mr.. Gibney understood what h
intended to convey and added that h'
was not oppose in the least to tn
league enjoying the same privilege
as any other body using the Higl
School auditorium.
DR.. Cooper of the Third ward
voiced Mr.. Baynard's sentiments. ~
said that not only the question o
light and heat should be considered
but the janitors at the school shoul
also be given a recompense for thei
services. He said it did not appea
right to him to have these men repor
early in the morning TO have tn
school properly heated and then kee
them there until late at night, with

With a request that the Initiative
and Referendum League be permitted
10 use the auditorium Of the Whining
ton High School for public meetings to
be addressed by noted speakers, a
committee of that organization ap-
peared, before the Board OF Education
last night, and after hearing the diff
terent members of the committee. the
Board referred the matter to the High
school committee to report back t.
that body.
After hearing the committee some OF
the members of the board expressed
the opinion that such requests were
incoming numerous and that some
thing should be done relative TO the
cost Of heating and lighting, together
with janitors' services for public
meetings. w. L. Gibney, spokesman Of
Che visiting committee, informed the
members that the Initiative and Ref
erendum League was willing to abide
by any rules the board would fix and
pay the same as any other organic
Ntion enjoying similar privileges.
In introducing the subject Mr.. Glib

forum as it understood that other
bodies enjoyed that privilege. He said
the Initiative and Referendum ques-
tion was purely educational and en-

time, he naming the chambers now
used by the City Council. He contend
ed that the Initiative and Referendum
League should have the same priyi-
lege as that accorded to the Civic As
ISOLATION.
The second speaker was f. P. Kane
who spoke of the time when there
were no schools and Of the good work
being done for the cause of education
by the present Board Of Education. He
said further, that the Initiative and
Referendum League was just as non
partisan as the Board Of Education

cluded by saying that by allowing the
League the use OF the High School
auditorium that no harm would be
