STREET CAR
PASSENGERS
WADE In SNOW

Much grumbling is heard from pa
irons of the street cars because OF the
"near-side' stopping OF the cars
since the snowfall of the day before
Christmas In most instances the
rear end of the cars Is surrounded by
snow or slush. into which the pas
senger boarding or leaving the car
by the rear steps must walk. This
has caused many TO complain of the
"near-side" rule. as under the old
method OF stopping cars the rear
steps generally were opposite a
cleared passageway
Some of the motormen and con-
ductors, however. have been opening
the front doors of their cars for the
convenience of passengers and thus
have spared them the annoyance and
discomfort of wading through piles
of snow TO or from the car steps
which must be done n the rear steps
only are used when "near-side" stops
are made

FAVOR $500
LICENSE FEE
ON SALOONS

The State Revenue and Taxation
Commission at a meeting here this
morning decided to incorporate into
the acts to be presented to the Gener-
al Assembly a recommendation OF in
crease IN the special license law for
the sale OF intoxicating liquors. The
present law permits quantities OF
liquors less than one quart to be taken
of saloon premises on payment of
license Of S25 The recommendation
Is that the future state license be
5000. with the privileve OF selling
quantities less then three and a half
gallons. Under the proposed law
saloon keepers would pay an annual
license Of $500. $500 for the retail
license and 5000 for the special privi-
lege. OF course the United States
Revenue license would be added.
The Commission decided to allow
the present licepse fee of $500 for
inns or tayerns to remain the same
as heretofore. Under the proposed
law one half OF the money raised from
the special licenses would so 10 the
City and one half TO the State and
where the license Is granted I'm the
rural County. the Levy Court would
receive one half and the state a like
amount
with the increasing OF the special
or kettle and bottle license and also
the licensing of clubs, the commits
slon's recommendations If enacted
would mean a larger increase in the
States Revenue. When adjournment
was taken today. il was with the un-
derstanding that a meeting be held
next Tuesday when the full report OF
the Commission will be considered
preparatory TO its presentation to the
Legislature.

Draught Before Meal Comes
CARBOLIC ACID MAY
HAVE BEEN In FLASK

After ordering breakfast Of two
fried eggs at John Knotts' restau-
rant shortly after a o'clock this morn
ing Robert KiIlinger, aged 81 years,
who lodged at No. 124 King street,
swallowed the contents Of half-pint
whiskey flask which is supposed TO
have contained carbolic acid He was
hurried to the Delaware Hospital in
the Phoenix ambulance but died on
the way and the body was then re-
moved to the morgue. The empty
whiskey flask was turned over to
Coroner James r. Chandler. The
odor coming from the few drops Of
liquid that remained in the bottle is
that OF carbolic acid or some pre-
paration of which it was the princi-
pal ingredient.
Employees Of the restaurant say
that they had noticed the bottle sit
ting I'm one corner behind the coun-
ter near the stove since yesterday
afternoon, but did not know whar it
contained How il came to be there
they said they did not know.
When Killinger entered the res
taurant This morning he ordered two
fried eggs and then sat down in a
chair in front of the stove and in
such a position that his eyes came
within easy range OF the bottle sit
ting on the floor When the cOlored
cook left to prepare the eggs Killin-
ger must have picked up the bottle
and drained its contents. perhaps
thinking it was whiskey. After swal-
lowing the poison Killinger shouted
What was in that bottle" and fell
over unconscious How the bottle
came to be in the place is what the
employees of the restaurant do not
know, but two of them admitted seeing
Il there yesterday afternoon.
killinger was about 81 years OLD
and had been employed for a number
of years by the Wilmington Mallea-
bic Iron Company. He lodged at th'
King street house and ate most oi
his meals at Knotts'.

vestigated the case is inclined to be-
lieye that the affair was an accident

known brand Of whiskey
