HISTORIANS
FUND GROWS

Continued interest in the new
building of the Historical Society is'
shown by the fact that the commit
tee is in receipt from day to day OF
new subscriptions from people
throughout the State
Josiah Marvel chairman Of the
committee, said today that he was
very much pleased with the fact that
larger number OF smaller subecrlp..
tions We're coming in from people
who were not in opposition to sub
scribe large amounts, but who show
ed their interest in the movement by
subscribing the sum that they felt
able to give. Mr.. Marvel said that
il was the desire of the committee
that the building fund of the Histor-
ical Society should be made up of IA
large number Of subscriptions rather
than a smaller number of large
amounts. The purpose of the build
ing is one that should be with every
citizen, and II is desired that every
citizen participate to some amount
even though that amount be small. The
committee, therefore, invites small
subscriptions as we'll as large ones
The committee is now beginning TO
lay specific plans for the building and
today Colonel George A. Elliott, ac-
companied by Robert II. Richards,
Christopher L. Ward and Josiah Mar
vel went TO Doylestown in Colonel
Elliott's automobile to examine the
Historical Society building there.
/ They propose visits to other Histori-
cal society buildings to get the bene-
fit of the plans provided by other
societies before the final plans arc
prepared for the Delaware building.

The latest report is that a delega-

OPEN FEUD EXISTS
BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
NEW YORK, July 17.-With an
open feud existing between District
Attorney Whitman and the police au
thorities, developments of the most
sensational character in the gamb-
ling situation were imminent today.
Whitman openly charged that Her
man Rosenthal, murdered in front Of
/ the Hotel Metropole early yesterday,
was the victim of the police system.
He said fatty that he was killed not
alone to close his mouth, but the
public place was selected for the
murder so that others who might de-
sire TO "squeal" would be properly
terrorized
The police bitterly denied and re-
/ sented Whitman's characterizations
/ They insisted that Rosenthal was
killed because he talked too much
about the gambling situation and
| that he was put out of the way by the
! downtown gambling syndicate. They
said they will prove this by the ar
rest within a short time OF every one
Of Rosentha's murderers. But Whit
man is having an independent inves-
tigation made. He has positively as
serted that he will place no credence
in any case the police may furnish
him. He declared today that if the
police we're sincere they would have
arrested the murderer on the spot.
There were five policemen within
300 feet of the shooting" said Whit
man today, two within 100 feet OF
it and one within fifty Yet, five men

NEW PLAN
NOW FOR LAYING
WATER SERVICES

At a conference Of the Street and
Sewer Directors and Chief Engineer
John A. Kienle and President Will
liam w. Knox of the Water Depart
ment yesterday afternoon, the COM
plant of woman who owns prop
erty at No. 1905 Rodney street, OF
which mention was made in these
columns yesterday, was considered.
President Sparks told the water de-
partment officials that the woman
was right in making her complaint.
Each time we pave a street, he
said, we notify all other departments
and ask them to do their work at the
same time, but repeatedly the streets
have been torn up afterwards, either
by other departments, or the light or
telephone companies
The water department officials de-
cided that instead of tearing up Rod
ney street in several places, they
would run one large main through
the center of the street and a small
pipe inside the curb with which the
houses could be connected, thus max
ing it necessary to tear up few
bricks in the sidewalk when con-
nection is made. This plan was sat-
isfactory to the Street and Sewer Di-
rectOrs.
The Street and Sewer directors in
structed Secretary Christy to adver-
tise for bids for the collection of
ashes for the ensuing year. The bids
can be for a period of 1, 2, 3 or II
months from July 1.
Representatives of the manufacur-
ers Of steam and gasoline rollers
were present at the meeting and urg-
ed the merits of their respective ma
chimes. No action was taken by the
board TO buy such machines, some
of which are now being used on trial
by the department.
