new LIBRARY
FOR The CITY
SEEMS CERTAIN
Managers See Proposed Plan
and Talk Of Finances NeCeS-
Sary For Project
SITES ARE SUGGESTED
FOR THE BUILDING

Plans for new library building cost.
ing at least 100000 were talked over
last night at the meeting Of the Board
Of Managers of the Wilmington Free In
stitute Library, and it is said that in
a short time campaign will be started
to raise funds for the building and its
maintenance. The project has gone so
far that two sketches of proposed H.
brary were presented at the meeting by
John J. Raslob. It is understood that
Mr. RaslSob had the sketches prepared
when the new library was under consid-
Ieration some time ago.
Both sketches provide for buildings
costing at least 100000. One sketch
is of q building along classic lines of
white stone and very artistic in appear
Iance. 1t sole use would be for hous-
ing the library. The other sketch pro-
vides for a building with store rooms.
The matter of sites was talked over.
but nothing definite was decided upon.
1t is understood that the plot of ground
between Market and King streets on
Tenth street, and occupying part of the
ground owned by the First Presbyterian
Church cemetery. is being considered as a
site for the building, which if built there
win be one of massive appearance. en-
tirely in keeping with the new city and
county building. It Is known that Mr.
Raskob had plans prepared for a build
ing to be erected on this site. Other
sites which viii be considered are tho
Winchester property, at Eleventh and
] - md hn
erty, at Eleventh and Washington
streets.
MIR. Raskob appeared before the board
personally last night and offered TO as
sist them in securing a new building. lt
IS his idea to establish a center at
Tenth and Market streets.
OF course TO build such a build
| ing. and 10 maintain it. the library as
sociation will have to have funds, and
this was the main topic discussed at
the meeting, as it has already beer
] decided that a new library should bg
built The building now occupied by
the library is estimated TO be wortl
100000. IL could be sold and tn
proceeds applied toward the erection
of a new building, but a site viii hav
to be purchased and provision mad
for the maintenance of the library
AT the present time the proceeds fror
the rent of the Market street buildin
go towards the maintenance, whic
amounts to about S24, 900 a year, bu
of course, if the building is sold som
provision will have to be made &
keep up this fund
II was proposed last night to sci
! the present building. and to start
/ campaign for an endowment fund
similar TO the campaign of tho Del
aware Hospital for 100000 last year
! lust what amount of money will be
necessary is not known, nor has this
method Of raising money been decided
upon
The board Of managers will hold
another meeting sometime this week.
/ when a decision will be reached.

NON SUPPORT
In THIS CASE
TANCLES JUDGE

Thomas Elliott, who pleaded guilty to
the charge of non support in City Court
yesterday and whose case was contin-
ued until this morning, was represented
by James Salisbury when court conven-
ed today Mr.. Salisbury asked that the
plea be changed and after this was done
Assistant City Solicitor John i. Lynn
read some information that Court Off
Ger Green had gathered at the Court
House yesterday at the orders of the
court. This was to the effect that FL
lott had been granted a divorce from
his wife, Mrs. Viola ID. Elliott. on the
grounds OF desertion. One year before
the final papers had been granted in
January of this year. Elliott had been
ordered by the Court Of General Ses-
sions TO pay So a month for the sup
port of his wife. The name of the child
was not mentioned in the divorce papers
nor in the non-support action brought
by the wife.
! After this information had been given
Mr. Salisbury asked that the case be
dismissed, saying that as Mrs Elliott
had not defended the divorce proceed
ings when il was claimed she had de-
serted her husband and took their six
year old child. she should be held lia-
BILE for its support now. Mr. Salisbury
also inthmated that the order of the
court compelling Elliott to pay his wife
- month after action had been
brought by him for divorce which
was not opposed. was wrong. Judge
Ohurchman said he was not concerned
with that phase of the question
Judge Churchman said it was the first
case OF the kind brought under the new
act, and in order to hear argument as
to whether the father or mother were
liable, the case was continued until
next Wednesday morning.

EXPECT ELECTION TO BE FARCE,

BY The United Press
WASHINTON. Oct. 22-The Mexican
elections next Sunday are to be a
farce. This is expected both at the
State Department and in administra-
tion circles. But in holding them.
President Huerta has added to the
danger to all foreigners in the south
ern republic. Because of this there is
grave apprehension in oficialdom
here. Il is feared that the announce
ment that there has been no choice
and that Huerta will continue as
provisional president" and absolute
dictator, will precipitate demonstra-
tions that may call for immediate ac-
ton by the United States.
With five candidates in the field for
the presidency, it is believed no one
can receive a constitutional majority.
And there is little doubt here that
as soon as this is demonstrated,
Huerta will take further steps to
emphasize his control of the govern
ment. After that the officials here
say anything may happen and they
intend to be prepared for every con-
tingency.
Confidential reports from Mexican
'cities show that in the last week more
Americans fed Mexico than during
any similar period since the first Ma
'dero outbreak.

WOULD KEEP
DIAz OUT OF
MEXICO NOW
Huerta Agents Fear His Pres
enCe Before Sunday Would
Bring National Calamity
MAY BE TROUBLE WHEN
HE LANDS AT VERA CRUZ
By The United Press.


VERA CRUZ, Mex, Oct. 22-Gener-
al Felix Diaz arrived here today
from Havana aboard the German
steamship Corcovado. A silent crowd
greeted him at the pier, because of
the popular impression that Huerta
had ordred the soldiers to fire on
too noisy demonstrators.
An air of suppressed excitement
lpervaded the whole city as the Cor
covado drew into the harbor. Diaz
did not land Immediately. II was said
that he did not know when he would
land. Up to the moment that the
steamship came to her quay, Huerta
agents who boarded her from the
Mexican gunboat zaragoza continued
their efforts to persuade Diaz not to
land in Mexico. They passed their
lpersuasions on the argument that his
failure to land until after Sunday
would greatly sipnlifv the elections
and perhaps avert a national crisis.
The German battleship Bertha, de-
spatched to Mexican waters to pro-
tect German interests, arrived off
Vera Cruz simultaneously with the
| Corcovado. The warship entered the
harbor with the passenger boat, but
remained OF the quay. The Zara-
gpza met the Corcovado last night.
five miles of Vera Cruz and General
Manuel Vidaurrazaga, private secre-
retary to General Banquet, former
war minister and Huerta's candidate
for vice-president, boarded the ves-
sci. He had a conference with Diaz
lasting several hours, in which he en-
deavored to obtain the warriors
promise not to land, but Diaz refused
% agree.
Again today, before the steamer
docked, efforts were made to dissuade
Diaz from entering Mexico before the
elections. but they we're futile. Diaz
refused TO make any promises or to
give indication of his probable ac-
tions. The entire city was vigilant-
| ly policed and Federal soldiers were
TO be seen everywhere. Their pres
ence dampened the ardor of the Diaz-
istas TO a considerable extent.
IL was the general impression
among the people that many politi-
cal arrests would be made I'm Vera
Cruz during the day. The situation
was tense. filled with grayest posi-
] bilities Of peril. -Diaz adherepts were
confident that their chief would land
and yet they feared trouble when he
should set foot on shore.
After his vain pleadings with Diaz
! General Vidaurrazaga left the Cor
I covada and went TO military head
quarters for a conference with the
military commander of Vera Cruz
I and IN communicate with General
/ Huerta in Mexico City.

HUERTA ADHEA-NTs ELATED.

BY The United Press.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 22-Huerta ad-

ish minister, which they construed as an
endorsement of General Huerta and his
acts. With the election four days away,
the advisors of the dictator are seizmg
upon everything that c~n possibly tend
to strengthen Huerta with the people.
Foreigners believe that Sunday's vote
will be very light, and with Huertas
Federal soldiers i'm control of the cleo
tion machinery, it is hard to guess what
will happen.
The British diplomat denied that he
had made any representations to his
government regarding foreign interven-
tion in Mexico, but intimated that he
opposed any such action.
