ALUMNI ASKS
SCHOLARSHIP
FUND OF $l2,5OO

The scholarship committee OF the
Alumni Association of the Whining
ton High School, consisting OF n. c.
Mahafy, Jr., Charles b Palmer and
William F. OKeefe have inaugurated
a plan whereby a scholarship fund
will be established to assist graduates
Of the school to secure college
courses To assist in establishing the
fund the following letter has been
sent to all graduates Of the school
Fellow Alumus:
Since 1902 the Alumni Association
of the Wilmington High School has
annually awarded two prizes Of ten
dollars each TO students IN the
graduating class of the Wilmington
High School, one 70 the student OBJ
tanning the highest general average in
English literature, and the other TO
the student obtaining the highest
general average in the Manual Train
ing Department We think you will
agree with US that such prizes are
entirely inadequate and by no means
commensurate to what should be
awarded by our Association. COM
posed, as It now is Of many men IN
all walks of business and profession
al life; and further. that some pro-
vision should be made for the award
ing OF a more substantial prize or
prizes by the Alumni.
There have been seven hundred
and sixty-three graduates from the
Wilmington High School, beginning
with the class Of rs. Of which num-
Der your secretary has located about
five hundred. The question Of the es-
tablishment OF a scholarship fund has
been fully and very carefully consid-
cred by your scholarship committee,
and the following plan has been
adopted for the raising of funds
First. a trust agreement was en-
tered into May Is. 1918, between the
Wilmington Trust Company, as trus-
tee. and the association: this agree
ment providing. in substance, that the
trustee shall receive and invest such
sums OF money as may be from time
10 time deposited with II. collect the
income arising therefrom. and apply
the same as II may be from time 10
time directed by the association. The
trustee has agreed TO act without
compensation.
Secondly. subscription cards have
been prepared and one filled out for
each graduate who has been To-
Gated
Thirdly. as far as possible. a mem
Der OF the scholarship committee will
call upon the various graduates to
solicit subscriptions to the proposed
fund those at distance will be COM
municated with by mail
The average tuition fee at most OF
the colleges and universities is s15o
year. To provide for a Scholar
ship there should be fund of at least
s12.500 which would guarantee an
income of approximately $500 a year
thereby providing for the payment
of $3.50 each year OF the college term
Of four years.
To accomplish this end il win be
necessary that your committee re-
ceive the hearty support Of every
graduate. OF course. II is not ca
pected that each graduate will sub
scribe the same amount; some may
be small. some will be large. but II
is desired that the fund be raised by
general subscription and your cont
mittee hope that each graduate will
feel able and willing TO give some
thing. whether Il be 81 or $1,000.
We need S12,500.
We ought 10 have S12,500
We should be able TO raise s12.500

QUESTION OF LIABILITY

Following a conference between
building Inspector John J. Cassidy
Cry Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings and
William S. Hllles, the latter repre-
eenting Harry K. Thomas, owner Of
The building No. 7O7 Market street
which collapsed early yesterday morn
lng Mr.. Cassidy served notice today
on Mr.. Thomas, through his attorney
TO have the damaged building razed at
once Mr.. Hilles agreed to accept the
notice and shortly afterward the
owner of the building notified W. ID.
Haddock and Company TO raze the
building. The work Will be started
this afternoon.
Joseph Schunder, contractor for the
building which Frank S. Dure intends
TO erect on the site at No. fO5 Mar
ket street, Immediately adjoining the
Thomas building, was not present at
the conference nor was Mr.. Dure.
This morning alditiona, braces
were placed against the walls OF the
collapsed building to retain them. This
was done principally to keep the
building from falling in entirely and
to save as much Of the contents as
possible.
The question Of responsibility for
the collapse Of the Thomas Building
is still a matter for conjecture. That
the responsibility will be fixed
through a law suit eeems to be the
prevailing impression. The contractor
claims he is not to blame and Mr. Dure
also does not see how he can be neio
responsible for the damages This
leaves the cost to be borne by the col
lapse of the building up to Mr.. Thomas
who Of course makes the claim that
the fault is on those who we're oper-
ating next to his building
Building Inspector Cassidy would
not discuss the matter OF Responsible
ity today. II was said, however, that
until the building was razed It would
not be known just what did cause
the collapse. II is presumed that al
ter the structure Is razed builders
named by the parties interested Will
examine the foundation walls OF the
Thomas building and make other oD-
servations that will permit Of arriv-
ing al a fair decision. It was thought
the heavy rains of early this morn
ing would undermine the building 70
such an extent that 1t would COM
pletely collapse, despite the shorine

I'VE feel that the State of Della

tecting the citizens Of other States
from insurance corporations operat-

state OF Delaware. when IL is clear
that such corporations are FRAUDULENT.
The agents who secured the charters
for these companies and who are
placing insurance in them know that
il is Impossible for these companies
to exist for any length Of time on the
basis upon which their business is be-

They make no pretense Of paying

BRIDE FOUND GUILTY
Jury Finds Mrs. w. V. Gibbs Guilty of Disturbing Peace-COmplaint
 Against MayheW Dismissed.

The jury in Justice Radcliffe's court that heard the evidence in the trial of Mrs. w. V. Gibbs on the charge of disturbing the peace, re- turned a verdict of guilty and assessed as her punishment a fine of Sl.OO and costs.
 In order to make it easier for the woman, whose financial condition was not such as to entitle her to a very high rating in Bradstreets, the jurors did not accept their fees.
 The charge against J. w. MayheW, who was arrested at the instance or Mrs. Gibbs on the charge of grand larceny was dismissed for the lack of prosecution, the woman and her husband leaving for their home in Otis, Ark, last night.
 Mir. Mayhew was ready for trial this morning with an array of witnesses to prove his character and that he was in no manner con- nected with the alleged theft of the woman's pocketbook.
 Mrs. Gibbs was the wife of Clyde Pool. who was murdered near Fort Towson, Ok, about year ago.

INCOME FOR BUSCH
 HEIRS$l,OOOADAY
Seven Are Thus Provided While $2l0,000 Is Given to Charity August \. Busch Gets the
 BreWerieS.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 30.-Each of the heirs of the estate of Adolphus Busch who, according to the will filed here late yesterday, afe 10 have shares of the trust into which the estate is to be formed, will have an annual income of $375,000, a share, or more than $l,000 a day.
 The son, August A. Busch, who succeeds his father in the manage ment of the vast properties, is to have two shares of the trust, and his income consequently will be S75O,0OO a year, minus the provi- sion he is required to make for his invalid brother Carl.
 According to a high officer of the Busch estate corporations, the in come of the estate is estimated at $3,0O0,000, which is a 6 per cent re- turn on valuation of S50000,000. The heirs are the widow and the seven children.
 The fact that a codicil was at tached a little more than year ago exempting Lieut. Edward Scha- Ter, the husband of Wilhelmine Busch, from a fourth interest in his wife's share of the estate should she died before him, was explained today by a member of the family. The codicil was added it was stat ed, not because Adolphus Busch re- sented the marriage of his daughter to the German lieutenant, but be- cause the laws of Germany provide that a husband and wife shall share equally in any estate either shall inherit, and that the original pro- vision giving Scharer a fourth ln- terest should he survive his wife would be invalid in Germany.
 S2lO,000 for Charity.
 The three executors. Mrs. Lilly Busch. Edward A. Faust and Charles Nagel, will administer the trust es- tate, subject however, 10 certain provisions that make August A.. Busch supreme in the management of the brewery the Manufacturers Railway, the American Bottle Com pany and the Busch-Sulzer Broth ers-Diesel Engine Company.
 If a vacancy occurs among the trustees. Faust is to fill it; if va cancy among the executors, August A. Busch is to fill it. If only one trustee remains, the St. Louis Union Trust Company is to become trus- faa

Little Rock Chamber of Commerce Threatened With Disruption Over Saloon Question
 Road Work Ceases.

Little Rock, Nov. 4.-The bitter ness over the question as to whether Little Rock shall permit saloons after January 1 found expression last night in the fight which threat- ems to disrupt the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce.. After a stormy session the board of gov ernors adopted a resolution urging citizens to sign petitions to permit saloons here after January 1. Mem bers opposed to the resolution an nounced that they will demand a general meeting and endeavor to have the resolution rescinded.
 The new law provides that the county judge may not authorize the issuing of a saloon license unless he is presented with a petition asking him to do so, signed by a majority of the adult white inhabitants of the municipality or township.
 County Judge Asher last night re- turned to the state all the state con- victs sentenced from this county whom he has been employing on the highways. He said that the loss of the revenue from saloons will make it impossible to continue road improvement,
 The Little Rock Ministerial Ali ance held two meetings yesterday to consider plans for fighting saloons and will insert advertisements in the Little Rock newspapers urging citizens not to sign petitions.

SULzER CASE ID
 FEDERAL COURT
William H. Moore, Printer, Charges That New YOrk'S Government Has Passed From Hands of People
 and Is No Longer Republican.

New York, Oct. 30.-Wilham Sul- zers conviction by the high court of impeachment and his removal from office as governor of New York was thrown into the federal courts for review today by William H. Moore, a printer.
 In a remarkable petition, Moore alleges that the control of the state government has passed from the people to small group of citizens and consequently New York is no longer enjoying a republican form of government as guaranteed by the federal constitution.
 Moore seeks to have the court en- join Martin H. Glynn from exercis- ing gubernatorial functions, prays for the restoration to office of Sul- ger, attacks the assembly for arro- gating to itself power to convene in extraordinary session and pass articles of impeachment and peti- lions for an audit of state books.
 Members of the court of impeach- ment Governor Glynn, Attorney General Carmody, Secretary of State May and Sulzer are warned as defendants. Why Sulzer was made a defendant is not clear Sulzer, engaged in the height of a campaign for election to the assembly, eX- pressed surprise at the filing of the suit
 Moore disclaimed any motive for the action other than it was in spired by the fact that he was a citizen and taxpayer. The petition charges a certain group of men. consisting partly of the defendants and partly of men unnamed with having obtained control of the state, it's many officials and vast funds for their sole use and benefit.
 The complaint sets forth that the constitution of the United States is being violated in that tha govern ment of this state, Sulzer having been removed. is moi under the su- pcrvision and administration of a governor selected by the citizens of the state. This he contends, de- nies citizens a republican form of government as constitutionally granted.
 The defendants named include Governor Glvnn and all the state executive officers. together with the state senators and judges of the court of appeals. The plaintiff asks that the present administration be enioined from recognizins the de- cision of the high court of impeach- ment and that Sulzer be returned to office.
