Complete List Of Pictures Of
Predecessors
JUDGE CONRAD ADDS
HIS TO THE GALLERY

The walls in the Office of Postmast-
er James j. English at the local
Federal building will be decorated
with a complete picture gallery Of
every postmaster who has served at
the Wilmington Office, should the ef-
forts being made by Postmaster
English to secure that end result sue
cessfully. There are now fifteen pho
tographs out of the twenty-siX post
masters of the Office and Mr.. English,
desiring to make the collection as
complete as possible, is exerting him
self to obtain photographs of the
missing eleven postmasters.
Today Mr.. English received a splen-
did likeness of Judge Henry c. Con-
rad, who was postmaster from Janu-
ary 80, 1906, to June 2S, 1909, as
gift from Judge Conrad, who was
active in getting many photos of his
predecessors. The judge also pre-
sented the postmaster with hand
somely framed photograph of the en-
tire postofiice staff under Postmaster
Robert H. Taylor. which was taken
in 1888. AT that time there were
twenty carriers. When Mr.. Taylor
first went into office, on June is, 1886,
there we're only twelve regular car
riers attached to the Office, and in the
two years following he had increased
the number to nineteen regular and
one substitute carrier. At the pres
| ent time there are fifty-three regular
carriers and thirteen substitutes at
the Office and should the business OF
the office continue to increase as it
has in the past few years this num-
Der will be increased. An examina-
ton is now pending in the civil serv-
ice department for clerks and car
riers at the local office. October l

FOR
TENMORECOPS
FOR The CITY
Authorized by City Council,
With Request Of NOn-Par-
tiSan Appointments
PLAIN CLOTHES MAN
FOR THE CITY COURT

City Council. last evening, adopted a
resolution. authorizing the placing Of
ten additional men on the city's pay
roll, as policemen. At the same time
Councilman Weller r. Stever, chair
man of the police committee and fl
nance committee. announced he round
himself In a peculiar position. He IA
vored the addition to the police force,
but at the same time he spoke of the
increased cost, and he thought trouble
would be experienced in raising the
money. He said that as the citizens
appeared to want the extra policemen,
they should have them.
While the resolution did not state
just who we're appointed. Council in
structed Councilman Slower to request
the the police commissioners TO make
the appointments on a non-partisan
basis. In other words five of the new
officers will be Democrats and five
Republicans.
The resolution also stipulated that
one of the new officers shall be as
signed as a plain clothes man to City
I Court, this officer to be under the
control of the Judge OF the Court. and
to serve writs and warrants, and do
other work in connection of the court.
The resolution was adopted after
the Police Commissioners had read
communication requesting the ad-
lditional policemen. The Commis-
sioners explained that there should
be one officer to ever- 1000 residents,
whereas at present, with a population
close to $4,000 people, there were but
seventy-one officers available for
duty. IL is expected that the ten
officers will be selected by the Board
of Police Commissioners at their
meeting next Tuesday afternoon.
Following the adoption OF the
resolution, Councilman Hopkins, OF
1.-THE Sixth ward. spoke of the neces-
sitv of having colored policemen. He
said that he represented 10000 col
ored citizens who paid in taxes about
$500 900, and he would like to have
the race represented on the force.
Mr. Hopkins said that other cities
larger than Wilmington and even
some smaller ones have colored men
en- their police force.

Council by Tie Vote Defeated
Resolution For City to En-
gage a Sleuth
HINT AT PROBE INTO
SOME DEPARTMENTS

Declaring that Council had at
times heard rumors Of alleged wrong
doing but had failed to have such
reports verified, City Councilman
Slower last night made a motion in
Council to authorize the finance com
mittee to engage a competent detec-
tive and TO fix his salary and term
of Office The reading Of the reso-
luton caused a stir among the Coun-
cilmen. although the matter had been
discussed at a special meeting on

When the resolution came TO a
vote, however, il was lost, the vote
being six for and six against, one
member being absent. After II had
been declared lost by President
White. Councilman Stover said he
was surprised to see so many Coun-
cilmen afraid of a detective.
Il was learned that many police
men in the city had called on the
Councilmen of their wards and pro-
tested against the hiring of the de-
tective. Just what effect the detec-
tive would have with the Police De-
pal LAItMN 10 AAOI hMONm anu AOnnAAA"
man Stover last night refused to say
what the detective was to work on
if he had been engaged.
Those who claimed to be in a posi-
tion to know said that the detective
was to have been assigned to watch
ing the employees of the various city
departments. Some time ago Coun-
Gilman Stover complained about en-
ployes of the Street and Sewer De-
partment loafng on their work
When the motion was put to vote
last evening the following members
voted against it: Councilman Zim
merman, Cook, McGoldrick, Kane
Heal and Haney. Those who voted
for it were Councilmen Draper. Hop
kins. Stover, Grantland, Williams ant
White.
After the motion had been lost
Councilman Stover started to tel
what he had in mind when he intro
duced the motion. but Councilma
Haney objected. saying such an eS
PLANTATION was out of order Council
man Stover then announced that
would remain quiet until later dat
when the motion will be reconsidere
Councilman zimmerman said ,
saw no need for a detective and furtl
ermore that Council could find ol
themselves all the information the
wanted about anything.
Following the session OF Council,
was reported that certain interests
the city have had private detectiy
at work in this city for several week
investigating some city departmer
