WILL SUE FOR
DAMAGED TREES

Howell S. England will lodge
complaint with the Holly Oak Pro-
tectivo Association and make an in
vestigation regarding the mutilation
of trees near Silverside Station. Early
yesterday morning men drove up to
a point in front of the residence Of
Mr. England in Brandywine hundred
and cut a limb from an ash tree.
When Mrs. England objected the men
became impertinent and said they had
been given permission by the Levy
Court to cut the tree. The men were
informed that the tree was on pri-
vate property and they had no au-
thority to trespass and damage the
property. They then went across the
road and cut limbs off trees on the
Samuel n. Trump property. The men
did not go on the Mousley property.
Mrs. MOusley declared today that she
would have prevented them with her
shot gun. Trees on the Trump pro-
/ perty we're so mutilated that they are
now practically useless for shade.
Mr.. England said today detectives
will be employed to find who the men
were who cut the trees "They were
well equipped for the work" Mr.. Eng
land said, "and were not telephone
imen I cannot believe the Levy
Court ordered these men TO damage
our trees. They damaged the ash
land cherry trees on my property,
which will take years to replace. They
have been growing there for thirty
Years, and to have them damaged in
this way is an outrage. / will bring
lsUit for damages
County Engineer Wilson's clerk
said today that so far as he is aware
no one has been authorized to cut
the trees. Nothing regarding such
damage to property has come before
the Levy Court.

ployes employed in the State of Della
ware" the complete text of the new
law is printed herewith.
1t is generally known as the ten
tour law" and was prepared by the
Consumers League and was intro
1uced in the Legislature by Represen-
native Mooney.
The new law goes into effect on July
/, and Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis
has appointed Miss Mary Malone as

MAY LOSE
FIGHT FOR
CITY PORT
In All Probability Office Will
be Merged With PhiIa-
delphia on July |
EOUSE WILL NOT
ACT ON THE BILL

From indications It appears that
Wilmington is about to lose it's in
dividuality as a port, and beginning
July 1, will become part of the port
of Philadelphia. On that date the
reorganization of customs districts,
plan approved by President Taft
becomes effective unless the House
at Washington concurs in the bill
passed by the Senate providing
postponment of the time the plan
goes into effect until January 1. SO
far there is little indication that the
bill will be reported out of the House
committee and as only few days re-
main before July 1 It appears as
though the order will go into effect
as originally contemplated. Il Is said
that Oscar w. Underwood floor leader
in the House is opposed to any post
ponement.
I Congressman Brockson Is quoted
as saying that the outlook was dark
for the House to take favorable
action on the Senate bill. He said
the Democratic members of that body
are adhering rigidly to the policy of
acting on no bills other than the
tariff bill
When the order goes into effect the
office held by the collector of port
/ here will be no more. The incum-
bent is Harry Raymond, of Dover.
His term expires on February 1 Of
next year He said today that he had
received no official personal notifica-
tion from Washington or from the
Collector of Port of Philadelphia re-
lative to the office. Instructions have
been received from Washington, how
ever, setting forth the details of the
new order of things. Special Deputy
Jones who lives in Townsend, and
represents the collector in the lat.
ter's absence, also says he has re-
ceived no information concerning
/ himself or any of the other deputies
in the Office Whether he Is to b,
deputy collector and local represent
ative OF the Philadelphia Collector o
Port he could not say. AS all threl
deputies in the Customs House ar
under civil service rules there Is ~
likelihood of any of them being re
moved from Office The others ar

ct Her Carry Out Threats.

The sex factor what constitutes an
undesirable alien and the influence OF
Mrs Pankhurst's threats are discussed
in straight-from-the- manner
by the Bath Times. The Times was
against admitting her to this country:
The exclusion of Mrs. Pankhurst by
the immigration authorities seems to
meet with general approval though. the
President is reported to be inclined 10
admit her lest her exclusion seem an IN
fringement of the right OF free speech.
This however, is no matter OF Tree
speech. but an enforcement OF law Inc
law excludes from this country as I'M
desirable aliens imprisoned abroad for
an offcnse involving moral turpltuae.
Mrs Pankhurst has been imprisoned Tor
arson and various other crimes, lnclud-
ing Indictment to riot, we believe. she is
known to be engaged continually IN IN
citing the women of England to destroy
property, resist the authorities, ana the
news that her followers are practising
with firearms suggests that she would
countenance ii not actually advise even
tbloodshed Surely moro dangerous
character has ever knocked at the gates
of this country Were she a man instead
of a woman, there would not De tne
slightest question. That she is Wo
more insidious. Yesterday she threat
ened hunger strike if deported, doubt
less with the expectation OF arouslns
sympathy in quarters where 1t Wouia
advance her purposes. 1t surely should
not influence our level headed ofnclalS
If Mrs. Pankhurst chooses to commit
suicide that certainly is no concern OIL
count for Mrs. Pankhurst to settle with
her Maker
