COUNCIL IN POLICE MIDDLE
Wilmington Body Opposes Plan to
Name Mounted Squad.

WILMINGTON, Del. Sept. 25.-Dis-
pleased over the manner in which the
Police Commission recently appointed
eight members of the local police force
for mounted squad. City Council last
night talked over a resolution resembling
the one allowing the appointment of the
men and providing $4,000 appropriated to
increase the pay of the present men
Action was postponed for two weeks
or the eight men appointed TO positions
four failed in physical examina lions.
Members OF the Police Commission de-
clare 1t is now too late for Council to
stop them, and President William III.
Bowers says that as soon as suitable
men are found they will be put on duty.
Since there was a clash over the man
ner In which the men were appointed
some members of Council have tried 10
block the whole affair. 1t Is not expected
that the Police Commission will pay any
attention to the resolution pending i'm
Council and will have the men appointed
and on duty before the resolution is acted
upon. Some Councilmen are unwilling 10
vote for Increase in the pay of the police
force because. they say the force was in
because 1t failed TO quel the
recent race riots until the militia was
called out.

WIFE IN COLLUSION,
SAYS DITSON, TO GET
DIVORCE EVIDENCE
Wealthy Clubman's S Answer
Disregarded by Court,
Who Awards Alimony
and Counsel Fees.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Under ruling
handed down by Justice Jaycox, Of the
Supreme Court in Brooklyn Mrs. Esther
Ditson, of Cedarhurst L. l.. wife Of
James Ditson, a wealthy clubman Of
New York and Washington, has been
granted $3.50 a month alimony and $1,000
counsel fees pending final settlement OF
her divorce suit. The order was granted
despite Ditson's affidavit alleging that 1t
was arranged between him and his wife
that he would enter hotel with woman
and give evidence upon which to base
divorce suit.
Diston spends much of his time In ex-
elusive social circles in Washington and
Is a frequent visitor to Philadelphia. He
Is a member of the Chevy Chase and
Metropolitan Clubs. OF Washington, and
is heir under the will Of his millionaire
grandfather, oliver Diston, of Washing
ton. He is a nephew of Charles H. Dis
ton, music publisher of No. East 34th
street, this city. The Distons were mar
rled in 1909. Mrs Dlston first heard the
stories that induced her to watch her
husband when they were living in WASH
lngton.
Diston's affidavit, admitting collusion
with the alleged knowledge and consent
of Mrs. Diston, came unexpectedly in
answer to her divorce suit. In his affi-
davit he said it was arranged between
himself and his wife that he would pro-
vide the necessary evidence
He says that when Mrs. Dtson's de-
tectives entered the room in a York hotel
here one evening last May and found him
with a woman. even the detectives were
ignorant of the plot known only to him
self and wife. So secret did he keep the
facts in the case, Ditson swears, that he
did not inform his lawyer. Gilbert L. Roe.
and permitted him to put in an unverlfied
answer denying Mrs. Ditson's charges.
Roe told Justice Jaycox that he was
unable to say whether or not collusion
would be used as a defense in the suit.
Roe added he had advised Ditson OF his
intention to withdraw from the case.
Counsel for Mrs. Ditson asked permis-
sion to file an affidavit denying there had
been collusion.
