GET READY TO
FILL DISTRICT
COLLECTORSHIP

A slight cold prevented President
Wilson from seeing Senators Blair
Lee. of Maryland and Willard Sauls-
hurry. of Delaware. yesterday Both
Senators had been summoned to the
White House at the request OF the
President to talk over the appoint
ment of collector of internal rev
enue for the Maryland district, which
includes Delaware.
While no definite Information re-
garding the visit Of the two Senator's
was obtained at the White House, IL
Is understood that the President is
ready to take under immediate con-
sideration the appointment OF an lu-
ternal Revenue Collector, and 1t is
believed that before taking final ac-
tiOn Mr.. Wilson wants TO have "A last
consultation with the two Senators
most interested
The entire Maryland delegation
has recommended for the appoint
ment william II. Bryan, of Baltimore.
The two Democratic members OF the
Delaware delegation IN Congress are
behind Alfred Raughley. of Kent
county. Delaware These are the
only two candidates in the field. Mr..
Raughley Is a personal friend OF
Senator salisbury
An interesting report in connection
with the fight for collector of inter-
nal revenue came from Washington
today to the effect that while the
MARYLAND delegation had endorsed
Mr.. Bryan for the collectorship, Sen
ator Lee. of that State, practically
had gotten from under Bryan and
was advocating another prominent
Maryland Democrat whom he thought
would have much better chance
than Bryan OF receiving the appoint
ment II such a report should prove
true. il would better the chances OF
Senator salisbury landing the plum
for Afr. Raughley, whose home is al
Harrington, Del. The report that
Senator Lee was not supporting
Bryan was heard by some Della
waroans in Washington yesterday

''PHONY" FIVE
SPOTS TURN UP
TN WILMINGTON

Local banks and merchants are on the
lookout for counterfeit five dollar bills
OF the series OF 1892 The counterfeits
are considered good and while printed
on thin paper, the Workmanship ON the
note is very good.
One Of the notes was received today
by local business man. II appeared
as If printed on paper that had been
bleaehed. The note has the appearance
OF being elongated and the white mar
Gin at the top OF the note is smaller
than that ON a genuine note.
As secret service agents were IN tins
city several weeks ago investigating the
passing OF bogus coins and the five dot
lar notes. it is thought the place ot
manufacture is not far from this city.
