BURIAL GROUNDS
TO Be REMOVED
Council and Church Officials
Get Together on the
Project
BODIES TO REST
OUTSIDE CITY

The scheme to beautify that section
of the city along Union street from
Lancaster avenue to Fourth street by
the removal of the two colored ceme-
teries in Union street between Lam
caster avenue and Third street, is
about to be adopted by the city. The
subject was considered by City Coun-
Gil last night, when a delegation OF
members of the African Union
Church conferred with Council as a
committee of the whole The church
people have an agreement with the
WoOdlawn Improvement Company
whereby they will transfer the lands
to the Woodlawn Company and in re-
turn they will, receive plot OF
ground beyond the city limits and the
bodies will be removed and the mark
ers and headstones will be reset in
the new burial plot.
There was only one obstacle in the
consummatiOn of this transfer OF
property, and that was sewer lien
the city holds against the land. The
church people had appealed to the
Street and Sewer Department to can
eel this lien in order that the transfer
/ to the Woodlawn Company might be
made. All moneys from sewer liens
are turned over to City Council.
In view of this fact the department.
referred the delegation to City Council
with "A recommendation that the request
for cancellation of the sewer lien he
granted. Council discussed the subject
last night. and it was finally decided to
agree to the cancellation because the
city for several years has been anxious
to have the burying grounds removed.
II is understood that the Woodiawn
Company intends to deed most Of the
property to the city SO that it can he
used for an extension of the Grant ave-
nue. boulevard down to Front street. II
is understood further that any portion
of the land not used for street purposes
will have the burden of the sewer lien

DON'T Dance? then YOU'RE
Lonesome These DAYS

Can you trip the light fantastic
toe? No? Then you had better get
busy, for "everybody's doing it," old,
young and middle-aged are all vying
with one another in trying to get on
to the new steps, and so if you don't
know how to fox trot, maxixe, lulu
fado or tango you might just as we'll
sit on your feet and try not to look
unhappy when they go to sleep.
The dance craze, which is world
wide, has lost nothing in fervor here
in Wilmington and one never goes
anywhere these days that dancing
isn't the main feature of diversion.
There are no staid functions any
more where dignity and formality
are the issues of the day: instead,
no sooner does one pay his or her
respects to the hostess of tbs occa-
sion than the music is started furni-
ture pushed into the background,
rugs ruthlessly thrown aside and the
craze for dancing INDUCED in to ones
hearts content
And so, perhaps never in the his
tory of the city, have there been so
many dancing classes in evidence,
prominent among which are Miss
Kate McClafferty's. Miss McClafferty,
whose studio is in Pythian Castle,
has classes for children each after
noon, classes for the young girls
and men in the evening and on Sat
urday morning she instructs a class
in which there are women as well as
children.
All the dances which Miss McClaiferty
1 teaches have been standardized, and not
only are the children taught the new
steps, but they receive instruction II

Club meets. Other nights in the weel
are devoted to various classes. Mr..

and Miss Alice Stevenson Platt chal
erones all the other afternoon classes.
Il is interesting to note that con
gress of dancing instructors has bee
formed which is known as the Ne
York Society of Teachers of Dancini
This congress meets every two week

SIX MONTHS FOR
MRS. Won CLAUSSEN
Woman Convicted of Sending
Threatening Letter to Strauss
Gets No Clemency.

Mrs Ida Won Claussen, who was con-
victed last week before Judge Rosalsky
on a charge of sending a threatening let
ter 20 Charles Strauss, president Of the
Board OF Water Supply. was yesterday
sentenced TO six months in the peniten-
tiary. In the letter she is alleged 10 have
written she told Mr.. Strauss she would
shot him down like a dog because he
had not secured a divorce for her that
would allow her to marry young Eng
lishman.
Randolph NJ Newman, counsel for Mrs.
Won Claussen, made a strong plea for
clemency on the grounds that the woman
has already been confined in the Tombs
and in Matteawan for some months. The
fact that Mrs. Won Claussen has a son in
boarding school was also brought out by
her counsel, who said that the boy would
have no place TO so when his school closed
in June.
In sentencing her Judge Rosalsky said
that If It were not for the doubt about
the womans sanity he would suspend SEN
tence. but felt that under the conditions
that surround her case he would be forced
TO send her TO Jail.

Continuing It's inquiry into the building

tractors had attempted to bride him into

VATERLAND TERROR
OF NORTH RIVER
Big Liner Sinks Coal Barge
and Causes Panic in
Sailing from Port.

The Vaterland. largest ship afoat and
pride Of the Hamburg-American Line,
sailing from Hoboken yesterday morning
to complete her first round trip across
the ocean, again proved the terror OF he
North River.
When she entered port, last Thursday.
water traffic was demoralized, the liner
taking four hours to enter her pier. Yes
terday she backed out into the stream
and slipped clear across TO the Manhattan
side, her stern swinging within four feet
OF the end Of the Morgan Line pier, at
the foot of West 18th ST.. before the en-
gines were reversed.
So close did the gigantic steamer come
TO the piers that the suction from her

with shipping in the slip. a barge, load
ed with 700 tons of coal. was tipped over
like a rowboat; the Topila and Ell Vale,

were drawn away from their piers till
their hawsers snapped. Then they were
thrown back by the wash and were bat
tered against the bulkheads. The dam
age will amount to more than 500, IT
is said.
How the Vaterland came TO cross the
river could not be explained By officials
of tho Hamburg-Anlerican Line. Not IN
iii the ship reached Hamburg and an in
vestigation was MADE would the reason
for the accident be known. II was de-
clared in a statement issued last night by
W. G. Sickel and J. T. Meyer. directors
81 the line. Persons on the Manhattan
side thought that signals from the bridge
TO the engine room we're crossed. as one
OF the propellers instead OF going ahead
with the others, continued TO reverse.
When the four propellers started sim
ultaneously a tremendous suction was
exerted. Water was drawn low In the
slip between. the piers, and the two
Morgan liners snapped their cables.
Before they could be drawn against the
Vaterlands side and sunk the after
wash. or "quickwater." of the ship drove
them against the piers, SCATTERING the
iron sheeting OF the building and batter
ing the plates and rails OF the steamers.
In the tumut OF waves and whrlpools
a string OF barges suffered most. One at
. the end nearest the river was overturned.
Earl Grey, former Governor General OF
Canada, was a passenger on the big YES
sci. With his wife, two daughters and
Lady Evelyn Jones he started on tour
, about the world. Lord Grey and his
party occupied one OF the imperial suites.

Union Leaders Gain Con
CesSiOnS in House Anti
Trust Measure.
AMENDED BILL WILL
EXTEND IMMUNITY
To Permit Boycott and Picketing
President, at First Defiant,
Gives In When Forced.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, May "a compromise
agreement was reached to-day between
tho administration and organized labor
concerning the provisions in the antitrust
bill covering the rights OF labor under the
propo.ed law. The compromise fores'ails
a 6ght IN the House which labor conn.,
dcntIv expected II could win by an over
vhelming majority.
The President. representatives OF the
American Federation OF Labor and the
subcommittee of the House judiciary
Committee in charge Of the principal anu
trust bill reached basis OF understand
ing late to-day. This was achieved ai'er
the President had conferred with Repre-
sentatives Webb. Carlin and tloyd
Labor leaders in turn held conference
al the Capitol. A war between the admin
istration and the unions has been averted'
according to all present indications.
The compromise contemplates that the
Democrats OF the judiciary committee
shall offer two amendments to the pro-
labor paragraphs. These will have the
support of labor adherents and Democrats
generally, although there is diversity OF
opinion tonight as to which side has won
the victory.
The amendment covers the section pro-
v!ding that ahor. fraternal and agri-
cultural associations formed for purposes
OF mutual help and not profit shall not be
prevented from organizing and carrying
out their legitimate objects. To this sec
ton will be added the following clause:
Nor shall such organizations, orders or
associations, or the members Thereon De
held or construed 10 be illegal comoina-
lions or CONSEQUENCES in restraint or trade
under the antitrust laws
II Is already contended that this Ian
eu,re is subject TO more than one con-
struction, although labor appeared salts
fed with il to-day. Certain members OF
the House declare the administration mas
NOT surrendered entirely and that the Ian
suage is substantially that OF the Demo-
cratic platform.
Organized labor at first demanded mere
" brief declaration that nothing in the
antitrust laws shall apply" TO labor
unions.
The administration Spokesman in the
House agreed to-day TO offer second
amendment to the pending bill. This, fol-
lowing section IS. which forbids the issu-
ance of injumctions to prohibit peaceful
assemblages. picketing and boycottins'
will read:
Nor shall any OF the acts specified In
this para graph b. construed or held to be
unlawful"
The compromise agreement reached to-
day relieves the administration of an en-
