ment is strongly indorsed, was sent

Mr.. Warner writes in part as follows.
1T occurs to me that the movement
which the Chamber of Commerce is
promoting for creating greater actiy-
ity in the development of the indus
trial. mercantile, and civic interests
of Wilmington could be more rapidly
advanced if the men who are interest
ed in construction and building de-
velopments we're giving 1t their per-
sonal attention and support
you and / are interested in see
ing more building and construction
work under way. You and ! know
there has been a retrenchment all
along the building lines. We also
know if more new people were seek
ing Wilmington as a place to live in
it would give the entire building prop
osition tremendous impetus"
y letter TO physicians and dentists
advising them of the good they could
accomplish for Wilmington through the
Chamber ot Commerce was sent out
yesterday by DIR. Harrison W. Howell
He called attention 10 the fact that
members of the medical and dental pro
fessions We're not well represented m

that both professions should give th,
new movement serious consideration

 Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown became active in the case. It was learned that by reason of hot box freight car was taken from reg ular freight train Thursday afternoon and placed on Chapman's siding. When the car was picked up later in the afternoon it was found that the seal of the door had been broken and the car entered. A case containing val uable sterling silver hair brushes and combs, with Chicago as destination and shipped from Boston, had; been smashed and nearly all the contents removed The delivery of the ex- press packages in New York were held up and Chief Kearnes and Detective King of the railroad force came from Providence, in connection with the case and had a talk with the prisoners, who again confessed their guilt. Shapiro and Miller in response to a query from Chief Brown acknowledged being in Westerly making inquiries for a cheap lodging house and that they had spent Thursday night in 8 fire house on the Connecticut side of the river, where they were hospitably entertained. They told in the fire house that they were going to New London but instead walked towards Providence. They spotted the sealed car on the siding and, said Shapiro, We took a chance and here we are"

Miller was willing to go with him. He said they had a fine time while the money last ed but when Westerly was reached they were short of funds, having just enough left to buy a light breakfast after leaving the fire house Friday morning Both boys claim they have given their correct names, but they are distinctly of foreign descent and come from a race where the name Mil Ter does not exist and where Shapiro is not common.
