the white slave traihc is the most diff

has been lured. but the suspicious of

last WORD IN FIRE
.APPARATUSFORWASHY
Straight Chemical and Com
bination Engine Are Added
to Equipment
TEST TODAY FOR
THE NEW FIGHTER

The two new automobile fire ap-
paratus for the Washington Fire
Company, arrived yesterday after
noon and will probably be given
test run this afternoon. This morn
ing probably 600 people called at the
engine house and viewed the ma
chimes. With the addition of the two
new machines and the new steam en-
gines added to the equipment only a
few weeks ago. the Washington Com
pany now has an equipment second
TO none. and of which any company
in the East could be justly proud.
The new machines are of the same
type except that one is a straight
chemical apparatus and the other is
combination apparatus. The chem
ical apparatus was ordered because
the members of the company thought
it would do to respond to many Of
the fires that occur in Wilmington.
1t carries $50 feet one one-inch hose,
and two S0-gallon chemical tanks.
They will develop a pressure of 250
pounds per inch, and it is estimated
that chemicals can be thrown to the
third story of any building in Will
mington. The hose is placed on an
automatic reel. The combination ap-
/ paratus carries in addition 70 chemi-
cal tanks and hose, 1000 feet of 1-2
inch double line hose, ladders, and all
modern fire fighting equipment.
! Both machines have 65 horse power
engines, capable of developing a speed
of 50 miles an hour and weigh 5000 and
/ 10000 pounds respectively. They were
made by the Martin Carriage Works, OF
York, Pa, and cost s65OO each In ap-
pearance the machines are very hand
some, they are trimmed in nickle and
painted a bright red, with the name
OF the fire company across the hoods.

DUFFY loses LIGHT
BY THIS DECISION
His House on NeighbOr'S
Lot, So Decision Goes
Against Him
IMPORTANT LAW
POINT SETTLED

Chancellor Curtis heard final argu-
nent this morning in the case of
daitsch VS.. Duffy. The complainant
'sked for an injunction to prevent
Duffy from permanently maintaining
windows on one side of his house at
front and Madison streets. 1t de-
felcped at the hearing that Haitsch
OWNS nine inches of the land upon
which Duffy's house stands, and
Haitsch objects to the windows which
Duffy has in his house overlooking
ais lot. In other words, Haitsch wants
the right to erect an obstruction in
front Of Duffy's windows, should he
care to do so.
The plaintiff, Michael Haitsch, was
represented by William +. Kurtz, and
the defendant, Thomas Duffy, by
Charles w. Bush.
The bill of particulars sets forth
hat some time ago Duffy erected a
orick building upon two adjoining
ots which he owns. Some time later
4 mortgage on one of the lots was
soreclosed, and Haitsch, the purchas-
II under the foreclosure proceedings,
acquired the mortgaged lot.
II then developed that nine inches
If this lot was under the building that
nad been erected by Duffy. in other
words, that Haitsch owned nine
inches of the site upon which stood
Dufys house. There were twenty
windows in the face of the wall OF
Duffy's house on this side.
Haitsch, upon ascertaining that
the windows on the second and third
stories OF Duffy's house OverloOkel
his lot, proceeded to take action to
prevent Duffy from acquiring the right
to permanently maintain these win
dows, and he therefore applied to the
Court of Chancery for an injunction
% prevent the aquisition OF the right
by Duffy, to maintain these windows
and also asking that the windows be
removed
Chancellor Curtis has granted the
Injunction requested by the COM
)lainant, the Chancellor holding that
IS Haitsch owned nine inches under
hat end of the house that he had a
light to erect an obstruction in front
If the windows should he care to dc
50, and also to have the windows re-
moved. Under the law should Haitscf
lesire to do so, he could compel Duffy
70 cut off the nine inches of his build
ng that overlap the lot.
A peculiar development Of the cas-
8 that under the law a person owninl
house acquires the right to perma
nantly maintain windows in thl
house after 20 years. In the case be
,ore the Chancellor the twenty year
had nearly expired. II was therefor
necessary for the Chancellor to i'm
nediately prepare his opinion Il
come within this law.
1t is now up to Duffy TO close tn
side of his house facing on Haitsch'
lot.
