BREAKWATER CO.
PLANS Halted
BondholderS Enter Objection
to Liability for Uncom-
pIeted Work
REORGANIZATION
OVER FOR PRESENT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 15.--
Plans for the reorganization Of the
Breakwater Company, which is in the
hands of receivers, have been halted
by a protest filed with the referee by
the several bonding companies which
became sureties for a number of con-
tracts. II is contended that if the
corporation Is reorganized the bond
ing companies would be at the mercy
Of the Government for the uncom-
pleted work.
When the Breakwater Company
failed the bOndhOlders were called to-
gether by Rhine Russell Freed, trus-
tee, who presented a statement of the
concerns affairs. 1t was shown that
It had exhausted its capital in con-
structing a plant, which is said TO be
fully equipped for all the demands
that could be made upon 1t, but be-
cause of lack Of funds Il was impossi-
BILE TO complete the various Govern
ment contracts, one of which is for a
breakwater in the Hawaiian Islands.
Most of the bondholders agreed TO the
reorganization plan proposed.
Coupled with the objections to the
reorganization plan is the allegation
that the Breakwater Company would
not have been overtaken by financial
failure had II not been for misman-
agement in the work performed,
losses having been sustained, it is
charged, on contracts that should
have yielded a good profit

Chamber of Commerce in the rose
room of the Hotel DUPONT last even
ing, Mayor Harrison W. Howell ex-
pressed regret that he would not be
privileged, during his term of Office,
to see the construction Of a river
front for Wilmington. He declared
that there Is something wrong with
the Wilmington river front as II now
stands, and said that II was one OF
the greatest disappointments OF his
term in Office that he could not see
the development Of q river front for
the city.
The Mayor urged that Wilmington
should be advertised as the best
paved, best-lighted and best-policed
city Of its size in the country"

ton made by John B. Taylor, the

ant steps in the history of Wilmington
and remarked that less than half OF
the number of appeals expected had
been taken.

campaign was inaugurated by the
section with the distribution Of 300
cards. each bearing the name Of a
prospective member. among the men,
bers present with instructions 10

I idea was suggested by Harry A. Mil.
Ter, chairman of the Publicity Com.

THE taylor BILL
Consideration Of Police Ex-
pert'S Recommendations
VIII Come Later
MR.. WICKERSHAM
OPPOSES HASTE

Although the report OF John b.
Taylor the police efficiency expert,
was submitted last Wednesday, the
merits Of the report were not ccnsid-
cred BY the Police Commissioners
yesterday afternoon. The Commits
sioners discussed the approval of the
last installment of the bill of Mr..
TAYLOR. which was for SS34. how
ever. After the bill had been read
by President Bowers, It was approx
ed by Mr.. Bowers, who said: There
is nothing for us to do but to approve
Il, and send It to Council" Thomas n
Stayton, a member Of the Commits
sion, said that was the only course to
pursue, but General Wickersham, the
third member Of the Commission,
said, "I am not prepared to sign that
voucher, as the report is still under
consideration. We may desire to ask
Mr.. Taylor some questions or advice.
and I see no need of haste I'm paying
the bill"
President Bowers explained that
Mr.. Taylor had offered TO come here
and explain the plans submitted and
otherwise assist the Commissioners
in carrying out his suggestions. Mr..
Bowers also said, "If we sign this,
it doesn't pay the bill" General
Wickersham still contended that he
could see no need of haste, and also
made it plain that he had no desire
TO hold back the money, but thought
the report should be gone over first.
Speaking of paying for it. Mr.. Wick
ersham asked: Don't you think the
report should first be gone over?"
President Bowers replied: "If the
report is not satisfactory in every
way, we must pay for it, and / am go
ing to sign the voucher and send II
to Council. Then let them do what
they want with IT,"
General Wickersham explained that
he felt he had a responsibility as a
police commissioner, and, while he
had no ulterior motive he wanted il
understood that he thought public
business should be transacted in q
business like manner The bill was
then approved by President Bowers
and Commissioner Stayton.
Just when the Commissioners will
consider the report is not known
but as the members are reading II
carefully. il most likely will be con.
sidered in the near future. Prev

''PATIENCE" Given
DRESS rehearsal

Last night there was dress re-
hearsal OF the entire cast Of
Patience" with the orchestra at The
Playhouse by the DUPONT Puff and
Powder Club.
The special scenery and beautiful
costumes proved an immense help 20
the players in giving the spirit of the
opera its fullest expression, and Di-
rector Edward s. Grant, of Philadel-
phia, was greatly pleased with the
exceptional smoOthness and finish Of
the dress rehearsal.
Manager Grant is most emphatic
in his demand for complete concen-
traction Of every member of the cast,
whether on the stage or in the wings.
He maintains that whether those on
the stage are doing solo part or
are I'm duet or sextette. they need
the sympathetic support of every
other player, and I'm turn the players
I'm the wings will render their parts
much more artistically and force
fully, If they keep their minds in
the atmosphere of the play from
start to finish Il is 70 his insis-
tance on this principle that much Of
the success of productions managed
by him Is due.
Mr.. Grant is never disagreeable
but his strong personality and great
tact enable him to get positive re-
suits and maintain excellent disci-
pline without friction Owing 20 the
large number of seats taken by men,
bers and by those holding advance
tickets, the impression has spread
throughout Wilmington that there Is
almost nothing left for the public
sale which started this morning. This
is erroneous. While the sale OF
seats has been most gratifying and
the club is now assured of covering
all expenses, up TO noon today there
were good seats left for all perform
ances. IT is hoped that accommoda-
tions will be sufficient for all. as the
outlook for a later performance is not
| favorable because Of The Playhouse
