ing of City Council last evening, pre-
sented communication TO the lody
signed by Mrs. Winnifred Whlteman,
OF South Wilmington, in which she
alleged that question Of religion
bad been permitted to enter into the
appointment of a police matron at

legged that William p. Bowers presi-
dent of the Police Commission, had
been influenced In the appointment
by request made by Mrs. Mary
Davis. one OF the police matrons, who
urged that a Protestant be appointed
to fill the vacancy
It is understood that Mr.. Bowers,
Mrs. Whiteman and the persons she
mentions in the letter will be sum-
moned before Council as a committee
of the whole next Wednesday night,
in order that the matter may be thor
oughly inquired into. The letter
follows:
Wilmington. Lei. Feb. 4, 1914.
ITO the President and Members OF
City Council
Gentlemen; In justice to myself
and to this community | think Il
should be publicly known that II the
Police Commission Is run on non
partisan lines. as Is often claimed,
Il certainly seems to be run with an
utter lack of intelligence. when IL
permits. the question of religion 10
govern It's actions and permits its
sectarian views to prejudice Il
against appointing persons who are
otherwise qualified to fiji positions
at its disposal.
when one of the matrons at the
police station resigned. / made ap-
plicatiOn for the place. / called upon
Mr. Bowers and was assured not on
ly of favorable consideration, but
received what ! considered positive
assurance of appointment.
This statement was made In the
presence of one who was interested
in securing the position for me, Mr.,
Barnes.
"Then came the change. Mr.,
Barnes told my daughter. Mrs. W. u.
McClintock. that Mr.. Bowers want
ed TO know If I was a Catholic, and
II / was. he could not appoint me-
But said 7 was qualified for the posi-
tion in every way, and the only OBJ
stacle was I am a Catholic.
II called on Mr.. Bowers the day
OF the appointment, December g.
1913, and ssked Mr. Bowers about
the position. Mr.. Bowers said that
was all settled in the morning. and
Mrs. Davis had asked him when he
was getting a matron 20 elect a
Protestant.
Il said what difference did that
make with Mrs. Davis. as she was
not on duty at the same time. MT
Bowers said to me If the matron
Mrs. Davis, was a Catholic, he would
appoint a Catholic. Trusting that
this will be born in mind, In all fu'
ture appointments, ! am, Mrs. Win
nifred Whiteman, Lobdelrs Works

"P. ST. told Mr.. Bowers I woulS
not keep II a secret"

RED" SMITH, BOSTON
PLAYER, BREAKS LEG

New York. Oct. I'LL luck entered
the camp of the Boston Braves while
engaged in the double-header with
Brooklyn, when Red" Smith, third
baseman for the National Champions,
broke his leg in the opening contest.
Smiths right leg was broken just
above the ankle in sliding to second
base in the ninth inning Of the first
game.
Manager stallings and Captain
Evers, when questioned yesterday re-
garding what effect the loss Of Smith
would have on the work of the Braves
in the championship series, declared
his absence would not be a serious
handicap to the teams effectiveness,
as James Deal could fill the place sat
isfactorily. Other members Of the
team expressed the same opinion. All
the players declared themselves con-
1dent Of winning from the Athletics.
Deal played third base for the
Braves in the early part Of the season
but developed a Charley horse and
suffered from a sore throat. His place
was taken by Smith, who was pur-
chased from Brooklyn. It was stated
here that Deal has fully recovered
and will be in condition for the
worlds series.
We were well. prepared for Just
such a contingency" said Manager
Stallinss. Il am glad to be in a posi-
ton to say there ii not a place on the
team into which we could not put a
substitute at a moments notice."
