UNDERGROUND WIRE
SYSTEM FAVORED
Police Commission Hopes
Change Can be Made in
Short Time

The placing of all fire and police
reporting system wires underground
was discussed al yesterdays session
OF the Police Commission and while
nothing definite was done, Il was the
consensus of opinion that at the end
OF the present year what money was
left over should be applied TO buying
new wires. Some time ago the COM
mlssioners asked City Council for
5000 to ece their wires under
ground, Tut Council refused the re-
quest. Yesterday the matter came
up again when representative Of
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany informed the commissioners
that his company was willing 20
transfer ten poles used by them and
the police reporting system to the
Police Commissioners. IL was said
that the telephone company was pre-
pairing to abolish their overhead
wires along the Boulevard whore the
poles are located, and the city could
use the conduits II they wanted. The
commissioners then expressed them
selves as favoring the abolishing of
overhead wires. IL was a so decided
to consider the transferring Of the
poles offered with the Street and
Sewer Department.
The commissioners received a re-
quest for one days time from Patrol

Japanese can get more produce from
a three-acre piece Of ground than
farmer from the East, new to the
country, could extract from a hun
dred-acre farm. In fact, the Jap
succeeds in getting far more from his
farm than a native California farmer.

business with little attention 10 the
opinions others may have OF him. yet

reason Of his retiring disposition, and

1T seems strange that the Japan

not in California, and the laws of the
country permit him to enter the
United States and enjoy its freedom.
yet this freedom is denied him IN
California. l believe that as a far

it would be well for all the Western
States, including California, to en-

SIMONTON after The
State SHOOTING title

Local trapshooters will be given an
opportunity on Saturday Of seeing
two of Delaware's best gun artists
in action. w. A. Simonton, former
ly of San Francisco, who is now
located in Wilmington, has chal-
lenged w. Schuyler Colfax for the
Open State Championship Cup, which
he has held since annexing the title
from Z. Banks, on october 4th.
Colfax needs no introduction to
Wilmingtonians, and has frequently
held the State Championship during
the past several years. He is rated
among the topnatchers of the East,
and can be deDended upon to give a
good account of himself
Simonton was for years one of the
leading wing shots of the Pacific
Coast. and since his arrival in Will
mington last May, has been burning
them up at a great rate.
The honors at the regular weekly
shoots have been pretty well divided
between Colfax and Simonton, and
on Saturday last both tied on scores
OF 81 100, so that all indications
point to a good race Saturday.
