COMPANY REFUSES

Ninety Bower machine glazers OF
leather, who had been employed by
the f. Blumenthal Company, went on
a strike this morning for an increase
in pay for glazing skins of six feet
measurement or over. AS a result that
department was idle all day. The
glazers also asked for other conces-
sions which they said the firm is will
ing to grant, but the firm would not
give an increase in pay.
The glazers held a meeting on Sat
urday in Pulaski Hall, and framed
their requests to the firm. John Was
chek presided over the meeting and
William Wolhar was secretary. They
asked for fifteen cents a dozen for ali
skins over six feet measurement. They
now get 10 cents dozen for all skins
under seven feet area, and twelve
cents dozen for all skins seven feet
or over.
They also asked that the windows
of their rooms be kept open durina

CORONER BALKs on INCREASE.

Because the Levy Court has failed
to provide permanent county
morgue. a suggestion which has been
made many times, Coroner Spring is
confronted by the alternative Of pay
ing an increase Of $40 a month in his
rent or vacating the building at No.
S14 King street, the first floor and
basement Of which he now occupies
as an office, jury room and morgue.
The coroner says he pays $50 a
month rent for the section he occu-
pies. This is $500 a year. He says
that the landlord wants $50 a month
rent for the space. This Coroner
Spring thinks is excessive. He has
six months to remain in office, and il
he is compelled to move, it will prob.
ably be a hard task TO get new quar-.
ters that are suitable.

ALLEGED BIGANIST
TO plead STATUE
Of LIMITATIONS
Counsel Holds Black, Can
not be Prosecuted Two
Years After Crime
court TO HEAR THE
Case ON next TUESDAY

William Black, accused BY Mrs. Mar
garet Black, Of Belfast, Ireland, Of
bigamy, appeared in City Court today
for a preliminary hearing, but the case
went over until Tuesday. Phillip J..
Garrett, counsel for Black, sought a
dismissal ON the ground that the de-
fendant cowld not be charged with the
crime after two years from the date Of
its commits SION. 1t appeared that Black
it married, had been married at least
six years, he having child here of that
age Judge Churchman ruled, however,
that the proper time to urge this mo
tion was at the trial. Both Mrs. Black
No. ] and Mrs. Black No. ? were in
court when the case was called. They
sat in different ems of the court room
and after court adjourned wife No.
/ approached wlfe No. ?, but the latter
did not seem to be in a talkative mood
and left the court room.
When the case was called Mr.. Garrett
informed the court that the defendant
was ready for trial.
Assistant City Solicitor Lynn, how
ever asked for a continuance until
Tuesday next
Mr.. Garrett opposed the motion,
claiming bail was high and The man is
1 locked up.
Mr. Lynn then informed the court
that it may be necessary for Chief
Black or some one else to 90 to New
York and get official records there to
show a suppostion that Blacks sec
ond marriage took place in New York
State.
Mr.. Garrett then argued that a big
amy charge cannot be sustained where
the parties are separated for five
years before the first wife brings the
charge. Mr. Garrett said Black has
lived here for at least six years and
has child six years Of age. II the
alleged second marriage took place in
this State Mr.. Garrett said the charge
should fail because Of the statute OF
Limitation, Mr.. Garrett contending that
Black cannot be prosecuted for an IL
legal act alleged to have been com
United more than two years ago.
Judge Churchman replied that thl
truth or falsity Of the charge agains
Black was not before the court at thii
time. The motion before the court
the judge remarked, was for a con.
!, tinuance of the case and the facts viii
be brought out al the hearing. Bail fol
( Blacks appearance on Tuesday mex
was fixed at $500.

Library OFFICIALS
TALK new BUILDING.
BUT FAIL TO ACT

Directors of the Wilmington Insti-
tute Free Library last night discussed
new building for the library but
nothing definite was decided upon. 1t
is probable that in short time steps
will be taken for the securing OF a
new building as the library is badly
in need Of more room and better
quarters. The library owns the pres
ent building but no offer has been re-
ceived for it. Nothing was given out
for publication as to the means that
would be employed to secure a new
building. It was stated that several
sites We're discussed, but none Of
them met the favor of the entire
board.
Arthur L. Bailey, librarian report
ed that there are now 1898 borrow
ers from the library, and in a short
time this number is expected to in
crease to 10000. 416 new borrowers
were registered this month and 339
cards were cancelled or expired
The total number of new books re-
ceived during the month was 317 and
227 We're withdrawn, showing an in
| crease of 80 books. The total circu-
latlon of the library was 22,25S, an
increase of 1884 over the correspond
ing month of 1913. Most of this in
crease came from the central library
and the schools.
Six hundred and twenty-three
mounted pictures were distributed
during the month, showing a gain oil
100 over the corresponding month oi
1 1913.
Gifts were received from William p
Bancroft, Judge George Gray, Miss
Margaret H. Shearman, c. r. Van

NEW YORK, May 20.-Charles
Becker's defense against the charge
of numbering Herman Rosenthal re-

hour before he died in the the cleo

This crisis in the defense came
when Becker's defense called Thomas

Sing Sing to the witness chair. Nc
lnerney. with Warden Clancy. and
Prison Chaplain Father Cashin, heard
Dago Franks confession.
When the prison official was sworn
Justice Seabury at once excluded the
jury. The twelve men filed out OF
