LIBRARY TO Be CLOSED
ON The SUMNER sundays

Special vacation privileges went in
to effect June I at the Institute
Free Library. These privileges allow
four books of fiction to go out ON
each card, provided that two of them
were published before 1911 Fiction.
which is marked "sevon days." must
follow the regular rules of the IL
brary, but all other fictions may be
kept six weeks without renewal. pro-
vided that notice rs given the attend
ant that the books are wanted for
the extra period of time. This rule
will also apply to all books that
are not fiction, except restricted
books Beginning September Is, these
special vacation privileges will be
Withdrawn
During the many hot days which
the city will undoubtedly experience
in the next three months Il will be
part of prudence for booklovers to
make use of the messenger service
at the Free Library. For the small
sum of five cents any book will be
delivered within the city limits It
will be seen that this Is less than the
cost of carfare, and is an especially
desirable thing TO do on days when
the weather for any reason is disa-
greeable.
Beginning Sunday. June n. the
Free Library will be closed Sunday
afternoon until October I. Expcr-
fence In the past shows that there is
not sufficient use of the library on
Sundays to justify the authorities in
keeping it open during the summer
months.
As has been customary i'm the past.
the Free Library has displayed on the
tables in the reading room. literature
which will be of great assistance to
those who are planning for summer
vacations. Many different railroad
and steamship lines in the country
have sent folders, booklets. etc, Civ
ing descriptions OF various summer
resorts. Most of these pamphlets are
exceedingly attractive and the differ
ent companies have been kind enough
to send several copies so that
those who are particularly in
terested may have copy for
permanent use. Even for those
who are not planning a vacation at
this time. these pamphlets will prove
attractive They are generally we'll
written and exceedingly well illustra-
ted.

NEW MANUALS FOR POLICE.

Members of the police force will
soon be furnished with a pamphlet
containing all standing orders now
in effect in the department This will
remove all misunderstanding which
might exist over the rules. The Po-
lice Commission has referred to the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Trac-
ton Company a complaint of super
intendent Gray that without the
knowledge or consent of the police
department the company has attached
electric wires to poles in several
sections of the city. on which poles
are police and fire alarm wires. Il
was stated that only recently the
traction company had complained of
FIRE and police wires being attached
TO their poles. The commissioners
therefore decided il was about time
there should be an understanding

FRANK schubert WORLDS
Greatest SONG WRITER

Franz Schubert, composer of heart
ful masterpieces. was born at Lich-
tontahl, near Vienna, Austria, Janu-
airy 81, 1897. The son OF a country
schoolmaster, little Franz was an
apt pupil. At the age of seven he
attended the Imperial School of Mu-
sic and sang in the choir of the
imperial Chapel Three years later
his voice failed, but his proficiency
with the violin secured him employ
ment When only seventeen years
old he returned home to help his
father, during which time he com
posed a famous mass. and more than
hundred heart melodies, including
the renowned "Serenade." Disap-
pointed ambition and failing health
inspired that divine sadness which
has made his "Adieu," a classic, and
characterizes so many of his COM
positions. AT the age of thirty-one
he passed away, after composing a
"Swan Song" amid the closing hours
of his pathetic career.
This beautiful swan song, "Adieu!
'Tis Loves Last Greeting" is to be
found on page 175 of Heart Songs
the song book that it took four
years to make. and being the choice
of 10000 music lovers all over the
world. The distribution Of this book
by Lippincott & Co. Inc. to its patrons
is one of the most wonderful enter
prises ever undertaken by a depart

w. M. SHEHAN
FORCES TO FRONT

BALTIMORE, Md, june lO.-The
greatest interest in the Congressional
situation in the First district, created
by the appointment OF Congressman Gov
ington 10 the bench, centres upon what
Senator Smith will do.
The Eastern Shore. which comprises
the First district, is his home territory
and he has strong hold on the party
organizations in the several counties.
His wishes. if expressed, will have
weight and all the prospective candi-
dates want TO know where he stands
senator Harvey l.. Cooper OF Caroline
county, was the most discussed man for
the place and there seemed TO be a gen
eral idea that il ho decided to 20 after
il he would be hard to beat. Mr.. Cooper
talked over the telephone with friends
m Baltimore during the day, but gave
no indication whether he would be a
candidate.
He seems to be afraid that his bust
ness and professional interests might
suffer. Also, he was much attracted TO
state politics by his work at Annapolis
last winter However, men very close
to him sny that he will determine A.
nally to go after the nomination.
Next TO senator Cooper, discussion
ccntered largely upon state Insurance
Commissioner William Mason Shchan
of Talbot county He was at Annapolis
good deal during the legislative SEES
sion in connection with the Worllmcn's
Compensation law and made a fine linz
preston.
A good many men said yesterday that
Cooper and Shchan are among the best
fitted of the Eastern Shorcmn for
work in national legislation. It also
was pointed out that both OF them
would make especially strong candi-
dates by reason of their known sym
pathv with President Wilson, notwith-
standing their relations with the party
organization Caroline aud Talbot
counties gave their delegates TO viii
son in the Presidential primaries
Talk of Senator Jesse ID. Price OF
Wicomico county. continued, and il was
said that he was being urged Strongly
TO run. a report came mp from the
Shore that former States Attorney Jo-
seph l.. Bailey of Wicomico. might he
come candidate, but later il was said
that he had expressed himself as favor
ing Price.
Friends of Senator William W. Bccl,
of Kent county, became pctive during
the day and IL was said that hc is think
ing OF becoming a candidate.
IL was said by organization leaders
close 20 Senator Smith that Comptroller
Emerson G. Harrington oi Dorchester
county, would hardly be a candidate.
There was strong intmation from
organization people that it might bo
found advisable to nominate different
men for the short and long terms.
Governor Goldshorough will issue his
writ oi election for the short term. II
is assumed that the writ will be opera
tive in the regular September primary

BOYs TAMPER WITH Gas METER


AT the meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation on Monday night the follow
ing letter was received from the VIII
mington an6 Philadelphia Traction
Company ard referred to the High
School committee:
Our meter inspection department
reports that on June 2 they discover
ed that meter No. 523,6lO has, been
tempered with and the cover removed,
and the dials turned forward so that
the meter registered 1900 kilowatts,
when youI average consumption for
this meter is about 225 kilowatts Per
month
This cordition no doubt is due to
the fact that some of the boys in the
school were ambitious to exploit
their electrical knowledge.
Our meter department made the
necessary adjustment replacing the
cover. sealing the meter. and left II
registered correctly and in good con-
dition.
I'VE merely bring this matter be-
fore YOU i'm order to protect ;he
school boar Il as well as the lighting
