DELAWARE CITY. Del. March 6.
Prospects now are good for the de-
feat of the curfew law. despite the
fact that it has been passed by City
Council by a 2 TO / vote. Mayor Will
liam NJ Householder mas announced
that he will veto the law. He has al
ready done so verbally, but promises
TO do so formally today The status
OF the law is such that It cannot be
passed over the veto Of Mayor House
holder because 1t requires the unani-
nous action of The City Council tc
override the veto OF the mayor This
cannot be accomplished. as Council
man Harry Rose does not favor IN,
law, while Councilmen Frank j. Iron;
and Edward Coale favor IT'S passage
The children OF the city therefore

81" TRAIN NEAR PLUNGE
FROM HIGH TRESTLE
Low Speed Only Averts Fall
When Car Leaves Track at
Front and Arch Loop.

A fortunate lack of speed was all that
kept q westbound elevated train from
plunging over the trestle into Arch street
today when 1t was derailed on the loop
at Front and Arch streets, just before
entering the subway. The front truck OF
the first car left the track, tying up both
east and westbound traffic east of the Sth
street station.
There was sudden Jolt as the train.
rounding the curve, came to a stop, shak-
ing up the passengers in the comfortably
filed cars. No one was injured. small
section of the third rail was damaged.
Had the train been going fast 1t probably
would have plunged over the trestle into
Arch street.
Officials of the company rushed to the
scene with squads of workmen and su-.
pcrvisors halted all eastbound subway
trains at Sth street, which became the
temporary terminus of the line. Trains
were switched over on the "crossover,'
and passengers going east took surface
cars from this point. "Jitneys" did a
thriving business. Officials of the com
pany said they did not know what caused
the accident. but 1t is believed that It
was a spread rail.

a German reservist, held in the Tombs
under $4,000 BAIL suspected of perjury

tania case. Hardenberg was apprehend-
ed last Friday in the Cincinnati post

Other witnesses before the Grand jury
today told of the habits and past life OF
