TROLLEY BELT Line over
front and Second Streets

Another belt line. composed of one
of the old Peoples Company lines and
one of the Wilmington City Company
lines is to be put into operation. be-
ginnig Sunday morning, according to
announcement by the Traction Com
pany today This time the Front
street line of the Wilmington City
system and the Second street and
Clayton street lines OF the Peoples
system are 20 be combined
On Saturday night the last track
connection necessary to make these
changes will be placed at Second and
DUPONT streets, so that the new rout-
! ing of the cars can take place early
Sunday morning According to the
new plans. cars will run south on du-
Pont. east on Second and west on
Front, thereby giving the advantage OF
a double track system and doing away
with the passing switches which are
always responsible for a certain
amount OF delay
The final routing downtown cannot
be put into effect until the work on
King street, between Ninth and
Twelfth. is complete, after which cars
will run north on King. loOped BY
way of Thirteenth. Lombard and Pop
lar to Front street, and alternate cars
going northward on Walnut to Elev-
enth and Spruce. making the return
by way of Walnut street to Front. The
new arrangement brings all Of the
west-bound cars of this line past the
p. b. g. w. depot
The new routing does not make use
of the Second street line west of du-
Pont. which evidently will be aban.
doned for the present at least. II is
claimed that with the consolidated
lines there is no apparent need for
cars over this trackage. Il is. how
ever. understood that the company
ultimate plans provide for connecting
the tracks on Fourth street, west OF
Union so that the Fourth street line
can be looped around by way of Ian.
caster and Greenhill avenues and
West Fourth street. which it is believ
ed will serve the territory much bet
ter.
As soon as the special track juno
lions are in position ii is understood
the Clayton street line from Seventh
TO Fourteenth will be combined will
the dupont street line-thus givinl
double track operation in this section
and the Rockford Park end OF hi
line will become unnecessary, as tn
, patrons in this section have the choic
/, of either the Rising sun line or tn
Delaware avenue line. both of whicl
are routed TO the heart Of the city
down Market street to the p. b. g. "
depot with transfer privileges to othe
! lines as announced abou; two week

WIN CONTINUANCES
Witnesses Absent, Judge
Rice Will Hear State on
September 18th
NEW WARRANTS
SERVED TODAY

Before Resident Judge Herbert L.
Rice today, Levy Court Commission
er Samuel L. Burris was charged
with causing election officers TO vio-
late the authority invested in them
by Chapter S. Charles Virden, Ed
ward Saddler and John Hoodock
were also charged with violating the
provisions OF the law. Philip l.. Gar
rett and Frank L. Speakman repre-
sented the defendants.
The cases we're brought before the
late Magistrate Buckley first, but
never came to a hearing, as the Mag
istrate died. Two days ago new war
rants were sworn out for the defend
ants before Judge Rice and he sat in
the cases today as committing
magistrate. No warrants had been
served on the defendants, but they
appeared in court voluntarily
When Judge Rice took his seat on
the bench Mr.. Chaytor read the war
rants.
Philip l.. Garrett asked for a con-
tinuance. He said the primary cleo
ton was conducted by the Republi-
can party and added that Democrats
had started the trouble at the polls
Mr.. Garrett said that the election Of
ficers, in an effort to prevent trouble
closed the window of the polling
place temporarily. as they did not be
lieve the Democrats had a right t
vote. Mr. Garrett said the warrants
were originally sworn out before
Magistrate Buckley, a Democrat. III
said the defense has had no time Z
prepare for a preliminary hearing
and therefore asked for a continu
ance.
Deputy Attorney General Chayto
objected to a hearing. He said tn
warrants had been sworn out by vii
liam H. Cook, a former City Council
man and a candidate at the Republi
can primary. 1t was true. he said
that a Democrat had sworn out tn
first warrants He said that undo
the law a committing magistrate Il
election cases takes the place of tn
grand jury and that there was n
more reason for going into a hearin
than for the defendants to prOduc
their witnesses before the grand jur!
He said it was right for the State {
produce its witnesses to make
prima facie case
Mr. Garrett said ii has been tn
uniform practice for both sides to b
heard in election cases. to see
there was probable cause to hold dc
PENDANTS for trial.
Mr.. Speakman said in the Herdma
case, testimony on both sides had bee
heard by the late Judge Spruance.
Judge Rice said that sitting as
committing magistrate. he felt /
could not hear the defendants wi
