FUND IS ILLEGAL
Cincinnati Court So Rules,
Although Suit Will
Be Opposed
LOCAL MEN
ARE INTERESTED

A decision which may prove OF
great Importance in Delaware was
handed down yesterday by the Com
non Pleas Court of Cincinnati, o.,
when the million-dollar insurance
fund of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern Railroad, obtained by
contributions from the roads en-
ployes. was held TO be illegal.
The court upheld the contention
Of attorneys for Joseph Bailey, a
switchman. who sued for the amount
he had contributed TO the fund, claim
ing that the contributions were COM
pulsory. The courts decision held
that the fund was Illegal in the State
of Ohio. and so there can be no inn
mediate effect in Delaware. The
roads counsel stated. however, that
the case will be carried to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States.
and, If the Cincinnati courts opinion
is upheld. the entire fund will have

contributed to il.
Thousands of the employees Of the
Baltimore and Ohio make contribu-
tions from their salaries to a mutual
insurance fund. similar to that on the
b and O. Southwestern. It may be
that the opinion is worded in such
way that it will not affect the local
fund. but nothing definite on this line
is yet known.

Peace ADVOCATES
Commend PRESIDENT
DR.. Mitchell and DR.. Holmes
Condemn the European
Conflict
WANT JUSTICE
AMONG NATIONS

A large audience of peace advocates
greeted DR.. Samuel Chiles MITCHELL
president of Delaware College, and DIR.
Jesse II. Holmes, president of Swarth-
more College, at a meeting in thel
Friends Meeting House, Fourth and
West streets, last night. The meetingl
was held under the auspices of the
Delaware Peace Society.
Both of the speakers commended
President Wilson for his neutral 'atti-
tude at the present time.
The speakers deplored the enormous
loss of life incidental to warfare, DIR.
Holmes remarking that an amount of
money sufficient to build three Panama
canals had been sunk in the sea already
as the result of the European war. Dr..
Holmes said war does not develop cour-
age or manhood, and that it only brings
out the worst, immoral instincts of the
man.
In our own country, said the speaker,
it required years before we recovered
from the effects of the Civil War. The
strong. vrile men of the nation were
wiped out, and in the present genera
tion we are beginning to recover from
the effects of the devastation.
DR.. Holmes made the statement that
at might turn out that Christianity
will work. We could turn our battle
ships into merchant ships and face the
other nations on basis of absolute
justice" He said it might be worth
while for a nation TO try Messiahship
a--ong nations
DR.. Mitchell said the European
trouble was caused by the solidarity
of the German empire. The message
! that comes to America today is learn
to think internationally. Learn TO re-
move the causes of war. We are MEM
bers one with another and if one suf-
fers all must suffer"
In conclusion the speaker said "I
am heartily in favor of holding up the
hands of President Wilson in his at
tempt to maintain a neutral attitude
There was a suggestion at the close
of the meeting that a resolution be
adopted to that effect but Lewis W.
BrOsius explained that the President
was fully aware of the attitude of the
Delaware Peace Society, since mes
sages have been sent to the President
assuring him of such an attitude
At the close of the meeting Caro-
line Cooper made an announcement
that the Senate had passed a bill to
abolish the Juvenile Court in this
State She urged those present to
join a strong delegation of persons
who will go to Dover Friday morning
to be granted a hearing by the House
of Representative when a protest
will be made that the Juvenile Court
shall not be abolished. Announcement
: was also made of a peace meeting TO
be held at Odd Fellows Hall on Sun

dollar DAY" AGAIN
A GREAT SUCCESS
City Merchants Report I'm
usual Rush For Goods

MANY VISITORS
GET BARGAINS

Merchants and buyers of this city
are enthusiastic over the success Of
Dollar Day" it eclipsing all previous
records and exceeding even the high
est expectations of all concerned. All
day yesterday stores in the city were
thronged with crowds of enthusiastic
buyers and Market street was literal
ly black with people the entire day.
Possibly the most interesting fea-
ture surrounding the holding of Dol
lar Day" was the large number of out
of town persons who came to the
city by boat, train, trolley and auto
mobile and who appeared to be as
enthusiastic over the bargains dis
played as any and all other buyers
appeared to be. A man, who said he
was from Gloucester, n. j.. bought 25
shirts for one dollar each and en-
Enthusiastically declared them to be
the best he had ever seen at this
price. This was only one of many
similar incidents.
A visit TO the managers of all the
stores brought forth the same re-
sponse, that this Dollar Day" was de-
cidedly the most successful one that
has ever been given here. A numb
of entire families, each member
which displayed various lists On
things desired, were often noted and
throughout the entire day one was
reminded of the holiday season, what
with the jolly good-natured crowds
that pushed their way through the
stores and along the street. and the
hustle and the hustle that reigned in
the stores themselves. At one store,
so rushed were the employs that they
could not even take time to go out
for lunch, but were forced to remain
I to accommodate customers. These
same employees were given some
time later in the afternoon, however,
to make up for the unusual rush.
Dollar Day" is now an annual af-
fair in this city. this being the third
one that has been given here. and
merchants and buyers are unanimous
in declaring it to be a successful and
enjoyable feature. Dollar Day" is
given under the auspices of the mer-
camille section of the Chamber Of
/ Commerce.
