KLEYBECKER STANDING
 WITH WHITLOCK

Leonard Kleybecker, manager of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company, said:
 "I was standing talking with MT. Whit lock, the travelling auditor for the Att Iantic and Pacific Tea Stores, when the crash came. We had no warning what soever. There was a loud, rumbling noise, then all was darkness. MT. Whit lock and were in the rear of the store at the time the crash came taking an inventory. I started calling for him as soon as I could speak, but there was no answer. I groped my way a few feet toward the rear of the store and soon saw that the whole building was threat ened with fire.
 Tn a few minutes the firemen helped me out of the wreckage. I am none the worse for the experience physically. I shall never be able to forget the awful sight that greeted my eyes as gained the street. know there were number of people in the building when it was de- stroyed. I can't say how many, but at this hour of the day 6:21) we always have a number of customers. A great many of them are buying provisions to bring home for dinner"

MISS MOORE TELLS
 OF HER NARROW ESCAPE


 Miss Moore, the plucky girl who climbed down the ladder and escaped with her life, said:
 T am sure there are great many peo- pie in the building occupied by the Ham Shoe company. l have been employed there for long time in the capacity of bookkeeper. I can't imagine very many of those in the store escaping. I am sure there was a number of people shopping at the time the crash came. God knows whether they will get out alive When I saw that I was trapped told myself that it was time for me to keep cool l suppose if I had fainted I would be dead now. I was entangied in the debris and immediately began attempting to ex- tricate myself. This took only a few minutes, I guess although it seemed as though I was never going to get clear of all the wreckage. As soon as l found that 1 was free l started for the front window. Luckily there was very little in my way. As I looked back I saw the flames leapins at my back. 1 knew that time was precious and that l had better keep cool. About this time a lad der was put up against the building and I went down it. felt sick and faint from the dust and smoke, but in some
 
 C. l.. Thompson who lives at Conner Station was passing the building occu- pied by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company just at the time the wall of the Steele-Smith building collapsed His es- cape is considered miraculous as great number of bricks fell upon the side walk where he was walking.
 T don't know what to say about this thing" he said "All know Is that there was a loud crash. and all the floors of the Atlantic and Pacific company and Ham Shoe company buildings fell through.
 There was silence for a second, then the cries of those who were trapped could be heard I hope l shall never have to hear any such moans again as long as I live. They seemed to be the last sounds of a great number of souls going to their doom. Dust and flying splinters were so thick I could not see my way across the street. I stood as If was petrified for few seconds before it dawned on me that great many peo- pie must have been killed. It was awful. I hate to even think of it."

Endorse Charter
Vote Down Amendment to
Divide City Into Two
Districts
ASK LEGISLATURE
TO PASS MEASURE

At a special meeting of the Ninth
Ward Civic Association held in No. 30
School. Concord avenue and Boulo-
ward last night the proposed city
charter prepared by the Wilmington
Civic Association was approved and
a committee consisting of William
Topkis. Harry f. Mellon and James
=. McGowan was appointed 70 pre-
pare memorial to the Legislature
urging the passage of the charter
A lengthy discussion took place
over a resolution offered by Robert
Adair that il was the sense of tho
meeting that tho Wilmington CIVIC
Association should consider the ques-
tion of dividing the city into two dis
tricts. which was amended by wilbur
L. Adams TO the effect that the asso-
citation should surrender this point and
divide the city if this was necessary
10 secure the passage OF the charter
The resolution was tabled on motion
of c. ID. Garretson.
Mr.. Adair thought the selection OF
the five commissioners at large
meant that the politicians would gol
together and select the man. He said
the suggestion had been made that
the city be divided into the two Sena-
torial districts and two commission
ers chosen from the north side oi
Eighth street and two from the south
side and a fifth one at-large.
Caleb L. Burchenal. the Rev
George Henry Dole and Irving War
ner. members of the charter com
mlttcc of the Wilmington Civic Asso-
citation. opposed dividing the city
into two districts.
Mr. Burchcnal said If the commits
sioners were elected at large they
would he responsible to the city at
large. He stated that TO divide the
city into two districts would compli-
cate the ballot
DR.. Dole said the whole intent OF
the city managership government
was to separate the city from politics
and declared that little by little Tho
commissioners would realize they
were not responsible to the politl'
clans.
Wilbur L. Adams said he was in
clincd TO believe with Mr.. Adair tha
it would be better to elect the com
missioners from different districts.
Henry F. Mellon told of trip t.
Galveston. Texas, and Of the success
of commission government there. Tit
motion to approve the proposed char
ter was made by Mr. Topkis.
Mr.. Warner said it would be thre'
or four weeks before the charter wa
presented TO the Legislature. HI
said the men who had prepared tn
charter had some business principle
and were not hide-bound and did no
mind receiving suggestions as Il

scheme. but that in a talk with tn
