 Harvey A Banks of Greenwich, and his brother, Frederick A Banks. a rnach1nast-euginee of Port Chester, are in the Greenwich 4lhospita1, as the result of an accident Friday after noon.
 A concrete mixer had been sold. Frederick Banks, who had charge of it's operation last summer, was de- monstraE1ng how it should be rum. While he was standing on the oper- at1ng platform, a. latborer showed a bucket into the mixer, catching his foot. The 1aborer did not hear his -cries and kept on, causing MT.

the world. It was presented to the
municipality by Mr.. Curtis in memory of

Florence Hlnkle and Paul Althouse, of
Philadelphia, are among the artists who
have appeared in these concerts.
Mr.. Mcfarlane was Organist and choir
master of st. Thomas, New York City,

WILMINGTON RIVER FRONT
BILL IN LEGISLATURE
Control of Lands Necessary to Re
sumption of Government Work.

sumption of Government Work.
WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. N.-On the
passage of a bill now before the Legisla-
ture depends the question of whether
Wilmington is to have real front on he
Delaware River. If the Legislature finds
It can give the control OF certain lands to
the city, then the Government will con-
tlnue work on the bullrhead begun years
ago to improve the channel of the Della
ware river.
There will probably be q lawsuit, even
II the bill is passed, before the city can
get control of this river front, and there
is a question in the minds of many as
to whether 1t can ever get It unless 1t
pays large amount of money for 1t. The
people of this city have voted, however,
to obtain control of the land.
Several years ago the Government de-
cided to bulkhead along the river front
at Wilmington. Behind the bulkhead 1t
was intended to fill In, with the object
OF making several hundred acres of new
Land suitable for manufacturing purposes.
This land would have been on deep water
ana to reach deep water from the present
snore II would be necessary to build a
pier 1000 feet long.
:, II was expected by the Government that
the land owners whose property faced the
IlVer would assist in building this bulk
mead When 1t found they were not
gong to do SO the Government stopped
WORK and 1t has never been resumed. It
was SAID however, by some of the Of
Helais or the Government, that II the city
could get control OF the land which the
government proposed to make and would
assist IN building the buikhead the work.
would be completed.
