WILL ASK CHILDREN
FOR STATUE FUNDS
School Board Permits Caesar
Rodney Memorial Com
mittee to Present Cause
ALL OBJECTION
is OVERRULED

A communication from the execu
tive committee Of the Caesar Rodney
Equestrian Statue was the subject of
lengthy discussion at the meeting
Of the Board Of Education last even
ing.
The communication was as fol-
lows.
"The executive committee of the
Caesar Rodney Equestrian Statue de-
sires the opportunity Of having the
children of the different public schools
addressed relative to the honor due
TO Caesar Rodney with the idea of
giving each pupil an opportunity to
contribute towards the fund for the
statue to be erected in Wilmington.
1T is not the object OF the COM
mttee to plead for subscriptions but
10 offer each pupil the opportunity OF
showing their patriotism and honor
to this noble hero.
Hoping that you will allow this
privilege, / am
'Yours very truly,
WALTER G. TATNALL,
Secretary"
The question was raised as TO
whether tho committee proposed to
solicit funds from the school children
and the communication was upon the
request of different members reread
a number of times.
DR.. " ID. Washburn thought the
matter should be referred to the SUI
perintendent who could report back
TO the board. He said Il was not
business-like to grant a request like
this nor did he think the board had
any authority to do So He thought
the funds should be contributed by
The citizens and not by the children.
DR.. Thomas o. Cooper thought the
law could be strained to grant the
permission; that the committee
should not only be allowed but in
vited to do what they requested. He
said General J. II. Wilson was chair
man of the committee
President Baynard said the rules of
the Board forbid soliciting from the
school children and the board had re-
peatedly refused the G. A. r. per-
mission to solicit funds from the
school children for monument to
General Smyth.
Frank r. Zebley thought one child
should know what another child gave
as It might make poor children feel
badly. "Children will be children as
pigs are pigs" he added The remark
caused much laughter.
Numerous motions were made and
finally all were withdrawn and mo-
tion allowing the committee to have
the public schools addressed relative
% the honor due to Caesar Rodney
vas unanimously adopted.
DR.. Cooper thought this did not go
far enough. but said he would not
amend the motion as he did not want
10 create a wrangle other members
thought the committee was getting
practically all il had asked for
President Baynard said the COM
mittee would give a certificate to
every one contributing a dollar.

Bishop Thomas b. Neely of the

who fails to wear a clerical garb is
false to his colors. The bishop, who
was addressing the Ministerial Union

contended that the mere appearance
of this attire has an uplifting effect
upon the community.

Church unity was discussed by the

Arrest 26 Mexicans

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 3O.--With
the arerst here of 26 Mexicans late
today, % of them were detained, Chief
of police Lancaster and federal au-
thorities tonight announced that a
plan to incite the Mexican population
of San Antonio to deeds of violence
had been frustrated.
The prisoners, according to Chief
Lancaster, are followers of the So
called plan of San Diego and the ex-
travagant manifesto promulgated by a
party of Mexican agitators, which pro-
claimed "the Republic of Mexico" to
be governed by Mexicans. Recent up
risings in the Rio Grande valley caus-
ed the program for the establishment
of the new government to go amiss
and at the same time federal officials
were put on their guard.
Three of the leaders were arrested
Sunday night while addressing a
crowd of 1000 Mexicans on the Mar
ket plaza. The addresses were of an
inflammatory nature and aimed to
arouse certain classes Of Mexicans to
deeds of violence.
Sunday night three speakers gath
cred about 1000 Mexicans and pic
tured to them a tale of persecution
of their fellows.
Zone speaker" Chief Lancaster said,
latter abusing the president of the
United States, the government Of this
country and the white race, generally
openly declared ut is no harm to kill
a gringo and an 'allemane,' meaning
an American and German
1t was at this point that police
charged the crowd and arrested the
leaders but not without a fight.
Following the arrest of the leaders
the police instituted dragnet search
which resulted in the arrest of %
others. They will be placed in the
custody of federal officials who said
tonight that charges of treason, al
leging an effort to set on foot an
armed expedition against the United
States authorities, probably would be
filed against them.
