aged "a, of ia West Twenty
fourth street, Wilmington, were

launch Signet, to ducking flats
along the Delaware, on Saturday

drowning of the son and the ser

son went into the launch cabin to
fill gasoline stove and his
father who was steering told him
to put all lights out, which was
done, but the stove was probably
overheated and an explosion fol-
lowed. The father rushed from
the wheel to the cabin and heard
faint call from the river. He
rushed back to the wheel and call

He then fought and controlled the

WORKING TO PRE-
VENT FUTURE WAR
Ex-president Taft Sends Let
ter To Wilmington Cham.
Der Of Commerce

A letter has been received by
Colonel j. J. Satterthwait, presi-
dent of the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce, from ex-President
Taft, asking the people of Will
mnigton-and Delaware-to coop
crate in an effort to create senti-
ment among business men in
favor of a rational plan for world
peace, to be worked out through
international agreement after
peace has been declared in Eu-
rope.
Arguing that the recurrence of
such a conflict as now RACES in
Europe ought if possible, to be
prevented, Mr.. Taft in his letter
urges the members of the organ
ization to cooperate in an effort
to mould public opinion both in
this country and abroad, in favor
of a league of the great powers,
who shall agree not to go to war
in any case until the question has
been passed upon judicially, the
nations agreeing also to use their
joint military and economic forces
against any nation refusing to
keep the pact.
Mr.. Taft refers particularly to
the referendum of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States of
America on the report of that
body's special committee on eco
nomic Results on the War and
American Business" This refer
endum will come up shortly for
consideration on the part of the
business men who are members Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Taft's request is made at
this time, it was explained yes
terday, in view of the fact that
the referendum in question out
lines a plan for world peace, al
most identical with that contained
in the proposals of the League to
Enforce Peace, which was organ
lied by Mr.. Taft, President A.
Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard Un-
iversity, and other men of nation
wide prominence at Philadelphia
in independence Hall last June
Mr.. Taft is president Of the
league.

A Bit OF Local History

In a paper recently read by A..

College, before the Delaware His

writer gives us the following bit
of local history. Speaking of the
treatment accorded the tories, the
writer says, MANY were compel
led to recant. We will give one
case as being typical of number
we have collected. The Reverend
Norman Edwards of White Clay
Creek Church, near Newark, Della
ware, signed the following recan-
tation:
Whereas, have sometime
since, made use of rash and i'm
prudent expressions with respect
to the conduct of my fellow-coun-
trymen, who are now engaged in
a noble and patriotic struggle for
the liberties of America against
the arbitrary measures OF the
British ministry, which conduct
has Justly raised their recruitment
against me, l now confess that

"The automobile is being intro

conditions will admit of using

"The success of the revision Of
