DOVER. Del. Feb. 26. Several bills
affecting Wilmington were passed or
kinedan the House and Senate yes
terday afternoon.
= BY vote of eighteen yeas and thir-
teen nays the House defeated topre-
sentative Elliotts bill to make iif-
teen per cent. increase in the salaries
OF Wilmington policemen. The Dill
required twenty-fOur votes. Mr.. El-
liott changed his vote in order TO try
to have the bill reconsidered ana
passed.
In advocating the bill Mr.. Elliott
said the Wilmington policemen are
paid much less than those of cities or
similar size. He said they work seven
days a week and twelve hours a day
and their average pay is 20 leo cents
an hour. Considering that, and the
fact that they are subject TO the call
of duty at all hours. he believed It
but fair to pay them more money.
On motion of Representative Down
ward. Councilman Oscar c. Draper
was given the privilege Of the Goor-
He said City Council was opposed to
the bill and the Police Commission
also declined to endorse it. Mr.. ORA
per said Council and the Police Com
mission have authority under the pres
ont law. to increase the pay of police
men If they see fit to do So He poie
ed out that Council is assisting IN up
building pension retirement fund
for the police department.
The vote on the bill was as follows:
-Messrs. Allen. DALEY, Dickey'
Donovan. Elliott. Evans, Hall, Hance'
Hastings. Jones, Kenney Mabrey'
Mfbourne. Rash, Richards, Roach,
SaIevan. Webster, Wllliams-19.

Downward, Hill. Hoch. Letherbury
Lingo, Salisbury. Short Vaughan
Warrington. Speaker Grantland-l2.
Not Voting-Messrs. Carey, Cub
baae. Daisoy, Schwatka-4
Mr.. Elliott changed his vote 70
"No" for purpose of reconsideration.
Opnose Earlier Polls Opening.
Senator Hiclman's bill providing
that the polls in Wilmington at muni-
cipal elections shall be opened be-
tween Z and 7.30 a. m. instead of l
p. m. as at present, was killed in the
Senate.
Senator Gormley opposed the bill
contending that there is no valid rea-
son for keeping the polls open longer
than they are at present as the vote
is never as heavy at municipal elec
tions as at the regular elections, an'
under the present law the polls arr
never congcsted.
The first vote on the bill stood

the Democrats against il. with Sen

1NE laUNDRl1D YEARS AG4

The following message was yester- day transmitted hy the President of the United States to both Houses of Congress.
 To the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United States:
 Peace having happily taken place between the United States and Great Britain, it is desirable to guard against accidents, which, during the periods of war in Europe, might tend to in terrupt it; and it is believed in par t1cular that the navigation of A1neri- can vessels exclusively by American seamen, either natives or such as are already natura.lized would not only conduce to the amendment of that object. but also, to increase the num- to render commerce and navigation Independent of the service of for eigners, who might be recalled by their governments, under circum- stances most inconvenient to the United States. I recommend the sub Ject, therefore. to the consideration of Congress, and, in deciding upon it, I and persuaded that they will sufficient ly estimate the policy of Inanifesting to the world a desire on all occasions, to cultivate harmony with other na- tions, by any reasonable accommoda,- tions, which do not impair the enjoy ment of any of the essential rights of a free and independent people. The example of the part of the American government next will merit, and may be expected to receive reciprocal attention from all the friendly powers of Europe.
 Attest JAMES MADISON,
 Feb. 18th, 1915.
 The message was read and com mitted in each house.
 The Constitution, Wasp, Hornet, Peacock and syren, are the only United States vessels now at sea. The latter has been absent 12 months, and was on the coast of Africa in May last, since which time nothing has been heard from her.

REHABILITATION IS CHIEF WORK OF THE

According to the directors Of the Charity Organization Society, one of the conspicuous features of it's work is what it does to place g. poor fam fly on it's feet and start it on the way tU self-support. James G. Lud1unn of the International Silver Go, and a member of the society's board. says that without this work of the society the public would have no way Of knowing what family is deserving Of support or which is an inpositor Mir. LudIuTn said:
 Every busy man does more or less for charity. He has not the time to investigate the various de- nands made on him. but does the best he can, and is positively certain that a large portion of his charity is going to undesirable persons. With the Charity Oreanfzatfon Society ia

RUNAWAY.

About 5 o'clock yesterday after noon we were startled by terrible chatter in Water street, and in a mo- ment there came rushing by at full speed, two fine looking horses, drag ging after them large lumber-box wagon. Just in front of Stevensor1's store one of the forward wheels struck the wagon of Messrs. Ambler, of TrumbuI1, and the aforesaid wheel was left behind in a sadly dilapfdated condition, no damage being sustained by the Ambler team, beyond a gem. eral shaking up of the harness By this time there was a general scat tering in Water Street,-sone teams were driven onto sidewalks, others in to alleys, and everything was made snug as possible, so as not to impede the grand charge of the heavy artil- lery from rDodgintowTl,' On, pe1I me1l, went the horses,-clatter, thu1nps bang, the wagon on three weels. At the corner of Union street the horses came to the right-about, and dashed into Main street, up which they swung at a furious pace, until they brought up with a crash just in front of the Connecticut Bank, that sent one of them to the ground, and put a stop to their further progress. When their flight was summariIy arrested, they were pointing straight for the entrance of the bank, and it must ever remain a matter of doubt whether they were in search of a h
 cense from our estimable City Clerk for circus /performance, or were seized with g. patriotic equine idea of investing with the equally estimable and irreistib1y good-looking Cashier of the Bank in what is advertised as the "new and popular 7-30 1oap''
