Negative answers from the Gov enor's office and the MarshaPs of fee last night to the Interrogation wnether funds or men were avail aole for running down the fiendisn murder of the Brown woman on Dauglas Island Wednesday only served to intensity the feeling of (. nEemnation that has ben rampant fc years in this great territory on d count of negligence on the part ot the government in failing to grlyda funds for running to earth murderers and persons committing 4.roc.ous crimes.

SAINT GEORGE OPERA
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

1t seems to be the unanimous opin-
ion of all those in attendance ut the
Robin Hood opera presented last ev-
ening by the Dixie Academy in the
auditorium of the B. A. C. and to be
repeated this evening, that the piece
is one of the best things seen here in
a long time. The house was crowded
to the doors last night, all the re-
served seats being taken two or three
days in advance, and practically ev-
erything is sold again for tonight's
performance.
The company comprises more than
go members, ten automobiles being
required to transport them.
The band and orchestra music is
very exceptional and praise worthy,
and all the individual roles as we'll as
the chorus work We're we'll sustained.
The leading roles, handled by DR..
d. A. McGregor and Miss Crosby, do
them much credit.
Taken all together, the opera comes
well up to the claims made for it, and
we are very glad to have our Dixie
friends and neighbors visit US in this
connection.

MAY UTILIZE SILVER
REEF TAILINGS DUMPS

Ounce X. Kimball passed through
Cedar yesterday en- route to Silver
Reef, where Mr. Kimball goes to ex-
anime the old failing dumps that were
made when that noted silver camp was
large producer. In the past five or
six years there have been number of
different experts examine and test
these dumps with view of installing
system that would extract the val
ues that were lost when the mills were
working. Up to the present time, no
one has undertaken TO recover these
lost values in silver and mercury,
partly on account of the low price of
these metals Now that silver has
moved up at least ten cents an ounce
and is likely to go still higher, and
quicksilver has gone up more than
ak times itsformer value, the chances
are that the tailings can be handled
at profit.
Mr.. Kimball and associates have a
system on the centrifugal plan that
they claim will save as high as 80
per cent of the values. The matter of
crushing being eliminated and the
tonnage to be handled a large one,
with reasonable values in the tailings
it seems probable that there will be
some activity in the old camp again.
If the examination is satisfactory,
preparations for work will move right
along.

or the original pleas for the passage
of the shipping bill hardly a vestige

emergency measure to meet conditions

That was back in times remotest blue
But as matter of fact. its chronology
was so linked with the deplorable
Furuseth-La Toilette misfortune that
the inference was inevitable that there
existed some latent connection be-
tween the two legislative gems.
After an enactment calculated to
drive private enterprise out OF the
merchant marine field the shipping
bill was pushed with the argument
that private enterprise would not so

the great argument was urgency.
There must be Immediately created at
the taxpayers expense a great mer-

trading venture. There was not time
TO build the ships. They must be pur-

They must be bought az once and put
under the American flag.
And above all urgency was impera

by pocketing the loss demonstratedly
incident to every Government trading
adventure within the memory of man.
Then it was discovered that this
was about the shortest available cut

nation in the world: and nearly every

Here the urgency took another tack.
We needed the ships for our navy.
We were informed i'm a momentOus

ought to be glad to lose money
through the Government trading sieve
for the sake of having auxiliary naval
vessels. But the Senate talked the
nuisance into a cOmatose state and in

of it for once and all.
Yet with a persistence little short

scHOOL CnILDREN Am ATHLrTIcs.

VHTlIMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL students should have
w convenient and properly equipped athletic field.
Every day gives emphasis to that fact.
no time should be lost in providing it through pub
Tic or private funds dedicated to that purpose.
TO the pupils especially the boys. there is no side
Of High School life that appeals more strongly than
that having to do with athletics. II is the side that
makes The pupils strong physically and fit mentally
and gives TO them school spirit they would not other
wise possess.
And yet. Notwithstanding the school has baseball
football and other teams there is scarcely foot Of
ground that those pupils call their own for in
-<;ulgcnce in outdoor athletics. They forced to
usc at an times on suGcraucc and sometimes on hire
the ball grounds at Front and Union streets which
probably viii be thing Of the past seek prac-
tico and game at Rockford Park some
vacant lot.
II accepted in an enlightened cities that school
athletics should be promoted and yet here in Will
mngton provision has been made for outdoor ath-
lcca and until the addition TO the High School has
been completed. there viii be none for indoor oth-
lotcs.
In view Of the financial distress OF the Board Of Edu-
cation the rupls have little TO hope for from that
quarter. II might not be amiss TO suggest however,
that If some wealthy Wilmngtonim wishes to rear for
himself a monument that will he lasting and that will
cause him be remembered. with love and gratitude,
by thousands OF bows and girls. he cannot do better
than to give TO public schools conveniently stu-
aed athletic field. similar in general respects to the
Joe Frazer Field Delaware College 1t is not right
for a city OF 100000 inhabitants and public school
enrolment Of approximately 10000 to be without such
a field, which, II donated by some private individual,
should bear his name the OF someone near
and dear to him whose memory he desires to honor
and perpotuate.
Wilmington has many valuable assets well worthy
of conservation None Of them, however is vaua-
bic as its child life the conservation of which ample
facility for indulgence in athletic sports will prove an
important factor
with due Difference we submit the above to those
who have the ability and the willingness to give in
the hope that it will be productive of good to our city
school children along the line suggested.
