scholars CO BACK
To School MONDAY
after LONG REST

After having been closed for five
weeks, owing to the infantile paraly-
sis quarantine the public schools Of
Wilmington will be reopened on Mon
day. the Board of Health having lifted
the ban. The original schedule call
ed for the schools to open on Tues
day. September 5. the day after Labor
Day. At that time infantile paralysis
was prevalent in the city and yicin-
ity and the health authorities deemed
II best TO keep the school closed as
precautionary step
Since the order was issued yester-
day allowing the schools to open on
Monday, DR.. Clifford J. Scott. super
intendent and other officials have
been working out the details for the
resuming of school work.
The total enrolment in the schools
last year was 1880 ana 1t is expect
ed that there will be a material N
crease in the enrolment this year.
Scarcity of labor and delay in ship
ment Of steel has handicapped work
on the High School annex, which will
not be completed for many weeks
The crowded conditions OF the
schools of last year cannot be helped
much until the High School annex is
completed. It is likely that pupils in
many schools will have to double mp.
All the school buildings have been
renovated and nut in good cOndi ton

WARRANTSSWORNOUT
FOR FIVE BAKERS
Inspector Mcknight Charges
Them With selling Short
Weight Bread
WILL BOOST PRICE TO
SIX CENTS RETAIL

Charging them with selling short
weight bread, William j. Mcknight,
city inspector Of we. gifts and meas
ures. this morning swore out war
rants before Magistrate Lawrence }.
Broman for the arrest of the Huber
Baking Company, Ideal Baking Com
pany, Ninth and Poplar streets; Kolb
Baking Company, Philadelphia, VII
liam Freebooter Baking Company and
jeremiah NJ Moynihan, No. 1874
French street.
The State law provides that every
loaf of bread sold in the State must
weigh at least one pound. Mr.. Nc
Knight who swore out the warrants
this morning, stated he made an in
vestigation OF the bread that was be-
ing put out by those for whom he
swore out warrants this morning and
not loaf examined weighed more
than thirteen ounces. The warrants
had not all been served at noon. The
hearings will probably be set for
Tuesday night.
Mr. Mcknight said that he warned
all local bakers several days ago that
beginning today he would prosecute
all who sold loaves Of bread weighing
less than one pound. He claimed that
the bakers wanted him to wait until
next Tuesday to give them an oppor-
tunity to adjust their machinery and
equipment for baking the pound
loaves. but that he insisted the add
iustment must be made by today. He
also stated that he consulted Dep
uty Attorney General Armon ID. ebay
ter, Jr.. about the matter some time
ago. and that while Mr.. ChaytOr real
lied the cost OF -four had advanced
considerable. yet he said the law was
clear that all loaves weigh one pound,
and that II was up to the inspector
to prosecute those who sold loaves
weighing less.
The manager OF one OF the large
baking companies, when asked by
representative of THE EVENING
JOURNAL this morning what they
proposed to do. expressed much sur
prise when told that warrants had
been sworn out He said that some
Of the bakers had an understanding
with Mr.. Mcknight. that they would
be allowed until next Tuesday to ad-
just matters in cases where It had
been found that some loaves were I'M
der one pound weight.
This manager explained that with
-four at the present price it was i'm.
possible for them to manufacture a
loaf Of bread weighing one pound at
a profit He said they had talked over
the matte rwith Mr.. Mcknight and
they stated that they would turn out
one pound loaves starting next Tues
day and that the price be advanced to
six cents a loaf retail. This means
that the bakers will sell the lOaves to
retailers for five cents instead OF four
cents a loaf He said the bakers had
no idea of testing the law that re-
quires all loaves OF bread TO weigh
not less than one pound. While the
law fixes the minimum weight it does
not set any price.

HARRINGTON, Del. Oct. with
claims being made by Democratic
leaders as to majorities they will run
up at the coming election, such claims
cannot possibly be backed up, ac-
cOrding to the Republican canvass Of
Kent county, which shows, notwith-
standing apparent differences in the
ranks, the organization to be we'll in
the lead in the contest Aside from
this, there is an undercurrent of dis
satisfaction over the nominations by
the State Convention of September 5
and the result of the county pri-
maries OF September 3.
While everything is apparently go
ing smoothly on the surface with the
Democrats, in many sections of the
county not only threats of cutting,
but declarations of real knitting are
being made by Democrats who can be
relied upon to do as they say, because
of no fear OF future reward or other
promises, which have too often been
broken All Is not rosy" in the
Democratic camp Of Kent county or
Sussex county, mainly due to throw
downs and apparent ignoring of the
wishes OF the Democrats in Kent
county.
There is an indication Of more in
dependent voting by Democrats this
year than ever before and with the
dissati, faction over the Democratic
State and county tickets and with the
exceptionally strong candidates on
the State and county tickets of the
Republican party, some Democrats
are sure of defeat.
The oft-repeated "hogglng" by New
Castle county of State offices on the
Democratic ticket was manifest at the
State convention. when after securing
the candidate for United States Sena-
tor and knowing the candidate for at
tOrney- general would also be sought
by New Castle county. two Of the main
offices. the county also captured the
nomination for governor.
Sussex county. while having a candi-
date for that office. withdrew its can
didate. leaving the field open to Kent
county. from which It was supposed
the lieutenant governor would be Sc
lected inasmuch as the custom has
been to take that Office from the same
county from which the Governor is
selected
Further than that, the Democrats
OF Kent and Sussex county know lit
tie of the political record of their can
didate for lieutenant governor, other
than he was once defeated for the
legislature in his hundred, It being
said to be the first time New Castle
hundred was lost to the Democrats
The attempt OF New Castle county
also to secure the nomination of State
auditor after it had secured the
three other State officers again indi-
Gates what New Castle county would
have had on the State ticket had not
Kent and Sussex counties resented
such actions and made their demands
known in no uncertain tones.
The practical unanimity of the Re-
publieans in Kent and Sussex counties
aside from a few so-called 'indepen-
dents gives the Republicans the
feeling that they have the best chances
known to them in recent years Of win
ming a victory On November Z.
