STUDENT 5 Case

While there was apparently no
favorable change at noon today in the
condition of Thomas r. Wilson. Jr..
the Delaware College student who had
his neck broken in a wrestling bout
with a fellow student at Newark, on
Tuesday evening, the fact of the young
student being entirely conscious at
all times and his cheerfulness and
thoughtfulness for every one around
him. has raised a hope with his par
ents and relatives that there is a pos
sible chance Of helping him.
With this idea in view. DR.. J. A.
De Costa, a noted specialist OF Jeffer-
son Hospital. Philadelphia, has been
called in consultation. DR.. De Costa

Mrs. Henry B. ThOmp-
son Sends Protest to
City Council Against
WreCking Of the His
tOriC Structure
JOHN P. NIELDS ALSO
ACTIVE in MOVEMENT

st. Johns Chapter, No. 4, Royal
Arch Masons, went on record last
last night. at its semi-annual banquet,
as being Inalterably opposed to the
destruction of the old city hall, which
was the birthplace of the Grand
Lodge of Masons of Delaware.
Between It's and 200 members of
the chapter we're present at the ban
quet. Il was held in the large ban
quet hall on the fourth floor of the
Masonic Temple. Oscar D. Ridings,
High Priest presided. Among them
we're many of the most prominent
professional and business men Of this
city. The protest against the destruc-
tion of the old building was in the
shape OF a rising vote in which every
man present participated. Every word
spoken was in favor OF the preservs-
tion Of the building When the ques-
tion was asked: Shall we permit it to
be destroyed?" there were shouts Of
No" in all parts of the hall.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the Royal Arch Masons by
City Treasurer William J. Highheld,
a member Of the chapter and Wor-
shipful Master-elect OF Corinthian
Lodge. He said he thought it would
be a shame for City Council TO do
anything that would lead to the de-
struction OF a building that had served
as a civic centre for this city since
179S. As he viewed II. Il should be
preserved for pOsterity, because of its
long and intimate association with
the history and growth of this munich
pality In view of the fact that the
Grand Masonic Lodge of Delaware
was instituted in the building in 1906,
and its first grand master was in
stalled there, Mr. Highfeld said he
thought that Delaware Masons should
take an active part in saving the
building from destruction.
The City Treasurer then called upon
George Carter, editor of THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL to advance reasons
why the Masonic bodies should pro
test against the destruction of the
building and do everything possible
10 prevent it,
Mr.. Carter said that in 1906 rep
resentatives of the several blue
lodges in this State assembled in the
City Hall building and decided to or
eanize a Grand Lodge. Temporary
organization was effected and subse
sequently the Grand Lodge was or
ganized. in due and ancient form, witt
