The chorus cheered the good news

feet reaching the leader on Monday.
Mr.. Barnhart always brings a touch
from the military camps with him,
making the chorus feel their connco-
tlon with the army activities In keep
ing up community spirit and common
Interest In the welfare Of the country
He said one Of the most interesting
things about the camp life was the way
the boys appreciated anything done for
them by folks outside. do they really
care that much about us9" he had
heard the boys ask.
He urged the people OF Wilmington 20
Join the chorus and keep Il up all sum-
mer as a service 20 their country, say
ing the government was doing all IN lie
power 10 get these choruses established
all over the country Mr.. Barnhart
said one OF the saddest things he had
found In America was the unwilling
ness Of some OF ITS people TO practice
the democracy they praised. He thought
music was the best meeting ground 10
persuade all people 10 mingie with
their fellowmen and practice the de-
mocrscy the boys are dying for.

demands that Il be buoyant and NOV
Ing right along He refuses 10 lead a
solemn faced chorus. they have 20
smile sxteriorly and interlorly. Clear
ness OF enunciRtion. olesn-cut words, is
another thing that he both practices
and breaches. In spite OF heat and
thunder storms, the chorus sang lubil-
sntly last night. ending with the usua
fine singing OF ABIDE With Ne.

PUSHED TO death
UNDER LOCOMOTIVE
CONTINUED From FIRST Pase.)

Delaware Hospital last night. The
young man had bis right arm severed
at the elbow under the wheels Of the
engine at the time.
The workmen employed at the HaSsan
plant, who have TO cross the railroad
tracks, have caused several bad scares
TO the train crews operating there late
ly and IN order to prevent any acct
dents. the gates leading to the ship
building plant yards are kept closed
until the shop whistles blow at quit
ting time.
This does not prevent the worEen
from gathering at the gates. however,
and on Monday Saatman who was
standing IN the front line, was push
ed through the gates and directly in
front Of the approaching shifter engine.
Before he could regain his feet, the
engine had struck him.
The Phoenix ambulance removed the
injured man to the Delaware Hospital
at once and an operation was perform
ed but the young man continued 10
grow worse and died last night. The
body was claimed by relatives.
At the time Of the accident, the hos
pitsl authorities said the mans name
was Charles Zebley.

So PER CAPITA FOR
RED CROSS FUND
Continued From First PAGE.


for a large share Of Mr.. Scotts un-
stinted praise. The Bank" which
handled all the subscriptions and
pledges worked night and day and the
final tabulation shows that virtually no
mistakes were made. This was due 10
a large measure to a system Of account
ing and Bookkeeping organized by John
r. Porter, assistant comptroller Of the
dupont Company. who, since the last
Red Cross campaign, has been chief
accountant Of the Pennsylvania Division
of the American Red Cross. Mr. Porter.
while handling the divisions accounts
made a number Of suggestions which
slmpliled the work Of the campaign and
made the keeping Of records by team
members and team captains much
easier. HIS forms and his plan were
adopted by the National Red Cross or
ganlZatlon and were IN operation last
week throughout the country.
The advertising during the campsign
was done by William C. Nesbitt and was
handled so effectively and so smoothly
that Mr.. Scott feels that much Of the
success was due TO this formal presen-
tation of the Red Cross pleas 10 the
community.
Charles Topkis was an indefatigable
worker, and full Of novel ideas which
the chairman publicly praised at sew
eral Of the luncheons. Harlan @. Scott.
Edmund Mitchell and William dupont,
other members Of the executive COM
mlttee were, Mr. Scott says, most help
ful In the work
Aside from the committee members,
Pierre 6. dupont and John J RRskob
were unofficial but very important ad-
vlsors to the campaign management. |
Mr. Scott says that he came to depend
on them quite as much az on those who
were oflcially recognized as members
Of his campaign organization.

FIGURING ON TAX
RATE FOR NEW YEAR
Councilmen Hope TO Keep
Figure Within the
$I.75 Mark
ALL DEPARTMENTS
WANT MORE MONEY

That the requests OF the city depart
ments for Increases In their yearly
budgets for the year, beginning July 4,
iois, and ending June 90, 1919, are large
and numerous Is the opinion OF mem
bers Of the finance committee OF City
Council. who are now wrestling with
the requests.
Increased budgets OF twelve of the
city departments aggregate si.672ii5 as
compared with a grand total for al pur-
poses OF last year Of si.5si.ii436. Ac-
cordins TO the budget Of last year there
were 33 different items or departments
taken care Of.
Members Of the finance committee Of
Council will meet tonight, and Il ls
expected the budget will be presented
to City Council at their session tomor-
row evening and the tax rate for the en-
suing year fixed AZ the present time
the rate Is si.35 on the 500 assessment,
but Il ls contendsd that n every re-
quest Is SLOWED Il would mean an In
crease in the tax rate TO $3.50 or more
on every 800 assessment.
One large item this year Is the amount
OF money which went 10 the Sinking
Fund for the redemption OF bonds. Last
year ssi.s29 was allowed for this pur-
poss, but the report OF the city treas
urer shows that ST. $50 VIII be needed
for this purpose this year In addition
TO this the Board OF Water Commission
ers must pay on $4,000 Of bonds next
year. Whether this will be provided
for In the budget or taken care OF next
year by refunding Is not known at this
time
The largest request for funds so far
received comes from the Board OF
Water Commissioners, but, as was ex-
planned In their budget to the Council
men, OF the amount needed $40. 100 Is
needed for the extension OF water mains
10 the tracts now being devoted 10 new
housing. Many Of the Councilmen have
expressed themselves as favorlng this
extra appropriation. II being field that
the expense would be returned TO the
city within twelve years.
The amount asked for by the Street
and Sewer Department, Is e7e,00O above
that asked FOR last year II IS under
stood that money TO be collected this
year for street paving work will total
about $4,000. but under the law this
money is 10 be used for street improve
ments
Another item that Is causing N,
councilmen some thought is that Of tn
Board Of Public Education. which body
desires about s25.5O0 additional with
which TO readlust the salaries OF tn
school teachers and ianltors. The
school teachers have asked for an add
tionsl $1,000 for the teachers pension
fund, which now receives $4,000.
