confident that they could fx It up.
The chief dlflculty, II was said. was
that the Iron Trust fund was collected
as an endowment for the alliance. At
the time the existence Of the fund was
exposed a few weeks ago. officials were
very vague as 10 tho actual reason for
It's collection. It was admitted, after
some hesitancy. that the fund was start
ed some years ago, but Just why no
body seemed 10 know.
Yesterday, however. This was all OK
planned by the statement that tho fund
was intended for administration ex-
penses. It was expected eventually TO
reach 100000, but when the war start
ed, the alliance was too busy with Ger
man propaganda to keep America out
OF the war, and other things, 10 pay
any moro attention to tho trust fund.
Names OF the representatives present
yesterday were withheld, but 10 was
announced that the following States
were represented: Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Delaware, Now York, Ne,s Jersey
North Dakota, Illinois, Wisconsin. Rhode
Island, Minnesota. In addition, Nebras-
ka, Texas and West Virginia were rep
resented by proxy.

was becoming precarious, was not
present az the meeting yesterday.
Ofncials present included DR.. Slmund
G. Won Bosse, OF Wilmington, Del, who
presided; Adolph Timm. the national
secretary, and representatives from ten
States. In addition TO these. three
States were represented by proxy. This
gave the convention" a bare quorum

Hre 25 States IN the alliance.
Members present were confident, how
ever, that despite this flimsy repre-
sentation. the States not represented
would make no objection 10 the steps
&sken for dissolution and Tor disposal
pf the alliance fund
The meeting was started yesterday
morning In the Turner's Hall. Broad
street and Columbia avenue. With an
interval for luncheon. It continued until
B o'clock yesterday afternoon, at which
time It was announced in a formal
statement that legal steps for the dlsso-
luton Of the alliance and the surrender
Of Its charter will be taken at another
session at o'clock this afternoon. The
statement follows;
1T was the sense Of those present to
dissolve the alliance, but action could
not be taken until tomorrow, as some
financial matters and obligations must
rirst finally be settled before an effective
dissolution can be taken. Another meet
ing win be held at 1 O'Clock today"
before this announcement was made,
the alliance handed out a copy Of a
resolution introduced by John Tiarks,
Of Baltimore, providing for the presen-
tation to the Red Cross OF the Iron
Trust Fund" The resolution, which
was unanimously carried. is as follows
Having $4,000 in bonds, the money
contributed TO the endowment fund OF
the alliance, and believing that the Civ

Gross would best meet the spirit anc
approval OF the donors. the officials ar,
hereby directed forthwith to transfel

FOR WAR GARDENERS

The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture IN a statement warns against
the danger Of Immediate war-garden
planting and suggests TO Wilmington
lans that they do not begin planting
their backyards and lots before next
Monday. The department fears an car
lier sowing would lay the tender plants
open to tho ravages Of a killing frost
The ground must be especially warm
for the successful growing OF certain
seeds. the statement explains, and while
little is TO be gained from an early
planting, much may be lost by the SOW.

The department recommends that at
