Acting upon the complaint ~ several

clerk of he city markets, are investi-
eating the alleged use in Wilmington II
short weights and measures. Their ac-
tivities are directed chiefly along the
line Of coal deliveries because IL has
been repeatedly asserted that some coal
dealers are delivering less than 1000
pounds for short ton OF coal
They found more than one OF the
dealers here "shortweighing, and IN
some cases the ton was considerable,
short OF two thousand pounds" it was
stated. The main discrepancy. IL is
understood, was found in coal that had
been bagged for carrying in. It is said
that according to the method OF some
dealers the bag was always weighed
as coal, but the bag was sent back to
the dealer.
Announcement was made by the au-
thority of the clerk Of the market and

days ago, that after a cOnsLl tatiOn with

Church COLLECTION
TO AID IN WAR WORK
Bishop Kinsmsn Entertains
ClergymeD, Their Wives
and Layman
LUNCHEON AT NOON
AT TRINITY CHURCH

Bishop Frederick ]. Idnsman, OF the
Protestant Episcopal diocese OF Della
ware. entertained at luncheon at noon
today in the Parish House Of Trinity
Episcopal Church for the clergy and
their wives and representative laymen
and women Of the diocese. The an
nouncement was made by the bishop
that the Episcopal Church had asked
that all churches In It's membership
take up a collection on Septagesims,
the third Sunday before Lent, for the
work Of the Church War Commission,
and had asked for $500 from the par
ishes in the Diocese OF Delaware. This
collection will be taken.
In advocating the matter. the bishop
gave an eloquent and impressive talk
upon the influence OF religion in war
times. He said the y. NJ. C.. A. work
did not overlap the work OF the
churches I'm any way. There was a
special place for the work OF all the
churches. lie dwet particularly upon
the effect OF the war in bringing the
different churches into a cooperation,
Where they were Ignoring differences,
and he thought this closer unity would
he one OF the good results Of the war
As an example he spoke Of his own re-
cent experiences where he presided at
a knights Of Columbus banquet, and sat
between two Presbyterians and another
occasion in a Methodist church, where
he sat between prominent Catholic,
who was presiding, and an equally
prominent Jew, while a Congregation
alist deacon made the address OF the
evening
The bishop spoke Of the war as a
crusade, and the work of the war COM
mission as a sending Of the Episcopal
Church to the battle front. He said
the young soldiers were now facing
grim perils, and many temptations. and
il the church ever would do any good
IL could do IL now. lie spoke OF the
gratitude Of the soldiers for the help
OF the chaplains.

During the past year approximately
$500 Witnesses were examined by At
torney-General David J. Renhardt and
Deputy Acknowledgement Percy Warren
Green for the six terms Of the Court
OF the Court Of General Sessions form
ing an extremely strenuous year for the
States prosecutors For the September
term OF court alone IL Is estimated that
about 100 witnesses were examined by
the officials That all the work was
cleared up on time for each term Of
court attests to the expeditions manner
in which Mr.. Green and Mr.. Reinhardt
labored. The year in every way marked
labOri0us one for the courts before
which there were 326 eases including
almost every type Of criminal.
The services OF the attorney General
and his deputy We're also notable be
cause Of the large sum OF money they
saved the county on witness fees. They
have adopted a policy whereby the
Oflire OF the attorney-genera sits the
week previous to the opening Of court
10 hear Witnesses instead OF having all
the witnesses report on the first day Of
the court. AT their sitting they ex-
anime the Witnesses swear them for
the grand jury and hear the indict-
menis.
I'm this way certain number are
summoned 10 report each day-a NUM-
Der that can be heard i'm one day by
the onlce-lnstead Of having the entire
batch Of. Witnesses appear I'm court
every day until they are heard At
their examination the witnesses are
told on what day OF the court term
to return Thus few witnesses are
called into court for a stretch OF very
many days. and q considerable amount
of money has been saved the county,
besides expediting The work of the at
torney generals office aud relieving the
congestion that was heretofore a dis
agreeable feature during the first week
or two Of court.
Il is estimated that at least 81 800
was saved in witness fees on the Sep
