Worthington
Wreck on Annabelle Branch.

Wreck on AnnabelIe Branch.
A wreck occurred on the Annabelle
branch at about 9 o'clock Friday even
ing. The particulars as near as can
be obtained are about as follows: The
operator of the gasoline car made q
trip to meet the 1894 nterurban car
in order to convey Mrs. A G. Beeson,
daughter and a child 70 Annabelle-
On the return trip the car met two
persons who desired 20 get to the trac-
ton stop in order to catch a car for
Fairmont and in order to accommo-
date them the operator started back
with them and the other passengers
In the meantime the freight train had
started for Annabelle unaware that
the motor car was returning. When
near the residence OF L. Y. Reamer
they met in head on collision on a
curve. The men on the car and Mrs
Beeson jumped but the younger daugh-
ter was unable to get on the car. We
understand Mrs. Beeson and her
daughter were injured but how seri-
Gus we could not learn.

NoN-pARrrsAN LEAGUE MEETING.

last night at a meeting Of the Non-Partisan
League, 5O4 Market street, at which MIR.
Hutchinson outlined the plans OF his
department assuring his hearers that the
Shipping Board was not only author ized
to build shlps, but was also clothed with
power TO build homes for the men who are
helping build ships, or where 1t was deemed
more exr,edient to commander or re-
QUESTION houses Mr. Hutchinson also
made IL verv clear To his hearers that his
coming here Yesterday was due 70 the fact
that he had been requested 10 investigate
conditions here for himself He came,
and accompanied by members Of the
Voters Non-Partisan League, Central
Labor Union, officials Of the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation, the Pusey 4
Jones Co. and other concerns interested
IN shipbulding, personally investigated
number of cases IN which the shlpyard
employees have been gwen notice to vacate
their homes today and had no place TO
move. Each Of these cases will be taken
care Of by the company OF which the
tenant is an employe. These men had been
advised not to move.
representative Connolly, who reviewed
the situation, said the fight was not against
ANY Itdl tStdtt vi CriiCi
whose increase in rentals was a just one,
but against those who are believed to
have advanced rents beyond reasonable
proportions.
Announcement was made that at least
fifty cases brought to the attention Of
the Non-Partisan League have been
adjusted through that organization, and
that numerous other cases will probably
be settled this morning without recourse
to court
Every one who has just grievance
was urged 10 present it to the league, and
where they have received notice to vacate
ane have no place TO go to sit tight"
and the league will fight the case.
Representatives Of the Pusey 4 Jones
Company and the Bethlehem Shipbuild-
ing Company were present and urged the
shipyard men TO present their grievances
direct to the company by which they are
employed.
City Councilman Harry P Cathcart
reviewed the situation briefly and told
the audience that City Council Is backing
them in this fight, and invited any one
having grievance to- let Council hear OF 1T.

interest in the movement to sec that
tenants get Justice, explains bis views
ss follows:
at il impossible to dncovcr defcnae
which tho landlords can nsivance for such
An abnormal increase in reIts, which has
taken pIscs m and shout Wilmington
within a short ar,ace of time and unless
such iucreaecs cnn be justified on the
ground that the return on tho cnpltnl

reflect uucn the patriotism Of the owners
Our country II in a war to the finish with
the mott powerful antagonists tho world
has produced, and 1t IS manifcstly the
duty OF cnch citizen to do what he or she
can 10 help win the war. Any act which
does not tend 10 tins end fs open 10 criti-
cisnr
at has been estimated that for each
effective unit at the front ten are required
to keep this unit effective. Should the
United States place five million men under
arms. the continual effort of fifty million
will be needed to maintain this army, or
over half our total population. These
war workers must be comfortably housed
and at reasonable rentals; otherwise, they
cannot put forth their best Efforts and
the bows at the front and On the sea nnfst
suffer.
Therefore, the quertion Of improper
rentals. which hae been investigated by
the Voters Non-Partissn League and the
Central Labor Union, n vital orr, ne 1T
strikes at the nations heart. The
house owncrs who rent their properties
are entitled only to fair and reasonable
return on their investment and should not
