GREAT 'PENNSY'
FREIGHT YARD At
EDGE MOOR SOON

The p, B. & w. Railroad Company
Is planning to start work soon on the
enlargement Of its Edge Moor yards, a
project that viii cost more than mil
lion dollars at the least.
Under the project as outlined the
Edge Moor yards are to be extended to
Gordon Heights and will be widened at
the upper end TO extend to the Della
ware river.
The project was originated more
than year ago by the p, B. & w. Rail-
road officials, but has been held in
abeyance because OF war conditions.
Now that the Government has taken
over the railroads, the Railroad Admin
istration has been confronted with the
necessity Of greatly enlarged yard IA
cilItles to help relieve traffic problems.
The Maryland division Of tho p, B. &
w. Railroad has proved one Of the most
important lines in the United States in
handling war traffic. and the Edge Moor
yards have established record for the
entire Pennsylvania Railroad system in
handling the greatest number OF cars of
freight.
To provide space for the expanded
yards tho railroad company VIII take
over several properties in that section.
The properties to be acquired, 1t Is un-
derstood, are those OF the Preston Lea
estate. some OF the land owned by Will
liam F. Sellers and the Gordon Heights
mark property OF the Whining
ton Steamboat Company. The latter is
one OF the most beautiful groves along
the Delaware river. 1t comprises ten
acres and has river frontage OF 10000
feet. Back in 1896 IL was operated by
The steamboat company as an amuse-
ment park, when the cOmpanys steam
boats stopped there and trolley line
from Wilmington entered the park. In
recent years 1t has been the quarters
for the Wilmington Yacht Club and Tor
The Hercules Powder Club.
Il has been reported that the railroad
company may build great coaling piers
al Gordon Heights park as part OF the
proiect now in contemplation. One OF
the features OF We comprehensive plan
Is the construction OF long bridge
over the tracks at Edge Moor station
that will do away with the grade
crossing there.

STOCKHOLM, Juiy Dissatisfaction
OF Ambassador Mirbach was only the
first step in a plot by Russian terrorIsts

Before I left Petrograd, heard Of

This plot appeared so improbable at

of the left.
Kamkoff in a recent conversation
with Bolshevik leaders was warned 10
quit his agitation against Premier
Lenine.
I'VE are prepared TO finish you before
you touch us" Kamkoff is quoted as
replying.
Members OF the Left inside the gov
ernment have learned Of a definite al
lance between the Bolsheviki and Ger
meny against internal opposition and
the Entente. The defense Of the Boil
sheviH by German newspapers. in con-
nectiOn with Mlrbach's murder tends to
prove such an alliance.
A concrete union Of both the Fighters
and Letters with the Mensheviki against
the Bolsheviki. is now to be expected.
Kerensky's visit to Count Isvolsky in
Paris has excited stirring attack on
the former Premier In Russian news
papers. They demand to know in whose
name Kerensky is acting abroad. Ke-
rensky is not taken seriously in Russia
and is discredlted in all political camps.

.C0RfETIST HELPS
COMMUNITY SING

A sea Of faces. thousands OF voices,
again greeted Harry Barnhart director
at the Community Sing. last night in
the Public Building square. The at
tendance at the outdoor sings is grow
ing so rapidly that the chorus will
soon rival those i'm New York. Every
one has discovered that the sings are
the best Of fun, and those who come are
anxiOns not TO miss one OF them. The
large number OF men In the crowd was
one Of the impressive facts about last
nights sing. Mr.. Barnhart was delight
ed, and thinks the Wilmington sing is
a proposition that will give cause for
jealousy to other cities.
The community was given a treat
last night in the solo numbers by Vim
cent BuonO, OF New York City. Mr..
BuonO is the leading cornetist with the
Columbia Grafonola Company. As an
encore to his operatIc selections, the
cOrnetlst played the popular air" I
hear you calling me-" The crowd ap-
plauded to the echo.
Much OF the success OF the Com
munity Sing has been due TO the untir-
ing work Of John p Nields, vicc-presi-
dent Of the executive committee. Mr..
Nields has devoted a great deal Of time
to boosting" the chorus, particularly
the attendance, and to seeing that all
arrangements have been made, and the
suggestions OF the leader carried out.
Every Tuesday night Mr. Nields may
be seen with an armload OF song sheets
passing through the crowd and seeing
that everyone is supplied. Last night
was the last time Of the vice-presi-
dents civilian appearance at the sing,
as he has been called to Washington,
where he will be stationed in the
ordnance department with the rank OF
captain.
The entire community gave thanks
to Thomas w. Wilson. superintendent
of the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company last night, for re-
routing the street cars so lat the
chorus was not interrupted by passing

JUNEAU SCHOOLS CLOSED
 BECAUSE OF EPIDEMIC

The schools of Juneau have been ordered closed until April 6, or until further notice, by the Juneau school board all children have been barred from the theaters, and public gather ings of all kinds prohibited by order of the mayor and city health officers. This was done in an effort to stamp out the epidemic of diphtheria.
 At the present time there are seven cases of diphtheria in the city, and the orders barring children from any gatherings, on the streets, or other wise, are said by the physicians of the city o be the quickest way to stamp out the disease.
 All of the patients have been quar- antined and are being cared for, but it is feared that others about the city may have been exposed and will be- come sick shortly. Every precaution possible is being taken.
 The junior prom dance of the high school has been postponed, and the parochial school has been closed until further notice. It is thought that by the end of ten days time the disease will have run it's course and it will be safe to reopen the schools
 The managers of the two theaters readily agreed that no children would be admitted to their places If amuse- ment until further notice.
