limits Of the city Of Wilmington, when
the first request for an increase to six
cents, and for which due notice had
been given. could have been granted

Third. That said Board OF Public
Utility Commissioners persistently held
its meetings (about midday when it
well knew the public at large. partlcu-

OF an increase OF fare to seven cents.
Fifth. That said Board Of Public

said board, TO vote for said increase in

moyal from said district said Clarence
r. Holt was not at the time Of voting
on said increase In fare a legal member

 Shoddy in Clothing
 Senator Chamberlain cited what he said was another instance. of ineffi- ciency in the failure of the government to accept wool offered when war was declared. Later, he said, when it had gotten into the hands of spectators, the wool was bought by the govern ment at higher prices.
 Senator Nardaman, democrat, asked who was responsible for use of shoddy in the army clothing. Mir. Chamber lain replied that Mir. Eisenman, chair man of the supplies committee, advis-

 Letter Causes Emotion
 Senator and galleries were moved to expressions of emotion as Senator Chamberlain read a letter to Senator Wadsworth.
 The writer, whose name was not given. said he was notified through friends t,lat his son was ill six days after he had been taken to the camp hospital. He was first permitted to see the boy through window, and the first sight appalled, him. The room and bed were filthy, he wrote. and the patient had not been bathed for eight days. His requests for nurse or to permit himself to aid his son were refused, the writer stated, but finally he was told he might provide clean clothing. When he returned his sons face and hands had been washed.
 The next day he returned again and an attendant was trying to give the patient water from a bowl. When the father intervened, the attendant said: q guess I better get a funnel" an0 actually returned with paper funnel. / The father stopped that and suggested a spoon. Fifteen minutes later the son
