SCHOOL BOARD
BILL DIES IN SENATE

Der would be in closer touch with the
members Of his race and would, there
fore, be able 10 accomplish more bene-
flcial results for them.
senator Gormley contended that it
would be just as reasonable TO provide
that the board should consist of an
Italian. Pole, a Greek, etc, and he
questioned the eonstitutionality OF the
amendment, asking Attorney Hope for
his opinion on that point.
senator Handy pointed out that there
was no comparison between Greeks,
Poles, etc, and members Of the colored
race, as the former had an opportunity
10 be elected to the board. which was
denied 10 the latter.
senator Gormley asked how colored
members OF the board were barred
under the blu, and senator Handy re-
Piled that they were barred in the
hearts OF some men, as no matter what
their qualifications might be- the white
race would not support them.
Senator Robertson praised the good
work that has been accomplished by
the colored member Of the present
board, and pointed ont that where the
members were elected at large as the
bill provided, and a cOlored man ran for
the office, he would have no chance
even though he stood head and should
ers above the other candidates intel
lectually.
senator Gormley again requested an
opinion from the attorney, and Mr,
Hope declared he had looked at the
Constitution but could find nothing
that would make the amendment un-
constitutional The amendment was
then adopted by vote OF II yeas TO
nays, with senator Price not voting.
The vote follows: Yeas, Senators Al
lee, Bennett, Brown, Handy, Long, Pal
mer, Pool, Robertson, Walker. Webster
and Short; nays, Senator's Gormley,
Hollett, Latta, Murphy and Richa DIS.
Senator Robertson then explained how
the bill would work if enacted. His

STATE HOUSE. DOVER. March &c.
Although there were large number OF
bills on the calendar TO be acted on
the Senate while recessiug at II o'clock
yesterday until 30 o'clock, the body
was not called TO order until about 2.3O
o'clock yeste day afternoon. All this
time was wasted and II was claimed
that some OF the Republican Senators
were peeyed because Of the defeat OF
the State Council Of Defense repeater.
They are said 10 have spent the time
trying TO secure sufficient votes with
which 10 reconsider the vote by which
the bill was killed.
After adopting an amendment to tho
bill that would have given the Negro
race Of Wilmington representation upon
the board IL created, the Senate yester-
day afternoon killed senator Robert
sons bill 10 reorganize the Wilmington
Board OF Education by abollshing the
present system Of eleeting thirteen
members by wards and providing for
a board or five members 10 be eelcted
at large. The vote on the bill was

Long. Robertson, Walker, Webster and
short voting in The Affirmative and Sem
ators Alice, Bennett, Gormley, Handy,
Hollett Latta, Murphy. Palmer. Pool
Price and Richards in the negative.
After the bill had been given final
reading, Senator Robertson offered his
amendment. which provided that one Of
the five members should be a mem
Der OF the colored race. He pointed out
that they comprised fifteen or eighteen
per cent. Of the population Of Whining
ton, and Il was only fair that they
should be represented on the board,
also pointing out that a colored mem

talk was brief, as the bill was thor
oughly explained at public hearing
before the senate several weeks ago.
Senator oGrmley pointed out that
under the provisions OF the bill the
board so created would have approxi-
mately a million dollars at its disposal
TO expend for better schools each year,
and declared that if the present board
had that amount II could also make a
good showing The bin was then killed.
The Senate also killed Senator Rob
ertson's bill authorizing Wilmington
City Council TO collect taxes from GER
tain persons, flrmS and corporations, by
a vote Of yeas TO s nays, II requiring
a two-thirds vote. The negative votes
were senators Byown, GOrmley, Hol-
lett, Latia, Long, Murphy Pool ana
Price. Senator Robertson advocated the
bill and senator Gormley opposed II
ON the ground that the powers I con-
ferred upoh Council were too broad.
senator Bennett believed Council could
have an the authority necessary so II
would not have TO run the Legislature.
