The Delaware Ledger asserted that MIR.

8-HOUR POLICE DAY
MAKES HEAOWAY
Promotions and Rcdistricting Will
Clear Way for Three Shift
System.

With number of applications for pro-
motion already In and the force recruited
to normal, some action on the three shift
eight hour day, system for the police
force of this city is looked for soon. Before
the rev plan is put into effect, however,
it is necessary to rcdistrict some parts OF
the city to conform with the number OF
men available.
The Twelfth district has already been
temporarily abolished and is combined
with two other districts. The new ad-
dition TO the city of the Union Park COM
munity makes it necessary to establish
patrol districts there also as provided for
by the city council. The Twelfth and
other districts which may be abolished
will be created again after the police force
is large enough to take care of them, CHIEF
of Police Black said yesterday.
1t will also be necessary to appoint
one captain, one house sergeant, one
turnkey, one special officer, two men
for the police patrol, two men for the
ambulance and three street sergeants.
This will leave vacancies in the street
force, which under the three shift plan
would require about ~ additional men.
The only drawbacks of the plan, ac-
cording to the older men of the force. are
that il would take more reporting and
that whereas the street men are now al
lowed an hour and n quarter for lunch.
they would have to eat their meal IN their
districts while on duty.
A shift beginning at o'clock IN the
morning and ending at 3 o'clock IN the
afternoon would give the daS men their
evenings and part of the afternoon of
The evening shift men would complete
their duty at 1 o'clock and thus get home
and have a good nights sleep and be
up the next morning with the forenoon
for recreation. The night shift, from ii
o'clock at night to in the next morning
would be the only bad shift and the plan
would be such that the men would have
tis shift only once every three weeks.

DELAWARE BAR MAY
ADMIT WOMEN NOW
Ratification of Suffrage Amend
ment Carries Opportunities
for New Voters.

II has always been conceded that once
women we're given the privilege of voting
they would be entitled to hold Office.
Ratification of the Nineteenth Amend
ment holds still further opportunities for
Delaware women, members of the bar
being nearly unanimous in their opinion
that women will soon be admitted to
practice i'm the courts of the State.
In the words OF Attorney-General
Reinhardt, suffrage would carry citizen
ship, and citizenship would carry the right
TO take bar examlnati6 ms.
p. Warren Green, deputy attorney
general, believes that, wcmen being adj
mitted TO vote, restrictions against Office
holding are removed. As for service on
juries, IL is generally understood that such
service becomes duty with full citizen

New York.

 Except for covering there was little support in the winter or spring post tioEs, and these deliveries broke to a net loss of 40 to 63 points during the middle of the morning, with December selling at 1486 cents and March at 1475 cents. The buying of July around the 15-cent level was a sustaining factor. however, and the general list firmed up ir the late trading, with last prices show ing recoveries if some 20 to 90 points on most positions. No special news feature was connected with the decline by local rtaders. but the Liverpool selling here made an unfavorable impression while the continued selling account was taken by some traders as indicating further spot liquidation. This probably account ed for the pressure against the near months, which carried them to discounts as compared with late deliveries for the first time since the beginning of the war. No change was reported in the goods situation and Fall River curtail- ment for the week was estimated at t60,000 pieces.

 New Orleans, November 27.-Pressure to sell was again felt by cotton today, and the market slid off to new low levels for the season under it, January trad ing down to 13 .S5c and July to IA. 11c. The effect of the slump in interior spot mar kets yesterday was back of much of the selling, but part of it was due to the unfavorable character of weekly reviews of general trade. At the lowest levels prices were 34 to 60 points under the close of yesterday. After the middle of the session the large volume of profit-taking that came from the shorts coupled with moderate buying for long account, brought about partial recoveries. At the highest the active months were 21 points under to points over the final prices of yesterday. The market was closed at net losses for the day of 20 to 37 points.
 The feature that caused much comment was the fact that during the steadest pe- riod of the session the distant months were at premiums over the hears, July stsnd- ing at II .50c, when January stood at 1427c.
