THIS DOLLAR DAY"
BEST IN HISTORY
Merchants Report an Unusually
Heavy Business, Chiefly in
Staple Articles.

II is doubtful, according to practically
all local retail merchants, IL Wilmington
stores ever had such q big Dollar Day rs
they are having today. Clear skies and
fresh breeyes, combined with agreeable
walking conditions, brought ont the crowd
early. Breakfast dishes were left in a
pile in many homes In order to be
on hand early at the stores and get a
chance at the best offerings.
The crowds were enormous and the
stores were pleased with the spending
that WAS going on. But everywhere 1T
was reported that people rs rule were
after staples more than anything else.
LuxIries seemed 10 be playing very small
part in the demands of the people on this
bargain occasion. This was instanced at
one store where it was noticed that the
saleseirls behind the perfume counter
were actually sitting down, while all
around them, in every other department,
the shoppers seethed and spent their money
almost like reckless sailors.
There was apparently no lack of money
anywhere and yet the way people picked
over the things TO get at staples was
caution. For instance, 500 bills were
almost n drug on the market Vt one store.
One of the proprietors declared he had
never seen so many 500 bills. And the
purchases were large at tins place, as n
rule
The rush OF business and the flow of
cash was shown at another store by several
peach baskets in the cash office, into which
the money was sluiced as fast rs it came
by as many cashiers with 4 seeming reck-
less abandon that would have given a
pauper chills and fever
The throngs that crushed into the aisles
and on the stairways and in elevators
gave the stores all the trouble they could
handle in some respects and more than
enough in others. The usual vigilance
was of no avail and had 10 be almost en-
tirely aban doned in despair People
scratched among the heaps of bargains
and handed their selections over to the
nearest EN- ploye with the cash and took
their chance on time. 1t was all the em-
ployes and every one of them could do 10
wrap the goods and take the cash.

RUMORS ABOUT
POLICE CHANGES
Speculation as to the Filling Of
Vacancies in the Detective
Bureau.

President s. X. Smith OF the Board of
Police Commissioners said today that the
board has not yet made any definite
plans for changes MS a result of the dis
missal of former Sergeants Green and
King from tn detective bureau.
Meanwhile rumors of all sorts are going
the rounds. In Police circles little in
forpation can be obtained, as those
likely TO he affected refuse to discuss any
probable changes in the department.
However, some people who are close TO
what is going on do not hesitate to adj
vance theories.
report is current that the commission
is considering the advisability of discon-
tinuing the practice heretofore employed
OF having three sergeants in the Bureau
on the ground that one sergeant is better
for its efficient management and with
one possessing the proper executive ability
matters could run along more smoothly.
Closer cooperation between the bureau
and the uniformed force is said TO be
one of the aims of the commissioners ana
this Is given as the reason for their care
fulness in making their selections.
