the belief prevails that City Council

Dr.. Frederick p. Ruhl, secretary Of the

would reduce danger Of spreading the

CITY MAY GET
COST PLUS SHOP

VIII Wilmington have chain OF
"cash and carry" ten per cent. profit
stores There is some possibility that
this dream may become q reality In
the near future.
It was announced last night at the
meeting OF City Council by Councilman
Abrahsms, that r. w. Wood. repre-
sentIng the firm OF Frederick p. Bell.
owner Of ten small-proft stores in
Philadelphia, was In Wilmington yes
terday, looking at real estate and con-
ferring with Mr.. Abrahams on this
problem. The visitor looked at several
saloon properties, one Of which was the
Hotel Mullin, for which the owner
wanted Si25,000. II was also learned
that the Y. W. c.. A. cafeteria building
at Ninth and Shipley streets, could be
rented for $4,000 a year. The proprie-
tor Of the Hotel Wilmington also wants
this sum per year for the rental Of his
saloon property.
Mr. Wood said that premises were
wanted large enough TO accommodate
big crowds and TO provide a separate
entrance and exit to avoid congestion.
The stock will also be extensive and
take up much room, he said.
The stores are run on the basis Of
10 per cent. gross profit above the cost
Of the goods. All expenses Of premises.
maintenance and clerks are paid from
this percentage and only what is left
goes to the owner as net profit. Il was
stated that the stores have proved en-
tirely successful elsewhere and that

given thirty days notice to vacate his
home. yet after years OF service l am
given only ten days notice to move"
Captain Cross said that he might have
"a longer statement to make later. 1t
was intimated this morning by friends
Of Captain Gross that he would refuse
to quit as Warden at the workhouse,
basing his action on the fact that the
Grand Jury had held the trustees equal
ly responsible with himself for the con-
ditiOns at the wOrkhOuse, and It was
manifestly wrong, therefore, he should
be made their goat"
When former Judge Ball was seen this
morning he said that beyond the fact
that the trustees had unanimously
voted TO ask Tor the resignation Of
Captain Cross and had given him ten
days TO leave the workhouse, he had
nothing to say. He declined to make
any statement whatever as to any
course OF action by the trustees con-
cerning themselves, ana tlieir own con-
tinIanee in their positions. His atti-
tu, \ apparently was that the trustees
left their own case entirely up TO
Judges Rice, Heisel and Conrad, to
whom they presented a report in re-
ply to the structures of the grand Jury.
In other words, the board Stands pat, -
while at the same time ousting Cross.
Warden Cross's family consists Of his
wife, who is matron Of the workhOuse,
and whose resignation from that post
has not been asked, and q son and
daughter. The son is in naval
school. To friends the warden pointed
out that il was almost impossible for
any man with a family 10 find a home
or suitable quarters in Wilmington or
vicinity on ten days notice, such as
given him By the board Of trustees. Sew
eral of his friends raised the question
if he could not legally retain his quar-
ters at the workhouse until juno %, in
asmuch as the quarters comprise his
domlcile, LEASED" to him by the trus-
tees when he became warden
Cross friends further pointed out that
the warden never yet had been given
a hearing by the trustees, that he had
thus never been given opportunity to
give his side or defense. 10 also was said
there were many members Of the grand
jury who, while they believed censure
was due the trustees and Cross for the
escape Of Price and other conditions at
the workhouse, nevertheless favored
his retention as warden, provided the
trustees put into effect the recon-
mendations for improvement Of the
system at the wOrkhouse contained in
their report to the court

had responded with both the fire ap-
paratus. at once stretched their line of
hose to the water tanks OF the Penn

pumping station at Ruthby was noti-
fled Of the flre and asked to LEND as

This action saved the row Of frame
houses adjoining the Dun home, al

adjoining The Duff residence was aflre

however, took the precaution TO re-
move their household goods.
Little If anything Of value was saved
from The Duf home, the fire making

could be saved. In addition to the de-
slcoped furniture, several thousand Of

covered by insurance. The loss on The

and paid a rental of s25 a month for
the house. which has no bathroom or
toilet, and no water except in the base
ment. There is a garage in the rear

ed. Later. however, she stated that Mr.
Maisano approached NJ. Barney, wish
ing to know if he would not also rent
The garage NJ. Barney declined, say
ing that he would have no use for his
building. Mr.. Maisano is alleged, by
Mrs. Barney to have said: Il want SO
more for the garage. You take it and
rent 1t TO some one else"
But I don't want # that way" Mr..
Barney is alleged 10 have replied.
Then gel out" said the landlord, ac-
cording TO Mrs. Barney.
Mrs. Barney stated that a short time
later. the owner grew more iractable,
and again endeavored to get her hus-
band TO. rent the garage, which he re-
fused TO do. Finally the owner lost
patience. and told them that they would
have TO move. Approaching Mr.. Barney
one day recently, he is said to have re-
marked that if Barney would sign an
agreement to give thirty days notice, or
cash in lieu thereof. he would sign an
agreement not to move the family our
at less than thirty days notice.
