NO CARS FOR SALE.
Outsiders Waiting to Buy Those Seizet
Under "Dry Law.

The Delaware law relating to the cor
fiscation of automobiles in which liquo
is seized has evidently been heard of
Philadelphia, for w. Truxton Boyce
Federal Prohibition Commissioner, toda,
received request from an Indian o.
that city, asking that Mr. Boyce keep him
in mind if any cars are to be disposed OF
cheaply
MIR. Boyce replied that the man would
be kept in mind. The writer, in his letter
explained that he sells medicine and that
he wishes the machine for use in travel
ing abo 1T the country.
The application is the result of an ar
ticlo in the newspapers to the effect that
n number of automobiles, both trucks and
touring cars, are being held by the pro-
hibition authorities and that they Will be
disposed of. -,
In his reply, Mr.. Boyce explained that
the machines in question would be turned
over to the Encouragement as their
seizure is made under "A state law, and theu
disposition must be made through the
office of the attorney general.

STATE SOCIALISTS
TO HAVE TICKET
They Adopted a Platform for the
Campaign at a Convention
Last Night.

Socialists of Delaware adopted plat
form at state convention IN their head
quarters, Sl5 Market street, last evening.
The party proposes to put a full ticket IN
the field, and referendum 20 nominate
candidates is now under way. The ticket
will be made up when the referendum is
tailed Friday, July Q. The platform m
dorses the national candidates OF the
Socialists. Eugene V, Debs, who is con-
ductng his campaign for President arom
prison, and Seymour Stedman, his running
mate, for Nice-President.
On local issues the Socialist platform is
outspoken. Home rule for Wilmington is
one of the principal planks, and 1T urges
representation in the General Assembly
ON the basis of population ana not oi
acreage. In accordance with the traoi-
fional Socialist stand on woman suffrage,
the platform states we denounce ana
condemn as unworthy and blot on the
the fair name of Delaware, the recent
exhibition in Dover of narrow bigotry
and archaic beliefs when the State As
semblv refused 10 grant the woman OF the
nitcd States and the state OF Delaware
the right 20 vote at the coming election
The Socialists seem TO favor the school
code in the provision approving. an
measures designed TO raise the qualty oi
education in Delaware. The contract
labor system in use at the workhouse Is
condemned and the whipplng-post brand
ed as disgrace. To solve the housing
problem the Socialists propose 20 tax the
''inearned increment of land, and to
taN land not in use at its full rental value
The platform closes with Endorsement of
the initiative, referendum and recall, the
Plumb Plan for the railroads and the
ar,rid maintenance of the constitutional
rights of free speech, free press and free
asscmblage'

TO CONFER WITH RAILROADS

During a lull in the Council pro-
ceedings last Monday evening, Presi-
dent Chattle brought up the matter
of better protection for our citizens
at the railroad crossings in Pleasant
vile. After quite a lengthy discussion
of the matter, Councilman James in
troduced a resolution empowering the
Mayor and President Chattle to enter
into negotiations with the proper ofic-
ials to establish continuous Waterman
service at the crossings at New Road,
Main street and Franklin avenue on
both roads, and also one at Doughty
road on the electric line. The resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted.
Councilman Peck also introduced a
resolution requesting that bells be
placed at the Shadeland avenue cross
ing of the Shore Fast Line. 1t is at
this crossing that several fatal acct
dents have occurred.
