been beseiged by large delegations ar
guing both pro and con, with the re-
suit that the fact was plain 10 the av-
erage member that there was about
an equal division of opinion as to the
merits Of the case in question, and
the proposition. be it good or bad,
was defeated In the important ques-
ton of maintaining a paid fire de-
partment there was bitter opposition,
and the proposition was lost. In the
proposal to reform the school laws
for the city at several terms, the per-
sistent and earnest fight against any
change, accomplished the purpose of
those who desired to see the old and
unsatisfactory system continued. In
the matter of self government, it has
been viciously fought by those for
and those against who ascribed sinis-
ter purposes TO be back of the efforts
being made. Would the result have
been different with greater represen-
tation in the legislature for Whining
ton? We believe that il would not
but on the contrary It would have
been the source for much vicious leg
islation. To the people in rural Del
aware it appears that Wilmington
needs a better system of city govern
nent, rather than more representa- /
ion. Wilmington needs several |
hings worse than increased member
ihip in the legislature. Get right,
start right, but do not attempt to
the purpose behind the
,ersistent demand for increased rep
for the City of Whining
on. No referendum for rural Della
-are, and no yielding of the safe
uard through and by legislative rep /
esentation is well grounded with {
lral citizens of the state. The effort I
, put these across will have to be {
let and settled once again, and it =
ould be as well to have it come up '

BOWERS BEACH

The eventful day at the old resor
Big Thursday is past so far as thi.
year is concerned and to say the leas
it was a whopper.
The weather conditions were, fav-
orable and the people from near anC
from far were in evidence. Since au-
tOmobile traffic has taken precedence
of all other means of transportation
that come to the resort; the people
came from the adjoining states in
great numbers as was plainly seen by
the cars that were here from different
states Pennsylvania was largely rep
resented quite a number from New
Jersey, a few from New, York, a great
many from Maryland, a number from
Virginia and Delaware held her end
up.
Being that all the one way of prog
ress it was not difficult job to count
the cars that entered the town from
early morning until nightfall; which
was done by two persons and the
number totalled, over four thousand
and they were loaded with human
freight.
The most remarkable thing about
the whole affair there was not
rumpus or fight or an accident or an
arrest made on an occasion for it dur
ing the whole affair.
The police and traffic officers did
noble work on the day and received
the appreciation of all good meaning
people the officers were under the
charge of J. P. Cross, and his subor-
dinants. were Gorden Lehman, J. NJ.
BOuldens, and Alfred Davis. Thus the
day passed quietly and peacefully and
will be remembered as the greatest
day of the resort.
The amusement features were bet
ter and some of them new to many
were much enjoyed. The hydroplane
was on hand and was busy all day
taking people out or otherwise up and

Honest Taxicab Driver
Returns $4,000 Violin
Francis Macmillen Says Com.
pany Is Lucky to Employ
.IOseph Birnbauln

Francis Macmillen, the violinist, who
lives at $50 West 124th Street, con-
graduated the Twentieth Century Taxi
cab Company yesterday on having Jo-
seph Rirnbaum in its employ. Birn-
baum, he is sure, not only is honest,
but knows a thing or two about violins
and the love they inspire in their
owners
Mr.. Macmilen is sure about this, for
his 5000 Stradivarius went for ride
alone in Birnbaum's taxi Friday night
and was returned by the driver yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Macmillen said he
had given Birnbaum reward that
such integrity merits" but he also
wanted to bruit abroad the virtues of
the taxi driver, who certainly must be a
violinist ct heart.
The violin was left in Birnbaum S
ta,; bv Mr.. Macmllen's brother, Samuel
Macml.len. Ec teleohoned to the COM
pany and was assured every effort
would be made to find it.
Otto Gutfreund. treasurer of the
taxicab company, sent circular letter
by special delivery to ail drivers, mott
flying them of the loss of the instru-
ment, but before the letters were de-
livered Birnbaum hSd discovered the
violin and returned it.
