SHELL SHOCK VICTIM

Effects of Emil Walt Disclose
Nearest Relative Lives in
Vermont.

Any mystery surrounding the. life of
Emil Waiting, also known as Emil Hem
rikson, who died at the Delaware Hos
pital. Saturday night, suffering from shell
shock, has been dissipated. The effects
of the dead man turned over To the coro-
ner indicate that he used two names and
that he served in an English engineer
regiment, although other papers tend to
disagree with this.
Waiting, according to friends, has
travelled all over the world, having spent
much of his life as a sea-faring man. One
of the letters shows he had served with
English troops a number of soldiers, ask
ing to be remembered to him and who
expressed surprise at his return to Eng
land, they thinking, according TO the
letter that he had left for RUSSIA.
Among the mans effects are alien
registration cards which he used in Glas-
gov, Scotland, and Cardiff, Wales. Coro-
ner Bullock is trying to locate relatives
Ii is known that he has a hrother-in-law,
Alex Saari, West Sandgate, Arlington,
Vt. The coroner will notify the brother-n-
law and unless advised to the contrary
the body will be buried in Potters field
There are several insurance policies,
which he had taken out in Sweden, and
which according to receipts are paid up.
One of the policies is for 1000 Kroner
formerly equivalent to about $500
That Waiting was on good terms with
his brother-in-law is indicated in the corre-
spondence which shows that the dead
man had often been asked to visit Saari,

TRANSFERS DEMAND.
Explain Why They Are Asking for In
creased Pay.

Wilmington teamsters have decided
that beginning April ) the charge for q
two-horse team will be raised to 81 % an
hour, and for a single vehicle the rate per
hour will be 75 cents. This decision was
reached at meeting of the Teamsters
Association of Wilmington. in Iiish-
American Hall on March 9. They declare
that they are underpaid and have not
been treated Justly since 1918. 1t is
asserted that in 1918, when they were
receiving a wage of 75 cents an hour, or
SO for an eight-hour day, they were forced
by the increased cost of living to ask for
81 an hour, which was granted. However,
they charge that their increase Of 81
day, as applied, practically consisted of
but an increase Of cents an hour, as the
work day was extended from eight to ten
hours
Since their last rate adjustment, they
say, the cost of labor, horse shoeing and
repairs generally has risen even higher,
while harness now costs twice as much as
formerly Feed particularly hay, is now
costing $50 a ton, while mill feed for the
horses is costing between $50 and $50
ton. In the face of all these rising prices,
the Teamsters' Association feels that the
public will consider the new rate of Sl.25
an hour for nine-hour day justified rate.

APPROVE WIDENING
OF TWO STREETS
Washington and Front to be I'm
proved Amend Step"
Area.

The Directors of the Street and Sewer
department today adopted resolution
calling for the widening of Washington
street from II to IA and Front street from
Poplar to Church.
The directors also took steps to guard
against encroachments oi property owners
who are likely to want to build steps IN
front of the homes. The old area for steps,
extending not more than one foot from the
building line, ran from Walnut to Tatnall
and from Front to Eleventh. Now the
area by amendment introduced by Direc-
tor r. II. Grier. will extend from Front to
the Brandywine and from Walnut to
Madison streets.
The offer of the Kiwanis Club to furnish
so signs, and fourteen street standards
in order to denote street traffic was re-
ceived and letter of thanks directed sent
TO the club.
a letter was received from the Wash
ington street Bridge Commission asking
that something be done relative to the
approaches to Van Buren, street bridge
because of the fact that Washington bridge
will be out of service while the new struc-
ture is building
Leonza Bayliss, asked that grades be
established for the street at 32d and Pine

The Wilmington Gas Company was
given permission to seek for gas leaks by
opening the streets at East 22d between
Market and Lammot and Washington

fore the directors and asked that they be

PHYSICIANS TO MEET.
County Association Will Discuss Legisla-
tiOn Tonight.

The New Castle County Medical A
sociation will bold a meeting tonight
at which proposed legislation will be dis
cussed.
Some of the members are advocating
that the Legislature repeal the klair law
and amend the Loose law so that it will
not apply to Wilmington.
All phases of the matter will be dis.
cussed it is understood, by members of
the association and probably by one or
two lawyers also.
The meeting will be held in the Board
of Education rooms at City Hall. There
will be an interes ting discussion OF the
prohibition laws, both of the United States
and the State of Delaware. Proceeding
the discussion two papers will be read
de aling with the subject.
Attorney Philip l.. Garrett will offer n
resume of the Federal and State laws and
render n legal Interpretation. Druggist N.
b. Danforth will offer another resume of
the same laws rs cffecting physicians
and druggists.
The County Medical Society is not
opposed to prohibition but they are, said
DIR. w. Edwin Bird, the secretary, today,
opposed to the Delaware Sta te law, which,
he held, prohibits physicians to prescribe
alcohol or alcoholic stimulant even in
cases where the physician deems it abso-
lutely necessary He further said that
the society will urge the repeal of that
law or the particularly offensive clause,
or seek to have the law amended. "The
law itself is unconstitutional in this re-
spect," DR.. Bird declared. "The State
constitution does not grant the right to
the Legislature to enact any law against
the use of alcoholic liquors either for medi-
cinal or sacremental purposes but docs
say emphatically that the Legislature
shall not enact such law and if the law is
taken to the courts the case of the State
would fall fat.
DR. Alfred Stengel, professor of medi-
cine at University of Pennsylvania, was
expected to be present at the meeting
and read paper on Diseases of the
Heart, but he is prevented from doing so
through illness and the reading of the
paper will be delegated To someone else.
