CALEB {. BURCHENAL
ISSUES STATEMENT
Says He Has Been Unjustly Criti-
cized With Reference to Laurel
Street Houses.

With reference TO the criticisms made
in the meeting OF the mayors housing
committee, Tuesday night, by Council
man Mearns, In connection with the sale
of the houses on Laurel street, Caleb f..
Burchenal has made the following state
ment.
Il feel that / have been placed in a
very unfavorable light before the public
and unjustly so.
Il purchased the properties in ques-
tion and have sold them, and feel that
have been perfectly fair and just to all
concerned.
Every tenant had been notified to
move before | purchased the properties,
and after the house came into my pos
session | wrote the tenants, telling them
the houses were for sale and offering them
the opportunity to acquire home on
easy terms.
Not a single response WAS received
except two, who came after the properties
were sold, and whom / tried to assist, and
even after they Were placed in the hands of
a real estate agent for sale, had a repre-
sentative call upon each of the tenants
and offer to sell them the property in
which they were living, but the offer WAS
refused.
Not a single tenant appealed to me,
stating that he could not get home, and
as none responded to my communications,
j sold the properties.
"If any one of the tenants had told
me that he was unable to secure a home,
! should have sold the property with the
understanding that the tenant be allowed
to remain until able TO procure other
quarters, but none of them did So
81 thought | was helping the city by
making ii possible for number of people
with small amounts Of money to buy homes
and to thereby eliminate the dread by
them of having TO move. My intention
was TO help the city of Wilmington, and
purposely invested my money here rather
than putting it IN some corporation which
would benefit some other city.
This is not a new thing for me.
have been purchasing properties for a
number of years and selling them with
very small payments down, and IN some
cases where the people were well known TO
me, without any cash payment Not a
single one has lost his. home, and know
that have done g. great deal of good by
this method" "

ANTS CLAIM new
STRENGTH IN KENT
Say They Have Reports That
People There Are Against
Suffrage.

1--WE hear today, that the revolt agninst
suffrage has spread from Sussex to Kent
county, and that the people of that sec
tion of the State are jus. as bitter against
votes for women MS are the men and wo-
men of Sussex" That was a statement
made by prominent Delaware woman
this morning who is among the heartiest
opponents of suffrage, and who is in the
confidence of the leaders.
~ believe that if there was time, we
would be kept very busy supplying speak
ers for down State towns, the people Of
which are anxious to learn what the OPP
ponents of suffrage have TO say" continued
this worker. 1--WE have had many requests
for orators that we cannot supply in the
short time between now and Monday"
1t was announced at headquarters OF
the anti's today, that a mass meeting was
being arranged to be held at Frederica
tomorrow night. The meeting first called
for Saturday night at Harrington has been
advanced to the afternoon of that day,
rs the town hall is engaged for Saturday
evening.
IL was rumored about the headquarters
of the ants today that they were being
kept posted on a | moves that the oppo-
sition had IN mind. IL was impossible to
obtain any veriication of this rumor, as
the anti's who were asked about it, pro-
nounced it absurd. However the fact that
in several instances moves made by those
favoring suffrage have been known to
their opponents speedily, has aroused
considerable curiosity as to how the OPP
ponents of suffrage could possibly learn
to the actions contemplat d.
A move earlier in the campaign by some
one other than the woman she represented
herself to be, put the anti's on their guard
about using the telephone. A woman
called a leading opponent of suffrage on
the telephone this week and asked her
some leading questions about a move the
antis had in mind. The anti's were for
tunate as the woman questioned did not
know. When she asked the anti leader
whom the unknown woman had imper-
sonated, what she wanted to know about
a certain thing for, there was a checking
up with the result that the attempt TO
impersonate the leading anti was dis
covered.
The executive committee OF the op-
ponents of suffrage met yesterday after
noon and completed their plans for the
meeting tomorrow night. IL will be free
to the public and everyone interested for
or against suffrage are invited.

General Wood IS a strong first In New

men from various parts of the State and
all of them reported constantly growing
sentiment IN favor of General Wood. So
far as | was able to ascertain. General
Wood is the outstanding candidate In the
minds of New Jersey voters and be has
a lead so strong that it cannot be over

for believing New Jerseys twenty-eight

HOUSING LEGISLATION.
Program Agreed Upon at an Official
Conference Last Night.

The Legislature, at its special session
will be asked to enact law authorizing
City Council to pass local legislation to
regulate the housing conditions of the
city and TO protect the citizens from the
profiteering with which some landlords
are alleged to be affiliated. At a meeting
of Councils law committee, John W
Huxley, Jr., city solicitor, and representa-
tive real estate man of this city last night.
this course was decided as the only one
likely to produce beneficial results,
The condition relative to housing in
Wilmington is admittedly in a serious
way and the real estate men themselves
are fully awake to the avaricious tenden-
cies of some of the landlords
Mayor William G. Taylor's suggestion
that Council attend the legislative session
In body to emphasize their request for
law enacting authority to cover the needs
of the housing situation may be adopted
and acted upon. The fact that both
parties in Council are wor King harmonious
ly toward the one end, will go a long way
to secure the authority asked for and to
be embodied in a new State law.

ONLY SOUND PREACHERS WANTED.
No Weaklings Nor Physically Ailing for
Philad NJ E. Churches
Press Go Every Evening

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
Philadelphia, March lS- Ministers who
are candidates for admission to the Phila-
delphia conference are being subjected TO
physical examinations for the first time In
the history of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
New ministers who are not sound in
health are not wanted This new rule is
based upon the assumption that clergy
man, who is physically weak is not fitted
properly to engage in the strenuous duties
which often confront him
Another reason for physical examina-
tions is to prevent young minister from
becoming a charge upon the conference
through Interpretation by illness a few
years after beng admitted.
