d. C. Rose and j. H. Ellison, men,

threw the orange toward him Tor her)
Close observation showed a vicious
set of teeth and study revealed an

short piece of chain. Descriptions OF
the creature when repeated to loca'

confronted by man with shot
gun whereupon he put on all speed
and escaped despite threat to
blow out his brains.
Mr.. Burris Immediately notified
chief of police James w. Thomp-
son Of this town, who deputized
Osborn Banning and started IN
search of the culprit. They search
ed all roads leading from Newark

back toward Newark under threat
that if he did not obey they woulC
blow his brains out. Wilson obeyec
and when he arrived at Newarl

WOULD HAVE
ENERGETIC YOUNG
MAN FOR PASTOR
Bishop Cook Considers New
ark Strategic Parish in
Diocese

official visit to st. Thomas s Church |
last Sunday. He celebrated cor
porate communion at O'Clock, |
visited the Sunday School for a !
short time at 10 o'clock, and at IL
O'Clock preached. At this service
he also confirmed a class Of five,
four of whom were the Churchman
sisters, Misses Rebecca, Catherine,
Dorothy and Caroline, daughters
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Church
man. The other member Of the
class was William Van Ehren.
The sermon was on the miracle
Of the loaves and fishes.
+ A congregational meeting fol-
lowed the morning service. Both
during his sermon and later at a
congregational meeting held in the
parish house Bishop Cook COM
mended the work done by Mr..
Haupt as rector of st. Thomas
parish. In his sermon he said the
people of the parish are to be con-
graduated that they have had the
services Of Mr.. Haupt, and that it
was to be regretted that he finds it
necessary to sever his connection
with st. Thomas to go to other
fields. He spoke Of his organizing
the choir and building up the Sun
day school.
At the congregational meeting
called to discuss plans for getting
a new rector, Bishop Cook presid-
ed. In opening the meeting he
said st. Thomas, because of the
growth of the colleges, was one of
the most important in the diocese,
and that he would like to see a
rector secured who could build on
the foundation laid by Mr.. Haupt.
He remarked that the "whole
service today" demonstrated the
good work of the rector.
In discussing the subject of a
new rector Bishop Cook said: 81
am eager and alert to secure man
who will take every foundation
stone already laid and build on il
and also strive to reach the college
body"
He said he had received six OF
eight letters already relative to the
rectorship, and that he was il
communication with the bureau o1
the church in New York that is In
touch with available men.
The bishop said while he did moi
propose to tell the vestry whom tt
appoint, he was anxious that the
right man be secured and though,
he should be young, active, aler
man to meet the requirements. HI
referred to the matter of salary
and asked the vestrymen to figure
out the most they could pay, bu
he laughingly added that they
must remember the cost of living
; has gone up and the cost Of clerg!
has gone up with the cost of tn
plumber, sugar, etc.
Bishop Cook intimated that i
the parish could not raise tn
amount necessary for the salary o
the kind of rector needed, tn
diocese might make up the balance
! as the work here is really broade
than just parish work because o
the two colleges.
t 1t was decided to hold a meetin
/ Of the vestry some time with,
t probably two weeks that will b
suitable to the members and also t
r Bishop Cook, to discuss candidate
: and possibly elect a rector.
As soon as the time is fixed fo
: the meeting kilograms will be ser
> to Alfred A. Curtis, senior wardel
: now in California, and David {
. Rose, another active vestrymal
', who is in Florida, telling them c
i the proposed meeting and its pul
? pose. The kilograms will be SCI

Dispute Over Insurance on Old
Crematory Erings Heated
Retorts.

Without mincing words and in very
emphatic terms. City Councilman
James B. McManus last night during
the meeting OF the Council, called
Councilman }. +. McNabb buffer
Mr.. McNabb denied the allegation and
said he wanted il understood that he
never tried to bluff but was sincere
In all he was doing and trying to do
and that he proposed TO follow the
dictates of his own mind and con-
science regardless of what any of the
other members might think about ii.
The dispute between the two menu
bers. which became very lively for
a time, was over the collection by the
city on the old bond of the Wilmington
Sanitary Company and the failure of
the city TO collect on the insurance
policy the city had on the building
and contents of the old crematory
which was destroyed by fire. Mr..
McManus had presented a letter from
City Solicitor Satterthwaite in which
he stated that he now had in his pos
session the Wilmington Sanitary Conn
pany's bond with the American Surety
Company but that it was without a
date. He explained that he would
be glad TO take up the matter of the
bonding company's liability under
this bond and to enter suit on behalf
of the city to recover on ii if he found
that there was any liability on the part
OF the bonding company.
Mr.. McManus suggested that the
letter be recorded and filed but Mr.
McNabb wanted to know the idea in
filing it. He thought they should in

There was something over 100000 In

tor gave II as his opinion that the city
could not recover more than about
$1,000. There was sum OF $4,000.
understand, collected In Insurance ON
the building and that money has never
been turned into the city treasury.
Can anyone dispute that factg Then
a man will stand 'up and say that l am
a buffer. He will find out whether or
not | am bluffing.
Il have made up my mind to get to
the bottom OF this so-called crematory
scandal. l made a pledge TO the voters
to do this. 1t has been charged that
this money was collected and IL has
never been disputed. Calling me a
buffer Is not worrying me. / want to
serve notice now l will keep harping
on this subject during the remainder
of my term until something has been
accomplished"
Mr.. McNabbs remarks were greeted
with applause from n large number of
spectators in the room.
Councilman Murray said MIR. sat

enter suit IL he found the grounds
sufficient and he thought all the dis
cussion was out of order. He said he
did not think either Mr.. McManus OF
Mr.. McNabb was right to discuss the
matter as they had been doing up tu
that time. He expressed the belief that
when man is trying 10 do the best he
| can he should not be forced to try to
do more.
| Councilman Abrahams said refer
ences TO someone trying to shield
someone else might refer TO himself
as the chairman of the old crematory
committee but he wanted everyone, he
said MIR. Abrahams was out Of order as
trying to shield anyone. Mr.. Murray
said Mr.. Abrahams was ou of order as
there was nothing in the city solici-
tors letter about shielding anyone. by
motion it was finally decided to file
the letter without further action at this
time. Mr.. McNabb was the only MEM
ber who voted against this motion.

clared It was a joke to pass mp the
matter In that way. He offered an
amendment to Mr.. McManus' motion
to file the letter. to the effect that the
Council instruct tho city solicitor to
bring suit against the bonding COM
pany. but there was no second to his
motion.
1--WE should try 10 collect some of
the insurance money paid after the
crematory fire." Mr.. McNabb said.
The bond in question is faulty be-
cause il is not dated but a few years
ago the city had OCCASION to look up
another bond and ii was found faulty.
There was a little matter of a shortage
In the tax collections and man had
given bond for the faithful perform
ance of his duty but when the bond
was looked up II was found to be
faulty. Why go to all the trouble tc
look up this bond il you are only
going TO file It,"
McNabb Not Satisfied.
Seeing that none of the other mem
bers were willing to second his amend
ment MIR. McNabb said: Boys i
looks as though you did not want I,
collect on it."
Mr.. McAfanus re-read Mr.. Satterth
waite's letter emphasizing that portion
of il which set forth he would b'
glad to bring suit il he found suiiicien
grounds for so doing. There has beer
