The Physicians and Surgeons
Hospital needs $4,000 cash TO assure

hospital on the Mckay property,
South Broome street.
A public spirited citizen has pre-
sented the hospital with a block Of
stock in a large corporation. The
stock is listed ard is worth much
more than the $4,000 needed. But
conditions i'm financial circles are
such now that the banks are reluct-
ant to loan money on stocks as col
lateral, and the hospital therefore
has been unable to borrow the
amount desired from the banks.
The hospital officials have decid-
ed to appeal to the public to loan
SSOO0 and will give the shares Of
stock it has in hand and a mortgage
on the hospital properties as secur-
ity for the amount borrowed. Ar
rangements could be made for sew

No Fear of Water Famine.
Assurance Is given by S. N. Van
Trump. chief engineer Of the City
Water Department. that Wilmington
need not fear for its water supply
because OF the prolonged drought.
With a minimum flow OF 10000
600 gallons daily in the Brandywine,
the principal source of the city's
supply, there is no danger Of a short
age. according to Mr.. VanTrump. At
present the city is using only about
14,0O0,000 gallons daily. Temporary
shutdown of the GLAZED kid plants
tends 10 minimize water consump-
tion. During the war from $4,000
600 to 20,OOO,OO0 gallons a day were
used.
Water Department records show
there have been longer dry spells
In this section Of the country. nut
they have occurred later in the sum-
mer. If the present drought should
have occurred later in the season.
results might have been different,
it was explained, because all the
tributaries TO the Brandywine at
this season usually are filled from
the winter rains.

The drought is the longest for
June that Delaware has experienced
for 35 years. There has been long
droughts in late summer in recent
years, but none near as severe as
the present one in June. A long dry
spell in June probably doess more
actual damage than in any other
month because of the fact that most
crops are just at that state when
they most need moisture.

Charles sudler Richards. Of
Georgetown.
OF the foregoing Senator wolcott
and Mr.. Harrington are Democrats
and Chief Justice Pennewin and
Mr. Richards are Republicans
The greatest interest centers in the
senate's action on the appointment
Of Senator wolcott as Chancellor
Much opposition developed to his
appointment. and because of the
criticism Senator Wolcott wrote a
letter to Governor Denney asking
him to reconsider his announcement
he would appoint Mr.. Wolcott The
Governor. however, has asserted
publicly he will send Mr.. wolcotts
confirmation to the Senate. and will
leave the responsibility up to that
body
Advocates of the confirmation of
Mr.. Wolcott as Chancellor predicted
today he will be confirmed by the
Senate. They say at least ten Of
the seventeen members of the Sem
ate will vote to confirm Wolcott.
On the other hand, Senator j.
Carey Palmer and Senator I. d.
Short, of Sussex County. who with
Senator Charles ID. Murphy Of Kent
are leading the opposition to VOL
colt, predict he will lack several
votes of the nine necessary to con-
firm af hn
cede only five sure votes for VOL
cott's confirmation.
That the other three appointments
will be confirmed is generally ac-
cepted, although some opposition
may develop to one Of the appointees
it is minded. Opponents of VOL
colts confirmation will try to
force consideration of the appoint
ments in open session of the Sen
ate. Heretofore such appointments
have been acted on in executive ses-
sion, behind closed doors. Whether
an open or secret session shall be
held is for the Senators Themselves
to determine. The constitution en-
powers the Legislature to sit behind
closed doors if it deems necessary
to consider certain subjects and the
Senate rules provide for executiv,
sessions to act on the Governors ap.
pointments. A majority of the
Senator's however. could provide fol
a public session to consider the ap-
pointments. Some of the Wolcott
advocates hinted today they might
favor an open session, they reason
: ing the opponents of Mr.. Wolcott
would he reluctant to question VOL
cott's ability or fitness for the chan
| cellorship in open session.
There was some talk today that
an attempt might be made to hold q
caucus of Republican Senators OF
| the judicial nominations.
Six of the Republican Senators
\ are said to be opposed to confrma.
tion Of Wolcott, four are said ~ be
for confirmation. and one is classec
as doubtful. Most of the Demo.
