sequently in the same court, Mr.. Gar
rett stated.
City Solicitor Huxley claimed that
the officers were justified In entering
the barber shop without a search
warrant when they had reason TO sus-
pect that there was more liquor being
kept in the place than permitted under
the State law.
Mr.. Garrett cited a decision Of the
United States Supreme Court to sub
stantiate his contentious.
Judge Hastings, before ruling on the
question, heard the testimony OF OH
GERS Neasey and Elliott, who arrested
the men.
From the officers testimony it ap-
peared that Veasey, while riding on
a trolley car in Seventh street, noticed
DerricksOn with a rather burdensOme
suitcase and that, becoming suspicious
OF what the man might be carrying,
followed him wien he left the car at
Shlpley street. DerricksOn, ne. said
walked down Shipley street and fire.
quenuy gave cautions glances over his
shoulder and then, when he was al
most to Fourth street, started to run
and dashed into the barber shop.
observing the mans haste TO get
n the place, Ofllcer ElliOtts sus-
ons also became aroused. Elliott
entered side door to the place and
opened the front door TO allow Veasey
in. Derrickson and Gillespie were
found sitting In a small room In the
rear OF the barber shop and six-bot-
ties OF gin and two OF whisky were
found there. Gillespie is said to have
admitted that the liquor belonged ia
him.
The front door OF the place was
broken. It S contended by the de
PENDANTS that Neasey broke il to gel
in. The officer maintains that Der
rlckson broke it in his haste to enter
the shop.
Neasey admitted that the only war
rant he had was a John Doe" war

For Bi-Partisan-Citizen
Act
ONE WOULD PROVIDE
ELECTIVE MANAGER

Several bills providing a new city
charter for Wilmington. in, addition
TO the one which has been approved
Jointly by the Bipartisan and Citi-
zens Committees, are now expected
10 be introduced in the Legislature at
Dover. should the measure drawn
Dy tne committees fail OF passage
way thus would be left open for con
sluerathOn by the lawmakers OF some
ouer form Of municipal government
FOR the city.
Ohe OF the proposed new measures
u Is understood, will provide for lie
election OF a may0g, or city manager
with power 10 appoint five commits
sioners. This would be Just the re-
verse to the plan outlined in the .
.mittees' bill, which provides for Oh
election OF five commissioners, VIII
would appoint a city manager. Still
.another act which Is said to be favor
ed by some citizens, would retain u G
present Mayor and City Council gov.
ernment, but would reduce the num-
Der Of Councilmen and provide for
their election at large instead Of by
wards as now.
Although Colonel George w. Sparks
chairman OF the Bipartisan Commit
tee, has pledged support to the FIVE
issioner-mandatory city-managel
plan, adopted by the Bipartisan and
Citizens committees, nevertheless he
has from the first frankly expressed I
preference for a system by which
some one official, known as mayor
city manager or almost any titlh,
should be elected. who would be al
most entirely responsible for manage
ment OF the city, and who should ap-
noint cabinet or advisory board tc
assist him.
When he spoke on city government
before the Chamber OF Comlner,SS,e &c,
some weeks ago, Mayor Frederick w;
Donnelly, OF Trenton, said he Delleve9i
