VIM. COYNE LEAVES
WORKHOUSE BOARD
Private Business Prompts New
Trustee to Take the
Step.

William Coyne, one of the vice
presidents Of the du Pont Company
who several months ago was appoint
ed a member of the Board of Trus-
tees of the New Castle County Work
house, to succeed DIR. Clifford Scott
resigned, today rendered his resigna-
ton as a trustee TO Judges Rice and
Heisel. He gives as his reasons the
press of personal business. Judge
Rice stated this morning that no APP
pointmept has yet been made of his
successor.
Mr.. Coyne. in his letter 10 the
judges, states: Because of added
duties that will and should absorb all
my time and energy. I beg to tender
my resignation as trustee of the New
Castle County WOrkhouse, effective at
once. Have no other reason or rea-
sons, and keenly regret the severance
of relations with my associates that
this step necessitates. My loss will
be greater than theirs.
In fairness to them and mayhap
encouragement to them, must say
that in my fairly lengthy experience.
] have never met men who are more
and efficient in the dis
charge of all their duties and in the
facing and acceptance of fun RESPONSE
biiity therefore. Their reward is not
money, not praise for well doing, but
criticism for failure. Judging by
actual results, the emoluments or the
system need not be changed"

MAY LIFT QUARANTINE
ON DOGS IN COUNTY
To be Considered With Danger
of Typhoid Fever by State
Health Board.

Lifting of the quarantine on dogs
in New Castle. county. free anti-toxir
for diphtheria and alsc immunizing
toxin for every one who wishes il
free of charge and the danger from
typhoid fever from tainted water
supplies will be most important
topics 60 be discussed at meeting OF
lhe State Board of Health this after
noon.
According TO officials of the board
there have been no cases of mad dogs
in the four hundreds of New Castle
county where the quarantine was
placed and has been supposed to
exist for four months. All of the
cases reported bitten by supposed
rabid CANNES have been cleared up
without any fatalities. and the board
will likely lift the quarantine
The board will also endeavor to ar
range at this meeting to place the
diphtheria serum and immunizing
serum in every drug store in the
state where any one whether he can
afford 10 pay or not may secure it.
Regarding typhoid fever, it was
reported that there are five towns in
the state where the public drinking
water supply is contaminated In
some instances this is due to sewerage
leaking into the source of supply and
in other cases from generally inn
pure water. The board has at times
notified the citizens to make arrange
ments to remove the pumping station
from the infected section or make
some other arrangement To keep the
water pure.
There are other matters that the
board will consider among them be-
ing change in them ethod OF regis
tration. Another is the doing away
with sub-registrars because of the
expense. A third matter refers to the
question of fumigation of homes
where contagious diseases have
existed. Many cities are doing away
with the fumigation, because il has
been found that IN plenty of instances
the fumiEation process does not prove
successful as preventative OF the
disease being contracted In place Of
the fumigation. the board suggests
mH~ care in the handling of the
parents and the refuse.

RAILROADS TO GET
s5OO,OOO,OOO SOON.
MELLON ANNOUNCES
Secretary Outlines Plans for
Relieving Transporta-
ton Lines.
TO APPEAL TO CONGRESS

by Associated Press 70 Every Evening
Washington, July 7.--TreAsury
Secretary Mellon announced today
that under a provisional refunding ar
rangcment made with the railroad ex-
eeuti1es. the carriers would receive
five hundred million in additional adj
vances from the federal government
within the next six months.
Mr.. Mellon said the negotiations
with the railroad executives probably
would ba completed within two days
and that the advances contemplated
would give 10 the railroads in cash,
sums Of money equivalent 70 those
which the government spent in capt.
tai betterments during the period Of
war time control. The government
will receive for the advances six per
cent security evidenoing the indebted
ness of the particular railroads which
receive the advances. II was ex-
planned.
All Of the claims and counter claims
between the individual. railroads and
the government arising out Of main
tenance expenditures during the con-
troll period are involved in the nego-
tiations. Mr.. Mellon indicated. and
where arrangements for an advance
are completed some sort of a com
promise agreement will result in each
case to clear up the outstanding diff
ferences.
Mr.. Mellon Indicated that additional
appropriations would be sought from
Congress TO make the advances, al
though the treasur will be able to
meet portion OF the requirements out
of funds now available or by virtue Of
the authority to borrow already given
in various laws governing the re-
Ia tons Of the government 90 rail-
road operations.
Mr. Mellon said he believed the ad-
vances to the roads would be bene-
fetal 10 the general financial situa-
tion and might assist in n resumption
Of business activity. In many cases.
ne said, the advances would enable
the railYad to pay outstanding debts
to industrial companies for supplies
used during the past year. and would
in addition furnish funds for the bet
terment Of equipment and repair Of
negieeted railroad property.
In the long run he added, the
would obtain net profit
from the advances since the money
necessary could be borrowed at a.
lower interest rate than the securities
which the railroads return 70 the
government would bear. Railroad
securities now held by the treasury.
he said. amounted to approximately
four hundred million dollars and in
terest and capital payments had beer
regularly met on all OF them, giving
the government an income Of about
eighteen million dollars year.
In the negotiations with treasury
r. Dewitt CuyDr. president
of the Association Of Hallway
Executives. represented the railroads
generally, Mr.. Mellon said. but officials
and attorneys for individual cor
porations were called into the dis
cussions.
