be the policy Of the Aldine TO carry
out this idea"

One of Robert Sedgwick's de-

in 1746, was a statesman Of note Il
is interesting to note that, although
he was forced to leave Yale College
without his degree because of some
trivial misdemeanor, he later re-
ceived an honorary LII. d. from
Princeton. Two sons and one daugh-
ter Of this Theodore Sedgwick gained
note, and no less than five other
members of this branch Of the Sedg-
wick family are noted in an Amer
ican biographical dictionary. The
Sedgwicks seem to have a peculiar
aptitude for law and craftsmanship

What is the origin of the name
Toombs? This is such a gloomy
name and I am wondering If it has
the origin the spelling suggests.
This name was originally Tones
or Toms, and is merely a patronymic
OF Toms. It is the equivalent Of

STILL AFTER
that 1919 TAX
State Treasurer to Turn
Over 10000 Bills to
Magistrates
WILL ASK THEM
TO BRING SUIT

State Treasurer Fisher win hand
to the various magistrates the names
Of from nine to ten thousand delin-
quent taxables. on June Is, for col
lection, with orders to bring suit on
the same. Most of these bills are
for the disputed balance on the 1919
tax, and already a number OF tax
ables have announced their intention
OF fighting the payment of the tax
Former Attorney General David j.
Reinhardt, gave an opinion that the
amendment TO the income tax law
passed in 1919 increasing the ex-
emption amount from $1,000 to
$4,000 and also providing other ex-
emptions applied TO the 1919 tax
payable in 1920. Attorney General
Townsend after taking Office last
winter gave the State Treasurer a
contrary opinion holding the amend
ment did not apply to 1919.
After receiving this opinion State
Treasurer Fisher sent out bills to
thousands of taxables, who had paid
their income tax based on the old
law, for the remainder said to be
due the State under the Townsend
opinion. Few haye paid any at
tention to these bills. They con-
tend they paid all they were asked to
pay under the law and will not pay
more for that year unless forced to
do so by legal procedure. It looks
like a busy time ahead for Magi-
strates if they attempt to force col
lections.
The remainder of the accounts are
for 1917 and 1918 taxes. Announce
ment is also made that per cent
will be added to the face of the bills
for 1920 income taxes on June is.

is 1T sEDGwICK?

The name Sedgwick is from the
Anglo-Saxon secg and vic. meaning
"sedgy" and place; so the first of
the name was a dweller in sedgy
places or it may be that the first
of the name took his name from a
place called Sedgwick because of the
sedgy place on which it was located,
and that the actual significance of
the name other than as place name
has little to do with him. In fact,
the place so called may no longer
have been sedgy when the name was
taken as a surname.
The founder of the American fam
lily of the name was Robert Sedg-
wick, born in England in 1890. He
was a soldier by profession and set
tied in Charlestown, Mass, in 1895,
where he was one of the founders
of the Ancient and Honorable Artil-
lery Company in 1886. He became its
commander in 1641, and commander
of all the Massachusetts militia in
1862. So much ability did he display
in this capacity that Cromwell ap-
pointed him Governor OF Jamaica,

TENANTS FLEE

Firemen Have Trouble Lo-

Roof
LINCOLN STREET
HOUSES DAMAGED

Fire Of undetermined origin at ia
and 116 North Lincoln streets, about
o'clock this morning, caused dam
ages of approximately $4,000, only
partially covered by insurance
An alarm was struck from Box
1853, Lancaster avenue and Union
streets, at 6.55 o'clock, the Delaware
Truck. Water Witch. Weccacoe and
Union fire companies responding.
When the fremen arrived, the
flames had reached the roofs of the
two houses, and smoke, sweeping
along under the roof. escaping at
every opening. made 1t appear as
though the entire row Of houses was
on fire. Considerable excitement was
occasioned by the report that several
children were asleep upstairs, but
fremen. lighting their way through
the sitting air, hastily searched the
upper rooms, hut every one was out.
The firemen were greatly ham
pered at first, as the fire had gotten
under the tin roof and it was rather
difficult to locate the section that
was on fire. BY cutting holes through
the roof and deluging the houses
with water, in addition to the chem
ical streams the fire was soon out.
The house at ia North Lincoln
street. is owned by Charles T..
Schultz. and tenanted by william
Mccormick. The loss on the building
is $1,000. which is insured; on the
furniture, $1,000 also, uninsured.
Mrs. Emma l.. Hammond owns 116
North Lincoln street, which is ten
anted by Frederick j. Marine. The
loss on the building, which is COW
cred by insurance, is $1,000; the loss
on the furniture $1,000. uninsured.
Coming in the early morning. a
number OF the occupants OF each
house were caught in bed and were
compelled to fee to the street in
their nightclothes.
While the cause Of the fire has not
yet been determined. Fire Chief Lutz
said that il appeared to have orig
mated from a chimney between the
two properties.
Chief Lutz said splendid service
was given by the firemen, and but
for their prompt response the whole
row would soon have been on fire,
as the flames were spreading along
the roof when the fromen arrived.
