have been little short Of scandal,
officials declare.
Even the clause permitting certain
wines to be admitted for sacramental
purposes apparently has been abused.
In the first seven months Of last year
only GS,G75 gallons of wine were I'D
mitted for this ostensible purpose, while
in the same seven months this year
some 686. .231 gallons have been admit
ted. Officials declare It is out Of rea :
son that there should be any such legit-
innate increase in the demand for the
purposes permitted under the law.
In addition there were wines of other
descriptions admitted by the tens OF
thousands of cases on legal permits for
specific purposes. On champagne, part
of which probably went to the embas-
sizes, which are immune from the pro-
hibition law, some 24,000 gallons have
been admitted this year, compared to
only 1000 in the One months last
year.
In the case of whisky, III 500 gal
Ions were admitted in the first seven
months of this year, compared to 3S. .S4r
last year in the same period. The
whisky is supposed to come purely for
medicinal purposes and is admitted or
that theory on permits applied for by
presumably responsible authorities.
Custom officers say they aren't re
sponsible, but they will seize all the
''hooch" that isn't legally" brough,
in, but when an importer presents q
permit, all they can do is permit it to
be landed after the duty is paid. The

tary confinement. Mrs. Louise Mitten-
dorf, superintendent of the reforma tory,
announced that the conspiracy was dis
covered when she intercepted letters
written to Mrs. Kaber by Miss Marian
McArdle. her daughter, who is in a
Cleveland Jail awaiting trial for COM
plicity in the murder.
According to Mrs. Mittendorf. Mrs.
Kabef smuggled out two letters through

q Jail delivery in which Mrs. Kaber
was to make good her escape. The con-
spiracy provided that violence, even the

At the meeting OF the Directors
Of the Street and Sewer Department
this morning communications were
received from Mayor Taylor and the
Central Labor Union, requesting the
directors to order extensive street
work begun in the hope of relieving
the present enforced inactivity of
city workmen. The secretary was

property owner on the street, and as
business is at standstill on that

pointed out that merchants on the
business streets Of other cities are
requesting to have the trolley tracks
removed as a menace to their busi-

placed for the running of cars north,
met with great opposition, as 1t was
pointed out by several speakers that
this would only serve to decrease
congestion on Market street with

During the meeting some refer

of King street at nights. and to the
fact that awnings now extending out

URGECHARTER
At HEARING
Friends of Bill Mobolize
For Thursday Trip to
Dover
TO DOVER BY
MOTOR CARS

Word this morning from Dover
that the Committee on Municipal
Corporations had set i o'clock
Thursday afternoon as time for a
public hearing on the bill for new
city charter for Wilmington gal
vanized members of the General
Citizens Committee into unusual
activity.
1t has been planned TO send down
90 to 100 motor loads OF charter
boosters to make a big showing in
support of the measure. There
fore, it was realized that the time
was short if anything like real
demonstration is TO be had. The
very shortness OF the notice for the
hearing served TO arouse a deter
mination on the part OF Leon
Walker, chairman of the commit
tee, and members of the body that
The city should be largely repre-
sented.
A meeting OF the entire General
Citizens Committee was called for 5
o'clock this afternoon at the Cham
ber Of Commerce. At this session
details for the pilgrimage to the
State capital in behalf OF the new
charter will be worked out.
Meanwhile. however. Mr.. Walker
announced that all persons who in
tended going to the hearing by motor
should assemble their cars on the
Tenth street side OF the dupont
Building at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, ready for the journey.
Those who prefer going by train. he
stated, should take the one leaving
the French street station at 1O.44
A. m. This train will reach Dover In
time to give the delegation oppor-
tunity for lunch before attending the
hearing.
Can also was made by Mr.. Walker
for a big turnout by the members of
the committee and all interested
citizens who own automobiles. so
that everyone who wished to go to
the hearing by motor may be ac-
! commodated.
At this afternoons meeting OF the
/ General Citizens Committee those
men and women who will deliver the
principal arguments i'm support OF
the charter bill will be considered
and the arguments in behalf Of the
measure discussed.
Although Mr Walker was in Phil
adelphia today. he directed the mob
ilizing Of the charter forces by lone
distance telephone. He said he wa
hopeful that fully 100 motor cars
laden to the uttermost with citizen.
and enthusiasm. would make tn,
trip.
1t was announced today that tn,
