STEAM WHISTLE LOVE
MAKING PROTESTED
Residents Object to Frequent
footing by Trainmen to Sig
nal SWeethearts.

Frequent footing OF whistles on the
engines of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad passing through this city
have brought protest from the resi-
dents in the western part of town,
especially in the Wawaset section.
This caused an investigation In view
of the fact that there are no crossings
or stations TO cause a passing train
to give warning and 1t has develop
ed that all the blowing was due TO
little Dan Cupid.
Trainmen. it appears. are popular
with the young women of the west
side OF town. and when their train
passes. they sound the whistle to let
their sweetheartS know that they are
near. The girls rush to the vicinity
of the tracks TO throw kiss or signal
them in some manner that is express
sive of their love.
All this love making with steam as
an important factor. however. has ap-
parently had no softening effect upon
the heart strings of the residents
whose nerves have been tangled by
the frequent blast from the deep
throated SIRENS on the locomotives
They have registered their kick and
asked that something be done to
stop IL.
Another complaint from that Sec
tion II that the smoke from passing
trains drives the residents from their
front porches because 1t is SO thick
and full Of gas and in addition spoils
the paper on the wall when Ii gets
into the houses. This matter was
brought TO the attention of the rail-
read officials sometime ago by the city
and in reply they stated they would
investigate the matter and expressed
their appreciation for bringing the
subject TO their notice.
The Wawaset Park Maintenance
Committee made formal protest to the
Street and. Sewer Department about
the smoke nuisance and that depart
ment promised TO bring the matter to
the attention OF the City Council. This
communication will be brought up to-
morrow night and Council may take
steps TO adopt an ordinance to abolish
the smoke nuisance.

But They Must Show Why In-

Not be Granted.
FILE AFFIDAvITs AUGUST 2a

Chancellor Josiah @. woicott, sitting
Ia tho Court of Chancery in Dover
yesterday afternoon refused the appli-
cation OF Robert q. Harman. repre-
senting the Delaware Fire Company
and other cili.ens for restraining
order. against tte Department of Pub
lie Safety. the city treasurer and the
Mayor and Council OF Wilmington to
prevent any further payments of any

tablishing OF the new paid fire depart
ment In this city. The Chancellor
did. however. direct that rule issue
uaon the Directors of the Department
Ct Public Safety to show cause why a
preliminary injunction should not be
issued against them. This rule wa >
made returnable at Dover at 10 O'Clock,
standard time. on Tuesday morning.
August 90
There was some question between
the court and interested attorneys as
TO whether the argument on this rule
should be heard verbally together with
the taking of oral Testimony of wit
nesses or whether il should be by af-
fldavit. II was also debated whether
shc hearing would be held in this city
or in Dover. The Chancellor reminded
sne counsel that ne is on his vacation
ard that his vacation has been very
much broken UP by the rush of busi-
ness, 1t was finally agreed that the
return would be made in Dover and
that counsel for both sides would file
aindavits instead of presenting oral
testimony.

Mr.. Elliott expressed his opinion
that the cases of drunkenness In the

Elliott. which are giving the most
trouble down State The latter brand

The Prohibition Director denies that
there Is an unusually large amount
of liquor IN Wilmington. but said that
the authorities have reason to believe
that sorne of IL has been recently
sent into this State from Maryland and
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Elliott said that the
recent drunks In this city have been
found in most caves To have been the
result of Jamaica ginger being mixed
with ginger ale, to give II the desired

The Delaware director said that the
authorities are well-prepared to give
battle and tslean up the Illegal traffic

Mr.. Elliott expressed the opinion that
the violations could not be stopped im-

gradual process. He admitted that

DELINQUENT INCOME
TAXES GIVING TROUBLE
Attorney-General Has Not Re-
ceived Bill and VIII Not In
dicate His Plans.

Attorney General s. d. Townsend
Jr-. has been much annoyed by the
general uproar over the collection OF
the delinquent State income taxes and
the Misrepresentation that has been
going on regarding the general sit
uation. He said today statements at
tributed to him in a morning paper
were all wrong and he further denied
that he has any knowledge of the bills
for back taxes for the simple reason
that they have not as yet been sent
to him by the State treasurer
Mr.. Townsend pointed out that he
does not know what kind of bills the
State .reaurer proposes sending him
and until they are received he will
Tot beeable to determine what action
he will take All he knoKVs to date
is that the State treasurer had some
delinquent bills he was going to send
70 him for collection and a yet there
the matter rests. The list has not
been received and Mr.. Townsend dos
not know when il viii be received.
He explained there is possibility
OF mistakes having been made by all
parties concerned in the payment of
che income taxes Those who over
paid have proper redress and can
secure refunds in due course and it
Is only proper that those who did
not pay the full amount the State
charges againt them should pay it.
AZ TO what proc dure is to be followed
when the list of delinquents is avail
able will not be determined until il

MAYOR HARVEY'S
ACTION PtRTURBS
CITY COUNC|LMEN
by What Right IS He Going to
Employ Anyone on Behalf OF
the City?" They Ask.
RELATIONS MORE STRAINED

Announcement by Mayor Leroy
Harvcy that he Is in communication
with several experts in the disposal OF
municipal waste. particularly garbage
and that he Is in correspondence with
one OF these experts with the idea OF
having a survey made of the situa-
ton In Wilmington, apparently has
only served to stretch to still greater
lengths. the already strained rela-
tions between the chief executive OF
the city and the members Of City
Council. especially his fellow Republi-
can majority members OF that body
for they have already demanded TO
know by what right the mayor is
going to employ anyone on behalf of
the city.
Councilmen spoken to today about
the mater. made II clear that the
mayor has no city funds, either con-
t,ngent or otherwise, on which he may
draw. They pointed out that he is
unable under the law to authorize the
expenditure of one cent of the city $
moneys. and they therefore were
anxious to know how the mayor was
going to engage this garbage expert.
They claim il he does SO engage any
such employe, the only way he can
Ray for the services of this man will
be from his own private purse.
The mayor may recommend to the
Council that . garbage expert be en-
Gagged, and in the event such a recon-
lnendation is adopted then the Coun-
ell becomes liable for the payment
of the mans salary. otherwise the
mayor is without legal authority to
act in the matter. Councilmen ex-
pressed some doubt as TO whether they
would favor such a Recommendation,
for they pointed to the fact that just
such a survey as the mayor proposes
was made a year or SO ago and cost
the city considerable money.
The new incinerating plant is being
operated by the Board of Health, and
on Monday about 35 tons of material
were consumed. DIR. c NJ. Handy.
president of the board. said ii will re-
ouire at least a months operation to
determine just what the plant is
capable of. He said today nothing
has yet been done relative to the pro-
possl that equipment be installed
whereby the garbage could be drained
of the excess of water in it. The
garbage at this season of the year
contains more moisture because Of the
ingredients than at other seasons OF
the year, although 1t has been found
there Is general disposition through
cut the city to drain much OF the wa
ter from il.
while it seems to be an accepted
fact that the new plant is not large
enough to consume all the garbage
collected in the city, the sentiment is
growing in favor of the building of an
other incinerator either of the Nye
Company's pattern or some other
make. Many Councilmen have ex-
pressed the belief that this should be
done TO settle for all time the garbage
disposal question.

GOyAT0S HAS UNLUCKY DAY.
Establishes Record for Tire Trouble
Between Rehoboth and Wilmington.

John Govatos, the xell-known real
estate man, has a summer cottage at
Rehobofh and drives down over the
weekend. returning Monday MORN
ings. and being good natured and en-
joying the companionship of friends,
usually takes two or three along with
him both going and coming. Being
thoroughly familiar with traffic regu-
lations, while he is accredited with
making rather good time on the roads.
he aims to keep within the speed
limit. Monday morning he left Re-
hoboth around $50. accompanied by
several friends as usual with the ex-
pectation of reaching Wilmington at
the usual time.
The old saying that the best laid
plans of mice and men oft gang
agleev proved all too true for Mr.. Co.
yatos and his friends. Instead of ar
riving around 10 o'clock. they drove
into town about 2.30 in the afternoon.
To say that they had tire trouble is
putting 1t mildly. Seven times was it
necessary to change tires on the trip
home. II became almost habit In
ner tubes were repaired at one sta
ton en- route only to go down within
a. mile or two. Mr.. Govatos was of
the opinion that he had made a record
for tire trouble over the route, hut it
seems that this is disputed by Major
Edmund Mitchell. who was one of
his party, and who claims to have
changed eight tires on a trip he once
made. Goyatos is entirely willing to
let Major Mitchell have the glory of
such record--if there be any glory
in it, which ii is disposed to question.
