JEROME BELL DIES IN WEST
Founder and for Years Publisher of
The Sunday Star, Wilmington

Founder and for Years Publisher of
The Sunday Star, Wilmington
James B. Bell, founder of The Sun
day Star, and for a number of years
editor of that paper, died Sunday
morning in Milwaukee Mr.. Bell was
born in Camden, Camden county,
North Carolina, January 10, 1852. He
went to Wilmington at the age of Is
years. He learned the trade of ma
chinist with ]. Morton Poole Company
and being of a mechanical bent of
mind, displayed much inventive skill.
Despite his later literary career, Mr..
Bell never lost his aptitude and love
for machinery. He invented a num-
ber of mechanical devices several of
which have been incorporated in the
Merganthaler linotype machine. After
finishing his apprenticeship during the
panic of 1873 Mr.. Bell was thrown out
of employment at his trade and secur-
ed position with the Every Evening.
Here he showed great aptitude for
newspaper work and very soon be-
came known as a newspaper man of
unusual ability.
After several years. connection with
the Every Evening Mr.. Bell and Mer-
ris Taylor, afterwards editor and now
editor emeritus of the Every Evening
bought from Caleb P. Johnson the
old Weekly Gazette, on May 1, 1882,
and turned it into daily paper known
as the Daily Gazette. However, it
proved their capital was too limited,
and after one years precarious exist
ence, it was disposed of and acquired
by the Every Evening, and Mr.. Bell
returned to that paper. Previously,
while still. connected with the Everey
Evening, Mr.. Bell started the Sunday
Star, March 6, 1881. This was one
of the first Sunday newspapers pub
lished in this country, having as its
most important function the printing
of the news. He was also cores
pondent and writer for several pap
ers.
Stayed Free of Politics
In 1883 the Sunday Star Company
was Incorporated, with Mr.. Bell as
chief owner, until he finally disposed
of his holdings in 1912. For a time
after he disposed of his interests II

the Sunday Star he remained with
that paper as editor, but finally sever
ed all connections and retired. After
his retirement, Mr.. Bell wrote and
published two books of verses that at
tracted considerable attention. One
of hese was entitled "a Harvest of
Years in Poem and Verse"
Break Down In Health He Goes West
He became seriously i'll while on a
visit to friends in New York City in
1913, and while he afterwards appar-
emily recovered, he was never really
well again. The past seven years, Mr.
Bell had been living with his daughter
Mrs. James L. Ferrebee, in Milwaukee
Mr.. Ferrebee is city engineer there
and was formerly connected with the
city engineering department in Will
mington. His illness became aggra-
waited, however, that for some months
he had been in a sanitarium in Mil
waukee, where he died Sunday morn
ing.
Mr. Bells wife, who was Emma l.
Campbell, died some years ago. He is
survived by three children-Jerome
B. Bell, Jr., general superintendent of
Canadian Explosives Co., Ltd, Mon
treal, Canada; Harrie 1. Bell, former
ly with the Sunday Star, but now with
the Holmes Press in Philadelphia; and
his daughter, Mrs. Ferrebee, of Mil
waukee. Another daughter was the
wife of Robert Wier. She died some
years ag. Robert Wier, Jr., Herbert
Wier and Miss Elizabeth Wier are
children of his deceased daughter. Mr..
Bells remains were brought to Will
mington and funeral service took place
today, Wednesday afternoon at the

New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, May 7.

and blind tiger" liquor cases was due
directly to the energetic police raids In
New York city. with the result that
court calendars promptly became con-
gested with these cases More than
1000 arrests have been made. The Dis
trict Attorneys Office was swamped by
the mass of this business and was faced
with the possibility OF having to take
long postponements in the majority Of
cases.

upon receiving the written request by
Acting District Attorney Joab H. Ban
ton. The Governor had no comment to

NEW AMENDMENTS
DELAY TARIFF BILL
Ashurst Wants Larger Duty
on Cotton and Jones Asks
Revision on Hides.

WASHINGTON. May Further con-
sideration OF the emergency tariff bill
to-day by the Senate was marked by
the introduction OF two additional
amendments and an attack on the
measure by Senator Harrison (Miss.).
Democrat.
Senator Ashurst (Ariz.), Democrat
proposed that the duty of seven cents
pound on long staple cotton be increased
to twenty cents. while Senator Jones
IN. M, Democrat. moved for tariff
Of 10 per cent. ad valorem on all i'm
portations of hides. The amendments
will be taken up later.
In his attack on the bill Senator
Harrison declared Congress was pur-
suing the wrong course in seeking to
remedy the country's economic ills by
use of a cure all" tariff. He said the
average farmer desired the Government
to make more available" such agencies
for his aid as 1t now has rather than
to waste further time on such questions
as the tariff.
Senator Harrison asserted that the
Republican membership was not solidly
behind the bill, and read a speech de-
livered by Senator Moses IN. HI, Re-
publican. at the last session attacking
the measure as being afflicted with
conSenltal economic rlCkelS.
MY position on this bill has not
changed said Mr.. Moses. II hope. at
the proper time, to address few poig-
nant remarks to the Senate on the
subject. and I intend particularly to
discuss the last section restrictions on
importation Of dyestufD Of the bill"
Mr.. Harrison then turned to what
he described as constructive pro-
gramme for relief of the farmers. He
argued that railroad legislation which
would make 1t possible for the Ameri-
can people again to use the transporta-
ton systems was urgent. and that the
farm loan system should be made TO
do it's full duty by changes that would
make loans easier for the farmers.
Chairman Fordney Of the House Ways
and Means Committee announced that
subcommittee of his committee were
practically through with their work on
the permanent tariff bill and that the
whole committee probably would begin
consideration Of the permanent sched-
ules within week.

FATE OF BEER Is
DECIDED THIS WEEK
House Committee Will Hear
Arguments on Volstead
Amendment.

WASHINGTON. May THE ghost of
John Barleycorn win walk again in
Congress next week at House Judiciary
Committee hearings on Chairman Vol
stead's bill to keep him completely dead.
Every now and then John stirs and
creates excitement. This time his ene-
mics plan TO deliver ANAL whack- Con-
sidering the dry composition of the
House. members predict that the new
volstead measure designed to prohibit
the sale OF beer to the ailing win be put
through
A flood of petitions has reached Mr.
Volstead for and against any added re-
strlctions. Doctors. including the gen.
eral practitioner who still sticks to
the old top buggy, seem to be divided
about fifty-fifty. according to the let
ters, on the question OF medical beer
Some have written that 1t Is not needed
to help the ailing others have protested
1t was not right to keep patient from
having a little beer with his meals for
his stomach's sake.
So the committee agreed to hear them
all, beginning Thursday, and then. Mr.
Volstead predicted, put through the bill
designed to put medical beer in a place
all it's own In the barleycorn family
graveyard.
Aside from Mr.. Volstead's Tightening
UP measure three or four others affect
ing prohibition are pending. The bill
which would permit American ships tc
sell liquor beyond the three mile limi,
will be considered by the merchant ma
rine committee, but the Volstead com.
mites will pass on the Hill bill to repea
the prohibition enforcement act. and also
the Wood bill. transferring actual en-
forcement from the Treasury to the De-
partrnent of Justice.
There Is wide difference of opinion or
the question of putting the enforcement
army under the Acknowledgement, many
prohibition leaders believing there shout
be no change. The sale of liquor or
ships, coastwise vessels excepted. is be-
ing urged on the ground the American
passenger fleet must be put on equa
footing with foreign liners If Congress:
hopes 70 develop its merchant marine.
Chairman Volstead refused to hazard
a guess as to how long the beer hearing:
might run.
