HAIL!

MEN of the matchless Jimmy Sheehan's $
1Nl mold are not often irreverent or reck-
less in the presence Of their accepted auto
Gratis. They seldom fail to manifest all
needed signs of humility and gratitude when
they happen within seeing distance of the
Presence. But the Bolshevk mood Of
iconocasm seems to be spreading danger
ously even about City Hall.
"What king?' demanded Jimmy Sheehan
when a guard stopped him at the door Of
Councilman Halls sanctum with the an
nouncement that he must wait until the
king, who was within, finished his bust
ness. king who?'
''yarer' said the City Hall guard in a
frightened whisper
Il thought" said Mr.. Sheehan, in the
manner Of a man whose soul was suddenly
illumned by the spirit of '76, that we had
done away with kings
Have the years diminished Mr.. Sheehan q
powers of logical perception? Who but a
king would give him half wagonload Of
money each year for doing next to nothing
In the Office of the Register OF Wills? Does
he suppose that the Ito use his own term)
jack comes from On High? Does he be-

wealth voluntarily?

Ameer Of Amber, Brother to the Seven
Bright Ones of the Political Zodiac and

ably have understood and kissed the floor
and gone upon his way.

UP TO THE EXPERTS NOW

AT THE present historic moment there
n is probably less public disposition in
the United States to discuss the compli-
Gated detailed aspects of the Irish situation
than for perhaps a century.
This attitude is not only inspired by feel

pectancy, but by the knowledge that at last
the problem is in the hands of high official
experts.

through the newspapers of the day.

FOR REVIEW
Liability Board Awards
Frank $500 in Full
Settlement
OTHER WEEKLY
PAYMENTS GO ON

Members OF the Industrial Acct
dent Board have a busy day outlined.
While no hearings are to be had,
consideration will be given several
cases pending, and probable awards
made.
The first case considered by the
board when it met at IL o'clock this
morning was that Of Pietro Conegh-
ito. who was burned about the body,
while working at the Worth Steel
Company's plant. Claymont, on May
25, 1920. Coneghtio was burned by
his clothing igniting when molten
steel spilled. He was paid compen-
sation until June 2l, this year. The
company asks the board to determine
the degree OF loss. so that the
amount already paid Coneghtio. who
is now working at the plant, can be
deducted from the amount Of com
pensation. He was allowed s5.23 q
week
Howard c. Smiths case is being
reviewed to decide the loss OF earn
ing power sustained through frac'
ture of the elbow. Smith claims sc
per cent. loss in the use OF his righ
arm through the accident which
happened on April 16. 1920. while
employed by the General Chemica
Company. He is now employed b,
the company in work suitable to hi
capacity. He lost only three weeks
work. The board disallowed claim
/ but reserved the right TO reopen th'
case.
Robert r. Reynolds requested Z
review claiming diminished earnini
power as a result OF an accident
in the breaking Of the bones in botl
ankles. while employed in paint
ing a building at the Edge Mooi
Iron Co. plant, in August. He haC
been paid compensation for tw'
years. He claims inability to follow
this trade as a painter because o
the injuries.
Consideration was given the cas-
OF Mike Frank. New Castle, VIII
was awarded compensation for tota
disability by the board, at the frs
hearing last year. This award wa
disallowed by the Superior Court
which contended the mans dsa
ability was a permanent partial disa
bility. Frank asked the board at
recent meeting to commute his com
pensation to lump, under tn
later ruling. The board allowed hi
request. giving him $500. Fran

MAY NAME CITY
FIREMEN TODAY
All Equipment Expected by
Department Before
August 10
CONNELLY SUIT
AGAIN TALKED OF

With but FIVE weeks remaining in
which to purchase fire apparatus and
TO train the new firemen who will
serve in the proposed paid fire de-
partment. Directors Of Public Safety
at their meeting this afternoon may
name the 140 or more firemen. II
was said at the office Of Fire Marshal
Lutz this morning that intimation
OF such a course had. been given by
one OF the directors. With the nam
ing OF the men who are to be en-
ployed by the city as firemen IL Is
thought the course OF training to be
taken by the men will begin in a
short time.
According to Captain Umber-
camp, fire department expert, who
Is organizing the department, it will
be impossible at this time to train
the men thoroughly owing to the
fact that much OF the equipment has
not arrived. IL is thought however,
that all OF the equipment will be
here by August 10.
Another matter which the direc-
tors will take up at their session this
afternoon will be that Of purchas-
ing what additional fire houses will
be needed by the city.
Whether William NJ. Connolly Of
the weccacoe fire company, who en-
tered a verbal protest with City
Council last Thursday night against
the directors buying materials
without asking bids, will be present
TO make protest to the directors
was not announced. It was said by
friends Of Mr.. Connolly this morning
that he intended TO ask for an in
junction within a few days to re-
strain the directors from expending
the city's money for equipment. sal
aries or buildings on the ground that
the act creating the paid department
was unconstitutional.
