ASKS MORE FOR
DEATH OF HUSBAND

In the case OF widow Of Joseph
Silvia against George p. Scotten and
Sons for damages, decision was re-
served by Justice Pennewill and
Judge Richards IN Superior Court
yesterday afternoon. While work
ing in the employ of D. +. O'Connell
and Son on road work at Thirty-first
and Market streets, nearly two years
ago, Silvia was killed by a truck OF
Scotch and Sons, it is alleged.
O'Connell and Son. under the
workmen's compensation law, paid
the widow of Silvia insurance. Re-
Gently Mrs. Silvia brought suit
against scotten & Sons for dam
ages. The defendants claim they
should not be held liable. as the
widow has been receiving insurance
from O'Connen & Son; but Mrs.
Silvia claims that under the death
statute she has a right to claim
damages, the proceeds to be paid
her after she has remunerated
O'Connell & Son the amount Of in
surance paid.
The case involves a question OF
law. as to whether the suit should
have been brought by O'Connell &
Sons or in the name OF Mary Silvia
The plaintiffs counsel, George W.
Lilly, contends, that under TIE
death statute. the suit should be
brought by the widow.

Those Of the city who hear the
toot Of the whistles announcing the
starting and stopping Of operations
daily in the local plants, have been
trying to trace the origin or a new
and unearthly sound which has been
greeting them along with other whis-
ties the past few days. 1t Is an un-
earthly sound because it was appro-
priated from the sea.
To relieve those who have been
seeking the source of the uncanny
commotion, the sound heard is the
untuneful, mournful registering OF
the starting and stopping signal at
the new packing plant Of the Will
mington Provision Company along
The Christiana at the foot of Orange

pleted the concern decided to secure
something different from that used
by other firms. And they did.
The larges sized siren securablc
was purchased from the company
which manufactures them for the
United States Navy. The fog-horn
as 1t is sometimes known, made its
presence felt more effectively a few
days ago when the atmospheric con-
ditiCns were so heavy. The siren Is
said to have a radius Of ten miles.
