WILL DESCRIBE HOW
PHTLADELPHTANS PLAY

OF interest 20 all Of the clubs and
associations in the city which pro-
mote any form OF athletics is the
meeting which will be held in the
duBarry room OF the Hotel dupont
al 10 o'clock tomorrow morning un-
der the auspices OF the Community
Service.
The principal object OF Commu-
nifty Service as explained by Director
Ernst is to gain for the people OF
Wilmington an all-the-year-round
playground system. Many people
have thought OF Fairgrounds as
meaning a place for small chill
dren TO occupy their free time. The
fact is. however, that the all-the-
year-round system which Commu-
nifty Service has in mind is a very
much larger proposition.
II has in mind. for instance that
provision would be made in a field
house connected with each play
ground. for basketball and swim
ming in The winter and a place in
the summer where athletes can get
into their athletic clothes or take
q shower after a game Of ball. foot
ball. or track work.
3 Community Service is calling the
attention OF Wilmington people in
terested in athletics for boys and
for girls to the system which is in
operation in Philadelphia. Tomor-
row, Miss Sophia L. Ross. director
OF the all-the-year-round recreation
evstcm OF philadelnhfa. will describe
In detail the character and the
method Of operation Of the Phila-
delphia system.
Community Service is very anxious
that the membership OF the strong
athletic groups OF Wilmington and
ali others OF sport should make the
most OF this opportunity TO hear Miss
Ross and are extending the invita-
tion through these means.

LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING


Children born on this date come
under the governing sign OF Leo, the
Lion. and they should never be
aroused to combat. but a constant
endeavor must he made to raise
them above the common level OF
humanity. Such training requires
line upon line, and precept upon
precept. II parents could be made
TO understand the grand possibilities
OF the regenerate Leo character
they would not spare themselves In
this educatory work.
Leo is the only sign in the Zodiac
under the governing influence OF the
sun. and TO this solar influence is
ascrihed the passion and impetu-
osity OF those who come under IT,.
These faults are somewhat modified
in the Leo women.
The spiritual evolution OF the Leo
character is by cool and passive con-
and silence. They should
ever bear in mind that their gov
erning planet Is the Sun. and that
true growth can be attained only by
A combination OF heat and cold.

ers?'
A. Absolutely.
In answer TO further questions he
testified that he was a member of
the hospital committee and that Mr..
| Hogan and Mr.. Middah were the
other two members. He said he
did not know where the other two
members were now In connection
with the work of that committee the
witness said he examined the hos
pital building and that the building
was also examined by the grand jury
as a body on more than n occasion.
He was then asked as to whether or
not the building was finished when
he examined 1t and said 1t was not.
AS examining counsel took the wit
ness along step by step the latter .old
in detail of the defects he found. He
said that 10 finish the outside of the
building, for which the sun OF 500
was withheld from Contractor Wal
lace. he estimated that the cost
would be about $500 and Mr.. Zurich
elected from him the fact that this
work finally was done by himself as
a carpenter and by Martin T. Nelson,
a plasterer. also a member OF the
grand jury. The witness was posi-
tive in his statements to counsel for
the plaintiff and referred to state
ments which he had made with ref.
erence to the hospital which others
could not thereafter dispute.
Following the noon recess of the
court Attorney ZURICH took the wit
ness in hand and examined him in
connection with the grand jury re-
port. He brought out the fact that
the witness was one OF the unsuc-
cessful bidders for the hospital con-
tract and that w. v. Hogan, another
member of the committee OF three,
was likewise an unsuccessful bidder
for the heating contract.

The defendants %thereupon rested
their case.
BY way of rebuttal testimony At
forney Quayle called County Clerk
+. d. Oldfield and through him in.
troduced records from the minutes of
the county commissioners which were
read into the record, bearing upon
the hospital contract and matters
connected Herewith.
Andrew Hexem was next called TO
the stand by Attorney Quayle and
as the witness approached the clerk
10 take the oath al air of expectancy
seemed to preyade the courtroom.
As questions were propounded to
him he testified that he had resided
in Ely since 1907 and that his ex-
perience as a builder and contractor
covered the period of his residence
here as well as the five or six years
prior to 1907. That he was a mem
Der of the grand jury whose report
was touched" upon in this case.
He was asked by Attorney Quayle:
@. II will first ask you to state
whether at any time during the con-
duct Of the proceedings of that grand
Jury. or in carrying out the work
thereof, or the work of any commit
tee of that body which you were a
member OF. whether you exercised
any malice toward anyone?"
A. mo, sir"
@. I'm making that answer do
you have in mind the charge made
by the defendant Zurich in this case
