open charges by Representative

worth OF United States bonds have
been duplicated.
Many Congressional secretaries

have no fear as TO the value Of their
Liberty bonds.
Practically every member Of the
Senate and House found a sheaf OF
telegrams and letters on his desk

Most OF these were from bankers
and business men. Others were
from individual bond holders and
from trustees OF large estates. Some
came from small Liberty bond own
ers. Some from subjects gave the
number OF bonds purchased with
the anxious request that the Con-
gresham make a personal investi-

joining store property owned by c.

ments over their store and they were
forced to leave in their night clothes
as did many others who were routed

fire was discovered by the Rev.
Father Turner. of st. Michael's
Church. the church being opposite
the burning buildings, and he ran
into the street to give the alarm.
PatrOlman Ellwood Donaldson
happened along at the same mo-
ment. and he. 200. noticed the smoke.
The patrolman ran to a fire-alarm
box, while the priest hurried back

Daylight saving time will become
effective in Wilmington at O'Clock
tomorrow morning when all clocks
will be moved ahead one hour. The
new time will remain effective un-
I'll October.
While many oppose the light-sav-
ing schedule, ball fans and lovers OF
outdoor sports welcome the change.
it giving them additional time for
their play periods.
Most serious difficulty is with
the railroad trains because they
have TO touch cities where daylight
saving is not adopted and have in
a measure to conform 10 both the
daylight saving schedule and East
ern Standard Time.
To provide for the change in time
the schedule Of all local trains on
all railroads operating into Whining
ton has been changed for the loca.
and suburban trains. The railroads
will continue 10 operate on East
ern Standard time and there will
be no change in the schedule Of
trains passing through Wilmington
from distant points. Trains from
nearby points, however, have been
moved up an hour with one excep-
ton, the train which runs from Per-
ryville and reaches Wilmington at
Sol in the morning.
Some complaint has been made 10
the Pennsylvania Railroad officials
on this account, as the train will not
reach Wilmington until 9.01 accord
ing to the Wilmington clocks, which
would be late for many persons who
have been accustomed to go to work
in the morning on that train.
A conference was held yesterday
at the French street station with
some of the railroad officials, and it
was pointed out that the schedule
on this train could not be moved
ahead because the train connects
with trains from the south at Perry
willie and from the Susquehanna
Valley line and cannot leave until
those trains arrive. These trains
leave their point of departure ac-
cording to eastern standard time.
II was explained the railroad COM
pany officials were very willing 20
accommodate the public as far as
possible, but in justice to the peo-
pie using the connecting trains It
was not fair to start the Perryville
train until their arrival at that sta
ton. The matter was taken up with
officials in Philadelphia, but no
change has been made in the train
as yet.
The trolley car service of the
wilmington and Philadelphia Trac-
tion Company will be changed to
conform to the daylight saving plan,
and first cars on all lines will start
as usual at o'clock in the morning
on daylight saving time. An added
however. with the troll
lev service will be the trolley car
service to connect with the trains
arriving at the French street sta
ton at LOS O'Clock a. m. daylight
saving time. When the local clocks
are moved ahead cars will run until |
2 a. M. thereby allowing late pas
sengers to make connections.
