Law Enforcement Committee,
2219 Ohio Street
Omaha, Nebraska.
Gentlemen:
Your petition relative to homicides
of colored people against colored
people received this morning.
The same was addressed to "Henry
Myers" instead Of Frank Myers, but
I received it anyhow and expect that
Henry Myers" will not blame me
very much for opening it.
I greatly appreciate getting the
constructive attitude Of the represen-
tative group who endorsed the facts
set out in your petition.
The Police Department endeavors
to get all the essential facts and pre-
sent them to a representative of the
County Attorneys office before the
accused is brought to the Police Court
for a preliminary hearing, and if the
evidence is sufficient, a representative
of the County Attorneys office does
his best to have the police judge bind
the accused over to the district court
for trial. Then there is the question
Of the jury convicting there.
l have taken this matter up person
ally with Chief Samardick and find
that your committee has already con
tacted him in the matter and that you
fully understand our departments re-
lation to the prosecution of such cases.
I appreciate very much your calling
this matter to my personal attention.
Very truly,
Frank Myers,
Commissioner Of Police.

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Motor Vehicle Deaths Show
a Slight Advance Over
a Year Ago
NEED OF MORE CARE

Accidental deaths of all types
for 1885 continued to run behind
last year during February, the
months total amounting to 6,940
compared with 1850 for February
1884, a decrease of nearly 6 per
cent, according to the Delaware
Safety Council. For the first two
months of the year the estimated
total is Ia ,260. The indicated de-
crease from last year is roughly
900 deaths. This is welcome
change from the upward trend
which has been common in rcent
years, but one would be unwar-
rantedly optimistic to believe it
will continue for long. The Janu-
ary decrease apparently came from
the sharp drop in motor vehicle
traffic due to bad weather. The
February reduction combines a
large decrease in home deaths and
a moderate one in public (not mo-
tor vehicle) deaths, neither of
which can be attributed to specific
causes. There is no evidence of q
permanent betterment in conditions
affecting these classes of accidents;
so it is probable that March re-
ports will not show the same favor
able change. Motor vehicle deaths
in February showed a very slight
advance over the same month of
1884, amounting to 0.4 per cent.

ing of Unemployed Be
fore Giving Any Aid
TO DETERMINE NEED

Before Kent and Sussex colIn-
ties can obtain any benefits from
the Federal governments $4,000
100000 relief fund they will have
to organize relief committees and
enroll the unemployed workers so
that it can be definitely determined
how many unemployables in need
of relief are in the two counties, it
was announced last week. An Of
fetal long engaged i'll relief activ-
tiles in New Castle county express
ed the belief that the government
would not deal with the unemploy-
ed in the two lower counties unless
some sort of organization is form
ed. One statement made on Sun
day night by President Roosevelt
in his radio fireside chat projects
must be alocated to localities or re-
lief areas in relation to the number
of workers on relief rolls in those
areas" was at first interpreted as
meaning that in view of the fact
Kent and Sussex counties have no
relief rolls, all the allotment for
Delaware out of the vast govern
ment fund would go to New Castle
county. The belief was expressed,
however, that government agencies
will step into the localities having
a relief problem but no organiza-
tion, and direct formation of the
necessary committees. Miss B.
Ethelda Mullen, executive director
of the Temporary Emergency Re
lief Commission for New Castle
county, has received no word from
Washington as to what amount the
commission can expect to receive
from the government for May. The
Levy Court has allotted only $685.
900 to the commission for next
month. The commissions budget is
S129,000. If the government mere
ly matches the courts appropria-
ton the relief program in the coun-
ty next month will be more ser
iously curtailed than in any other
month.

p. r. r. ELECTRIC
ARE NOW IN USE
New Type in Passenger Ser
vice; Old To Be Used i'm
Freight Department
IN SERVICE THURSDAY

Carrying streamlining another
step in advance, the first of fifty
seven electric locomotives of the
GG-1 type, with electrically welded,
seamless streamlined cabs, for use
in the Pennsylvania railroads high
speed electrified passenger service
between New York, Philadelph ia,
Baltimore and Washington, was
placed in service Thursday. Sever
al more are scheduled for delivery
within the next few days and the
remainder will follow rapidly. In
this new method of construction,
the cab, which extends the full
length of the engine -seventy-nine
and one-half feet-has been rede-
signed. The steel plates of which
it is built, instead of being riveted
to one another, are electrically
welded together and to an inside
frame, eliminating projecting rivet
heads and Overlapping joints. A
smooth, unbroken surface is pre-
sented to the air, which further de-
creases air resistance and increas-
es the effectiveness of streamlining
The suggestion of power and speed
created by the sweeping contours
of the great machine is also
strengthened. In its working parts,
the new locomotive put in service
duplicates the original unit of the
GG-1 type, engine No. 49OO, which
was specially built late in 1884, and
which, on February 10, of this
year, inaugurated the Washington
New York electrified service. The
cab of No. 1900, however, was built
in Unconventional way with over
tapping riveted joints. Like the
original unit the new engine, and
the others which are to follow, are
designed to handle full length pas
senger trains of standard weight
steel cars at speeds of over 100
miles per hour. AS the streamlin-
ed engines are received they will
replace in passenger operation, the
nonstreamlined electric locomotives
hitherto used. The latter, after
minor electrical alterations, will be
transferred to the freight service
Electric operations of the through
New York---Washington freight
trains is planned to begin in the

HIGHWAY WORK
AT EDGE MOOR
New Industrial Center Near
Wilmington Being Created
as Construction is Speeded
EMPLOY MORE THAN 1000

Construction of the pigment
plant by the DUPONT Company at
Edge Moor, with the employment
of more than 1000 men, together
with the development by the State
of the Northeast Boulevard is Gre
ating what is believed will be
new Wilmington industrial area
north of that city and bordering
the Delaware River. The DUPONT
Company is constructing a wharf
on the bank of the Delaware River
on the property of the pigment
plant. With the construction of the
pigment plant, the road construc-
tion work and the usual railroad
activity, the modest Edge Moor
station is taking on the appearance
of stimulated activity. The State
Highway department, the Levy
Court and the DUPONT Company are
all working in that area. The
county recently widened Edge Moor
Road from the top of the hill to
the bridge, eliminated the danger
Gus high crown and narrownes and
sharp curves, and has improved
county roads which lead into the
Edge Moor Road. The state has
constructed the second section of
the northeast boulevard, and has
completed the new vehicular
bridge, and the DUPONT Company is
now laying concrete roadways thru
the new pigment plant property.
There will be more than a mile of
roadway within the fence surround
ing the pigment plant. The Edge
Moor Iron Company plant, which
is filling several contracts, is locat-
ed a hundred yards south of the
pigment plant. The section of the
Northeast Boulevard, to Holly Oak
will be 2.5 miles long and will be
finished late in the summer, says
E. E. Downing, resident engineer
for the State Highway Department
for New Castle County. Opening
of the new highway will divert
traffic from the Philadelphia Pike,
particularly the Penny Hill area,
and will make easily accessible, for
the first time by truck and automo-
bile, large section north of Will
mington near the Delaware River
and the railroad main tracks which
is ideal for industrial sites. A
large part of the 10O-fot right of
way for the Northeast Boulevard
through lower Brandywine Hun
dred was donated by residents thru
whose property the highway is now
being constructed. The State High
way Department, in conjunction
with the railroad, has constructed
a circular concrete driveway, which
may be seen in the foreground, to
the Edge Moor station and, in ad-
dition, has constructed a concrete
bypass, % feet wide, from the
Edge Moor Road to the Northeast
Boulevard, to eliminate collisions
when cars pass over the bridge.
