REMOVAL FIGHT
Have Consulted Legal
Counsel On Plans Prior
To Court Fight.
YEARLY SALARY $4,000
James III. Latchum, Mil
ford, Appointed To Sue
ceed r. X. Jones.
YEARLY SALARY $4,000

Members of the Industrial Acct
dent Board, all of whom are Repub-
licans, were understood on Tuesday
night to have consulted legal coun-
sci on plans to fight in the courts
Governor Richard C.. McMullen's
plan to supplant them with Demo-
Gratis before their terms expire.
The Governor announced appoint
ment on Tuesday of Norman w. Col
lison, Bridgeville, to succeed Capt.
Harry V. Lyons, of Lewes, whose
term expires November =, 1871.
John C. Saylor of Wilmington will
succeed Charles H. Grantland, whose
term expires November l, 1899, and
former State Senator James Harry
Latchum, of Milford, will succeed
Robert K. Jones of Harrington,
whose term expires December 81,
1899. The appointments are for six
years each.
The plan to contest the action is
said to be based on the contention
that commissioners could not be re-
moved without hearings. However,
pointing to a clause in the law which
says the Governor may remove any
board member with or without
cause" the Governor said two other
would be made short
ly with brief intervals between them.
Board members receive $4,000 a
year and the secretary, who now is
Councilman James B. McManus of
the Eighth Ward, Wilmington, Re-
publican. receives $2,500. He is ap-
pointed by the board.

ments are being spaced so the new
will be able to gain exper-
ience from the old members. He
asked the old members to cooper
ate.

SAFETY COUNCIL ISSUES
Z WARNING ON TURNS
States yehlcular Turns Are A Neces-
sary Evil; Cannot Be Eliminated

Vehicular turns are a necessary
evil, causing accidents and conges-
tion. But they cannot be generally
eliminated.
At some extremely congested
points they are prohibited. but this
can be applied only to a relatively
small percentage of the intersections
in any city. The problem then is one
of making turns In way that will
cause least interference and afford
the greatest degree of safety.
According to the Delaware Safety
! Council, right turns should be made
from the extreme right lane Of traffic
keeping close to the curb until the
turn is completed. This keeps the
turning vehicle out of the way of
others going straight through. Made
from any other position they cause
interference with other vehicles.
creating unnecessary hazards and
congestion. Also, In such contin-
geney, they must be made more
rapidly and abruptly. and, conse-
auently, subject pedestrians to
greater hazards.
Right turns may be made only
with the go signal at intersections
where there is traffic control. unless
special instructions are given by
pavement markings or signs. Turn
ing right on the red light violates
the meaning of this signal and tcnds
TO. encourage disobedience of 1t.
Left turns are always the more
difficult to make. With few excep-
tions. they carry vehicles across the

TO START TOMORROW

War Admiral and nine other
horses belonging to the stable of
Samuel d. Riddle were among some
two hundred arrivals at Delaware
Park on Wednesday, but the Admir-
al will not do any racing there or
anywhere else for some time, much
as Riddle and his trainer, George
Conway, would have liked having
him fill his engagements in the Kent
Handicap and the Diamond State
Stakes, which will be two of the
most important events Of the Della
ware Steeplechase and Race Asso-
Citations meeting of 25 days that will
begin tomorrow, Saturday, June 26.
The Kent "a $4,000 sprint of one
mile and a sixteenth exclusively for
3-year-olds, will be the first days

faulting II will attract a field Of
twelve or fifteen. The Diamond State,
a $500 gallow of one mile and a
furlOng for 3-year-olds, will be run
Saturday. July 10, and it will draw a
good field, too. The burden of 1872
pounds Handicapper John p. Tur-
ner allotted to War Admiral in the
Kent seemed heavy, but Conway be-
lieves he could have managed it. He
is not certain when he will be able
to get the winner of renewals of the
Derby, Chesapeake, Freak
ness, and Belmont stakes to the bar

hoof to replace the one he all but
halved when he grabbed himself at
the start of the Belmont and that
will take time.

HEALTH BOARD ISSUES
BATHING WARNINGS
Only Recognized And Approved

Bathing in any but recognized and
