AFTER PORCH CHAIRS FIRST TO USE DRIVEWAY THIRTEEN III NIICIIIS PUSHED WIFE THROUGH WIDOW lit BW WIS C1PIII FDR SHIP GAUAL Trip on Yacht Tech Showed Members Work to be Done EITfRE MTERM INSPECTED Business Men of City Given Chance to Acquaint Themselves With Project The trip of the canal committee of the Coloman DuPont's yacht Tech yesterday through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal was the opening ot the winter's campaign in favor of the government ac- entng and widening it.

une trip was uiaen eo that those interested will be able to talk more Intelligently about it when the occasion requires! Although ki11 those present have been working hard for the project believing that It was a good one, few had ever been through the canal from Delaware City to Chesapeake City. The trip was a success In every way and all came home last evening more enthusiastic! than ever over the proposition. Aside from this the trip was an enjoyable social affair. The party waa congenial one and fully enjoyed the hospital-' Ity of Mr. DuPont.

Prom the time they left Frencn street wharf yesterday morn-; Ing until the return lust evening-he was ever on the lookout for tho comfort and convenience of his guests. The day was nn Ideal one. Although tho air was cool the sun was so warm that all spent tho day sitting on the deck. The country passed through is charming and Former Senator Anthony Hlgglns, Wb brother John Hlggins, consul to Dundee, Scotland, and Captain Philip Reybold, who are familiar with everything In that section chatted entertainingly about every point of Interest passed. They related many things concerning the history of the farms bordering the canal and their Inhabitants.

At Delaware City Mayor W. T. Smith, of thnt place; the Hon. John C. Hlgglns, Joseph Reeves, Thomas C.

Keeves and Thomas C. Cleaver, superintendent of the canal company boarded the boat. At Bt." Georges the party was Joined by the Rev. J. R.

Mllllgan, Dr. J. D. DfeWitt, Theodore Jones, Harry C. Clark and A.

N. Sutton. 8aw Advantage of Project If fuiyon had any doubts about the feasibility -and practlblllty of the ship canal plan before taking the trip they lost them yestTdny. As soon as the vessel left Delaware City It was made plain to the strangers that the canal was not wide or deep enough. They readily saw how if it were large tnough large coast-wise going vessels from Philadelphia to southern ports would use it Instead of going around tho 400 miles outside course.

As It Is at present the vessels that carry freight through the cannl have to discharge their cargoes at Baltimore where they are transferred to the larger bay boats. If the canal was 'large enough for the bay or coast wise boats this would be unnecessary. The expense of the transfer in Baltimore would be saved to say nothing of the saving In time which means much to the shipper. They also saw how millions of tons of freight which Is now carried In other ways would bo carried through the Inland water. This city would get ltd share of the repairs to be made to the vessels.

Now markets would be opened up which would benefit Wllmlng-ton directly. It is that If the canal was built as proposed, that tons of freight would bo carried through It an nually. The estlmnted cost of the canal Is but M0.000,i0 while the Panama canal will cost tmixyl.OO and the freight that wiV. bo "nrrled through It Is only placed at one-t-Ixth of tho amount It is estimad will go through the Delaware Canal, Value of Defense. The committee also got a-clear Idea of what valud the canal woulfl be as a na tlona! defense.

As the boat passed along from the Delaware almost Into the Chesapeake bay they could not help but see what a protection It would be to Washington to htve war vessels on this inland (Continued on Fifth Page.)

FOR RAILROAD OFFICES Old Landmark to be Demol ished for New Structure of Pennsylvania Workmen began tearing down the wall around tjhe buildings of the Pennsylvania railroad at Water and French streets this morning preparatory to demolishing the buildings for the new office structure to be built there.

SAY BARBERS' LiS ARE BEING OPENLY VIOLATED Shops Do Business on Sun day and Do Not Comply With Regulations the words of certain reputable bar bers in the city are true some members of the Barbers' Association of this city are violating not only the rules of the order but also State laws. It la openly claimed that In a num ber ot Instances that work 011 Sunday In violation of the code bearing on that subject la done, that several barbers neglect the sanitary precautions as prescribed and that others are employing men that have not taken out licenses as required.

Another point mado Is the alleged fact that the board of examiners Is derelict In Its duties In making In spections of shops throughout, the city as they are empowered to do and as a consequence a laxity in that direction exists. It la probable that some mem bers of the association who are dissat isfied with the way shops are being conducted and who claim that they live up to the laws while others Ignore them may take legal steps in the mutter.

There waa the usual rowd of morbidly curious people who visit these affairs each time to see the suffering of those upon whom the court has passed sentence.

For most part the men took the pun Ishmcnt without any show cf feeling, except a qulverg of the body and a ensity of the muscles as the awish of the lash told of the approach. Groans were dravn from some however, as the thongs fell upon the same spot twice. William Hopkins, a one-armed man, sentenced to ten lashes and Alfred Anderson sentenced to one hour In the pillory tivefe not punished.
