LARQELY INCREASED CAPITAL New Organization Promises to Install a Modern System Adequate to Perfect Sanitation of City The Cblef Engineer Here. A movement has been inaugurated by the Sanitary Sewerage Company, of Philadelphia, to establish at Wil mington a complete system of sewer- aage, the need of which has long been so apparent that it has became a problem of no little moment with the Board of Alderman of the city, and on which at one time appeared Insoluble except by the installation' of a system to be owned and operated by the municipality. It instated that thePhiladelphia con cern will construct a plant in Wil mington that will be amply adequate to the requirements of the entire city. so that at no late day any house with in the populous district of the city may have an excellent connection and one in every way that will con form to the strictest sanitation. Major Chauncey Ives, chief engi neer of the Sanitary Sewerage Com pany, of Philadelphia, has been in the city for the past several days en gaged in studying the engineering details of the proposed system and work upon a new and complete sys tem will begin as soon as he has re ported to his employers and final de tails are consummated. Major Ives left last night for his home and ex pressed himself as pleased with the prospect for his company here. The Philadelphia company is said to be backed by almost unlimited capital and will spare no expense in placing a thoroughly up ta-date sewerage. As soon as the work is begun it will be rushed with all the dispatch possible until completion. The plan of the Philadelphia people is to absorb the stock of the Wilmington Sewerage Company, which has the only franchise to oper ate its. sewers in. the city. To this end tbe book of stock has been placed at the Murcbison National Bank pending a reorganization of the company with an increased capitalization to meet the aims and purposes of the new con cern. The Philadelphia Company has already secured, it is said, an op tion of 90 days duration on a ms j jrity of the stock in the local concern and tbe plans arpsar to have prospect of a successful consummation. Mr. W. P. Toon is president and Mr. John L. Bellamy, Jr., secretary of the home company. COMPULSORY PILOTAQB MATTER. No Adjustment of Differences Reached at Conference Held Here Yesterday.

The Chamber of Commerce at its meeting Thursday afternoon will be asked to hold out some inducement to secure the big meeting of the State's educators upon this occasion, and with the very mate rial enlargement of the Seashore Hotel now going on it is certain that with the beach and city accommodations there will be no trouble in entertain ing the thousand and more visitors that would be drawn this way by the event. President Jacobi, of the Chamber of Commerce, has recently received let ters from Prof. J. A. Holt and former State Superintendent C. H. Mebane expressing themselves in favor of tbe Teachers' Assembly meeting here this year, and intimating that they would visit Wilmington in a few days to look over the field.

The Fight Not Over Yet London's Bill to Amend the Constitution Bill Against Gambling Passed the Senate Revenue Law. I Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, March 2 Both branches of tbe General Assembly are now putting in some of the hardest work of the session. The Senate yesterday acted on more than ninety bills and many others were introduced and referred to committees.

It it understood that night sessions will be held regularly now and there will also be frequent after noon sessions. The Fayetteville disoensarv fisht has been the "battle royal" pf the General Assembly, so far as a contro yersy over a purely local measure is concerned, and it is not over yet. as indicated in tbe Stab telegram Jast night the opponents of the disnen- sary have now limited their effcris to the passage of an absolute prohibition bill which was first introduced by Representative McKethan to annlv to the county districts so as to prevent the establishment of government distil lieries, but now the whole force of the dispensary opposition is turned to the worn of passing this bill with an amendment that it apply also to all towns in the county, including Fay etteville. Major E. J. Hale is chair man of a big delegation here working to this end. Anti-dispensary people express themselves as confident of victory. The House has failed to concur in the amendmet by Senator Morton to the bill providing for the sale of the old New Hanover court house. The amendment was that the commision ers give the Naval Reserves an option on the building, the purchase price to be paid in bonds. There has been no call for a joint conference of the com mittees or the two branches of the As sembly and there cannot be after to day, so that the bill has a good pros pect or dying as a result or tne amend ment If this be the case the property will go over another t-tfo-years- at-least-without change of ownership.
