DELAWARE COUNTY seems TO be un.
dergoing fire test OF very damaging
character tc her educational institu.
tons. First, and but recently. che
Swarthmore College, one of the best
educational institutions in the country
was totally consumed and now she has
to bear the loss OF Hyatts military
Academy, the leading military institu.
ton in the State. This is not only a
loss TO Chester and Delaware County,
but to the hole country. We sympa
lhize with our unfortunate neighbors,
but we feel confident that through the
energy Of the managers and owners
Of each of the institutions which have
been the pride of our sister county, will
arise PhWnix like, more grandly and
beautifully from the ashes Of the past
than they were before.

decided to dotn the premises, he e.
eooly told that Dorsey was out oI
town, and there was no telling when
he would return. Dorsey has been In
continual hiding since, AID all efforts
to learn his abtdfng-place have proved
fRuitless. A we'll known Washington
newsprpetman met Dorsey 4 few DAYS
after my attorney, had seen Cottreli,
and asked his address, but Dorsey
refused TO give it. While in WASH

he having been brought there by
Brady and Dorsey to aid In the de-,
fense, 1 spoke 70 him about the fee,
and be confessed that his clieut'e
reputation was not as good as IT
might be in the matter of paying
debts. He did mot think DorseV
would even par board bill when hid
could possibly stand off the prOpris-
tor.
Chandler also said that there were
hundreds Of people clamorIng to testify
In behaifof Doisey's prosecution because
OF his refu,eal to refund the money
-Whichlthey had expended IN his affails

Interests. / was furthermore told by
Judge Bliss, the special couussl for the
Government ID the star route prcsecu-
Lien, that the men wbU had rlsked the
own fortunes aud liberties for Dorsey
could not get him to repay them for their
Outlays ard services. The Judge said
that all of Dorsey's agents andIemployes

to be sent for as witnes sess, giving as a
reason for their anxiety 10 ADJ ear the
statement that he had refused TO refund
them even the money they bad expend-
ed In getting routes expedited Among
others Mr.. Wilcox has expressed will
ingness to testify to the extent that he
will defray his own expenses from Ore
gon to Washington and return, and does
not even want mileage"
"Have you instituted suit against Dor
seyS" was asked. "We have attempted

hiding. His most intimate friends in
Washington could not or would not tell
where he was. "Do you think that the
star route cases will be prosecuted with

the pros cution would be allowed to

does not seem to be any great ambition
on the part OF the Admin ration to
push the trial. Now, while l was at
