AN ELOPER FOILED.
PRETTY MISS DERRlcKsoN, OF A
DOWN STATE TOWN DETAINED.

She Was Eloplng with Hsr Lover Her
Father and Minister in Hot Pursuit.
and She Was Arrested In This City.
The passengers on the Norfolk express
train over the Delaware division due In
this city at 512 o'clock last night. were
surprised TO see Special officer Smith, a
railroad officer, walk into car and ar.
rest pretty girl who was gracefully re
clining IN an easy chair, when the train
stopped at the depot.
The arrest was made In response 20 a
telegram frem a point down the state,
received by officer Smith. The telegram
instructed that official TO detain Miss +
q. Derrickson, a pretty, 17-year.old, we'll
dressed girl.
AS soon as the train stopped the
officer mounted the steps of the rear
passenger coach and went through the
train. Every young woman who an
swered the description set forth In the
telegram he asked II her name was Miss
e. G. Derrickson
Finally he found the young woman
for whom he WAS looking seated In the
psrlos car, which was on the forward
part Of the train. She was informed
that she must accompany him, and
obeyed by leaving her seat, frightened
nearly to death, aud hurrying cut OF
the door after Smith.
Several young men on the platform
made some motious as though they
would interfere, but did not.
10 was learned that the girl was
clipping with a young man who was sr
the train, but who escaped the officer
She lived In a town down the state, but
u could not be learned where Hei
father and a minister had set out IN pur
suit and had telegraphed 20 this CITY q
detain her until they arrived on the 2 A
train.
Miss Derrickson was taken 20 the City
Hall and detained by the Instructions OF
Smith until her father and the minister
arrived.
Officer Smith was seen this morning
but he would not make a statement.
There seems TO be a disposition on the
part of railroad men to keep the matter
quiet
AS Middletown, Dover and Harrington
are the only towns at which this train
stops and in which there are families OF
the name, according to the state direc
tory, the pretty miss who would have
shaken Delaware dust from her CATERS
must have lived in one Of those towns.

THE REORGANIZATION PLAN

when the Crash Came Over s7o0. 600
Worth OF Securities Were HeId Here. But
some Investors Have UnloAded-Ths
Others WIN Have Opportunity to Come
In Under the Reorganization Plan.
The plan for the reorganization Of the
Equitable Mortgage Company has been
completed by the reorganization com.
mIttee. This will bring some comfort to
many Wilmington investors who have
large interests therein.
When financial disaster overwhelmed
the company, over 1926 Wilmingtonians
bad stock aud bond hsldings amounting
to over 500, 600, Joeeph L. Carpenter
Jr, being the principal investor
Slnca then these holdings have
been reduced to about $3.50, 600 by reason
Of the holders unloading, at sacrifice,
TO persons who were more sanquine than
they that the company would emerge
from its troubles.
The Reorganization Committee.
The reorganization committee has
been sitting in New York. II is com
posed Of Joseph l. Carpenter, Jr, presi-
dent Of the Farmers Bank, this city;
Henry. f. Richards, director Of the
Mechanics Savings Bank, Providence, r.
| Samuel Wsrdwell, cashier Of the Far.

Bank, Middletown, Conn.
The following men have consented to
act as a COMMITTEES TO carry out the plan
Hon Charles s. Fairchild, ex Secretary
OF the United States Treasury, and pow

the United States. and now president Of
the Third National Bank Of the city of
New York; George Coppell of the firm OF
Maitland, Phelps q Co, bankers, New
York.
The reorganization circular states that,
although the plan of resumption of the
company was approved by majority
(sbout seventy-hve per cent. In amount)
Of the American Security holders, It WAS
felt that It would be unjust to the
ms sjority TO resume with an out.
standing minority that might
hsrass the company by enforcing
their existing contracts. To overcome
this difficulty, the hslders Of a large
amount oflthe securities Of the company,
have formulated plan OF reorganization
