DOVER MAN Is MISSING
Harry Lucas Has Not Been Heard Of for
Two Weeks

Local authorities are said to have been
notified of the disappearance of Harry
Lucas bartender Of the Hotel Richard
SON, in Dover The peculiar circum.
stances surrounding his disappearance
led DIR. sharpe. proprietor OF the hotel.
to fear that he has met with foul play.
Lucas left for Philadelphia ON the mid
night train two weeks ago, but that he
intended returning probably ON Sunday
night the fact that hc left an his cloth
ing except the suit hc wore. and many
valuahles, would appear to Indicate.
Lucas took with him considerable
sum of money. including an the harroom
receipts of the day ON which he left. and
the fact that he had this money I'm his
possession is the basis for the suspicion
that he may have been the victim OF
thugs. His relations with his employer
and all the habitues OF the hostelry were
pleasant and there is no known reason
why he should remain away of his own
accord. DIR. sharpe is making every en-
dcavor 10 trace him.

peake City. Cecilton. Warwick. Middle
town. thence via Delaware City to Will

MANY RENTERS WILL
CHANGE THEIR HOMES
Real Estate Men Have But Few Small
Houses TO Rent-IRcrCaSo
in Prices

There VIII be more moving among
renters this year than has been seen
for years" said a well-known real es-
tate broker this morning.
"The increase in rents is the cause, q"
he continued. "but | do not know
whether any of the people who will
move will be benefited or not. There
lis a great demand for houses renting
for from $40 TO SIG a month. 1 think
it is safe to say that there are not
twenty-five desirable houses unrented
on the boards in the real estate Offices
today. OF course there are some that
for various reasons are not desirable,
and are hard to rent
Il think every real estate man has
had much the same experience this
year. There has been a general increase
in rents. AS soon as the tenant is
notified to this effect he or she wants
ito know what repairs or improvements
can be made TO the house. When told
that none can be made or that only
slight repairs can be made, the tenant
starts to look for another house. and
usually moves. AS a general rule the
rent is as high and probably the house
is not in any better repair
Then people like new houses, and
do not blame them for that. Although
it is stated that rents are high, 1 know
that they are not higher than in other
places. was looking over some books
yesterday and found that the rents
have not quite reached the figures Of
1898 before the panic struck us. Will
mington has grown largely since then
What is needed here is capital to
invest in real estate and build many
small houses. The return would be
good Now is the time to build small
houses.
1T is said there are $4,000 houses in
Wilmington, and think it is safe to
say that ten per cent. of the occupants
will move on or before March 25, the
lannual moving day"

BITING THIS
CHILD'S MANIA
FOur-Year-Old Thomas Foley
TGrrOrizeS NOighDOrhOOd
CHEWED AT POLICEMAN'S HAND
Agent Frank Stout Will TRY aud
Place Him in a Pennsylvania
Institution

To find a suitable home or institu-
tion in which to place 4-year-old
Thomas Foley, of No. 1910 Pleasant
street, is a question that is agitating
the police and Agent Stout. The
child has a mania for biting people
and several of the children who live
IN The vicinity OF his home have felt
the sting Of his sharp teeth.
This mania has been developing ia
an alarming extent for some time AT
first it was possible to control the
child, but now his mother says it is inn
possible. Whenever mad he runs into
the street and the first child he sees he
runs at like a dog and bites. The
mother Mrs. Annie Foley, decided TO
place the child in some institution
some time ago but had difficulty in
ilnding a place. The authorities at
Farnhurst would not receive him. be-
cause there is no children's ward in
that institution
Last night the small son Of Peter
SPAIN was badly bitten. and complaint
was made to the police. The mother
and Policeman Frank Kane started
fer the police station with the child
today. Suddenly, and without warn
ing, the boy grabbed the pOliceman's
hand. and It required force to keep
him from biting out a piece of the
flesh.
Agent Stout will try and place the
child in an institution I'm Pennsylva-
mia. The boy is large for his age and
very strong.
