YOUNG THIEVES ABOUT RAILROAD
Have Caused Much Annoyance--Stole
Boots and Coat of a Rail-
road Man

Harry Pilot, with several men from
Beck River, came here on Wednesday
to repair the coal chute, which was
smashed into by a car last week. While
they were eating their lunch someone
stole q new pair of rubber boots and
an oilskin coat. Yesterday Gateman
'Shanahan, of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, noticed several boys acting sus-
piciously with a box. They finally hid
it beneath a pile of scrap iron beside
walker & Elliotts machine shop. When
they went away the gateman went to
the spot and found the box was an
umbrella members kit, which the boys
had probably stolen from a sleeping
knight Of the road" The youngsters
are about u years old. and are sup
posed to have committed several minor
robberies in the vicinity. They will be
watched in the future by the police,
who have been notified.

lows:
Wilmington Nov. Especial. -
President Roosevelt's statement that
the appointment of William Michael
Byrne as District Attorney is not to
be construed as a recognition of J. Ed-
ward Addicks. is gratifying to the peo-
pie in Delaware who have been fight

Chairman Thompson's Comment
Henry B. Thompson, chairman Of the
Regular Republican State Committee,
in speaking of the matter, said last
night:
1t is gratifying to know that the APP
pOintment of William Michael Byrno
/ is a personal one, and is not a recOg-
milton of Addicksism. The Regular
Republican organization feels that il

DEMOCRATS AFTER
A NEW LEADER
Name of Thomas +. Bayard
Mentioned and Received
With Approval
THINK HE HAS POLITICAL FUTURE

Friends Of His Honored Sire, 1t Is
Thought, Would Rally Around the
Old sayard Standard We're It
Unfurled
A number of Democrats were sitting
in a well-known Democratic club the
other evening, lamenting the fact that
the party was without leader, when
one man remarked: How would
young Tom Bayard suityou?' AT once
there were several lexclamationsof mes
all right" "iust the man." and similar
expressions. The conversation turned
on Mr.. Bayard, and before the group
separated that night, the men who
composed it were pretty well satisfied
that in the near future Mr.. Bayard
would become leader of the Delaware
Democracy. and take the place of his
father, so long filed in the hearts Of
the Delaware Democrats.
This talk has spread among the poll
ticians, and they are all talking of the
probability Of Mr. Bayard getting into
Delaware politics.
Wrote Against Addicks
It is thought that the talk was all
brought about at this time by the ac-
tive interest Mr.. Bayard has taken in
the Addicks manner. He has thrown
aside his natural reserve ami has twic,
written public letters to the press civ
ing his views on the question.
His friends who think he has a po
litical future, but had about given NJ
all hopes of seeing him shine in tn,
political armament take this as
hopeful sign.
When he was first admitted to tn,
delaware bar IL was though
that he would take an active
interest in Delaware politics ani
pick up the mantle wheI
it was cast off by his father. Unfortu
nately for the Democratic party an
Mr.. Bayard, the party took up the sil
yer issue about the time Mr.. Bayar
stepped forth before the public. II
worked for the candidates of the gol
Democrats, and made himself rathe
unpopular among the rank and file
They have forgiven him. however
Many would receive him with ope
arms because of the big failures mad
by the other leaders.
Goes to New York
Sometime afterwards Mr. Bayar
went to New York and leaving Tia
Delaware Democracy despondent {
ever receiving any help from him.
Now he has returned and they al
happy. The fact that he Is the son {
Thomas F. Bayard, who was honore
not only by Delaware, but by the Who'll
nation, is a great thing in his favor.
With Bayard carrying the stand
ard they believe they could control tn
State again. His action in comm
before the country in public letters ha
3 pleased his admirers and made ne
friends for him. They will anxiousl
watch him when there is another pul
lie question to be settled.

Thieves who evidently planned
fcaet for Thanksgiving made a forag-
ing expedition on Wednesday night
and early yesterday morning. In some
cases they left plunder taken from one
place at the homes of other victims.
They first entered the home Of c. E.
Anderson, at No. 3 East Thirteenth
street, conhscating two turkeys.
twenty-five pounds OF sugar and iiye
dozens of eggs.
Presented With Umbrella
A wine-colored silk umbrella was
thoughtlessly left by the robbers cn

street. next door to the home of Mr..
Anderson.
An entrance was also effected into
the house of William E. Frank, at No.
1924 Market street, and two loaves Of
bread and a tablecloth taken.
The load which the thieves had about
/ this time collected probably became too
heavy for them to carry and in the
vicinity Of Twenty-fourth and Walnut
streets they discharged a portion Of
their food stuffs, leaving a turkey,
some sugar and the tablecloth they had
previously acquired at the home of
Mr. Frank, on the porch of house.
Patrolman Burns saw negro with a
bag under his arm, wearing an over
coat with bulging pockets coming
down Market street early yesterday
morning, and called upon him to stop.
The colored man dropped the bundle
and made break, followed by the Off
GER who shot several times in the air
TO frighten the fleeing man, who es-
capped after leading the patrolman a
merry race. Handicapped by wearing
gum boots and gum coat, the police
man could not keep up the pace the
supposed robher was setting for him.
The bundle proved TO be a sack In which
was turkey which Mr.. Anderson
identified Mrs Frank also identified
the table cloth which was found on the
porch OF the house at Twenty-fourth
and Walnut streets.
Stole SixtY-five Dollars
Another robbery was reported to the
police yesterday by Richard Harrison
who lives at No. 6lS Van Buren street.
