versatiOn
GOSSIP ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR
Opinion General That Senator Ball
Will Be Allowed 70 Nominate His
Sueoessor-Rumor Has il That J. p.
Nields viii be the Man.

The exclusive publication In the
Evening Journal yesterday that Will
liam Michael Byrne had resigned as
United States District Attorney for
Delaware. created more surprise than
any political event for months. Those
who saw the FIRST copies OF the Jour
nal spread the news rapidly and at
first Il was not believed. After the
story had been read no one doubted t..
In political circles It was the sole
topic of conversation last night. The
question OF who would be appointed TO
succeed him was the chief point dis
cussed. II was the general opinion
that Senator Ban would be allowed TO
recommend Mr.. ByIne's successor.
This morning when Dr. Ball was seen
he said he did not know any more
about the matter than had appeared
in the papers. He said he would not
go to see the President about the mat
ter until the latter sent for him. Sem
ator Ball would not talk OF Mr.. Byrnes
successor. Il is generally believed
however, that he win name j. p. Nields
II is no' believed that the resigna-
ton Of Mr.. Byrne In itself will have
any marked effect on the political situ-
alton He had lost caste with bo'h
the Regular and Union factions.
Mr Byrne has not returned from
New York. At his home in this clty
II was learned that he was not ex-
pected before this evening.

.WOODSIDE AUTHORITIES
CRITICISED FOR LAXITY
In Allowing Murderers to Es-
cape Effort to Break Up
Concealed Weapon Habit
Special to The Evenlng journal.

Special TO the Evening journal
Dover. September 9.-There's good
deal OF outspoken criticism here over
the manner IN which the authorities
about Woodside handled the murder
case which occurred az the colored
camp near there on Sunday night II
seems now that while the coroner and
the attorney generals Office were noij-
ned and these not until Monday morn
ing. the sheriff OF Kent county was
not notified at all. The local authori-
ties organized a searching party In
an endeavor TO capture Dickson, the
murderer, Il is true. but the aid which
the sheriff and his deputies might have
given Yas not sought.
The State detectives got down TO the
scene OF the murder yesterday and
are working diligently ON the case, as
Is also Detective Robert Smnls Of Mil
ford. but the general impression Is that
Dickson must have leadcn weighted
feet II he has not gotten safely away
/ by this time. Coroner Abbott sum
moned a jury at the inquest ctnposee
of 1--WE white men and seven coloret
men "a verdict that Thomas Greer
came 20 his death from n pistol sho
wound inflicted by Jehu Dickson wat
rendered.
This crime has stirred up anew th'
agitation for a more severe penalty
lagainst the carrying OF concealed dead
lly weapons than the law now pro
vides and it Is very likely the subiec
viii be brought up before the mex
a Legislature. II Is fact time and agai
b reiterated. that al least eighty per cen
/. of the young men OF lower Delawar

o pons. and the argument is being use
Il in the light Of several recent tragedie
l. that the severest penalty should
