A serious condition of affairs

A serious condition of affairs
faces the people of Milford as to
their public schools, and in justice
to the children of this and the COM
ing generation, it must be met
quickly. In the high school de-
partment of Milfords public schools
there are exactly sixty-siX seats,
and all of this year there has been
sixty-six pupils in attendance. Of
this number seven have graduated,
and possibly seven others will not
return to the school next fall; leav-
ing a vacancy in the high school
department for fourteen pupils. To
fill this space there are twenty
seven children who have been pro-
NOTED from the eighth grade to go
into that department; what is to be
done with them2 is a question now
I'D to the Board of Education. In
the high school there were twenty
seven children who came from
districts other than those composing
the incorporated districts Of Milford
and from which the Board of Edu-
cation received from the State of
Delaware the sum of 1914 as tuition
fees: which is an increase of SIeo
oYer the amount received from that
source last year, and is the interest
on $4,000. The present accomo-
dations necessitate the sacrifice of
outside pupils, who are the very
best, and the revenue arising from
their attendance; also the effect on
our schools. This is the condition
OF the high school, and it is dupli-
Gated in almost all of the other de-
partments or grades. In the seventh
grade there is an enrolment Of fifty
two, while there is seating capacity
for only thirty-eight. These chill
dren are all in families of those who
reside in the districts, and can not
be denied school privileges; what
shall be done with them, and where
to put them, is a question that the
Board of Education shall face at
once, or at least before the schools
open for the fall term.
These children can not be shut
out. The people have these facts
set before them now to think over
before the time for reopening the
schools next fall. The Board of
Education know that they have it,
and unless they intend to act for
the best interests of public educa-
ton, they will do we'll to tender
their designations at once, so that
men or women may be chosen who
will look out for the best interests
of the children from an educational
standpoint. With sufficient seat
ing facilities the high school of
Milford next fall would have ninety,
possibly one hundred pupils; seven
ty per cent from other districts,
bringing in a cash revenue of more
than FIVE hundred dollars; which is
the interest on fourteen thousand
dollars, an amount almost sufficient
to build a new school house. Let
some action looking toward reliev-
ing the trouble be taken at once.

Mr.. GORNAN DOOMED
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Friends Believe Maryland Victory
Makes Him the Most Prominent
Democratic Candidate.

BALTIMORE. Md. Nov 5.-With
Democratic plurality on the State ticket
of 10000 both houses of the Legislature
Democratic with a majority on joint
ballot of from forty-five TO fifty. Sena-
tor Germans friends say that he is now
the biggest Democrat ia the nation and
more than ever before the national
leader Of his party The Senator has
sent his congratulations to Edwin War
field, the governor-elect.
Congratulations poured in upon the
Senator, but he made no dispatches pub
lie. Neither does he say one word con-
cerning the reports associaung his
name with the Presidency He would
not refer to it even when pressed dur
ing the campaign. and is still silent.
Concerning Mr.. German and the Presi-
dency, his political associates here ar
que it out that the Democratic victories
in New York city and Maryland made
him the most prominent candidate for
the Democrats nomination. The selec-
ton Of the New York ticket. they say.
was made on the advice OF Mr.. Cor
man.
William Shepard Bryan jr, attorney
general elect, says the Democrats viii
not deprive the negro Of his constitu-
tiOnal rights, but they believe in re-
stricting his political activity within
the narrowest possible compass. A plan
was to turn the counties Of the black
belt into municipal corporations, the
State court OF appeals having decided
that at municipal elections IL was COM
petent to restrict the suffrage to prop
erty holders and taxpayers.

ENGLAND is ENRAGED
At MOORE'S DECISION
LyDchehaun Case Will Go
to Secretary Hay.
BRITISH PRESS COMPLAINING
Question Involves Possibility of Extra
diting Assassin of President Who
Makes Escape to Canada.

Department of Justice officials are
making close study of the decision of
Federal Commissioner Moore. of Indian
apolis, in the case of James L. Lynche-
haun. who was released from custody
and his detention In the hands of the
English authorities under extradition
proceedings refused. Careful investiga-
tion is being made to ascertain whether
there is not some way of making an ap-
peal from the commissioner decision.
The declsiSn of the commissioner was
that while Lynchebauns crime was of
brutal nature it was. nevertheless.
political. and hence the prisoner was not
subject to extraditiOn. The decision has
raised n storm of protest in England,
where IT is said by some of the newspa-
pers that If an assassin of the President
escaped across the Canadian line he
might with equal propriety maintain
that his offense was political and that
he could not be extradited. mere is
no doubt a protest from the English
government will come TO this Govern
ment because Of the decision. If it has
not already been dispatched.
Lynchehaun is alleged to have COM
mitted an assault at an agrarian politi-
cal disturbance. He was confined at
Maryboro jail and made his escape.
Dispatches from Indianapolis say
warrant may be sworn out against
Lynchehaun before some United States
court outside of Indiana, in a further
effort 10 have Lynchehaun sent back to
Ireland to serve out his sentence. One
important point is in the condemned
mans favor. 1t is provided by the ex-
tradition treaty that when crime has
been held TO be a political offense by
representative of the Government from
which extraditiOn is sought" the deci-
sion of the officer shall be final AS
sistant United States District Attorney
LaFollette, who assisted the counsel for
the British government in the effort to
extradite Lynchehaun, cOntended the
commissioner was not a representative
OF the government, as meant by the
treaty, and that the Secretary OF State
was the only officer who could decide the
matter.
The dispatches further say the British
embassy here has taken the matter up
with the State Department, and Will
make further efforts TO have Lynche-
haun returned. Great Britain hopes to
obtain possession Of Lynchehaun by ap-
pealing to Secretary Hay.
