MEREDITH FAVORS
LIMITED MARRIAGES
Novelist Says Such Change Would
Cause "a Devil of an Uproar"

LONDON, Sept PA silly-season
newspaper discussion of the marriage
question has provoked a remarkable
Statement of opinion from the novelist
George Meredith, who in the Mail well
comes free discussion Of the subject,
though, as he confesses, everything
: that ought to be said has to be cut in
half" He predicts a change in the
legal conditiNps of marriage and fore
shadows a state of society permitting
marriages for certain limited periods,
the state enforcing a provision of
money during that period to provide
for and educate children, the govern
ment possibly taking charge of this
fund. Mr.. Meredith says:
There will be devil of an uproar
before such a change can be made.
There will be great shock, but look
back and see what shocks there have
been and what changes have now oc-
CURED in the marriage business in the
past" -
Mr.. Meredith foresees great difficulty
In English conservatism, notably re-
vealed in criticisms, Indicating the
Englishman's persistency In regarding
any new trait as sign of disease" !"
S. YETI Mr.. Meredith says, "it is a sign
of health and I am very glad if any
words of mine can help air the sub
ject"

came to her assistance only to be
beaten down. The blows were deifv-
cred with a slungshot.
The young woman did not lose con-
sciousness. and rushed to the room of
John liable, 1Wfo lived in the house,
and asked him to accompany her down
stairs. When they reached the first
floor of the house they found the
wounded father of the young woman
wandering about with a lighted lamp
in his hand. He was badly cut by the
blows he had sustained.
Mr.. RoubaI sustained three deep
scalp wounds, and the girl suffered
several bruises of the head and arms

house through kitchen window and
escaped through the street door. He
did not succeed in getting away with
any plunder, as Miss Roubal prevented
his making any extended search of the
place.
Neighbors in the vicinity lean to the
opinion that the burglar made a mis-
take in entering the place at all, and
think that he really thought he was
getting into the home of Emil Tesch,

st. Agnes parish.
Mr.. RoubaE says that he believes
the man was not seeking money at all
and that the crime was committed for
the sole purpose of making an attack
on his daughter. Roubal is fifty-e eight
years old, an Austrian, and is In the
employ of Lindeke, Warner & Sons.

TRADERS GO WILD
OVER WHEAT AGAIN
Price Advances 81 Cents on
IntimatIons OF a Big Export
Demand

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-In whirl Of
excitement wheat for December deliv-
cry today advanced to point 31zc
above yesterdays closing quotations.
Intimations of big export demand
were the main factor in causing the
advance. The market closed almost at
the highest point. Corn is up NO &c.
Oats are off ~ @%c. Provisions are
practically unchanged
The excitement in the wheat came
towards the close of the day. Not
withstanding heavy receipts in the
Northwest, the market opened firm,
December being up H@Ac, at s1.105s
@1.1oa. Initial quotations on May.
We're 1sc lower to " higher, at ss1.121k
@E123h. The improved tone at the.
start was due to higher cables, wet
weather in Manitoba and Minnesota
and decreased shipments from Argen-s
tina. Several prominent operators
were active buyers of the December
option, the demand being SO pro-
nounced as to indicate general cover
ing by shorts. From $1.103s, at which
price December sold soon after the
opening, an advance to $1.113s was
made, May in the meantime selling up
to $1127s- The market then broke
under fair realizing sales, the impress
sion being that some Of the big holders
were quietly disposing of their lines
while ostensibly supporting the bull
movement Around Sill for Decem-
Der, the. market again received fair
support, resulting in a comparatively
steady tone. The bears were given
encouragement about this time by a.
report of a st. Louis trade journal
stating that weather conditions in the
Southwest continued favorable for the
termination of the newly sown crop
Increased primary receipts were an
other bear factor.
The market, however, was drifting
rather aimlessly when suddenly trad
ing became widely active. News from
abroad was considered extremely bull
ish. Shorts, alarmed at the prospects,
were instantly anxious buyers. With
light offerings, prices rose rapidly
One of the main features in the for
elgn situation was q rumor that the
French government was contemplating
the removal of the import duty on
wheat. Another factor was the an
nouncement made by a well known
foreign crop statistician that the re-
lquirements of importing countries this
year would be the heaviest on record.
These advices. combined with reports
from st. Louis of good demand for
flour, were the principal influences that
contributed to the late bullishness. just
before the close the December option
sold at s1.14. May advanced to $1141a
Final quotations on December were
$1.13A @1.13B. May closed at $1.143s
@1141 ".

14Il "a Street
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. %
There is no doubt that the action of
the treasury department in regard to
imports of frozen wheat. as announced
in these dispatches yesterday, is in
tended to keep the farmer vote Of the
Northwest in line for Roosevelt. The
board of general appraisers decided
that frosted wheat from Canada was
an unenumerated article. dutiable at
10 per cent. The duty on sound wheat
is specific, 25 cents a bushel, and this
classification of frosted wheat meant
that it could be brought in at about 10
cents a bushel. An acceptance of the
classification might have affected the
farmer vote in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas, and in order to head off dis
affection an appeal will be taken in
the United States district court of
Minnesota. Walter E. Clark.

The family of John Jones of Clay

report from Bridgeton, y. j., that
the body of their son ElwOod Jones,
who was working on the Pennsylvania
bridge near Wilmington on the 2Gth,
was found at Woodland Beach. The
terrible and anxious suspense OF the
family who are endeaYoring through
every means possible to recover the
body, was given some hope by spe.
cial dispatch published in the uDrliHg
-NetOS as follows: According to re-
port received here the Delaware bay,
of Bay Side, has given up two more
bodies, making four in all. One was
was found Sunday night by Captain
James Campbell, a fisherman, and
taken to Woodland Beach. Nothing
is known here as to whether 1t was
the form of man or woman. The
report also reached Coroner Hall that
another body was found there, but in
the absence of any definite infOrma-
ton the coroner has taken no action
The body of the man found floating
off Bay Side on Thursday still remains
unidentified.
Yesterday, Frank Jones, brother
of ElwOod Jones, deceased, came to
Smyrna from Wilmington to see what
he could learn about the body found
at Woodland Beach. Owing to the
lack of time and the bad condition of
the roads, he did not go down to
Woodland, but inquired of John W.
GOldsbOrough and other men likely
to hear about the doings of this
bayside resort, but to no avail. No
one in Smyrna was able to give him
the desired information, so he re-
turned to Wilmington on the evening
train. A strong suspicion is held in
Wilmington that it is the body of
| ElwoOd Jones and as he was drowned
late at night, his body was carried
down the river in the ice flow. Cor
oners of DelaW are and New JERSEY
have been notified to be on the out

CONFERENCE BEGINS AT DOVER TODAY
Session Opened This Morning with Bishop
Fitzgerald Presiding Gossip Concerning
Eldership and the Rev. v. S. Collins.

Preliminary to the opening of the
business sessions of the conference
this morning by Bishop Fitzgerald
and Presiding Elders Watt, Baker,
Rooms and Stengle, a missionary
service was held last night in Wesley
Church, the conference seat. Special
music was furnished by the augmented
choir of Wesley Church, composed of
the foremost singers of Dover, and
the missionary address was made by
the Rev. G. w. Strickland, who was
selected for that honor by conference
at Easton year ago. It was plea
for missionary effort at home and
abroad, based on the Scriptural in
junction ego We forth into every
land Conference opened formally
at O'clock this morning with a praise
service. followed by the celebration
of the Holy Communion. Following
the love feast, conference will devote
itself to business. Bishop Fitzgerald,
who is to preside, will have his head
quarters and will hold cabinet sessions
IN the Hotel Richardson, owing to the
illness of Mrs. Wilson, wife of DIR. J.
ID. Wilson, by whom he was to have
been entertained. The prospective
appointment of presiding elders for
Wilmington and Dover districts to
succeed DIR. Robert Watt and DR.. G.
S. Baker, and the election of four
ministerial and four lay delegates to
the General Conference. already has
caused widespread circulation among
the pastors. The opinion seems gen
eral that DR.. A. S. Mowbray will re-
linquish the position as conference sec.
rotary, which he has held fourteen
years, to become presiding elder of
Wilmington district For Dover dis
trict the choice is said to have narrow
ed down between the Rev. Vaughan
S. Collins of Smyrna, the Rev. S. NJ.
Morgan of Milford, the Rev. L. E..
Barrett of Dover, and Rev. T. G..
Wyatt of Middletown, with chances
said to be most favorable for Mr.. Col
Inns. The selection of Mr.. Collins
and DIR. Mowbray for presiding elders
would leave Port Deposit or Smyrna
open for DIR. Watt.
For ministerial delegates to the
General Conference, it now appears
that Presiding elder Watt, DR.. A. S.
Mowbray, Presiding Elder W. G.
Rooms and Presiding Elder Adam
Stengle will be honored. Another
ticket launched includes DR.. Now
bray, DR.. Wilbur F. Cochran. the
Rev. Charles A. Hill and the Rev. T.
@. Wyatt. This is designed to take
the honor from the presiding elders.
