April fool jokes were much in evil
dence on Saturday but our genial post
master, Thomas Jefferson had them all
outwitted, when it came to making his
patrons feel like "thirty cents" On
the face of the postoffice clock, which
timepiece is resorted to every hour of
the day for the correct time, Mr.. JEFF
ferson had substituted another face
which he had cleverly drawn, beaming
with radiant smiles like the face of the
rising sun, underneath which were the
prominent words "April Fool" Most
everyone who is accustomed to look
ing at the clock was taken in by the
joke and no one got more genuine fun
out of it than Postmaster Jefferson
and his lady assistants. Miss Hester
Rutledge, and Miss Henrietta Collins.

NEW MACHINERY ADDED TO BASKET MILL
Latest Improved Swing and Feed Saws In
stalled the Past Week-Pirst Six Days Run.

The first weeks run of the Smyrna
Basket Mill has given much encourage
ment to Smyrna & Kent County Manu-
featuring Company. About thirty
men and boys are employed and the
start was made on grape baskets, of
which several thousand have been put
up. The boys cought on very readily
and some have nearly doubled their
speed in making them. The large
orders of grape carriers and baskets
will be filed first and out of theyway
before the manufacture of peach bes
kets is taken up. Some little trouble
has been experienced in getting things
started up which was natural in start
ing up practically a new enterprise.
But everything is getting in nice run
ming order and the plant will increase
its capacity from day to day. Two
new pieces of machinery have beer
added, and swing saw and the Other
q self feed gang saw.

ARGUMENT IN HOFFEcKER DISBARMENT
Closed Last Thursday and Case Is Now Await
ing Decision of Chancellor Nicholson.

J. Harvey Whiteman, of counsel for
the rule began the closing argument
in the disbarment rule against James
b. Hoffecker, Jr., in the Court of
Chancery, Wilmington, Thursday
morning, at the close of which the
case was submitted to the Chancellor,
who will decide whether Mr.. Hoffecker
as trustee of the estate of the late Jo-
seph Teas, has been guilty of such ir-
regularities as to warrant his being
prevented from practlcing further at
the Court of Chancery or whether he
had merely erred in his judgment. Mr..
Whiteman, in opening asked that the
rule be made absolute. He said this
ruleis not laid against Mr.. Hoffecker
for those things, in the management
of the estate, that were done rightly,
but rather for those things which have
shown gross mismanagement. Mr..
Whiteman further explained the high
duty that member of the bar owes to
tuc COAmuulVJs hO oaAA law O1o udu-
die annually, thousands of dollars
without one iota of security or without
even the scratch of a pen to secure
them. This rule should be made abso-
lutte, he said, because of the fragrant
violation of the law. Whenever a trus-
tee steps outside the line of duty he is
assuming a risk. Mr.. Whiteman said
the enterprise in which Hoffecker had
invested the funds of the estate was
merely speculative and has never
| yielded an income. Mr.. Whiteman
said he did not think one cent of the
money of the Teas estate has gone
into Mr.. Hoffecker's pocket. Mr.. Hof-
fecker should not have interested the
funds of an estate in a hazardous en-
terprise. He again asked that the rule
be made absolute. Anthony Higgins,
representing James H. Hoffecker, Jr.,
for nearly two hours at the closing
session of the Court of Chancery elo.
quently and passionately pleaded fol
his client, making what was generally
conceded the best argument of his ca
reer as attorney. Mr.. Higgins took
up the investments one by one and
marshalled telling arguments to show
that Mr.. Hoffecker had made them all
in good faith, as they were promising
in financial returns when they were
made. Mr.. Higgins contended there
had been no embezzlement and nC
charge of fraud had been made, there.
fore the disbarment proceedings were
without warrant and he moved tina
the rule against his client be dismissed
and he be allowed to maintain hii
status before the bar of chancery
When the Chancellor gives his deci
sion. should it be in favor of disbar
ment. Hoffecker can appeal to fiv'
Judges sitting as an appellate court
, Chancellor Nicholson after the cas-
was concluded intimated that he ma.
, hand down his decision in few days
Mr.. Higgins was given until to-mor
row to file additional affidavits.

 Sanitation, transportation and sub sistence are the only serious problems, he says. and with those properly. or ganized mere engineering difficulties will be overcome with mathematical mains to be considered Every engi- neering difficulty has been discounted.

Although Mir Shonts will not tell the complete story unless per mitted to do so by the President, enough has been obtained from him and from others who are intimately ac- quaInted with the facts to explain MT Wallace's defection and the reasons which led up to the present situation.
