District Attorney Sims of Chicago
and James H. Wilkerson, his assist
ant, have come to Washington to get
material that will help them to meet
the argument of Miller in support Of
his demurrer. They were in confer
ence today with both the outgoing
and the incoming attorney General,
and discussed with Justice Moody and
Attorney General Bonaparte the pc
culiar situation in which the presi-
dents action had placed them. None
of the conferrees seemed over and
above pleased with their case.
The situation was brought to the
attention Of several of the lawyers Of
the Senate today, but they declined
to discuss it. One Of the most prom
inent Of them said: cit is too grave
legal question to go into offnand. But
it must be remembered that in con-
strung law the courts as rule con-
slider the intention Of the body that en-
acted it. And of course there can be
no contention as to the intention Of
Congress.

short lecture tour in the west. When
seen at the Pennsylvania station he
said that as it was a we'll known fact
that nothing was accomplished prior
to Christmas at the short session, and
as. congress would adjourn for the
holidays Thursday, he wo1 d fill
fow lecture dates. After t f,sl OF

Senator Tillman chad something to
say about the income tax issue in
which his name has figured in the
Palmetto State press. He was vigor-
Gus in his utterances and talked as
follows:
There have been so many malici-
Gus and untruthful statements made
in regard to my Sinking the income
tax that I want to let my fellow cit
izens who are interested understand
exactly what the facts are.
"I have done comparatively little
lecturing for several years past, and
those newspapers which have howled
most are entirely familiar with the
severe spell of illness which had
with my throat in the winter Of 1903,
as we'll as with another dangerous ILL
ness, which caused me to be absent
from my post in Washington during
the entire session of 1904. During
this year I have filed many engage
ments, and will at the proper time
make return on the income received.
The income tax which is now being
collected is for the year 1905. At no
time since the income tax law has
been in operation has my income
from all sources, including my salary
as senator, after deducting the ex-c
penses and exemption, caused me to
be subject to the income tax.
''I am informed by good lawyers
that my salary as United States SEN
ator does not come within the rule
I have never lodged taxes Of any
sort, and I have never lodged any
men or missiles they have hurled at
ne, and nothing but envy and ha-
tired of a few irreconcilables in South
Carolina has brought this matter into
prominence. The yarn about my
making $4,000 this summer is alb
surd, as a moments thought would
easily show, as there have been only
four months since the South Carolina
campaign closed. The envious ours,
who have had so much to say about
my lectures, would like to help the
negroes Of Chicago and other north
ern cities gag me, if they could"

POLICEMAN TURNER PURCHASES A HOME.
Gets the Lewis Hamilton Property, Corner
Main Street and Hamilton Lane.

Policeman Benjamin w. Turner has
purchased the ''Lewis Hamilton prop
erty," corner of Main street and Ham
ilton Lane, belonging to Mrs. Maria
Hamilton, and will fit it up for home
for himself. The deal which was for
consideration of $4,000, was made
through the agency of Realestate
Broker II. d. Boyer, and included be-
sides the double dwelling which for
several years has been occupied by
colored families, a lot 30x100feet front
ing on Main street. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Turner will lower and re-
model the double the dwelling and
convert it into one property.
Many people in that part of the town
are hoping that this is but step in the
direction of eliminating the colored
families from that part of the town
and that in a little while the dwelling
line will be extended down to Lake
Como.

HOTEL MEN TO BE TRIED AT COURT.
Vigorous Fight to Be Waged Between the

Against Harrington aud Milford Hotels.

Hotel and Temperance WOrkers-Evdence
Against Harrington aud Milford Hotels.
The coming session of Kent County
Court will be a battle royal between
the hotel and temperance workers and
the bestcounsel they can pick. Henry
Ridgely will represent the temperance
people in all their fights, although
there are rumors that there would be
associated with him, by the Law and
Order people, such Kent counsel as
George Massey Jones, William M.
Hope and Samuel Ii. Harrington.
There is also an understanding that
James III. Hughes has been obtained
by j. G. Armstrong and others and
will, with former Senator Richard r.
Kenney, Arley B. Magee and William
l.. Gooding and Frank H. Davis,
represent the various hotel applicants
or defendants. The desire of so ar
ranging counsel, it is said, is to keep
the fighting out of politics and particu
larly out of factional politics. Beside
the remonstrances filed against j. @.
Armstrong, late of Hotel Brayton, Re
hoboth, but now seeking to reopen the
Harrington House at Harrington, and
Alexander Newman, the applicant for
renewal of license of the Delaware
House at Harrington, in Kent county,
it has developed that there are five
specific cases of alleged selling liquor
on Sunday, running back to July A,
and continuing up to September 30,
against the Windsor Hotel, Milford
similar cases on varying charges
against the Central Hotel and National
Hotel, Milford. Gambling, also is
charged. Mr.. Ridgely is preparing
one of the most vigorous fight of his
legal career and a number of temperance
workers from other parts of the STATE
are coming to Dover to help him. &C

MOB AvERTED AT MERRY.GO ROUND.
Frank AxielI Charged With Assaulting Arthur
Scott of Clayton Before Magistrate Cummins.


Scott of Clayton Before Magistrate Cummins.
There was little excitement in our
town last Saturday night when Frank
Axtell, a negro, who claims to come
from North Carolina, made an assault
upon Arthur Scott, of Clayton. The
men were attending the merry-go-
round, when Scott stumbled against
Axtell, who grew angry and drew
knife and madea slash at Scott, cutting
through his clothing and making
flesh wound on his right leg. Some
negroes standing near and who saw
the affair, took up the cause of Scott,
and rushed at Axtell, who Immediately
fled but was pursued by both white
and colored men and boys, who ran
him out of the town. Had they caught
the negro they probably would have
roughly handled him. The officers
swore out warrant and went in search
OF the assailant, whom they found and
arrested and guarded him until Mon
day morning, when he was brought be-
fore Justice Cummins, when hepleaded
guilty to the charge of assault and
battery and was fined and sent to
Dover Jail. Scott is not seriously in
iured, but from the vicious conduct OF
Axtell it would appear he intended
| doing so.
