HIS EIGhTIETH ANNIVERSARY
e. S. r. Butler Passed His soth Mile
stone o-day--Oldest Business
Man in Continuous Service.

e. S. r. Butler of the well-known
firm of E. 5 r. Butler and. Son, on
Market street between Fourth and
Fifth streets, to-day enters upon his
s1st year. He also enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the oldest business man in
continuous service I'm the city. He be-
gan his career with little store on
East Fourth street near Market. In
1858 his business had increased to such
an extent that he sought new quar-
ters at No. 416 Market street. He then
moved in 1908 to No. 420 Market street
where he has enlarged his output and
business.
He is probably better informed per-
sonally regarding the growth of the
city than any other man now living.
In fact his life has included the great
er part Of the active career Of the ma
ton. and he has lived from tallow dips
to whale oil and camphene coal gas
and electricity.
Every summer he spends many
weeks at Rehoboth, and yesterday he
came back from Delaware's seashore
resort TO be in Wilmington on the S0th
anniversary Of his birth to-day.
Mr. Butler is probably one Of the
best known citizens Of Wilmington and
several generations Of people have
bought books. papers and stationery
at his place OF business. He Is happy
and healthy and tomorrow he will re-
turn to Rehoboth for few more weeks
of the balmy air OF the seashore. And
it is worthy of note that he is one Of
the original Delaware Republicans. be-
ing one of the few who voted for John
c. Fremont in 1856.

esting little child, was crossing Fourth

This City
SEARCH FOR GEMS FRUITLESS

While sleeping on a p, b. and W..
railroad train early yesterday morning.
Sol Urbach, New York diamond
merchant, was robbed Of a walldt con-
tanning unset diamonds valued at s4O,-
600.
Urbach was on his way from New
York to Baltimore. He told the Balt-
more police that he boarded the train
at Jersey city and got a lower berth
in the Baltimore sleepr. He undressed,
placing the wallet containing the dia-
monds in his vest His watch chain
and charm were also in his vest, and
he placed the whole under his pillow
before retiring. He awakened when
the train got to Wilmington, and felt
under his pillow for his watch, so he
could see the time. To mis- great sur
prise, he could not find his vest nor
any trace Of his valuables.
He called the sleeping car conductor
and explained the situation. Search
was at once instituted for the missing
articles, but they could not be found.
Urbach told Captain Puphrey, Of the
Baltimore police, that the stones were
all loose and of various sizes and he
thought it would be a hard matter to
identify them. He also stated that he
was a member of the jewelers. Pro-
tective Association.
Inasmuch as Urbach had stated that
he had missed his valuables at Will
mington and there seemed no possible
ity that they had been taken even
within the borders of Maryland, Cap
tain Pumphrey referred the diamond
man to the Pinkerton Detective Agency
as that firm has charge of the Pro-
tective Association work
Urbach said that he had come to Bal
timore on business, but as he was
without his stock in trade he conclud-
ed ne would go back home. Al de-
tective headquarters it was stated thai

and had seen him stow away his valu-
ables for the night and while the mar
was asleep had slipped the vest ans

ALL SUSPECTS
WILL BE FREED
Authorities Find No Evidence
Against Men Arrested in
FTankiSh Case
FOLLOWING OTHER CLUES

After careful investigation on the
part Of the authorities the negroes who
have been under arrest suspected of
being connected with the assault upon
Mrs. Beatrice Frankish and her daugh-
ter, Miss Gussie Leitch, will be dis
charged from custody, Robert Lee, one
of the men arrested, already having
been given his freedom.
Yesterday afternoon Harold Reed,
colored, aged q years, was arrested in
connection with the case He was
taken into custody by Chief of Police
Black and officer David Wardell. the
man having been located on the farm
of Isaac Gregg about a mile from
Faulkland. The officers went to the
Gregg farm in Lyn Thomas automo-
bile and found the negro at work with
IA threshing crew
Reed asserted that he had been in
Wilmington on Saturday night and
Sunday, and knew nothing of the crime.
Upon investigation his story was cor
roborated by the local authorities He.
together with Walter Russell. the other
suspect, viii be released to-day, as
there appears to be no evidence sufi-
cient TO connect them with the crime
The charge of trespass preferred by
Mrs. Frankish against Russell before
Magistrate Williamson, Of Hockessin
will probably not be pressed.
To Run Down Other Clues.
In the meantime the authorities have
several other clues in connection with
the case which will be worked out to
the end. Mrs. Frankish has given a
fairly good description of the negro and
on this the police department hope tc
be able to arrest the guilty man.
This afternoon a search is beina
made for another negro who may be
implicated in the case but as yet he
has not been taken into custody Mrs
Frankish and Miss Leitch are both re-
covering from the effects of their in

UNCLE SAM PLANS

Our GunbOatS Will Speak As

For Help
SHIPS ON WAY TO HAVANA

BY Our own Wire. Publishers Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.-Aeting
Secretary OF state Bacon announced
this morning that the United states
cruiser Denver has been ordered to Ha-
vana, Cuba, and should arrive there
tonight or tomorrow morning. The
gunboat Marietta, which Mr.. Bacon
says Is now az Monte Cristi, Santo Do
mingo. has been ordered 20 Cienfuegos,
Cuba. The orders were issued by di-
rection of President Roosevelt, at Oys-
ter Bay.
The Des Moines win be held at Key
West until further orders.
1t is the purpose Of the administra-
ton to have these three vessels IN
readiness not only to protect Americans
now In Cuba, but also to land marines
IN order to put a stop to the revolution
n q request for such action should be
made by the Cuban government
The entire program regarding Cuban
affairs Is being managed by the Presi-
dent at oyster Bay, and is said to be
the result Of plans laid out several days
ago
Army Officer There.
Unusual activity has been displayed
at the War and Navy Departments
since the situation IN Cuba became
critical one Of the first evidences OF
the concern OF the administration was
the trip Of Brigadier- General J. Frank
lin Bell. chief of stan Of the army to
oyster Bay about two weeks ago. Az
that time It was given out that General
Bells visit was on account OF the trou-
A. a.. ~ ha
negro troops from Brownsville Texas
Although the matter was undoubtedly
discussed. there Is no question now
that the main purpose OF his trip was
to consult with the President regarding
possible military operations IN Cuba
In this connection. there is some sig
lnifcance I'm the fact that to-day Majo
u T. Ladd, one OF the trusted ofhceri
Of the military secretary's office, start
ed for Havana, "on months leav
OF absence"
Although It IS announced that Majo
Ladd's reason FOR going TO Cuba Is &
