U. S. SEM TOR ARTHUR P. GORmAN DEAD
MaryIands Senior Senator and WelI.KnOwn
Politician Dies Suddenly at Washington.

P0liucian DleS Suuueuiy at UasnihBioh'
The Senate of the United States
lost monumental figure and the Dem
ocrat party one of it's most notable
leaders Monday when Arthur Pue Cor
man, of Maryland, died suddenly at
his home in Washington. His death
resulted from an illness of five months
duration, but was wholly unexpected
as the venerable Senator has for sew
eral days shown improvement. He
partook of nourishment at 8 o'clock in
the morning, but few minutes before
8 he was stricken with heart failure
and a few minutes past he was dead.
The death of the great Maryland lead
er caused gloom throughout the Cap
itol. where the Senator was known not
! only to the members of both houses,
but to practically all minor officials and
employees, and where he was on terms
of friendship with probably more men,
from Vice President down to laborer,
than ANY other man in Congress-
Trained by no less a statesman thar
Stephen A. Douglas, Arthur Pue Cor
man rose from position of page IN th'
Senate to become eventually one o
the leaders of that tbody-athing which
never happened before in the history o
the Senate.

ONLY TWO OF JAMES PROPERTIES SOLD
Mrs. Margaret Bailey Gets the I0 Acre Farm
and w. O. Hoffecker the South Street Lots.

Mrs. Margaret Bailey Gets the l9 Acre Farm
and w. O. tiOffecker the South Street Lots.
The Executors sale of the property
of Mrs. Hannah James deceased, took
place last Saturday and attracted con
siderable interest. The bidding how
ever, was slow, and because of the in
sufficiency of price, four of the prop
critics were Withdrawn. The 10 acre
plot of land situated near RothwelPs
Landing, adjoining the "Bailey Farm"
was purchased by Mrs. Margaret
Bailey for $4,000. This plot will now
be made part Of her farm. The South
Street lot opposite the residence of
Mrs. H. W. Tschudy, which was ad-
yertised as two building lots, was
sold as one building lot (l04x20O) and
was knocked off to Walter o. Hoifecker
for 1926. The latter bought it for in
vestment. The home property of the
late Mrs. James, corner of Main and
South Streets was mot bid in as
expected. The bidding closed at a
little over $110O, considerable less than
its estimated value, and was with
drawn. The same was the case of the
Fisher street properties. On Thurs
day, July 10, at two o'clock Executor
Rldgaway will sell 25 shares of Fruit
Growers National Bank stock. Sci

SMYRNA "SPEEDWAY" GETS
FAVOR OF KENT LEVY COURT
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS GRANT ASSOclA-
TON RIGHT TO BOMBAY HOOK R.R. SITE
Organizers of Movement Will Meet Friday
Night and Effect Permanent Organization
and Town Council Will Be Visited.

The movement for converting the
old Bombay Hook Railway site from
Main Street Smyrna, to "Hudson's
Gate" into a Speedway" is meeting
with progress and sufficient encourage
ment has been warranted to call spe-
cial meeting of horsemeE and citizens to
talk over the matter and arrive at some
definite plans for starting the work.
The meeting will be held at Charles
r. Massey's Implement store on Fri.
day evening at eight o'clock. The
matter of gaining the consent of the
Kent County Levy Court was put in
the hands of Levy Courtman Hudson,
who brought the subject before the
Levy Court at its meeting yesterday.
The Court unanimously granted the
favor. Friday evening a committee
will await upon the Smyrna Town
Council to make a request. In cas- e
their request is granted, the Commit
tee will ask that the Speedway Associ-
alton have the privilege, as near as
possible, to regulate the road and have
laws governing same. OF course be
ing a public road, travel cannot bt
stopped, but then the Association car
regulate the use or abuse of Speedway
privileges and that would mean mucl
in making the project success. Witt
what work is promised by the horse
men, it is figured that 5000 or more il
: cash will be needed to put the speed
way in order and as soon as an organ
ization is effected, committee dul
authorized, will pass around with
> subscription list which it is hoped wi
have the generous support of hors'
men and citizens in general. If th
D funds warrant, trees will be planted q

CHEswoLD, June 4:-The strawberry
market was lively again to-day (Mon-

prices soaring. The thirty-two crate

the prices of which ranged from ST.

way of selling, averaged for the day
about 81 cents. These are the best
prices realized here since buying on

due to underproduction caused by the

ANNIVERSARY Of CORONATION
Revolutionists Dividing Into
Two Hostile Camps and
Preparing for War.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-A-Graye news
comes from the provinces. Instead OF
acting as a sedative the assembling
of Parliament has been marked by an
alarming increase in revolutionary
agitation and terroristic activity on
one hand and the Black Hundred ac-
tivity on the other. Extremists on
both sides are thus divided into two
hostile camps and both are arming as
iii preparing for the inevitable civil
war. Many sanguinary conflicts con
tinue to be reported. The govern.
ment's refusal to grant a general am
nesty TO all political prisoners has fur
nished the proletariat organizations a
powerful weapon and they threaten
that unless tomorrow, the anniversary
of the Emperor's coronation, sees an
amnesty proclaimed, to call a general
strike as q preliminary to an armed
uprising. Constant rrmors of reac-
tionary coup detat, the dispersal of
! Parliament and the establishment OF
a dictatorship under General Trepoff
add to the general excitement and
the Rech today appeals to the govern
ment to put an end to the disqlMeting
report by an official denial.

ACCIDENT OR MURDER,
Body of Rev. j. w. Hoover Found In
Pond-No Reason Known for
Suicide.

Moline, Ill.,, May 26.-The Body oi
the Rev. f. w Hoover, pastor of the
Congregational Church at Sherrard, 6
mining town near this city, was founl
floating in a pond near Sherrard to
day. Indications point either to acci
dental death or murder, as no cause
for suicide can be learned.
The body was entirely nude and on
the bank was pile Of clean clothing
This would look as if the minister
had gone into the pond TO take a BATH
but the authorities have discovered
a bruise upon the head, which appears
to have been made with blunt instru
ment. This gives color 10 the theory
that the minister was murdered and
his body thrown into the pond. Mr.
Hoover spent the evening before his
death rehearsing a class of girls fol
a May festival. He was last seen al
about 1890 o'clock. The pond is some
distance from the village and 1t Is A
mystery why he should have sought
the water at that time of night if he
met accidental death. The body had
been in the water several hours. M.
Hoover was 35 years old. He hal
been pastor of the Sherrard church for
two years, He is not known TO have
had any enemies in the congregation
or village. He was married and lad
a wife and two children, who live in
Peoria.
