JUDGES REACH A DECISION

as to whether Governor Lea Is Warranted
IN Removing From once sheriff Lynch
of Sussex County.
Chief Justice Lore, Chancellor Mich
olson and Judges Boyce, Spruance,
Grubb and Pennewill, comprising the
Ghancellor and judges of the State
courts, held a conference in the judges
parlor in the county Court House,
this morning, upon the question of
the provision Of the new Constitution,
which makes it mandatory upon the
governor to remove a public officer
from Office upon conviction of misbe-
havior in office.
The matter was first brought up by
Governor Lea's attention being called
TO certain acts of Sheriff Lynch of
Sussex county, who recently pleaded
guilty to the charge of laxity in his
duties and was fined $500 and costs
by the Court Of General Sessions.
1t is understood that there is no
doubt as to the provision being man
datory; but that the conference was
for the purpose of deciding whether
Sheriff Lynch's act constituted misbe-
havior as contemplated by the pro.
vision Of the new Constitution. The
judges are deciding the question at
the request of Governor Lea.
After the conference the decision was
sent to the governor, but the judges
would not disclose its nature in ad-
vance of its receipt by the governor.

TAX SUITS
Probability That They WIN be Tried at
THIS Term OF Court.

Probabfity That They WIN be Tried at
THIS Term OF Court.
Although City Solicitor Townsend
has advised the city to settle the tax
cases against the Wilmington City
Electric Co. and the Delmarvia Tele-
phone Go. by compromising, the cases
are still on the court calendar.
According TO the records, the Will
mington City Electric Co. in 1903 had
90 poles IN the Northern district and
Al2 in the Southern district. In 1903
tle city ass ssment upon these poles
was Sl0O000 in the Northern and
SO 600 in the Southern district. In
1874 the assessment was 500, 0O0 in the
Northern and S54 600 in the Southern.
In 1905 the assessment was $3.50, 600 in
the Northern and s75 600 in the South
ern.
The electric company excepts, on the
ground that the certificate set forth
that the city had exhausted every
effort TO collect the tax before proceed
ing against the real estate. The cases
will probably come up for trial at this
term.

This City, Five Weeks.
He KILLED HIMSELF THERE

AT HIS BOARDIN GHOUSE
He KILLED HIMSELF THERE
After Returning From a Visit
to Wyoming.
MOTIVE IS SHROUDEO IN MYSTERY

While kneeling at his bed as if in prayer.
William R. Schantz, aged 55 years, OF
Wyoming, this State, shot him self with
a 3s-calibre revolver, early this morning,
the bullet going through the right side
OF his forehead, causing instant death.
The deed was committed between 6
and z O'Clock at the boardinghouse Of
Miss Maggie Wharton No 333 East
Fourth street, where Schantz had been
boarding for the past five weeks.
The deceased was employed by the
Phiips-Thompson Co, -four and feed
merchants, at 200-202 East Fourth
street.
No reason has been assigned for Schantz
taking his life He had not been conf
planning about anything
On Saturday evening he paid his board
bill for the week and remarked, inciden-
tally. that he was going home. He left
the house with a suit case and nothing
more was seen or heard Of him until this
morning about oclock when he returned
10 the clearinghouse, evidently having
come from Wyoming on the train arriving
here at 40 o'clock.
Upon reaching his clearinghouse he
went TO his room on the second floor. He
roomed with another boarder, but the
latter left the room about 6 o'clock and
when he went downstairs he told Miss
Wharton that Schantz was walking the
floor when he left the room.
About $50 O'Clock Miss Warton went
10 Schantz's room to call him for break
fast, and after calling him several times
and getting no response she looked into
the room 10 see if he was there. She saw
him kneeling at the bed, and thinking
that he was praying, and not wanting 70
disturb him, she went downstairs She
waited few minutes and not hearing any
sound coming from Schantzs room again
went upstairs and into Schantz's room
and upon entering she noticed Schantz IN
the same position as she first saw him and
with a revolver in his rgat hand, anc
blood running down the side of his face.
She hastened downstairs and notified
some neighbors, who, in turn, notified
the police and DR.. II. G.. Buckmaster
DR.. Buckmaster pronounced the mar
dead, but said his body was still warm
After the police had arrived Corone
Purks was notified and took charge o
the body.
Although several people we're in th'
house at the time of the shooting nobod,
heard the shot. The bullet entered tn
forehead Just over the right eye, anC
lodged in the temple.
The authorities are endeavoring Il
learn whether Schantz had any troubl
while away, 10 see whether there was an.
motive for self-destruction.
Deceased leaves a family, but hoy
many children could not be learned today
