WAS NOT In THIS
JURISDICTION
Oil Tanker Roma Was Attach
ed on Sailors Claim for
Wages by Mistake
SHIP HAD OTHER TROUBLES

Judge Bradford. in the United States
Count to-day, dismissed the attachment
against the oil taner Roma and that
vessel will probably proceed to-day to
Iabine, Tex, her destination.
The boat was attached at Marcus
Hook yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Marshal Mitchell, on claim for wages,
filed by J. II. Sheehan, a sailor. 1t
was proven to-day however, that the
vessel was just within the Pennsyl-
vania boundary. and consequently in
the jurisdiction of that State.
To add more to the vessels troubles.
the crew of five sailors and the second
naate refused 20 sail with the vessel
yesterday just at time when she was
about to staut on her voyage. The
mate says he quit only because his eyes
were troubling him, and he feared ia
leave without first receiving medical
attention. The captain, however, ac-
cused him of leaving in sympathy for
the sailors and threatens TO have his
license revoked. The captain later
signed a disabled seanan's paper for
the mate, and the after went TO Phila-
delphia to be treated in the Marine
Hospital there. A new crew was ship
ped and the boat left these waters this
afternoon.

CHRIST RISEN"
SABBATH THEME
Flowers and Music to En-
phaSize the Words Of
GIadneSS
MELODY THROUGHOUT CITY

Tomorrow viii be Easter the great
day Of Joy in all the Christian world.
Next only to Christmas when Christ
was born. comes Easter when He arose
from the dead. The flowers and
music will emphasize the words Of
gladness which all ministers Of the
Christian gospel win express in telling
fthe Resurrection of Christ.
The brightness and cheerfulness Of
the occasion win he made all the
greater by comparison with the 40 days
of Lent. and especially the tragedy OF
Good Friday. The dawning Of the day
will mean that the period Of penitence
and Of sorrow is at an end and that
the era Of JOY has begun.
While the solemnity OF Good Friday
went beyond the walls Of the churches
and into the business life Of the cities
so the joy of Easter will not be con-
fined to the formal services. The day
win bring recollections Of Sunday
school to those persons who have DRIFT
ed out Of the church. and its glar
Significance wip be felt indoors and
outdoors and almost everywhere.
In church-loving city like Whining
ton Easter is a great day.
For many weeks singers have been
rehearsing for the special numbers on
THE musical programs in the churches.
II Is probable that at no time in the
whole year is there so much melody in
the whole city as at the 1870 a. m. SER
vice Easter Day With the constant
ay increasing interest i'm good music.
each Easter marks a step forward IN
the taste Of the churchgoers and in the
ekill Of the singers. The high stand
ard in Wilmington is only evidence OF
the culture of its citizens which is
manifested i'm other lines.
The spirit of the season is plainly
seen to-day in the happy faces Of the
hurrying throngs. who are seen from
early morning till late in the evening,
homeward bound with their arms filled
with beautiful plants or the good
things that will grace the dinner table
at the nlorrow's feast.
Altogether, this Easter promises TO
be one of the happiest, prettiest and
most trudy delightful from every view
koint than any which have passed
down in the misty records Of the past.
