urer Will Place You
Under Arrest

Since 1897 there has been on the
statute books OF the State law pro
viding for the payment Of a 20 cent
capitaton tax annually by all nom

ONE DUPONT co.
IS DISSOLVED

Announcement is made by Secretary of
State Cahall in a legal notice from his
office in Dover of the dissolution of the
e. I. dupont deNemours Powder Com
pany OF Delaware.
This caused much speculation as to
whether the big powder company was dis
solved, but such is not the case. The big
company has the same name but Is a New
Jersey corporation. The Delaware cor
poraton has practically been out Of ex-
istence for sometime, and was a small
and separate concern.
1t was learned that the dissolution Of
the Delaware corporation has no signi-
fcance of Importance. 1t was a small
company that did business in some States
where there were laws prohibiting large
companies doing business, and these laws
have been repealed by recent State Legis-
latures.

FIGHTING FOR
DIMPFEL ESTATE
William II. Cooper, JT., Wants
to Save $75,OCO to Heirs
of Former DelaWaTean
CASEIN TALBOT, Md, COURT

William II. Cooper, Jr., has returned
from Easton. Md, where he made an
argument for the defense in an important
case involving the disposition Of a s75..
900 portion Of an estate.
The action is that growing out Of tn,
disposal Of $4,000 that was bequeathed
under the will OF Frederick p. Dimpfel. OF
Easton. who many years ago was resi-
dent Of New Castle. Frederick p Dimpfcl.
Jr., is contesting in the Talbot County
sourts to prevent the $4,000 share that
was left in trust TO his brother. William
O'sulhvan Dimpfel going to the child OF
William by his second wife The claim
is set up by Frederick Dimpfel and his
family that the marriage Of William
O'sullivan Dimpfel TO his second wife was
null and void. and that therefore the wife
and child of the second marriage are not
entitled to the $4,000. William Dimpfel
was cousin Of j. Edward Addicks.
Left An Estate Of S150,000.
When Frederick p. Ddmpfel died he left
an estate of sl5o,OOO in trust for his sons
Frederick and William. William married
a daughter Of Sands Mills. Of Baltimore,
and later she obtained divorce from
him in the New York courts, which In
the decree prohibited william from marry
ing again so long as his former wife sur
vived. She later married a Mr.. Dick. a
prominent banker of Baltimore and they
now live in Salisbury. Md.
After his former wife had remarked
William o. Dimpfel welded a Miss Maria
Holiday in Washington, both giving their
residerce as the State of Maryland VII
liam married Miss Holiday in the face or
the prohibition Of remarriage that was
placed upon him by the court that granted
the divorce in New York BY the second
marriage Mr.. and Mrs. william Dmpfel
had one child. Sometime ago Dlmpfel died
and since then his widow married Edward
Wooddall Of Easton.
How The Money Went.
Under the law the $4,000 share OF the
estate left by Frederick Dimpfel. the
father. to his son william. in trust, wouid
go to williams second wife. now Mrs
Wooddall and her daughter. but Fred
erick p. Dimpfel brother Of William. is
contesting this disposition of the s75OOO
He charges that in the face Of the decree
Of the New York courts prohibiting Will
liam to remarry his marriage TO Maria
Holiday was null and void. and hence she
was not his legal wife and their daughter
by that marriage has no legal standing.
Mr.. Cooper is one Of counsel for Mrs.
woddall and her daughter. and the de-
fense is made in their behalf that they are
the legal wife and child Of William Dimp-
fel that the prohibition OF remarriage Inn
posed upon William by the New York
courts could not apply outside OF that
State. and that under the laws Of Mary
land the second marriage Of William was
entirely valid.
Mr.. Cooper made his closing argument
before the judges on Monday last but
they have not handed down their decision.
No matter how the case is decided, It is
likely that it may be carried up to the
Supreme Court.

FENCE QUESTION
IS A PRIVATE ONE
City Solicitor Advises City De-
partment to Not Bother
With 1t
OPINION ON CURB QUESTION

City Solicitor Townsend sent to the
Street and Sewer Department this
morning an opinion concerning the ac-
tion of the Remington Machine Com
pany in placing a fence across Front
street whereby access TO the property
of James White, of No. N42t East Front
street is shut off from Poplar street.
II is Mr.. Townsends opinion that
the city has nothing to do with the
controversy as it concerns purely pri-
vate rights. For the city to set up
Ia claim to the land in question as a
public street of the city, Mr. Town
send says would be III advised and
would result in failure on the part
Of the city to sustain such contention.
Opinion on Curb Question.
In the same case Assistant City So
licitor Satterthwaite sent to the same
city department an opinion on the
question whether the city or the pro-
perty owner is responsible for the ex-
pense incurred by the resetting of
curb. After quoting section 122 Of
the city charter providing that upon
the completion of any paving or curb
ing a certificate shall be given to the
owner of the property so curbed and
paved, stating that the work has been
done according to the proper ground
plan and regulation OF the city, and
that no owner of property to whom
such certificate has been thus given
shall be liable for any change or error
of regulation" Mr.. Satterthwaite con-
cludes he is of the opinion that the
owner Of the property should defray
the cost of resetting curb in every
case, unless such owner has a GER
tihcate from the Street and Sewer De-
partment Should the resetting be
caused by a change or error of reg
ulations, the Street and Sewer Depart
ment should defray the expense Of such
resetting, and under like conditions
has the right to order any such curb
reset
White Not Satisfied.
There is a probability that he con-
troversy will now be carried into the
courts for final settlement as James
White, the owner Of a property in that
vicinity, is not satisfied with the status
of affairs
Mr.. White claims that inasmuch as
that portion Of Front street between
Poplar and Lombard has been used as
a public highway for a half century
it becomes, from custom. a thorough
fare for the public and the closing Of
it or any portion OF IL is Illegal He
holds that If the machine company has
the power to erect a fence on one side
of his property that II has the power
TO do the same on the other side and
if such a step was taken his property
would be valueless for any purpose
except, perhaps for manufacturing
The lot which adjoins Mr.. Whites
house to the East is owned by the
Remington Company and Mr.. White
fears that the time may come when he
will be boarded up completely if the
matter is not adjusted in the courts

PORPOISE HUNT
In CHRISTIANA
Men With Rifles Banged Away
at the Big Fish in the
River

There was a porpoise hunt on the
Christiana river yesterday afternoon
that rivaled the exploits of sealers and
whale hunters up north. For several
days two porpoises have been disport-
ing themselves in the Christiana and
have ben viewed with curiosity by
many persons.
Yesterday afternoon some men went
out in rowboats to try to capture the
porpoises opposite the plant of the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Corporation. The
men were armed with rifles. and for
awhile they kept shooting away at the
big fish as they appeared on the sur
face. Many shots were fired but the
porpoises apparently were unhurt by
the fusillade poured into them.
When last seen the porpoises were
doing their usual diving stunts as they
made their way past Market street
bridge.

AWAIT THE VERDICT
IN HAYWOOD TRIAL

dence Of his own acts and declarations
not those of others.
"Bare suspicion falls short Of such
corroboration. If the state relies upon
circumstantial evidence to establish
the connection of the defendant with
the conspiracy, it ought to be proven
by evidence taken in connection with
the direct testimony Of Orchard unless
there was some evidence other than
the evidence of Orchard, there can be
no conviction.
"You should not understand by the
rule with reference to the corrobora-
tion Of the accomplice that the whole
case should be proven outside Of tes-
timony Of the accomplice. Such a rule
would render the accomplice unneces-
sary.
"Corroborating evidence under the
law need not be founded upon facts
directly connecting the defendant with
the commission Of the offense, but it is
sufficient if the corroboration con-
sists of circumstantial evidence tend
ing to connect the defendant.
IN order. however, TO justify the in
] ference of legal guilt from circum-
stantial evidence, the existence Of in
culpatory facts mYst be absolutely in
compatible with the innocence Of the
ACCUSED upon any rational theory and
incapable Of explaining upon any rea-
sonable hypothesis other than the
question Of guilt"
Judge Wood concluded as follows:
you are instrtSted that under the
Indictment Of this case, the defendant
may, II the evidence warrants, be con-
victed of murder in the first degree;
murder in the second degree; man
slaughter, or you may find him not
guilty"
The Haywood jury retired this af-
ternoon to consider their verdict.
