mum and Amelia streets was entered by

property stolen. Because of the fact there
WerDeho marks on any of the windows or
doC1t showing that forcible entrance had
been obtained the police are of the opin-
ion that some one familiar with the house
and who was able to secure an impression
of the Yale keys which opened the doors
is the guilty party.
AT noon yesterday Miss Maurs, with
companion, left the house in an automo-
bile for trip to Venice. They returned
at O'Clock last night. AS soon as they
entered the hallway of the house it was
evident that some one had been there
during their absence.
An old-fashioned chest of drawers
which stood at the end of the hall was
denuded of its drawers and the contents
were strewn about. In every other room
of.the place it was the same.

broken open and an ironbound chest in
the bedroom of Miss Maurs was broken

which it contained were left on the floor
while large amount of jewelry and
money was gone So with every other
piece of furniture which had contained
rich loot The entire house had been ran
sacked from front to back and the prop

ing to the police, be easily disposed of.
The list of stolen property contains $500
in cash, of which half was in paper and
the balance in gold coin. Silverware to
the amount of $500 was taken and in adj
dition to this a pair of diamond earrings,

DELAWARE TEMPERANCE
ALLIANCE CONVENTION.

A convention, under the auspices OF
the Delaware State Temperance Aili-
anee, is to be held in Dover, in the
Opera House, on Monday, April 22nd,
at 10 a. m, to close with an evening
mass meeting in the Nj. +, Church.
The object of the convention is to plan
for complete organization Of the State
by counties, election districts, hundreds,
towns and hamlets. Uniformity of or
ganization and effort will be secured.
To insure this result an effort will be
made to have present in this gathering,
ministers of all denominations, without
respect to color; representatives Of the
Anti Saloon League, the State Grange,
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union aud representatives Of all other
organizations that favor local option.
The president, Rev. Robert Watt,
says: To these representatives. Of the
people, this call comes, That it will be
needed we do not for a moment doubt,
for the four hundred persons to whcm
this invitation is extended love their
States welfare. It is needless to re.
mind all who receive this call, either
through the press or personally, that
failure to endorse it with their presence,
is already laying the foundation Of de-
feat. we, therefore, most earnestly urge
and hope for a full attendance at this
gathering. The success of this cORven-
tiOn means a campaign for local option
that will sweep the State. 1t is now up
to the people, let the good work begin at
once. A luncheon will be served in the
room Of the New Century Club at l2 30

MILFORD DELAWARE. FRIDAY, APRIL 70, 1907.
THE JERSEY-DELAWARE
SUIT IS OFF THE DOCKET.

The case Of New Jersey VS.. Delaware,
involving the dispute over the boundary
lines between the two States, was last
Monday stricken from the docket of
the Supreme Court Of the United States
after remaining there for more than
thirty years.
Dismissal was directed on motion Of
Attorney General McCarter, of New
Jersey, who said that as Congress had
ratified the agreement of the two States
there was no longer any necessity for
its maintenance.
This case grew out OF an ancient land
grant by James, Duke Of York, in which
the northern bOundaryof Delaware was
fixed by a twelve. mile circle from the
town of Newcastle, which line extended
for a considerable distance into New Jer-
sey. Later Delaware abandoned claim
to New jersey territory, but insisted
upon jurisdiction within the circle to
low water mark on the Jersey shore.
On the arrest, in 1877, of New Jersey
fishermen for fishing in the Delaware
river within the circle without Della.
ware license, New Jersey resisted the
imposition of sentence, and the case
went to the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
Finally the two States agreed to enact
uniform fishing laws for the river, and
the proceedings allowed to drop.
Delaware enacted such laws but New
Jersey up to this date has failed to keep
faith
