MOVE AGAINST
TAX COLLECTORS
Levy Court Orders Bonds Of
Casey and AppIeby Pro-
Ceeded Against

The Levy Court this morning in
structed Sylvester d. Townsend, the
court attorney, to proceed against the
bonds Of George NJ. Casey. and David
Appleby. former tax collectors Of
Brandywine and White Clay Creek
hundreds, respectively, to recover the
money owing the county by the men.
At the last meeting of the court
Comptroller Chandler recommended
that this action be taken, Mr.. Casey
owing the county S461O.27 and Mr.. Ap-
pleby owing $3266.S7 in taxes for the
years 1901, OF. 03 and O4. The collectors
have. been allowed their error lists
and have promised the court at various
times that they would settle their ac-
counts. but up until this time the men
have not settled their accounts.
1t will be the future policy Of the
court to see that none of the tax coll
lectors gets behind in his accounts. OF
late the county has been embarrassed
by its laxity in dealing with the col
lectors, but hereafter all the tax money
will be collected as early as possible
Messrs. Casey and Appleby have given
personal bond for the faithful per-
formance of their duties and this will
be entered upon imm ediately unless the
collectors pay up at once.

Representatives Of Frank Miles Day
and Brother the Philadelphia architects,
who drew the plans and prepared the
specification for the proposed new Y. NJ.
c. A. building, are in conference this af-
ternoon with the building committee OF
the association. 1t is probable that sew
eral contracts for work on the building
will be gwen out following the conference.
1t was said at the Y. M. C. A. Office

statement to-day in regard ITO the bidding
IN the structure.
Mr. Thompson's statement follows:
Il was called on yesterday afternoon
by a committee of the Board of Trade,
consisting of Messrs. Robert J. Mac
lean, James H. Wright. c. A. Rudolph
and Howell S. England. with relation
to the placing of the contracts for the
new Y. M. c. A. building.
They stated they were not RESPONSE
BILE for or the originators Of the state
ments they were about TO make, but
wanted to place before me what pur-
ported to be public sentiment on this
subject.
Briefly, their Story was that the
building committee and the architect
were discriminating against Whining
ton contractors. and trying TO throw
the contracts into the hands Of Phila-
delphia firms-the principal offender,
apparently, being the architect, but
the building committee, through in
nocence or ignorance, being abettors.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, July 2s.-seventeen-y year
old Annie Sweitzer who disappeared
on Sunday with Harris Burris. twice
her age and employed on a neighbor-
ing farm, has not been located by her
distressed and angry father. Frederick
w Sweitzer farmer OF West Dover.
It was all too far from the realiza-
tion Of Mr.. Sweitzer even though he
had been warned Sunday afternoon,
while his daughter sat complacently
participating in the family councils In
another room. His visitor then was
William Uhlig of Dover. who owns the
farm opposite that Of Mr.. Sweitzor
near Asbury Church.
Mr.. 'Uhlig, after a diplomatic lead
ing up TO the admonition which he de-
sired to impress upon the mind of his
friend, made the bald statement that
in the trunk of Harry Burris. 80 years
old and farmer for Mr.. Uhlig. at that
very moment, was the clothing OF Anna
Swetzer.
Father Was Warned.
The mere reference OF a probable
runaway marriage and the possibility
Of his daughters clandestine wedding

Uhlig's farmer first made Mr.. Sweit-
zer's blod boil, and then he laughed
at the joke.
Three hours later Burrls and Miss
Sweitzer were on a northbound train
and there was turmoil in the Sweit-
zer household
When Mr.. Uhlig discovered the girls
clothing in Burris trunk he decided
first to go apprise Mr. Sweitzer, then
the thought that perhaps Burris ought
first be cautioned and approached, took
precedence.
"Ah, Harry, you're going to take off
a girl and break a fathers heart" he
said to his farmer. Il have seen; 1

right here among my friends. This
is all good enough for Burris"

were Mr.. Sweitzer's responses, and
there was nothing doing Four hours
afterward, when his fair daughter was
gone, and it was TO late even to inter-
cept or overtake them Mr.. Sweitzer

of Mr. Uhlig and the words coursed
through his mind.

DOUBLE MURDER
INNEW YORK STREET
Young Woman Slain as She Enters Store, Her
Assailant Escapes and Kills Another Man
Before He is Taken--Attacked by Mob

Miss Norling, who worked as his
cashier, told her new employer that she
has frequently seen him since, and that
he has occasionally annoyed her by his
attentions.
Miss Norling lived at Richheld. N. J..
Shot Dead in Store.
Following close upon the murder to-
day of Miss Ether NOrling before a
large crowd at Fifth avenue and Forty
second street by a man said TO have
been known to the girl as Charles War
ner, John G. Wilson was shot and fat
ally wounded at his store 26 Waverly
Place at noon, by man known to him
as Frank Warner. The police are con-
vinced the attack was by the same
man and believe the confusion in the
Christian name will be explained.
Warner, who had an exciting chase
after shooting the Norling girl, made
a second dash for liberty after firing
upon Wilson. He was followed by
police and an angry crowd. After rae
ing to Green and Washington street he
was struck down by a longshoreman,
who welded a truckman's hook. The
crowd following jumped upon the al
legged assissin and beat him almost to
death before he was rescued by the
police and taKen to Bellevue Hospital.
While the detectives and police were
searching the city for the man who
had eluded them after shooting the
girl, Frank Warner walked hurriedly
into the store of Wilson, who is
haberdasher. He asked Wilson to loan
him 10.
Warner formerly was a haberdasher
also.
Wilson said he was surprised to know
that he was in such circumstances. As
Wilson arose and turned his back to
get the money Warner shot him twice
in the back and fled.
SO far the police have been unable
to get a clear idea of the motive that
led Warner to plan an attack Of the
double nature.
The fact that all three persons in
volved we're conducting the haberdash-
cry business may prove a connecting
link
The wild race of Warner through the
city is considered one of the most as
founding feats with which the police
have contended for year.
