ton, DEL, Parsonage.
WILMINGTON, Del. April 4-Word was
received here yesterday of the oustng OF
Mrs. Boyd wife Of Rev. A. c. Boyd, and
her five children and aunt from their home
at Clayton, Del. They were elected, in the
absence of Rev. Mr.. Boyd. at the point Of
a revolver by Constable Dilahay and Dep
uty Constable Russell both of Dover, after
Dillahay had smashed in rear door, This
followed the successful effort of Mrs. Boyd,
ment a few days ago.
Rev. Mr.. Boyd was deposed as pastor Of
the Methodist Protestant Church at Clay
ton by the church officials. including Rev.
DR.. Little of Baltimore, presiding elder of
the Maryland Methodist Protestant confer
ence, because of alleged irregularities in
his transfer from the Kansas Methodist
Episcopal conference. He refused to sur
render the parsonage, however, until the
end of his years term, April o. and upon
leaving Clayton last November to engage in
missionary work in New York directed his
wife to resist ejectment. AS result of the
ousting, litiga ton will doubtless follow.
When Constable Dillahay, who repre-
sented the trustees of the church, broke in
the door, Mrs. Jones of Wilmington, aunt
Of the preachers wife, was seriously in
jured Pointing a pistol at Mrs. Boyd, the
constables literally carried her from the
house. The four daughters and a little
son were also carried out bodily, while the
injured aunt was forcibly removed.
The affair caused a big stir at Clayton,
the weeping family creating a scene. They
were taken care of by neghbors. Rev. Mr..
Boyd. who is expected to return shortly,
will demand years salary.
The Maryland conference, with which the
Clayton church is connected, is now in an
nual session at Washington.

LOST MONEY ON WARsHIPs.
{. M. Schwab Says Bethlehem Steel
COMPANY Will Build No More.

NEW YORK. April 4.-Charles NJ.
Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel
Company. after the annual meeting held
Tuesday in Jersey City, announced that
his company, which owns several great
shpyards, would never again build a
man-of-war for the United States govern
ment.
I'VE will build no more warships,'' he
said. Our company has sustained loss
of 81. 125,O0O on the three warships now
building at the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, all of which loss had to be
charged off against the Bethlehems earn
ings this year. No one. so far as l know,
makes any profit on government contract
work, for the delays are too expensive
Why, one steel plant in two months can
make an output of steel, say, in steel rails,
which would require under government
supervision fifteen months. AS to armor-
plate there is no branch of the steel in
dustry from which the returns are so poor
as is the case in the manufacture of armor-
plate.
Mr.. Schwab's somewhat gloomy remarks
on his companys business with the gov
eminent were probably prompted by the
poor showing contained in the annual re-
port of the company, which was presented
to the stockholders yesterday Heavy
shrinkages in receipts We're shown. Never
theless Mr.. Schwab made a clean breast
of his shrinkages in earnings and told his
stockholders that the millions being spent
at Bethlehem would produce better results
next year.
poration for the year were reported to be
81 $50 1913 a decrease of 81 500, 449. From
the net receipts from manufacturing the
report shows a continued series of deduc-
lions, owing to losses. interest charges and
interest on floating debt, the final result of
which was that even the surplus carried
over from 1905 was cut down to S593, 421.
In the report Mr.. Schwab points out
tntt 10 Gto a Ia n
cisco added $11S,401 to the losses on the
battleships at the Union Iron Works. Near
ly 100000 was written off as the proper
ton during 1906 for the losses entaiied on
the battIeships. Nevertheless, dividends
on the preferred stock were paid during
1906 amounting to $S94, $50.
