WANTS ALLEGED
FRAUD EXPOSED
Evidence in SaSSe-ROSS Con.
test TO be Presented to
AttOrney-GeneraI
ROSS DECLARES THE
CHARGES FALSE

Following the collapse before City
Council last evening Of the contest of
Lewis Sasse for the office OF city
treasurer now held by Howard IL.
Ross, comes a threat from counsel for
Mr.. Sasse TO lay evidence of alleged
fraud in the Fourth district of the
Second ward. which It is alleged Mr..
Ross pronted by, before Attorney
General Richards for examination. In
fact Josiah Marvel, for Mr.. Sasse, said
this morning he had determined upon
this course and would forward the
evidence to Mr.. Richards early next
week.
Mr.. Marvel Outlines Intention.
I'VE are not fighting for the office
of city treasurer" said Mr.. Marvel this
morning. but to show a fraudulent
state of affairs that effects every voter
in Wilmington. Our position in this
matter was not taken as Democrats
for any candidate of that party for
office, but because we feel It Is our
duty TO use all the methods known Ia
the law TO unearth the fraud which We
believe TO have been committed In the
Fourth election district of the Second
ward. II we we're able to show be-
fore Council that sufficient fraud was
committed TO warrant tho unseating OF
Ross we would have contended for H.
and If the conditions showed less
amount Of fraud than this we feel that
our duty was. and stil is, to pursue
tho fraud by every method which the
law gives us. The only method We
have now is to lay the evidence before
the attorney general FOR his consider
alton and action.
"If the fraud was committed I'm the
Second ward. as we were led 10 be.
lieve, It is the duty Of every citizen
rgardiess OF politics, 20 assist In un.
earthing the same and prosecute th'
offenders, for the reason that th'
character Of the fraud charged is moi
so much a fraud upon any particular
political party as IL Is upon the quail
fed electors Of Wilmington"
Defense Had No Inning.
As result of the collapse Of the
contest last evening. the defense hae
no opportunity 10 refute the charges {"
fraud which Mr.. Sasse alleges wa
committed Howard d. Ross said thil
morning that had the contestants pu
in their evidence. his attorneys woull
have proved Il utterly false.

WHEAT YIELD
in THE COUNTY
Farmers About MiddIetOwn
Say the Grains Are Fat
and Plump

There promises to be an unusual
yield of wheat in New Castle county
this year. Farmers have finished cut
ting their crop, and they are now in
good position to judge the actual con-
dition Of the grain, says the Middle
town Transcript.
In nearly every instance the farmers
declare that the grains are fat and
plump, the heads longer than tho aver
age and the straw heavy Those who
had misgivings as to the effect of the
peculiar condition Of the weather dur
ing the Spring months upon the wheat,
have had them dispelled by the matur-
ing of the grain, and, while in few
instances there has been some injury,
the majority Of farmers report an un-
usual prospect for a big yield We
have already heard rumors of thirty
bushels to the acre. Prominent grow
ers predict that this seasons average
will be at least 20 bushels to the acre
the county over, while In recent years
Is bushels per acre has been the aver
age.
Not since 1861 has harvest been so
late as it was this year. The weather
conditions that year were precisely
such as they have been this season,
and the yield OF wheat was splendid.
During that year the older farmers
report that It was cold enough for fire
early in the morning on July 4th and
they cut wheat all day in their heavy
kersey coats.
1t is not generally thought the price
Of wheat win reach the dollar mark
this yoar. but it will approach very
neal this figure, and many of our
farmers expect to realize from 80 to
s5 cents for their crop.

You are, to my mind, in no danger of

bound up with yours, and this also

CANTEENS In The ARMY.

By a vote of 81 yea to Is nays the
House of Representatives passed an
amendment providing that no part of
the appropriation for soldiers homes
should be apportioned to any home that
maintains a bar or canteen. This
amendment is a part OF the sundry
civil appropriation bill, and it goes to
show that the House is still strongly
opposed to canteens.
The canteen is of the vexed ques-
tons before Congress, land it is one
over which the opinions of army officers
run contrary to sentiment among the
people in general. GPublic.. sentiment is
undoubtedly opposed to canteens at
army posts, but the officers who watch
the men in their commands say as a
rule that conteens are preferable to tn
places outside the camp that soldiers
frequent when theresis no canteen in
side.
The Bowersock amendment in the
sundry civil bill isEaifplain indication
that conteens are not to be restored very
soon. Congress- esitated a long time
before It voted Icanteens out, and the
indication now are that members will
hesitate still 1ongersibeforetthey vote
them back again.
