HONESTY KEYNOTE.
OF ALL SUCCESS
Attorney Marvel Tells Young
CoIIegianS to Give All
a Square Deal

Before the student body OF Goiley
Conege yesterday a brilliant lecture
WAS delivered by Attorney Josiah Mar
vel. who chose as his subject Honesty
IN Business" The speaker pointed out
the necessity OF absolute integrity in
every business and social relationship
Of life. and impressed upon his hearers
that the employe who wastes a single
minute OF his employers time is as
much a thief as he who steals a dollar
from the home Of a neighbor or friend.
In conclusion Mr.. Marvel said 1T
goes without saying that a man must
be absolutely honest IN order 70 sue
ceed In business. TO the fullest extent
and the question asked by Mr.. Mac
lean gives me but just a trihing OPP
portunity for a minute or two TO call
your attention to what appears TO me
to be a broader significance OF the
word honesty than Is usually given in
the language OF the public at large
Honesty goes into every movement Of
your life. 1t means whether or not
you are sincere TO yourself. TO your
neighbor. TO your employer, TO your
mother. to ors brother TO your sister,
TO your sweetheart or to anybod else.

ELEVEN BIDDERS In FIELD

Changes in the plans for the pro-
posed Delaware Building at the James,
town Exposition have brought out
q even contractors who desire to estl-
mate on the structure and to whom
plans and SPECIFICATIONS have been
furnished by William Draper Brinckle,
architect for the Delaware Commission.
on the original plans bnt three bids
were received, each Of which was con-
sidered too high by the commissioners
In view of the fact that but $4,000
were appropriated by the Legislature
for exposition purposes. Accordingly
Mr. Brinckle was directed 10 revise the
plans in such manner as would lessen
the cost Of construction. This he has
done. although the general style of out
side architecture as originally designed
has not materially been affected. The
structure. however, under the new
plans. will not be as subslantial as
was at FIRST intended. and will not be
available for use after the exposition
closes The bids vii be opened before
the commission at its meeting in Do
yer on Monday and it is probable that
az that time the contract viii be
awarded.

School Loan Bill,
Special 10 The Evening journal.

DOVER. March "A funny error was
discovered IN a bill after it had passed
both Houses and had been enrolled and
reached tho scrutinizing glance Of Gov
ernor lea, which is explained by his veto
as follows:
To the Senate:
! herewith return Senate Substitute Bin
No. %. entitled "An Act authorizing the
Commissioners Of School Districts Num-
bers III and 226 SUSSEX county, to bor-
row money for tho purpose Of building
and furnishing a new school house at Re

This bill fixes March 10. 1907 as the date
Of election therein authorized to be held
with no clause authorizing a subsequent
election Hereunder, and provides mat at
least thirty days public notice Of said
election shall be given before the day OF
such election These two conflicting con-
dltions render the said bill non-cffcctive
and for this reason I return said bill 10

INSANITY PLEA In
STROTHERS' CASE

BY Our own Wire. Publishers Press.
CULPEPPER, Va, March with
only two or thre witnesses yet TO be ex-
amined the defense in the Strother trial
will probably finish its case this after
noon. A short time Will be occupied by
the commonwealth in rebuttal. Argu-
ments will be made tomorrow and it is
expected that the case will be in the
hands of the jury BY tomorrow night.
As soon as court convened to-day the
defense called DR.. Charles Clark, an
aiienist from the government hospital for
the insane in Washington, thus show
ing that 1t does not intend to rely alto
gether upon the "unwritten law"
Attorney Moore asked a Hypothetical
question. In it he recited the history Of
the strother family. the relations between
Viola and Bywaters, the confession, and
the alleged attempted desertion. "These
being the facts. DOCTOR" said Mr.. Moore,
how would you characterize the act Of
hmioide2'
I'VE object" shouted Commonwealth
Attorney Keith.
"The question does not recite the facts
as testified by the defendants themselves.
Ihey admitted tndt tney ndd otcu dlileu
all day. That is not the question. They
said they intended killing him. That is
not the question"
Keith added that there had been no ef-
fort to prove that the strother brothers
we're suffering from a mental disorder.
They had formed a deliberate purpose In
their minds and hearts. They were cool
and collected, and they were armed. one
of them said he would do the same thing
over again.
"Does that show this act was sudden
emoton impulse9s" inquired the attor-
ney. we say no. and this question must
state all Of the facts. or it can't under the
law, be answered.
Books on medical Jurisprudence say
there must be a disease Of the mind, or
there can be no insane impulse or emotion
The reason Of these defendants was not
dethroned. Philip strother stated on the
stand that he knew he was shooting. and
he knew he was shooting AZ William f.

and because the prices Of finished pro-
