The council room at the city hall
was crowded to the limit last evening
when the proceedings regarding the
revocation of the license of Filhauer &
Staten began. Attorney Evans made
the motion for dismissal at the
start, having entered the demurrer
December 18th, on the grounds that
the petition was insufficient.
The attorney set up five reasons why
the complaint was defective as fo.-
lows:
First, Because the complaint failed
to allege that the complainant, l.. A.
Goddard, was resident of the city of
Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin, at
the time of the violation mentioned in
the complaint.
Second, Because the complaint failed
to allege that at the time of the max
ing of the complaint the defendants
were engaged in the business of selling
intoxicating liquors under lawful
AASSAAoS AoouOA Ny oA4Ao OASJs
Third, Because the complaint charged
two separate offences, viz, gambling
and keeping gambling house, which
form of complaint it was argued was
condemned by the supreme court of
the state in case that arose in Tomah.
Fourth, Because the complaint was
sworn to upon information and belief
and did not charge the facts to be
within the knowledge of L. A. God
dard.
Fifth, Because the complaint was
indefinite and uncertain.
In reply to the defense, Attorney S.
I. Swanson said that the grounds of
the demurrer were not very specific,
claiming that it was q skiIlful combi-
nation of words that meant merely
that the defense wanted the case dis
missed. He said that the cases cited
did not apply in the present instance,
In one of them the ordinance of city
was alleged violated, while in this
case the statute is said to be violated.
Regarding the other cases he mentioned
logical reasons why they did not apply
to the present case.
He also said that the OBJ
jections were frivolous, exceedingly
technical, and hypercritical, arguing
that residence was not necessary as far
as the statute is concerned for makinga
complaint, that belief is sufficient
reason forltrying criminal case even,
not be required in civil case; further
that. the petition was clear as regards
the exist ence of license; he also de-

DAMAGE At LIGHT PLANT
GIVES COUNCIL CONCERN
SMOKE STACK WHICH BLEW
OVER HAS TO BE REPLACED
Council Forced to Expend About $500
For New One-May Build a Tall
Brick Stack in The Future

Owing to the damage done the
smoke stack connecting with the
Berry Boiler at the Electric Light
Plant recently, Council at its session
Friday night was confronted with the
necessity of providing means for the
purchase of a new one which will
cost in the neighborhood of $500.
The smoke stack was blown down and
upon examination was found to be in
such bad condition that it would have
been useless to have gone to the ex-
pedient of putting it up. In ascer-
tanning this, Chairman Grieves of
the Light& Water Committee sent for
an expert to come down and examine
the stack. Some of the members
favored building brick stack but
when it was learned that in about
ten years the stack on the new
boiler might need replacing, Council
took the better course and authorized
the purchase of a new iron stack for
the Berry Boiler and hold off in the
matter of brick stack until a time
when it would be necessary to con-
meet both boilers. The Light &
Water Committee, H. B. Grieves
Chairman, was authorized to get bids
for the stack and report at the next
meeting.
Chairman Robinson of the Street
Committee raised the point of bet
ter system of compelling plumbers to
leave the streets in a better condi-
tion. Mr.. Robinson referred to
several places about town which
were left in a miserable condition
and said he had spoken to the
plumbers so many times he was
utterly tired of it and favored taking
it out of their hands altogether and
having the trenches filled in and
graded by the town at the expense of
SOC per foot to the property owner.
Council however, decided to go slow
in the matter and moved that the
street committee await on the
plumbers and notify them that if
the streets were not left in as good
condition as they found them, no
more permits would be issued. Street
Supervisor Turner will be requested
to watch all cases. Council adjourned
after allowing bills to the amount
of S143. so. One of the bills was for
killing IA dogs. Alderman Crow S

JOHN P. HUDSON ENDORSED
DR.. Watt Calls Him a Patriot at The
Prohibition County Convention
At Dover Last Thursday

The PrOhibitiOnists of Kent County
in convention at Dover Thursday
departed from the usual custom of
straight middle-of- -the-road ticket,
and nominated composite ticket
for the Legislature, made up of Re-
publican and Democratic nominees
where those nominees were most
favorable to the cause of no saloon.
In districts where "both parties have
nominated sterling men,, as the con-
ventlon expressed it, in order not to
embarrass the other candidate the
ProhibitiOnist was run out and en-
tered. The only exception to this
arrangement was in the Levy Court
commissioner for the First Kent
District, where John P. Hudson,
Republican nominee, was endorsed
over James T. Truax, Democratic
nominee, both of whom were
declared to be "strong Christian
men. = The endorsement of Hudson,
however, was on the recommendation
Of Rev. Robert Watt, who declared
that Hudson had served as chairman
Of the Kent investigating committee
and had in opposition to party
orders exposed the conditions in Kent
county. "'He is therefore a
patriot, that man is, added Mr..
Watt, land if Mr.. Truax were my
brother and / were a Democrat,
would decorate patriotism by support
ing Mr.. Hudson. The ticket was
finally endorsed, as follows: Senators

BIsHoP-ELEcT KINsMAN HERE
Pleases St. Peters Church With Two
Splendid Sermons Meets Vestry

Bishop-elect F. J. Kinsman, the
new bishop who will succeed the
late Bishop Coleman, made his first
visit to this parish Sunday and
preached two sermons. His visit at
this time was to get better ac-
quainted with the parish and to
discuss with the vestry a successor
to Rev. G. V. Gilreath, resigned.
He was entertained while here by
Mr.. William E. Waters, senior
warden of the church. Mr.. Kinsman
preached two strong sermons morn
ing and evening, the last sermon
being a special discourse on "The
Relation of rector to his parish. -
Both sermons were highly commented
upon. In the afternoon Bishop-elect
Kinsman met with the vestry when
the matter of choosing a rector to
succeed the Rev. G. V. Gilreath was
discussed. The new Bishop offered
to cooperate with the Vestry in any
way he could. During the day he
met many Smyrnians and every
where he made good impression.

LACK OF ACCOMMODATIONS
CAUSES LOSS OF INSTITUTE
SUPT. CARROLL DECIDES TO
TAKE INSTITUTE TO DOVER
Waited For Smyrna to Come to Time
But Gould Not Risk Bringing $50
Teachers Here With But One Hotel

Superintendent ]. E. Carroll of the
Kent County Public Schools an
nOunced yesterday that he will hold
the Kent County Teachers Institute
in Dover this year. Supt. Carroll
held off before making a decision for
the reason that he was anxious to
bring it to Smyrna this year and
would have done so could he have
been assured that enough homes
would have opened to board them.
Last week he was up to see Proprietor
GOldsborough of the Delaware House
who said he could accommodate about
35. AS there are $50 teachers in
the county Mr.. Carroll was naturally
concerned as to where the balance
would stop. The teachers of the
Smyrna Public Schools could not
take the time to make a canvas of
the town ard though the subject had
been bought up in these columns a
number of times, there was no
encouragement given to Principal
Burdette that the teachers could
secure homes. In Dover the situation
is different. Despite the fact that
the Richardson Hotel will accommo-
date many more than the Delaware
House, Dover is more centrally
located to all districts of the county
than Smyrna and many of the teachers
can go to and fro to their homes at
! cheap excursion rates. Since all
conditions favored Dover, there was
nothing left for Supt. Carroll to
do but to give in to the wishes of a
large number of the teachers and
keep it at the State Capital. The
Institute will be held there on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of
Thanksgiving week and an elaborate
program is being arraged Besides
the day instructors, always good.
Supt. Carroll has been fortunate in
securing excellent talent for the
evening entertainments.

Monday NATURALIZATION

The formal opening of the com
mencement exercises of the Muir
Gibson school took place on Sunday
morning with the preaching of
the baccalaurcate sermon by the
Rev. A j Thomas. Long before
the time for the exercises to open
the Baptist church, where the SER
mon was preached, was packed and
many could not get seats.
Seated on the pulpit we're the
three pastors of the local churches,
Rev. K e Turnipseed, Rev. CA
Jones, and Rev. Runyan Mcleod
and the Rev. A j S Thomas. Adj
ded to the feature of the day was
the fine singing and music by the
choir, the songs being appropriate
and in keeping with the commence
ment spirit.
Taking as his text Luke 18th
chapter and 18th verse, Occupy
till | come" Mr. Thomas preach,
ed an excellent and instructive
sermon. The three main thoughts
of the text were the call to duty,
the call to fidelity, and the voice OF
prophecy. DR.. Thomas laid before
the graduates these and oJher pre-
cepts which should guide them.
DR.. Thomas also paid a tribute to
the teachers of Marlboro, he being
a native son and knowing we'll OF
the good which they have done to
this land.
Sunday night at the Baptist
church the Rev. II f Turnipsccd
