Smyrna times., 1908-05-20

The opinion prevails among some
temperance people that there are
"speakeasies" in and about Smyrna
that should be broken up. There is
more or less drunkenness reported
and our officers are coming in for
more or less criticism for not max
ing arrests and enforcing the law as
they should. If the officers will do
their duty without fear or favor,
the conditions, while not so bad in
Smyrna, might be better Along
with the work of the officers, it
appears to us that the Duck Creek
Hundred Law and Order Society
might become greater active force
in ferreting out and breaking up the
speakeasies that may prevail in this
vicinity. This organization, which
was organized during the Local Option
campaign, has not held a meeting for
several months. This lack Of inter-
est and concern on the part of the
Society simply makes those who wish
to break the law feel that they can
do it without fear of detection and as
result the speakeasy nuisance is
given a chance to gain headway. AS
Smyrna is so near to the line of the
"wet" district of New Castle COun-
ty, there is need for the closest Wig
ilance not only on the part of our off
GERS but the members of the Law &
Order Society. A few arrests made
for drunkenness on our streets and an
example made of those who violate
the law againt selling, will have
beneficial effect upon all wrong doers
and will preserve the peace and good
order of the community. If the Law
& Order Society is to be of any good
to the town and Hundred, they must be
up and doing and expose all cases.
The Council through its police depart
ment should see that the town ordi-
nances are enforced.

There is not the slightest reason to
doubt that Delaware will experience
the same increase in value of farm
lands which other States have had
when a system of good roads is built.
In that way the State will not only
get back it's money, but it will bring
farm and town close together, make
life in the country more profitable
and immensely more pleasure. The
movement will grow and spread as
the various counties understand its
Importance, giving in time a network
of good roads and adding to the money
value of every acre of ground in the
State.

.RIFLED CASH. DRAWER

Thieves entered the butcher store
of Borak Brothers at 22S Smith street
last night or early this morning and
robbed 1t of thirty turkeys and 81 In
cash.
1t Is believed that the theft was
committed by some one familiar with
the place, as entrance was gained by
prying ouen rear window and US
ing the back door to carry out the
loot.
There were over 800 turkeys !, in
the store, but the intruders evidently
thought that thirty would be enough
for them. They also ransacked he
cash drawer and took the change 1t
contained, about 81 in pennies.
The thieves also opened a crate In
which there were forty chickens and
allowed them to run about the store.
When Mr.. Borak went to his place
of business this morning he found
them running around, but none miss
ing.
Word was telephoned to the police
and later Mr.. Borak visited the po-
lice station and made detailed re-
port Of the robbery. He is anxious
to have the guilty parties punished
and has offered a reward for their
capture.

TWO SCORE DEPUTIES

Supt. Pfeiffer Of Maurer
Works Heard Strike Rumors
There But None Appeared.

Although no violence has beer
shown by the 1000 striking employees
of the clay plants, Chief Burke and
squad of police are guarding the
Perth Amboy plant of the National
Fireprooflng Company and about
forty deputies, in charge of Constable
James +. O'Brien and James Moran
and State Detective Lester ]. Under.
hill, are on duty at the other factor
les.
At several Of the plants this morn
Ing 1t was stated that, while 1t is
generally understood that the men
who quit work yesterday want an In
formal demand has been made.
Trouble was feared at the three
plants of the National Fireproofing
Company at o'clock this morning
but none occurred. Superintendent
Rossi said yesterday that he expect
ed about eighty per cent of the men
to return to work this morning but
they did not do SO, and over 500 OF
the employees are lowering in groups
near the Perth Amboy, Raritan and
Standard plants Of the National COM
pany.
The men go from one plant to an
other and seem confused, and al
though they are holding out, 1t is
generally believed that several lead
ers are keeping them In check, and
II these can be arrested, it is almost
certain that the strike will soon be
settled, as some of the men have
shown an inclination to return, but
fear to do so.
Sheriff Quackenboss was here yes
terday afternoon and a number of
deputies were sworn in. Constable
Moran, with fifteen. men, was sent to
the Penfield plant. Constable James
+. O'Brien, with eight deputies, re-
manned at the Perth Amboy Fire
Brick factory last night, and Detec-
tive Underhill, with sixteen men, did
duty at the Raritan plant.
AS the Perth Ambey plant of the
National Company is within the city
limits Chief Burke Is giving 1t police
protection, and this morning he was
on the ground with all of the night
force, including Sergeants Mulligan
and McDermott.
Superintendent John Pfeiffer, of
the Maurer brick plant, heard this
morning that some of the strikers
were coming there to make his men
stop work, and he asked the police
for aid. Patrolmen Chris Hanson
and Andrew Jensen were sent there,
but the strikers did not appear.
Several more deputies we're sworn
In this morning and the plants where
the men quit work yesterday, will be
guarded until the trouble is over.
Albert H. Howell, of this city, has
contracted to supply the deputies
with food.
AT the plant of the Perth Amboy
Fire Brick Company this morning it
was stated that while their men had
not returned to work. there was no
trouble with the strikers, and that
the deputies who were on guard last
night were not there today. There
was rumor of shot being fired at
Penfields,
