ONLY AJOKE, Mr..
FAHEY THOUGHT
Said if He Violated Anti-Spit-
ting Law He Would Stand
Punishment

''rhe law is a good one and II violated
It am willing to stand the punishment, "
said Patrick Fahey, the well-known build
er and contractor, who was arrested al
the instance Of Health Officer Lee Cork
ran on the charge Of splitting on street
car, and was arraigned before Magistrate
Broman yesterday afternoon. He did not
90 into trial, however, but entered a plea
Of guilty and the justice of peace dis
missed him upon the payment of the costs.
When arraigned Mr.. Fahey said: Il
guess did violate the law If Mr.. Cork
ran says so. but I am man who don't
use tobacco in any form and consequently
very seldom spit. The law is a good one
and am in favor Of it, and II have vlo-
lated it am willing to stand the punish
ment.
Squire Broman asked Health officer
Corkran il he had anything TO say AID
the latter replied: Nothing beyond the
fact that 1 warned Mr.. Fahey after lac
had spit on the floor Of the car, and he
swore at me and spit again."
Mr.. Fahey said ne did not mean to be
discourteous to the health officer but
thought the whole thing was a joke. Re
said that in going to and from his home
on the street cars persons frequently joke
with him about splitting on the sidewalk
and cars and he thought that some one in
back Of him was Joking, but it was tho
health officer instead. He again said he
meant no insult TO the health officer.
Magistrate Broman in dismisslng the
case, said he was acquainted with Mr..
Fahey many years and always knew him
to be a law abiding citizen.

LOWER TAXES FOR HOTELS.

r REPRESENTATIVES. of the Milford hotel
~ men who were affected by the recent local
option election have appealed to the Kent County
Levy Court for rebate on their taxes and for a
lowering of the assessment Of their properties
with consequent reduction of taxes To the
hotel men the situation is serious. The with
drawing of the privilege to sell liquor has re-
suited in an undoubted depreciation in value of
the hotels, and therefore the assessment and con-
.sequently the taxes should be lowered.
Asked whether decrease in taxes would re-
suit in the opening of hotels that have been
closed, the answer of the hotel man was nom
commital Evidently these hotel proprietors
have not yet been convinced that they can con-
duct hotel with fair prospects of remuneration
without bar. The problem of hotel accommo~
dations seems to be far from settled in the lower
counties.

RECEPTION no THE GOVERNOR.

OFFICERS of the Organized Militia of Della
- ware are planning to honor Governor Lea
by giving him a reception at the State Arsenal
on the evening of April 22. This is nothing more
than merited tribute to the governor for his
activities in behalf of the citizen soldiery of the
Diamond State.
No executive has shown more interest or has
displayed more zeal in upbuilding and elevating
the militia of Delaware than has Governor Lea,
he not only urging legislation that has placed the
First Delaware Infantry upon the high plane adj
vocated by the Federal authorities but also as
sociating with the guardsmen in their tours of

OUR SAVINGS PLAN

Mr.. Blanks income was 500 per
month, and his expenses SIS. He car
ried the ifference-S25-in his pocket
and it gradually disappeared. The end
of each month found him penniless. He
decided to try our plan of depositing
his earnings in our Money Department
snd paying his bills with checks. This
kept him in close touch with his affairs.
The first month he had a credit bal
anee Of S25. Now he has several hum
dred dollars ahead. The interest is ae-
oumulating, too. At the end of this
year, he will have a considerable fund
available for permanent investment.

~ the Hon. Caleb R. Layton is confusing the
canvass for the Republican nomination for gov

We wish the candidates Joy. There is some

office of governor even should you not be able
to land the nomination. But it is suspected that
out of the chaos Dr. Gale will go to Dover with
a goodly number of delegates at his back. IN
doubtedly, then, he would be a factor in the
nomination Now the question may arise
whether the doctor is. really anxious to become
the candidate for governor, thinking that he may

their willingness to act in conjunction with the

the department Just what course the inquiry
will take, will develop as it proceeds If it Is
necessary to secure opinions of experts on this
OF that question that is up for dispute such opin-
ions will no doubt be secured. There should be
the utmost fairness displayed towards all persons
concerned, and the sole purpose should be to
learn whether the department is managed eco
nomically and efficiently. Two Of the commits
sioners evidently believe that it is, and one be-
lieves that it is not That is all there is to the

Editorial Opinion
Local Option in Little Creek.


Letter in the Dover News.
Mr.. Editor:-What local option has done
for the little town of Little Creek, we,
two Little Creek boys under twenty-one
years Of age, can readily see. Since things
have gone dry the people Of our town
have become so good that they have not
had any church meetings in the evenings
for about five weeks. Since people here
have reformed, we have no place to go
now on Sunday nights only stand on the
streets and tell jokes We were walking
up the street last Sunday night, and
heard four of our prominent families en-
joying themselves with graphophone con-
certs, then as we got farther down the
street, strains of music from Pumpkin
vile Choir were sounding in the evening
air We certainly do wish we had some
place to go where we could learn to do
better, as we have no church service to
attend, can not sing and can't afford a
graphophone. II our people have any reply
to make to this. we would be glad TO see
it in the next issue of this paper.

HUNTINGTON TO SELL
OUT TO HARTMAN,
RUMOR IN NEW YORK
Southern California Maenate Declares
That There Is No Necessity for
Transfer, Interests of Systems
Being Identical

II. f. Huntington's presence in New
York has aroused the usual rumor IN
Wall street relating to his connectlon
with f. H. Hartman. A New York
dispatch says that the Huntington
railroad interests will be turned over
to Hartman on January l.
LAS d matter of fact the Huntington
and Hartman interests are intimately
associated in Southern California, eS-
pecially in Los Angeles county" said
a railway official last night. All the
Huntington railroads--the Pacific Elec-
tric Los Angeles railway, Los An
geles & Redondo and others-haVe Har-
riman coassociated with Huntington in
the control and w. f. Herrin is di-
rector in each one.
The dispatch says: "Mr. Hartman
said he knew nothing ABOUT it. Mr..
Huntington was absent, but had
previously declared that there was no
necessity for such transfer, as the
interests of his roads and those of Mr.
Hartman were identical"
In this connection a curious eX-
PLANTATION of the manner in which the
Los Angeles-Pacific is said to have
evaded further payment to Abbot Kin
ney of 10 per cent of the sale of tickets
between Los Angeles and Venice has
come to light. A man who is supposed
to know about such things said yes
terday:
abbot Kinney doesn't get his 10 per
cent and more. A Hartman man figured
out for the Los Angeles-Pacifc that
this could be avoided by selling one
general beach ticket. good for any
point between Santa Monica canon and
Redondo, and that was the scheme put
into effect. No tickets to Venice are
sold, hence no money for Kinney"
