just share Of school taxes. OF Congress
was requested the passage Of the Davis
bill and pure seed bill, Federal appro-
priations Tor highway improvement. a
general parcels post, an equitable revis-
ion Of the tariff the election of United
States senators by direct vote, and the
construction of waterway from the
Great Lakes to the Atlantic seaboard.
The committee on grange extension
asked the new worthy master to make
an effort to revive dormant oranges. and
recommended the appropriation Of $500 to
enable him to do this work.
Farm Studies For Schools.
The report OF the &C 1mlttee on educa-
tion was finally adopted as follows:
"In order to attain the highest plane
OF citizenship. it is necessary that our
boys be intelligently educated. In order
that our girls may become the most sue
cessful home builders it is necessary that
they be treated likewise.
'The public school system Of our state
as now conducted Is devoid OF any agri-
cultural training and in view OF the fact
that the medium through which more OF
our boys and girls could be reached than
any other is our public school. We would
recommend that this State Grange place
itself upon record as favoring the teach
ing of some of the first principles OF ag-
riculture and thus open up the way for
our boys and girls of the farm to secure
an education along these lines II so de-
sided.
1--WE recommend that the Delaware
State Grange give its support to the
Davis bill. now pending in Congress,
which has for its purpose the establish
ing Of agricultural and industrial train
ing in high schools
"This committee is proud Of the fact
that the grange is one Of the most vaIu-
able agencies for educational work. We
realize the importance Of this feature OF
grange work We recognize the fact,
however that there are other forces in
the State working TO attain the same end.
We believe that the work of the State
Board of Agriculture the Delaware Ex
pertinent Station and the agricultural
training offered by Delaware College are
valuable aids along the line Of agricul-
tural education The objects OF the State
Grange and all of these other forces
should be identical. and we believe that
the highest and most satisfactory results
can be attained for the Delaware farmer
only when these forces do operate in har-
mony to attain the same ends.
I'VE would especially commend to the
young men Of Delaware desiring to be-
come better qualified for the pursuit Of
rmsl life. the agricultural education that
is offered by Delaware College. We
would recommend that the farmers OF
the State recognize more fully the posi-
tion of the Experiment Station as an
educational factor for the beneht OF the
farmer and advise him to use it more
fully. We recognize the importance OF
the farmers institutes as conducted by
the State Board of Agriculture as an
educational factor along the line of ag-
ricultural training and thought.
1--WE would recommend that teachers
be paid better salaries and that provisions
be made for the higher education of our
girls"

and then they will believe us when We
tell them that we can afford to sell lower
than the Philadelphia tradesman. And We
can only get their attention and make
them believe this by advertising. We
want TO advertise so that VIC win get this

papers and put into the Philadelphia
papers Don't misunderstood me- We
can't do too much advertising I'm our own
city. We have good papers here. and we
should take every advantage Of their
columns"
owing TO the fact that AR l.awton was
obliged 10 leave early his remarks were
necessarily brief
James c. O'Neal, president. spoke in the
same vein. He urged that buyers who had
grievances against local merchants re-
port them to the Mercantile Association.
He suggested more elaborate display by
the stores here during Christmas time.

subjects not now taxed.

deprecated the poorly composed and

DOVER. Dec. 11.--With the installation
OF new officers just before final adjourn-
ment, the Delaware State Grange COM
pletely changed its complexion concerning
what has become known as the Delaware
College controversy.
Although elected after many ballots and
with only few votes. President S. Har-
rlngton Messick. OF the State Board OF
Agriculture. who now becomes the worthy
master Of Delaware. with his associates.
represents the Delaware College side OF
the conflict, and this means that the State
Grange will be hustled along in active
support and cooperation with Delaware
College and the Delaware state Experi-
ment Station.
Retiring Master Walker has been iden-
tilted with the opposition side OF the con-
test, which first became public when the
college trustees replaced DIR. Arthur Il.
Neale as head Of the Delaware Experi-
ment Station.
Protection For "Dry" Districts.
A number OF vigorous resolutions were
adopted. including these:
Resolved, That It is the sense OF this
State Grange that the law should be so
amended as to prevent the shipment Of
any such liquors from any wet territory
in the State. and further to discourage
such illegal sale it should be made unlaw-
full for any newspaper published in any
dry" territory to publish any advertise
ment Of any such liquors for sale
Resolved That a copy Of this resolu-
tion be sent to the governor, and a copy
to the speaker Of each house when the
Legislature shall convene. and the COM
mittee on legislation shall use their best
endeavors TO secure the endorsement of
such legislation"
Want Seeds Examined.
The committee on agriculture made
these recommendations, which were
adopted:
1--WE recommend that the State Board
OF Agriculture be requested to provide
for the examination # all seeds offered
for sale in this State, and TO publish the
results Of such examination and that
suitable penalties be provided by law for
the sale of adulterated seeds.
1--WE recognize the Importance and value
OF the work done by the state Board Of
| Agriculture during the past year for the
protection of the Delaware farmers. and
especially for its successful efforts TO pre-

Hot Shot For Railroads.
Applause and approval greeted the re-
/ port Of the transportation committee,
which arranged the railroads of the State
for unjust discrimination against locali-
ties having no competing means OF trans
Iportation. and declared that the service
rendered was by no means commensurate
with the rates charged, trains frequently
arriving late, resulting in reduced prices
for farm products.
The report OF the committee on iegis-
lation, as adopted, advocated the defeat
lof ship subsidy legislation and favored
Appropriations for the establishment OF
farm schools and laws protecting legiti.
mate business and enterprises and th'
furnishing OF business criminals"

All Japanese emigration TO the Unit

anese government When the Japan
ese diet meets a few weeks hence
Baron Komura, minister OF foreign af-
fairs. will make official announcement
that the government has decided TO

Though the announcement In Toxic

that the Japanese government has

as a matter OF fact the decision was
reached through long series OF ne
gotiations between Secretary Root
and Baron Takahira, the Japanese am

DUTCH CAPTURE
VENEZUELAN SHIP
President Castro Now Has a Good
Excuse for War With Holland
if He so Desires.
Cruiser eeIderIand Gathers In the
cuardship AIix, No Resistance BE-
ina Made by Venezuelans-
other Captures Expected.

wilIemstad. Curacao.-The putch
or,,,eer Gelderland came into this port
Sunday morning towing the Vehe'
gralan coast guardship Alix, with the
Dutch flag flying and Dutch crew
ON hoard The Gelderland captured
tho Ally off Puerto Cabello on Satur-
day. At that time the Alix was lying
close in shore, and, Notwithstanding
the threat which the Venezuelan gov
eminent had made to fire upon any OF
the Dutch warships committing nos
tile act. the Gelderland steamed al
full speed toward the guardship ana
sent an officer and guard in launch
TO seize her. This they did without
resistance. the Gelderland finally TAX
ing the Alix in tow and steamlng
away with her prize.
The seizure of the Alix was IN ac-
cordance with the plans of the Hoi-
land government when instructions
were issued to the three Dutch war
ships now in those waters to make
demonstration off the coast OF Vene
zuela and to capture any Venezuelan
shins of war or guard vessels that
ttev might find. The arrival OF the
Celderland at Willemstad SUNDAY
morning was greeted with unbounded
enthusiasm by those who noticed the
cruisers approach and soon the entire
population was down to the water
edge to welcome the return of the
Gelderland, towing the first OF the
enemy's ships, as though from grea
conquest.
Naturally, the people of Curacao
who have been long clamoring for ac
ttvity on the part of the Dutch govern
ment, are greatly reioiced over thu
evidence that Holland has at last be
gun active measures against Vene
zuela, but the governor of Curacao
discussed the incident as follows
1.-THE capture by our warships 0
coast guard and war vessels is not t.
be considered an unfriendly ac
against the Venezuelans. 1t is merel,
a reprisal against Castro's govern
ment, which refuses to give satisfao
ton for his unfriendly acts towar
Holland. The seizure of these yes
sells will make it impossible for tn
Venezuelan government to carr,
troops or ammunition to and froI
the various ports"

n.-Representatiye Per
kins of New York on Friday intro
duced a resolution, which had been
agreed upon, providing for the ap-
pointment of special committee OF
five members to consider the proper
means of dealing with that portion

duty outside their own bureaus.
The resolution is preceded by a
preamble reciting some expressions
or the message. No effort is made

house. In presenting the resolution
MIR. Perkins made a brief statement,
saving that he was satisfied that the
house would not hesitate to take such
action as the dignity of that body re-
