from the statement by President Roose

for the Presidency or other high Office

resolutions because Of the fact that he
expected many Of the Catholic people

did not stand as the foe Of religious
and civil liberty. d.. Grace character

& decisive step toward tho vacatng
OF Justison strct for the Harlan and

The plan for the opening OF Liberty

Nevertheless. as the concern has not

rectors. Mr.. Salisbury may have some
thing further to say.
To-day's procedure was very gratifying
to a committee from the Mercantile As
sociation. which had come to urge all
necessary haste In the vacating OF Justi-
son street The action also gave Director
John G.. Gray occasion to defend tho
street board from any accusation that Il
had been hostile 10 the Harlan and Hoi-

Gray reminded the committee that the

Superintendent of Schools
Twitmyer Has Decided Not
to 90 to Chicago

Deciding TO remain in Wilmington as
Tie head of the public schools, Superin-
tendent George w. Twitmyer. has notified
the school authorities of Chicago. that
he cannot accept their proffer of a posi-
ti0n as instructor Of English in the train
ing school for teachers in that city.
Though the position open TO Mr. Twlt-
myer in Chicago pays much more than
hts place as superintendent Of schools
here, he says there are other things than
money to look at. "The specialized work
1 would be called upon to perform in
Chicago" he said. would narrow my
field of work TO such an extent that il
would not be conducive to continued
growth and culture in professional skill
and knowledge"
While Mr.. Twitmyer did not say so.
the reporter Of THE EVENING JOUR
NAL who interviewed him to-day could
see that he has formed a strong attach
meni for Wilmington and his work here
in the public schools.
II was learned to-day that Mr. Twit-
myer has had three offers of places out
Of the city since coming here but he has
never mentioned the fact
That Mr. Twitmyer's decision to re-
main i'm Wilmington will meet with the

TO KNOCK OUT
DRY MEASURE
GrangerS Will Ask Legislature
to Provide Penalty
For Its Use
INTERESTING MEETING
HELD AT STANTON

Demand for a penalty for use of the
dry measure among milk dealers was
reiterated at the weekly meeting of
Diamond State Grange last night. and
the representatives of the Grange to
Pomona Grange at Centerville on We'd
nesday will request the county organ
ization of the Patrons of Husbandry
To bring the subject before the next
Legislature. Francis II. Hoffecker, at
torney Of this city, was the principal
speaker last night, and he presented
the Pennsylvania law as a model for
the bill to be taken to Dover.
The dry" measure has the same sort
of regard among milkmen as the
bakers dozen" among bakers. The
dry measure means that with every
ten quarters of milk sold by the pro-
ducer TO the retail dealer he gives one
free, making IL eleven quarts for the
price of ten. Obviously, the wholesale
dealer views such a measure with dis
favor and two years ago the Legisla-
ture enacted a law prohibiting dry"
measure The Legislature forgot TO
attach a penalty for its violation. The
grangers propose to make it a. good
law by attaching a penalty. and the
Pennsylvania law. which was quoted
by Mr. Hoffecker last night, and which
imposes a fine Of 50 is in much favor.
Consideration of the milk question
last night was made the more inter-
esting because it was really a meet
ing of two oranges Diamond State
Grange entertained the members of
New Castle Grange of Bear Station
An excellent musical and literary pro-
gram was presented by members of
Diamond State Grange and refresh
ments were served A feature of the
program was the reading of a paper
by Miss Helen NJ. Gregg. OF Newport
Grange News The paper was Miss
Gregg's conception Of how a big news
paper would treat grange items and
was in a humorous, vein. Members of
Diamond State Grange were carica-
tured without mercy. but those hit
hardest laughed longest. A recitation
by ex-senator B. a. Groves was much
appreciated.
