PLEA FOR A CLIENT

DOVER, DEL, sne l7th.-Standing in
the midst of nearly three hundred law
books, Attorney. General Robert H. Rich
ards addressed the Supreme Court of
Delaware for the greater part of its second
days session, pleading for Solomon NJ.
Rosenberg, a merchant of Middletown,
who was the defendant in error.
Attorney Josiah 0. Woleott, represent
ing the Continental Insurance Company
of New York, appealing against court
order to pay Rosenberg's fire loss, had oc-
cupied the attention of the conrt for three
hours ending last evening, the company
contending that the goods had been over
insured.
Rosenberg's claim to-day in substance
that the company's agent at Middletown,
W. S. Letherbury, having knowledge OF
the amount of concurrent insurance, ac-
cepted his money from time TO time for
premiums and issued hispolicies, having
such knowledge. The plaintiff in error
also contended that the burden of estab-
Hlishing any allegation of fraud rested upon
the insurer, who issued his own policy
in his own language and required the in
sured to take it and contract for it, or let
il alone,

DISTTLLERY AGTTATES SMYRNA
CaspersOn's Mill Site Said to Be Leased
For That Purpose


The temperance people Of Smyrna and
Clayton are up in arms over the report
which seems to be authentic, that dis
tillery is to be erected on the old Casper
son Mill Property, just across the Kent
County line above Clayton. Tuesday
morning Vice. President John P. Hudson
of the Duck Creek Hundred Law and
Order Society, and Rev. DR.. Robert Watt
visited Clayton, and were informed by
John VanGesel that he had rented the
old mill property to a man in Marydel.
1t is understood that the renter will begin
the erection of a building on the site in
few weeks. The renter, it is claimed,
has his Government license and will soon
apply for State license. The latter must
be procured from the State Treasurer
upon the payment of $500 annually.
With the facts that were obtained, it was
determined to call a meeting of the Duck
Creek Hundred Law and Order Society
Friday evening. A delegation from Clay
ton met with the Society to discuss some
means OF preventing the issuing of a State
license. The good people of Clayton and
Smyrna are indignant over the report
and a tremendous remonstrance will be
made against any attempt to operate a
distillery in this vicinity. Kent county
is now dry" and to place rum hole"
just across the line in New Castle County,
in hundreds that have already shown by
decisive vote but were prevented from
enjoying the fruits of their victory that
they do not want such an institution, is
particularly nauseating.

PAYING UP SUBSCRIPTIONS

The newspapers are having all kinds
of experiences collecting back subscrip-
tions in compliance with the new rules
laid down by the postoffice department.
The following is reported by a Pennsyl-
yania weekly:
There was man by the name of-say
John Doe, who sent US three notices to
stop his paper. He didn't want it any
longer. We wondered what was the
matter. Upon investigation We found
that John was short $40. He had never
paid a cent and yet he stopped his paper
as matter Of economy to US. He did
not want us to lose any more by him. A
few days afterwards Doe was at church
and his melodious voice rang out loud
and clear in that old stirring hymn "Jesus
Paid 1t ALL" The next day we sent him
receipt in full begging bis pardon fol
| not knowing that be made an assignment
of his abilities.

ton, and with fourteen dollars in cur.
rency, a young man of Warwick, Nd,
blew into town Saturday evening and
announced his intentions.
"Of course there was no trouble in
finding willing guide, and ere long the
festive Warwicker was cozily ensconced
in place where liquid refreshments were
to be had. In this place was girl, whose
smiling offer of refreshment in the shape
of bottle of cold beer was accepted by
the Marylander. Strangely enough it
was not long after he had purchased and
consumed part of this cooling drink that
he became drowsy and requested an op-
portunitY to take little nap.
"The desired accommodation was given
he alleges, and at an early hour in the
morning he was rudely awakened by the
possessor of grutf voice and powerful
physique, who unceremoniously hustled
him out into the unfeeling world. After
getting outside the house, the Marylander
claims that a search of his leans" dis.
closed the painful fact that all his riches
had taken unto themselves wings. He
told his troubles to a friend, who gave
him assistance for the time being, and
this morning he will probably apply to
the police for warrant for the one he
suspects of having made away with the
coin. As evidence, the Warwicker will
go to the police station armed with the
unlucky bottle Of beer, or what is'left of
it, in order that a charge of selling liquor
without license may be added to that of
theft. ."-jSenday Star.

DOMESTIC coNFEssEs
.... TO TAKING DIAMONDS

Chief Detective Joe Ryan succeeded
Thursday morning in unearthing the
thief who stole the diamond rings and
other jewelry at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob /. Piper, on Chance avenue,
and by 10 o'clock in the morning he
had landed Miss May Hite, the domes-
tic at the Piper home. When Mr.. Ry-
an went to the place he was confident
that the girl knew all about the rob-
berry and he placed her In the "sweat
box" She maintained her innocence
for long time, but when Ryan or
dered her to get the gems from their
hiding place and assisted her from the
chair upon which she sat she con-
fessed and said that the rings were
hidden in the cellar Of the home. This
same girl had worked at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. c. Stein, East Lake
street and Belden avenue, and during
here time there gold watch belong
ing to Mrs. Stein was taken. Since
that time the watch was returned to
the Stein home, suspicion pointing
strongly toward the domestic. Coup
ling this with the theft at the Piper
home Detective Ryan was determined
to land the missing articles and he
pressed the g.rl so strong that she
finally admitted that the rings were
in the cellar. Miss Hite is a good
looking girl, we'll dressed and 1t was
hard to make those at the Piper place
believe that she had committed the
theft. She is now In cell at the city
prison, awaiting action of the authori
ties. She says that her home is in
Cumberland, Md.
