CAMEL AFTER NORTH POLE.

1t Is understood that DR.. Cook hopes
to be able to reach this country in time
to present the North Pole to John Gan
furled in Rochester. Cook and Camel
played on the Arctic Icicles when they
were young, and this probably accounts
for the general frigidity of the Roches-
ter leader. However, Camel hopes that
the pole will not be presented when the
weather is too warm. as he would not
for the world have his pennant chances
melt away.

Games at Rocky Point Tomorrow.
MONTREAL, Sept. 4.

- LID KING BRADY was a merry old soul, and q
merry old soul was he; but young King Brady
in his merriest moods would soon show gloom
lily. BY all of the accepted rules of baseball, the Tigers
should have won yesterdays game. but Brady, after
having the game handcuffed, endeavored to make Glenn
Curtiss and the Wright brothers look like selling platers.
Before Brady returned from his aeroplane trip in the
eighth round the Royals had gathered three talies ana
put the contest in the refrigerator. The Tigers DO not
expect to win every game on the road; in fact, they
have been doing as well as the most exacting fan could
wish, but defeat caused some gloom in the camp last
night. 1t was sure victory turned into defeat. That's
all However, baseball is a delightfully."- uncertain game.
One never can tell.
Three runs in the eighth, when king Brady blew
I'D, put the Royals one to the good. They had one tally
registered from the second inning, as against three for
the Bengals. The game was a hard one to lose. While
it would not have surprised the team If they had lost,

bitter one.

DR., RYAN INDICTED FOR
ILLEGAL LIQUOR SELLING
THREE BILLS FOUND AGAINST
THE SMYRNA VETERINARIAN
Each Presentment Made by the Grand
Jury Was For Selling Liquor in
DRY" Kent County illegally.

Three indictments were found yes
terday afternoon against DR.. Will
lam T. Ryan of Smyrna. Each pre-
sentiment made by the Grand Jury
against the veterinarian was for
selling liquor in dry" Kent county.
By a custom of the court, persons
convicted of liquor selling after pleas
of not guilty get one year; those
pleading guilty, get six months, all
at labor in the workhouse. DR..
Ryan's accuser in the first case is
Walter Brown. The second case
offers Robert Brown as States evil
dence, and the third, Isaac Vance.
There is also an array of other wit
nesses. Daniel Downs was acquitted
by Jury of the charge of carving
a revolver, because the defendant
proved that the States witness
against him was felon. William
F. Cook, the Dover restauranteur,
was indicted by the Grand Jury for
wife-beating. Conviction meaning
the whipping post, strong counsel
will fight for Cook 1t is claimed
that mental alteration can be shown.
Two important and sensational trials
were set for Monday and Tuesday of
next week by the Court of General
Sessions, in Dover. For Monday,
next, the two cases against Detective
Frederic Murphy of Dover, for al
legged attempt to bribe qualified
electors and the one case against
Joseph Broadway Of Smyrna, for
alleged attempt to bribe, will be
tried Both men are represented
by Walter H. Hayes of Wilmington,
and Deputy Harry P. Joslyn. At

in court when he asked that the court
set Tuesday for the trial of William
F. Hartnett, late sheriff of Kent, for
obtaining money from Kent County
under false pretenses. Hartnett was
tried and convicted on one indictment
early in the year. and it was then
generally supposed that the second
indictment against him would be
dropped. Attorney General Gray,
however announced that he would go
right ahead and prosecute the former
sheriff End Tuesday was set.-State

MANY PROTESTS AGAINST
SMYRNA'S NEW MOTOR CAR
INADEQUATE FOR THE NEEDS OF
SMYRNA BRANCH RAILROAD
Gasoline Motor Car Put in Service
Monday Morning and Was the OBJ
jeCt of More or Less Ridicule.


The gasoline motor car which made
its initial trip to Smyrna last week
with Superintendent Whitney and
party, an account of which was re-
ported in the Times, was put in ser
vice Monday morning and was the
object Of much curiosity. Judging
from the storm of protests that have
been expressed by the people of Smyr-
ma and patrons of the Smyrna Branch
line the innovation is anything but
pleasing. The car was more or less
the object of ridicule all during the
day. In comparison with an
ordinary Pennsylvania Railroad
coach, the new motor car seems like
a toy. The running qualities of the
car to all appearances is satisfactory
but the size of the coach is utterly
inadequate for the needs of a town
the size of Smyrna. In the first
place it only has a seating capacity
of twenty-eigEt persoas while there
are trips which the baggage depart
ment will not begin to meet the re-
quirements. So numerous are the
protests that already there is talk Of
a strong remonstrance being made.
Many are hoping that the Railroad
Company will see the mistake of
substituting such car for the SER
vice, and will either build a larger
car or reinstate the old steam SER
vice. There is some talk of a trail
er being added to the motor car but
even this is met with disapproval.
With the exception of Conductor Le-
gates, the only other member of the
crew is the mOtUrman who came down
with the car. The motor car meets
all trains and in a number of trips
the seating capacity is filled to the
limit and many are obliged to stand.
The daily freight is brought into
Smyrna by shifting engine from
Clayton.

Gives Notice to Presbyterian Congre-
cation He VIII Close Here Oct. 81.
Rev Arthur Richards, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, who last
week received a call to the pastorate
of Doerun Presbyterian Church near
CoatesvilIe, Pa, announced to his
congregation Sunday morning that
he would accept the call and would
resign his pastoral Office here on Sun
day October the 31st. A congrega-
tional meeting has been called for
this evening when Mr.. Richards
resignation will be acted upon and
commissioners appointed to seek the
dissolution asked for at the meeting
of the Presbytery at Washington, D.
c. October 25-27. Mr.. Richards has
notified the congregation at Doerun
that he will preach his initial Ger
mon there November the 7th. me
action of Mr.. Richards occasioned
no surprise and while there wera
deep and sincere regrets over the
severing Of the relations, there were
many who felt that their pastor was
ambitious for a larger church and he
was congratulated on his success.
After Mr.. Richards leaves, the
church will receive supplies and can
didates until another choice can be
made.

LEFEVRE AIRSHiP INVENTION
Rev. w. D. LeFevre, of Dover, Former
Iy of Smyrna, Has Invention Patented.

Rev. W. D. LeFevre, of Dover, Former
Iy of Smyrna, Has Invention Patented.
Rev. W. D. LeFevre's airship
which was discussed in the Times
some months ago before he moved to
Dover, has taken a more definite
shape and now only awaits the
needed funds to make it a practical
experiment. The Dover papers are
giving more or less space to it from
the fact that Mr.. LeFevere has but
recently august 81, 1909 had the
invention patented. Associated with
Rev. LeFevre is his brother, Enoch
S LeFevre, of Littlestown, Pa. The
LeFevre intention has a vertical mast
fastened to the bottom of the machine.
Near the upper end of the mast
are stationary aeroplanes with con-
trollable Stats that can be thrown
open when the craft is to descend,
and closed when going forward or
ascending. Underneath stationary
aeroplanes are eight vertical lifting
propellers. -Four of the latter revolve
like large kites around the central
mast in one direction, discharging
air underneath each other. This affords
each aeroplane stronger body of air
to float upon than the air it gathers
in itself. 1t is stated that the eight
revolving planes have more lifting
surface than any Of the air ships
now in existence. They are driven
by an engine at greater speed than
any other aeroplane. The inventors
declare the airship will be capable
of carrying large loads with ease and
safety. Rev. Mr.. LeFevre has just
returned from New York where he
witnessed aerial demonstrations He
and his brother hope soon to build a
machine along their lines of inven-
tion, and try it out in Dover.

URGED SENATOR DUPONT
FOR A FEDERAL BUILDING
SENATOR MADE SMYRNA SHORT
AND PLEASANT VISIT MONDAY
Met Number of People and Was Par
ticularly Urged to Use His Own In
fIuence In Smyrna's Behalf

Citizens of Smyrna got in a good
word for a Federal Building Monday
when United States Senator Henry
A Dupont, of Wilmington, payed a
visit here and was given a hearty and
cordial greeting. Senator Dupont
for sometime had been anxious to
meet his constituents at Smyrna, so
Monday he arranged to spend the day
here and at Clayton. He arrived on
the ten O'Clock train and was met by
Former Congressman Walter o. Hof-
fecker and Register of Wills Edgar
Spruance, who escorted him to the
Delaware House where, during the
day, he met a number of Republican
workers and received a large number
of callers of both parties. Business
men and citizens lost no opportunity
in approaching him strongly in the
interest of a Federal Building, for
Smyrna. H. B. Grieves and James
C. Robinson of Smyrna Town Coun-
Gil; William FAIRIES, of the Board of
Trade; DR.. E. S. Dwight of the
Smyrna Board of Health and a num-
ber of business men and representa-
tive citizens called to put in their
plea for Federal Building which the
Senator listened to with much inter-
est. He assured all who spoke to
him that as one of their representa-
tives in the upper house of Congress
and as a member of the committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, he
would use his best endeavors to get
the appropriation for Smyrna at the
coming session of Congress. The
Senator was shown some of the sites
offered including the several proper
ties corner of Commerce and Market
streets, the Smyrna House property,
on Main street and the Carr property
on Market street. The Senator while
much pleased with some of the loca-
tions named, said it was not within
his province to select a location.
This could be determined after an
appropriation was granted The thing
was to get the bill through Congress
and to this end he promised his per-
sonal aid and hearty support. During
the day Senator Dupont in company
with Hon. W. o. Hoffecknr, Edgar
Spruance, of this town, and W. D.
Denney, of Dover, private secretary
to Senator Richardson, were driven
over Smyrna and out to Belmont and
Woodlawn. The Senator was much
pleased with Smyrna and the people
he met. In the aftrnoon, shortly
after two o'clock, he was driven to
Clayton where he was given a cordial
welcome and met large number of
the people of Clayton.
