OUT OF FORT GUARD HOUSE
Three Men, Two Serving Time for Deserfion, Escape
From Fort DUPONT at Nighf-May Have Gof
Away in Boat

to-day. however. nothing had been heard
OF them.
May Have Taker a Boat.
Officers at the fort believe that the men
made their escape by water. They could
have entered a rowboat and proceeded
into the Delaware river and landed at an
other point. in which event their liberty
for time at least, will not be jeopardlzed.
The Chesapeake and Delaware canal was
aptroled for quite distance but no trace
Of the fugitives was found
The escape was most daring. The men
delib,Eately cut their way out Of their
prison and awaiting a favorable opportu-
nifty crawied through the opening and
were gone.
The guard house, In which the men were
confined. is a frame structure, containing
two rooms. one OF them being the prison
room and the other the guard room. The
guard is supposed 20 make detour OF the
building every ten minutes and this he
did Shortly after making the usual round.
between and s o'clock last night. the
watch entered the guard room. and il
was then that the prisoners made their
escape.

Reception For the Governor.
A reception to the Governor, begin
ing at o'clock, preceded the seating Of
the diners at $50 o'clock. The recep-
tion was held i'm an upper room of the
Armory, and the Governor was en-
Enthusiastically greeted by many 10
whom, since his assumption of office,
his figure has become somewhat un-
familiar. The reception was not wholly
confined to the Governor. however, and
in the drill shed there were many in
formal little gatherings of many who
wished TO greet DR.. Burton, Mr..
Knowles and others who have been
away from Wilmington.
The superb decorations of the drill
shed formed a splendid back ground FOR
such little gatherings. The decora-
tions were matchless. Hundreds OF
yards of green and white rope Of
crinkled paper had been festooned from
the ceiling and hung along the walls
while about the many windows and In
the balcony in the south side of the
hall, occupied by the orchestra, were
placed a profusion of palms and potted
plants. over the heads Of the diners,
when they became seated, the long
ropes Of crinkled paper converged "a
form a huge star, at the FIVE points Of
which were japanese lanterns fashion
ed over electric bulbs. The dominant
feature OF the decorations was an i'm
mense eh1gy in colored crinlSled paper
Of the battleship Delaware, the admir-
able work of the House and Social
Committee Of the Board Of Trade. This
splendid picture covered most Of th'
north wall of the drill shed, and wa.
composed of five colors, red, white
blue, green and black. During thf
banquet striking incident was the
sudden turning down of arc lights il
the shed and the brilliant illumination
of the fanciful battleship from electri'
lights. over which the crinkled paper
had been fashioned.

"PLAY BURGLAR"
FLASHED GUN
Officer Saw Weapon Under
His Nose But Lands
Ills Man

Samuel Craig wandered into the
home of his brother-in-law. Arthur
Richardson, of No. 1924 Walnut street
last night TO .play burglar" Richard
son, quite naturally. thought Craig
was a burglar and got a policeman
who found Craig in the celler. Craig
flashed a rusty pistol, well loaded, and
tried to look ferocious. This morning
he was in City Court, charged with
breaking and entering and pointing a
pistol. He told Judge Cochran he was
only playing burglar with brother
in-law, and only happened to have the
revolver because he had taken 1t out
TO clean. Craig waived a hearing on
the charge OF pointing a pistol, but
pleaded no. guilty Of breaking and
entering.
Duncan, a patrolmans had peculiar
experience in searching for the sup
posed burglar. Richardson had seen
a man peeping through a side window
and had summoned John Fernandez, a
neighbor. Duncan and Fernandez
searched the house, and then went into
the cellar together.
There Duncan became reminiscent.
Il remember once" he said to Fer
nandez, "of being after a man in a
place just like this and we found him
hiding behind the stairs
1t was a coincidence that at that
moment Duncan peered back of the
stairs in the cellar Of the Richardson
house, and found a revolver at his
nose.
The patrolman knocked the weapon
away with his elbow. got half-nelson
on Craig and took him to a patrol box.
