fusion, yesterday afternoon. in which
Speaker Cooper had to call on the
sergeant -at-arms to preserve order.
several parliamentary motions We're
flashed across the hall.
Mr.. Williamson sprang motion on
the House for reconsideration Of the
celebrated oyster bill known as the
power winder or "naptha winder' bill.
Williamson's motion for a reconsidera-
tion failed by tie vote of 13 to 10.
Representative Ward tried for a re-
consideration Of the general corporation
amendment on Thursday, but failed by
a tic vote Of II to II. The bill pro-
vided for the admission of advisory
committees into meetings of boards of
directors.
BY this time the oystcrmcn in the
hall wero raising such a rumpus over
the failure of their power winder bill
that it looked like an armed detach-
ment might be needed. Speaker
Cooper came near a personal encounter
with one brawny oyster captain, but
peace prevailed.
To add to the confusion Mr.. Brad
ford offered a motion TO sit through
Monday night. The vote finally reach

NO INCREASE FOR
THE COMPTROLLER

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. March 2O-Republicans and
Democrats in the House divided only
once yesterday afternoon. The bill
increasing the comptroller's salary in
New Castle county was the rock on
which the ship split and the comptroller
will get no increased salary. The vote
was: Ayes, u; nays, L.
The jackson bill requiring all cam
vassers and shoppers and solicitors for
orders for outside houses to take out
the necessary mercantile license, pass
ed the House Mr.. Jackson explained
that canVassers for certain soap not
only sold this soap without a license
but sold houses full of furniture. Ped
dlers sold shoes and wares under the
very shadow of stores which paid
license.
The revised Hungarian partridge bill,
protecting these birds with which the
state has recently been stocked, until
1918. passed the House. Mr.. Bradford
explained that the only Senate change
was the substitution of the word twill
fully in the paragraph reading 'if
any person shall wilfully kill, take or
carry away" etc. This let's out the
man who mistakes the bird.
The House passed the Senate bill
amending Wilmington's charter by
adding two members Of Council to the
mayors cabinet-one of each political
party.

ROUND THE WORLD
AS A ST0WAWAY

After travelling around the world as
a stowaway, Thomas Hunt. OF this
city, has arrived in Philadelphia on the
British steamship Manchester Com
merce, having slowed away on the
ship while she was loading her cargo
in Liverpool.
Three years ago Hunt made his way
TO Seattle. and after a short stay de-
cided lac would take an ocean voyage.
Having no funds to pay his passage,
slowed away on a ship bound for Iqui-
cue. on the west coast of South Amer
lea. From Iquique he went as a stow
away to Valparaiso, thence to Aus
tralia. and from there 10 Lindon.
In London he found it was not so
easy to get back to America, the Off
cials of the various ocean liners to
whom he appealed for passage giving
him a flat refusal, as they had help
enough. He finally made his way to
Liverpool. and the night before the
Manchester Commerce sailed managed
&C stow away in the coal bunkers. Two
! days after the ship had put to sea he
made his appearance on deck and was
put to work to earn passage. As
Hunt proved himself an American citi-
zen he was allowed to land.

Easton CNd.) Quarterly Conference set
ting forth that DR.. Lightbourne was a
minister in good standing in the Congrega-
tional Church and a minister Of the FAIR
field West Association.
"We will show you that DR.. Lightbourne
had been dropped from the membership Of
the Congregational Church and that at
the time Of his admission TO this confer
once he had no credential of membership
in the Congregational ministry"
Mr. Dashiell raised a point that Mr..
Coursey's remarks came "perilously near
being an arraignment of DIR. Light
bourne but Bishop Moore did not think
so and directed Mr.. Coursey to proceed.
Mr. Coursey said IT would be shown that
A. s. Ross, whose signature purported
TO be on the credential received at Eas-
ton Church was not registrar OF the Fair
field West Association and was a fictitious
parsonage so far as that position went
Mr. Coursev said that in 1902 DR.. Light
bourne was recognized by Easton Quarter

gregational Church, and at the Conference
session in Crisheld that year he was ad-
mitted to local elders orders and at tho
Conference session in Easton in 1908 he
was admitted into fun membership in the
Conference. on the credentials purportine
to be from tho Congregational Church
and which were contended TO be forged
and fraudulent.
Made No Defense.
Mr. Dashien opened for the defense. 1--WE

of the church"
Mr.. Coursey then called on Miss Cur
lett TO read from her stenographic tran
script OF the testimony taken at tn
Iightbourne trial year ago. Mr.. Hof

tended that Dr. Lightbourne presented
the credential.
'All that we wish is to show that there
is nothing associated with the character
of DR.. Lightbourne which was completely
vindicated at the trial a year ago." said
Mr.. Dashiell.
Rass Was a Myth.
The testimony of Lewis L. Berry, Of
stamford, Conn, registrar Of the Fairfield
West Association, taken year ago. was
read I'm part II showed that DR.. Light
bourne was received into the Congrega-
tional ministry from the Independent
Methodist Church of Baltimore in 1886. On
October 6. 1896. he was dropped from
membership, and after that his name did
not appear on the rolls of the Assoc. alton
or in the year book. lie had no ministerial
standing after that in the Fairfield West
Association. Mr.. Berry further testified a
year ago that the credential signed "a. S.
Ross" could not be genuine, because there
was no such association as Fairfield West
Association in 1902 and no such person as
A. S. Ross as registrar of that associa-
tion. There was no record of DR.. Light
bourne requesting credential. Dewitt c..
Eggleston was registrar at the time Mr..
Berry's testimony pronounced the ere
dental an absolute forgery. so far as the
record of the Fairfield West Association
was concerned.
An affidavit made by Mr. Berry was
read setting forth that the style of the
credential received at Easton from "A. s..
Ross" in behalf Of DR.. Iightbourne was
different in style and form from that Of
the Fairfield Association.
Mr.. Dashiell put in no defense. "Wo ad-
init the invalidity OF the certificate" he
said.
Case Summed Up.
Mr.. Collins summed up for the Church.
He contended that it was through stand
ing the forged credential gave that DIR.
Iightbourne was received into Easton
Quarterly Conference and into Whining
ton Conference. and that he was enabled
nfhciato as pastor at Cordova, Epworth
Church. Wilmington, and Dover, during
the past six years.
Mr.. Hoffecker, in behalf OF DR. Light
bourne. said that at the trial there was
no evidence adduced to show that DR.
Lightbourne had any connection with this
paper. and the obiter dicta, ruled out by
the bishop then. so states.
Bishop Moore requested all but the seleci

WHAT OUR NEIcH6oR SAYS
ABOUT US.

The following, taken from the Daily
Oklahoman, of Oklahoma City. sets
forth the true conditions Of Chick
ashas water power advantages
Three miles southeast of Chickasha
is found the first dam that ever turned
a water wheel on the Washita river
within the state of Oklahoma, and it
may be said that the wonderful power
plant stands as an everlasting mon
ument to the thrift, energy and
confidence Of the sturdy citizenship
of the city.
Thrift, because the foremost citizens
of Chickasha have and are demonstrat
ing that they enjoy vigorous towr
growth; energy, because the life, spirit
or inherent power are In evidence
among the best citizens; and lastly
