SUPT, WHITNEY ASSURES
SMYRNA BETTER SERVICE
WILL PUT ON A "TRA,LER" TO
ACCOMMODATE THEIR PATRONS
May Also Have the First Afternoon
Express Restored and Return Ac-
commodation From LOS Train

William FAIRIES, J. E. Hoffecker,
Edward G. Walls, L. NJ. Price,
Charles R. Massey and Samuel J.
Reynolds, the committee appointed
by the citizens of Smyrna to inter
cede for better railroad accommoda-
tlons on Smryna Branch, visited Su-
perintendent A. J. Whitney, Jr., of
the Delaware Railroad on Monday
and came away pleased with the wav
IN which they were received and
hopeful that their appeals will bring
the required answer. The committee
had an appointment with the superin-
tendent at nine O'Clock and all went
up on the early morning train except
George H. Dick, who was unable to
go. Superintendent Whitney re-
celved them cordially and they soon
got down to business. William
FAIRIES, chairman of the Committee.
presented the petition signed by 500
or 900 patrons of the Smyrna Branch
Line and in brief speech told the
object of the meeting and whv thew
had come. Mr.. FAIRIES said thev had
not come TO dictate, demonstrate or
even advise. eve Gomez he said
to be relieved of our sufferings. -
j. E win Hoffecker, secretary of the
committee, followed at length with
strong appeal and other members
of the committee said a word in turn.
Superintendent Whitney gave assur-
ance that Smyrna would get good
treatment, that the Company was
experimenting and was as well aware
as the people of Smyrna that the
gas line motor car was a disappoint-
ment and was not meeting the needs
and demands of Smyrna A mistake
had been made in calculating its seat
ing capacity. He said the Company
was now building a trailer which
would be attached to the present
motor car as soon as possible. Ample
seating and baggage capacity would
then be given. He asked that the
people of Smyrna be patient and
assured the committee that the COM
pany wanted to please their patrons
and give them up-to-date accomoda-
tions. When the point was raised
against losing the first afternoon ex-
press, Mr.. Whitney replied that "he
could easily have the train stop at
Clayton. - AS to the return of the
motor car from the LOS afternoon
northbound train, it was stated that
this had been arranged for the rea-
son that it was the "lunch hour" for
the crew. When told that the crew
had enough time to ''lunch" between
noon and the one O'Clock train, Mr..
Whitney said he would look into the
matter and see if the service could
be given. In fact he impressed the
committee that one of the objects in
putting the motor car on was not
only to meet all trains, but to have
it make extra trips for the benefit of
Clayton and Smyrna people. 1t may
take several months to get the
service properly adjusted. but that il
will come in due time, Mr.. Whitney

OVER 2Co GEESE MAKE ESCAPE
Break for Freedom After Being Trans
ferred From Odessa Boat.


ferred From Odessa Boat.
Two hundred geese which had been
fattened for the Thanksgiving holiday
and shipped on Steamer Clio from
Odessa broke from the crates on Dock
Street Wharf, Philadelphia, last
Wednesday and made for the League
Island flats. The geese were being
uncrated. After the tops of the
crates had been removed and while
Frank Cohen. Dock street poultry
dealer, to whom the shipment was
consigned, was looking it over the
geese rose in the air as if with one
accord, and descended like a stage
snowstorm into the river. Rowboats
and tug that went after them
brought back about thirty of the
geese, but the rest padded down the
river with all the speed they could
muster. and disappeared. Cohen es-
timated that each goose should have
supplied Thanksgiving meat for a
family of six, and that thus not less
than a thousand dinners had faded
from sight down the river when the
geese escaped.

SETTLED A $4,000 ESTATE.

William Wilson, of Dover, Leaves His
Brothers and Sisters His Fortune.
The estate of William Wilson,
which was cleared up the past week
after two public sales of his stocks
and bonds in Dover and Georgetown,
show that Mr.. Wilson's estate, in
cash, netted over $50, 900. Mr.. Will
son was for years head clerk for the
Richardon and Robbins Company. He
was a single man and died without a
will. His money, therefore, will be
equally divided between brother in
Philadelphia, a sister in Dover and
the children of deceased brother,

BLOW FOR MALT WHISKEY
Attorney General Says 1t Is a
Drink and Not Drug.
Furthermore II Does Not Come Up to
the Required Standard and Is
Therefore Not Marketable in
the state of Vermont.

The supply of aged citizens who have
long passed the century mark will
probably soon run low in Vermont for
Duffy's malt whskey has been turned
down fiat by the state board of health
The dwellcr in tho no-liccnso town must
now languish unnourishod, for his heart
can no longer he maze glad by this
famous preparation.
Under date of August o. John G
Sargent. attorney general of tho state
or vermont, communicated his decision
In reference to this matter to Henry y.
lioiton' secretary of the state board OF
hcalth. The controversy between the
manufacturers and the board If health
Is one that has been going on for some
u e and the point at issue was whether
the Whiskey was drug or a drink
The Hon. w. w. ARMSTRONG attorney
for the Duffy Malt Whskey company
took the position that the whiskev came
under the classification Of medicine in
the United states pharma copocia and ms
such was ont of the jurisdiction of the
board OF health Tho board Of health
claimed that 1t was q drink unde" section
5467 OF the public statutes and rs such
subject to their decision after cxamiua-
tion.
The preparation dd. not come w to
tho required standard and was. therefore
not marketable unless It could he sold
as drug. The decision Of Attorney
General Sargent makes this impossible
as he says that il is a drink aud no, n
drug. The state board of health comes
out on top.
