A warrant charging w. Alan Sands,
a real estate promoter, with Offices
in No. 915 Market street, with big
amy, was sworn out last night by
Miss Sallie M. Taylor or Mrs. Sands. Of
sos Springer street, who says Sands
was married to her at Salisbury, Md,
on November /. She learned through
friend yesterday that Sands has a
wife and four children at Riverview
Heights, she says, and according to
her there was an exciting scene be-
tween Sands and the two women in

This morning she showed a certih-
cate Of marriage to Sands i'm st. Pet
er's rectory at Salisbury, signed by
the Rev. David Howard and witnessed
by her brother. Sands, she said. had
been going to see her for six months
prior to their engagement. W hile they
were at Ocean City she acted upon
Sands suggestion that they be mar
ried and the next day they returned
to wilmington as man and wife, she
says. Since then. according TO Mrs.
Sands No. ., Sands has placated TO
Mrs Sands No. 1 and his children by
pretending to so away on business
engagements.
Mrs Sands No. ? says her cousin called
up Sands home at Riverview Heights yes
terday and asked for 'Sallie.' which is
the name by which Miss Taylor was
known. The wrong Mrs. Sands answered,
there was confusion, explanation and hur-
ried word to Mrs. Sands No .. The latter

yes" replied Mrs Sands. No. L
"wen, I'm Mrs. Sands, too" said the
other
That's impossible" declared Mrs. Sands
No /, Indignantly.
And then there were explanations. dur
ing which Sands, himself, appeared.

take me TO Europe tomorrow" Mrs.
Sands No. 9 said this morning.
Sands is about Ss years old. He is a ma
tive Of England. but has been in this
country about 20 years.
He married Mrs. Sands No. about i
years ago in Chicago, it is said. He has
been in this city about a year.
Inquiries at the office Of Mr.. Sands and
also at Concord Heights this morning
elected the reply that he had been at
neither place to-day.
When inquiry was made at Mr.. Sands
home the statement was made that he
was not there, and It was not known
where he could be found.
Mrs. Sands. his wife, was asked IL she
had heard any reports about Mr.. Sands
having another wife. Il have nothing
whatever to say" she replied.

While there is q we'll developed Con-

urging the rejection OF Madriz by Con-

who has not been actively identified
with either the Hclaya or Estrada fac

News from Rama and Bluehelds, the
revolutionary strongholds that Madriz
is not acceptable TO the revolutionists
makes it apparent to the more con-
! servative people that his selection
would only prolong the revolution and
eventually result In another change in
executives.
Madriz is now on mis- way to Managua

Rear Admiral Adolph Mark
chairman of the Lighthouse Board
at Washington, and Commander ii. A..
Bispham, inspector of the Fourth
Lighthouse district who succeeds Cap

ter district, were in Wilmington to-
day. Commander Blspham practically
assumed charge Of his new duties yes
terday and Admiral Mark came from
Washington today 10 discuss the affairs
Of the district with Commander Dis
pham.
That there is friction. between Cap
tain Rand and the Lighthouse Board
Nas plainly evident today Admiral
Mark ignored Captain Rand and dis
cussed the affairs OF the office with
Chief Clerk Ruffhead. The Admiral and
/ Commander Bispham passed by the
door leading to Captain Rands Office
and went into Mr.. Ruffhead's Office.
| The latter was overheard asking Com
mander Bispham If he did not want
/ to see Captain Rand and the officer
replied that he came 20 Wilmington
not to see Captain Rand but to dis
cuss with Commander Bispham affairs

Captain Rand put on his coat and
hat and went out of the building.
Just what the trouble Is between
Captain Rand and the Lighthouse
Board WAS not learned.
Captain Rand viii not talk on tho
subject
Captain Rand is an army man and
Admiral Mark and Commander Bis
pham are navy men.
Admiral Mark said that his trip "a
this city today was simply 20 discuss
/ the affairs OF the district with Com
mander Bispham.
II was learned today that there Is
no danger of the lighthouse or engi-
neer's Office being removed from this
city, at least for the present. If it
was intended to move the offices it
would require a year to arrange plans
for such removal.
President TAFT in his message tc
Congress recommended the console

possible and It may be that the loca
office will be removed. ON the othel

NO MISTAKE.

No mistake was made in imposing
life sentence upon James Boyle, the
kidnapper of Willie Whitla, the little
Pennsylvania boy, and if the judge
erred in imposing a sentence of TWEEN
ty-five years upon Boyle's wife and
accomplice it was on the side OF
mercy.
The death penalty would not be too
severe for the heartless criminal who
steals a loved little one from his or
her parents. The bereft ones suffer
pangs far worse than death while ig-
norant Of the fate of their offspring.
AS all hearts went out to the Whitla
family in their distress SO doubtless
will all unite in applauding the SEN
tence Of just court.
"The Pennsylvania law" says con-
temporary. permits the imposition OF
Imprisonment for any length of time
from one year up to life sentence.
The crime is one of the most detesta-
BILE in the whole calendar, and no
punishmnt is too severe for it. The
speedy way in which justice has been
administered in this case ought to
have good effect"

SENATORIAL DANGERS.

The Iowa senators are by no means
alone in their denunciations of the Al
drieh aggregation of sectionalism and
selfishness. Senator Clapp, of Mime
sofa, also adds a. warning that a. 1909
tariq on the lines of the Aldrich bill
means a 1910 Democratic victory
throughout the country. Surely these
public men and politicians would not
talk in this manner If they did not see
breakers ahead. The difference be-
tween them and Aldrich is one of
viewpoint-the one sees nothing but
the special interests he specially rep
resents, and he is not a candidate for
reelection; the others see public SEN
timent and they desire additional
terms.
In the course of 1910 no fewer than
thirty senators will be seeking re-
election. Next spring and summer
they must defend the Aldrich tariff be
fore the people. They know it means
political life or death, Of the thirty
senators whose terms expire March
1911, only six are Democrats. Twen
| ty-four are Republicans, and in the
/ cases of fourteen of them the Demo
Gratis will conduct determined cam
paigns. Among the fourteen are Bur
| kett, of Nebraska; Beveridge, of In
diana; Carter, of Montana; Dick, o
/ Ohio; DUPONT, of Delaware; Kean, o
New Jersey; Warner, of Missouri
Il Nixon. of Nevada. and McCumber. o
1 North Dakota. To these should b
| added Aldrich, of Rhode Island
4 Bulkeley, of Connecticut; Clark, O
1 Wyoming; Depew, of New York, an
\ Scott, of West Virginia. A landslid
would bury all these men in com
mon grave, and over them would b
written, "Aldrich did it." The hattl
will be begun as soon as the Aldric

there be any such thing.

Il resented with due respect the

VICTORS OF THE AIR

Wilbur and Orville Wright have
shaken off the kings of the effete East,
and they stand today among the SOW
ereigns Of the boundless Western
world. They come back as full of
silent modesty as they held when they
went away, although they bring back
many honors, and pockets filled with
orders. They do not permit them
selves to forget business in the rush
OF glory that has overtaken them:
The modesty and common sense OF
the Wrights extends to their theory
of the use of their machines. They
say it has and ever will have its
limits. They believe. however, it can
be rendered useful in military opera
tions simply because it can be made
to rise higher than 1000 feet, which
is the upward limit of power in guns
They have contracts with the German
government which are to be made
good as soon as the tests at Fort
Myer are completed on June %.
The Wrights have clearly proven
tu4S Audu CdA Ay III ACdf1CA-eHnA- GA
machines. and neither the Wrights
nor any one else know what viii gov
out Of this discovery. No matter what
the final outcome may be the fame o.
the two Ohio boys is assured, fol
they were the first to demonstrate the
feasibility of flying in heavier-than
air machines.
