SUNSHINE WON'T SERVE
MEALS AT COUNTY FAIR

Fearing that it could not carry out
The provisions of the contract,
the executive board of the
Sunshine Society, at its month
ly meeting in the Equitable Building
last night, decided not to accept the
restaurant privilege at the county fair,
offered by the New Castle County Fair
Association. 1t was decided. however,
to accept the ice cream privilege
AS result of the decision of the
society not to accept the restaurant
privilege. the fair association will
probably offer the privilege to the
highest bidder as was done last year,
although the fair associate officers
were not satisfied with this manner of
letting the privilege.
The Sunshine committee decided to
give musicale for the benefit of the
society this month. but no date was
set, and arrangements will be made
later.

ARGUING DOVER
CHURCH CASE

DOVER. Del, May Argument is
being made before Chancellor Nichol-
son to-day by Henry Ridgely of Dover.
and Franl, NJ. Jones Of Georgetown,
in behalf of the Wilmington Methodist
Conference, which is petitioning
through two trustees and a layman
for the opening of Wesley NJ. +.
Church, Dover, to the Rev. e. J.. Hof-
fecker. who was assigned by Confer
ence to be pastor Of the church.
The Rev. A. w. Lightbourne vas
pastor OF Wesley Church, and his de-
position from Conference has brought
about the troubles in Dover church.
The court room was well filled with
members OF the congregation and visiting
ministers James II. Hughes and John B
Hutton represent the official board Of tht
church. The bill Of complaint and the an
swer of the church were read paragraph
by paragraph. The deeds to the parson'
age also figure in the proceedings.
One Of the contentious OF counsel fol
Conference was that the church had adj
mitted its amenability to Conference by
sending delegates TO the Lay Conference
and also accepting ministers appointed by
Conference. In reply Mr. Hughes argued
that Bishop Goodsell last July had been
notified that Wesley Church did not de-
sire to accept a pastor named by the pre-.
siding Bishop.

county. that Henry c. Conrad will be
appointed resident Judge for Sussex coun-
ty and that Charles NJ Curtis will be
named Chancellor According to report to-
day, Victor b. woolley Of this city is now
slated for associate judge-at-large. For
several days the guessers have been di-
vided between Mr.. Woolley and William
r. Lyman for judge-at-large in making
up the speculative states, but It is said
that Governor Pennewin now intlines to-
ward Mr.. woolley as his first choice for
judge-at-large.
Judge James Pennewill returned from
Atlantic City yesterday afternoon and was
in Wilmington for a short time between
trains
with the consideration Of the name OF
Daniel o. Hastings for resident judge OF
New Castle county side-tracked. II will
open up n field for further speculation
as to the iudgeship for this county There
arc many who think that despite the
reluctance Of Mr. Hastings TO be con-
sidered. he may be appointed resident
judge other names mentioned to-day in
cludod most Of the Republican lawyers IN
this city. Some Of the new names heard
were those of Representative Arthur W.
spruance, Assistant City Solicitor Reuben
Satterthwaite, Jr. Deputy Judge Harry
p. Josiyn, city Solicitor Sylvester D..
Townsend Jr.. and David J. Reinhardt.
In addition the iudgeship boom for Frank
l.. Speakman. former prothonotary. was
/ a II
prophet that the selection for a judge
may narrow down to Mr.. Hastings, Mr..
speaSman. Mr.. satterthwaite or Mr.. spru-
ance. All arc among the younger MEM
bers Of the bar. Mr.. spruance is a son of
Judge William c. spruance.
Governor Receives Petitions.
Governor Pennewill gave audience to
many lawyers while in this city yes
terday. and tho fitness Of different men
spoken of for places in the new judi
ciary was set forth. The Governor has
received the petitions signed by mem
bers Of the Bar in behalf OF Victor 3.
Woolley and Of William T. Lyman for
places on the bench. The names Of the
signers Of the two petitions are being
guarded zealously and it is understood
the petitions are locked up I'm the Gov
ernor's Office at Dover. There is much
interest as TO who arrayed themselves
on the different sides. and behind It
all Is said to be a trace Of Democratic
factionalism.
The Kent County Bar Association
also has transmitted TO the Governor
the resolution adopted by it several
DAYS ago protesting against the APP
pointment Of a judge for that county
for some other county.
