sclen Anniversary Club
Doubtless Will Prove Won
derfuI Success

Unusual interest has been aroused
by the announcement Of the Robelen
Anniversary Piano Club, made yester-
day in The Evening Journal Many
persons are talking about IL, and,
judging from the opinions expressed,
the company will easily dispose of the
trainload Of choice pianos offered un-
der such attractive terms. II seems
that the Robelen Piano Company
could not have selected a more popu-
lar plan Of observing its 4Oth ami
versary in business than TO give the
public the opportunity to get an ex-
cellent piano under the conditions set
forth.
Not only is the public given a
chance to save practically 500 in the
purchase Of a piano, but this saving
can be accomplished and the piano
can be paid for under terms that will
not work the the least hardship. The
pianos sell regularly for $3.50 not only
I'm this State, but in every other place
They have been sold at that price
right along by the Robelen Company
But by an unusual deal involving the
purchase OF an entire trainload Of
pianos, the Robelen Company is en-
abled to offer 200 OF the $3.50 pianos
at $2575O each.
These 200 pianos will be sold, So
cash then Sl.25 a week There is
positively no interest TO pay. The
So Just about covers the carriage and
delivering-yet the So payment made
when you join the club is credited 70
your account. The piano is delivered
! Immediately. You do not have to wait
until the club is filled. You get your
piano when you Join. The remainder
is payable every week, Club members
do not have TO pay more than Sl.2b a
week II they wish. This gives them
2O2 weeks in which TO pay for the
piano, and still get It at the club
price of S257.50.
The Club Members Agreement has
2O2 Coupons attached 10 it-much like
bond A Coupon represents a week.
Two Hundred and Two Coupons rep
resent 202 weeks, or the life of the
agreement Every time a payment is
made one Of these Coupons is stamp
ed paid" If payments are made in
advance-that is, before they are due,
a rebate OF Is cents for each and
every week is handed over TO the Club
member I'm cash. You can, therefore,
see that the price (S25750) can be
reduced just as many times fifteen
cents as you will pay weekly pay
ments in advance of before they are
due.
Every instrument is guaranteed,
without reserve-for FIVE years. If,
after 80 days trial, the piano is not
satisfactory the Robelen Company
will give you your money back.
Every club member has a full year
In which to satisfy himself as to the
character of the piano II It does
not prove to be everything that he
expects he has the privilege of ex-
changing It without one penny's loss
for any other instrument Of equal or
greater value that the Robelen Com
pany sell.

life of his contract the company Will
Immediately send a receipt I'm full to

is included without extra cost. The
piano will be turned twice without
charge Club Members have an OPP
portunity to still further reduce the
cost Of their piano by procuring other

Roberts Denies Crime.
The detectives talked withRoberts
about the crime and he vigorously
denied any knowledge OF it. He says
he can prove he was not in Claymont
on the night the murder was COM
mitted
Detective Gillis said he had evi-
dence against the prisoner which
would come out at the trial, but not
before. II is known, however, that
the principal evidence on which they
rely is the allegation that he was
seen by several persons at Claymont
on the Friday night OF the murder
and was at his brothers. home there
that night, and the allegation that
the footprints leading from the Rob
erts home to the cherry tree from
which the murderous club was twist
ed are footprints that would be made
by a shoe patched as Roberts shoe
was patched Whether the detectives
found the missing wallet or the stolen
Casey revolver in Roberts room when
they searched it they will not say.
They searched Roberts room on Sat
urday without his knowledge, 1t was
said to-day.
Roberts has a bad reputation. He
was released from the county work
house a short time ago, after serving
two years for burglary in Claymont.
Several years ago he was arrested
and tried for the murder Of John Car
ter, near Chester, whose body was
found in his wagon. He was ac-
quilted on the evidence of a man who
declared that he had seen Roberts in
Ohio when the murder was COM
mitted.
A few months ago, Charles T.
Spencer, a secondhand dealer at Sec
ond and Dock streets, Chester, was
badly beaten and robbed of 5000. The
Chester police believe that Roberts
committed this deed but they were
never able to- get sufficient evidence
against him.
Mr.. WOIcOtt Here.
Deputy Attorney General Wol,ott
when seen to-day and asked when he
would -repare the extradition papers
to be presented to Governor Penne-
will, said that he would do so as ex-
peditiously as possible Whether to-
day or tomorrow he could not say.
When Mr.. Wolcott was told that
Detective Gillis was confident that he
had the right man in Roberts, the
deputy attorney said that the negro
was practically the only person left
upon whom suspicion could rest.
He was asked il the black leather
wallet which was stolen from the safe
in Casey's store and which was sup
posed to have contained a large sum
of money. and the revolver which Mr.
Casey was known to have had. but
which disappeared, were recovered and
he replied that he could not discuss
any det%s OF the case at this time.
He said he had not seen Gillis since
returning from Lewes and did not care
to talk about the case until he did.
The appraisement of personal effects
OF Mr. Casey had not been completed
yesterday, but It was thought that the
appraisers would finish their task to-
day.
The administrators will make an
effort to sell the store,in its entirety
and In case this cannot be done the
stock and fixtures Will be sold al
auction. No time hase been fixed fol

URGES UNIFORM
FREIGHT RATES
Waterways Commission Seeks
Harmony Between Rail and
Water Lines.
GREAT LAKES TRAFFIC LARGE
Attempt Of the Railroads to Freeze
Out Composition Appeals to Com
mission as Biggest Drawback
to Waterways Progress.

Washington. Jan. 24.-The prelimin-
AIRY report of the National Waterways
commission. based upon a comprehen-
sive investigation in this country and
abroad, was submitted to congress to-
day. 1t recommends among other
things, a general plan of conservation
of water power, and the resorting to
federal ana state legislation rather
than TO unnecessary Improvements
merely to enforce a reduction of rail-
way freight rates and with the inhibition
on the other hand of the manipulation or
such rates as TO freeze out water com
petition. The report also recommends
uniform system of distribution of
the coast of the waterway Improve
ment between the federal. state and
local governments; the restriction of
dam construction permits; the inaugu-
ration of such waterway projects only
as can be completed within reason
able time; a federal tax of power fur
nished to consumers; and the reserva-
tion by the government OF the power
to alter or repeal power rights.
The most essential requirement for
the rehabilitation of the water traffic
If asserted, is To be the establishment
of harmonious relations between the
railways and the water lines. No fed
eral Improvement of waterways will
suffice, the commission insists, with
out the cooperation of the communi-
ties and the business interests and be-
tween the rail and water routes. The
most striking instance cited of a de-
crease in water borne traffic is that of
Erie canal. though the commission re-
CARDS as quite as striking" the de-
crease i'm traffic on the Mississippi
river and its tributaries. The report
says, on the other hand, that the traf-
fc on the great lakes has increased
The preliminary report will be fol-
lowed by a subsequent report with
further recommendations.

SEEKS TO STOP MERGER

Former Owner of Utah Copper
Company Fighting Deal With

IS UNFAIR TO UTAH COMPANY

New York, Jan. 24.-In the United
States Circuit Court at Trenton to-
day argument was heard i'm the injunc-
tion proceedings started by Colonel
f. A. Wall to prevent the proposed
merger of the Utah Copper company
and the Nevada Consolidated Copper
company. Colonel Wall was formerly
the owner of the Utah Copper COM
pany and In seeking TO prevent the
merger he claims to be acting for the
best interests of the stockholders of the
company.
II the Court grants Col Wall per-
manent injunction il will prevent the
special meeting called for tomorrow
for the purpose of increasing the stock
of the Utah company from 100000
shares to 100000 shares, which 1t is
purposed to exchange for the shares
OF the Nevada Consolidated Copper
company on the basis of one share OF
the former for two and one quarter
shares Of the latter. In his applica-
tion for an injunction Col Wall ar
gues that the proposed combination is
in violation OF the sherman Anti
trust law. and that the basis of con-
solidation is unfair 10 the Utah share
holders, as the Utah property, it is
alleged, is worth much more than in
dicated by the exchange basis propos-
ed.

TRIAL In FEDERAL COURT
Head Of Defunct Mineral Point
Bank at Superior May Have
Violated Law.
FAILURE CAUSED TWO DEATHS

| superior Wis, Jan. 24-The term
OF the federal court which convenes
here tomorrow will be made notable
by the trial of Alfred Spensley. presi-
dent OF the defunct First National banl,

institution was arrested on charges OF
violating the national banking laws.
Since his arrest Spensley has been at
liberty on $4,000 bail.
No bank failure that has occurred in
Wisconsin in years has been followed
by such an appalling string of disas-
ters as has followed the closing OF the
bank at Mineral Point, which was re-
garded as one of the strongest finan-
cial institutions in the state. The fail
ure of the bank was due directly to
the speculations of Phil Allen, jr.. the
vice president, who looted the bank to
the tune Of 100000. Allen has been
tried and sentenced to the federal pen
itentiary at Leavenworth. Following
his conviction came the arrest of his
wife, her sister and brother-in- law on
charges of concealing property belong
ing to Allen in an effort to circumvent
his creditors.
The most appalling climax to the
bank failure, however, was the suicide
of the cashier. Frank T.. Hanscombe,
followed by the death of his mother-in-
law. Hanscombe. though himself in
nocent of any blame attaching to the
bank failure, felt keenly the humilia-
tion of the situation and the disgrace
