HELEN TAFT SOON
TO enter SOCIETY
Prospective White House DGbu-
TAME in LlmGllght.

Kindly is the light that is now be-
ing turned upon a prospective White
House debutante, Miss Helen Taft,
who, since it is assured that she will
take her place in the great world this
winter has become a person of much
consequence to those to whom society
Miss Taft's likes and dislikes, the
amusements she favors and the friends
she prefers are all being anxiOusly
considered by certain persons, chief
of whom are the mothers of other
prospective debutantes.
Miss Taft, far from being stranger
to Washington, has already hosts of
acquaintances among girls of her own
age But the White House circle and
society in general have so long been
accustomed to look upon Miss Helen
either as a little girl in the nursery
or as one determined upon as a col
lege diploma that the thought of her
in the role of young woman of fash
ion is still somewhat new to them.
Miss Taft demonstrated what she
can do in that line last spring, when
at the last moment, she took Mrs
Taft's place as hostess at a dinner
| given in honor of a visiting japanese
prince Then, for the first time, societ!
saw Miss Taft as a charming younl

These are permanent and decided
improvements and matters concerning
which the Democratic administration
NAV Justly feel proud, anu in this as
will as in all other matters of perma-
nent improvement, the Democratic
Levy Court has not hesitated to eX-
pend money.
There is one matter, however, in
which the Republican administration
can Justly claim to have expended
more money than the Democratic Ad-
ministration has done, namely in the
matter of compensation to the Sheritfs
of Kent County for the board of pris-
OnerS.
The records of the Levy Court show
that between the first of September,
1906 and the first of September, 1907,
the Republican administration of the
affairs OF the county paid to the Re
publican Sheriffs for the maintenance
of prisoners the sum of $9,SS4.13.
For a like period of time, name
ly. from the first of September, 1909,
to the first of September, 1910, the
Democratic administration paid to the

During the year 1901, which was the
last year of Democratic control in the
affairs of Kent County prior to the
incoming of the Republican admins
tration. the taxpayers of this county
were called upon to pay the sum of
$J9.634.53 This sufiiced to pay all the
expenses of running the affairs of the
county under a Democratic admins
tratiOn.
Within two years after the Repub-
leans had taken charge of the affairs
Of the county they increased taxes to
the sum Of $S1, ,104.19, and later (name-
ly. in 1909. they further increased the
eXactions on the taxpayers of the
county by collecting the sum of $780,
620,43. Thus, within period of about
seven years a Republican administra
tion increased the burdens of taxation
by nearly fifty per cent, and this with
out any increased benefit to the tax
payers.

Recorder Mott hesitated in making
his decision, declaring that the PEN

he said he would not send him to jail
and fixed the fine and revoked the IL

DR.. Soden was arrested shortly after

ward Williams and spent the night in
cell. The physician was travelling along
Park avenue in the blazing automobile
when Policeman Williams's attention

station that an intoxicated man was
riding along in the burning machine.
The vehicle ran into the curb and the
officer placed the driver under arrest.

FIVE MEN KILLED IN

Victims Were Riding in Bucket
Against Orders.

DOVER, June S.-By the overturning
of car in which they were riding to
the surface of the mine, five men were
killed last night, the accident being due
so the officials here say, to disregard
ing the rule which prohibits miners
from riding in the ore-carrying bucket
The men killed were George Dorman,
Sauls Joseph Paul Dejenlo, John Pa
lonko and Charles Copenio. Dornan
is an American and lives in Franklin
Furnace. The others are Hungarians.
The crowd in the car caused it to
overturn, and the men were precipi-
tated 700 feet to the bottom of the
mine. One man, Louis Garro, was
fatally injured. He grabbed the rope
when the car upset and slipped for
many feet along the rope.
This was the second fatal accident
which has happened in the mine of the
Thomas Iron Company, the only other
being eight years ago, when eight men
were killed.
