every sense.

i'm the twelve cars was full Of small
boys and small girls and the ride was
on. the procession sweeping through
town before the eyes Of admiring par
ents and other spectators. Some kid
dies were more or less i'm the seats
others sat on the floor. and others
stood, while for safety's sake. older
sisters and chaperons grabbed the
clothing of the standees There were
delightful bumps and bounces. when
everybody Dragged about his nose get
ting bumped harder than anybody
else's. and just wished another big one
would come along And everyone had
narrowing tales Of automobile acci-
dents. whose recital the chaperones did
not curb. thinking they would result
i'm Increased caution. And heaps Of
fellows wanted TO run the automobiles
they rolled the whole long word lux
uriously under their tongues. But the
grand point Of interest for girls as
well as boys, was whether they
wouldn't pass the car in front. or the
car behind pass them, and the chauf-
feurs were deluged with anxious in
quiries on the subject. Everybody
there voted for the highest speed pos
sible.
The cows and horses in the pastures
were occasions of wild excitement,
Every mile. the chauffeurs had TO tell
how far they'd come, and how much
farther Il was TO go.
When Delaware City was reached,
and pink ice cream was announced as
next on the program, all youngsters
camped out on the lawn of Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal Park, and II was
possible to count noses. one hun

passed tho cakes was a genius. He
handed them out one by one, and with
a keen memory, he turned down sec

fooling that small boy.
An event of great interest to the
children, and Of considerable en-
barrassment 20 the chaperones when
the questions began, was the passage
Of the Lord Baltimore" of the Erics-
son Line, through tho locks A number
OF kiddies had fine ride on tho gates
when they were closed afterwards.
Many were so fascinated by the autos
that they remained In them nearly all

It was rather pathetic to see them
standing around so inactive instead Of

LEWES $4,000,
SMYRNA $4,000
Appropriations Gotten for
Federal Buildings by Della
wares Delegation
RESULT CONSIDERED
VERY GRATIFYING

Announcement was made in THE
EVENING JOURNAL yesterday that
through the efforts Of Senators dupont
and Richardson and Congressman Head
an appropriation of $4,000 TO erect a new
Federal building at Smyrna and an ap-
propriation Of $4,000 to erect a Federal
building at Lewes had been included in
the public buildings bill passed by Con-
gress.
II was learned to-day that the Delaware
delegation has done much better than the
above statement for the appropriation
gotten for Lewes was the $4,000 origi-
nally asked for, whlle Smyrna gets
$500
This is very gratifying, inasmuch as
The Senate and House cut out appropria-
tions promiscuously. and in other in
stances authorized the erection Of Fed
oral buildings but appropriated no money
with which to erect them. Delaware GER
tainly got its share this time.
The Lewes appropriation Of $4,000 was
in the original bill as it passed the
House having been placed there through
the efforts Of Congressman Heald
In the Senate an amendment was added
by Senator dupont to appropriate S250c
Cor postomce at Smyrna. For a time
this amendment threatened TO make +,
necessary to cut the Lewes appropriation
to lower figure but the members of the
Delaware delegation were able to cause
both iterls to be retained as originally
intended.

ITALY WANTS
CHARLTON
Confident That Youthful SIay-

Surrendered

By United Press Leased Special wife.
ROME. Italy, June 25-Despite tha
complications that have arisen in
America over the return to Italy Of
Porter Charlton TO answer TO the
charge OF numbering his wife and
throwing her body into Lake Como, the
Italian Foreign once is stiH confident
that the youthful slayer will be sur
rendered.
While the Foreign Office officials re-
fuse TO give the reason for this be-
lief II is thought that their opinion
is based upon information that has
come through Official channels from
United States Ambassador Leishman
who Is expected 70 return to Rome
today from Lake Como where he
spent many days Investigating the
murder As son as he resumes his
official duties here Ambassador Leish-
man viii take up the matter ~

quls Di Sanguiliano, representing the
Italian government

matter any thought declare that even

uuittal on the plea now being foatered

not be severe. as there were no eve
witnesses to the tragedy and Charl-
toms story that the murder was the
result of sudden passion, and there
fore without generalization would
bring only a nominal sentence OF two
or three years upon him. There is
no death punishment I'm Italy and the
penalty for murders committed in a
frenzy Is very slight compared with
the same punishment In America.

dor Leishman 20 look out after the
interests of the Americans. The po-
/ lice claim that had IL not been for

they would have been able to arrest
/ the young slayer before he escaped
on shipboard for America This state
ment on the part OF the police is
| laughed at by Americans here. who
point out that young Charlton sailed
from Genoa on June ., the day before
the body Of his wife was dragged from
Lake Como. Had the Italian police
been active. however. they might have
had the steamer searched at Palermo
or Gibraltar, at both of which points
Il stopped on its way TO New York.
The police insists that the reason they
took no such action was that Com
sui Caughy kept demanding that div
! ers search Lake Como for Charltons
body. The consul believed that the
Russian. Ispolatoff. had killed both
Charlton and his wife and had thrown
both their bodies into the deepest part
Of the lake.

make formal demand for Charlton.
