OPPOSE THE new
ROAD PROJECT
Holly 0akerS Want Present
Highways Improved Before
Others Are Opened

There was an interesting meeting of
the Holly Oak Public Service Asso-
citation held last evening. The com
mittee on public roads was instructed
TO appear before the Levy Court and
protest against the opening of the road
from the Faulk road to the Boulevard
extended. The association believes
that the roads In Brandywine hundred
should be properly taken care of be-
fore any new road is opened.
The same committee will communi-
cate with the B. & o. Railroad Com
pany regarding the station platform at
Silverside
Considerable milk is shipped from
that station and the platform is con-
sidered dangerous on account of its
narrowness.
The question of maintaining the
Holly Oak road was taken up and the
committee will pay considerable atten-
ton to 1t. This is the only road
between Marcus Hook and EdgemoOr
that runs to the river. The truckers
from New Jersey unload their trucks
at the wharf at the end of this road.
The farmers at times have used this
road to the wharf. where they shipped
much grain. II has been reported that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
wishes to have the road closed and
the Holly Oak Association expects any
such proposition will close the road.

WILKIE TALKS

Praises the Wireless As a
Means of Assisting
Detectives

WRITTEN FOR THE UNITED

OF THE UNITED STATES SECRET
SERVICE.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2-In com
mon with everybody else. ! have fol-
lowed the Crippen case with interest,
and the denouement was quite in
harmony dramatically with the earlier
incidents.
The successful employment of the
wireless was beautiful demonstra-
tion of what may be accomplished
in the pursuit of a criminal and its
employment was a concrete illustra-
tion Of the fact that under modern
conditions and with the resources of
science at their command. officers Of
the law have made it well nigh inn
possible for fugitives to elude capture.
A phase of the case upon which the
attention of prosecuting officers will
be centered relates to the identified
tion of the victim and the proof that a
crime actually has been committed.
have noticed that my friend, Sup
erintendent FrOest, one of the ablest
officers i'm the world. who is at the
head of Scotland Yard. is confident
that the government has an inn
pregnable circumstantial case against
Crippen, and ! have very high re-
gard Tor the opinion OF this cOnserva-
tive officer.
II they succeed i'm convicting Grip
pen under all the circumstances, It
will reflect the highest credit upon
Scotland Yard and add to the many
laurels already won by this famous
detective organization.
