FOUR TERMS OF U. S. COURTS

Congressman Healds Bill Passed
Congress Unanimously by the House
Congressman Heald's bill providing
for four terms of the United States
Circuit and District Courts in the
District of Delaware was passed un-
animously by the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington Monday.
1t is expected that the bill will be
passed by the Senate in the near fu-
ture, as Senators Dupont and Richard
son will look after it there. At present
there are but two terms of court held
in Wilmington each year, the June
and October terms. By the four
term arrangement it is expected that
cases can be disposed of more speed
lily and the court businss facilitated
without additional expense. Con-
gresham Heald made clear and con-
vincing statement of the necessity
for enlarging the number of court
terms, and also pointed out that
Judges Edward G. Bradford and
George Gray and District Attorney
Nields, as we'll as members of the
Bar were in favor of the change pro-
posed.

Addressed the Century Club Last Fri-
day Evening On Asiatic Smyrna.
Last Friday night large audience
assembled to hear the Rev. F. j.
Kinsman. Bishop of Delaware, de-
liver an address on Smyrna. "
There were some humorous references
as to which Smyrna was meant and
the genial bishop found some points
of similarity between our town and
its Asiatic namesake. The lecture
was most interesting and instructive
and the pictures and description of
those far Eastern cities with many
legends and historical references
thereto made very enjoyable even
ing. The music consisted of a piano
trio, Miss Julia HUM, Miss Edith
Beck and Miss Lillian Speakman.
Next Friday the club meeting will
be held at p. m. 1t is Junior
Day and the children of Club mem
bers are invited to be present. Cor.

Finds His Duties at Atlantic City too
Much to Attend to Both
Having spent nearly twenty-four
years in Smyrna and in that time

this section an improved transporta-
tion service and having been instru-
mental in the development of Smyrna

treasurer of Smyrna Transportation

ties on Mr.. Jardine as Manager of

director of the Smyrna Transporta-
tion and Manufacturing Company un-

DoVER's BIG REAL ESTATE SALE
Property Long Desired Is At Last Mar
keted-Property Sold BY Piece
meal Brings Over $I7,722.

The Kerbin property, Dover's best
known family residen,e plot, when
put at public sale Saturday afternoon
attracted real estate men, capitalists
and business men from all parts of
Dover and vicinity. The property
was sold piecemeal and bought total
of SIT, 722. Several old houses situ-
ated on the property have been held
by the Kerbin family because of
their old associations, but the heirs
finally agreed to sell and there was a
scramble for the real estate, all but
two of the buyers evidently realizing
that the houses would have to be
moved off and the valuable real es-
tate adapted to the more progressive
conditions IN that part of town. The
property adjoins the Federal Building
in Dover, fronts on the open triangle
of which the Hotel Richardson forms
the Apex, and has been refused in
order, the promoters of the Dover
Opera House, Masonic Temple.

chasers were different individuals,
and it is not thought that any great
building enterprise is now contem-
plated. The sales were as follows ::

MIOOLETOWN HAS DARING
AND THRILLING ROBBERY
POSTOFFICE SAFE BLOWN OPEN
S7oo WORTH OF STAMPS TAKEN
Yeggmen Arrive and Depart in Auto
mobile While the Town SIept.-No
Clue to the Guilty Parties

Glue 10 the Gulltv ParteS
Yeggmen who arrived and depart
ed with their plundAr in an automo-
bile is the latest form of robbery in
Delaware. 1t was in this manner
that the postofice at Middletown was
entered early Saturday morning, the
safe blown open and robbed of about
$500 in money and postage stamps.
The "job" was done successfully,
the robbers making a getaway"
that for quickness overshadowed all
other burglarins that have occurred
in this State. Although Government
detectives are on the case there is no
clue. Early on Friday evening a
touring car painted white and convey
ing four strangers reached Middle
town from the north. Two of them
alighted and walked through the town
during the evening. They were each
about thirty years of age and fairly
well dressed. They asked pedestrians
all kinds of questions and were sup
posed to be drummers who were stay
ing in town over night. AS no trace
of them could be found yesterday
morning it is supposed tney were the
yeggmen and that they were Joined
by the other two men in the automo-
bile when plans for the robbery were
completed. The intruders gained an
entrance into the frame building on
Main street in which the postoffice is
located by prying open the front
door. A hole was drilled in the safe
door al d dynamite or some other high
explosive, inserted. The explosion
broke tae combination and made it
easy to open the door. The contents
were appropriated and the robbers
departed before anyone in Middle
town knew that robbery had been
committed. Mrs. Ella Cochran,
whose residence joins the postoffice,
heard a report like that of a pistol
at 2 a. m AS there were no other
shots and no accompanying disturb
ance she paid no further attention. to
the matter. Middletown has a
night policeman but his territory
is so large the robbery could easily
have been committed while he was
in another portion of the town. He
goes to the Delaware railroad station
regularly to meet the southbound
train arriving there at 1880 a. m.
1t was probably while he was there
that an entrance was effected to the
building. This gave the yeggmen
an opportunity to drill the safe door
after shutting themselves in the
postofice. A sledge hammer, which
had evidently been stolen from a
railroad. was left behind. Post
master John A. Jolls is making an
examination to learn the amount of
money left in the safe over night.
The boxes containing the money and
stamps were taken in their entirety.
This apparently shows that an auto
mobile was used in carrying away
the booty. This was the second time
the safe in the Middletown postofice
was robbed, a similar burglary with
out the automobile accompaniment,
having occurred ten years ago. AT
that time the'combination of the safe
was broken with chisel.

Lester E. Voss, son of Emory Voss

DELAWARE WOMEN WANT

homa Senator Presents Petition

homa Senator Presents Petition
The petition of Delaware women
for a constitutional amendment that
would grant women right to vote
was presented in the United States
Senate at Washington Monday by
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma. He
also presented the petitions of
women of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, West Virginia and Wash
ington. 1t is thought that the Della
ware suffragists had Senator Owen to
present their petitions because they
regard Senators Richardson and Du-
pont of Delaware to be opposed to
votes for women. In their recent let
ters replying to the Delaware Equal
Suffrage Association, the Delaware
Senators gave no encouragement to
the suffragists, Senator Richardson
voicing his opposition to propaganda,
and Senator Dupon. in turn asking
the women some question as to how
far they would go in giving women
the franchise. Mrs. Martha S. Carns-
ton, of Newport, who has been repre-
senting Delaware at the National
Equal Suffrage convention in Wash
ington has returned home. In taking
up with this movement Delaware is
only following in line with other
states, but whether it will amount
co anything is a question of the
future. Down the state the opinion
is more or less divided. The suffra-
gists have some strong following
among some of the states most active
and prominent women.

Court Will Not Decide ] hem Until May

The court en- banc will not hand
d,wn a decision in the city election
cases before the May term of the
Superior Court. 1t is not known
whether the finding of the judges will
even then be rendered. Chief Justice
Pennewill is not abe to make any
definite announcement on the subject.
As is well known, the cases are those
Of Benjamin B. Allen, Democrat, for
the seat in City Council from the
Second ward held by Walter Rash,
Republican, and DR.. G. M. Almond,
Democrat, who contests the election
as City Treasurer of Howard D. Ross,
Republican. The basis of the con-
tention is alleged fraud in the
Fourth district "a negro setlement)
of the Second ward. Because of the
great interest manifested in the lit
igation the outcome is eagerly await
ed. To the fact that the judges
have been busily engaged for several
months in conducting court in each

FOREST FIRE NEAR cHEswoLD
Woods of Frank A. Moore Suffer as
Result of Long Dry Spell.

Cheswold, April 19.-Mr. W. B.
Knots, two miles west of Cheswold,
in burning brush last Saturday, one
hundred yards or more within his
field the wind unexpectedly carried
the fire up a ditch over on to Frank
A. Moore's woods. Here under the
very dry conditions. the fire became
fierce and sweeping in its course. A
large quantity of telephone poles
were more or less blackened and
charred, small quantity of sapps and
cord wood destroyed, besides the
damage to the young growing timber.
