ANYBODY HERE
SEEN KELLEY?
Post Office Breaker POStpOneS
Prison Sentence by
Escaping Guards
JUMPS FROM TRAIN
AFTER FEIGNING ILLNESS

Word was received here today that
James Kelley, sentenced by Judge
Bradford in the United States Court
to three years imprisonment on the
charge of breaking into the postoffice
at Greenville, escaped from his guards
while being taken to the federal prison
at Atlanta, Ga.
The prisoner was being taken with
Asa l.. Van Vert, convicted of violat-
ing the oleomargarine laws, to the
prison and is said to have made mis-
escape by jumping from the train,
eighty miles this side OF Atlanta. He
is said TO have complained Of feeling
IN and asked permission to go to tho
toilet The privilege was granted and
once inside he locked the door and
dropped from the window OF the NOV
ing train. He evidently was not in
iured. Van Vert was landed in the
prison and will serve fifteen months
sentence.
The prisoners were accompanied by
Deputy United States Marshal Mitch
ell and his son Walter Mitchell and
Dr. Francis l.. Springer, of Newport.
The party leaving here for the south
on Tuesday.
Deputy Marshal Mitchell returned
but DR.. Springer is still in the South.
When seen today Mr.. Mitchell re-
fused TO discuss the case.
Acting United States Marshal Ralph
Finn when spoken TO about the mat
ter said he did not take the prisoners
to Atlanta and knew nothing about
the affair. referring the reporter 10
his deputy.
Does not your deputy make a re-
port to you as United States Marshal
whether he delivered his prisoners 10
the prison authorities" Mr.. Finn was
asked and this he admitted.
"Did he report on this case" he
was next asked, and then replied that
he had nothing TO say.

INTEREST TN
BRIDGE ROUTE

Much interest is being taken in the
location Of the proposed new bridge
across the Christiana river to replace
the present Third street bridge, for
which the recent Legislature author
lied the Levy Court to borrow $780,
600. It is said the course the Levy
Court has in mind for the bridge is
for IL to be constructed just north
of the present bridge, with the west
ern approach at a point between
Fourth and Third streets. and the
eastern approach from Third street.
Comptroller Philemma Chandler.
however, is opposed to this plan and
thinks the bridge should really be a
continuation of Fourth street. thus
avoiding turns or angles for teams to
and from the center Of the city. He
points out that Fourth street is the
widest thoroughfare of the city, and
that traffic is very heavy over the
Third street bridge, and would be
aided materially by the bridge being
made a continuation of Fourth street.
This location would interfere with the
wharfng privileges of the Wilson
Line, however.
1t is believed that some plan will
be agreed upon to have the bridge ap-
proach to curve gradually from Fourth
street and have the bridge construct
ed so that it can curve gradually into
Third street on the east side of the
Christiana.

City Committee, In the near future

himself in many campaigns.

ter victory I'm the successive cam
paigns. He has held but one polit-
ical office, that Of Recorder OF Deeds.

pointment in the near future. for

Given Opinion, But Is
Expected Too

Attorney-General Gray this morning
said he had not been asked for nor
had he given an opinion as to wheth-
er under the law taxing amusement
places passed by the last Legislature,
pool rooms containing tables run for
profit are amusement places" and
subject to a state tax of S25 a year.
Mr.. Gray said he had not even read
the new law.

Peace Brown sent formal request
to the Attorney-General for an opin-
ion as to whether pool rooms should
be taxed for state purposes under
It.

Quoting public pool tables notifying
them that a state tax of $25 must be
paid. This notification has caused
great agitation among the owners of
pool tables. particularly those in ss-
looms, and there has been talk of test
ing the law. Attorney-General Gray's
opinion will be awaited with inter-
ast.

POSTOFFICE
ON HIS HANDS
Chancellor Curtis, as Bonds
man, Finds EimSeIf Re-
SpOnSibIe at Newark
GOVERNMENT NAY
TAKE CHARGE, HOWEVER

Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis has
a Postoffioe on his hands. It is the
Postoffce at Newark The Chancellor
finds that he is responsible for the
office because he was surety for Del
aware Clark. the Postmaster, who died
suddenly yesterday morning. Some
time before he was appointed Chancel-
lor, Mr.. Curtis and his brother, viii
liam F. Curtis, now deceased, because
sureties for Postmaster Clark, which
bond continues in force until the Gov
ernment cancels it.
Under the law when a Postmaster
dies the bandsmen become responsible
for the Office until Postofice Inspec-
tor takes formal charge of the office,
OF until a new Postmaster is named.
The bondsmen. however, can arrange
with the Assistant Postmaster to con-
tinue the Office until some other ar
rangement is made, or can designate
an acting Postmaster to conduct the
Office for them, which, however, does
not relieve the sureties Of their re-
sponsibility.
Chancellor Curtis being the only re-
naming bondsman of Postmaster
Clark is responsible for the Office un-
III formally relieved by the Postoffice
Department He went to Newark last
evening end had an inventory Of the
Office made.
Assistant Postmaster Lyman will
continue in that capacity to look after
the Office until some formal action is
taken to relieve Chancellor Curtis of
responsibility Inasmuch as Mr.. Cur
tbs occupies the important position Of
chancellor Of the state, It is expected
that the Postoffce Department will
send an inspector to take formal
charge and thus relieve the chancellor
of further responsibility. While Mr.
Curtis has no desire TO shirk the re-
sponsibility, it is felt that there might
be some embarrassment in continuing
his as responsible for the postoffice
when he has his judicial duties in Of
ice to look after, too.

NO POWER TO
CHECK JAPAN
Uncle Sam More Helpless in
Philippines Than
Elsewhere
IMMIGRATION THERE
CANNOT BE STOPPED
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE
United States Government is power
less to check Japan's expansion into
the Philippines and the Western Hem
isphere. it was stated by officials
here today.
In the Philippines, strange as it
may seem, this Government is more
helpless than anywhere else, as far
as japanese immigration is concern
ed. Under the present law, Japanese
are allowed free entry, subject only
TO the usual sanitary and pauperism
regulations. Heretofore few Japan
ese have entered, so that the insular
officials have escaped facing the prob
lem.
Now that the Japanese Government
has declared its intention of sending
emigrants to Manila by every steam
er, however, the Japanese question
will take on serious proportions. Be-
cause Of the control the Toxic Gov
ernment exercises over emigration,
sending its colonizers where 1t wills,
the chilly reception which the Fill
pinos are certain to give the japanese
will have no effect as a deterrent Of
immigration.

ter him with a big saw and wanted TO
cut off his head and take him to the
cemetery. All he says now is that
