The Delaware Legislature has

The Delaware Legislature has no
doubt done great thing in passing
the DUPONT boulevard bill. We be-
lieve so. 1t is true that much was
taken for granted and a power un-
equalled in the history of the State
has been placed in the hands of one
man or his corporation, but with the
overwhelming preponderance of SEN
timent in favor of taking advantage
of Col. DuPont's mangnanimous Of
fer, the Legislature with the little
time left for consideration, did what
seemed to them for the best. The
bill should have had more considera-
tion. However, 1t is now law and
is up to Col. DUPONT to carry out his
promise. We believe when the
boulevard is built, provided i
strikes close to the incorporated
towns of the State, it will be thu
greatest thing that has happened TO
Delaware in many day. 1t open
great and untold possibilities and .
q developer will be Of incalculabl
value to the State.

1t is with feeling of pride that
we come out this week with a ten
page issue giving an account of our
recent improvements. The delays
incident to installing our new equip
ment together with the busy and
congested conditions of our book and
job printing department has pre-
vented US from saying anything
about it before now. We knew how
ever, it would keep and this week
on our second and lhird pages is
full description, illustrated with
half-tones and other cuts. With the
installing of new press and folding
machine, our press room has been
completely changed and modernized
and gives US a machinery equipment
ample for Smyrna's needs for many
years to come. Under its present
management, the policy has been to
be thoroughly up-to-date and to 10
this meant to throw out the old an
tedated machinery which had done
service for so many years for its
late editor and founder-R. D.
Hoffecker, Sr.
, With our new equipment we are
enabled to make our issue elastic to
meet the demands for all seasons of
the year. Our new folding machine
makes it possible for any number of
pages from four to twelve. AS the
standard size of the Times is eight
pages, we can, if a rush of adver-
tisements justify, come out either
ten pages or twelve pages. This
makes it better for our advertisers,
for our readers and for US. Often
during the holiday season we were
-cramped for reading space and much
good matter which our readers were
entitled to, had to be left out. This
is overcome by our new and up-to-
date equipment. Unlike most OF the
Delaware weekly journals. the Times
is entirely printed and controlled in
our own plant. We neither use nor
covet the patent inside or ready
print service. The Times is the pro-
duct of our own plant from begin
ming to end--entirely printed, fold
ed, mailed and delivered from our
own establishment.
We hope the change we have
made will be appreciated by our
many patrons. We are aiming at
all times to make the Times better
and more readible and to make it
possible for the advertiser to get the
best of service. We are proud Of
the 81 years record of che Times
and our desire is to hold and main.
tain the goodwill and esteem of not
only the community of which it has
SO long been distinct part, but tt
the county and State as we'll.

Four Seamen Swept
from Deck of Liner
by a High Wave

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-A tremendous
sea- which hammered the bow and swept
the decks of the Fabre line steamship
Santa Anna caused the death Of four
seamen and the serious injury of three
others. News of the disaster was brought
to port when the liner arrived today from
Marseilles and Naples.
The ships passage as a whole was
stormy and unpleasant, but 1t was not
until November % that the heaviest sea
was encountered. Described by Captain
Pavey as the Most terrific he ever en-
countered," a great mass of water rose
like wall before the vessel. then fell
with crushing force on the decks and,
sweeping over every part of the ship,
carried seamen Durand, Sartl, Calist
and Quarelli overheard like corks. Three
others were stretched out unconscious on
the decks. The impact of the wall of
water had nearly stopped the ship. En-
glnes were reversed quickly. Life buoys
were thrown out promptly and as the
vessel neared the spot where the four
seamen had been swept into the sea they
were seen floating on the buoys. The sea
was so violent, however. that three OF
them soon relinquished their hold and
ssniS ouareiii succeeded in grasping a
life line ana was hauled aboard
When attention was directed to the in
| jured It was found that two seamen-
FolXa and Roumien-and Pazetti. the
ships boy, had been badly hurt. Foixa !
spine was broken and he died two days
later The others were operated on and
probably will recover.

the trial of Gertrude Gibson Patterson,
charged with the murder of her husband,
Charles A. Patterson, was heard this
forenoon. Judge Allen then instructed
thejury and Special Prosecutor Horace q.
Benson began his closing argument for
the state.
In his Instructions Judge Allen gave an
exposition Of the laws defining murder in
the first and second degrees. and volun-
tary and involuntary manslaughter.
During the reading of the instructions,
Mrs. Patterson's face was waXen In it's
palor. This appearance deepened as
Prosecutor Benson laying stress on every
bit of testimony which he believed told
against the defendant in measured tones
addressed the jury.
Defendant shows Sign of strain.
When Mrs. Patterson entered the court
room her face was pale and deep circles
under the eyes gave, evidence of a sleep
less night.
Mrs. c. a. Jones. who testified yester-
day that she had witnessed an assault
by Patterson on his wife, was recalled by
the state and compelled to admit that
Jones was not really her husbands s name,
nor her own.
Mrs. Mary X. Patterson, mother of the
slain man, being recalled, testified that
she had paid all his expenses attendant
upon her sons illness, excepting those
for two weeks.
BensOn's Opening Address.
"A fool there was, and he made his
prayer (even as you and y;
To a rag and bone and hank of hair
We called her ohe women who did not
care;
But the fool, he called her his lady fair
and she shot him in the back" was the
way Attorney Benson opened his addi ess.
The prosecutor then took up the early
life of the defendant in an attempt to
convince, the jury that it was no uhso-
phisicated 1e-year-old child but an ex-
perienced woman, who won the devotion
of Emil w. Strouss in Chicago. Benson
declared that the evidence shows that
iGertrude Gibson was .21 or % years Of
age .Yhen she-imst sthe Chicago clothing
