GOODWIN MAY GET
HIS FREEDOM NOW
If Physicians Testify That
Further Confinement Will
Impair His Health

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, April Much inter-
est is being taken here in the applica-
ton for a pardon for John Goodwin,
who has served one year and one
month of a two-year sentence for at
tempted bribery. The Board of Par
dons will meet again on Thursday next
TO hear the verbal testimony of DR..
Samuel c. RumfOrd and DR.. Joseph p.
Pyle Of Wilmington, who will be sum-
moned to appear then. In their written
statement to the Board yesterday the
physicians set forth that Goodwin Is
suffering with a tubercular gland in
the neck, and that If given his freedom
to live a natural outdoor life he could
be restored to health, but if he is con-
tinued in confinement il is doubtful
whether he could regain his health.
II is said there was some division in
the Board yesterday, some Of the men,
bers desiring to act finally on the ap-
plication then and others wishing TO
hear the verbal testimony of the ply
sicians. Unless additional statements
from the physicians disqualify their
statements in the letter read yesterday.
an impression prevails that Goodwin
may be given his freedom by the
Board.

ATTORNEYS WILL ARGUE
NEW QUESTION TOMORROW

Chief Justice Pennewill in the
Court of Chancery today handed down
a decision I'm the Newark water and

tion mandatory in character to pre-
vent the lease and operation of the
light and water plant was refused
and tomorrow morning argument will
be heard by Chief Justice Pennewill

Certain residents Of Newark seek
In the pending case to set aside the
lease by the Town Council of the
town light and water plant to a com
pany chartered at Dover and 10
which the plant has been leased The
complainants in Chancery allege that
there is no legal authority to sane
ton the lease and therefore they ask
ed for an injuction 10 prevent the
lease being carried into effect.
Chief Justice Pennewill reviewed
the averments in the hill fled by the
residents opposed 10 the case and
said no injury to the subject Of the
controversy was averred. the main
contention being that the lease OF the
Newark Council 10 the Newark Water
Electric Company was Illegal and
void. This question could not be
considered at this time. but after a
full hearing. the Chief Justice said.
While no application has been
made for the appointment Of re-
ceiver yet Il is clear that the Chan
cellor is authorized on his own motion
TO appoint a receiver to manage tho
plants and protect the taxpayers IN

In his behalf
Much interest is taken among Dem-
ocrats IN the statement OF Peter J.
Ford that he is not advocating Robert
Pennington or any other candidate for
Mayor AZ the Democratic primaries. I'M
some quarters an impression had got
ten around that Mr. Ford Is backing
Mr.. Pennington for Mayor against the
second term nomination of Mayor r.
Harvey Spruance. but Mr.. Ford in his
statement corrects this impression and
he says he Is not back Of anybody.
There was some talk today that a
well-known Democrat would soon be
brought out for Mayor, making a threes
cornered fight.
Another interesting morsel Of gos4
sip IN Democratic circles Is that John

leadership for Street and Sewer Di-

denomination Of Mayor Spruance. Mr..

Somehow a feeling exists that the
approaching Democratic primaries will
develop into a hot contest beween Mr..
Ford and Mr.. Murphy for the city lead

a potent factor In the Democratic city
organization. but he and Mayor Spru-
ance did not seem to "hit Il right po-
ntically over the Street and Sewer Di-

the Newport factories came 10 her

how much interest there was among

withdrawn. The Governor did not in
dicate 10 the delegation what he
would do. He has until April 80 TO

DEFICIT MAY

City Auditor Sends Council
Statement Showing Finan-
CiaI Condition Of City
MAY DISCUSS SUBJECT
NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT

According to a statement sent to
City Council last night by City Audi
tor John d. Kurtz under date of April
9, the city is facing q deficit Of an
proximately 100000. The statement
was not read at the meeting Of Coun-
Gil last night, but as that body ad-
journed to meet again next Wednes-
day night It may be that the audi
tors communication will be read at
that time.
The auditor estimates the receipts
for the remaining three months of the
fiscal year at s63,5O0. which, together
with the balance In bank on the first
of the present month, amounting to
S40,502.02, makes the total S104. .O02 O2.
Against this the expenditures total
S248,265.7S. This sum. however, in
cludes Water Department bonds
amounting to $4,000 due May and
June 1. These bonds were refunded
last year and it Is altogether likely
that similar action will be taken this
year, which will cut down the indi-
Gated deficit to approximately $780,
600. It may be that the receipts will
be more than those estimated by the
auditor. but it is not expected that
they will go much higher. The audi
tors statement follows:

mate Of receipts and expenditures for
