BETTER PROTECTION
FOR EASTERN SUBURBS
Water Main Will Be Extended
to KeniIWorth When District
Appropriation Is Available.

An appropriation of $45, 100 will be
available July / for laying a water main
to Benning and kenilworth. and when
fire hydrants are installed i'm that Sec
ton, Chief Wagner declares, the suburbs
of the District of Columbia will be we'll
equipped with fire protection. Yester-
days fire in Kenilworth could have been
checked early, according to Chief Wag-
ner, if the engines had not been ham,
pered by lack of water.
a chemical engine is all right on
small blaze but with blaze like the one
Yesterday morning at KenilwOrth there
is only one thing to use and that is water.
and plenty of it. AS soon as We had
water from the pond through that 1000
feet of hose we put the fire out all
right.
The District appropriation act avail
able July / differs from one of the prin-
cipes of the Districts Waterman pol
icy in the past. in that the proposed line
to Benning and Kenilworth will be paid
for on the half-and-haf plan. Ordina-
rily the various sections are provided
for out of the receipts of the water de-
partmen:. 1t was easily seen, however.
that working on that principle a main
would not be built to Benning for many
years. Therefore the Commissioners In
sisted that it be placed i'll the bill as it
eventually appeared.
Another Scare at Kenilworth.
The people of Kenilworth had another
STARTER last night about IL 80 o'clock,
when the strong wind famed the ap-
parently dead embers of the fire of yes
terday mornings fire into fresh energy,
and a lively blaze sprang up. 1t was
feared that the high wind would spread
the flames and continue the disastrous
work of the first fire. Happily, firemen
reached the scene in time to prevent fur
Their damage. and the remaining residents
of the suburb were greatly relieved.
Victims of yesterday mornings fire
have had generous offers of assistance
from their neighbors.
Over q dozen houses in kenilwOrth have
most of the fires broke out early in the
morning. Last August a Sunday morn
ing fire destroyed three houses. John A.
Hebrew, jr., a victim of that fire, was
also q victim of the fire yesterday morn
ing. The families that were rendered
homeless yesterday morning were able to
find homes during the day.
Much of the property that was saved
was more or less damaged. Pianos and
organs were included in the salvage. All
of the saved property was put under
cover before night.

HORSETHlEVEsAT MIDDLETOWN
So Frequent Are These Thefts, The
Town is Gaining Notoriety

Middetown is becoming notorious
from it's frequent horsestealing which
seems to go on in some form or
another nearly every Saturday night.
Recently a bay mare and a buggy
were stolen from Mr.. Mike Carroll's 5
livery stable at the National Hotel
and driven away. The team was
found the next afternoon below Mil
Iington, Md, with a note in the
buggy giving the name of the owner.
A farmer near Millington said the
driver of the stolen team was a
colored man. The horse had been
very hard driven, both horse and
buggy being covered with mud.
Another night, the horse and buggy
of Isaiah Emory, of Middletown, was
stolen from before the colored church
in Odessa, and not recovered until
the next morning, when it was found
hitched in the Middetown Hotel
sheds. This poor horse had been
very badly mistreated, being scarcely
able to stand when found.

The attraction to horsemen yes

had until the Glass c Race was on

BULLET THROUGH HER WINDOW
Act of Unknown Miscreant Terrifies
Miss Salie Wise of Dover


The picking up of bullet within
a few inches of her bed, the missile
having been shot into her bedroom
through boards and plastering, re-
vealed to Miss Sale Wise, of Dover,
how closely she had escaped a possi-
bly, fatal wound. About two o'clock
Saturday morning, Miss Wise was
awakened and startled by the report
of a revolver and heard bullet whiz
into the room, having been shot from
the outside by some unknown party.
Miss Wise lives with her father and
sisters on North Bradford street,
just opposite the First Baptist
Church, in a new house which they
just built. All are at loss to know
where the bullet came from or why
it should have been shot at theil
house. The town officers are inves
tigating the case.

objected or the ground that there
should be no division of sentiment
in the matter, that the two pro-
posed routes should be put up be-
fore General DUPONT first and if the
wishes Of the Smyrna people were
desired, it would be time enough
then to take a ballot. The other
members of the Board agreed with
Mr.. Walls and no vote was taken.
The consensus of opinion was that
General Dupont should have the
largest say in the matter. 1t may
be that he will desire some other
route altogether. 1t is a known fact
that he asks for a roadway 200 feet
wide. 1t may be that he can use
the 100 feet wide Pearl street route
to advantage; it may be that he will
not consider anything less than 15C
feet in which case he might decide
to run the Boulevard even farthe'
west of Pearl street. At any even
the citizens of Smyrna will avail
with interest his visit here.

CRABS ARE BECOMING SCARCE
Reports From Underwater Districts
Show a Decrease Over Former Years

Reports From Underwater Districts
Show a Decrease Over Former Years
Reports from the tidewater
counties seem to bear out the state
ment made some time ago by Swep
son Earle, seer atary of the National
Shellfsh Commission, that the annual
catch of crabs is decreasing, due to
failure to give protection to the
female of the species, and to lack
of conservation Of the industry.
The United Sattes Bureau of Fish
cries recommended recently to MIR.
Earle the best way to protect the
crab from determination was: Pro-
hibit or restrict the taking of egg
bearing females during the late sum-
mer and early fall, say from August
to September /; prohibit or re-
strict the practice of catching doub-
lers and the sale of the soft shelled
females so obtained; regulate the
soft crab and crab meat industry al
such important points as Crisfeld,
Oxford, Hampton, Va. When it is
considered that the female crab
known as the sponge bearer, is cap
able of producing three million
young, and breed but once in Life
time, the Importance of protection
becomes apparent.

Side Show as Usual Attracts Big Crowd |
The side show as usual was the
most sought after attraction of the
Fair. This tent which was under
the management of Mrs. Alice Read
was up to the standard of former
performances and with an entirely
new bill of fine home talent. All of
the stars did their acting we'll, es-
pecially the drills, the singing,
dancing and monologues. The Harem
Girls Mrs Cummins E. S. Speak
man and Mrs. Charles Howell Le-
Fevre, were applauded at every
performance as was also the clever
parody by Tom Stayton and Bill Me-
gear, Jr. The numbers taken by
Miss Anna Wilson, Frank Walker,
Raymond Cumnins, and Mrs. Cover
dale and Miss Josephs were also
highly commented upon for their
originality. The program was
vaudeville throughout and was
as follows: First Performance
Coon stunt, song and dance; Japan
ese solo and chorus; Irish sketch ;
Boys song and dance. Second Per-
formance-Magazine Advertisements
Cream of Wheat, Old Dutch Cleans
er, Gold Dust Twins, Fairbanks
Fairy Soap. Third Performance
Military drill with chorus of ten !;
character song; Japanese speciality,
Irish sketch.
W. A. Ransom a Clever Magician
1t was with much pleasure that
! many witnessed the performance of
W. A. Ransom, of Railway, N. j., a
former Smyrna boy now one of the
} prominent officials of the Hartman
lines of New York. Mr.. Ransom
: delighted his former friends with his
exceedingly clever tricks and his
tent was one of the most popular Of
the Fair. His coming to Smyrna tC
= give such an entertainment was
: deeply appreciated and many linger
e ed to greet him by the hand.
Heavy Electric Storm Breaks up Grove
The Fair was at it's height yester
day afternoon when severe electric
storm passed over Smyrna and a
the first few hard claps of thunder
the crowd scattered. Many at tn,
time were watching baseball game
between Smyrna and Middletowl
& which stood 10 to in Smyrna
favor when the storm came up anC
. the rain soon drove everybody t
,. cover. The women of Smyrna wer,
- not to be disheartened over littl
l. thing like rain. They soon gathere
together and in a short space o
10 time, the boothes were rearranged
: the sideshow tent put in conditio
.s and everything was on in full bias
II again. This continued until nearl
, midnight. A big crowd gathere
! last evening, large Dover contir
"a gent being present.
, Over 100 People Paid Admission
ne Some idea of the crowd can
judged from the gate receipts ye
nd terday which amounted to over SIT
an advance of $50 or more over la
IA Fourth of July. While all the r
ceipts are not in, the managemel
nd expects to show a gain over yet
ne ago. The total receipts will pro-
ably figure upwards of over $1S

re as much as last Fourth of July.
