School For Apprentices

There has just been established
by the Southern Pacific Company
in it's Oakland, California yards,
a school for the education of ap
prentice machinists in the mecha-
nical class. For more than a
week the school has been in full
operation under the supervision
of special instructor. 1t is
similar to other institutions
at different points along the
Southern Pacific lines. The tools
are furnished free and the young
men are made to feel absolutely
at home, and are offered an op-
portunity to learn trade in a
thoroughly scientific manner.
A special building has been
erected in the Oakland yards,
fitted with desks blackboards,
and library is maintained and
operated in conjunction with the
library for employees in the Flood
building in San Francisco. Ar
rangments have been made to
give regular and systematic ms
truction to all apprentices A
similar building is located at
Sparks, Nevada where evening
classes are held under the direct
supervision of one of the profess
sors in the University of Nevada.
The plan is to give apprentices
instruction as to the practices in
the shops and in theory in the
school room. The Southern Pa
cifc Company is the only railroad
corporation west of the Missouri
river that makes such provisions
for it's apprentices.

Chief Justice Gives Advice TO
FELTON, High School Graduates

special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, May 26-Chief Justice
Pennewiu delivered the address at the
FELTON, High School commencement
last night, when great crowd Of
country and townspeople assembled in
the open air on the High School
campus. All the public school chill
dren occupied places in front of the
stage on long wooden benches, and
the electric lights. evergreen and
floral decorations and tributes gave
the place a touch of fairyland beauty.
"The mastery over books is well,
but the mastery over the will is the
great triumph of life" said the Chief
Justice in referring to the victories to
be attained in life by the subsection
of human passions, unkind words and
hot temper.
Continuing, the Chief Justice said;
"The call for the man of character
is all the more clear from the short
ccmings of others. Men Of great re-
sponsible positions, upon whose in
tegrity and honor thousands of peo-
pie have relied, falter and fall in the
exercise Of their sworn duty, but this
is no admission that there are not
men who could stand four-square 10
duty whether in high or low posi-
ton"
The graduates were Messrs. Heyd
and Herring and Misses Sipple, Scha-
binger and Hodgson, each OF whom
made an address.
A feature of the evening was two
violin solos by A. Victor Lightbourne,
of Dover, which won vigorous APP

the other a "Bolero."

INQUIRE ABOUT
RURAL POLICE
Some Residents Of Brandy
wine Hundred Wonder Why
Men are Not Named

Some residents of Christiana hun
dred are wondering when the Levy
Court will elect rural policemen for
Brandywine and Christiana hundreds.
The recent Legislature passed a bill
introduced by Senator Ewing provid-
ing for two rural policemen for Bran
dywine hundred and a similar num-
ber for Christiana hundred.
The law provides that the Levy
Court shall appoint these policemen
by May 10, prescribe their duties, fix
their salaries and make other regu-
lations for them. No action has been
taken by the Levy Court to provide
the rural policemen, and some resi-
dents of Brandywine hundred today
were inquiring why the law had not
been complied with II was said To-
day the Levy Courtmen are waiting
for the new fiscal year before appoint
ing the policemen, as no financial pro-
vision had been made for them in the
present budget.

DIAMOND THIEF
A PROFESSIONAL
Fellow Who Got Davis Gem
Worked in Lancaster
Previously

It was learned today that the thief
who stole a $4S5 diamond from the
iewelry store of Millard F. Davis, at
Tenth and Market streets, on Wednes-
day. is a professional crook, going
from one city to the other, operating
among the biggest stores. Before
coming here the man visited Lancas-
ter. Pa, and while there secured a
diamond valued at $3.50 from the
jewelry firm of L. Webber and Son,
leaving a stone valued at 800 in its
place. He pursued the same method
there as here, simply exchanging rings
while looking over a tray Of stones
with the evident purpose of making a
purchase.
Mr.. Davis was called by telephone
by a member of the Webber firm to-
day and exchanging descriptions of
the man who had robbed them they
came to the conclusion that the fell
low was the same thief.
The man who visited the Davis
store here probably left the city
shortly after he committed the theft
The police were thrown Off the track
for a short time by information given
to them that the man was in an auto
mobile. He covered up his tracks
completely.
