GOVERNOR SIGNS MARRIAGELAw
Numerous Changes Are Made tc
Abolish the Gretna Green

Numerous Changes Are Made to
Abolish the Gretna Green
Governor Pennewill signed the
new marriage law, hereafter re-
stricting and regulating marriages
in Delaware so that Wilmington
will have to lose her reputation as
Gretna Green. The bill provides
for consent of parents, either in
person or by certificates. 1t provides
for a duplicate certificate, one of
which is retained by the parties and
the other by the clergyman to be
recorded at once on county records.
The new marriage law seems to be
a dangerous obstacle for the unwary
or careless, and the author of the
bill appears to have left no nn-
burned bridges behind, for he says
in Section 9:
"In the event that any section of
this Act or part thereof shall be
held to be unlawful by the court of
competent jurisdiction, such adiudi-
cation shall not affect the other por-
tions of this Act" All through
the bill nearly every paragraph pro,
vides fine or Imprisonment, and
the paragraph following the section
providing that applicants must be
examined under oath by the official
to whom they apply for license,
holds them strictly accountable under
the States severe perjury laws.
saying "And shall, upon conviction
thereof, be subject to the penalties
for perjury by the laws of this
State"
Fine or Imprisonment is provided
for both paries to a marriage which
may have been solemnized outside O.
this State if "the parties theret,
live and cohabit as husband and wifi
within the State.'' This has ref
erence however only to intermar
riages of relatives and of whites AM
blacks. 1t will put in the crimina
class all whites who cohabit wit
blacks. For falsely solemnizing
marriage ceremony, $100 or thirt
days is the penalty. If the male b
under 21 and the woman under 1s
the Justice or clerk of the peace VIII
shall issue them license, or if h
shall Issue one to an intoxicated @
insane person, will get $100 or thirt
days in the way of sentence. Cor
sent of parent or guardian, however

Auti-Lease Faction Win BY a Big
MajoritY-Joe Hossinger, President
With the issue at stake for or
against leasing the electric light and
water plants, which question has
caused more excitement in Newark
than any previous question, the town
election there last week was marked
by the biggest vote ever cast on a
similar occasion. The Citizens
ticket won by big majority. The
candidates of this ticket oppose the
leasing of the plant. There were five
members of the town council elected,
and they are all opposed. The two
hold-over members are said to favor
the lease. Those elected on the
Citizens ticket, and who are opposed
to the lease, are: Joseph H. Hos
singer, president of council; E Cliff
ford Wilson, western district; Eber
B. Frazer, middle district; JOSEPH
B. Luton and Robert j. Morrison
eastern district. Messrs. Morrison
and Luton each received 80 votes
as against 20 each for Howard Leak
a member of the present council,
and Frank M. Smith, the only tw,
candidates being regarded as favor
ing the lease. In the middle dis
trict. Eben B. Frazer, who was un
opposed, received 80 votes, and il
the western discrict e. Clifford Will
son, also unopposed, received IL
votes. For president of council
Joseph H. Hossinger, who was ur
opposed, received a total of 313.

PLANS FOR A MAMMOTH
NEW CASTLE COUNTY FAIR
EARLY INDICATIONS POINT TO
MOST STUPENDOUS OF ANY
Plans For the Exhibitions at Com
ing Fair in Wilmington With
Many New Attractions

While rain marred the 1910 ex-
hibition of the New Castle County
Fair Association, held at Gentle
mems Driving Park, Wilmington,
last fall, the former exhibitors and
members of the association have
joined forces and are determined to
make the 1911 fair the biggest event
ever known in Delaware. A gene
raj change in the grounds will be
made. The women's department
will be housed in the club house,
thus insuring perfect protection in
the event of storm. The porches
will be screened and the two rooms
which comprise the club quarters
will be attractively fitted up for the
display of the women's exhibits.
Already 180 feet of space in the
farm machinery section have been
reserved, the largest reservation
ever known. This will doubtless be
a record breaker. The horse de-
partmentA will be enlarged. Box
stalls will be built from Pennsyl-
vania avenue around the east fence.
These stalls will be used for the
heavy draft horses. Particular
effort is being made to make this
section an unusually interesting one.
One of the large dealers and breed
ers from Pennsylvania will be there
with very large showing such as
has never been seen in this State.
This section was an enormous at
traction last year, but this will be
the greatest showing ever known.
The entertainment of visitors has
been we'll provided for, three splen-
did attractions having been booked
-"Poler," the man up a pole,
climbs a perfectly straight p ole
sixty feet high and two and one half
inches in diameter at the top. On
this small space he performs all
sorts of tricks, every one being a
thriller. The Hehklvis have also
been engaged. These two people,
a man and woman, do some wonder
full diving from high platforms. max
ing their last dive each day through
a burning hoop, with their clothing
all on fire and into huge tank of
flame. There never has been any
thing quite so spectacular as this in
the State. Trained seals have also
been engaged for the amusement of
the children. These animals will
give a performance each day in
front of the grand stand, and dur
ing the day they will be Gagged in
large wire cage. which will be open
on all sides in order to give the
visitors an opportunity to see their
quaint antics and their daily play.
Premium lists will be ready about
May 1st, and the secretary will be
glad to mail one to any address upon
request. The fair this year will be
held August 29th, 30th and 31st,
and September 1st.

JACK GOODWIN GIVEN HIS
PARDON AND RELEASED
NOTORIOUS REPUBLICAN WORK
Err HAS TUBERCULOSIS
So Declares Expert Testimony Before
State Pardon Board and Governor
Penewill Grants Pardon


"Jack" Goodwin, the notorious
machine Republican worker, who
has served thirteen months of two
year term in the New Castle county
workhouse at Greenbank for at
tempted bribery, walked from the
penal institution Thursday night and
machine politicians are jubilant.
One hour after the Delaware board
of pardons had recommended to Gov
ernor Pennewill the pardon for God
win, who is suffering from tuber-
cular gland, the governor had signed
it. Harry P. Joslyn, Goodwin g
counsel, took the first train for Will
mington and hurried to the work.
house in an automobile accompanied
by Gregg Goodwin, brother of the
pardoned man, and Street Commits
sioner Frank W. Pierson. Goodwin
was released at 8.15 o'clock and
was taken in the automobile to the
home OF his brother at 813 West
street, where he greeted the mem
bers of his family. Goodwin says he
is done with Delaware politics and
will leave the state. He will first
undergo an operation by specialist
to have the tubercular gland re-
moved from his neck, after which he
will re-enter the employ of A. N.
Craig, New York contractor. This
was the seventh attempt to secure
a pardon for Goodwin, who was con-
victed of offering Philip Oliver $10
to vote for Governor Pennewill and
Frank Hall Davis for attorney gen.
eral at the State election in 1908.
The State insisted to the last on a
parole or Communication of sentence
and not an unconditional pardon.
However, he was voted full pardon
by the State Board of Pardons. The
constitutional requirement for a
majority" vote of the board was
reached, and, while none of the
members would communicate as to
how the vote stood, it is rumored
that three of the five members voted
for pardon and the remaining two
for parole. The action was taken
by a full board and was Immediately
put up to Governor Pennewill who
was at the State House. The vote
to pardon was taken after a full
hearing at which expert testimony
concerning tuberculosis was divulged
from four of the States well-known
and experienced practising physi-
-cians-Doctors Joseph P. Pyle, H.
W. Briggs, G. W. Forrest and j..
W. Bastian. Each physician testi-
fed that they had examined Goodwin
and that he had tubercular gland
in the neck. Doctors Briggs anc
Bastian, who had seen Goodwin some
time after DR.. Pyle, testified to ar
enlargement of the gland and the
general danger of its bursting ol
distributing the germs of tuberculo
sis through the man s entire system
The doctors were closely questioned
by j. o. Wolcott, deputy State pros
ecutor. who showed from medica
authorities similarity in this glant
swelling to lymphsdenitis, and evel
to swelling from an affected tooth
but the physicians counteracted hi
written authority and all four testi
fled that the tubercular test was
failure.
