Breaking Into Sussex Home

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
GEORGETOWN, Del, Feb, pa
While 15-year-old Addie West, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph West, was
alone in her parents home on the
outskirts of town last evening. negro
forced himself into the house and
after threatening to kill the child with
a revolver if she made an outcry,
attempted TO feloniously assault her.
The negro escaped but state Detective
Walls is working on a clue today that
may lead 10 an arrest. The child is
suffering much as result Of her aw-
full experience.
Addie was writing a letter at the
time the negro attacked her. Mrs.
West. the mother. had gone 70 a
neighboring store and when she re-
turned she found her child overcome
on the floor with a floor mat covering
her head. Addie told her mother that
the negro at first threatened to shoot
her if she made an outcry and then
knocked her TO the floor with a chair,
after which he held the floor mat over
her head to stifie her cries. The child
was close to Inconsistencies when
the mother found her.
Upon learning OF the attack Deputy
Sheriff Hudson, Constable Jester and
State Senator Blackstone made
search of the neighborhood in hopes
of finding the girls assailant, but
were unsuccessful. Detective Walls
took up the hunt today. He has the
girls description of her assailant and
hopes to get the fellow soon.
All Georgetown is much excited
over the assault.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-"Fightn
was the watchword Of railroad repre-
sentatives here today following their
crushing defeat in the great rate bat
tie at the hands Of the Interstate Com
merc5 Commission, yesterday. They
will fight, they declared, as long as
there is possibility Of appeal.
They hope the decision Of the Com
mission preventing them from ili-
creasing rates on a single commodity
will be reversed by a higher body. but
at the least, they said, they Will in
woke the law with such effect that
rate reductions will be postponed per-
haps for several years.
The first move probably will be taken
within the next few days, when the
railroads viii apply to the new Com
merce Court for an injunction nulli-
flying the decisions. This appeal will
unquestionahly be made before March
10, when the Commission declared,
that unless new and lower schedules
have been filed, it will fix rates for
two years.
Whether the Commerce Court will
grant the Injunction practically tying
the hands Of the Commission, IS a
question on which authorities radical

IF the Commerce Court fails u.s.
declared the railroad attorneys. eve
Will carry the case TO the Supreme
Court of the United States. There
we will apply for an Injunction

NEWARK KEEPS
UP The FIGHT
Lease Of Utilities Plant TO be
Discussed at Town Meet
ing Tonight
BOTH SIDES TO
PRESENT The CASE

Another meeting to discuss the
leasing of the water and light plants
at Newark to a private company will
be held tonight at the home of Jacob
Thomas OF Newark. It viii be q meet
ing at which both the members OF
Council and the citizens will be pres
ent and a warm discussion is expect
ed.
w. G. Curtis, a we'll known resident
of Newark today denied the statement
made in yesterdays issue Of The
Evening Journal by ]. II. Wright
president of the City Council OF New
ark, in which the latter stated that be-
fore the lease was made, it was prac-
tically the unanimous opinion of all
the citizens Of Newark that the Coun-
Gil shold dispose of by sale or lease,
both the light and water plants.
Mr.. Curtis said that the people were
opposed to either the sale or lease of
the plants and so placed themselves on
record five years ago when they took a
vote on the question. At that time the
vote was almost unanimous against
the sale or lease Of the propertd he
said.
Joseph Dean, another town resident,
said the statement WAS very lame"
