New Baggage Checks on the
Pennsy---Will Lessen Errors

A new baggage check, embodying a
number of unique features which are ex-
pected to lessen the number of errors and
complaints, has just been placed in SER
vice by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The duplicate portion of the new check
is provided with spaces in which are
printed number Of the principal ''bad
order conditions in which baggage is
frequently received for checking. A
check, on being delived to a passenger,
will be perforated to show whether the
piece of baggage is a trunk, suit ease
or valise, fibre ease, or tool chest. An
other perforation will show the condi-
ton in which it was received whether
the bottom, side, top or end is broken,
lock or handle broken, hinges loose, old
or worn or whether the piece Of bag
gage is open. In this way the duplicate
check will contain full description Of
the condition of the baggage when re-
ceived for shipment.
The number on the tag portion of the
check is placed at the bottom, while on
the duplicate portion it is printed at the
top, so that the two can be readily match
ed when making delivery of baggage.
1t is expected that with the use of this
new form of check the liability of mis-
matching numbers will be minimized, the
delivery of baggage expedited, and the
number of claims greatly reduced.

The students of Delaware College held
their first athletic association meeting
last Wednesday afternoon in the Oratory.
The object Of the meeting was to elect
an athletic association reporter, whose
duties would be to see that the result Of
each game in which Delaware takes part
are sent to the papers correctly. Here
tofore many of the games were not even
reported to the different papers; hence
to avoid this an athletic association re-
porter was decided upon. He is to be
a member of the athletic association
and must accompany teams on all trips
This reporter will have charge of all of
fetal news of the college. After quite
a lengthy discussion it was decided to
have the reporter appointed by com
mittee. Jolls, president of the athletic
association named the following men to
appoint the reporter: Jolls, chairman,
Beck, Shallcross, Schlitter, McNeal and

Will MEET
this MONTH
To ORGANIZE
REGULAR ANNUAL Meeting
Beard of Trade to Meet Lat
ter Part of Month

Postponement of the regular an
nual meeting of the Board of Trade
has been announced by Secretary
Clarence J. White, who has fixed no
definite date for the calling of the
meeting, but who has made known
that it will not likely be called until
about March 26
The year has been right unusual
one in trade circles, and it has been
thought best to postpone the meeting
until later in the month until after
the municipal election has been con-
cluded. 1t is thought that this will
prove more acceptable to all concern
ed, as it will allow more time for the
work in hand.
Mr.. White said yesterday that he is
now engaged in trying to get the n
nances of the board in shape so that
they might be free from Indebtedness
when the new officers are inaugural
ed. The Board of Trade now is in
debt to a considerable extent on ac-
count of heavy expenditures last
year for advertising and other pur-
poses. This is the debt that now faces
the organization and which must be
wiped out.
Tuesday, March 26, will likely be
the date for the annual meeting, al
though it has not yet been settled up
on. AS soon as this meeting is held,
it is hoped that the organization can
get down to business for the year and
do the best work this year that has
ever been accomplished for the city

"SAVOY" The name
OF new THEATRE
MRS. CROXTON The WINNER
Contest Was Close For First
Prize

Counting of the ballots yesterday
in the contest for the winner of the
prize in the naming of the new pho
to-play house showed that Mrs L. l..
Croxtons suggestion of "The Savoy"
lead by margin of 21 votes over Miss
Melva Clarke, who came second with
5000 votes credited to her. Mrs. Crox-
toms total number of votes was 3,051
Third in the race was Mrs. T. H. Bar
ron, with 1858 IL, and the fourth
contestant, Miss Mark Hawkins, whose
suggestion received 1929 IL votes.
In the future the new play house
will be known as "The Savoy" and it
is so advertised in this mornings is
sue of The Times-Recorder. More than
six separate and distinct counts were
made of the ballots before the task
was completed. This was done in or
der that there might be absolute GER
tainty as to who the winner was and
as to exactly how many votes were
cast for each contestant The last
three or four counts did not vary at
all when the ballots were counted by
three disinterested parties, so that il
was certain that the count was abso-
lutely correct Each count was veri-
fed by Mr.. Frank T. Long, of The
Times Recorder STAFF.
Daily, The Savoy is being patronized
largely by the very best people of the
city who have shown and are con
tinuing to show in substantial wa,
their appreciation of the very higt
class of clean and entertaining films
that are being shown there. Ever!
effort will be made by the management
to maintain this high standard ant
to make it even better.

7. R. LEADERS
ARE NOW VERY
MUCH At SEA
TAFT PARTY STAYS SOLID
Roosevelt Had Expected q
Great Detection

Washington, D. c., March lit is
plain that Roosevelt hackers in Wash
ington are disappointed at the way the
colonel's campaign is going. They ad
nit privately that there has not been
the response from the leaders, nor
from the rank and file that had been
expected. 1t is said that the colonel
and his immediate friends believed
that his announcement of his candi-
dacy would be quickly followed by the
designations of two and possibly three
members of the cabinet, Secretary of
the Navy Meyer, Secretary of War
Stimson, and, perhaps, Postmaster
General Hitchcock. But there have
been no designations of cabinet men,
bers to rush to the support of Roose
| velt.
Senator Lodge, moreover, was count
ed on to take active charge of the
Roosevelt cause in New England. But
he has done nothing of the kind, and
has announced that he will take no
part in the pre-convention campaign.
All these disappointments of Roose-
velt and his intimates are imputed to
the radical character of the colonels
Columbus speech Senator Lodge has
said expressly that the doctrines enun-
ciated by his old friend at Columbus
compelled him to lie dormant in the
campaign.
More than this. Colonel Roosevelt's s
treatment of Senator LaFollette has so
angered the devoted followers of the
Wisconsin senator that they refuse to
flock to him. In three, and, perhaps
four states, Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota and Oregon, they have
gone into the fight with new vim to
hold their following in line for he
Wisconsin leader. In California, too.
the LaFollette men are refusing to
follow the lead of Governor Johnson
into the Roosevelt camp. 1t is thus
apparent that in practically every sec
ton of the country the expected
Roosevelt prairie fire is smouldering
smokily, instead of sweeping every
thing before it.

Sumter is soon to be put in the
orange belt. Sumter county oranges,
in coming years, are to be a feature
of the fruit shipments from Americus
Now do not smile at this assertion.
1t is true you may never have seen
an orange tree growing in Sumter
county, outside of hot house. But
that is no reason why you may not
seen them growing here, growing in
orchards of thousands of trees.
There are oranges, and then there
are oranges.
Some varieties, it is true, would not
thrive and flourish, perhaps not even
live, in Sumter county. The oranges
that are grown down on the Indian
river, in Florida, for instance, could
hardly be expected to become COM
mercial possibility here. Neither
could the oranges that do so we'll i'll
Southern California. But there are
other varieties, and it is one of these
that is expected to make a place foT
Sumter county among the orange
growing sections of the land.
The Satsuma is the orange that has
been selected to grow around Ameri-
Gus. It has been shown in Japan and
other sections that it will stand a
drop in temperature to below zero. 1t
has been grown as far north as Beau
fort, North Carolina. 1t has seen ice
all over its branches, and yet no.
failed to produce a crop. And what

TIME FOR ENTRY OF CANDIDATES
IN COUNTY PRIMARY HAS CLOSED
Five County Officers Have No Opposition There viii Be Renewed Interest in the
Races For the Various Positions NOW-Ten More DAYS Of Campaigning

IN accordance with the provisio
-,,odo nv the County Executive com
,,;ttao the time for the entry of can
,;dotos and the paying of the fees re-
,,irad of each candidate by the COM
,,ittee expired last night as midnight.
There was no change in the list as
# has existed for several weeks, 50
that the time limit closed without any
,,aventh-hour entries of any kind,
There was no sensation uncorked as
tho time expired, and the same county
officials who have been unopposed for
some time past remain so.
There are five of the county Off
oials whose countenances are wreath
Al in smiles today, as no candidate has
entered the field against any of them.
These are Captain John A. Cobb, ordi-
nary; Clerk H. E. Allen, of the Supe-
rior and City courts; Tax Receiver
John T. Howell; Coroner Ed Jenkins
and County Surveyor R. R. Howe.
The fact that only five of the county
officials will face the day of the pri-
mary without any opponent to dispute
their right to reelection shows how
warm the contest has been and how
much interest has been felt in it gen
orally The positions of judge of the
City court, as we'll as that of solicitor
of that court, will both be hotly con-
tested for by rival candidates. The
county commissioners race is also a
warm number on the political pro-
gram. so that interest will not flag in
the least until the final battle of the
ballot decides the fate of each candi-
ate
