The c-ommendable work Of Rev. o.

dren, The revival referred to is not
the Billy Sunday campaign just over
but the revival conducted for ten
days here by Rev. Mr.. McCracken at
Glad Tidings mission, during which
there were twenty-five souls saved.
The Messenger comments: Brother
McCracken is one of the hardest
working men we have ever met. He
goes day n night, preaching and
praying with the people and looking
after the poor and outcast of the city.
He has a great grip on the hearts
of the people and is doing a good
work of God and humanity. His
work is worthy Of support. He and
his good wife entertained us and we
never have had more kind treatment
than was shown us by them and their
household. May God bless them.

ing for the evangelist $S5 was cheer
fully given.

ITO show the interest eople are
taking in Glad Tidings mission and
our work in the city and on Front

a Forum representative today, was
seen by n who was especially inter-
ested and sacrificed the buying of an
automobile and gave $500 to the build

effective work done than preventive
and constructive work among the moor
and those who have to battle hard

SHERIFF
GETS ORDERS
TO ROUT GYPSTES

Clerk OF the Peace Harry A Brown
has directed Sheriff Logue to enforce
the law regarding a band of gypsies
located north of Claymont The band
encamped there a few days ago and
since that time reports of fights with
colored people and attempts to COM
pei other people to have their for
tunes told have been received. Com
plant was lodged with Clerk of the
Peace Brown last night regarding the
gypsies and Mr. Brown accordingly
issued an order to Sheriff Logue I'M
der an act passed at the last Legis-
lature.
The law reads in part as follows.
Section THAT It shall be unlaw-
full for any rowing band of Nomads,
commonly called Gypsies, to pitch or
settle their encampment or carry on
their transactions, OF practice their
craft. within the state without first
obtaining from one Of the Clerks of
the Peace Of this State an annual IL
cense, for which they shall pay to
the Clerk of the Peace, for the use
OF The State, the sum OF three hum
bred dollars.
Section provides that when com
plant is lodged with the Clerk OF
the Peace he shall find out II the
band has a license. Then. upon find
ing no license has been taken out he
shall issue an order to the Sheriff tc
seize on the bands property which
when sold would pay the 5000 license
and the costs.
Several bands OF gypsies have pass
ed through the State but so are no H.
cense has been taken out by any o.
them. The authorities have been sat
isfed when the gypsies pulled stakes
and left the State. Accordingly thu
constitutionality of the gypsy law hai
never been tested since It went int
/ effect
! Sheriff Logue and number OF de
puties went to the site of the cam
this afternoon. In all probability tn
gypsies will be given a chance Z
cross the State line and If they re
fuse to do so Sheriff Logue will SELF
the property of the band.

Following the receipt in Wilmington
last night Of news that Elkton, Md,

practice Of the fire companies leaving
the city to give outside assistance.
Some Of them think that as the fire
companies were under contract to the

should be had from at least one of the
members of the FIRE committee Of
Coucil before any companies are al
lowed TO go out of the city No oppo-
sition to give outside assistance was
expressed by the Coucilmen but 1t oc-
Cured to them that the fire committee
OF Council SHOULD have some say and
that the matter should not be left en-

JUDGE DIDN'T
WANTTOSEND MAN
TO JAIL FOR So

Declaring that he knew it was vi
olation of the law, but the amount
involved was too small to justify
sending a man 10 Jail, Judge Coch-
ran In City Court today held up the
charge of uttering a worthless check
against John Callahan until Saturday
in order that Callahan can pay the
Delware Hardware Company SO, the
amount of the check. Callahan was
allowed to go on his own recogni-
zance. When the case was called he
was removed from the prisoners
dock and placed on a chair before the
bench, by Judge Cochran's orders.
Howell S. England represented Cal
lahan and asked for a continuance
until Saturday. Judge Cochran said
he would like to dispose of il sooner
as he did not want Callahan to stay
in a cell that long. Assistant City
Solicitor Lynn informed the court
that the witnesses could be heard in a
short time Judge Cochran said II
the amount was not large he would
let Callahan go on his own recogni-
zance.
The first witness was the cashier Of
the Hardware Company, who stated
that Callahan presented a check for
SO. saying Mr.. Mode, a-member of the
firm. told him to do so. The young
woman said she gave him the money
and later the check was refused at the
bank. George H. Spachman, treasurer
of the Company, told of taking the
check to the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company and the banks re-
fusaI 10 honor the check
Norman ID. Ellison, a bookkeeper OF
the Security Trust Company, testihec
/ that Callahan never had an account
there. Callahan's attorney objected
saving the book of entry was the besi
evidence This opinion was shared by
/ Judge Cochran. who said: The wit
ness don't know what he is talking
about | believe Callahan gave check
on that company for work did foi
him. | don't care what the witness
says. | know"
In holding up the charge Judg'
1 Cochran stated that the amount wal
not large enough to break any one
and while It was a violation OF TN
law and Callahan had been "coins
bad for some time, he was not goinl
to crowd" him for that amount.
Assistant City Solicitor Lynn cite'
a case where a man was released
some time ago on a similar charg'
and is now under bail on more seri
Gus charge.
Officials of the Security Trust ant

Judge Cochran's statement. made
