CAUGHT AFTER
 SENSATIONAL
 CHASE ON ICE
Youth Who AssaultedBride Mar IOwly Escapes Lynch
 ing
Special from United Press)

Delmar, Del, Jan- 15-Weu armed policemen stand guard. today. over the little jail here in which is held George Linton. 20, against whom a charge of criminal assault has been entered. Their presence alone has kept the youth from being lynched. No crime in years has so aroused the residents of this section. His victim, Mrs. J. T. Weaver, is in a critical condition.
 Linton,s arrest followed a thrilling chase far out over the ice fields. A storm of hail and sleet had obliter> ateG all traces of the mans flight and four bloodhounds conld not take up the scent. Detective Branch, how ever, headed a posse with ice skates and scooter boats and proceeding by sense of direction alone, finally over hauled the fugitive skating as fast as he could toward the shore.
 For more than an hour, the fugitive fie surrendered. For two hours, there on the ice, an animated discussion fol- lowed as to whether Linton should be turned over to the authorities or lynched Older residents pleaded against lynching and finally prevail ed
 The feeling is most bitter as Mrs. Weaver is a young bride of only a few months and was assaulted while her husband was absent at the oyster fields It was stated. today, however. that she will probably recover.

 The White House officially refused to discuss the government ownership plan, but it was made plain that Hitchcock was expressing only his personal opinion when he declared for such plan President Taft is under stood to be greatly vexed at the post master generals statement, more par tfcularly because it gave the impress sion that the Taft administration was in favor of the plan.
 Representative Victor L. Berger, the Wisconsin Socialist, Said-
