Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, April 4.-The Board
Of PardOns today had trouble over the
Charles p. Wright case. Wright was
sentenced in the Kent county court
on four indictments for perjury and
robbery, to 20 lashes at the whipping
post. OF these, 40 were given him at
the Greenbank Workhouse last Feb
ruary. The other 30 were TO have
been given two weeks later. but Gov
ernor Pennewill RENTED the remain
ing lashes, pending action by tho
Board Of Pardons
Wrights case came up before the
Board I'm a letter written by the two
/ judges who tried his case. Judge VIII
liam II. Boyce and Judge Henry C..
Conrad. The letter stated that the
number of lashes might be deemed
brutal and unnecessary In the eyes OF
the law. although the sentence was
mandatory by the statutes.
State Auditor Townsend objected
strenuously TO any modification Of the
sentence. He declared the Board Of
Pardons had certain rules. He said
that one rule was that Attorney Gem
eral Gray should be notified; and that
the judges. even though they were
judges. should not be considered in
any different light than other appli.
cants when clemehcy is sought. He
declared the case should have ten
days notice before the Attorney Gem
eral before going TO the boa~i
Chancellor Curtis interrupted Mr.
Townsend 10 say that an appeal from
the court which sentenced man. es-
pecially in a case of corporal punish
ment. was sufficient with him. The
argument grew heated State Auditor
Townsend took his hat and coat and
withdrew. He was called back and
told that Attorney General Gray would
be at once communicated with. With
this promise he agreed TO meet again
with the board at a meeting called for

There is little doubt among Dover
people but that Wrights remaining

the remark made by one of the Off

The messages are an impassioned
appeal to somebody or other TO utter

friends to do so. 1t is not so much of
a request as a command If the per-
son addressed does not write TO nine
of his acquaintances the chain may

MANY PERSONS HOPE
ROAD NAY BE BUILT

Following the definite announce
mcnt OF General 4. Coleman DUPONT
that he has suspended operations on
the Boulevard pending the opinion
OF the State judges on the constitu-
tionality Of the Boulevard Law, and
also until the people say that they
want the Boulevard everything seem
ed TO be az standstill I'm the Boule-
ward situation.
The judges are expected to hold
conference tomorrow to consider
the letter of Governor Ponnewill re-
quosting them to give an opinion as
10 whether or not the Boulevard Cor
porations Law ish constitutional. Two
Of the judges are holding court in
Georgetown, and IL may not be con-
venient for them 20 join in a con-
feronces with the others tomorrow. At
any rate. the judges will hold their
conference at the earliest convenient
date if at the last minute IL is found
inconvenient for them to get together
tomorrow
General DUPONT was at his Office this
morning but had no statement TO
make TO supplement his announce
ment In THE EVENING JOURNAL
yesterday that whether the boulevard
will be built depends upon the opin-
ion OF the court and the attitude Of the
people. He went down the state this
morning to look after some details in
connection with the abandonment OF
boulevard operations.
On all sides expressions are heard
that IL would be a great disappolnt-
ment 10 Delaware and an obstacle to
the States development If the Boule-
ward should not be built The hope Is
expressed by most people that Gen
eral dupont can find his way clear 10
carry out his project and that the
opposition that seems to have been
mysteriously built up may be over
come. One mistaken Impression that
seems to exist is that General DUPONT
could build houses along the Boule-
ward strip of land. This could not be
done. as the Boulevard corporations
law expressly stipulates that the land
is to be for a road and for public utll-
tiles and only buildings as may be
necessary in connection with the op-
GRAFTON of such utilities.

day because her sight has been re-

formed the operation and after the
bandages were removed in three days

When Dr. Roth called at the hos
pital she recognized the physician by
his voice and greeted him with smiles
The operation was performed one

she is once more TO behold daylight
and to see the things which she has
been unable to notice for years.
