WHIPPING
BY STATE
Chief Black Tells Police Chiefs
Post is a Crime
Deterrent
NO BRUTALITY
In THE FLOGGING

Chief of Police George Black. OF
Wilmington, today before the Con-
vention of the international Associ-
alton OF Chiefs OF Police I'm Toronto,
read an interesting paper on "The
Whipping Post in Delaware"
Declaring that sensational stories
had been sent broadcast about
brutalities OF fiogging and the whip
ping post that had no existence in
fact, Chief Black voiced the conclusion
that the whipping post had been eff
fective as a deterrent of crime In
Delaware. In his paper Chief Black
said:
THE proper treatment of persons
convicted Of crime has engrossed from
the beginning of time the attention of
all classes of persons who have given
any consideration TO the matter. To-
day more intelligent consideration is
given to this matter than ever before,
and ! consider this one Of the very
hopeful signs of the time.
In olden times life for a life. an
eye for an eye. tooth for tooth
and limb for a limb was the doctrine
which animated those TO whom was
entrusted the enforcement OF law. Not
so long ago, even in our own country,
one convicted Of burglary. horse
stealing and even lesser offenses was
forced to forfeit his life as a Just
punishment for his wrongdoing. In
some OF our States. until quite recently
the ducking stool and the branding
iron were considered a proper form
OF punishment for certain offenses. All
our citizens should be deeply inter-
ested in seeing that the law Is upheld
and the proper measure Of punish
ment is meted out to anyone who
violctes Il.
"The police force of any City be il
large or small, is not especially In
terested in the form Of punishment ia
flicted upon wrongdoers, except to the
extent that they are interested as are
all other citizens In seeing that per
sons who commit crime are giver
such punishment as will not only pu
them out OF the way for the time be
ing. Of infiicting further harm upoI
the community. but will also act I'm
way that will prevent others from com
mitting like crime. The average
policeman is not a sentimentalist mol
is he a vindictive person, but in a grea
majority Of cases he is a stickler foi
exact justice, and much as It appears
to differ from the common belief, h'
nor more desires 10 see a man un
justly punished than he does to see
him made hero because of his Grimm
al record.
"The chief ambition Of the head o
a Police Department and the mer
under him Is to see that his City !!
kept clear of anyone, who, not desiring
TO earn his bread by the sweat OF his
brow or by honest toll seeks to gaiI
a livelihood b. enriching himself a
the expense Of his fellowman. and an!
law or any punishment under an.
Statute that would tend to assist then

is again to the fore in Wilmington
as a contributor to a church. The
beneficiary this time is ST. Hedwig's

and in fact, is expected to reach here
within a short time II is the inten-
ton TO have it erected in the church
so that it can be used, either on the
last Sunday of the present month or
the first Sunday of next month
The organ, it was said today. will
cost S3500. Of which sum Mr.. Carne-
gle will advance $500. leaving $4,000
for the church congregation TO pay.
The organ will be one Of the best in
the city and will replace a reed or

BOOM JUDGE
GRAY FOR The
GOVERNORSHIP
Some Democrats Hope to Get
Him to Accept Party'S
Nomination
FRIENDS LAUGH AT IDEA
OF HIS RETIREMENT

Some Democrats have started an
agitation to try to have Judge George
Gray 10 become the party's candidate
for Governor in the campaign now
under way. This was first suggested
by some prominent Democrats Of
Kent county, and since has been
taken up by several influential Dem
ocrats Of Wilmington. IL is under
stood that the subject has not been
broached to Judge Gray by the men
starting the Gubernatorial boom, but
they hope that the call for him TO
stand as a candidate will become so
general that he would be willing to
retire from the bench and accept the
nomination of his party. Close
friends OF Judge Gray, however. point
out that such an agitation will be
futile, as they do not think for a
minute that the judge would think
Of retiring from the bench to run FOR
public office. Judge Gray, under the
law, could retire at any time on the
half pay allowance, but he still is in
excellent health and gives as much
time and attention to his duties as a
jurist as any other Judge.
Friends of former Judge David T.
Marvel have started a Gubernatorial
boom in his behalf. and it has found
much favor. Judge Marvel has an
extensive acquaintance throughout
the state and originally came from
Sussex county. If his candidacy is
urged il is believed he would prove q
formidable candidate.

SOL COMES
WITH MORE HEAT

The rain brought short respite
from the heat last night, giving Will
mington a breathing spell before the
renewed combat with the swelteriI &
weather today. EVERYBODY was glad
to see it rain, but probably nobody
welcomed the statewide shower so
much as the farm ers. The continued
drouth was fast shriveling up the
truck patches, and each day meant
many dollars lost by Delaware farm
ers. Fruit and vegetables, and es-
pecially potatoes, have suffered great
ly throughout the state.
The roads have been ankle deep in
dust, to the discomfort of travellers.
The thermometer got as low as 75
dgrees at midnight last night This
morning it climbed as high as yester-
days record.
The animals are suffering from the
heat as much as the human beings,
and there are an unusually large
numb. of sick horses reported.
The rain was general throughout
the East last night and it is hoped
there may be an end to the heat wave
which is causing scores of deaths and
prostratiOns as far north as Montreal.
The torrid wave is not so serious as
the record wave last July, when one
third of the country was involved and
1900 deaths reported the first two
weeks of the month.

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, July IL
Six men perished, two others are

from death when the Panama mine Of

outside of this city was wrecked by
a gas explosion today.
The explosion wrecked the lower
entry where nine miners we're work.
ing, but 100 others, scattered through
the upper levels, managed to get to
the surface unscathed. One miner,
who was standing besidt the lowered
cage, was blown into it by the explo-
sion. He was unconscious when
drawn to the surface and it is believed
he will die. The second Of the in
iured rescued, ran nearly half a
mile In a semi-conscious condition,
signaled for a cage and fell into 1t un-
conscious, when It was dropped into
the blazing shaft alongside OF him.
Relief crews and experts from the
mines In the vicinity, and from across
the Ohio river were hurried to the
scene. An effort to reach the seven
men entombed faild. The after-damp
was very strong and the mine inspec-
tors who tried to go to the bottom OF
the shaft were nearly overcome before
they had been dropped below the first
level and signalled TO be hauled up.
Another attempt to recover the bodies
will be made as soon as the lower
levels can be ventilated.

CORNING, n. Y, July 11.-Engi-
neer Schroeder, who was in the cab
of the express train that smashed into
the Buffalo limited on the Lackawan-
ma railroad near here early on the
Fourth of July morning, causing the
death of Al persons, will take the
stand in his own defense next Monday
afternoon. The coroner's inquest was
today adjourned until that time on the
assurance of Schroeder's doctor that
he will then be sufficiently recovered
from his attack of nervous prostra-
ton to tell his side of the case. One
witness has fatty sworn that Schroed-
er was drunk less than four hours
before he took his train out. Three
other witnesses, called late yesterday
declared that this was false. The head
hostler at the round house testified
that Schroeder was in excellent ply
sical condition and the conductor Of
the train swore that he talked with
Schroeder before the train left Elmira
and that he was "all right"
Other witnesses swore that they
saw Schroeder assisting an intoxicat-
ed neighbor home four hours before
he left on his run. Two saloonkeep-
ers, in whose places this man and the
engineer we're, testified that Schroed-
er drank water, and his companion
beer.
That Schroeder was called twice to
go out on the run was made a part
Of the records. 1t was shown, how
ever, that in neither case did the call
/ er make the engineer sign the call
book, as required by the rules Of
the road.
That the death list would have been
vastly reduced if all steel cars had
been used was shown by the testi-
mony of the conductor of the ill.
fated train. Thirty-five of the forty
passengers in the wooden day coach
were killed; three in a Pullman car,
and three in a steel day coach. The

WASHINGTON, July ll.-An at
tempt to end the oratory on the Lori
mer case and vote on the Illinois
statesman's right to a seat tomorrow
was begun today when the Senate
convened for the fifth successive day
Of its deliberations in the matter.
Senator Lorimer informed the leaders
that he desired 90 close the debate
with his personal defense, but 1t was
understood that his speech would oc-
cupy only a few hours. A year ago
his defence extended over several
days.
Senator Lea. Of Tennessee, who,
with Senator Kern. has been heading
the opposition to Lorimer. expected to
occupy nearly all OF to-day in his
discussion OF the evidence. Senator
Thornton, Of Louisiana, is also sched-
uled for an address. BY holding a
late session to-day, and beginning
again early tomorrow, leaders figured
that a vote on Lorimer's right TO his
senatorial toga might be reached late
tomorrow afternoon.
