KENT COUNTY
REPTILE FOR
ENGLTSHFRTEND

Gray Carter, II years old. Of No.
S33 Van Buren street, this city, cap
tured large and beautifully marked
COW snake on his fathers farm near
Smyrna yesterday. The boy was
walking along a brook near the front
lawn when he beheld the serpent
coiled on small pile of dead leaves.
II was between and feet long ana
its black body was marked beautiful
ly with bands of yellow.
Leaping backward, the boy seized d
club aud hit the snake on the head 40
it struck toward him. The snake fell
and save its tail seemed to be dead.
The boy carried It up TO the farm
house and laid It down for the other
members of the family to admire. His
surprise was great when the reptile,
which had regained consciousness,
coiled quickly and reared its head
greatly 70 the CONSERVATION of the
women folk. The snake was held

Zoo" the boy said, and his catch was
brought to this city this morning. It
was discovered, however that the To-
cal zoo has not progressed so far as
TO have a snake house. Finally II
was ascertained that Leonard Hag-
ner, Of No. 937 Lombard street, desir-
ed a nice specimen of an American
snake to send to a friend in Eng and.
Therefore the Kent county reptile was
sent to him 10 be placed in a cage
suitable for its impending transat-
lantic voyage. BY teh time il has
reached it's new home on the tight
little island Of John Bull, it will en-
joy the distinction of being the most

next meets it may be that many mem-

Aroused by the killing of John J.

was shot through the brain while

George Mr.. Perry while driving his au-
tomobile over the same road on Tues
day, nearly ran over a negro who was
drunk in the road. "Ill get even with
you for that" the man shouted with
an oath. The belief that the Negro

friends.

Willard Salisbury Calls Cub

Conference

HARMONY" LETTER SAYS

Willard Salisbury National Com
mitteeman and Democratic boss of
Delaware. has sent a letter to Sen
ator Thomas NJ. Monaghan, Millard
r. Davis, Charles d. Bird, Theodore
Il. Armstrong of Newark, and Fred
erick Brady, of Middletown, inviting
them to confer with him on Wednes-
day morning next to talk over the
Gubernatorial situation. The nve
men who received the letters from
Mr.. Salisbury are Democratic candi-
dates for Governor.
Before he sent the communications
to the FIVE candidates, Mr.. Salisbury
called each of them by telephone,
broached the conference idea to them
and followed it up with the formar
letter and invitation for a meeting
on Wednesday morning.
The meeting place set by MT.
SALISBURY is his Office in this city.
The letter he sent to each candidate
covers about q page and a half Of
typeWrting, and sets forth that there
are five candidates for the Office and
suggests the conference as advisable
for all the candidates to talk over
the Gubernatorial situation in the in
terests of party harmony.
Some friends of Senator Monaghan
today saw in the conference arranged
by Mr. Salisbury a beautiful scheme
to try 10 bowl Monaghan out of the
Guhernatori ~ race. Monaghan has
shown great strength thus far in the
prel minary skirmishes, and reports
from the hundred meetings in the
rural county are to the effect that
Monaghan captured more delegates
than any other single candidate, al
though he lacks a majority Of the
delegates from the rural county.
Monaghans friends in Wilmington
have set up their slate of delegates
and are trying to deliver a solid dele
gaton Of fifteen men from Whining
ton to vote for him in the Democratic
caucus and convention at Dover on
September 10. Opposition to sending

Democrats are predicting that when
the showdown comes at the primaries
