The first athletic association to
organize and get into shape a base
ball club with we'll equipped mem-
bership is the Wyoming Baseball
Association, witch has elected r. W.
Jackson, manager, and G.. M. Fish

than any club last season and has
already begun to arrange dates with
we'll organized clubs for next season.

grove, Hook, Rash, Price, Carton,
Jackson, Larimore, Clark, Fowler,
the latter being a promising pitcher,

,aANG Of MILFORD THIEVES
ARE ROUNDED UP At DOVER
IMPLICATED IN GETTING $4,000
WORTH OF JEWELRY AT MILFORD
Seven Arrests Made and Some Found
With the Goods in Their Posses
sion-ln Dover Jail

Warrants for seven swarthy
negroes and the recovery or location
of nearly S4, 900 worth of jewelry-
all this and more, the arrest of
eight of the accused, goes to the
credit of the Delaware authorities
who worked through binding snow
storm Friday on one of the most re-
markable of Delaware robheries. At
an early hour Friday morning the
Dover police, who had been notified
of the looting of Brown B. Topping s
jewelry store of $4,000 worth cf
plate and of gold and silver jewelry
and of diamonds, at Milford, spotted
three strange nergOes who had ap-
piled for lodging in a house just
vacated by Charles Gray. Gray was
not implicated. The men wanted
lodging for the night and got some
help to get the house comfort able,
so they told, but the authorities
knew they were hiding simply to
jump the midnight northbound train
for Philadelphia. COlored Policeman
Oliver Jones notified Patrolman
Henry Wheatly and County Con-
stable Cole of his suspicious and
Gray's house was soon surrounded
Cole in front, Wheatley at the side
with watch on all windows, and
Jones in the rear, breaking in the
door. Wheatley saw the tallest
negro seize suit case and jam it
down an old closet. The police had
TO shoot up the house to Quell the
negroes and cause their surrender,
first of arms and then of booty.
Fred Jackson, Charles Brown and
Harry Barnes, all we'll loaded with
gold watches and the like, were
taken to Dover prison and commit
ted by Magistrate Wood. The suit
case, so heavy it required strong
arm to carry it, was taken to Woods
Office where those present seldom
have seen such costly layout. II
looked like a brides boudoir wher
her presents arrive. Sheriff Joshua
Raughley, with the aid of a negro
trusty in Jail, got a statement from
Brown and Barnes, in which both
declared innocence of the robbery,
but implicated Jackson and told the
authorities where to find more golc
and silver. Meantime warrants

Lewes Pier to Go After Many Losse.

Lewes Pier to Go After Many Losses
1t is reported that DR.. George H.
West and others, of Philadelphia,
owners of the transportation pier
at Lewes, which was partly de-
molished by ice last week, have de-
cidea to demolish the entire structure
and sell the lumber at public sale.
Thus ends another chapter in the
history of steamboat conL ection be-
tween Lewes, Wilmington and Phil
adelphia, involving financial loss to
those interested. Right in this
connection it is interesting to note
that talk of a new pier and steam
boat line is heard. With added in
dustries in the town it would appear
that steamboat line would have
much brighter prospects than here

of the Ocean House on Lewes Beach

LYNCH 5 REBELS.
AMONG VICTIMS is FORMER
PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC AND
TWO BROTHERS.
REVOLT SNUFFED OUT
Action Follows Assassination of Ex-
ecutive Chosen by Troops.
Disorders Began with
EStrada's Death.

GuayaQuil, Ecuador. A mob broke
into the Quito penitentiary in spite Of
a double guard and lynched Generals
clay Alfaro, F1avio Alfaro, Medardo
Alfaro, Ulpiano Paez and Manuel Sor-
rano, all prominent revolutionists.
With the putting to death of Gen
eral clay Alfaro, ex-president Of Ecua-
dor, his brother, General Flayio Alfaro,
~eX-minister of war and COMMANDMENTS
chief of the revolutionary forces; Cen
eral Medardo Alfaro, who is believed
to have been a brother of the two
other Alfaros, and Generals PaeZ and
Manuel Sorrano, the leading lights in
Ecuador's latest revolution have been
snuffed out.
This revolution, although it had been
long brewing. began in reality a few
days following the sudden death on
Dec. % last of President Emilio Es-
trada.
Last Thursday at Guayaquil General
Pedro Montero, who was proclaimed
of Estrada, was shot and beheaded by
a mob which later burned his body.
The shooting of Montero took place
in the court room where the general
had just been tried by court martial
and sentenced to 16 years imprison-
ment for his connection with the re-
volt. The people evidently annoyed at
what they considered a too light sem
tence, rushed into the court room and
after Kidding Bontero's body with bull
let's. dragged it into the open. Then
they decapitated it, built a bonfire and
threw into the flames the torso and
head of the man who once was a popu-
lar hero in Ecuador.
Eloy Alfaro and Generals Paez and
M%ontero were captured Jan. % at
Guayaquil. Flavio Alfaro had been
wounded in a battle a few days be-
fore the fall Of Guayaquil. Medardo
Alfaro was captured Jan. %.
Severe fighting followed the out
break of the revolt and continued with
varying successes until Jan. 10, when
the revels suffered a bad defeat at
Yaguache, northeast Of G~uayaQuil.

bate which will be resumed again.
Replying to charges that the Demo
Gratis had abandoned the farmer by
not putting agricultural machinery on

derwood of the ways and means com
mittee retorted that it was not a part

No Protection Needed.

Representative Dalzell Of Pennsyl-
yania representing the Republican mi
nority on the ways and means COM
mittee, demanded of the Democrats
why they had not first introduced the
wool revision bill. The metal shcedule
he said, was cut to the bone in the
Payne-Aldrich law of 1909; while the
Democrats had declared that the wool
tariff was the most unreasonable OF
all in the tariff code of the country
Mr.. Dalzell paid his compliments to
another Democratic leader. Governor
Woodrow Wilson. He quoted an arti-
Gle of Governor Wilson's which credit
ed the majority members of the ways

Of what amendments, if any, would
be permitted in consideration of the
bill.
A crowded house listened for two
hours to the opening speech by Repre-
who explained the bill on behalf OF
the majority members of the ways
and means committee.
Mr.. Palmer said the measure would
stimulate competition. by permitting a
slight increase in imports Of metal
products, and would thereby ONE
what lower prices. He denied it would
have any effect on wages, or upon
industries in the United
States.
Representative Hill of Connecticut
said the placing Of typewriters, limo
type machines, cash registers and 9th
ar patented articles on the free list,
as proposed in the bill, would result
the removal of American plants to
soil where the goods could be
made cheaper, while the patents would
prevent any reduction in the selling
price in the American market. Repre-
sentative Palmer asserted there would
not be such an outcome.
The debate was limited to speeches
