more than 100 deputy sheriffs, acting
under orders of the county judge, held
control of the street outside the
armorN. while Coroner Hoffman with
% deputies was busy throughout the

fused and Judge Owens in person de-
manded admittance. He, too, WAS re-
fused. Then he ordered the police to
break down the doors
The outer door fell and the inner

GREATEST MARINE DISASTER
KNOWN IN WORLDS HISTORY
Another Ray Of Hope

A ray of hope appeared shortly be-
fore IL o'clock last night in a mes
sage to the night operator of the
Marconi station at Sable Island. near
the scene of the disaster. Answering
an inquiry regarding the delivery of
a wireless message to the passengers
of the Titanic the operator reported
that it was difficult to deliver them
"as the passengers are believed to
be dispersed among several vessels
Even this faint indication that other
vessels than the Carpathia had picked
up survivors was eagerly seized upon
by thousands of relatives and friends
of those who had taken passage on
the doomed vessel.

WANTED GOOD TIME
BEFORE HE DIED

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Dec. 2S.-Act-
ing on the theory that a man who had
but six months to live might die a
happy death Notwithstanding, r. II.
Mclaughlin. a wealthy farmer of near
HagerstOwn, yesterday found himself
defendant before Judge Keddy, in
proceedings brought by his children,
who seek to ehjoin his method OF
passing away cOntented.
From the testimony OF Mr.. J. Mc-
Pherson Scott Mayor, it developed
that Mclaughlin is a sufferer from
pronounced diabetes and does not eX-
pect to live longer than six months.
That was the excuse he gave the doct-
or for some real estate transactions.
one of which was to put a $4,000 mort
gage on $4,000 farm recently
bought i'm part with his mother-in-
laws money. He said he meant to
sell all his property. the doctor testi-
fed, and have good time the few
remaining days left TO him.
Harry r. Mclaughlin, a brother
testified to a VISIT. when he found his
brother i'm bed with a jug of liquor
and a case of beer by the side of the
bed. The witness said his brother
asked him to see that he got decent
burial and that large stone be rolled
on top of his grave, that the corps
might not be stolen
The children asked the Court to
commit Mclaughlin to an institution

HUNT PREACHERS
TURKEY IN IEWES

LEWES, Del, Dec 2S.-An excit-
ing turkey chase which involved many
of the prominent people of Lewes took
place this week when the big turkey
which was to have furnished dinner
for the Rev. julius Herold. of the
Presbyterian church, escaped to the
town streets. Huston Herold, the
minister's son, just home from college.
and Allen Lauretson friend. started
out with guns to find the big gobbler.

blers was the missing turk. Forum
ately injury was made, and il was
found that all four belonged to Long

MEAT NO LONGER
PRIME NECESSITY

The high cost Of living during the
past year has wrought numerous
changes in the demand for various
foodstuffs. Meat is gradually losing
the position it has held at the dinner
table and its place is being taken by
less expensive food The price of
meat will continue to be high during
the coming year, according to the
statement made yesterday by num-
Der of dealers.
The price of serials has gone down.
Rolled oats. cornmeal, barley and rice
have sold more during the past year
than during the previous year A
reason given yesterday for the re-
duction in the prices of these serials
is that they are being sold in many
places i'm bulk instead of the paper
boxes and cans as heretofore. This
method does away with the expense
of the box and the wrapper and the
packing Lentils and hominy grits
have also sold more during the past
year for the same reason.
Canned corn is becoming very
popular with the housewives and from
present indications the prices will be
lower in January than they are now
The reasons given for the reduction
are that there are many Independent
Gamers in the vicinity of Wilmington
that are competing because they are
anxious to sell their corn before the
rivers are frozen over. Filling the
orders by railroad, they find. very
! expensive process. number of deal
ers are supplying themselves viii

Coffee has lost the place that it helC
and its place is being taken by cocoa
Coffee is 25 per cent dearer now thai
it was last year and cocoa has falleI
in price Another factor that helps 4
make cocoa more popular is that NOR
dealers are selling it in bulk thar
heretofore.
