SUSPECT GANG
OF CRIMES HERE
ROCkIand Postmaster in Media
to Look at Youths Behind
Bars There

State Detective Mccoy went to
Media this morning, accompanied by
Joseph A. Buck, postmaster and store
keeper at Rockland, to look at three
young men under arrest at that place,
two of whom are suspected of many
robberies committed in that part of
Pennsylvania. and also to look over
some of the loot the Pennsylvania
officers have recovered, to see if any
OF il belongs to Mr.. Buck.
Mr.. Buck was the victim OF thieves
twice Once last fall while going
from his store late Saturday night
TO his home with the days receipts
i'm his pocket. he was held up at the
beaten almost into uncOnsciOusness
with blackjack Last Saturday
night his store and pOstotiice was
robbed. The thieves got only mer-
chandise for their trouble, Mr.. Buck
having taken all the stamps and other
government property to his home.
The affair last fall aroused the COM
munity about Rockland and search
was made for the highwaymen, fol-
lowing the assault.
Mccoy received word last nlBnJ lnal
three young men had been arrested
i'm Media and that they had confessed
to holding up Mr.. Buck last fall and
also to robbing his store last Satur
day night The deputy attorney gen
eral of Delaware county informed Mr.
Mccoy that there were enough charg
es against two of the young men e
I hold them for trial in that state. Th'
other of the trio. a young man named
David Snyder, will be brought here
a warrant for him having been sworl
out before Magistrate Lewis by Nc
Coy, this morning, before the latte
left for Media.

METHODISTS TO WAR

office holders are driven from public

either lodged in jail or shall reform

tation Of completely in civic crime by

The Church's Position.
That is where our church has al
ways stood" said Dr. Robert Watt in
secOnding the resolution. I'VE don't
need to be exhorted by secular editors
to come up to that standard. We have
always stood there"
The Rev. II, 7. Quigg, Of Milford.
said the resolution seemed to make Il
direct personal reference or allusion
which he thought should be stricken
out.
Some of us have preached against
this thing for years. said the Rev
T. A. II. O'Brien, of Lawsonia, Md.
and iaymen have come to this confer
ence and objected to our reappOint-
ment because we have preached the
way we did Now this resolution If
adopted means war all along the line "
Cries Of "let it come" came from all
parts of the Conference.
The Rev. w. L. White, of Dover, told
of a minister who preached that the
huying and selling of votes was a
sin, and of a man who came to him
and demonstrated that mems votes
were their own and that they had the
right to sell them. Mr.. White said that
at Seaford where he was preaching
against vote buying several years ago
a prominent man arose and stamped
out Of church.
Down in Delaware there is too
much carelessness in regard to this
subject that is agitating the public
mind" Dr. White said.
DR.. Honecker told of a man of whom
he asked How can you buy men like
sheep on election day and go to COM
muniOn on Sunday. And that precious
rascal was a member Of the Method
list Episcopal Church, Dr. Hoffecker
added.
DR.. Vaughan s. Collins. Of Middle
town objected to the expression. shall

ing the point that ministers them
selves cannot expel anybody from

and it was done. At DR.. c. A. Hills sul

with political corruption were used
instead of all those found guilty

of given kind in various countries.
For instance, II II be assumed that
II a given unit of certain commodity
can be produced in England at one
dollar, or the equivalent OF that sum,
while in the United States the money
expenses OF production are $f.25, 1t
Is necessary to have tarin duty
equal TO the difference In these
money expenses Of production, or GER
tainly to the difference in money ex-
penses minus the allowance for vari-
atoms in freight rates, in order to
place the producers in the two coun-
tries upon an equal market footing.
III this is not done, 1t will be possible
for the producer in the country
where money expenses are lowest TO
drive out OF business the producer
in the country where money expenses
are highest. This assumption Is
based upon an erroneous view OF In
ternational trade, and finds no war
rant whatever in economic reasoning.
Even II it be granted, however,
that an ascertainment or differences
in money cost OF -wheth-
or highest, average, or lowest-would
furnish a guide TO the proper amount
or tariff duty needed for protective
purposes, the problem would remain
whether money expenses of produc
ton could be ascertained in such q
way as TO render the method avail
able. Experience, as well as theo
retical considerations, show that this
is not the case"
