his head is believed to have com
mitted the triple crime. and killed him
self.
Caskey was a recluse who made his
home on the Hendricks farm. What
occurred there today can only be sur
missed as all the witnesses are believed
to be dead.
The body of Hendricks, who was As
years old, was found in the barn
where he had been at work when shot.
The two women, each more than so
years old, were shot while sewing In
their home. There were no evidences

to Believer hospital after she had
been removed there, and demands an
immediate investigation.
The fact that the woman is an i'm
portant witness for the district attor-
ney in the Becker case, says the let
ter, makes my request for an imme-
Jiate and thorough investigation an
imperative necessity. Coming along
as soon after the notorious police In
limitation of other witnesses, it re-
fleets not only upon the hospital au-
thorities, but seems to be another in
timation that minor members of your
administration are endeavoring to pro-
tect Becker in every possible way"

All Parties Fired Upon Were Driving
Automobiles-company Feared an
Attempt to Dynamite Street
Railway Plant.

Augusta, Ga, Sept. 27-Alfred Dorm
was killed and two other citizens shot,
one probably fatally, by members of
the state militia tonight, who had
formed dead line about the Fifteenth
street plant of the street railway com
pany here to prevent attack by strik-
ers or sym2athizers. The injured
are: Robert Christie, business man,
shot through the lungs; Ben f. Baker,
another business man.
The state troops were called out late
this afternoon after reports were cur
rent that the strikers proposed to dy-
Mantle the company's power plant to-
night A dead line was established at
each end of the property and the sol
diers armed with riot cartridges. The
soldiers were instructed to challenge
anybody attempting to pass the lines
and to fire upon them if their chal-
lenge was ignored.

men, was driving in an automobile
and 1t is said, did not hear the SEN
try's cry. He had gone but few

VATE have received from Lieutenant Francis B. East

Science and Tactics in Delaware College, this letter
of appreciation Of an editorial which we printed on
Friday urging adequate financial support for that
college:
Dear sir-I have just an editorial in this
ings edition Of your paper concerning Delaware Col
1t is extremely gratifying to say the least, 90 see
that some one understands and properly appreciates
the handicap and extra burdens and embarrassments
that have been placed upon that institution and the
honorable members of the faculty by the apparent in
difference OF our own people
AS you state, the members Of the faculty indust
they are all cultured and serous-minded gentlemen
who take personal and fatherly interest in each and
every student, and that they effort to start
them on career Of usefulness. That their efforts
have not been in vain be in the rating given
principal departments by the Journal Of the Car
nege Institute.
speak from unprejudiced point of view. There are
many improvements and real needs such other in
stitutions Of our standing would consider absolute
necessities that cannot be considered here for
the reasons set forth in the editorial mentioned.
/ sincerely hope that you will continue the good
work. and that some day We viii be rewarded by
seeing Delaware ranking where 1t shouldn't least
in the minds Of our own citizens.
Very respectfully. -
Commandant.
Newark Del, Sept o. 1912
II is pleasant to note that our effort the
interest of Delawareans in the needs of only col
lege has met with such hearty recognition from
Lieutenant Eastman, who 10 of the most efficient
and popular United States army officers detailed
by the Government for educational work in Newark.
AS he says, he is, in sense outsider who can
discuss dispassonaty and without prejudice the col
lege and its needs, and seemingly what said about
the institution has appealed to him being fully
warranted by the facts
We hope the editorial has made strong an I'M
preston upon wealthy and philosophical men
and that the interest aroused will result
the establishment of large endowment fund which
will permit the college perform its functions
in our commonwealth.

Further evidence that the Allee-Layton- Houston
Drexler cabal is working in behalf of the Democrats
is shown by the fact that its county committee has
issued a call for a county convention in Kent county
on next Thursday for the purpose of setting COM
plete Sucker" county ticket including legislative
didates. The Democrats now control that county.
Their administration of it's affairs has been incom
petent however that the Republicans probably will re-
gain control as result the November election IL
is in the hope Of assisting the Democrats to retain
control that the Aee-Layton- Houston-Drexler COM
bination will put the third ticket in the field. The
probability is that the real" Progressive party will
endorse the Republican county ticket and do every
thing possible to assist in Wrestling Kent from the
control of the Democrats.
