He said the mistake is that the police

many men were seen there at times.
Chief Black said that II the woods was
in the city limits. the men should be
arrested as vagrants and brought into
the police station. chief Black said
he wanted to be fair to all and spoke
of the automobile which laid IN ditch
along the Boulevard for two days
while kilograms were being sent out
notifying other cities Of the theft.
This machine was reported by wom-
an who lived nearby, yet no officer
had seen IL.
Then the chief told of thief sleep

Washington street bridge and saw po-
lice officers go by. Continuing, Chief
Black said he thought the officers
should have known Of the conditions

houses and reported them. He de
clared he wanted the proper support
from the men. as he wanted to make
this city compare favorably with
others.
II was then that Chief Black stated

WHIPPING
DELAWARE
INTO SHAPE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Del, Sept 1S-The
Delaware College football team was
given the hardest practice of the
year yesterday afternoon The prac-
tice was held by Coach McAvoy and
Dick Taylor the captain and star
of last years eleven. About twenty
five mon reported on the field. Sew
eral men who have been coming out
every night were unable to report be-
cause of blistered feet, stiff muscles
and other minor injuries. The first
thirty-fve minutes was devoted to
puntings and running back kicks. Con
nellee and Horty did the puntingwith
Horty doing the better booting. Dur
ing this time Coach McAvoy showed
the quarterback candidates how to
handle punts and run with the ball.
Following this preliminary practice
the coach picked out two teams and
started them off on signal practice.
The coach took charge of the Var
sity while Taylor hadled the scrub
eleven. Only the most elementary
plays we're gone through. The sig
nails. being new, confused the men
somewhat, but after half-hour's
drill all managed to run through the
plays with very little difficulty The
coach kept the men hard at practice
until Il was too dark to see the ball
The next practice will be held today
at 345 o'clock. The Varsity was COM
posed of Huston. Carswell Horty and
Connellee in the back field and with
Cam. Kelly. Looms. f., Rudulph,
Pepper, Dean and Loomis, s.. on the
line. Many OF these men are mem
bers of last years squad but several
of the men. namely, Pepper, Horty
are new and have yet TO learn the
coach's system of play.
Coach McAvoy is none too optimis-
tic about the prospects Of the team
due mainly to the loss Of last sea
sons entire backheld with the ex-
ception of Jim Huston, this years
captain. Very few backneld mer

peculiarities into the semblance Of
vices or weaknesses is not convincing.

the better chance we may have to
persuade our fellow citizens of the
common sense of our own arguments
for the president.

DO YOU CARE

Saturday evening, March 80, will
be held throughout Vermont the
Republican caucuses, which vii
choose delegates who will name the
men who will represent Vermont at
the Chicago convention.
1t is the one only and last oppor-
tunity of the rank and file of the
voters to have any word to- say as to
who shall be the next president of
the United States Vermont is one
sided politically and will in Novem-
Der support the Republican nominee.
The Saturday night caucuses will
have a bearing on the selection of
that nominee In fact the contest is
close enough so that the eight dele
gates from Vermont might decide
the question.
If there was ever a time when it
was the duty of the Republican yot-
ers to turn out, Saturday night of
this week is that time. 1t cannot be
said in this case that the result is a
foregone conclusion for the outcome
of the national campaign is still I'M
decided
There ought to be a thousand vot-
ers present at the caucus Saturday
night in Bennington and the turnout
in the other towns of this county
should be proportionately large.

Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin
retains his seat after a hard struggle.
Both the Vermont senators voted in
his favor The Stephenson case
should not be confounded with that
of Lorimer in whose behalf there
was wholesale debauchery of a legis-
lature. The Wisconsin senator, who
is multi-millionaire, merely handed
out money lavishly to his workers
and asked no accounting Probably
a third of the senators, including
both parties, used similar methods
and 1t would be unfair to make the
aged Stephenson the goat when there
are younger men in the Senate like
Percy, democrat and DUPONT, repub-
lican, whose elections were a much
more notorious scandal. The result
in the Stephenson case, however,
argues i'll for Lorimer. Stephenson
escaped unseating by a margin OF
four votes because Of his advanced
age and other extenuating circum-
stances, but there are no such cir
cumstances in the case of Lorimer
If the Senate votes to retain Lori
mer. it will seriously blacken a repu-
tation already badly solled.
