BIG REVIVAL AT JERMAN CHAPEL
twenty-five Conversions To-date and
Many Seeking at the AItar-Need
for a Church Twice the Size.

The revival meetings at Jerman
Chapel, Rev. w E. Matthews, pas
tor, is growing in interest all the
time. We have had about twenty five
conversions with many others seeking.
Great crowds are present. Last Sun
day night the people filled the church
an hour before the time of preaching,
and by the time for service it was
packed from the altar to the door. 1t
is supposed one hundred turned away.
Many have expressed themselves as
wishing they could come but say it is
no use we can't get in the church.
The pastor has expressed himself with
a great desire to have a place in
Smyrna large enough to hold the peo-
pie. Deep conviction is abroad. One
man expressed himself, saying, / have
lived to be old and never sought
Christ, but l feel now / must turn to

SALISBURY STILL THREE
VOTES SHY SENATORSHIP
BALLOT IN JOINT SESSION TO.
DAY REMAINS UNCHANGED
Four BoIters Stick out for Kent County
Man and Refuse to Get in Line
With Majority of Democrats

The vote at Dover to-day is with
out change and Willard Salisbury is
still shy two votes of the constitu-
tional majority for election to the
United States Senate. The unexpect-
ed happened Monday in connection
with the fight. Although the selec-
tion of Willard Salisbury, National
Committeeman from Delaware. in
caucus of the Democratic legislators
was anticipated, a contest developed
almost at the last hour. A call for
caucus was signed late Monday by
all of the 90 Democratic legislators,
but Senator Williams and Represen-
tatives Schneider, Cummins and Hous-
ton, all of Kent county, announced
that they attached their signatures to
the document with the understanding
that the caucus was not to be bind
ing. When the vote was about to be
taken, these four vacated the room.
Salisbury received 20 votes and
RIdgley 5. On motion to make Sauls-
bury's choice unanimous, Salisbury
received 25 votes, two short of
enough to elect. There were stormy
scenes to follow. Taunts, slurs and
accusations failed. They could not
be moved. Yesterday there was no
change. With the four bolting as
semblyrnen pledged to remain firm
until enough votes are procured to
elect Kent county man, protracted
deadlock Of the Delaware legislature
on the election of United States Sena-
tor seems certain. Salisbury lacked
three votes of enough to elect him on
joint ballot on the showing made yes
terday in the separate houses. The
vote was as follows: Senate-Wil-
lard Salisbury, z; James H. Hughes,
l; both Democrats. Alfred l. du

TEACHERS OF STATE MEET

Make Recommendation for Change in
School Laws for More Perfect System
The Association of Principals and
High School Teachers of Delaware
held its last regular meeting of this
school year on last Saturday, January
18th, in Dover High School. The
entire day was used in discussing and
considering our present school system,
teachers certificates, etc. The Asso-
citation passed number of resolutions
in the form of recommendations to the
State Board of Education and the
State Legislature for new measures
and enactments along school lines.
The Association feels that the recon-
mendations must come sooner or later,
and the sooner they come the better it
will be for our schools in Delaware.

POLICE EFFECTS GOOD ORDER
Mere Presence of Lee Cochran, the
New Chief, Has Beneficial Effect.
Good Order Saturday Night

Smyrna's new Chief of Police, Lee
Cochran, of Middletown, took hold of
his new position here last Wednesday,
following his election by Town COun-
ell and his mere presence has had a
beneficial effect. The order, espec-
tally on Saturday night was decidedly
noticeable and while no arrests have
been necessary, citizens in general
feel that the new police regulations
of Town Council will go a long way
toward better order on our streets.
Chief Cochran is getting more vigi-
liant work out of his assistants, Police
men Turner and Wick and altogether
law and order is being enforced in a
manner that has not been the case for
years. Drunkenness and disorder is
no longer allowed on the street and
the new chief is on the lookout for
speakeasies. In speaking of Smyrna
new chief the Middletown Transcript
says: ''Mr. Cochran has had consider
able experience as a private detective
and assistant to Chief Hilyard of Mid
dletown, and possesses all of the
qualities to perform his new duties.
If the people of Smyrna will stand
back of him we feel confident that in
few months he will demonstrate to
them that he is competent to handle
the rough element and eliminate their
speakeasies. -

bors, the total amount of SIG, 725.

L. IRVING HANDY QUITS RACE
Issues Statement and Withdrew From
Senatorial Race on Saturday

Issues Statement and Withdrew From
Senatorial Race on Saturday
Congressman Levin Irving
Handy of this town, announced on
Saturday night, his withdrawal from
the race for United States Senator.
He dictated a statement. The failure
of the aspirants in Kent county to
agree upon a single candidate for the
senatorship and the refusal of the
twelve Democratic legislators from
the same county to reach a similar
decision, are the primary causes of
Mr.. Handy's action. He further said
he did not expect to go to Dover Mon
day night when a caucus was held
In his statement, Mr.. Handy releases
all his friends in the General Assem-
bly, who had agreed to support him.
The statement follows: 81 desire to
make public announcement that / re-
lease all of my political friends in
the General Assembly from all prom
ises and obligations to vote for me in
caucus, for United States Senator.
In this connection, l express the hope
that the-choice for Senator may prove
wise and generally acceptable to the
people of Delaware. :"

SECRETARY OF STATE NAMED
Governor Miller Appoints His Son, T
w. Miller to $4,000 Place

Governor Miller's first official act
yesterday, was to name his son, Thos.
w. Miller, young man 20 years old,
secretary of state. The position pays
$4,000 year. The appointment ere
ated loud howl from the politicians.
Governor Miller, it is understood,
named his son because he did not
trust any of the politicians who were
in line for the position. The COVER
nor is not in the best of health and
fears he must be away from his Office
a part of the time. He wants to
leave in charge of the secretary of
states Office a man whose actions he
knows will be in line with his own
policies and desires. His son is a
Yale graduate and has been private
secretary to Congressman Heald, at
Washington. He as been active in
the campaigns of Congressman Heald
and Governor Miller, both as speaker
and manager.

tinual Increase in Business
Reports from postmasters in Del

eral Hitchcock show that the recently
instituted parcel post system is prov
ing popular and successful in this
state. A report of the first seven
days operation of the system, which
in reality was hardly more than five
days, because one day was New
Years, legal holiday, and another
Sunday. when the Offices were closed,
shows that business far exceeded ex-
pectations. During that period there
was handled at the office in Whining
ton 4 343 packages; at Dover 812
packages, and at Milford, 295 pack
ages. Reports from other towns in
the State indicate also that the new
system is highly appreciated.
