DEFENDS
HIS STATE
Governor Declares State Not
Responsible for Fraud
ulent Companies

Governor Charles r. Miller, in a
statement received yesterday, in which
he disusses complaints filed with him
by New York insurance companies
against alleged fraudulent insurance
companies chartered in Delaware.
called attention TO the fact that the
State Department, contrary to pre-
vailing opinion. is not responsible for
the birth of such companies
Insurance companies" said Cover
nor Miller, ARE not chartered by the
State Department Their charters are
not issued under the the general cor
pcration law, but under the insurance
laws. The only connection the State
Department has with them is to see
that the tax is paid The State has
neither tho means nor the opportunity
TO closely scrutinize the actions of the
agents of insurance companies
chartered here. but it will do what it
can to correct any irregularities which
may be discovered. Some of the
letters I have received declare that
the abuses have been going on for
some time. If such is the case, it is
rather odd that our attention has not
been called to the matter before"

EDITOR PRAISES
THE DINNER PLAN

The Chamber of Commerce gives out
the following:
The Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived from Robert c. Houston. edi-
tor of the Sussex Republican, the lat

out because It is thought It contributes
commercially to the campaign of edu-
cation, the inauguration of which Will
have its initiative in the coming Pen
insula editors dinner. The campaign
spoken about here is inteded TO one
marked by the frankness and candor
which should always be and is the
characteristic of real friendship.
IL is the object and intention of the
Chamber of Commerce to make a city
OF Wilmington. When IL is said make
city, II is meant that all the allur-
ing possibilities and advantages VIII
mington possesses will be exploited
not only In talk, but in fact. In order
10 bring about this result plain talk
is invited, and at this time we would
prefer TO hear about our faults rather
than our virtues. Here is Mr.. Hous-
tons letter. IL is both pertinent and
timely;

present upon that occasion.
II am sure that you have given this
matter too much exhaustive thought
and consideration TO be benefited by
any suggestion that ] might make. I
suppose, however. that the object of
this entertainment is TO bring about
better acquaintance between the
down the State people and the bust
less people OF the city Of Whining
ton
"Of course there has always been an
intimate political association among
men interested in politics down the
state and those of the same tendency
IN your city. and newspaper editors
who TO a greater or less degree are
interested and active IN politics are
part Of such association. but from a
business standpoint this political in
timacy has not been Of great business

IN contact with the sellers Of your
city. and Il seems to me that this
thought should be kept uppermost In
mind in the preparation and execution
Of any plan having for its object in
creased patronage from the Peninsula.
Wilmington business men must re-
member that are competitors with
Philadelphia and Baltimore. and that
they cannot count on any mere senti-
mcnt or local State pride of the fact
that Wilmington is the only city In the
State TO effect this competition. II
Wilmington business houses can offer
greater advantages to the Peninsula
buyer and will bring that fact to their
knowledge, believe that they will

aration of a legal argument to cover

BURGLARIES At " MAYESVILLE..
Stores Of Il. II. Kahn and j. T.. Bland
Entered Sunday Night-BlOOd-
hound Killed by Train-Other Rob-
berries.

Mayesville, June 9.--It seems that
an epidemic OF burglaries is in prog
ress In this town. Durin gthe wind
and rain storm last night, someone or
several burglars entered the store of
T. l.. Kahn on Main street and also
the market of j. f. Bland on the op-
posite side of the street. One of the
large plate glass windows in the door
OF the Kahn store was smashed and
the robber made his entrance in this
way. From the bloody condition of
the floor, the man must have cut
himself on the glass. A quantity of
clothing and shoes are missing from
the stock. AT the market, the cash
register was opened and about three
dollars taken.
The burglars made good their get
away. Chief Hinson got on the trail
or the man or men at once with his
fine young bloodhound and followed
the trail down the Coast Line railway
track toward Sumter. At point
about three miles from Sumter, near
Bets mill, the early morning pas
senger train No. 35, overlook the dog
and ran over him. 1t is supposed that
the dog was so intent on the tran
that he paid no attention to the train
His loss Is a very serious one to the
policeman and the town generally. .
On Friday night, there were three
houses entered, Mrs. l.. S. Griffin lost a
quantity Of groceries from her pantry
and two negro houses were looted of
clothing. About three weeks ago, the
store Of j. E. Barnett, next door to
the Kahn store. was entered through
the plate glass windows. 1t is possi-
BILE that the same party entered both
OF these stores as his method Of en-
trance was the same. and the other
party is supposed to have come from
the direction Of Sumter. An effort is
being made to run down the burglars
but chances appear to be slight in
capturing them. Had not the train
put such a tragic stop to the hunt
this morning, the criminal would no
doubt have been located.
