BURGLARS ON
THIRD VISIT
PUZZLE COPS
Evidently Make Jones Store
Rendezvous for Five Weeks
Getting Money as Loot
MAY USE KEY IN
EFFECTING ENTRANCE

Within the past five weeks the busi-
ness place Of ID. B. Jones Company,
No. SAL Market street. dealers in ice
cream and confections, has been en-
tered frequently by thieves. but only
once was a haul made. AS result
of these visits both Mr. Jones and
the police to whom he reported the
matter are stumped. Much mystery
surrounds the manner in which the
intruders effected entrance. On each
occasion the front store door had
been opened with a key or from the
inside after the intruders had got
ten in the building by some other
way. How this was possible is what
is causing Mr.. Jones much thought.
The property runs through to Ship
ley street and the rear Is square
walls. with windows and doors as the
only means OF entrance. On each oc-
casion these we're found fastened and
showed no signs OF having been tam
nered with or opened. The only solu-
ton was that the thieves got in by
way of the front door using a key.
Acting on this belief after the first
visit Of the robbers. Mr.. Jones had a
Vale lock placed on the door In ad-
dition to the lock already there He
was much surprised upon the second
visit of the intruders and more 50
when they came the third time. On
these occasions neither lock showed
marks Of being forced and to all ap.
pearances they were opened with
keys.

the case. but have not yet been able tc

Opponents Of War Fear the

FEAR ASSAULT ON

By JOHN EDWIN NEyIN.


staff Correspondent of the United
Press.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9. - This
government is today "treRding softly"
but likewise keeping its powder dry"
While the speed of the battleship New
Hampshire has been reduced so that
Special Representative John Lind will
not land at Vera Cruz until late today.
the American representative in Mexico
City is active. Charge D'Affaires o.
Shaughnessey has served notice on the
Huerta government that its attack on
Lind and his mission are an affront to
a peaceful sister-natiOn. And he has
made IL very plain to the Mexican
foreign office, that while it can do as
IL pleases so far as accepting the plan.
Mr.. Lind comes to communicate, it
will be held responsible for any affront
to the man who comes as an attache
of the embassy bearing the unofficial
commission of representative of the
president OF the United States
Despite denials by the State De-
partment. it can be stated as a fact
that Lind's arrival in Mexico has
been pnrpOsely delayed The New
Hampshire has been in touch with
the great Arlington wireless station
ever since II cleared from Galveston.
And Lind is fully advised by mes
sages to him I'm the State Department
cipher which even the officers on the
varship do not understand of just
what has been transpiring in Mexico
City. President Wilson realizes that
in physical courage, at least, Lind is
the equal of the man he has been
sent to confront and will not be de-
TERED from carrying out the task set
by threats of any nature. So Lind
landing in Vera Cruz late today, will
proceed to the capital tomorrow
and on Monday. using Charge
D'Affairs O'Shaughnessy as the me-
dium, will transmit President Will
sons message to Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta-unless someone kills
him in one or the other city on en-
route
Just what will follow Lind's arrival
in Mexico no one here has the faint
est idea The President believes that
his mission will be successful. So
does Secretary Of State Bryan. But
they are alone in that view. The few
United States senators who know the
plan are skeptical And the great
rank and file Of ofhcialdom here to-
day believes the President has made
a mistake and that the danger of war
is very imminent. II the Wilson hopes
prevail many Of his advisors here say
it will be because Of his proverbial
luck
The army and navy are ready for any
thing that may happen. There is sup
pressed activity in the big building
across from the White House executive
offices. Old experienced officials. who
are bitterly opposed to war with Mexico
because they realize that It will prove
n graveyard for many promising reputa-
tions. admit they fear the worst. And
while studied attempt is made to fol
low orders from the White House and
prevent even the show OF war prepara.
tions. the orders for the movements OF

Frank Alderman, manager of the
Foss- Hughes Companys branch in
Wilmington, is preparing to put five
ton Pierce Arrow motor truck in SER
vice between Smyrna and Wilmington
to haul grapes to the Wilmington
markets. Mr.. Alderman is going to
try to solve the problem OF having
products from farms down the state
hauled direct to Wilmington. The
complaint in the past has been that
products from down Delaware are
carried past Wilmington by train and
boat 10 Philadelphia, New York and
Boston markets. The growers OF
lower New Castle, Kent and Susseo
counties generally have summarized
their reply TO these complaints In the
statement that they have been unable
to get as good financial returns from
the Wilmington markets as from the
markets In cities further north. Mr..
Alderman after an investigation of
conditions believes that the motor
truck will solve the problem and will
give the grape growers about Smyrna,
at least, as good returns from the
Wilmington markets as they would re-
ceive in other cities further north, and
he believes that better returns might
be received from Wilmington than
from northern markets with a proper
lco-operation by the commission deal
ers handling the products.
Mr. Alderman has taken the matter
lup with the grape growers about
Smyrna and on Thursday for two
hours he talked over the situation
with members of the Smyrna Grange
at their meeting He interested several
of the growers in a plan for them tc
haul grapes to Smyrna to be loaded
on the five-ton Pierce truck to be
taken to Wilmington
Mr. Alderman also has talked over
the matter with several commission
men in Wilmington who say they viii
handle the grapes and guarantee as
good financial returns from the VIII
mington market as from other mar
kets further north.
Mr.. Alderman will make the first triI
with grapes from Smyrna TO Whining
