JUDGE SEARLE'S ADDRESS AT
GURNEY OPENING
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is related or a London divine
that he was so frequently called up
on to make speeches that he conceiv-
ed the plan of procuring a substitute,
and he found for that purpose a man
who resembled him in size, features
and voice, and when he was unable
to be present at any function he sent
his substitute with the direction that
in case he were called upon to make
an address, he should simply say, so
much has been said and we'll said
that I have nothing further to add
on this occasion" The plan worked
successfully until the substitute was
called upon to make the first speech
of the evening and then, when he
delivered his customary short ad-
dress, the fraud was discovered.
1t might, however, very appropri-
ately now be said, $50 much has been
said and we'll said that there is moth
ing to add thereto upon this occas-
ion."
The Chief Burgess of our town,
with his usual neat words, has made
the public welcome. He has discours-
ed upon the advantages of Honesdale
as manufacturing place and stated
her present nd future prospects.
Judge Carey has given a very COM
prehensive, full and complete ac-
count of the inception, plan and his
tory of this plant, and certainly
nothing could be added in the line of
his remarks.
My friend, DR.. Greene, has clothed
this very building and shafting and
machinery with eloquence and poe
try, and when he has touched upon a
subject, further words are mere sur
plusage.
1t seems there is little for me to
say except a benediction and so,
therefore, will very briefly refer to
the past, present and future of
Honesdale as an industrial town.
Honesdale was started in 1925
when contracts were let to dig the
d. & H. Canal, and this canal fur
nished employment, in its erection
and construction, to hundreds of men
who later found employment upon
the canal or the gravity railroad or
cleared up land and made farms for
themselves in Wayne county. The
canal was finished in 1928 and the
gravity road in 1929, the coal being
taken over the D. & H. Gravity and
the Pennsylvania Gravity in the win
ter and loaded in the summer, which
made this borough for many years a
busy place, and it was distributing
center for all this part of the coun-
try for merchandise of every kind.
The coal was taken to Roundout
by the canal and many merchants
brought back and carted over the
mountain. to. Carhondales and Scran-

new VICE RULE
CAUSES WOMEN TO
FLOCK HERE

That the vice quarantine establish
ed by the police of Philadelphia, has
had a harmful effect statement
made by Frank Carberino. a special
Federal agent in that city, seems to
be borne out 10 an extent, so far as
its effect upon Wilmington is con-
cerncd. at any rate. The Federal ex-
pert declares that the women driven
out Of the Tenderloin in Philadelphia.
have been forced into unaccustomed
places. He claims that over 400 girls
driven from their places OF abode,
have left Philadelphia. and gone to
Wilmington. Del, Pittsburgh, New
York and Baltimore.
The Federal white slave officer for
Wilmington today said that when he
had heard of the vice quarantine es-
tablishment in Philadelphia. he ex-
pected a big influx OF fallen girls TO
this city. He admits number
came here. in fact. so numerous, that
all the houses OF questionable charac-
ter are filled to their capacity and
some turned the new comers away.
Where they went. he could not eX-
actly say
Yesterday being circus day probably
was an inducement for an unusually
large number Of these women TO pay
Wilmington a visit for quite a number
were seen on streets about the lower
part OF the city
The local white slave officer says he
can keep in touch with such women
as have obtained places in recOg-
nized houses. but he has no way of
learning the identity of those who
have been turned away from these
houses and have taken rooms.
The Government keeps a strict ac-
count Of women Of this class all over
the country Wilmington is In the
Baltimore district and when girl
under the notice of the Government
white slave agents comes here for
instance from another city Baltimore
is notified and the government officer
there Immediately notifies the local
agents. Proprietors Of houses also
arc compelled to notify the local
agent Of any new arrivals of women
inmates and OF any that departs and
10 which city she is going. I'm this
way All such women are constantly
kept under the eye OF the Government
agents With the roomers. however
it is different The local Police De
partment Is trying TO evolve some
scheme by which these women may
be driven from the city.
