DELAWARE
POSTMASTERS
Name Of Mr.. BeaStOn for
MiddIetOwn Office Goes
to Senate Today

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON d. c., Feb. A.
President Taft today sent to the Sem
ate for confirmation the name Of Wal
ter Beaston for Postmaster at Middle
town. Del Other names recommended
to the President for approval but
which have not yet been sent to the
Senate, are:
New Castle-George w Vantine.
Smyrna Thomas jefferson.
Seaford-Irwin NJ. Chapman.
Laurel-Frank f. Davis
Milton-JOhn r. Black.
No name was sent in for the post
mastership for Milford because of the
failure of the members of the Della
ware delegation to agree The names
of all of the postmasters would have
been recommended TO the President
months ago had it not been for the
hitch over the appointment at Mil
ford.
II is feared that the other names
will reach the Senate too late for con-
flrmation, and these offices, which
rightly belong to Republicans, ar,
likely to fall to Democrats when the
new administration comes in AT a
Democratic caucus a few days ago
it was decided 10 fight all connrma.
tions except those for the army navy
and diplomatic corps and for that rea.
son very little hope is held out foi
the confirmation of the Delaware ap
pointees.

AN APOLOGY FROM
OGDEN HOWARD

The Ogden Howard Co., wishes to
apologize to the people Of Wilmington
and vicinity for not being able to ac-
commodate them on last Saturday
during the busiest hours of the day.
This progressiyo firm opened their
February Sale on that day and the
rush of eager shoppers was so great
that many of them could not be wait
ed on. Although Og;len Howard Co,
had an extra force of salespeople IN
attendance the result from the an
nouncement in the various papers
was so great that even this extra
force could not cope with the enor-
nous crowd. Ogden-Howard also
wishes to announce that in the future
an ample number of salespeople viii
always be on hand and they hope that
those who could not be waited ON last
Saturday will come back this week.

George HORNE was out getting over
the crossbar in the high jump placed
at a height of better than SIX feet
from mother earth. Horine is the
worlds record holder in the high jump
and his name Is known from one end
of the globe to the other. The great

famous who was out today was John
Case, the hurdler, who took fourth
place In the Olympic worlds cham
pionships at Stockholm last year.
Case Is former University of ILL.,
nois athlete and looks to be in great
shape for the hurdles events. Yester-
day he went over a full flight of
sticks and showed splendid form and
world of speed. He is one of the
prettiest timber toppers that has ever
been seen at the stadium track and
the race in these events should be be-
tween Case and Fred Kelly of Los

Another athlete of note training

ter the hurdles and looks to be sure
of place. Eddie is not in the best
shape possible. and only last week
got out of q sickbed. He Is determined
to enter the meet and do his best.
but his recent sickness has pulled him
down somewhat. He is being coached
along by Walter Christie, and under
his tutelage should be abe to so con-
serve his energies that he will show
to advantage, even though he is not
in high class shape.
PASTTME STAR WORKS HARD

round athlete of the Pastime club, is
another lad working hard Hoenisch
will enter various events, but will
make his big fight in the $50 yard

broken the two minute mark.

spring and ran second, two yards be-
hind a new worlds interscholastic

and giving Morris four yards and
other athletes handicaps up to six

dred in 10 1-5 seconds. Holway won
