BREAKS FROM
MARSHALL ON
PRISON TRIP
VaSSO, Held on White Slavery
Charge, Makes Getaway
Despite Gun Shots
POLICE HOPE TO
ROUND UP FUGITIVE

Arrested here yesterday afternoon
as an alleged white SLAYER, william
vasso, aged 25 years, of Philadel-
phia. made a successful dash for
liberty while standing at the corner
of Sixth and West streets waiting for
a Brandywine Springs car that was
to take him to the workhouse, where
he was to have been imprisoned in
default of bail pending the meeting
of the federal grand jury, to which
his case was TO have been submitted.
Vasso was in the custody of Deputy
United States Marshal John Mitchell
at the time of his escape. which he
accomplished despite the fact that a
rain of bullets was sent in his wake
by Mr. Mitchell. who was taken com
pletely by surprise by the sudden
action of the prisoner. The police
were notified of The escape and it is
believed that Vasso will be recap
tured within a short time, as every
avenue leading from the city is close
I ly guarded Satisfied that The fugi-
/ tive is still in Wilmington, the police
hope to soon round him up.
At the instigation of Charles W

district. Vasso was taken In custody
| in this city yesterday afternoon. n
being the first arrest under the Mann
act It is alleged that Vasso brought
Elizabeth Ascents. aged % years.
from Philadelphia to this city, on
August 2S for immoral purposes.
From the woman's own statement
to the government agents it was
learned that she had been first in a
house on the east side of the city, and
then in a house on Orange street, ana
later in one on Shipley street.
Following his arrest yesterday, Nassa
was taken before United States Commits
sioner William 6. Mehaffy, who held the
prisoner for the Federal grand jury and
fixed bail at $1,000, in default of which
he was committed to the workhouse.
Although she testified against Nasso
the Ascent girl was very reluctant about
saying anything that would incriminate
him. and when she found that he would
have to 60 to the workhouse she created
a scene. Weeping bitterly, she declared
she would leave the city and not appear
to testify against Nasso at his trial. The
authorities then determined to send heI
to the workhouse, to be held as a wit
mess in the case. Nasso was then taken
in charge by Deputy Mitchell, while
Deputy Ralph l. Finn took the girl, and
lthev walked to Sixth street to board q
Springs car. Agreeing not TO get on al
the same corner, which would attract at
tention, Mr. Mitchell took his prisoner e
Sixth and West streets to wait for th'
car. Vasso walked nhandcuffed at th'
} marshals side the latter never dreamin;
that an attempt would be made to elud

CHILDRENS' PARADE


To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOUR
NAL.
Sir: / have been attending the differ
ent conventions of our W. c. 4. L. for
a great many years past. with the ex-
eeption of Wilmington and have never
been to one yet without having the
schools turning out with both scholars
and teachers. The temperance question
is a moral issue OF today, and we must
educate our young to a higher standard
OF morality, which is SO greatly needed
in our city. 1t seems as though there
should not be one voice of dissent in the
Board of Education of granting the re-
quest of the W. c. I. U. One would
suppose that the entire board Of honor
able members would be ready and will
ing TO cooperate with our Temperance
work ers, to the uplifting of the children
to a higher plais Of morality; it will
most surely fit them better for their
studies. Our motto is, For God, Home
and Native Land" We are a band OF
Christian women united together in
Christian love to fight the saloon, and
all places of vice and iniquity under all
circumstances. Therefore, the honorable
member of the Board of Education has
made a mistake and also given an insult
by calling our organization a political
one. OF course we are trying to get
votes but we will get them honestly.
The power of the Lord is greater than
man and the day is coming when we will
give the honorable DR.. Cooper a chance
to see how we stand and what we stand
for, by casting a clean, pure ballot for
the protection of our homes.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
MARKET SITUATION

The Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL.
Sir:-I am studying how to please
the public in a short defamation on
the welfare of our farmers street
markets.
First, let it be clearly understood
that the street markets are for farm
ers only, or such persons that raise
or produce all that exposed for sale
at their stands. All who do not do
this are not entitled to space in the
market, and ought to be fined or inn
prisoned for their dishonesty. / hope
no one is disgusted at me for my
plain statement As l am only try
ing to show you the condition of the
farmers street markets for your
own benefit and protection, | suggest
the following rules You may see
for yourself how much better our
farmers market would be if they
were adopted:
l. Move the market from King
street to French street so the farm
ers may be clear of the underselling
merchants, and venders, also inter-
ference by the trolleys.
2. Let both markets be made into
one and run on French street from
Front to about Sixteenth or Seven
teenth street. The Madison street
market should be discontinued.
8. Let the time be extended from
p. m, to $50 p. m, except on
special occasions such as holidays
when no exact time should be set
a. All venders, merchants. ped
dlers, and hucksters should be barred
from using the market
5. All traffic should move south
on market days during the market
hours.
g. The market days should be
Tuesday and Friday afternoons. com
mencing at 1.3O p. m, and continuing
until late al night
7. For the benefit of the mer-
chants, wholesale market be
held on Tuesday and Friday morn
ings.
8. The market should move from
one side Of the street to the other
the same as il does now.
9. Each farmer should be made
clear his space Of all the dirt he
makes before leaving it,
10. No farmer should have his
stand longer than the width of his
wagon and it should not extend
farther than three and one-half feet
from the curbstone
H. The price for the spaces should
remain as IL is now.
12 The market be under officers tC
see if these rules are obeyed
Hoping this information may be o
much interest to all who read it,
remain,
Yours gracefully,

NO INTEREST IN ELECTION

Mexico City-With the elections a
few days off and three candidates in
the field for the presidency. there ap-
pears to be no interest. There is no
speechmaking, no parades, no banners
only a few posters announcing the sew
eral candidates.
The newspapers have paid little at
tention to the approaching elections.
printing only occasional deprecatory
articles directed chiefly against the
validity OF the candidacy of FREDERICK
Gamboa, nominated by the Catholic
party.
There Is no reason to expect results
of the balloting will be finally decided
until weeks after the elections. The
law provides that the ballots must be
counted and the results announced by
Congress. There is now no Congress
in Mexico and there will be none until
new members are elected coincident
with the presidential election. 1t, there
fore. would seem that members-elect
of the Senate and Chamber of Depu
ties must be inducted and these bodies
organized before the ballot boxes can
be opened.
