Has DELAWARE CRY CHANGED MUCH
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

Has DELAWARE CRY CHANGED MUCH
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
The extent and influence of the
religious teaching of any commun-
ity, is always an important factor
in its development and progress.
And in this line Delaware City has
been active in her efforts which
have been directed to improve and
increase the opportunities of the
people for attending religious SER
vices, neither in this line have any
efforts been spared to keep abreast
of the times. Although the Metho'
dist, Presbyterian and Episcopal
congregations have long had sub
stantial and suitable churches,
they have each improved and built
additions to them within the last
s-rzS Hry '1ive years by attaching
convenient annexes to the main
buildings for Sunday school pur-
poses. The Sunday school room
Of the Methodist church is in every
wayla creditable building and suit
able not only for Sunday school
purposes, but also for general pur-
poses in connection with church
work such as entertainments, sup
pers, festivals, different society
meetings, sociablc affairs and
lectures. The same can be said of
the S. S. room of the Presbyterian
church which has lately undergone
Improvements along special lines.
The Parish house in connection
with the Episcopal church building
used for Sunday school purposes
and other church affairs, has also
beer lately put in good repair, and
although church services are now
held there bi-weekly, the Sunday
school under the dictatorship of
William B. Jester is weekly and
regular in its sessions and also well
managed and interestingly con-
nucted, attractive to the scholars
who are steadily increasing in
membership. The Catholic con-
gregation for a long time maintain
ed q small brick church and were
the last of the four different con-
gregations to abandon the small
anti-modern constructed edifice,
for modern one of elegant pro-
portions which in every way is
crcditable to the members and a
valuable addition to the spirit Of
improvement that is so commend
ably showing itself in this town.
The Catholic congregation here is
also active in behalf of the success
and prosperity of the orphanage
and school which for several years
has been established near Reybold
station, and where the Father Of
this parish resides. 1t is here hat
many boys are being cared for and
whose tender years are carefully
watched over by devoted guardians
in order that these youths may be
correctly started along the uncer'
tain pathway of life. Although
there is yet pleuty of building
room within the cooperate limits
of Delaware City, gradually the
vacant spaces are being utilized
for building purposes and s'ibstan

Writ of Habeas Corpus Granted-=Alleged

New York. Jan, 3.--rhe federal courts
were invoked, today in behalf of CT
priano Castro and writ OF habeas
corpus was granted to bring him be-
before a judicial tribunal which may
determine the cause of his detention at
this port. 1t was alleged in the appli-
cation that the former President Of
Venezuela was being illegally held at
the immigration station on Ellis is
land where he has been detained since
his arrival, last Tuesday. and the
court will be asked to sustain the
writ and thus set MIN at liberty to

is returnable, on Jan. 70, before Fed
eral Judge Holt, who granted 1t, to-

Castro, Immediately upon finding his
right to land WAS being questioned,
had decided to return voluntarily To
Europe and engaged passage on the
steamer Amerika, sailing, tomorrow,

soon as he learned the writ had been

Washington, Jan. 3.-The restora

enactment of legislation for the elm
ination from the United States army
of unfit officers are among the prin
eipal recommendations of Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff of
the army, in his annual report made
public, today. General Wood like
wise recommends the concentration
of the army on strategic lines and in
areas where it can be more eoonom-
ically maintained, and would trans
fer all the personnel of the staff
corps-excepting engineers, medical
officers and chaplains--to the line,
increasing accordingly the number of
general officers and line officers in the
different grades.

Tested at Indianapolis in committing
the defendants TO prison.
The writ was issued largely on the
point raised by the defence that the
iron workers We're convicted of a con-
tinuing offcnce-a conspiracy to com
nit offences continuously.
In fixing the amount of bail the
court was influenced by the fact that
the offences are not extraditable. Judge
IL he THE oil
court ut Indianapolis, was authorized
t. pass on the bonds offered. District
Attorney Miller of indianapolis, Who
represented the government at today's
proceedings. stated that the bonds OF
surety companies probably would be
acceptable, but that the surety must
schedule in proper twice the amount
of the bond.
A basis of $4,000 for each years sem
tence was used by the court in fixing the
amount of the bonds. As Ryan was sen
fenced to serve seven years, his bond
was fixed at $4,000 and the same ratio
was preserved throughout for the others
convicted.
Judge Baker said in commenting on the
errors alleged by the defence against the
trial court:
I'm this case, the writ of error is an
absolute right: writ of supersedeas is
not an absolute right 1t has been the
practice of federal criminal prosecution,
however, to allow wrts of supersedeas TO
release prisoners on bail until the case is
finally decided on review.
"While the judgment of the trial court
presumably is correct, yet there is pos
sibility of substantial error-error so great
that a conviction should not be sustain
ed. For that reason defendants should
not be subjected to Imprisonment while
the cases are being reviewed and writs
