ROB churches Of
Sacred VESSELS,
Clue TO theft
Thieves Take Communion
Pieces From St. Johns and
St. Andrews
bishop DELAYED IN
One Solemn SERVICE

Through the act of sacreligious
vandal or vandals, the communion set
at st. Johns p. e. Church and a por-
ton Of the set of ST. Andrews p. E.
Church were removed yesterday
morning. The theft was discovered
at the IL o'clock services at the two
churches. the sets having been used
at the 7.30 o'clock communion ser
vices at both edifces. While the rob
berries are mystifying. the police have
a clue which it is thought will lead
to the recovery of the silverware.
This clue was given by Mrs. Minnie
Jacobs, who noticed a we'll dressed
young white man leaving the church
following the early morning service
with a suit case in his hand
The robberies were the most daring
reported here for some time. The rob
bers can hardly dispose of the silver, as
all the pieces are marked. Those from
st. Johns Church were a memorial gift
from Mrs. Alexis DUPONT in memory OF
her husband The set was of solid sill
yer and lined with gold. The set stolen
consisted of the tankard, two chalices, a
paten or plate. and the pyx. the wafer
box. The silverware cost about 5000
but the sentimental value cannot be
computed, the service having been in Use
for years.
At st. Andrews Church the thief or
thieves secured the tankard and the
platen. the pyx and chalices having
been put away.
Following the first communion SER
vices at 7.3O o'clock yesterday morn
ing in st. Johns Church, Miss Sarah
Palmer cleaned the silverware and re-
placed it on the credence table. The
altar was dressed and after everything
had been placed in readiness for the II
o'clock service, in charge Of the Rt
Rev. Bishop Frederick J. Kinsman, Miss
Palmer left the church. In doing so she
closed the door leading into the sac
risty. the main doors having beer
locked by the caretaker previously
About 1890 O'Clock the Rev. Charlie
Henry Holmead, assistant rector, enter
ed the church and at that time he no
ticed that something was unIiss on rh

of the women members of the churel
had mislaid the communion set and h'

my Democratic opponent did make
some remarks in reply to the Lewes
and Rehoboth Canal matter but he
failed to say that the net results Of
the efforts Of his colleagues and him
self was not a single penny for this
project as it finally passed in the
rivers and harbors bill a short time
ago. It is net results that we are
after and when his party is forced
TO put through a direct tax on the
people. eXcusing 1t on the European
War, and the rivers and harbors bill
is cut down so as to leave out our
Delaware projects il is only right
that he should stand by the net re-
suits. In my speech / did not criticize
his efforts but I did state what was
the final result and the fact that
there is no appropriation this year
will in the end delay the completion
of that project
The deficit existing ia the Ma
tional Treasury of S1OO,0OO,OOO on
July 1, during the first year of the
Underwood Tariff Bill, is exactly
similar to the deficits existing in the
first Cleveland administration as the
result Of other tariff legislation.
Grover Cleveland met his first great
deficit by bond issue and not by q
direct tax on a peaceful people under
the disguise of a War Revenue Bill.
In spite Of their solemn promises
that they would reduce the cost of
living and that twenty-seven articles
Of food, raised by the farmer, were
placed on the free list, has the cost
of living been reduced? You will re-
member that this is the issue upon
which the Democrats gained thous-
ands of men in our own city. In their
appeal for votes in 1910 and 1912. they
cried out against special rules for
the passage of legislation. In the
sixteen years of Republican control
these terrible instruments were only
Used llO times, but in the three years
OF Democratic control they have been
used over five hundred times. The
present Congress OF which my op-
ponent is a member, exceeded in ap-
preparations the last Republican Con-
gress, by over 100000. 900, vet he
won votes two years ago because of
the cry of Republican extravaganza.
j put these questions and these
facts before you today and I have put
them publicly to my opponent in my
recent speeches, but the only reply
drawn forth is the one on the canal.
which have answered before. 1t
would be far better and far more to the
interest Of the voters of this State If
my opponent and his friends would
answer the issues of a campaign.
rather than engage in an endeavor to
send an anonymous letter through the
State on a question which is not at
issue today and for doing which our
opponents should be roundly censured
on election day"

The Turkish ambassador here, in

that Turkey will declare a Holy War

MR.. MILLER ADDRESSES

MEETING AT TODD'S CUT
Lays Blame For Hard Times and Men Out of Work
al Door of Democrats, and Says His Op-
ponenf Has Dodged the Issues
SAYS EUROPEAN WAR AS CAUSE
FOR DEPRESSION is BUT EXCUSE

Thomas W. Miller, Republican oandi-
date for Congress, addressed meeting
Of employees Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road shops at Todd's Cut at noon today.
Mr.. Miller prodded his Democratic OPP
ponent for failing to discuss the spe-
cifc issues and charged that the in
dustrial depression and the throwing of
so many men out of work was due to
the Democratic administration at Wash
ington.
Between 400 and 500 men listened to
Mr.. Miller as he made his address, while
a considerably smaller crowd attended
Democratic meeting addressed by Jo-
seph l.. O'Toole nearby. Mr.. Miller said
in part;
Il thank you men for your interest,
which is evidenced here today by
your presence during your noon hour.
1 regret that it is necessary for me
70 take advantage of publicly meeting
an attack which has been made upon
me through a circular letter, which
was sent broadcast over the State on
Saturday in the mails. This letter
sent out under Democratic auspices,
is an attempt to injure me on account
of the stand that / took last year as a
member of the Board of Pardons in
the case of a man serving a life SEN
tence for the fOulest crime that can
be perpetrated against a woman
do not hesitate to state that l would
take the same action we're the case
to come before me again, regardless of
any political intimidation. / have
never permitted politics TO sway me
in Pardon Board matters. The send
ing out of this circular on a Saturday
and in the closing hours of the cam
paign is contemplate enough, but
when its object is to bring politics in
to a matter so grave as this, it is
worse. If Mr. Brockson. my Demo-
cratic opponent, and his friends. ex-
pect to gain votes in this method. I
am sure that the decent, fair-minded
people Of the State will not stand for
It on Election Day, and the cause he
represents is bound to be injured
rather than helped.
1T will be Of far more interest to the
voters of this State If my opponent
would reply to some of the specific is
sues that / have put up to him. In his
speech in Wilmington, in which he said
hard times among the ship builders and
car builders Of Wilmington were due 20
the European war, he must know by
this time that he was either misin-
formed or that he misinformed us. No
ships for a foreign country have been
built by Harlan's, except the one for the
King of Siam, and it is fifteen years
since Pusey and Jones supplied floating
equipment, and then in South America.
No cars or coaches have been supplied
by Harlan's for a warning nation in
Europe and this firm, together with the
American Car and Foundry, have not
sent any to South America for some
time.

The attempt of the Democrats

The entire household can lay the
responsibility of being alive on the
fact that all had retired with their

With the exception of a few meet
ings to be held throughout the city
and parts of the rural county tonight
by the different parties, the campaign
in Delaware is practically over and
awaits the casting of the ballots by
the voters tomorrow. Republican
leaders we're confident today that
they will elect their Congressional

the county ticket, even with the op-
position of the Progressive ticket.
even with the opposition of the Pro-
gressive ticket. There is a belief in
political circles that in Wilmington
and New Castle county the Progress
siyes viii draw many votes from the
Democrats. Aside from that large
deiiections from the Democratic
ranks are expected because Of the
Industrial depression, which has
come with the return of the Demo-
Gratis TO power at Washington.
