BY J.P. WINTRUP
Boy Scout of Troop 9
Makes Highest Record
in Prone Position
COUTMOORESCORES47 AZ
IN STANDING POSITION

Two new records were hung up at
rifle practice yesterday afternoon, one
of which may be equalled but cannot be
beaten. This one was a perfect score,
made in the prone position, by Scout
j. P. Wintrup, of Troop 0, and is the
first possible that has been made TO
date. The other record was score of
AZ in the standing position, made by
Scout Thomas B. Moore, Of Troop T..
Moore was also high man for the day,
with a total score of 05. This total ties
the record made last week by Connor,
Of Troop IL, but owing to the fact that
Moore's score in the standing position
outranks Connor's, his total takes pre-
cedence.
Quite q few of the Scouts present
were on the range for the first time. but
these were taken in hand by the coaches
of the various troops and were soon
making bulls and fours.
In a short time team and individual
matches will be held, as the scouts are
past the preliminary stage in rifle shoot
ing and are competent TO shoot in COM
petitions. Two silver cups have already
been secured, one for teams of six and
the other for individual craftsmanship
Efforts are being made to secure a
gallery range in the city in order that
the boys may continue rifle practice
during the fall and winter.
Following are the scores made yes.

at the appointed hour and as each man
presented his time check he received a
check for the amount due him. In a
number of cases the men lost no time

CALLED ON TO PAY $40 fine
FOR DISORDER IN House

Peter Hudzik was before City Court
today on charge of allowing people to
behave in a disorderly manner in his
house, No. 2l0 Liberty street.
Philip l.. Garrett raised the point that
the defence should be informed as to
the nature of the disorderly manner
Judge Churchman ruled that notice OF
the character of the disorderly conduct
should be in the information.
The information was amended to the
effect that the persons cursed, swore and
made loud noises in the house 2l0 Lib
erty street, after 10 o'clock at night.
Frances Lacinska was the first wit
ness and she testified that last Satur-
day night there was considerable noise
in the defendants house. The police
came at midnight but the people kept up
the shouting, singing and general noise
until after 3 o'clock. Two weeks ago a
similar disturbance took place.
Officer Jakubowski testified that OF
Saturday night he went to the house
and notified the defendant that he must
stop the disorder Two hours later tn,
defendant and his wife and anOthe
couple were in the house making enough
noise to be heard a square away. Five
other Polish witnesses gave similar tes
timOny as to loud noises in the house.
Mr.. Garrett moved for the dismissal
Of the case on the ground that the
information was faulty. The motion
was refused. Hudzik testified thai
he did not tolerate people TO create
disorder in his house last SATURDAY
night. He denied that he and hi
wife had a fight. His wife gavl
similar testimony. Five other Pole
denied that there was disorder at thu
stand.
Mr.. Garrett again contended tha
there was no allegation that the de
fendant kept a 6isorderly house.
Judge Churchman ruled there wal
nothing in the contention. A fine o
500 and costs was imposed.
The case will be appealed to the up
per court

CHAMBER OF commerce
AS BODY NOT TO PARADE

President ]. ]. Satterthwait of the
Chamber of Commerce has sent the
following letter to it's members:
To the Members of the Chamber
of Commerce, Wilmington,
Del.
Gentlemen: The impression
seems to have gotten abroad from
some statements made in the
press of this city, and from let
ters published by irresponsible
parties, that the Chamber of Com
merce was intending 10 parade on
Labor Day in company with a
strictly LABOR Union Organiza-
tion.
While it is true that certain
merchants of this city who hap
pen to be members of the Mer-
camille Section of the Chamber Of
Commerce, deem il advisable to
take part in a section of this par
ade, in order to encourage the
management of the Delaware
State Fair, which opens on that
day, yet this movement was start
ed without the knowledge or au-
thOrity of the Board of Directors
of the Chamber of Commerce.
While the Chamber of Com
merce. as a body. has no reason
to criticize any of our people who
desire to enter a parade of this
kind, yet the Board, at a meeting
held after the misunderstanding
was created, expressed themsel-
yes that it was highly important
that the Chamber Of Commerce,
as an organization, should stand
absolutely neutral as to the ques-
ton of unionism or non-unionism
in any of the walks of life, since
they consider that this is a ques-
tion that cannot be discussed or
acted upon by the members as a
whole, or the Board of Directors,
for the same reason that they
cannot discuss politics or relig-
ion.
Except for the reason that your
officers have been criticized by a
great many citizens and members
from all sections of the Chamber
for allowing the impression, as
above referred to, to be spread
broadcast. this letter would not
have been written.
Very truly yours,
Jno. j. Satterthwait.
President.

August 10, 1914.

Der of Commerce, Wilmington, Del:

is now pending in the United States
Senate. To overcome belief existing
in many quarters that business men
are Indifferent to this vicious meas
ure, and to assist in securing illumi-
mating debate, will you not immed-
lately request and urge your mem-
bers to make determined and persist
ent protest against il to your Senator's
and to ask their associates to do like
wise. Immediate action is imperative.

FIGHTING ON DESPITE
"CHECK" OF GERMANS
By ED L. KEEN,

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
LONDON. Aug. 15-Italy and Japan
held the attention of Britain today.
The situation was tense in both coun-
tries Italy's curt refusal to permit
Austria to violate her neutrality to
send reinforcements to Germany
through Italian territory has intensi-
fed the feeling between the two coun-
tries. Japanese advices all agree
that the government is being pressed
to come to the defense of England
and to take possessions Of all of the
German colonies in the Far East
Meanwhile the situation in Belgium
and along the Lorraine-Aisace from
tiers continues acute. The German
army is pushing forward against the
Belgian cavalry screen along a battle
front that extends from northeas. OF
Diest far down into Belgian Luxem-
burg. 1t is admitted that severe
fighting is in progress at number of
points despite the confident declara-
ton of the War Office at brussels
that "the German advance has been
checked"
The War Office here, through the
official press bureau made a signif-
cant admission when is said there
were plenty Of indications that the
Germans were trying 10 penetrate the
left wing of the allies.
Previously a despatch from Brus-
sells had shown that this movement
was in progress south by east Of Ant
werp and 1t is now admitted that the
great battle of the war, which will
decide whether Germany is to con-
tinue her march on France through
Belgium or must drop back and try to
find another gateway, is beginning. II
will last many days before it will be
possible to say on whose banner vic.
/ tory is to perch.
All of the English war experts unit'
in worning Britains not to expect too
much. They point out the wonderful
efficiency of the German infantry. now
coming into real action for the first time
and declare initial reverses win no
spell ultimate defeat.
Meanwhile, the French advanc
through the Vosges continues with tn
Germans driven from all of the impor
tant passes.
