"YECG" ON STATE
TRIP GETS PAPERS
FROM THIS safe
Tow send Merchant, Rob-
bed Before, Saves His
Money This Time
DETECTIVES ARE ON The
TRAIL OF The CRACKER

Sometime during last night a ''yegg-
man" entered the office OF Daniel b.
Alaloney, lumber and hardware mer-
chant. at Townsend, and robbed the
safe of many legal and other papers of
value only to Mr.. Maloney.
Profting by his experience of last
summer, when his sale was blown open
and robbed of $500. Mr.. Maloney had
left the door of the strong box unlocked
since then, and left no money inside of
it. He deposits his money in bank at
the close of each days business.
The robbery is believed to be the
work of a ''yegg' who tried to force
open the safe in the Majestic Theatre
Office in this city during Wednesday
night. The craftsman is now believed
to be on a trip down the Peninsula.
Postmasters and merchants can take
warning from the Wilmington and
Townsend robberies, and leave no valu-
ables in their safes over night. Mean
while detectives are on the trail of the
50 breaker.
Entrance to Mr.. Maloneys Office
was had by opening a window. Some
merchants have placards on their
safes announcing that the door is not
locked. There was no such notice on
the door of Mr.. Maloney's safe, al
though it was unlocked.
The drawers inside the safe we're
locked. however, but the robber pried
them open. He found no money, but
one drawer contained some deeds
policies of insurance on Mr.. Maloney's
life and some fire insurance policies
on his properties. The drawer with
its contents was carried away.
Mr.. Maloney this morning said no
clue had been left by the thief, noT
had any trace been found of the stolen
papers which are not negotiable and
of no value to anybody but Mr.. Ma
loney. He can obtain duplicates OF
the stolen papers, which would can
eel the originals. Mr.. Maloney said
no explosive was left by the ''yegg.'

Mostly the defendants refused TO

dent of the company, in which a
verdict of 100000 was given the

morning an agreement was read au-
thorizing the retaining of the attor-
neys and specifying the compensation
they we're to receive, which was 70

sum recovered.
James /. Boyce represents the
plaintiffs and John p. Nields and VIII
liam S. IIilles the defendants.
At the afternoon session of court
yesterday United States Senator VIII
lard Salisbury was called to the
stand for a short time to testify TO
the value of the services of the at
tOrneys In the chancery suit Senator
salisbury. who is one of the plaintiffs
in the case, testified that the firm had
been engaged as counsel for the
American Vulcanized Fibre Company
in the case in the Court of Chancery
under the agreement which had al
ready been given in evidence. The
Senator then described the great
amount of work that was necessary
TO properly conduct the case, II taking
many days of work TO prepare the
evidence.
He said that he had held several
conferences with Mr.. Selfridge, one
of the plaintiffs who is a member oi
the Boston bar, at Washington, In re
lation to the case, and that he hac
conferred about the case with Mr
Morris on numerous occasions while
in this city. He also mentioned thai
there was able counsel on the other
side, and that 1t took much hard worl
to win the case. The Senator said
that If they had had the cooperation
of the defendant company IN the cas-,
in the Court Of Chancery he believed
the verdict would have been for dou.

fore have been entitled 10 twice as
much as they are asking the present

that the services of the attorneys in
the case were really worth $4,000 in
stead of $4,000. and that he believed
the fee should have been $4,000. 1t
was not the fault of the counsel, he
said that the amount recovered was
100000 instead of 100000.

MISSIONARIES
EpiSCOpalianS Hear That
Too Much of Uplift Work
is Left to the Clergy
Captain Wilson new
Head OF Church Club

More aggressive and effective mis-
sionary and social service work by
the Episcopal laity and a closer rela-
ton and better understanding be-
tween the Episcopal Church and the
toiling masses were the dominant
notes struck by the speakers last
night at the tifty-third semi-annual
dinner of the Church Club Of Della
ware. It was held in the delightful
environment of the Wilmington Coun-
try Club and was attended by many
men, clerics and laymen, who are
prominent in church and social ser
vice work in this State and Pennsyl-
vania. The feeling seemed to be that
the laymen leave to the clergy en-
tirely too much of the missionary and
the social service work that must be
done and that each layman should be-
come in his daily life a missionary
and a social service worker. The
speakers were heartily applauded at
frequent intervals.
Captain Horace Wilson who had
been elected president of the club at
a business meeting held earlier in the
evening, presided. He thanked the
members heartily for the honor that
had been conferred upon him. The
speakers we're the Rt Rev. Frederick
J. Kinsman, Bishop of the Diocese of
Delaware; the Rt Rev. T. G. Gar
land, Suffragan Bishop Of the Dio-
cese of Philadelphia; Clinton Rog-
ers Woodruff, Esq, Of Philadelphia.

workers and students Of municipal

copal layman, and the Rev. r. w.

city to be the rector of st. Andrews

PENNSY Gets RIGHT TO
Build TEMPORARY BRIDGE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
LEWEs, Del. May 22.-At the pub
lie hearing in the Town Hall yester-
day held by Major E. n. Johnston,
engineer for this district, to con-
slider the application of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to construct a tenn
porary bridge across Lewes Canal, at
Lewes, it was decided by the citizens
10 grant the permission on conditions
that the bridge should be removed at
any time required by the Richards
Dredging Company or the Govern
ment to allow their boats to pass
through and that it should be taken
up by December 81. 1914 at which
time a drawbridge would be erected
should the canal be completed.
Providing the canal is completed
at that time necessitating sail boats,
schooners and large barges going
through, the temporary bridge will be
left down and the drawbridge erect
ed at cost of 1000, but which will
be capitalized at $4,000. Should the
canal not be completed by May. 1915,
or some time later, the railroad com
pany will then ask for permission to
again put down the bridge until such
time as the canal is finished when
they will erect their draw.
Another meeting is to be held in
January at which time this question
will be taken up again.
The Government was represented
at the meeting by Major e. n
Johnston and George Miller of the
Wilmington office in this district
while Mr.. Johns, division freight
agent, and John Biggs. attorney for
the railroad, represented the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. Among
those who spoke from Lewes were:

Meanwhile, army officials following

sons for a new trial in the case. The

Glasgow, Del, will testify that he was
standing in the public road in front OF
the house of Delaware Reed and saw
Mrs. Mckinney come running out OF
the back part OF the house and run
into the public road short time af-
ter the shots were fired; that the part
of the testimony given by Bertha Hug
gins, a witness called on the part OF
the State at the last trial, in which
she said that Mrs Mckinney had said
81 told you / would do IL, I told YOU
/ would do it," was not true, and that
Mrs. Mckinney had said no words "a
that effect.
That it was not for want of due
diligence that the defendant did not
produce this testimony IN time for
the trial.
Fourth. "That the defendant was
surprised by the testimony given at
the trial by one, Frank Brown, a wit
ness on the part Of the State. to the
effect that Mrs. Mckinney had said TO
her mother, Emma c. Reed, L killed
him, / fixed him now That Mrs.
Mckinney did not know the witness
would give such testimony, that the
testimony is false, and that It has
come to her knowledge since the trial
that the said Frank Brown had stated
to one Harry X. Armstrong as fol-
lows:
81 heard the noise at the Reed
house and thought il a shame that
men should stand near and let Reed
murder that woman and that Frank
Brown threatened said Harry X.
Armstrong that we will put you in a
hole unless you testify at the trial of
the State of Delaware VS. Elizabeth
l. Mckinney that you we're standing
in the corner of the field next to
Reeds house on Sunday afternoon
during the disturbance and that on
account Of the noise you turned and
went away and that this noise in the
house was before Delaware Reed
came home
THAT It was not for want of due
diligence that the defendant did not
produce this testimony in time for the
trial"
