MULLEN IS RETAINED.
Kraft Was Chesty Over Recent VIC
tory But Did Not Get BY.

New York, July 24.-Ffrst Baseman
Clarence Kraft will not play with the
Yankees. President Farrell has sent
him back to the Newark club Of the
International league and SO things are
Just as they were before the talk Of a
players strike and the settlement
thereof.
Kraft reported to President Farrell
at the Yankees office bringing with
his the Newark contract which Farrell
had agreed to assume in all its condi-
tons Kraft, however. had several
additional ideas of his own, and these
the Yankee chief could not agree to
under the baseball law. Therefore the
first baseman was told to go back to
the Newark club and Farrell sent word
to Charles H. Ebbetts that the Kraft
deal was off.
Kraft was to have taken Mullen's
place. Mullen came here recently
from Lincoln of the Western league.

increase the net receipts? Nick Mad

good baseball for him, but will
Peaches Graham get the same re-
suits from the club? II he does, the

one, but If he fails, 1t will not as the
attendance will be reduced and the club
will lose more than the salary of the

NO license This YEAR
FOR DOUGLASS House

The Law and Order Society
through Caleb +. Burchenal, in Cen
eral Sessions Court today opposed
the granting of a liquor license to
William f. Turner, colored, for the
Douglass House in French street.
Deputy Clerk Of the Peace John l..
Wright testified that at the September
term of court, 1913 license of the
house was refused to George Thigh
man.
Philip L. Garrett representing Tur-
ner argued that a license is. granted
to a place for the accommodation of
the travelling public.
Mr.. Garrett said Turner has lived in
this hotel for year and that he has
kept hotels in Atlantic City and Cam
den, n. j.
The chief of police of Atlantic City
and Excise Board of Camden, n. j., gave
letters of recommendation TO Turner,
who for years conducted places in those
cities without complaint.
Mr.. Garrett added that the colored
travelling public needs place here where
they can be accommodated.
Mr.. Burchenal argued that under the
two-yoar clause the license could not
be granted.
The court said that in this case thu
owner should have taken notice of tn
disorder in the Douglass House wheI
Tilghman was the tenant. The applica
ton was then refused, the court .ex
planning that the two-yoar law should
apply in this case.

COURT RE-COMMITS BOYS
TO The ferris SCHOOL

In Superior Court today the habeas
corpus cases Of Raymond and An
drew August were calle1 for argu-
ment. James Salisbury, counsel for
the boys, said they had been con-
victed by the Juvenile Court and
committed to the Ferris Reform
School," the corporate title of the
institution. Mr.. Salisbury argued
that inasmuch as there is no such an
institution in Delaware as the Ferris
Reform School" the commitment
was illegal. The Court. however,
ruled against Mr.. Saulsbury's con-
tention.
Mr.. Salisbury then called Mrs. En-
ma August. mother Of the boys, who
said Raymond would be II years Of
age on January 16, 1915.
Mr.. Salisbury then argued that
under the charter of the Ferris In
dustrial School the institution was
prohibited from admitting boys not
under years or over 16 years Of age
William S. Lyman, representing the
State, argued that the law creating
the Juvenile Court gave it power 10
commit boys over 10 to the reforma-
tory.
The court then refused the motion
to discharge, holding that the Juven-
lie Court law enlarged the powers OF
the Industrial School The boy was
accordingly sent back to the school
Mr. Salisbury asked that exceptions
to the rulings of the court be noted
for what they are worth and the mo-
ton was granted

SINGERS
DELIGHT THOUSANDS
D Ella are Saengerbund
Thrills in Concertat Wash
ington Heights
TURNER CLASSES
ON THE PROGRAM

German citizens contributed much
to the success of "old Home Week"
festivities last night, when several
hundred members Of the Delaware
Saengerbund and the Wilmington
Turngemeinde marched through the
streets and later gave splendid con-
cert at Washington Heights
Much interest was added to the ex-
ercises at the Heights by The calisthen-
les Of boys and girls. members Of
classes in the Turngemeinde. A May
pole drill was enthusiastically cheered
by the crowd of three thousand per
sons.
The two societies reached the
Heights about s o'clock and immedi-
ately took places assigned them on
the stand. The concert opened with
an overture by the Municipal Band af-
ter which the chorus sang: "Das list
der Tag des Herrn." Einsiedler an die
Nacht, "Old kentucky Home" "Wo
Buesche steh'n und Baeume,' "Wie's
daheim war;" Soldiers Farewell"
The crowd enjoyed every minute of the
singing which was under direction OF
Professor Otto Wenzcl.
Following the concert and drills by the
Turn Glasses, the Saengerbund and Tur-
gemcinde held receptions at their re.
spectivc clubhouses.
Ninth ward residents have cntere.
into the spirit OF "Old Home Week" for
many residences there are decorated
with flags and bunting, and not few
brilliant electric lights were to be seen
The population of the entire section OF
the city north of Washington street
bridge must have turned out last even
ing to assure the success Of the ex-
ercises and thus contribute their share
toward making "Old Home Week" a rec
letter event for Wilmington.
The singing undoubtedly showed the
talent OF the Saengerbund members
while the drills by the Turner's took
the crowd by storm. The singing OF
sold Kentucky Home and Soldier:
Farewell was especially well received
and both songs struck a popular chord
