While the machinery departments
of all State and County Fairs are
never supposed to interest the city
chap. those in charge of the exhibits
In this department at the Delaware

Perhaps one of the most prominent
suffragists seen out at the fair
grounds today was Miss Mary Conck-
lie, of Wayne, Pa, formerly secretary
Of the local branch of the suffrage
association on Delaware avenue. Miss
Conckle came from Wayne to march
in the suffrage part of the Labor Day
parade.
Well in the foreground Of tents
that are housing various exhibits.
ones eye is Immediately attracted to
a tent of which the main feature is
its immaculateness. This is the
Delaware Hospital tent erected as an
emergency hospital and already it
has proven a necessary and indis-
pensable part of the fair grounds.
Four emergency cases were treated
at the hospital yesterday, one of YER
tigo. one of a badly lacerated hand,
q severe sick headache and a foreign
particle was taken from an eye.
Within this tent are all the neces-
sary hospital supplies including two
cots. A different doctor and nurse
will be in charge each day.
Down a little way from the hospital
tent is the Y W. c. A. display. Here,
too, one IS impressed by the coolness
and comfort of things, Connected
with this tent and directly in back
of it is a rest room where one may
lie down and rest at will, which is
a very splendid addition and one dis
playing much kindly thought on the
Part of the association workers. No
doubt it will prove a boon to tired
mothers and children who come to
spend an entire day at the fair.
In charge of the tent is Miss Fow-
ler, at present the official head Of
the Y. W. c. A., and each day she will
be assisted by other members and
directors of the association.
AS was to be expected, the Buy at
Home League Exhibit" under the
grand stand was the mecca for the
women and all those who stopped
there went away ladened with SOU
venirs. The exhibits embrace most
everything one could think of, rang
ing from fishing tackle and fisher
mems outfits shown by David A. Hay
Company to a display Of silverware
I by Millard f. Davis, the ieweler. This
7 showing of silver wear attracted the
attention of all. two large cases be-
ing filled with the cups and medals,
which have been offered as prizes
at the Fair II was estimated that
the value Of the silverware was close
on to $4,000.
The Forster shoe exhibit located in
booths No. and at the Buy at

lures of the exhibit.
Boy Corn Growers Have Fine Dis
play.
The boys corn club oe New Castle
and Kent have sent in some splendid
exhibits. The majority of the corn
crown by the youngsters is among
the largest ever seen farmers assert,
while the ears are very heavy. The
stalks range in height from 10 to Is
feet and are especially strong. Much
space in the big tent used for the
display is occupied by the corn sec
tion which proves that corn of the
highest quality may be raised in Del

lowed and attention paid the crop.
Discussing the exhibit. Mr. Corbit,
superintendent of the department.
said: "The farming communities of
Delaware have made history for the
state by their exhibits. We have a
tent filled with every sort of farm
product and yet they continue to pour
In. I am confident this display is
among the best ever seen in this sec
ton of the county and fairs held by
larger states. even in Illinois and
other great farming commonwealths
of the Middle West will find it difficult
to equal the display we have.
"The variety of crops, fruit and
vegetables, we are showing, gives
the people an idea of the value of a
Delaware farm. II proves that our
land will produce almost everything
our people need. The display Is
without doubt the best we have ever
had and it will be hard for judges to
make selections because almost all
exhibits are away above the average" 4"

SAYS BURDEN IS
GROWING HEAVY
GOethaIs Feels Weight of Criti-
Cism Heaped Upon Him.
WANTS TO LEAVE ISTHMUS.
Builder Of the Panama Canal, How
ever, Asserts That He Will Not
Leave the Zone Until the
Waterway Is Completed.

Panama--Col George w. Goethals
reiterated emphatically his declaration
that he could not accept the post of
commissioner of police at New York
until after the completion and the sue
cessful operation of the Panama Canal
Even if all the other conditions which
ne has imposed were complied with it
is said this would keep him on the
isthmus for another Is months.
1t is generally believed here that the
agitation in New York to take Colonel
Goethals from the isthmus will have
the effect of fastening action at Wash
ington looking to the establishment of
a permanent government in the Canal
Zone. The Colonel himself makes no
secret of the fact that the delay is
causing him much embarrassment. be-
cause it prevents him from making an
effort to keep men on the isthmus
whom he would like to see in the per-
manent operating organization.
Nor does Colonel Goethels make
secret of his desire to leave the
lStnmus. He makes 1t plain, however,
that he wishes to see his work here
completed and the canal in operation
before he returns to other duties in
the United States. He has told friends
that the burden is growing heavy and
that he has felt the weight of criticism
that has come to his administration
from various quarters.
Speaking OF the commissionership,
Colonel Goethals frankly admitted that
the offer of the New York post had
attracted him until he found obstacles
that would make it impossible for him
to carry into effect reforms which he
might desire to make. His friends
here have strongly advised him against
acceptance of the offer, and it is be-
lieved that their views have had great
weight with him.

PENNSY'S COAL TAX.
Suit Brought To Test ConstitutionaIity
Of the Law.

Harrisburg, Pa.-The first suit TO
test the constitutionality of the anthra-
cite coal tax was begun in the Dauphin
County Court by the Peoples Coal
Company, of Scranton. The bill in
equity filed in the cases contends that
the act is unconstitutional in that it
violates the provision protecting prop
erty.
The act, passed by the last legisla-
ture, provides a tax of two and one
half per cent. on the value of each
ton of coal prepared for market, which
amounts to a little more than five
cents ton. After the law became eff
fective most of the producing com
panies raised the price of coal to meet
the tax. 1t is estimated that the tax
will bring to the State between $4,-
100000 and 100000, half of which
is returned to the anthracite producing
counties for distribution among their
civil divisions according to population.

DICTATOR HUERTA
LOSING GROUND
But Shows No Signs of a Pur'
pose to Eliminate Himself.
MANIFESTS PRIDE IN ARMY.
Estimates 1t At More Than 100000
Appears To Ignore Growing
Financial and Other
Troubles.

Mexico City.-President Huerta be
trays no sign of yielding, although he
is cognizant of the increase in the
strength of his enemies intriguing
within the capital and those in the
field, is handicapped by inability to
procure money and is confronted with
Washington's determination that he
must retire from Mexico's affairs.
Personal and political friends and
the highest officials of the Catholic
Church in Mexico, who have been en-
deavoring by methods for the most
part discreetly indirect to bring about
his elimination, are seemingly con-
vinced that they have failed.
General Huerta talks optimistically
of the outlook, displays pride in the
size of his army. which he estimates at
considerably more than 100000, and
appears to believe that in spite of all
obstacles and reverses he will be able
to dominate the situation within three
months.
II is conceded here that ex-Minister
Flores Magon has failed in his mission
to Mr.. Lind at Vera Cruz and that the
United States will listen to no PROPOSE
ton short of the unconditional elimina-
ton of Huerta
No one, not even President Huerta,
attempts to disguise the fact that the
Mexican treasury is practically empty.
In the capital the Government payrolls
are being liquidated with reasonable
promptness, but it is no secret that the
diplomatic representatives and consuls
abroad in many cases have not been
paid for weeks and that the troops out
side the capital often receive their pay
long after it is due. In most cases
these funds are derived from local
sources; sometimes they are from
forced loans levied on the inhabitants
where the troops happen to be sta
toned.
Extraordinary taxes have been
levied in the capital, as we'll as out
side points, and there are rumors that
other DEGREES are soon TO be issued
that will exact still greater tribute
from the people.
There is little change of importance
In the military situation and the resi-
dents of the capital are expecting that
the rebel chief, General Villa, who has
appeared outside of Torreon, will reach
here at an early date. One of the dis
Quieting developments has been the in
creased number of rebel bands be-
tween Orizaba and Vera Cruz and
south as far as the Isthmus of Tehu-
antepec.
The question as to whether there is
some big directing force behind this
movement is giving the officials at the
palace moments of uneasy speculation.
There are some who believe that Gen
Felix Diaz and General Mondragon, his
chief lieutenant in the uprising in the
capital almost a year ago, are behind
the latest rising.
