FAIR LUNA
HIDES FACE
She Was to Eclipse and
Eclipse She Did in Full
View
WILMINGTON HAD FINE
VIEW OF PHENOMENON

After threatening with feminine in
consistency to 90 back on the prom
ises Of astronomers and the expecta-
tions of the residents of Wilmington,
the moon that hovered over the city
last night showed herself in eclipse.
She was not supposed to make such
d display OF herself Ter the weather
bureau man had sent out word earlier
in the day that though the eclipse
would be on hand Il was almost a
ioregouo conclusion that Wilmington
ians would not see the phenomenon
because of clouds. The fact that the
eclipse was visible to people IN this
city was one Of the surprising things
According 10 the predictions. the
moon was to lave been hidden by
snow clouds and II was 10 have been
an impossibility for anyone to get a
peep through that curtain. But the
night that was supposed 10 bring con-
tnnCJ snow and damp, disna', dreary
conditions turned to rather gala at
fair, with the moon at times shining
brilliantly and tne air reminding one
Of Pr ing.
II was 9.51 o'clock when the noon
started into eclipse. At that tilie II
was lard to see how her lunar ma
iesty was acting. Some clouds he
came refractory end yelled a par of
the moon for a few minutes, malS 'ng
Il impossible for the average person
to tell whether IL was a dark spot on
the moon at which he was looking
or whether the moon was trying to
hide herself in the haziness of that
period Of the night
About 10 o'clock things changed for
the better and at about 1890 those on
the streets had a good chance TO see
the moon in semi-eclipse.
Then the big. black spot spread and
spread until az 1112 o'clock there
could be seen only one bright section
on the northeastern rim. The eclipse
started in the southwestern corner
OF the moon. Despite the fact that
the storm clouds interfered at times,
the eclipse was worth viewing, and
thousands on the streets lifted their
eyes to the heavens to see the sight.
From 11.12 o'clock until about 11.17
the moon was in nine-tenths eclipse
Then Il began to come slowly from out
of the shadow. the eclipse passing of
entirely at 1914 o'clock this morning
The eclipse lasted hours and SO
minutes. IL was visible throughout
most parts OF North and South Ameri,
ca, Western Europe and Western
Africa. Wilmington on account OF the
weather conditions was one Of the
least-favored places.
The eclipse came at tho end of day
that started out as If the city would be
buried under snow. That snow did not
live up to expectations. much Of il
melting before IL struck the ground
making things decidedly unpleasant
for those on the streets. Altogether
the precipitation amounted 10 a littl,
more than two inches. The minimum
temperature was IS degrees early il
the afternoon.

LOSE THEIR APPEAL
IN CONSPIRACY CASE
Conviction of Sentence of Trio
for Fletcher Divorce "Frame
Up" Affirmed by Court.

The conviction and sentence of
James ]. Fletcher. George Noble, col
ored. and May King. on a charge OF
conspiracy in connection with an al
legged plot of the trio to frame up"
evidence for use in the Fletcher di-
yorce case. were affirmed by the Court
of Appeals in an opinion handed
down today.
Counsel for Fletcher took an appeal
on the ground that sentence had been
imposed under a section of the Dis
trict code instead OF under the Grim
inal code and that consequently the
defendants had been convicted and
sentenced for a crime with which
they had not been charged. It was
also claimed that the defendants had
been denied due process of law.
The case has been before the Court
of Appeals three times. twice on ap-
peal and once on a motion for a re-
hearing of the case. On the first ap-
peal and once on a motion for n re-
case for resentence of the defendants
under the conspiracy section of the
District code. The original sentences
We're five years for Fletcher. three
years for Noble and two years for
May King, and the resentences were
two years for Fletcher and one year
and a day for the other two defend
ants
1t Is apparent. we think, from
what we have said that the present
is merely an attempt to reopen a
question fully and carefully deter
mined in the prior appeal" SAYS JUS
tice Robb in his opinion.
Attorneys Henry Z. Davis and
James a. O'Shea represented the three
defendants.

Queen Victoria Seen in
Motion Picture Lecture

Ireland is such a choice morseI Of the
earth's surface that even nature herself
is gradually eating the island away
through the Entertainments Of the sea.
Burton Holmes explained to his audi
ences at the Columbia Theater last
evening. The travelogue on Ireland.
one OF the most enjoyable of the course
Mr.. Holmes has so far given. will be
depeated today. The stories and bic
lures the lecturer used covered a space
Of more than fourteen years. One of
the most remarkable of the lot, and a
picture of much historical interest, was
short motion picture of Queen Vic
toria on "A visit to Dublin. This was
made when the art of making and pro-
jecting motion pictures was very young
and yet The features and actions of the
aged queen showed up on the screen
quite as well as those pictures which
were made only last summer There
were also pictures of King Edward and
Queen Alexandra on one OF their mem
orable visits to Dublin.
The travelogue began with the land
ing OF the party with Mr.. Holmes near
the Giants Causeway, and took them
to Belfast, where some of the Irepara-
tions for the anticipated home rule
troubles were explained and shown in
pictures. The scenic photographs were
especially fine. all of them having been
made within the last few months. as
ireland was the last place visited BY
Mr.. Holmes on his tour last summer,
which was interrupted by the outbreak
OF the war. In fact. he was warned
not to make any more photographs
while in ireland, for fear of TIE com
plications. That explains the reason for
his use of some pictures that were made
during his previous visit to the Emerald
Isle some ten years aEo-picturcs, how
ever. that have never heretofore been
shown.
The travelogue will he repeated this
afternoon at $50. Next Sunday and
Monday the subject of the lecture will
be Germany and Austria.
