Frank Denied No Right
HIGHEST Tribunal Finds
United States Supreme Court Rejects Atlanta Prisoner
Appeal for Writ of Habeas Corpus on Ground OF
Irregular Trial at State Bar.

nance" amounted to nothing more
than Irregularities, not prejudicial to
Frank. should not be disturbed upon
the mere assertions of the prisoner
that the facts were otherwise than as
found This was so, tie court held,
especially as the prisoner withheld
from the court afldavits he had pre-
sented to the State courts on the sub
ject of disorder during the trial.
Time to Act.
Justice Holmes, dissenting, declared
that loss of jurisdiction by the trial
court could not be restored by any
decision by a higher court and de-
clined to affirm the findings OF the
Georgia supreme court. He said If
the allegations III Franks petition for
habeas corpus were true and the facts
were before the Georgia supreme court
that court sanctioned a situation upon
which the federal court to declare
Lynch law as little valid when prac-
ticed by regularly drawn jury as
wien administered by one elected by a
mob intent On death"
The dissenting justices held the
case should be sent back to the dis
trict court for the taking of evidence
on the petition.
They said that they were not i'm
pressed with TIE argument that the
presence of a prisoner at the time a
verdict was rendered was required by
the constitution.

Rules Covering Milk Delivery

Yesterday the Board of Health
made ruling that in future, no
milk shall be delivered in a bottle
or other receptacle to any house
that is under quarantine-nor
shall any milk bottle or other re-
ceptacle for milk be taken awav
from any such house. The men
who deliver milk to such houses,
will be urged not to enter such
house but to remain outside, and
fl ON their own can, deliver the
milk into a receptacle provided by
the householder.
The object in this is, of course,
to protect the milkman and his
other customers from contamina-
tion from the quarantined house.
This arrangement will be easy to
comply with and be hardship to
none. Experts, everywhere, agree
in thinking it will save many a
case of sickness. Let all of us
help to see the rule is obeyed.

One of the most enjoyable pro-
grams given during the year was
that of last evening at the Com
munity Meeting held in the High
School building. Miss Mary Emma
Harman, violinist, of Whining
ton, accompanied by DR.. Harbortt
of Dover delighted the audience
with instrumental selections. The
first number, the magical Humor-
eske, by Dvorak, which Van Dyke
has likened to an April day, so
full is it of laughter and pleading
smiles and tears, was rendered
With the exquisite grace and fin
ish of an artist. Miss Harman's
greatest ability, however, was dis
played in her splendid interpreta-
tion of the "Hungarian Rhap-
sody" from Tannhauser. Miss
Harman plays without her notes,
with all the assurance and express
sion of a finished musician. The
lumber was heartily applauded,
and in response the violinist gave
rs an encore Kreisler's Liebes-
freud. The songs, 'Beauty's Eyes"
Tosti, and Here's a Rose for
Vou," by DR. Harbortt, were ap-
preciated.
Newark is fortunate in having
2mong her townsfolk citizens who
re authorities upon the birds and
trees of tn eneighborhood. The
talks given by DR.. Rowan and
Prof. McCue, were of pleasingly
local flavor and told of the things
to be observed from our own
doors.
Birds In The Neighborhood
Dr. w. j. Rowan gave an inter-
>sting talk on birds, in which he
urged the Importance of at least
IN acquaintance with our feather
ed friends, declaring the interest
~ot a fad, but, an economic neces-
Sity. "The birds that have been
killed off," the speaker said. "have
ertailed loss to the farmer of
$1,000, 100000 per year. The raw
ages of the cinch bug alone-form-
erly kept down by the quail-runs

Council in Last Meeting Before
Election

Business of the present Town
Council was concluded at the
meeting Monday night, this being
the last meeting previous to the
annual town election next Thurs
day when the terms of a majority
of the members of Council expire.
The members whose terms expire
next Tuesday are Mayor Joseph
H. Hossinger, and Councilmen E.
Clifford Wilson, William H. Barton
and Jonathan Johnson. Friends of
all the retiring members are urg-
ing them to stand for reelection.
There has been no announcement
of any other candidates for Coun-
Gil up to this time.
The report of the treasurer
showed that the present members
will go out leaving a balance of be-
tween $1,000 and 800 to the
credit of the town after all bills
passed on Monday night are paid.
Councils attention was called
to the fact that employees of the
Pomeroy branch of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, blowing the whis-
tie of engines during the night in
the yard at Center station, dis
turbing the rest of residents in
that section. Another complaint
was made relative to the habit of
B. & o. enginemen firing their en-
gines while standing at the local
station causing a great deal of un-
necessary dust. Secretary Herd
man was instructed to write to
both railroads asking that the nui-
sance be stopped.
An ordinance making it unlaw
full after July l, to discharge into
the gutter Of any public street,
road or alley, of the town, any
waste or drainage water or mate
rial from any dwelling, stable or
other building, was given it's first
and second readings. The ordi-
nance provides for a fine of from
50 to $40, for violations.

TREES AND BIRDS OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD


dow Lark, Brown Creeper, Downy
Wodpecker, Chickadee, and White
breasted Nnthatch.
Birds that arrive in and around
Newark early in The spring, and
during the month of March are the
Grow, Blackbird, Robin, Bluebird,
Fox Sparrow, White Crowned
Sparrow, the two latter remaining
only a week or two, and then mi
grating farther north. They may
be seen and heard in Jex's Woods,
just west of town. Birds that come
early in April are the Flicker,
Red Winged Blackbird, Chipping
and Field Sparrows, Dove, Swal-
low, Chimney Swift, Martin, Kill
deer, Phoebe, Catbird, Brown
Thrasher., Birds that arrive when
the weather 81 warm, in May or
June are House Wren, Indigo
Bunting, Warblers, Baltimore and
Orchard Orioles, Wood Thrush,
Ruby-throated Humming Bird and
Yellow-billed Cuckoo.
Everyone should make it point
to learn where birds are likely to
build, and how they may be per-
Suaded to nest in a given locality.
First, a bird will select spot
where he can be near water, and
in thick shrubbery. 1t is useless
to lock for the nests Of song birds
in a wood from which all bushes
have been cleared away. One
successful method for enticing the
birds is to tie up the bushes at
the top to make bulk, and see
that the place is protected from
cats and weasels. Birds that build
in holes of trees may be induced
to nest in boxes placed on the
trees. Such birds are the Martin,
Bluebird, Wren, Flicker, and
Great-crested hycatcher. A piece
of tin fastened to the trunk of the
tree some distance below the box
will keep off cats and weasels.
The opening of any bird box must
be toward the east.
DR.. Rowan closed with an ap-
re'l to his hearers to join with a
bird club, Anyone may become a
member of the Liberty Bell Bird
Club by addressing a request to
the Farm Journal, Philadelphia.

Manager Ellison
Names Team
Baseball Prospect For Season
Promising

Manager Elmer j. Ellison OF Ine
Newark baseball team of the new
Delaware-Maryland League has
been busy for some days signing
players and now has his team
nearly completed. Judging from
the players signed Newark will
see faster baseball this season
than ever before. 1t is generally
believed, however, that this league
as a whole will be faster than the
Tri-County League and the local
manager is determined to have a
strong club to start the season
with.
Although the season does not
open until the first of next month
the players signed will start to
practice in short time. The
grounds on Delaware avenue will
be used again this season and eX-
hibition games will be played
there the last two Saturdays in
April with the Continental Fibre
Company team.
Billy" Marsey will do the bulk
of the catching again this season
and considering his steadiness
and the fact that he is a good hit
ter no better man could be secured
for back of the bat. Walter Ritz,
the local high school boy, who did
relief work back of the bat last
year has been signed as substi-
tute catcher. He should be even
better this year than last year
with the experience that he got
in 1914.
Jake" Hogan, the crack south
paw, who was recognized as the
best pitcher in the Tri-County
League for several seasons, will be
the mainstay in the box again.
Manager Ellison also announces
that he has signed Rodman
Schmickel, who formerly played
with Aberdeen for second base
and he will also probably do some
pitching. Schmickel is we'll known
here as a pitcher and he worked in
several close games against New
ark last year. He is also good
hitter.
The infelders signed are Scott
Gregg, Billy" Jackson, Charlie
Beatty, Lewis Scanlon, Roland
Herdman, Layton Gray, and Jack
Stephenson of Chester. Gregg,
Jackson, and Beatty played the in
field all of last season and all the
fans know their ability on the ball
field. Scanlon and Gray played in
few games and both look like
comers. Herdman played third
base on the Newark team of the
Penn-Mar League. Stephenson is
said to be fast man and has had
considerable experience in Ches-
ter. All of these players will be
given chance to show what he
has and the best men will land the
regular berths.
For the outfeld Manager Eli
son has signed Job Kirke, the
former Oxford and Rising Sun
player; Andy Rankin of Chester
who played the outfield last sea-
son, and Harvey Ferguson, the
local player. All three of these
players are good hitters. klrke,
