Gets DATA Of
PORT COLLECTORS
Mr.. Jones AScertainS Names
OF All Except First
Appointee
WANT PORTRAITS
OF THE OFFICIALS

Following weeks Of research during
which many documents dating back TO
the early days Of the Government
we're examined, ID. b. Jones. deputy
collector of the United States Custom
Service here, has obtained the names
of all those who have served as col
lectors of the port of Wilmington, ex-
cept the first collector who was with
out doubt appointed by President
Washington. The idea of gathering
this data was conceived by Mr.. Jones
when he found some old documents
while the local Federal Building was
being cleaned last week.
As Wilmington in the early days of
the Government was one of the most
important shipping points in the
country and the majority of the for
eign trade was carried on from this
port, the data obtained by Mr.. Jones
is interesting. With this information
at hand efforts may now be made TO
secure the portraits of the collectors
Although a thorough search failed
TO show any record of the collector
Of the port of Wilmington from 1775
to the beginning of the term of Pres
ident John Adams, in 1896. when AL
len McLane was appointed, it is safe
to presume that a collector was To-
Gated at this port. The list of known
collectors follows:
Allen McLane was appointed by
President John Adams and continued
in office until his death on May %
1929. through the administration OF
Presidents Jefferson. Madison, Mon
roe and John Quincy Aadms.
Henry Whitley was appointed by
President Jackson in 1929 and con-
tinued in Office by President Van
Buren,.
Arnold Naudain was the collector
during the administration of Harri-
son-Tyler. from 1S41 to 1S45.
Henry Hicks was appointed by
President Polk. in 1S45 to 1S49.
William p. Brobson was appointed
by President Taylor in 1S49, and re.
mained in Office until his death in
1850. when he was succeeded by e1
Governor Charles Polk, about March
Jesse Sharpe was appointed b!
President Pierce in 1858. and con

the report that the Russian Black Sea

both the Petrograd and Constantin0ple

An official statement from the Turk

The Slav feet then retired TO the

Perrograd announced officially that
the Turkish ports had been lombard
ed, the Russian fleet completing the
work of destruction begun on a prev
iCus attack. Unofficial reports re-
ceived here today said that five Rus
sian warships participated in the hom-
bardmcnt and that eleven Turkish
sailing ships were sunk in the harbor
at Eregli At Zungulaak, two ex-
plosions at the coal mine followed the
dropping OF Russian shells.
London naval and military critics who
had contended from the start that the
Russian guns could make no impression
upon the strong Bosphorous forts, were
not surprised at the admission from Pet
rograd that the Black Sea fleet had
Withdrawn from the attack on the
strait. The object OF the bombardment
at the Turkish villages was to destroy
the machinery at the coal mines from
which the Turkish fleet draws part OF
its supplies and TO wreck the coal docks.

NEW HAVEN. Eng. April 1.-Sus-
pected of being a supply ship for
German submarines. the big Dutch
cargo boat Lodewiik Van Nassau, was
captured near Brighton today by two
British torpedoboats and brought into
this port Her cargo was found to

captain of the Dutch steamer ignored
two signals to stop, according to the
torpedo boat commanders. He finally
hove TO when the destroyers threaten

that her captain was unable to pro-
duce any papers. The steamers name
was painted on both sides in large
five-fOot letters.
The Lodewiik Van Nassau is owned
by the Royal West Indies Company. OF
Amsterdam. and is a vessel Of 1850
tons. The British Admiralty is taxi

YOUNG farmer dies
after DYNAMITE BLOW up

Harvey Moore, 80 years old. son Of
Jacob Moore, a farmer. living near
Milford Cross Roads, died in the Della
ware Hospital this morning as a re-
suit Of injuries received while dy-
namiting stumps on his fathers farm
last Monday. The body was turned
over to Deputy Coroner Harvey e.
Nichols, so that the cause Of death
can be investigated. II is said that at
the time of the accident Moore. with
a colored man assisting him, was US
ing dynamite 10 blow out stumps. He
placed a stick of dynamite under a
stump and lighted the fuse but it did
not explode. Moore then placed an
other stick of dynamite under the same
stump and after attaching the fuse
Went 10 safe distance and waited
for It 10 explode. II went off and he
went back to the spot and was in the
hole made by the explosion when the
first stick of dynamite exploded. That
lie was not killed instantly seems to

by the force of the explosion. A large
piece of dirt struck him in the left
eye, knocking out the member. His

CRUISER OLYMPIA
IS ORDERED TO
MEXICANWATERS
Purpose May be to Protect
Gold From Revolution
ary ChieftainS
Hear HEURTA MAY
return TO COUNTRY
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The cruis-
er Olympia was today ordered to go to
Mexico by the Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
Officials would give no reason for
the order, but it is understood the
East Coast situation is far from satis-
factory and it was deemed advisable
to have another light draft cruiser
available.
With the prospective addition, it
was explained that Caperton could
concentrate his battleships at Vera
Cruz, hold the Des Moines at Pro-
greso and send the Olympia to Tam
picO to reinforce the vessels already
there or dispatch il to any other point
where danger threatens.
The money to pay for the 100000
sisal bales bought by the Interna-
tional Harvester Company at Pro-
greso was reported to have been sent
there on a private vessel whose iden-
tity the State and Navy Departments
we're concealing.
Officials denied the Olympia was
carrying it, but admitted one of the
reasons it was ordered to Mexican
waters was that the moneys arrival in
Yucatan may stir up fresh trouble, since
it is in gold and must prove a tempta-
tion to almost any revolutionary chief
tain.
Reports that General Huerta had left
Cadiz, Spain, for an unknown destina-
tion. coupled with story that he
planned new insurrection in Mexico
greatly interested administration ofli-
cials today The State Department was
entirely without confirmation. but it has
known for some time that Huerta was
dissatisfied with the quiet life and that
certain Spanish financiers are anxious tc
back revolution that would protect
their imperilled Mexican investments.
The Spanish ambassador conferred
with Secretary Bryan and Counsellor
lansing late yesterday. burt officials 10
day declined 10 say whether Huerta''
plans were under discussion.
General Funston reported that Villa'i
artillery had not reached Matamoras
that there would be little excitement
until IL did, and that Brownsville, Tex.
was quiet.

WORKS IN PRISON
TO SUPPORT Family
Judge Churchman Commits
Mclaughlin After He is
: Given Many Chances
SIX MONTHS Is
THE SENTENCE

Six months In the workhouse was
the sentence imposed on Michael Nc

City Court today, on the charge of the
nOn-support of his wife and five chill
dren. Fifty cents a day will be de-
Quoted from his earnings to go to-
wards the support OF his family.
Judge Churchman held up two other
charges against Mclaughlin. those Of
contempt of court and breach of the
peace. The contempt of court charge
was for failing to appear recently in
court when his case was called. His
excuse was that he had gone to Phila-
delphia to look for work and sought
nights lodging at a police station and
was slated" which prevented him
from getting out early enough the
next morning to get here in time for
court.
An attachment was issued for him
and yesterday City Court officer Fran
els Green went TO McLaughlin's
house 10 look for him. The officer said
Mrs. Mclaughlin told him Mclaughlin
was not home but he found him hiding
in a corner in the shed kitchen.
Agent Frank Stout said Mclaughlin
had failed to get work, although the
non-support case was continued from
time to time to give him time TO do
so.
Mr.. Stout added that the charitable
organizations OF the city were tired
of feeding McLaughlin's family OF
five children
Trustee of the Poor J. Hadley Lewis

Laughlin was reported as having said
that the family was starving.

PROHIBITION IN
ENGLAND Seems
CERTAIN TODAY
Lord Kitchener Follows King
Edward in Declaration
for Abstinence
Germany ALSO takes
step FAVORlNG "DRYS"
BY WILBUR 5. FORREST

United Press Staff Correspondent.
LONDON, April Lord Kitchener
is the first man Of prominence in Eng
land to respond to King Georges sug-
gestion of total abstinence from liq-
ors. The British war leader announc-
ed through the press today that so
long as the war lasts no liquor will
be served in his household. Similar
announcements. it is understood, will
be made by cabinet members to in
augurate a movement to obtain absti-
nence pledges from prominent persons
all over the country.
The country seems very close to
prohibition today. King Georges let
ter to Lloyd George has given the pro-
hibition movement a tremendous
boost. There is every indication that
the nation will give the cabinet loyal
support if it concludes that a dry"
England is necessary for a successful
prosecution of the war.
At the same time dispatches re-
ceived here from Amsterdam indicate
that Germany, too. is putting the
throttle on the liquor business. The
German Federal Council, it is report
ed, has passed an order permitting
the authorities of each State, at their
discretion, to limit or absolutely pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors.
Government leaders frankly admit
ted today they are not concerning
themselves with the possible moral ef-
fects of prohibition on Great Britain.
They arc considering the question
purely from an economic standpoint.
They believe that the country actual
ly will gain financially through a
shortening of the war by more ef-
] ficient work in the factories prOduc-
ing war supplies. They believe this
gain will more than offset any loss in
revenue from the liquor business and
the amount A. is certain the govern
ment will pay 10 the liquor men in
compensation if their business is
wiped out.
The London newspapers, Which for
the most part are agreeing unani-
mously that drastic steps must be
taken, today gave prominent display
to an official statement from Petro-
grad, reporting a remarkable increase
in the deposits in Russian savings
banks since the government placed
the ban on vodka.
! In February, 1915, S2250O0O0 wa
7 added to the deposits in State savings
banks. In the same month last year
when the peasants were free to drinl
vodka, only 100000 was deposited.
The newspapers reported today tina
wholesale and retail dealers all over th'
country are swamped with orders from
persons who are satisfied that the prohi
I bition order is about to be put in effect
They also reported that labor leader
would give the government enthusiastic
support if Great Britain is made dry.
Irresponsible trade union officials ar
with the government in this natter
said the labor correspondent of tn
News. IF Lloyd George can show tha
drink is impeding affairs then they vii
approve whatever measures will stop tn
evil"
