Stolen Team Found Quickly

When the Wilmington day police
force were forming in line at the
City Hall on Friday to go on duty.
word came from Sheriff Morga..i at
Elkton describing tea~u stolen
from J. Frank BLAKE of Childs. An
hour later Officer Purcell saw a
team at welfth and West street
answering the description of the
missing one and shouted to the
driver to halt but he whipped up
the horse and the officer pursued.
After a run of several blocks the
driver jumped out and took to his
heels. At Thirteenth and Market
street the fugitive ran into the
yard of w. L. Dockstader's home
where the officer found him hiding.
He was arrested and taken togeth-
err with the team to the police sta
ton. The man said he was John
Simpson, 81 years old, of Childs
and a loaded revolver was found
IN his pocket. He was given g
hearing on Saturday and was helG
for the action of the Maryland au
thorities on the larceny charge but

white man but the negro escaped.
He turned his two prisoners over
to a citizen and started after the
fleeing negro. Another negro
opened fire on the officer sending
five shots at him at range of less
than fifty feet, all of which missed
him. The negro ran through a
house and disappeared. Officers

guage. This number had more
than tripled itself up to five years
ago, when there were 4,265, or 245
per cent more than in 1900.
Among the approximately IA,
OOO,OO foreign-born residents IN
the United States in 1910, 1850,
361 foreign-born whites were
classed as illiterate. These litter
ates are the natural prey OF de-
signing and scheming foreigners
and natives as we'll, and are COM
PEELED to pay tribute, both in cash
and blood, for every service real
or imagined.
For years, this condition has
been studied by the Bureau of Nat
uralization in it's application to the
administration of the naturaliza-
ton law. It is safe to state that
although $4,000 foreigners have
been refused citizenship because
of mental and moral unftness dur
ing the period of Federal super
vision, at least that many have
been admitted during the same
period in spite of these deficien-
cies, for the courts have been re-
, luctant to refuse citizenship where
proper educational facilities have
p; not been provided. In many places
the public schools have, under the
inspiration of the Bureau of Nat
uralization, now opened their
doors to the foreigner so that he
may be instructed in the duties OF
American citizenship, and in tAesl
localities the courts have readily
responded to the new order OF
things and refused citizenship un
less the candidate could come uT
to the higher standard which ha!
been brought about by the Fedora
supervision. This system the Blu
reau has tried out for years ant
with success in various localitie;
and there is now scarcely stat
in the whole country that does no
have citizenship classes carried OIL
either by the public schools o
under the direction of privat
agencies.
1t is confidently believed b,
those who have made an exhaust
, i've study of existing condition
that this great nationwide educa
tional movement will, beyond ques
ton, change that portion of 81 II
: alien body which is now isra cond
tion of helpless depsXdence an

Through the action of Superin-
t. ndent of Schools c. j. Scott, the
Public Schools of Wilmington have
ioined the ranks of over $50 other
cities and towns throughout the
United States in cooperating with
the Bureau of Naturalization of
the U. S. Department of Labor in
it's national movement for the
Americanization Of the candidates
for citizenship and the removal OF
the hyphenated portion from the
title to American citizenship.
The night schools of Whining
ton opened November Is. Glasses
which may be attended by for
eigners are held in Schools No. IT,,
l6, and 8, and instruction given in
the common branches.
The Bureau of Naturalization
will, from month to month during
the current scholastic year, fur
nish Superintendent Scott with the
names and addresses of aliens re-
siding within his jurisdiction who
file petitions for naturalization or
declarations of intention. This
will enable the school authorities
to get into touch with such appli-
cants and give them valuable as
Stance in preparing for citizen
ship.
Last year there were 61O per-
sons who applied for citizenship in
New Castle county. Since July l.
1910, 1907 aliens of the county
have declared their intention and
639 have filed final applications
for citizenship.
The necessity for the education
of aliens residing in New Castle
county is clearly shown by the tol
lowing figures taken from the lat
est available statistics:
The foreign-born white popula
ton of Wilmington in 1910 wa'
1888, or 1876 per cent Of the tota
population. Of this number $50
were males who had attained thel
majority and only 2,872 wer'
shown to have been naturalized.
In 1910 there were in the city o
Wilmington 2191 males of voting
age who were classed as illiterate
Of these 1886 were forelgn-bor1
whites and only 125 were natlv
whites, the percentage of Hitter
acy being 21.3 for the former an
