fine ARTS society
REFLECTS ITS OFFICERS

AZ the meeting of the Wilmington
Fine Arts Society, held yesterday after
noon in the studio of Charles A. Mac
Lellan, No. 1906 Franklin street, the fol-
lowing officers were reelected: Mrs.
Charles Copeland, president; Stanley NJ.
Arthurs, George P. Bissell and Frank E.
Schoonover, as members of the board of
directors.
Owing to the fact that the local
board has not heard from J. ID. Trask,
chairman of the fine arts commission
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition,
concerning the sending of the Pyle
collection of paintings to the exhibi-
tion, no definite action could be taken
on that subject at yesterdays meet
ing. 1t has been decided TO lend the
pictures to be exhibited at the exposi-
tion, provided that members of the
fine arts commission OF the exposition
will assume all necessary expense and
responsibility for their shipping. The
collection of Pyle paintings, which
are owned by the Wilmington Fine
Arts Society, comprise a number of
the best work that that noted artist
ever did

letter to Chief of Police Black, Mr. Par
ker says that on Monday he arrived at
Mt. Holly with Joseph Szucs, arrested
in Cleveland Ohio. for a robbery at
Roebling, n. J. The writer sets forth
that Sues was a member of a gang of
thirty Hungerians, who perpetrated a
series of robberies in Camden, n. j.,
Elizabeth, n. j., and other cities in that
State and in Pennsylvania. Szucs,
when shown a portrait of Aioras that
appeared in the papers, stated that he
knew the man, and that Moras was. from
Paterson. \. j. Szucs also informed
Chief Parker in Cleveland, that there
were two gunner in the party who were
working in the East. The partner of
Sues, named Joseph Pentik is now
being sought for the Roebling robbery.

When the room of Krakus here was

cording to dispatches from Warsaw

For four days furious fighting has
been raging around a chain of stone
farm buildings in the Pilica-Ilawa

WASHINGTON. March Secretary
of The Navy Daniels today ordered
Admiral Fletcher to send two more
battIeships from Guantanamo to Vera
Cruz.
Fletcher was instructed 20 place the
two vessels under the command OF a
ilag officer, who will be an admiral.
The selection of ships was left TO Ad-
mlraI Fletcher's discretion.
IL was stated at the Navy Depart
mcnt that the additions will give the
United States three battleships nj

Physicians at the Delaware HosDi-
tai at noon today announced that the
condition of Patrolman willard S.
Sharpless, shot on Saturday when hs
attempted to arrest Peter Krakus at
Sixth and Market streets. was slightly
improved 1t was explained earlier,
however, that the officer had spent a
restless night. At noon the attend
ants at the institution said the condi-
tion of the officer was still critical.
The same bulletin at that time said
Patrolman Horace Mcdaniel, shot by
Krakus, who also killed PatrOlman
Tierney, was much improved. Both
men are still in danger, however.
The condition of James T. Scott,
the patrolman who is under treat
ment at the Homeopathic Hospital
suffering from two wounds from
Krakvs' gun. was reported to be
much improved today.
Il was learned here today that the
two men now under arrest, Peter Kra-
kus, charged with murder, and
Charles Moras, as an accomplice, not
only attracted attention at the offices
of the Wilmington Trust Company,
Tenth and Market streets, several
nights ago by requesting that Cana
dian money they had be changed but
they also we're at the local postoffice
on Friday night. It is understood
that the men received their mail at
the general delivery window Office
here and on Friday night two men
answering the description of the men
now under arrest applied there in
quiring for the British Consul here.
AS they talked to the clerk at the
window they impaired the informa-
ton that they were from Canada. This
fact, coupled with that of endeavor-
ing to dispose of money from that
country has led many persons here
TO believe that the men are part OF
the crowd that robbed a bank in
Canada during the present winter.
To Keep Men in WorkhOuse.
Fearing a scene when the two men
would be arraigned in City Court or
Thursday morning. Chief OF Police
Black this morning conferred with
Attorney General Wolcott and IL was
decided to have the men remain al
the workhouse until early next week
At that time the case will be present
ed to the grand jury, and if indicted
the men Will be given trials at once
Before thisacan be done, however, il
will be necessary to assign counsel
to defend the men. Attorney-General
Wolcott said today that the men dc
rot have to be given preliminary hear
ings nor does any inquest have to be
held before they men can be held
without bail. The committing judge
or magistrate at the preliminary
hearing not having final jurisdiction
in the case. makes il possible to dis
pense with this formality.
While the authorities are confident o
having enough evidence TO warrant tn
conviction of the men, Sergeant Of De
tectives Wardle and his squad starte
work today summoning the witnesses j
The shooting. When the summonses ar
served the statements of the witnesse
will be taken and this will be presente
