JONES SAYS TT
 IS HUM1liATlNG.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. B. Senator Jones, on the floor of the senate yesterday, arguing against the passage of the Adamson eight hour law, characterized the means employed to force the bill through as the most humiliating episode in the history of the United States. He declared that the labor unions, in stead of helping their cause, are placing themselves in an anomalous position which will later injure them, in tacitly agreeing to permit congress to fix the hours during which labor shall be performed, For such procedure. he said. inevitbaly means that congress has power to fix wages, which is a dangerous ad- mission for the unions to make.

THIEVES HARASS

Thousands of Pounds of Poultry Taken
During the Night and Shipped to
the City Markets Quickly
During the past week thousands of
pounds of poultry have been stolen
from farmers in and about Middle
town, and in some of the thefts great
nerve was displayed by the thieves.
The negroes always have been blamed
for the thieving, but careful analysis
of the situation shows that some one
with more ingenuity than the average
negro possesses is engineering the
''iobs" in that community. 1t is be-
lieved by the farmers that the poultry
is stolen by gangs, and carried to
some central points, and from there
taken to Wilmington in an automo-
bile. During the past ten days the
following farmers have been robbed:
Russell Cleaver, five turkeys, 1G
ducks and 18 chickens; John Carpen-
ter, five turkeys; Charles Derrickson,
249 chickens; James Moore five tur-
keys; Edward Schetzler, "A chickens {;
William Alfree, 20 ducks; John Weist,
9 chickens; John Price -four times, }
21O chickens; George Kohl, 65 chick
ems; William Russell, five turkeys.
James Jarrel, an aged farmer living
three miles from Middletown, aroused
by noise in his chicken house, shot
his gun in that direction. The thieves
kept quiet for more than an hour. and
the farmer was again aroused by a
noise among his hogs. He again fired
his gun. when the thieves ran toward
the road, where they returned the
fire with a shotgun.
On the farm of John Price four
robberies have taken place. Each
time the hen house was unlocked with
key. New locks were put on the
house after each robbery. A Farmers
Protective Association has beer
formed, and at a meeting Saturday
a permanent organization was af
fected. More than a hundred farm
ers have signed the roll of this or
ganization.
