Month In Workhouse

Judge Conrad, in General Ses-
sions Court, on Monday, disposed
of the case of Ernest Emigh, of
Newark, accused of shooting Hat
tie Wilmer, also of Newark, re-

get along. Under the circumstan-
ces the court imposed a fine of S25
and costs of prosecution, in de-
fault of which Emigh will serve a

MANY OUT OF
DISTRICT PUPILS IN
HIGH SCHOOL
All Those Who Qualified In
State Board Exam Ac-
cepted

In response to several inquiries
at this office relative to the admit
tance of pupils residing in adjac-
ent school districts it was learned
from Mr.. Koehler, principal of the
Newark schools, today, that all
pupils who have presented certlti-
Gates signed by E. L. Cross, super
intendent of schools in New Cas-
tie County, have been admitted to
the school. According to the State
law, and in order to standardize
the schools, pupils must qualify
for admittance to the higher
grades at the annual State Boarc
examination held in June. Al
whose work was shown to be salts
factory at that time have received
from Mr.. Cross the aforemention
ed certificates.
In order to preclude the pos
sibility of any child being unfair
ly barred from school, however
Mr.. Koehler has admitted, condi
tionally, those pupils who hat
taken the State Board examina
ton, but have not yet received
their graded report. Only thos'
who had never presented them
selves for the examination wer'
refused admission.

stomach complaint. The malady
was caused by eating some food
that did not agree with the men
and was aggravated by the cool,
chilly nights.
AS a result of their indisposi-
ton, the men were relieved of the
usual camp routine duty Monday.
Lectures on first aid were de-
livered TO the men yesterday by
Major Marshall and his assistants.
Major Marshal spoke to the Sup
ply and Machine Gun Companies,
and to Companies H, E, M and l..
Lieutenant Southland was assign
ed to Companies A and c, Lieuten-
ant Duffy to Companies F and X,
Lieutenant Holman to Companies
G, D and |, and the Sanitary De-
tachment.
Some of the points on which the
men were instructed were in re-
gard to the treatment of poisoned
wounds. They were told what to
do in cases of bites from taran-
tulas, scorpi ions, centipedes,
snakes and rabid animals. They
were told what to do if wounded
with poisoned bullets, how to con-
troll nasal hemorrhages, how to al
leviate the pain and smart Of
burns and scalds, and what to do
if attacked by frostbite and chill
blains.
Lieutenants Duffy and Southard
are engaged busily in doing work
on the teeth of the men. They
have no army dental equipment so
far, and are obliged to use their
own chairs and instruments. They
will be furnished equipment once
they are in camp in Alabama.

corps, is convalescing following a

central portico of the building.
Here the architect holds true to
the colonial theme, apparent in all
the new buildings of Delaware
College. The trophy halr' itself
is an exact replica of the
entrance room in Old Carpenter
Hall, Philadelphia. Beautiful wide
stairways, on either side of the
doorway, turn sharply at right
angles, and cross great windows,
fourteen feet in height. The stair

band of ivory white to match the
members of the banister, which

"Old College Hail." formerly the
main building of Delaware Col
lege, transformed this year into a
student Commons" was formally
delivered to the authorities of the
College on Wednesday of last
week. DR.. R. X. Greenfield, rec
emily appointed to the office of
student secretary, received the
keys, and assumed temporary
charge of the building.
Old College Hall, as the oldest
building on the campus, is the one
in which centers the affection of
the alumni of the College and
friends of the institution. Owing
to it's historic significance no
change has been made in the ex-
terror of the building; on the con-
trary, all it's original features
have been carefully preserved by
the architect. From the street one
catches a glimpse, through the
arching lindens, of the same
classic columns that have been
familiar to generations; the same
broad steps lead to the portlco,
and main entrance of the building
Only a closer observation reveals
the hand of modern construction
in the concrete steps that have re-
placed the old wooden ones, and
the fluted Ionic columns, instead OF
the plain ones of old days. Be-
hind the original brick wall has
been placed a second, of rein
forced concrete, leading one u
prophecy that the remodeled build
ing, solid and substantial, VII

Since Governor Townsend re-
ceived a telegram on Monday from
General Simpson, commander of
the Department of the East stat
ing that he had issued orders for
the Delaware Regiment to leave
for Camp McClelland, Admission,
Ala, as soon as practicable after
September 23, there has been
much speculation among the Off
GERS and men as to just when they
would get away. Although they
are getting much practical ex-
perience at Camp Townsend the
men are anxious to get to the
southern camp. Colonel Reed,
when interviewed early this after
noon, at Camp Townsend, stated
that no orders for enyrainment had
yet been received. He believes
the delay due to the difficulty in
getting cars for the transporta-
tion of the National Army. Orders
however, are anticipated daily.
Col. Reed said that he did not
think the First Division Regiment
would visit Wilmington before
leaving for the Southland. In his
opinion, the entrainment will bt
made at New Castle, and the route
will be over the Pennsylvani;
Railroad and Southern Railroad
When orders for departure d.
come, they will simply tell tn,
Regiment to move as soon as pos
sible, and it will be incumben
upon the officers then to get il
touch with the railroad companie
to ascertain when the entrainmen
can be best made.
According to Major William
Marshall, the general health of tn
men in camp is excellent. The onl
trouble of any consequence ha
been in Company f, where twent
men suffered considerably Sunda
