Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, March IA recent
decision of general public interest is
that recently rendered by the Supreme
court of this State in the case Of Dop-
aghy VS.. State. Donaghy had been
found guilty by Municipal Court OF
Wilmington of neglect to support his
minor child, about years of age, and
was there fined 5000 and costs and
ordered to pay a certain sum weekly
for the maintenance of the child. An
appeal was taken TO the Court OF
General Sessions, where the case was
heard by Judge Conrad and Judge
Heisel, without a jury, and Donaghy
was again found guilty and required
to pay a smaller sum each week for
the support of his son. The case was
then taken to the Supreme Court OF
the State on a writ of certiorari with
bill of exceptions. and was there
heard by Chancellor Curtis. Chief Jus
tice Pennewill and Judge BOyce
The most important question raised
and decided was whether the Legisla-
ture had power TO give to the Muni-
cipal Court OF Wilmington jurisdiction
to hear and determine cases under the
non support act. BY Article ~, sec
ton 30. OF the Constitution, power
was given TO the Legislature to vest in
inferior courts to be established by l.
jurisdiction Of certain designated
criminal matters. such as assaults
"and such other misdemeanors as the
General Assembly may pre-
scribe" In 1915 an act was passed
by the General Assembly making it a
misdemeanor for a father TO wilfully
neglect or refuse to provide for the
support and maintenance of his child
under rs years OF age in destitute and
inecessitous circumstances, and au-
/ thorized the Municipal Court to hear
the cases. with an appeal to the Court
! OF General Sessions.
II was contended that the offense
created by the statute was not men

DOVER, Del. March l2-lhe state
Senate at noon today unanimously
adopted a concurrent resolution offered
by Senator Gormley setting the time for
final adjournment ON March 2s. Under
the resolution no business other than
the claims and appropriation bills can
be considered after March %.
There was some objection in the
House TO fixing March 20 as the last day
TO consider bills on the calendars, some
of the members believing that the time
should be extended until March 30, but
after n long debate the House adopted
the resolution as it passed the Senate.
Senator Wharton made an effort to
have the Senate reconsider the vote
whereby the Senate several days ago
passed the bill to increase the pay Of
members OF the Legislature from $5

CITY BUILDINGS

Gone, Too
MR.. MULLIN JAURED TO
find PROPERTY RAIDED

John S. Mullin, merchant, who re-
Gently bought the old city buildings
and then turned the old City Hall
over to the Delaware Historical So
ciety, is indignant over the removal
from those buildings of practically all
of the steam heating plants, the radi-
ators, wash stands and toilets and
other equipment and furnishings. The
buildings were recently sold at pub
lie sale and were purchased by Mr..
Mullen for S175,000, the purchaser be-
ing under the impression that the
buildings were intact as far as the in
terror fittings were concerned.
Recently it was discovered that
these fixtures were missing, and an
investigation has revealed that the fix
lures were removed at the request OF
the Board of Education, which had
secured permission from the public
building committee Of Council to take
those fittings.
When Samuel II. Baynard, president
of the Board of Education, was spoken
10 about the matter today he said
"NIr. Mullin got Just what he bought
and no more. The heating apparatus
was removed from within the shadow O
his own building and in daylight" Wher
asked if the Board of Education records
show that a request was made for th'
fittings from the old city buildings. Mr.
3aynard said he did not think they did
He said that Mr.. Rommell, of the heat

reported last summer that extra radia

some of the schools and they would cos

suggested that we ask the building com

permission to remove the same, we ha'

DOVER, March 12.-Advocates Of
the Sussex county S10OO.OOO loan is
sue bill to construct good roads are
much concerned over the present
status of the bill and unless some
agreement is reached the measure
will be in grave danger OF being lost.
The trouble holding the bill in the
House Committee on Public Highways
developed several days ago and came
from a Democratic source, like a bolt
from clear sky.
This bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Culver, of Delmar, early
in the session. 1t provided for a
bond issue of one million dollars to
build a comprehensive system Of good
roads throughout the county. The
bill named the three new county COM
missioners TO have charge of con
struction Of the proposed roads.
The bill was approved and adyo-
Gated by most of the taxpayers in the
county, Republicans and Democrats
alike. About two weeks ago there
was a public hearing on the bill in
the House when several hundred
prominent citizens OF the county came
to Dover and advocated its passage.
The bill was referred to the Public
Highways Committee. OF which Mr.
Marvel, also of Sussex county, is
chairman. Il was expected that fol
lowing the hearing, when all of Sus-
sex county joined in advocating the
bill. It would be reported favorably
by the committee at once. The bill
however, is still in committee and
there is no assurance as to when il
will be reported.

the board hoped soon to accomplish
IF the war should come to an end
within a few months, he continued,
what would be our position? How

would we be called upon to send back?
Suppose the nations now at war should
decide to form an offensive and de-

markets to themselves; suppose they
should apply the gigantic power of CEN
tralized government to control the
trade of the world, what would be our
position them"
