Special Correspondence Of Every Evening
Dover, Dec 20-Thc town OF WyO-
ming has a mystery which as vet the
people have been unable 10 explain The
local water system is quarter Of mile
from the town the water being pumped
INTO a tank nearly 100 feet high In times
past II has required an hour or longer 70
pump the water from the ground through
the S-inch pipe into the tank. bur within
he past few DAYS most unusual thing
has happened. The keeper Of the pumping
station has been surprised 10 sec that the
tank has been filled after only 70 minutes
Of pumping 1t Is also noticed that even
after the pumps have been shut down,
the water still gushes up. causing the tank
10 overflow.
II has also developed that several Of the
town pumps have gone dry, the presUmp-
ton being that the water supplying the
pumping station tank has struck vein
Of water which supplies the wells IN the
town. II is also reported that a well 10
the country. nearly four miles distant, has
also gone dry, the belief being that this
well also is on the same line with the
springs supplying the Wyoming pumping
station.
Because Of the drying OF many wells in
Wyoming, some residents have been
forced to tap the water pipes IN order TO
get a supply of water for domestic uses.

TO MOVE EXPLOSIVES
FROM PIGEON POINT
Government Co-Operates With
Mayor Lawson and French
Mission Will Act.

The 145 car loads of high explosives
T. n. T. and pi nc acid-now at Pigeon
Point, Just beyond the southern boundry
of Wilmington, and belonging to the
French government, are to be moved
TO safe storage place promised by the
French government. THIS material,
originally the property of Russia, has
long been a menace to wilmington
and for some time Mayor Lawson has been
urging its removal That his efforts arc to
be successful is Indicated by thefoilowing
dispatch from Washington:
Millions of pounds of L and
picric acid, the property Of the French Gov
ernment, are stored in l60 cars IN VIII
mington, Del. The presence of so large
n quantity of high explosives is admit
ted to be a menace To the safety of the
city. Arrangements had been made by
the Railroad Administration for dump
ing the entire consignment into tho At
lan:ic Ocean, but the French War Mis-
ison YESTERDAY advised Director General
McAdoo that several safe places bad
been found where the explosives may
be stored.
''Sbips had been procured TO take the
explosives to sea and lighters TO handle
IL from the land to the ships MIR. McAdoo
anNsuuCpu carly ytSttidol thhe -
rangements had been completed to
dump the high explosives overheard,
but asked thst nothing be publishe I
until formal statement was prepared.
Later in the day the French Mission
advised Mr.. McAdoo that storage place.
had been found for the T n Tand pic
ric acid. The American high explosive
expert will personally inspect the places
designated by the French Mission for
the storage Of this material. If they
arc found TO be satisfactory, the Rail-
road Administration Will transport the
l55 cars to the designated points.
Where safe storage is provided for
such explosives, il was pointed out,
there is no real danger of an explosion
such as recently wrecked the big Gil
lespie shell-loading plant at South Amboy,
~ j., and everything else for miles
around. 4 magazine containing millions
Of pounds of T n + on the Gillespie
property did not explode and consequently
is regarded SIS safe"
Mayor Lawson was advised todsy that
30 cars will be moved today and 81 will
be gone by the first Of the year.

MURDEROUS OUTLAWS
TERROR|ZE CLAYMONT
Brutal Highwaymen Attack and
Rob Mill Workers of Large
Sums of Money.

Due % the presence, boldness and
vlclousness Of large number Of high
waymen in that section of Claymont area
between the town proper and the manu-
featuring establishments on the river, "a
reign Of terror exists there. Because Of
this condition Of affairs and in view Of
the fact that the police protection is
inadequate, q movement is on foot there
to formally bring the matter TO the at
tention Of the State authorities. A State
police force would be boon TO that sec
ton, the people believe.
During the past few weeks hundreds
Of dollars have been stolen from en-
ployes Of Claymont manufacturing es-
Establishments, who were caught on the
roads, while several Of the persons robbed
have been brutally assaulted In one
case an attempt was made 10 kill John
Shaw after he had been robbed Of $3.50,
because. his assailants told him, he had
recognized them. They were driven
off. however. by the approach Of another
man. A night or two ago an Italian
working at one Of the plants was way
laid in the woods and robbed OF S3l2
and there have been numerous other
robberies, with varying amounts stolen.
In view of the fact that a number Of
southern Negroes, who have recently
come there TO work, have been Implicated
in trouble, they are suspected OF being
the hghwaymen, who select lonely paths
leading to and from the works, and who
are particularly IN evidence on the night
following payday. That is why all OF the
Negroes in Boothwyn, Pa, nearDy,
have been ordered 10 leave that place by
tomorrow.

Secret Service Men in Attendance
Hint at Possible Scandal at

CLAsHNARROWLY AVERTED

ELKroS, Mn, Dec. 20.
II developed today that the Secret
Service men who are attending the trial
Of Charles VI. Johnson, charged with
numbering Major William r. King, U. 5.
A.. chief of construction at the Aberdeen
proving ground, came 10 Elkton hoping
To obtain additional information concern
ing an alleged scandal in Hartford county.
johnson was employed in tho paymastcrs s
department OF the contracting company
doing certain work at the proving ground
When outlining the johnson case the
prosecution hinted At looseness on the
proving ground and said Major King
Instituted there various reforms which
created hostility toward him. During the
murder trial the State frequently tired to
introduce testimony relating TO proving
ground affairs that might prove n link In
the motive for the murder of Major King
but the attempts failed. Rumor says the
alleged Iooseness in the proving ground
consisted of padded payroIls, excessive
salaries, double charging for supplies and
emergency orders for material not needed.
Cecil and Hartford countians expected to-
day that the Secret Service investigation
of the proving ground affairs would be the
basis Of n sensational lawsuit in the
United States Court for the District Of
Maryland when II convenes IN Baltimore
Feeling between soldiers and civilians
IN Cecil and Hartford counties is NJ High
tension.
During tho session Of the Cecil county
Circuit Court last night one Of the lawyers
for the defence IN the Johnson caae made
a remark IN his argument to the jury
which proving ground major construed
as a reflect ion on men wearing { he uniform
Of the United States Army The major
accosted the lawyer after the night ad-
inurnment Of court and possible physical
clash was averted by the lawyer telling
the major be had misinterpretod the re-
mark made 70 the jury.
ARGUMENT BY COUNSEL.
The throng that filed the Cecil county
court house this morning expected TO
know johnson fate today. Great IN
terest was manifested IN the addresses to
the Jury. Joshua Clayton, States at
torney for Cecil county, handled the legal
phases of the case for the prosecution.
Thomas H Robinson Of. Harford county
smoke next, and William r. Warburton
Of Cecil county followed Both are fine
orators, and they appealed eloquently u
behalf OF the defendant. The closing arg1i-
ment was made by James ]. Archer OF
Hartford county, personal counsel for the
King family Justices Adkins and Hopper
did not charge the jury, as IN Maryland
courts the judges arc judges Of the law
and facts
The court at 1925 o'clock recessed until
las. Attorneys Clayton and Robinson
took the entire morning and Attorneys
Warhurton and Archer spoke after recess.
The case will probably 80 TO the jury
