REIGN OF TERROR
KEEPS CLAYMONT
PEOPLE INDOORS
Lcontlnued from DEC onel

reported they were afraid to leave the
plant az night because Of highwaymen
who, with drawn guns and blackjacks.
have been waylaying them along The
roads. As result Of this wavo Of
crime. residents OF the upper end OF
Brandywine Hundred are living in ter
ror and not woman or, in some cases,
even a man Will venture out at nights.
The latest robberies reported from
that section was that Of two workmen
last night who were held up by Ne.
groes at the point OF gun. and re-
lieved Of their two weeks salary, $50
each. On Tuesday night. a workman
named Edmunds was robbed OF SIS
and a watch. Edmunds was attacked
and his head was badly cut by the rob
bers, who struck him with a blackjack.
Another clue In the Lacey case which
Is now being run down was that OF The
arrest OF James Schultz alias Stewart,
In Chester. Pa, yesterday This man
when searched, was found 10 have IN
his possession papers bearing the name
Of John kratwouth Of Edge Moor. An
investigation made by Chief OF Police
Black showed that kratworth had been
robbed along the road between Edge
Moo- and Claymont several days ago.
and the papers found on Shultz We're
said TO have been taken from Kratworth |
by the highwayman.
The Chester, Pa, police were notified |
of this angle Of the case and Sergeant /
Wilmer Hahn went to that city today |
Tor Shultz, but the Chester police re-
fused to allow him to be brought here
IS they are investigating q case which
he Is thought TO be concerned in.
According to the Chester police,
shultz's clothes are smeared with mud
IS II he had been engaged in a tussle
along some roadway recently. As the
murderer Of Lacey must have been en-
gagged In a terrific light, with the young
man, the police here are anxious 10
learn how Shultz's clothes became
soiled. They Will endeavor to trace
his movements on the night Of Janu-
ary 1.
That the highwaymen who have been
terrorizing residents OF Claymont and
vicinity have even come as far as this
city to ply their art Is the belief OF
the local police. This was borne ou'
several nights ego when a resident OF
South Wilmington was found uncon-
scious at Forty-fourth and Market
streets. This man was revived at the
Delaware Hospital He said a trolley
car had run him down. This was de-
MED by the traction company, however,
and after one day. a fully loaded re-
volver and bloody handkerchief were
found in the road near where the man
had been found. It is now thought that
this man was assaulted by a footpad
and in the night, he was knocked uncon-
scious, the gunman dropping his
weapon in the night.
In speaking OF the numerous hold
ups near Claymont recently, an oflcial
Of an Industrial plant there today said

rom the Wilmington police, what-
sver. They have done nothing TO pre-
yent hold-ups nor 10 catch and punish

ICE COOLED PIPES
GIVE WARM WATER

The water cooling system installed at
the police station several months ago,
by which Is was thought that the old
fashioned Ice coolers could be elm
mated, has proven TO be heating plant
instead and the water coolers have
come back in fashion. For some time
past the police on duty at the station
have been drinking warm water which
came from the bubbler, despite the fact
that the coils Of pipe in the tank were
encased In ice.
It is thought that the water pipes
connected with the bubbler were too
close to the steam pipes. At any rate.
the police are now drinking ice water
from the old-fashioned cooler.

P. VS.. o.
BY LAWRENCE EvART.

The pessinist arose one morn,
The rain was coming down.
It was wet. and cold. and dreary
IN a cherries country town
He srumbled at the weather,
He grumbled at his food,
He rallied at things in general,
In a pessin1istic mood.
The world was topsy=turvy,
There was nothing that was right,
People were not human,
This country Is a plight
What right had our officials
To stop the sale OF booze.
He growled at Prohibition,
Why couldn't be just snooze,
Instead Of having 10 set up
And hurry on 10 work.
What right had some TO be so rich,
While he shaved like a Turk.
Across the street, another man
Jumped lightly out OF bed.
He saw the rain and felt the chill,
But laughingly. he said,
eThis rain is what is needed,
For wells are running dry,
The cold viii make US healthy
And fewer people die.
It's q great old world" he shouted,
"Our country's in. the right
Prohibition Is the thing we want
Then people can't get tight.
Just then a big machine dashed by,
Went ohugging out Of sight.
"Some day" he said, am have one, too
It's a great old game 10 light
But win get there, give me time,
Thank God, I've got my health,
And ] wouldn't change you bet right
now,
With any man OF wealth.
II you're pessimistio, take my tip,
And change your views OF life,
Don't rail al things you cannot help
In your struggle and your strife.
Be optimistic. see the best.
The sun will brighter glow
rhe world viii offer greater things,
While you tarry here below.

The immediate purpose Of the strike. we are tod.
is to settle certain controversies which have arisen be-
tween certain of the employees and their employers. The
public has had no oprortunity to inform itself reliably
as to the merits Of these controversies. But the strike
committees seek to force a settlement in their own favor,
not by submitting their case on Its merits and asking. for
= decision by the public on the basis of Justice after a
proper investigation. but by inflicting such injuries on
the public that that public will, in sheer desperation,
bring enough pressure to bear on the employing compa-
MES to force them to yield to whatever demands have
been made upon them. When Mr.. Konenkamp says that
everything is progressing satisfactorily. he means that the
American people are suffering injury. The success Of his
movements measured by, the extent Of the injury. That
needs to be distinctly understood. iI.Mf
