PisToL-ToTERs AND VAC
RANTS

Among the prisoners in the Police
Court this morning were two negro
men charged with having pistols in
their possession. Shortly after re-
ports of highway robberies had been
made to the station house Saturday
night members of the police force
started in search Of the footpads.
The officers accosted all suspicious
negroes and searched them. They
found two thdy stopped carried pis-
tolls. One had lacge-size revolver,
and the other a smaller weapon,
from which the chamber had been
removed. They we're fined $50 each.
The man with the smaller pistol paid
his fine. 1t was shown that he hal
had the frearm repaired Saturday
and that the cylinder was in It when
he left tha repair shop. He had evl-
den.iy managed to remove the
chamber before the Officer searched
him. He supposed that as the weap-
en- was powerless without the cham
ber he could net be- fined. This
dream, however, had no effect upor
the court.
A negro who was suspected Of

serve ninety days in jail fer vag-
rancy. The execution OF judgment
was suspended for one hour, how,
ever, in order that the deiinaueFt
might secure employment. A police.

Have Huge Bonfire
To Celebrate Victory

Hundreds of persons from New
ark and vicinity helped by their
presence to celebrate Delaware's
victory over Penn with the college
students on Wednesday night.
A huge pile composed of rubbish
of all sorts,-portions of old build
ings, fences, and every kind of in
fammable material had been erect
ed on the green between the two
colleges. Material for the bonfire
had been collected by crews of
students who had secured town
and country, thus adding a third
"clean up" day. to the two decreed
by the City Fathers Of Newark. To
the credit of the "clean up" sys-
tenn let it be said that comparative
ly little infammable material
could be secured legitimately with
in the town limits. Kind hearted
supporters of the Blue and Gold
made valuable contributions to the
blaze and others equally Jealous
made wholly involuntary contribu-
tions.
The night was perfectly calm and
the blaze rose skyward sending
showers of sparks which fell harm
lessly in the immediate vicinity of
the bonfire.
In the absence of J. Gordon Nc
MILAN, president of the Student
Council, Garrett Cantwell presid-
ed. Earle Ewing, led the singing
and cheering and the Freshman
class secuted around and brought
forward the modest members of
the ball team who were not suf-
ficiently fleet to get away. DR..

ColonePs Maid A
Pronounced Success

"The ColonePs Maid" presented
by local talent under the direction
of Mrs. Herman R. Tyson on
Monday evening in the Opera
House was in the opinion of local
critics the best production given
by local talent in recent years,
each actor starring in his partic-
ular role. The popularity of Mrs
Tyson's plays was attested by the
speedy-selling out of the house and
the demand for more tickets.
While all the returns are not vet
in, indications are that a very
creditable sum will be cleared for
the building fund. $50 was cleared
from the sale of candy alone.
After the play the members of
the cast and their friends were
entertained at dance in the New
Century Club.

The time-honored snake dance
