which announced that Former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft had come
out publicly in favor Of Woman Suf-
frage, was received this morning by
Miss Mary r. deVoe, Of the publicity
committee Of the State association. Mr..
Taft, who formerly opposed woman
suffrage, told the delegates at the Ma
tional Conference on the League OF Ma
tions ct ST. Louis, Missouri, that he
had changed his mind. and now thought
the ballot would be good both fo-
women and for the country. The rea-
sons he gave were that he thought
women more sensitive 10 the trend Of
public opinion than men and less ham
pered by political traditions. Also he
considered the vast number OF women
who have come into industry would
need the ballot for protection. TO en-
able them 10 meet on equal terms the

ATTEMPTED MURDER

Allen Garvin, a white man living at
Namaan's Greek road near Claymont,
was arrested last night by State Detec-
tive McCoyat the trolley car station at
Claymont on charges OF assault and
battery and also attempted murder. Gar
win was given a hearing before Magls-
trate ellis this, afternoon and held un-
der $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury on
the charge of attempted murder. The
assault charge was abandoned.
That State Detective Mccoy was not
killed by Garvin Is considered a miracle,
according to eye witnesses to the
struggle, between the official and Gar
win for possession OF .32 calibre re-
volver which Garvin had and which he
fired at the official twice. While none
Of the bullets struck Detective Mccoy,
in the tussle for the weapon, the on
GERS fingers were laid open by the
muzzle of the weapon which he
grabbed and wrested from Garvin.

March Comes Like Pro-

Satisfied
BUDS BEGIN SO
SWELL ON TREES

When March comes in with gentle
beatings and lamblike friskiness, es 10
did today, every soul in Wilmington
feels a tremendous yearning 10 take a
walk along the Brandywine. Hun
dreds Of good citizens obeyed that inn
pulse today and counted robins and
blackbirds ell the way from Market
street, on the Brandywine, up 10 Ban
croft's mills. To judge by the reports
telephoned in by enthusiasts TO The
Evening Journal, there were exactly 237
robins and 3J6 blackbirds between the
points mentioned.
The animals in the zoo had more free
lunches donated by visitors than has
been their luck for months. The black
bear said he had bags full OF crusts
candy, honey, peanuts and cake. and
he was wishing for many happy re-
turns OF the day.
A number of observers, all Joking
aside, saw 1oeks OF geese going north
a convincing sign OF spring.
One small boy who saw a bird taking
bath In the Brandywine, and was told
by his daddy that the bird was a king
fisher, got slightly confused He went
home and Informed his mother that hC
saw King George taking a bath in the
Brandywine.
The only disappointed people were
the pessimists who had predicted TO-
day would see everybody going around
In raincoats and with open umbrellas.
Oh. the buds are swelling in the trees
spring hats are futtering in the breeze
but this thing is turning into poetry
and that VIII never do. Here's hoping
