HOLDS Up CLERK
OF GROCERY STORE
At PISTOL POINT
Frank Conner. With Prison Rec
ord, Held in $1,000 Bail
for Court.

Charged with attempted robbery. Frank
Conner was held under 81 900 bail for trial
at tie Court of General Sessions by
Judge Hastings in Municipal Court this
morning. Conner was taken into custody
on Saturday night near Twelfth and
French streets after he had attempted TO
rob a store on French street.
According to Jacob Chalk, the proprietor,
Conner walked into the store with re-
volver and ordered Barney Weinstock,
Chaik's brother-in-law, to hold up his
hands. Chalk, coming in at the door,
seized Conner and wrenched the revolver
from his hands Conner ran out Of the
store and Chalk followed him with the
revolver in hand and ordered him to
stop Conner paid no heed to the warning
and Chalk fired but in the heat of the
chase the bullet went wild.
A report that man had been shot
brought out the police patrol and Conner
was taken TO headquarters as a witness.
Chalk was arrested because he had the
weapon Explanation at headquarters
showed the mistake and Chalk was freed
and Conner locked up. Conner is said TO
have bad record, already having served
a term for an attempted hold up.
Much excitement was caused by the
sound OF the shots and a large number
of people returning from the Community
Sing gathered at the place Of the arrest.
Officers William f. Blacklston and George
/. Sutton made the arrest.

PLAN REGISTRATION
OF DELAWARE WOMEN
In Case Tennessee Legislature
Adopts Suffrage Amend
mcnt.

The local committees of the Democratic
and Republican parties are preparing To
provide for woman's suffra &c in Della
ware if the Tennessee Legislature passes
the bill now before it. The Republican city
committee has already taken active steps
in the matter, but although the Democrats
local Department Of Elections has made
no action as yet a plan has been outlined
by which the work will go right ahead as
soon rs word has been received. This
department will be able to register all
the women who apply in the two days
left, according TO Lambert j. Foulk, chief
of the Department.
If the Tennessee House passes the bill,
which has already been passed by the
Senate, 125 new sets of registrars will
have TO he appointed and the city will
have TO be redistricted.
Thomas l.. Pceney, secretary Of the
Republican city committee, thinks il is
impossible TO register oil the women who
are qualified in two DAYS. but Mr.. Foulk
does not share this opinion. A special ses-
sion of the legislature would be necessary
to increase the number of registration
davs.
Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles. leader Of
the Delaware Women's party, also has a
plan of action outlined for her party
members.

CHARLES WARNER
APPROVES OF ANTI
VOTE BUYING PLAN
Hasn't Read Democratic Chair
mans Letter But is in Sym
pathy With Idea.

Charles Warner, Republican State
chairman, welcomes the proposition of
Henry r. lsaacs, Democratic State Chair
man, 20 endeavor to conduct the coming
election free from debsuchery and vote
buying
Mr.. Warner returned today from a
week s vacation, spent in cruising on the
Chesapeake W hen seen at his office at
the Charles Warner Company at noon
TODAY, he stated that he had been in the
office but few minutes and had not
had time to read or consider MIR. Isaacs
letter
"Mv position has alwavs been under
stood, said Mr.. Warner II am for
clean election every time, not alone this
time, and my friends know that. Until
| have time 10 read Mr.. lsaaes' letter,
cannot determine what NV reply viii be,
but if IL deals solely with clean election,
then ] shall-be heartily in sympathy with
it.
During his absence Mr.. Warner was
out of touch, practically. with what was
going on in Delaware politics, and conse-
Quentlv could not speak aut horltativelv
concerning conditions as they exist today
The illness Of Chairman Isaacs mother,
near Georgetown. kept the Democratic
State leader out of the city today, but at
his office il was stated that he expected
TO return tonight if his mother continued
to improve 1t was Mr.. Isaacs' intention
before he left for the state committee
meeting at Georgetown on Friday, to
discuss with MIR Warner the anti-bribery
matter as soon as he received a reply from
the Republican chairman.
With both chairmen of one mind on
the subject of preventing vote buying,
political leaders believe that the fall election
will be considerably different affair from
some elections that have occurred IN the
past.
Both Republicans and Democrats APP
pear to be settling their personal grievanc-
es apart from the primaries. Many of
the contests that appeared imminent
among the Republicans have been adj
justed among the seekers after delegate
honors. The same is true of the Democrats,
which indicates that the contest between
the two parties will be the keener because
of the absence of inside friction.
In the Twelfth ward contest between
Thomas b. Malone and Councilman
Murray, Democrats, has been adjusted.
Malone has withdrawn as q candidate
for delegate In order to promote harmony
among the Democrats and has adjusted
