money as they took from the people last
year.

duBarrv room of the Hotel du Pont,
for the rest of this week, from 10 until lo.

register of Wilmington men, women and
babies.
Among the more than 600 prints which
hang on the screens devoted to them, fully
half are pictures of children; infants on
pllows and in arms, "kiddies" by them
selves. with their brothers, sisters, mothers
and rrandfathers, their pets and their
playthings; all with the charm that comes
from the candor of youth and its freedom
from pose, and the characteristic expires
sion that usually persists through hte'
and comes out by comparison, though
pverlaid with temporary variations
Likewise grouped together are studies
pf bows in the school stage, girls as sub
dchs and debs blushing brides, stately
matrons and the solid citizenry of business
men. Examples of other branches OF the
Photographic craft in the way OF repro
auctions of old daguerreotypes and pant,
inrs and specimens of lifelike coiorlng oi
photographic originals give variety tc
fhe display. which is notable for nigh

NO CHARGES AGAINST
DR.. GEORGE P. JONES
Elkton Minister Has Requested
Transfer, Which Will Prob
ably be Granted.

Criticism of the activity of Rev. DR..
George z. Jones in performing marriages
at EIkton, Md, has not been reflected
at the present session of the Wilmington
Methodist Episcopal conference. DR..
Jones viii probably be transferred to
another pastorate, as he has requested a
change, but not only have no charges
been made against him, but there has
been even no initimation among church
officials that his conduct has not been
entirely proper.
Because OF Elkton fame as a "Gretna
Green. DR.. Jones has been called upon
to perform hundreds of marriage cere-
monies during his five years there. In
performing them, in full accord with the
law and the practice Of the church, he
has earned perhaps $4,000 year IN
addition to his salary. It is jealousy OF
this. his supporters say, that has led to
criticism OF him as a marrying parson:
DR. Jones has been a member OF VIII
mington conference for 29 years. He has
been district superintendent and chairman
of important committees lie VIII
probably be appointed to one OF the largest
churches In the conference.
