No Word of Capture in Hol-
land; Authorities
Abandon Hope
LEFT WORKHOUSE
ONE MONTH AGO

Lemuel Price, Negro. murderer Of
Patrolman Thomas L. Zebley, VINO es-
capped from the New Castle county
workhouse while awaiting the sentence
Of death imposed by the judges Of the
Oyer and Terminer Court, is still at
large. It was just a month ago last
night that Price made his getaway. He
was TO have been hanged on Friday,
January 9, for the murder OF Patrolman
Zebley, four months ago today.
While the state officials and the
County workhouse trustees have offered
a Joint reward Of $500 for Prices cap
ture, he has eluded the officers so far.
Numerous clues have been run down
since the man escaped, but none OF
them appears to have been worth while
II was thought that the negro would
be found aboard the British steamer
Nina Beva. which sailed from Marcus
Hook for Rotterdam on December 30,
the day following the negro's escape.
This vessel has sailed for this country
from Rotterdam and as the State De-
partment authorities at Washington
have not notified the local authorities
that Price was aboard that vessel, itI
is assumed that this clue furnished by
a guard at the Marcus Hook plant Of
the Pure Oil Company about a strange
Negro boarding the vessel was un-
founded

Maryland Couples
MAY WE'D AT ONCE,
IF PARENTS SAY so

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 30.-The frst
discussion OF the session was precipi-
ateed In the Senate yesterday follow
ing the consideration OF Senator Ep-
piers marriage bill which came on a
second reading. This measure Is de
signed TO break up elOpements from
other states where the laws would pro-
hibit the unions contemplated or where
parents or guardians object 10 the
marriage. The Committee on Judicial
Proceedings not only reported this bill
favorably, but submitted amendments
that made the provisions even more
stringent. As it reads now, no couple
can el0pe from any city in the State
20 another or from any county 70 an
other and be married until within 4S
hours after serucing a license, nor can
any couple come from another State
to Maryland and be welded until &c
hours after the Issuance Of a license.
An exception Is made where the par
ent or guardian consents to an i'm
mediate marriage, such consent being
either In writing or In person.
Opposition developed 10 those pro-
visions on the part OF President Norris
and other Senators who thought the
restrictions inadvisable. Senator Biggs
made the point that II this law be-
come effective It must apply to aged
couples who have neither parents nor
guardians.
Senator Eppler, the author OF the
measure, thereupon explained why he
favored the stringent provisions, his
purpose being to prevent couples who
were prohibited by the laws IN sdjoin-
ing States from marrying because OF
physical defects or for other reasons,
from coming here to evade their laws.
He told OF the marriage trust In Ale
CLANCY county and the way the minis
ters there abused their authority.

able excitement among the students
this morning but little damage was
done The flre was in the Freshmen

flue. A large ioice backs up against the
flue and In some manner 10 caught
fire. The smoke attracted the attention
.of teachers and students and the fire
company was notified The blaze was
extinguished by the flremen with a
hand extingusher.
The room where the FIRE was dlscov-
cred adjoins the jantor's quarters and

have been much more serious. 10 was
necessary to cut into a portion OF the
wall to get TO the smoulderiig flames.
School was dismissed for the remainder
OF the day while repairs are being
made.
The building Is one OF the oldest and
most historic in the State. Il was
formerly the Newark Academy and was
a grant from Penn under control OF the
Newark Academy trustees The trus-
tees can not dispose Of the property and
IL was for this reason that the local
board OF education had to secure
ground in another location for the pro-
posed high school. Three signers OF
the Declaration Of Independence at
tended Newark Academy and there Is a
tablet on the front Of the building
commemorating that fact. Il is said
that a portion OF the building was

that provision will be made TO con-
tinue the good work that has been De
gun by the commission so that II may
