ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP ON
DELAWARE AVENUE

A variation of the first floor
burglarie which have furnished
excitement to householders this
past year, was tried by two local
knights of the road on Sunday
evening when they with the aid of
a dog attempted to hold up Conrad
X. D. Lewis on Delaware Avenue
shortly after the arrival of the
midnight train.
The young man was homeward
bound when at a point opposite
the grounds of Wolf Hall, he was
called upon to halt. The two men
with the aid of the dog made an in
effective triangle from which
Lewis escaped in the direction of
Main Street. Here he enlisted the
aid of Eugene and Ferd Stiltz and
an unavailing effort was made to
locate the would-be footpads.
The identity of the men was dis
covered through sleuth work of
the young men within the next
day or so. Their defense is that
they thought an attempt was on
foot to burglarize Wolf Hall and
they were anxious to foil this at,
tempt.

Pubic Schools To
Open Next Tuesday
Full Corps Of Teachers
Signed Up For Season
Building and Grounds Put In
Shape For Reception Of
Students And Teacher,

The public schools under the d.
rection Of the Board of Education
and Superintendent Owens, are
being put in readiness for the
opening of the academic season
which begins next Tuesday, Sep
tember 7.
The buildings have received a
thorough cleaning ana airing,
necessary repairs have been made,
supplies have been ordered and
every thing relative to the physi-
cal plant has been put in good
order for the reception of the stu
dents and teachers.
Newark is particularly fortu
nate in having a full corps of
teachers signed up for the season.
A large proportion of last years
force is returning. In the Prim-
ary School, of the five teachers
employed, only one is newcomer,
Miss Pauline Rutledge who sue
ceeds Miss Alva Lockhart as
critic teacher in charge of the
| first grade. In the Grammar
School, Misses Verna Brown,
Madge Nickerson and Olive
Heiser were elected this year. The
last two are residents of the town.
Miss Anna Gallaher who was one
of the faculty here last year was
transferred to the High School.
Superintendent Owens has been
in Newark almost daily for the
past month in conference with the
Board and with the teachers. The
record of promotions and other
data necessary for expeditions
enrolment, are in good shape so
that the army of 500 or more
children who will besiege the
schools on Tuesday can be taken
care Of readily.
The county schools, Sc in num-
ber, will also open on Tuesday.
These too, in the main, are ready
for occupancy. There are rela-
lively few vacancies here. Of the
152 teachers employed there are
ten yet to be secured in spite of
the fact that the standard for
I teachers is much higher than in
previous years.
All supplies have been ordered
and are ready for distribution
next Tuesday.

NEWARk-WIL-
MINGTON ROAD TO
BE REPAIRED
J.. K. Johnston Makes Formal
Complaint to Levy Court
on Behalf of Citizens

While much grumbling and
more profanity have resulted
from the uncomfortable jolting
over the rough and rutty road be-
tween Roseville and Pike Creek,
little or no actual complaint has
been, made to the Levy Court
which is responsible for the exist
ing conditions.
Yesterday, however, John K.
Johnston, representing the citi-
zens of Newark, made formal
complaint to that body, stating
that those who made the journey
to Wilmington, and those who
have occasion to use this road to
reach Newark, have reached the
limit of their patience.
County Engineer Grubb inform
ed Mr.. Johnston that the new
road between Roseville and White
Clay Creek Church will be finish
ed by the end of this working set
son. From this point on the road
will be repaired, leveled and put
into good shape for winter travel
This will be welcome news to
Newark residents who, to quote
Chief Engineer Upham after he
had made the trip between here
and Wilmington, have been Every
good natured indeed" to endure
such discomfort for so long q
period without formal demand
that the road be made fit fol
travel. Mr.. Upham's statement
the traffic between Newark ant
Wilmington would justify the ex
penditure of a considerable sun
for temporary repairs, was M
doubt determining factor in th'
decision to lay formal complain
before the Levy Court.
