Woman Writer at Indiana Con

Short of Name.
Bv KATHLEEN M'KEE.

Having been possessed always of an
unaccountable desire to become accuaint-

l seized on the occasion of attending the
state convention of the farmer-labor
party.
On entering the hall my attention was
centered on a gentleman frantically talk

surroundin i'm that he was the future

The popularity Of the credentlal stand
was something perfectly wonderful, and
I judged that the farmer-labor party
must be a very exclusive organization.
a large number OF the delegates wore
black and white striped shirts, appAr-
emily having a hankering after the real
ching which they could not procure for
the occasion.
I noticed also that black ties were in
vogue, supposing that the delegates were
in mourning for some brother, presum-
ably Eugene Debs.

LOVELY VARIETY
OF WHISPERS.
The most lovely variety Of whiskers
were exhibited by the delegates. especial
ly the kind that curl up at the tails.
Disappointment overwhelmed me, how
ever. since none needed hair cut.
The general removal OF coats on entry
into the hall convinced me that the ladies'
are admitted to the convention on equal
terms with the men.
I haven't been able to figure out yet
how it Is a farmer-labor organization, be-
cause I didn't see any farmers, and most
" all looked like loafers instead Of la
borers
Violent handshakes extending from
three to five minutes were noteworthy ex-
amples Of brotherly love.

some more pretentious than others.

pounds, or 38 cents a gallon.
Producers now receive 1874 a

The decrease in price to the

This is the first reduction in

anything else-since prices be-

FIRE THREATENS BRICK
STORE LANDING PROPERTY
TIMELY ARRIVAL OF SMYRNA
FIRE ENGINE SAVES HOME OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Slaughter-De-
fective Flue in Open Fire Place
The Cause-Damage Slight

Fire broke out in the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Slaughter on
the BrckstOre Landing Farm about
five o'clock Saturday afternoon, and
but for the timely arrival of the Smyr-
ma Fire Company with, their chemical
engine, the dwelling and outbuildings
might have been reduced to ashes.
The farm is owned by the Rev. Alex
ander G. Cummins DID,. of Pough-
keepsie, NY. When the fire broke out
Mrs. Slaughter was entertaining some
friends and they were sitting before
the open hearth at which a cheerful
woodfire was balzing. The brick fire
place, it seems, was defective, for the
flames ignited the woodwork back of
the brick and shot up behind the
weather-boards, the alarm was given.
smoke was seen emenating from the
weather-bOards, the aallm was given.
The Smyrna firemen were quick to re-
spond, and had they been twenty min
utes later, it is doubtful whether they
could have saved the residence. While
Mr.. Slaughter and helping hands~en
deavOred to extinguish the fire before
the truck came, others weer helping
Mrs. Slaughter move out the fu1ni-
ture. The chemical pump was i'm
mediately brought into play and soon
flames which had by this, time envel-
oped the whole chimney place and
were fast spreading to the building,
were eXtinguished. The loss will
amount to about a hundred dollars
which was covered by insurance. Mr..
and Mrs. Slaughter feel grateful for
the splendid work of the Smylna
tiremen. The way the wind was
blowing it seemed almost certain the
building was doomed, and it would
have been had it not been for the
quick work of the firemen. A number
OF Smyrna automobiles were sped to
the scene of the fire. One car, the
truck of John c. Mannering, driven
by Grant Garris, overturned in it's
haste to get there when it came in
contact with some sandy roads. No
damage was done, but the
occupants of the car had narrow es-
cape.

SMYRNA GIRLS AT CONFERENCE
High School Girls From all Parts of
the State Met at Dover Sat~
urday and Hear Addresses

Pauline Pryor, May Thompson,
Anna Scriven, Eva Wiley, Eliza
Cook, Frances Sevil and Ctaharyn
johnson attended the High School
Conference held Saturday at Dover
under the auspices of the Y. w. C. A.
The girls were chaperoned by Miss
Esther Maxwell. Miss Anna Bell
Beckett also attended and contribut
ed to the round table discussion.
Nearly 100 school girls and workers
from all parts of the State were in
conference. Miss Mabel Krall, State
secretary, was in charge. Miss Ger
trude Prack, secretary of the Mary
land Y. w. C. A., was preesnt and
made hit with her address on
"Neighbor."
The main address was made by
Miss Anna Mansfield Clark, national
county secretary Of the Y. w. C. A.,
her subject being, Discovering Thy
self" The thought of the address
was to work, keep at it and do it
well. "After High School, What"
was opened by Miss Beckett, a teach
er of the Smyrna high school, who
spoke of her work as teacher and
the love she had for that work, en-
phasizing the Importance of training
for the future, which she declared in
these days was truly patriotic duty.
Miss Comstock of the Home Econ
Omics Department of Kent county;
Miss Mary Moran of the Red Cross;
Miss VanSycle and others also made
helpful addresses. The amusement
part of the conference was not for
gotten, and at periods in the morning
and afternoon on Dover Green, games
were indulged in which enlivened the
occasion. Saturday evening at Hotel
Richardson a banquet was served the
girls and workers, at which

UNABLE TO BREAK STAND.OF
HOUSE TO FAVOR SUFFRAGE
RESOLUTION WAS NOT CALLED
UP MONDAY AS EXPECTED
Recess of Legislature Failed to Bring
Change in Attitude of Members
Prominent Politicians There

A number from Smyrna motored to
Dover Monday at the reconvening of
the Legislature after a recess to wit
ness whatever might come of the Suf-
frage question, which was due to be
called up. Action on the question,
however, was deferred. The House of
Representatives adjourned at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon following a
spectacular demonstration in favor of
ratification without a parallel in the
legislative history of the State. Re-
publican leaders acting as a unit
pleaded with their brethren in the
House to no avail. Following a con-
ference of the Republican members
of the House with the leaders Floor
Leader Lyons called for a secret bal
lot with the following result: Suf-
frage 10; "Antis" 6; blanks and s
absent.
Monday night the fate of the
amendment hung In the balance, with
suffragists basing their hopes for uI-
innate success On the Republicanism
OF the HOues members, but even the
party whip will not move the legis-
lators from their original stand. The
question was not brought up at the
session yesterday, and it is hardly
probable it will be this week, if it is
ever brought up.
While some of the suffrage advo-
Gates seem optimistic, none can be
found who are willing to tell, if they
know, on what they base this opti-
mism. Nevertheless, they are hard at
work, as are also opponents of suf-
frage, in an effort to prevent break
against them.
Everybody in the House seems to
be thoroughly tired of the whole mat
ter, and it is believed all would well
ocme chance to get the resolution
over from the Senate so that it could
be voted upon in the House and fin
ally disposed of in one way or an
other. AS matters now stand, the
are being importuned at
every turn by friends or opponents of
suffrage, and much of their time is
thus consumed that might be used
in the transaction of other business.

DIR. COOK TO VISIT STATE
Newly Elected Bishop of Diocese to
Survey Field First

Rev. Philip Cook, D. D., of Balti-
more, Nd, who was notified of his
election as bishop of the Delaware
Episcopal Diocese Tuesday, will visit
Wilmington Thursday, May 27. On
this date the newly elected bishop
will confer with the notification and
standing committees of the diocese
Later he will make a canvass of the
local field.
1t is understood that DR.. Cook will
make no statement prior to his
meeting the two committees in Will
mington. While local Episcopalians
have felt reasonably certain that DR..
Cook would accept the post here, in
commenting on the matter a Balti-
more paper states:
"The general sentiment as ex-
pressed in Episcopal Church circles
and among some of the leading mem
bers, is that DIR. Cook will not accept
the new position, in view of the large
field in which he is now engaged and
also in view of the fact that he is
still comparatively young man and
has only served his present parish
about four years."

POTATOES DOWN THE STATE
Banner Crop is Looked Forward 10
In Lower Part of Peninsula q

In the two peninsula counties of
Virginia, Accomac and Northampton,
the pOtatO-growers are looking for
ward to a banner year. The potato
acreage there this year is greater by
10 per cent than ever before, accord
ing to experts.
1t is true that the recent heavy
rains and cold weather damaged
some of the seed most early planted,
but the loss to the crop from this
cause is said to lie immaterial.
One Accomac county grower has
set out 1400 barrels of Cobbler potato
seed, has bought fertilizer and man.
ure for this.crop at cost of $21 900,
and has contracted to buy 1900 bar
,rels for shipping the tubers at $1.10
each. 1t is estimated that with the
prices equal to thise of last season,
and with a fair crop, this grower will
net about $4,000 from his potato
field investment.
Accomac and Northampton coun-
ties in Virginia in the heart of the po-
tato season ship on an average of 60
carloads of potatoes day, each car
ontining $50 barrels and each bar
rel containing approximately three
lushels of the t'IIers.

CASE UNDER NEW CODE
Man Held Because His Boys Were
Not Sent to School

A case before Justice of the Peace
E. F, Wood, involving an interpreta-
tiOn of the new School Code, which
was to have been heard Monday aft
ernoon, had to be taken to the Court
of General Sessions, as a Justice of
the Peace has no jurisdiction to hear
such cases. The action was against
William Rash of West Dover humid
red, on a charge of permitting his
two boys, aged II and IA years re-
spectively, to remain away from
school. The suit was brought by H.
V. Holloway, county school supenn-
tendent.
AT the hearing Rash was represents
ed by John B. Hutton, who raised the
right of justice of the peace to hear
such a case for two reasons: First,
the constitutional reason that a JUS
tice of the peace can only hear cases
prescribed by law where two
thirds vote of all the members of the
General Assembly has concurred
therein; second, that the code no
where provided for the hearing of
such cases by justice of the peace.
Deputy-Attoney General Satterfeld
also held that under the laws mag
istrate could not hear the case. Rash
was then held in $1OO bail for the
Court of General Sessions.
