u. S. Ship Seizure
Believed Part of
Irish Gun Plot
Investigators Declare Two
OF Rapid Firers Found
at Hoboken We're Set
Up Ready for Action

Assistant United States District At
torney Isaac Gross of the District OF
Northern New Jersey learned yester-
day from Investigators Of the Depart
ment Of Justice that two of the Thomp-
sen sub-machine guns seized Wednes-
day aboard the steamship East Side
were set up ready for action when
they were found. The guns had been
carefully cleaned and loaded drums
had been attached.
1t is the belief of the Federal au-
thorities, fortified by information
cabled from England, that the Sim
Feiners counted on the 495 seized
weapons to equip their army, which
recently was reported as ready to take
the field against the forces of the Brit
ish crown.
In the opinion of investigators it
was the design Of the conspirators to
employ the two guns that were ready
for action to dominate the officers and
crew of the East Side and make possible
the landing of the arms at q safe place
along the Irish coast
Dispatches from Dublin yesterday re-
ported the seizure by Sim Fein forces

eighteen miles of Dublin. This was in
terpreted by those investigating the al
legged gunrunning plot as part of the
move to make it possible to land che
sub machine guns without interference
from the crown forces
1t was recalled by the investigators
that during the war German sea raid
ers on several occasions placed on
board captured vessels small guards
armed with automatic pistols and hand
grenades, who were thus enabled to
keep the officers, crew and passengers
subject to their will. With machine
guns, the Federal authorities said yes

matter for men secreted among the
crew-either deck or engine room-to

Lawn Fete a Success

The lawn fete held last Thursday
evening at Ogletown School was
great success even though it had to
be postponed from Wednesday night,
due to rain. The people of the COM
munity supplied an abundance of
homemade cake and candy and fancy
articles which were sold at very good
prices.
The Red Mems Band was scheduled
to play on Wednesday night and as
they had previous engagements for
the following evening it was impossi-
BILE for them to be present.
The money cleared from this fete
is to be used for the library fund,

Farmers Told
to Advertise
5000 Attend Picnic in Sussex

Cooperation in the planting of
crops, as we'll as in the marketing, is
necessary for the success of the farm
ers of today, according to S. j.
Lowell of New York State, master of
the National Grange, at a combined
picnic of the Sussex County Grange
and members of the Farm Bureau,
held at Oak Orchard, Delaware.
Nearly five thousand farmers attend
ed the picnic, most of them coming in
their own automobiles.
w. J. Coverdale, secretary of the
National Farm Bureau Federation,
was also speaker and explained
what changes the Farm Bureau is
making throughout the country by in
stituting new method of marketing
crops by taking short cut through
the present maze of agents and COM
mission men. Advertising, especially
newspaper advertising, is to be ex-
tensively used during the next year
to show the customers how to secure
farm products much cheaper and yet
give the farmer better price. The
parcel post system also came in for
praise and has furnished the farmer
with the means of reaching city con-
sumers at a small cost.
R. j. Allen of Seaford, president of
the County Farm Bureau, and Robert
G. Houston, prominent granger of
Georgetown, were also speakers.

Democrat Muddle
Admitted
Leading Democratic Paper
Gives Interpretation

The friction which developed at the
meeting of the Democratic State
Committee at Rehoboth, Saturday,
when an unsuccessful attempt was
made to elect a national committee
man, proves that the stand which
Every Evening has taken on certain
political matters within the past three
months is right.
The action in the committee was in
part rebellion against steam roller
methods, and was a formal protest
against certain political transaction
which is yet fresh in the public mind.
Andrew Gray is not national COM
mitteeman today because of the blum
ders of his political managers. The
first mistake was made when the men
from Sussex were not officially noti-
fled that this meeting was to be held
for the purpose of selecting ma
tlonal committeeman. Those gentle
men rightly thought that they should
at least have been extended that
courtesy in the official call.
Mistake number two was registered
when it was attempted to nominate
Mr.. Gray without previously consult
ing the committeeman who live in the
lower portion of the State. Those
gentlemen were for harmony also, but
they did not desire to have it attained
by being crushed by the steam roller.
They wanted to feel that they had a
hand in the selection of the party's
leader.
The third error-and this was the
most serious of all--was in permit
ting man of Mr.. Gray's popularity
to be sponsored by the faction which
does not seem to be in good standing
in the party at the present time. If
Mr.. Gray's name had been advanced
in some other way we believe that he
would have been unanimously chosen
say, for example, if it had been ar

Newark Has
Building Boom
Several New Homes Being
Erected---Others Planned

Building Boom" is the big word in
Newark just now. Contractors,
plumbers and mechanics report more
work than they can do. Contractor
Griffin is pushing the work on the
Crompton residence on South Acad-
emy Street which will be completed
early in September. His work on the
Rehabilitation Building has been tenn
porarily held up due to non-arrival of
structural steel. This work will be
finished around the University OPEN
ing. Griffin has also been awarded
the contract for the fine residence of
John R. Chapman and ground was
broken yesterday on Welsh Lane and
Kells Avenue.
The Cleaves bungalow on Kells
Avenue, built by Contractor Greer, is
complete and is attracting favorable
comment. Wollaston has three houses
started on his development on Kells
Avenue.
Robert Lewis is remodeling the old
Clark home recently purchased by
him.
Squire Lovett, through Contractor
Greer, is going ahead with his new
home up in the Orchard.
In all, the building season is turn
ing out exceptionally well.

Traits Regulations Needed

Observing citizens have suggested
that Academy Street between Main
and Delaware Avenue be made a one
way traffic street. Increased travel
and the fact that it is a school street
at both intersections make it especi-
ally dangerous. Several narrow es-
capes have been reported recently. At
least a Observation-Disclosures sign
should be provided before school
opening, is the comment of those ac-
quainted with the traffic conditions in
this section.
