After the talks had been conclud

concerning the levying of taxes for
the provision Of funds for the schools
everywhere. The majority favored
FIVE mill tax, which under the new
school law makes the indiidual coun-
ty levy a local tax as a county and
not as a school district. This was
explained that an increase would be

Mrs. Sharpe Presents
Appeal For Starving
Children

Mrs Lillian Sharpe, representing
the Near East Armenian Relief or
ganization headquarters in Atlanta,
addressed the pupils of the high
school during the week on the sit
uation in Turkish Armenia. She
presented q very vivid picture Of con
ditions in that country and asked
that the high school contribute
enough to take care of one child for
one year. She said that if each pu-
pill would bring Is cents this would
take care OF one starving child for
one year. This small amount could
be easily raised, she said, if the AM
CIRCUS children who are blessed with
plenty were willing to make some sac
rifcc.
The cooperation Of parents in the
matter would be greatly appreciated,
she said.
Miss Myrtle Rushin IS chairman Of
the committee at The high school and
will have charge of all contributions
there, while Lee Hodson is county
chairman and will receive other do
nations at the Bank Of Commerce.

SHOWN
By PLAINS TEAM
Basketball Five Being
Developed Rapidly
By Principal

A basketball team has been organ
lied at the Plains High school with
Prof. Thomas Morgan as coach. Three
games played in the past ten days
have resulted in one victory and two
defeats for the Plains lads. This is
regarded as an excellent showing as
none of the players have heretofore
had any experience in the game, al
though under the coaching of Prof
Morgan they have shown much
promise.
The first game was played Fri
day week ago, with Preston in
that city and was won by Plains
by a score of IS to 9. Tuesday they
played the fast Parrot five and
were DICTATED by Sc to 4. Friday
afternoon they played the fast Union
High at Leslie, the team that de-
feated the Americas High a week
ago, losing by a score Of 26 to II.
The Plains lads are practicing hard
and expect to have as good FIVE
as any in the county. There is
some good material among the stu
dents and as soon as they under
stand The game Plains will be heard
from in the basketball world

With this cry of anguish
Madame Georges Carpenter
left her apartment in Paris
early today and went to the
home Of her parents in the

She told her maid that the
strain of remaining in Paris
alone all during the day OF her
husbands fight with Jack
Dempsey would be too much
for her.
She plans to return tonight
and in company with a few in
innate friends and relatives
and await the result of the
fight
The strain Of the last few
hours broke through Madame
Carpenters brave and smiling
front with which she has been
meeting all visitors. She be-
came increasingly nervous and
yesterday was so upset she
couldn't endure the ordeal OF
meeting any except a few of her
oldest friends.
She told them she was trying
to be brave and worthy OF her
fighting husband.

statement to make, Senator Wolcott
replied:
Severe things have been said
about this matter but these 1
will forget
I shall enter upon the dis
charge of the duties of the office
without prejudice to any man
and shall endeavor, insofar as in
me lies to administer its duties
in accordance with my concep-
ton of their sacred character.
Further than this. the Senator
said he had no other statement to
make. He gave no intimation as to
just when he will resign his seat in
the United States Senate and be
sworn in as Chancellor.
Mr.. Wolcott's term as senator
would not expire until the winter of
1928.
Secretary of State Alden r. Ben
son made the following statement
relative TO the prospective new SEN
otor:
Il am satisfied that If the ap-
pointment of United States Senator
is rendered to General T. Coleman
DUPONT that he will accept the
same"
Secretary Benson added that he
felt sure General DUPONT would be
willing to serve his state and party
If it was so desired.
Judge Daniel o. Hastings, of Will
mington. who has been mentioned
prominently as likely to be APP
pointed United States Senator by
Governor Denney. was asked early
this afternoon as to whom he
thought the Governor would APP
point Senator to succeed Mr. VOL
colt.
Judge Hastings, by his reply, made
It clear that he advocates appoint
ment of General T. Coleman du-
Pont as Senator. and further ex-
presses a belief that II the appoint
mert should be rendered to Genera
DUPONT he would accept 1t Judge
Hastings said:
General 7. Coleman DUPONT
stands out so prominently above
all others that I should think
there would be but one question
to consider. and that is whether
OF not he would take the Sena-
torship.
Il have been in close enough
touch with him to know that II
he be satisfied the Republicans
of this State want him ap-
pointed. he would accept the ap-
pointment n rendered him.
The fight against the confirmation
of Senator Wolcott as Chancellor
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday il
the State Senate was especially bite

and attracted wide attention but he
was confirmed by a vote of 10 to
7. Senators opposing confirmation
charged that deal" had been
made.
Senator Wolcott's decision today
to accept came after be and Gov
ernor Denney had a long confer
ence late yesterday in Dover. The
Governor came from Rehoboth,
where he and his family are on a
vacation. expressly to talk over the
situation with Senator Wolcott. At
the conclusion of the conference, it is
understood, Mr.. Wolcott had not
concluded to take the place on the
bench. but desired to consider it
further overnight and possibly to
confer with other friends about it.
The Governor returned to Rehoboth
after the conference, and was at that
resort today when Senator Wolcott
announced his acceptance OF the
Chancellorship.
1t is known that Senator Wolcott
while in Washington and since go
ing to Dover has been deluged with
kilograms congratulating him on his
confirmation by the State Senate,
and also urging him to accept the
Chancellorship.
In addition, IL became known to-
day, he has received dozens of let
ters from prominent Delawareans
urging him to take the place on the
bench, now that he has been con-
irmed by the Senate.
Some OF the letters urging him TO
accept came from lawyers who had
signed the petition urging the re-
appointment of Chancellor c. NJ
Curtis.
Among some Of those who the
! past day or two have written to SEN
ator Woicott expressing an opinion
that he should accept the Chancel-
lorship are William S. Hines. John
Biggs. Robert H. Richards and Ca
leb E. Burchenal. all prominent VIII
mington lawyers.
Senator Wolcott although a young
man has had an outstanding career
/ in politics. In 1908 when he had
been practicing law but a few years
/ in Wilmington he was appointed de-
putty attorney-general by the ther
Attorney-General Andrew c. Gray
He served four years as deputy. and
in 1912 was elected to succeed Mr.
Gray as Attorney-G General. He serv.
ed four years in that Office and IN
1916 was elected United States Sen.
ator for the term of six years.
The appointment of Chancellor is
for II years and the salary is
$500 a year. Mr.. Wolcott's father
the late James L Wolcott. also was
Chancellor of the State.
A few years ago Mr.. Wolcoti
built a new home just south q
Dover, his home town. and moved
here from Wilmington and ha.
lived here ever since except for the
time he has spent in Washington
attending to his duties as Senator.
