"TACTlLlSM" THE LATEST ART
Pictures Can Be "SSen" by Touch, Is
Declaration Made by inventor
of New Fad.

Among the. things that "have their
day and cease to be-" artistic extrav-
aganceS hold a prominent place. The
wild vaga1es of impressionists, Gu
bists and futurists one by one eclipse
what has gone before.
~Tactilism" is the name of a new
art" invented by Signor Marinetti, the
italian futurist, who, recently, to a
large audience of painters, art critics
and society people in Paris, explained
It's principles. 1t is a method Of con-
veying fmpre ssiOns through the sense
OF touch, which has hitherto been
neglected by the arts"
Marinetti told how he had tried to
establish series of conventions,
which could be easily learned, by
which different touches would bring
forth definite ideas. For instance,
something rough, spiky and hot to the
touch would give the idea Of the
Sahara. The seas would be conjured
UP by something smooth and cold. like
silver paper, and Paris by mixture
of silk and velvet. It Is an evidence
of the readiness of the day to take
up anything new that this adventur-
GUS futurist pioneer is now the lion of
the season. He intends to be In Paris
for some weeks, but has already re-
ceived so many invitations to attend
fashionable receptions and evening
parties that he confesses that he hard
ly knows how to cram in all his ap-
po1ntments.

BOOZE BURIED
Under BLANKETS
Dragna, Chauffeur, How
ever, Wasn't Wise to
Game; Dismissed
WAS WELL PAID
FOR SERVICE

Engaged to drive Roliano Arditto
with a number OF blankets from
Fairvew, n. j., to this city, Thomas
Dragna was unaware. according to
his testimony, in Court Of General
Sessions yesterday afternoon, when
he was tried on a charge of having
more than one quart OF liquor in
his possession.
After hearing Of the evidence in
the case, the state abandoned the
prosecution.
Dragna and Arditto we're arrest
ed by Constable Tinsman and Frank
+. Haley on last June II. Arditto has
not yet been tried.
II was testified that ArdHto and
two companions engaged young
Dragna to take them to Wilmington
together with a quantity of blankets,
for the sum Of $40, provided he could
make the trip in one day. or an ad-
ditional 81 for each hour in excess
of the allotted time. Dragna says he
met Ariditto at Clifton, n. j.. the
next morning with boy in a wagon
containing a box stuffed with blan-
kets and two suit cases. Arditto told
him his two friends had gone on
ahead by train and he was to take
their suit cases in the automobile.
Dragna claimed the first knowl-
edge he had that the box and suit
cases contained liquor was when he
and Arditto, who is under indictment
in connection with the charge Of IL
legal transportation, were arrested.
When arrested Dragna told Con
stable Tinsm.n he did not know
there was liquor in the box and
grips, and so testified before Squire
Broman when arraigned on charges
preferred by Constable Tinsman and
Frank +. Haley.
Dragna's father testified to having
heard his son make the arrangement
with Arditto to bring blankets "a
Wilmington.
In addition to the blankets which
We're stuffed into the top Of the box
containing liquor there were several
packages Of blankets in Dragna' e
car, and. according to Constable
Tinsman Dragna exhibited much
surprise when he pulled the blanket
from the top Of the box and ex-
posed the bottles of cognac.
j. Frank Ball counsel for tn,
defendant, contended that moi
knowing what the packages con
tained, Dragna was not guilty OF
having wilfully violated the law.
A jury acquitted Rebecca White

Of violating the State liquor law

GREATLY TO he DESIRED.

1T is exceedingly unfortunate for music lovers in this
city that the Philadelphia Symphony ORCHESTRA has
decided to cut Wilmington on It's itinerary after having
performed here for sixteen consecutive seasons
The announced underlying the decision OF the
management to pursue that regettabe Is that the
expense Of eqppng and touring the orchestra has in
creased greatly and that the public here will not stand
increased prices 70 rtckes therefore, Il is out OF the
question for the organization to continue losing en-
gagement
II may be- however, that between now and next sea-
SON. arrangement will be made which will restore
city to the orchcstras itinerary. Such arrange
lment is something greatly to be desired.
