Charge Him With Assault,
But City Judge Sides
With His Sex
FEMALES NEAR
FIGHT IN COURT

During the hearing Of the case of
John Bargebrom on a charge of as
sault and battery on Mrs. Elizabeth
Murray in Municipal Court this
morning. it became necessary to seat
the mother Of the plaintiff, Mrs. Isa-
belle Barcus, and the plaintiffs
aunt, Jennie Nutter. in different
sections Of the room when the two
women became involved in an ex-
change OF words.
May Barcus, a daughter OF Mrs.
Barcus. about 13 years of age, was
testifying when the women. who
were sitting within two seats of each
other, were separated. The two sud
denly started exchanging words in a
tone not in keeping with the dignity
of a court, and even Deputy Judge
Lynn's call for order failed to quiet
them.
Judge Lynn then called Mrs. Bar
Gus before the court and impressed
on her that she was in court and
should conduct herself accordingly.
Mrs. Barcus then insisted that she
was behaving herself, saying that
Mrs. Nutter had called her "a damn
liar" The judge then directed that
Mrs. Barcus take a seat in another
section OF the room.
The trouble between Mrs Murray
and Bargebrom occurred last night
in front of the Barcus home. 4O4
East Fourth street. and from the
testimony. seemed to have been
sponsored by Mrs. Nutter. II ap-
peared that Mrs. Murray was at her
door when Bargebrom and her aunt
came along. and her aunt remarked
TO Bargebrom, There she is, there
she is"
Thereupon. Bargebrom approach
ed Mrs. Murray, who claimed that he
called her a foul name and then
struck her. II was shown. however
that Bargebrom merely "cussed" her
about things that he accused Mrs.
Murray OF saying about him, and
that as he turned to go away, the
girl leaped on him and struck him.
He merely shook her of.
As a climax to the affair. Mrs
Barcus pursued Bargebrom with a
butcher knife but failed to get him

Judge Lynn dismissed the case

SMYRNA. Del, March 22.-The
early run Of shad has started in the
Delaware Bay and fishermen who
have already wet their nets for small
catches expect that these succulent
fish will be running in such numbers
to enable early shipments to the city
markets. For over a week there has
been a hustle Of preparation in the
fishing hamlets on both sides of the
bay, and old fishermen have long
been predicting an early run Of shad
this spring, but few Of them expected
to be fishing for the markets before
Easter. Most of the fishing so far
has been done by individual crews
Of two men TO a boat, only two or
three shad having been caught at a

that they submit bids for the SOB

is inconceivable that parents would
not gladly avail themselves of this
safeguard for their children. and the
State Board OF Health has, there
fore. had a bill introduced in the
Legislature that would enable the
board to protect the children of the
state agaipst diphtheria whenever
the parents consent.
The procedure is very simple and
entirely harmless. The child is first
tested to determine whether or not
he is susceptible to diphtheria. As a
general average, about one-half the
children are found to be immune 10
the disease; that is. they would not
take diphtheria II exposed TO it.
Therefore nothing more is done
about these children, but the re-
naming children are given a very
simple treatment that causes them
to become immune.
Every child in the State could be
made permanently immune against
diphtheria for less money than has
been spent to make hogs immune
against cholera, officials say
The Appropriation requested by
the state Board of Health is sufii-
clent to demonstrate the value Of
the proposed work to the general
health and welfare OF the state.
Another feature of the proposed
bin is the provision that any Della
warean may obtain free OF cost all
the antitoxin that is needed to save
the life OF his child in case II con-
tracts diphtheria. II has been found
that in many cases the expense OF
this treatment prevents the use Of
sufficiently large doses The expense
also causes a delay in the use OF an
titoxin until a definite diagnosis is
made. The life Of no child must be
placed in jeopardy because of a
slight monetary consideration, and
the State Board OF Health believes
that many lives would be saved by
the more prompt and liberal use Of
antitoxin that would follow its dis
tribution
The sole object OF the bill is the
protection OF tho health and lives OF
Delaware children.
