CHARLES WRIGHT,
AGED -FOUR YEARS,
MAY Be KIDNAPPED
Missing From Home for Ten
Days, Child Reported Seen in
Gypsy Camp.
DETECTIVE INVESTIGATING

New Castle, Sept. 23.--Missing for
ten days from fhe home of his mother,
Mrs. Jennie Wright, 730 Dobbins
street, Charles Wright. four years old,
is believed to have been kidnapped.
Police and detectives are on the case.
No clue to the boys whereabouts
was detected until last night, when
State Detective Baldwin received
telephone call that boy answering
the description of Charles was seen
in gypsy camp at Bear Station. De-
tective Baldwin Immediately set out
for Bear Station in an automobile.
There was no sign of a gypsy camp
when he reached the place and he was
unable to discover the name of the
man who gave the information over
the telephone.
Detective Baldwin heard rumors
that the only gypsy camp In this
neighborhood recently had been To-
Gated at porter's Station and Hare's
Corner. At neither OF these places
was there trace OF any such camp.
The mother Of the missing lad could
not be located today. The boys
parents are said 10 have been sepa-
rated for several years. IL was ru-
mored here that the father had been
seen here within the past month, which
led the authorities TO investigate the
theory that the father may have
taken Charles away.

NEW p. m. FOR PHlLA.
Penrose Sets Precedent That
May Apply to Wilmington
Office.

Philadelphia. Sept. 2s.--Colonel
George E. Kemp has been chosen as
Postmaster of Philadelphia. Senator
renrose announced at Washington to-
day. The Colonels name will be sent
to the Senate for confirmation In a
few days.
Back OF the bare announcement Is
the fact that Penrose outgeneraled the
Wares. who, through Congressman
Ware yesterday. declared they would
support Kemp to succeed Postmaster
Thornton.
Although Postmaster Thornton has
a year to serve. he win be removed
from office on the ground he has al
ready served eight years.
Mr.. Thornton was appointed Post
master of Philadelphia by President
Wilson on September 25. 1913, to sue
cecd Thomas n. Smith. who subse-
quently became Mayor OF the city Mr..
Smith was not permitted 20 serve ou'
his commission. on the day he was
named MIR. Thorntons nomination was
confirmed by the Senate. He has
served continuously since that time.
on expiration Of his first commits
sion on September 25. 1917. Mr.. Thorn.
ton. though remaining In office, was
not renominatcd until August 80. 1918
lie was confirmed a second time on
September 12, 1918. His commission
therefore, does not expire until Sep
tembcr i3, 1929.
The change at this time was justi-
fed by Senator Penrose on the ground
that Mr.. Thornton already has served
eight years. The policy OF the Post
office Department was represented as
favoring removal OF officials under
that condition.

KISSING CAUSES GERMS.
But They Were Never So Serious as
In Texas.

Adverting 10 a severe rebuke OF the
kissing bug, which he found in this
column, customer suggests that
State Press must never have read
the verses by Miss Hunt, entitled.
You Kissed Me-"
Fearing that $. r. had never per-
used them our customer sends them
for his delectation. They are good
reading. all right. and quite boost
for osculation. There Is no real OBJ
lection to written kisses or kisses
thrown IN the dark
The danger Of the kiss is in the
transferenee Of germs the strepto-
cocus caloricus being frequently con
veyed from ruhyred lips to tobacco
brown ones. The streptococus calori-
Gus Is adipose with danger to the re-
cipient and has been known to drive
him into matrimony In some cases
and bigamy In others. OF course
State Press doesn't expect TO have as
much success In aboiishing kisses as
he has had In eliminating dogs, but he
IS working for self-approval rather
than for fame or money.
Just as dogs are now taxable there
should he law requiring kissers Il

DEMOCRATS HAVE
SPIRITED DEBATE
City Committee Votes Down
Resolution Regarding Chan
celIor-Senator Matter.

Members of the Democratic City
Committee spent two hours last night
wrestling with a resolution condemn
ing the alleged bipartisan arrange
ment, whereby former Senator Josiah
o. wolcott retired from the United
States Senate and accepted the Chan
cellorship of Delaware and the Re-
pubiicans gained another Senator. The
resolution was defeated by vote Of
10 to 6. The committee is TO meet two
weeks from last night, when an effort
is to be made to revive the matter.
While this item of business. which
was offered by Wright c. Dizer. was
the chief bone OF contention, there
were other matters considered. Henry
II. Isaacs. State chairman, told of the
movement for a permanent headQuar-
ters and how II was proceeding, and
Chairman Timothy j. Mooney referred
to the plan which the Democrats will
adopt in forming a new program some
time before October 20.
At one time during the heated dis
cussion over the Dixer resolution,
which die not. however. condemn
Chancellor wolcott, but which CEN
sured those who favored the plan
which resulted in the Senatorial
change, the question OF a quorum
being present was raised. There were
Is present, it developed, but when II
came TO a vote on the resolution, two
did not vote. The committee is CON-
posed Of 72 men and women, equally
divided. Almost every one OF the
committee present had something to
say, some making two and three
speeches.
The Dizer resolution set forth that
no one who favored the Senatorial
change was fit subject for national
committeeman, and this added to the
perplexities of the argument.
Mr.. Mooney explained that the per-
sonnel of the new city committee in
the future will comprise $50 men and
women, one nan and one woman from
each OF the l25 election districts in
the city. In the past il has been found
embarrassing when a chairman OF a
division ''fell down" TO work his sec
ton without causing him to get angry
Under the new arrangement. there VII
be no ward chairman to boss any one
district, but two representatives for
each district, whom the city commit
tee will hold responsible
Another question which was not
discussed at length. but which viii be
considered at the meeting two weeks
from last night. will be that OF repre-
sentation at State conventions. Will
mington was granted an increase al
the last convention. but withal has
but 25 delegates, while the remainder
Of the State has $50. How far thi.
agitation will go cannot be determin.
&c now.
