Changing their plea of not guilty of
murder in the first degree of seven

that of manslaughter, Fred Stewart
and Minnie Collins, alias Minnie Stew
art. were sentenced IN the Court Of
Over and Terminer at Georgetown on
Tuesday to six years in the New Cas-
tie county workhouse. The allegations
were that the Stewarts had beaten the
child to death, and the first inkling
that she had met with such cruelty
was when Medford L. Watson, a Sea-
ford undertaken, was called to bury
the child. Stewart said the child had
fallen dead while playing. When the
undertaken attempted to prepare the
body for burial, the foster parents OBJ
iected, saying they desired her buried
! lust as she was without the clothing
! being changed. Upon being asked to
produce a physicians certificate, and
failing to comply with the request
the undertaken notified the coroner
who conducted an inquest. In the
meantime the Stewards had arranged
to bury the body after refusing to per
nit the clothing to be removed. The
coroner later found the body amaciat
ed. because of lack of proper nourish
ment. Soon after the inquest thu
c+o,,,a,ts were placed under arrest ant
since that time have been confined i
the Sussex county Jail, unable to OBJ
tain bail. At the inquest, neighbor
testified that on frequent occasion

Four Vocational Universe
ties TO Be Estab-
lished.
CANTONMENT SITES
institutions To Re Located In East,
Middle West, South and Pacific
Coast.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Four United
States vocational universities situated
advantageously in the East. Middle
West, South and on the Pacific Coast
are to be operated in the near future
fol. the benefit of former service men
who are vocationally handicapped.
Announcement of this plan was
made today by Charles r. Forbes, di-
rector Of the Veteran Relief Bureau,
who contemplates using cantonment
sites for the schools, as suggested
last week by President Harding. The
courses in the Government univer-
sities are to consist of agriculture.
elementary and academic science and
trades.
Colonel Forbes plans to start the
first university within % days, ana
start it's work with about 1000 men
III training.
At the present time there are APP
proximately $1,000 men taking voca-
tional training. Of this number more
than 10000 are engaged III the train
ing Of some of the trades. The pres
ent plan calls for the establishment
of classes in masonry, architecture,
plumbing, printing, engraving, book
binding. electrical work, carpentry
and steamfitting, as well as courses
alcng agricultural lines, such as hor-
ticulture, animal husoandry, dairying,
cheese and cream making, forestry.
etc.
No legislation is necessary to pro-
vide for the four proposed unlversi-
ties, the Sweet bill creating the Vet
Grams Bureau giving ample authority
for the director Of the bureau, at the
direction of the President. to au-
thuliac such a departure from the
present established vocational train
ING lines.

Simply Precautionary.

State Department officials made 1t
very clear today that the 800 marines
on board the battleship Pennsylvania
bound for Panama are rot being sent
there To do any fighting. Their pres

a precautionary measure. When they
get there, they will not be expected
to do any fighting. Their presence
l.: needed, it is asserted, only as
precautionary measure. When they
get there, they vii! not be expected
to make even so much rs Il demon
stration." Secretary of State Hughes
has served notice on Panama that she
rlust relinquish the town of Coto to
Costa Rica. Panama has been holding
Coto and surrounding territory for
the purpose of attempting to force
boundary concessions from Costa
Rica on the Atlantic side Of the Pan
ANA Canal. When the u. S. marines
reach the Canal Zone it is expected
that the Panama troops now oc-
cupyinr Coto will withdraw and the
danger of clash at arms will be
aVGrted.

Following an early morning burst
Of rioting., disorders again broke out
when Il Unionist mob armed with
rifles and revolvers, made an or
ganized attack against a party Of
Sim FeinerS who were on their way
home. The plan for the assault was
carefully laid, the attackers being
summoned by the blowing of whistles.
The homes Of the Sim Fciners were
attacked and damaged. The Sim
Feiners rallied and the fighting spread
through the streets. Policemen were
rushed to the scene, but were unable
to do anything with their riot clubs.
The mobs were not dispersed until the
police fired fusilIade from their scrv-
ice pistols.
Rioting, in which many shots were
fired and bombs were used, broke out
early today in Queen street.
The trouble began with clash be-
tween Sim Fciners and unioaists.
Shooting occurred for severa, hours
and the street lights and many win

bullets.
The bombs were homemade affairs
and failed to explode.

Mellon May Quit.

While both at the White House and

Secretary Mellon has resigned or IS
about to sever his connection from the
Cabinet is denied. friends Of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in Washington
declared to the Gazette correspondent
today that they would not be surprS-
ed if Mr.. Mellon rctircs to private
life in the very near future. Mellon
who is very sensitive individual, does
not like the Way he has been handled
BY the leaders Of the present admins
tration. Especially is lie displcased
at the manner i'm which his tax re-
vision plan was literally ignored by
not only the President but the Repub
lican members Of the Ways and Means
Committee as well. Mellon is not 4
politician in any sense Of the word.
and Republican, leaders are fearful
that if he remains at the head Of the
Treasury Department and puts the fl
nanciaI condition squarely before the
public. according to the facts and fig
urcs. the showing made will prove dis
astrous To party success two years
hence. Hence. the necessity for the
retirement Of Mr. Mellon.
