'GETS CARVED UP;
ALSO 50 DAYS.
After Being Prosecuting
Witness Johnson Becomes
Defendant
SIX MONTHS FOR
LEWIS ADAMS

From prosecuting witness I'm an
assault and battery case to defendant
in a breach of the peace case was
the descent made by Walter John
son, Negro in Municipal Court this
morning.
Walter testified against Lewis
Adams, Negro, who was accused of
carving him with knife. and Lewis
was sentenced to six months in the
workhouse. Walter shuffied from the
witness stand toward the witness
benches bnt was stopped at the
prisoners spot" by Court officer
Horace MCDANIEL and was arraigned
on breach of the peace charge. He
was sentenced to thirty days i'm
prisonment.
That Walter had been in the path
of some sharp instrument, was evil
denced by his appearance. His left
hand was covered with thick layer
Of bandages, through which blood
had found its way; his right ear
was blood-clotted and his face was
bruised.
Walter testified that he knew that
he had been cut, but that ne dluh
know whether 1t was Adams or
someone else who did the dirty
work" He said that both he and
Adams were drunk.
The fight occurred about s o'clock
last night at Adams home, 21S West
Fifth street, where Johnson rooms.
It was said to have started over
walters demand for the return OF
his board money which he had pre-
viously paid Adams. Walter then
is alleged to have fortified himself
with a knife and attempted to make
himself the dominant figure in the
house.
When the police patrol arrived,
Walter showed a strong. reluctance
TO go TO the Delaware Hospital but
a little force was used. He again
showed a reluctance to be taken
to the police station after recelv-
ing treatment for his wounds. AT
the station, he was recognized as the
one for whom his mother, Mary
johnson 900 Second street, had
sworn out a warrant November 20,
charging him with coming home
drunk and creating a disturbance.

Call FHemen
Promptly

Citizens are very slow in noti-
flying tho Fire Bureau when
their services are necessary.
When a fire breaks out, every
one rushes to the fire, and won
ders why the engines are not
there first. DO you ever stop TO
consider that everyone Ike
yourself rushed to the fire and
that the fire companies were
not notified?
II you see or know Of a fire,
call l40O, give the location, and
what is on fire. The department
will do the rest. IL the firemen
are not notified in sufficient
time, large fire results, and the
Fire Bureau is raked for being
too slow, and worse than no
Fire Bureau at all.
Perhaps the people are at
fault in this matter. Think
about 1t, and see for YOURSELF

CURZYIUS PUZZLE
TO OLD AND YOUNG

Curzyius. the mystery that has
the people of Wilmington guessing
and which appears every day in the
windows of the Miller Brothers
store, Ninth and King streets. all
this week between the hours of 2
to 3 and to p. M, has the
youngsters puzzled. Ut was very
evicATt after the last performance
in the window yesterday afternoon.
for several youngsters stayed
around long after closing time, de-
termined by one means or another
20 find out just what this Curzylus
thing is. They figured as the mind
of the youngster always does figure
that If IL were a real live person
it would surely emerge forth into
the street after its performance in
the window, and if on the other
hand the thing were a machine
IL would probably be in the bottom
of some trunk or box. The young
sters were disappointed, for Curry
ius did not come out at all 1t is
too much of mystery TO let itself
be solved until Saturday evening at
$40 o'clock at which time Curry
ius will be exposed to the public
One elderly woman was heard TO-
say that they could not fool her'"
for Curzyius was no man or woman.
Her son was a doctor, she said, and
he told her that no human being
can control the eyeball and further
more no one could keep the eyelash
still and in one position for a whole
hour at a time and be a human
being. A young man spoke up ana
said It was a human being with a
Budda Mask over its face. and still
other people said that Curzylus was
hypnotlzed. Be sure and fill out a !
coupon and drop it in the ballot box
that is at the Miller Brothers Store
for valuable prizes will be awarded
on Saturday. Bert Reddy says Make
Curzyius smile and receive $500"

Railroad and Pullman Car Shops in
Wilmington, Del, John c. saylor and
Edward r. Logan, representing the

Messrs. Saylor and Logan declared
that 1000 workers were still on

would receive approximately $780,

ness was responsible for an existing
Industrial depression in Wilmington
and was preventing the city from re-
turning to Industrial prosperity.

his influence towards obtaining
some honorable settlement of the
strike troubles. They said gentle
manly relations had been continued
between the strikers and their err
ployers, no bad names had been
called, and the men had been con-
tAHupuaiy cautioned 10 De ldW-AplQ-
ing.
Mr.. Logan. who Is chairman OF
the advisory committee of the
Pennsylvania shopcrafts of Whining
ton, also told Senator Baysrd. that
he knew the railroads were not so
far apart from their men as was
generally thought; that the two en-
ploying companies were seriously
crippled because workers who had
replaced the strikers were in the
madn not productive.
Senator Bayard replied he would
do all within his power TO assist in
an adjustment OF the strike difficult
ties and would give the question his
earnest attention.
1t was pointed out that Timothy
j. Mooney the Senator's secretary,
was formerly employed at the Penn

day you see a little more hair fall
