ABANDONED CAR AT DOVER
Mystery Surrounds Car Found in the
Woods Stripped and Damaged

Mystery Surrounds Car Found in the
Woods Stripped and Damaged
The mystery surrounding the aban-
doned Veile five-passenger car, which
was found in a woods two miles south
of Dover near the Wild Flower tea
house, recently, by two men who were
walking through the woods, deepens
with the continued investigation by
the State authorities. 1t is believed
the car has been in the woods where
it was found for week, if not longer,
as it required a block and fall to pull
it from the ground where it had stuck,
evidently having been driven in the
woods before the cold snap of more
than a week ago. The car, a we'll
built and apparently well-kept ma
chine, had been stripped of everything
by which it might be identified. The
headlights were smashed and the light
bulbs removed. The back lights were
also broken and torn off. Every spark
plug was broken and loosened and the
cap covering that part of enigne from
the wires feed of the engine was brok-
en- off. The hood was gone. The in
dicator in the front of the car was
broken. The usual brass or stee
plate on the engine had been burned
off as with a torch. The we'll uphol
stored seats were ripped and cut

MAY WIPE OUT GRETNA GREEN
Bills in Maryland Legislature Would
Break up ElktOn Marriage Mills

6lIlS IN maryland Legislature NOuIu
Break up ElktOn Marriage Mills
The bills to amend the marriage
laws of Maryland so as to put out of
business the marrying parsons" of
Elkton and Cumberland and Rockville
"Gretna Green" are likely to meet
with some opposition in the Assembly.
Two years ago, measures aimed at
the Elkton situation were introduced,
but were killed, it was generally
agreed, because they sought to change
the law affecting residents of Mary
land and impose on them the forty
eight7hour notice.
"My idea is that a measure ln,pos-
ing no restrictions on Maryland resi-
dents, but aimed at non-resldepts OF
the State, will cure the trouble" said
Senator Cantwell, of Cecil county, in
speaking of his measure recently.
Residents of Maryland can go any
where in the State now and be mar
ried under Maryland laws and there
is no reason why any restriction
should be placed on that. The bad
feature of Elkton's business is that
couples come from other States to
elude the laws of these States. Forty
eight hours notice of applicants for
marriage licenses will stop that, and
we will have no change whatever made
in the law so far as it affects Mary
landers.
81 believe that the Legislature will
pass a bill of this sort"
Two more bills having the same
Regulatory object in view were intro
duced Tuesday by Delegate Joseph, of
Baltimore City. Those would add two
new sections to the marriage law.

Misapplying BenevOlenceS for Which
He is Charged-Other Notes
Cambridge, Md, is preparing for
the 54th annual session of the Will
mington Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which will be held
there from March % to March 27.
Bishop William F. Mcdowell of Wash
ington will preside. Rev. D. w.
Jacobs will probably be reelected sec
retary, Rev. w. E. Gunby statistican
and Rev.V. E. Hills treasurer. The
conference will transact business In
the morning and celebrate anniversar-
les in the afternoon and evening. The
! Laymen's Association will hold is an
nual meeting March "a, with l. w.
Wheatley, of Easton, Md, presiding.
! Clarence A. Short, secretary, is pre-
pairing the program, which will CON
sist chiefly of the discussion Of reig-
ious subjects and the adoption of resO-
lutions. There will be a novelty March
25, when boys will hold a conference,
with a boy from each charge in the
Wilmington Conference territory az
tending and Rev. E. c. Keboch, Of
Harrisburg presiding. DIR. Keboch
presided at a similar session in the
Central Pennsylvania Conference last
year. The purpose of the boys con-
ference is to develop young men for
the ministry or official duties in che
church. On March 25 the boys will
initiate the ministers conference, and
on March 26 they will hear Bishop
Mcdowell preach and see him ordair
deacons and elders. An unpleasant
feature of conference week will be the
trial of Rev. Edwin Gardner, charged
with misapplying church benevolence:
Mr.. Gardner was suspended last yeal
after a preliminary hearing, which
the conference will review.

SITTING BULL WHO WAS THE
INDIAN SPHINX

MAYHEM historians have written the
w last word about the American
Indian, they will be unable to agree in
their estimate Of Sitting Bull (Tatan-
ka Yotanka) chief Of the Hunkpapa
Sioux. Perhaps no other Indian ever
received SO much notoriety; probably
none ever deserved It less.
He was not hereditary chief nor
q great war leader, Some who knew
him have called him coward; others
say he was brave enough but prudent.
In the strictest sense he was not 4
medicine man. as he frequently has
been called although his personal
medicine" was strong. Who. then,
and what was Sitting Bull? He was q
keen Judge Of human nature and he
was lucky In his prophecies. notably
In predicting the destruction Of Cen
eral Custer He was a great leader
with some mysterious power over his
people.
Perhaps they saw personlfied In him
the undying spirit Of resistance to the
white man. God Almighty made me
an Indian. He didn't make me an
agency Indian and don't intend to
be one" he told General Miles In 1877.
That was the keynote of his whole
career. II resulted In his leading his
people to Canada where they remained
until 1881, when starvation forced him
| to return to the United States and
surrender.
| Sitting Bull had grim sense Of hui
| NOR. Once trader at Fort BufOrd
gave him n red shirt with the sugges-
| ton that he wear 1t when he came for
war. Sitting Bull accepted the gar
ment with the remark that fright now
would be good time to put 1t on"
He did so and when his band left tho
trading post they turned and fired a
volley into the building.
The old chief had two wives, and
when Bishop Marty tried to persuade
him to divorce one, Sitting Bull re-
piled. "The black gown Is my friend
and | will do this for him. I will put
away both my wives and he will get
me a white wife" The proposition
was not accepted,

Mrs. Custer of a photograph of Gall
(PizD, chief Of the Hunkpapa Sioux.
Gall was an orphan boy who became
chief by his deeds as warrior. That
he possessed high military talents was
shown at the Battle Of Little Big
Horn.
Although the honors there were
about equally divided between Gall
and Crazy Horse, the credit for one
vital Indian maneuver In the battle be-
longs to the Hunkpapa alone. When

Indians were thrown into confusion.

They obeyed him and few minutes

across the river to join Crazy Horse

Gall then tried to follow up his ad-
vantage by returning to annihilate

warriors who were plundering the
fallen soldiers did not care to help
him achieve this final master stroke.
Gall followed Sitting Bull to Canada

United States to surrender. AS q

USING ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE
Experts Tell the Safe Way TO Employ
This System for Radio
Receiving.

Since the announcement that the

experimenting has been done by vari-
Gus amateurs. some Of whom have had
good luck while others succeeded
only In blowing = large number Of
fuses.
Engineers Of an eastern electric light
company have offered the following
suggestions to amateurs:
"First-Successfu results have been
obtained SO far only with audion bulb
sets. Crystal sets receive the signals,
but for some reason they are very
weak and indistinct.
"Second--No set should be used on
this system without air or oil filled

"Third--A fuse not heavier than

"Fourth-An ordinary separate de-
tachment plug. e., one with two
blades connecting the two separate
halves OF the plug-is used. Only one
