GOVERNORS NAMES
ON BRONZE TABLETS

Two massive bronze tablets were
placed in position in the corridor of
the State House on Monday on the
hrst floor on either side of the main
entrance, bearing the names of all
OF the Governors from 1777 to the
present time. While the names of
the Governors had previously ap-
peared, painted on panels on both
the first and second floors of the
corridors in the State House, because
of the space being about filled ND it
was deemed best to have the names
placed on bronze tablets. On the left
SIDE OF the corridor on entering the
main door is tablet bearing the
names OF all the Governors from 1777
TO 1841, beginning with. John McKin-
ley and ending with William B. Coop
er, 1841.
In connection with this first tablet
it shows there were three Governors
of the State during the year 1777.
namely John Mckinley; Thomas Nc
Kean, (acting) and George Read, the
latter serving. until 1878.
In 1778, Ceaser Rodney became Gov
ernor and served until 1882, when
John Dickinson was selected Cover
nor, he serving until 1888, and then
John Cook (acting) took charge of
the reins Of State. From 1888 to 1885
VanDyke was chosen Cover
nor. From 1886 to 1889, Thomas Col
Inns was Governor; 1889, Jheu Davis
assumed charge as (acting). From
1883 to 1896, Joshua Clayton was Gov
srnor; 1896 to 1897, Cunning Bedford
was chief executive; 1897 to 1899 Dam
el Rogers is listed as (acting). From
-199 to 1901, Richard Bassett was
Governor. A singular coincidence in
I'll the above names and down for
several years afterwards, none of the
governors had middle name. The
ablet on the right side of the main
contains the list of Cover
lors from 1S45 to the present day, in
'luding Governor Denney.

POULTRYMEN SHOULD READ
THIS CAREFULLY

For the past year The Milford
Chronicle has published weekly four
column report of the North American
Egg Laying Contest held at Milford.
This report has been full in every re-
spect, and was printed with the idea
of giving this information to poultry
men, and those interested in this busi-
ness in Kent and Sussex counties.
The preparation of these four col
umns of reading matter each week re-
quires very large outlay in both
time and money to the publishers of
The Chronicle. Last week a new con-
test for another year was started at
the plant of the North American Egg
Laying Contest, and the first report
of this was carried in last weeks is
sue of The Chronicle. From some few
sources we have heard that the poul-
try article as published was very
greatly desired by our readers; from
other sources we have been informed
that it is not desired.
Will you write us Immediately tell
ing us point-blank whether you desire
us to continue publishing this article,
or whether you would have us discon-
tinue same. If the majority of the
letters received indicate that the poul-
try report is wanted, it will be con-
tinued; if they show that they are
not wanted, we shall Immediately dis
continue publishing same. This is the
only notice that will appear concern
ing the report, so If you are interest
ed either in the continuance of the
article, or the discontinue, write us
at once. Don't call us on the phone
write.

tion assembled, notes with genuine
satisfaction that we are in the midst
of an educational awakening in Della

course~of pride in achievements al
ready wrought and the basis of our
hope for further progress. An arous-
ed consciousness of the States edu-
cational needs has already begun to
bear fruit. Because of it Delaware
children today have a far richer her

they have hitherto possessed. But to
this Association the achievements |
thus accomplished are but the begin |

of improvement. What has been ac-

CONFERENCE PLANS
 BIG POLICE SYSTEM
Chiefs in Session Hoping to Els. tabliSh International Union

New York, Sept. 11.-Police chiefs from all over the United States, most of the great centers of Europe, and lea meet here today with the hope of forming some sort of union look ing toward an international police system.
 The idea came from Police Com missioner Enright of New York, and his deputy, Dr. John A. Harriss. This spring they travelled through Europe, met the police leaders there, discuss ed conditions, studied universal prob- lens and came to the conclusion that conference. on a large scale. would go far toward solving the difficulties which have leaped into police work since the war.
 Commissioner Enright brought back promises that heads of departments in London, Liverpool, Paris. Brussels, Vienna, Rome and perhaps Berlin, would attend.
 It is the belief of New York's de- partment, according to Deputy Com missioner Mckay in charge of ar engagements. that criminal class, growing directly from the war has confronted the police in every coun- try. MT. Mckay said it was sort of Overlapping class" in that the criminals. most of whom begin on a petty scale. travel a great deal and so are beginning to leave their trails all over the world.
 Criminal Class.
 An important feature of the con- vention will be a discussion of this class, and 1t is hoped that the chiefs will be able to evolve some method which will permit of universal check, in all countries, of the activi- ties of the class.
 Automobile stealing, problem which is particularly bothersome to Canadian and American officials, also will be discussed. American chiefs make no secret of their desire, as far as possible, to copy the European idea of national registration for automo- biles sN
 Rogues' Gallery.
 It has been suggested, according to Commissioner Enright. that 1t might be possible for the chiefs, working to- gether in the larger cities to produce an international rogues gallery, which will be Invaluable. Finger prints would be taken and classified, and copies would be exchanged by the heads of departments under the pro- posed system.
 Because of enabling legislation that would be required by different gov ernments, it was pointed out that it would be practically impossible to evolve an official international police out of the conference. But the plan is to talk over all the situations in- volved, and then to cooperate in per fecting any plan which is accepted by the men in session. The conference held in the Waldorf Astoria, will con- tinue for a week. Mayor Hylan call ed the convention to order and Com 1 missioner Enright made the key note" speech.

 Before Arrests Arc Made.

Constables Raymond Halleran and Robert Desell of Newington had quite a battle in that town Saturday eve ming when they attempted to get evil dence of liquor sales at the home of Walter Ostrowski of Fifth Ave. Os- troski and his wife were at home when the officers of the law made their call, but when the constables mad known thir mission, they were no longer welcome. The house resembled the first line trenches as battle ragged for several minutes. Sauerkraut, ket- ties, beverages, ct cetera were hurled at the constables in rapid succession, 1t Is said. Fists were used in nasty manner and damage done, not only to Ostrowski, but also to his wife and the two constables. the story goes. Success awaited the authorities how ever and they placed Ostrowski un- der arrest. He was brought to the New Britain police station.
 Mrs. Ostrowski was in charge of the alleged forbidden beverage and when the constables made their IT, trance, she broke crooks and bottles of the liquor over a window sill, with the result that the evidence trickled over the side of the house to the ground beneath The officers, there fore, got no real liquor, but they con- fscated a still which was located on the property. Attorney P. F. Me Donough of this city has been re- tained to defend Ostrowski when the case comes before the Newington town court tomorrow night.

PUT SIGN ON COURTHOJ SEE.

Carmel, N. T., Sept. 1l.--After be- ing a landmark for 10S years without any inscription upon it, the Putnam County Court House here has been equipped with a gold-lettered sign so that strangers can identify the struc- ture.
 The new sign. placed on the panel of the portico, reads: Putnam County Court House, erected 1874"
 This is the ancient Court House in which grand jurors convene to find that Putnam County is so orderly and peaceful that there is nothing to do but organize, adjourn and go home.
 According to tradition, in 1S44 an 1S-year-old youth sat on his casket there while a preacher prayed for him and then was taken to the rear of the Court House and hanged for first degree murder.
 The county jail Tn the rear of the building is closed for lack of pris- oners.
