SUSPEND SCHOOL YOUTHS
FOR BELONGING TO FRAT
Two East Orange Lads Put Out Of
High School Under Jersey
State Law

New York, June 2o.--The New Jer-
sey anti-publie school fraternity law
was violated for the first time since
its enactment last year when two stu
dents of the East Orange high school
were suspended from that institution
for belonging to the Alpha Gamma
Phi fraternity.
The two pupils, Dudley Muschett and
Donald Date, both l s years old. were
discovered by member of the facul-
ty to be wearing pins on their vests
last week and were suspended by
Ralph F.. Files, principal Of the school.
George Muschett,. Dudley's father,
who is a Wall street accountant. en-
deavored to have his son reinstated,
by assuring the board of education
that Dudley would resign from the
fraternity
AS each new pupil enters the East
Orange High school he is compelled
to renounce all previous fraternity
connections and to sign pledge to
obey the law. While the statute does
not mention penalty in case of viola
ton, the local board of education has
jurisdiction In enforcing it.

His Perfect Condition.

BY The Associated Press.
Great Falls Mont, June 2o.-Jack
Dempsey. heavyweight champion. to-
day starts his final fortnight of train
ing for the defense of his title against
Tommy Gibbons at Shelby Mont.
July 4, with the worry of slight
cold, but otherwise. according to his
handlers, is in as perfect shape as
he ever has been two weeks before
a contest.
Dempsey probably will end his
work with the gloves ten days from
today but will continue doing light
work to keep his muscles loosened
until the day before the bout
The reason for knocking off box
ing four days in advance will be to
avoid the danger Of an injury to his
hands or the possible reopenins OF

that section created a big sensation
throughout the lower part of the coun-
ty, by trapping a wildcat, the speci-
men being thrice as large as a skunk,

says he will have the animal. mounted

was believed that some strange ami
NAL has been prowling there for the
past two weeks on account of the dogs
chasing some object there in the
night time, and the object invariably
went off to the woods, as a climax to
the chase. Mr.. McGinnes found the
animal in trap, which he had set
along the millpond, the victim lying
partly in the water and evidently had

to the club women emphasized the
value of the club in the community
and urged that all clubs own their
clubhouses. She urged that each

islature. Opposition to the showing
of the Arbuckle films was expressed

ROB HOCKESSIN POSTOFFICE
Blow Safe and Get Away With $3.50
in Treasury Notes and Stamps

Forcing an entrance to the Hook
essin postoffice and blowing a small
safe, yeggman got away with about
$3.50 in treasury certificates, stamps,
a Liberty bond ard small amount
of cash, some time early Monday
morning. Ten new money order books
were also in the haul. 1t is believed
that these can also be converted into
cash. The thieves gained entrance to
the postoffice, which is located in
corner of Joseph A. Gormley's general
store which fronts on the Lancaster
pike near the Yorklyn road intersec-
tion, from a second story porch win
dow. 1t is believed they climbed a
tree and from the branches reached
the. porch. Appearances pointed to
the thieves being familiar with the
building. After forcing the second
story window they proceeded down
stairs to the store, as shown by mud
tracks which indicated there were two
in the party. The building is unoc-
cupied except for the store, the upper
| floors being used as a stock room
An automobile tire tool, used to force
the window, was left behind. The
thieves escaped through rear door
The safe blowing job had all the ap.
pearances of being one committed by
experts. The front door was blowr
completely off, nitro-glycerine evident
ly being used, and the inner door wa
opened with a hammer and chisel
The report of the explosion was evi
dently muffled as twas not heard b.
any residents. Mr.. Gormley's hom
. is about so yards from the store.

WILMINGTON AUTO SHOW
Number From Smyrna and Down
State Town Will Attend Next Week

otdte lOWH VIII AilCHu 4NcAt Wcch
Accounts of the auto show in New
York and Philadelphia, which have
been widely published, have only
whetted the appetites of the Whining
ton public, who are awaiting eagerly
the opening of the Wilmington show,
which is listed for next Monday, jan
uary 20. While the metropolitan
affairs are more sparkling, since they
feature extreme fashions and new
styles, the Wilmington shows are
really more useful since they are linn
tied to models that are suited to this
market and that will be available
through Delaware dealers when the
season opens. In other words, the do
mestic variety is more of a business
proposition than "peep-show." The
full capacity of the Auditorium will
be taxed by the entries for the 1925
show, which will represent more thar
thirty leading factories. Attractive
decorations and agreeable music are
provided as background for the gilt
ter of varnish and the hum of conver
sation and the affair~is certain to b.
the focus of interest during SHOW
week. See advertisement in anothe

GASOLINE CAR FOR SMYRNA R.R.
Will Replace the Locomotive on the
Branch Line Connecting With Clayton

VIII Replace the Locomotive on the
Branch Line Connecting With Clayton
In connection with the recent an
nouncement of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in regard to installation of gaso-
line propelled passenger cars, an Off
cial of the road stated last week that
such a service will be established on
the Smyrna branch line, connecting
Smyrna with the main line of the Del
aware road at Clayton with the arrival
of such a vehicle from the manufac-
turers, which is expected between now
and the first of February. At the
present time the company has a num-
Der of men at work on a building at
Clayton along the northbound track,
in which to house the car. The
new car will be on the same style as
the ones used at present by the COM
pany in the steam service, with the
exception that it will probably not be
as long as the present ones. The Off
cial giving the information stated that
there will be no Interruption in SER
vice on the branch line and the present
service will be continued until the new
car arrives, at which time it will be
placed in service without interrupting
the regular schedule. The new ve-
hicle will be an innovation -in tran
sportation methods on the Delaware
road. 1t is thought that if the serv-
ice proves successful the company
may eventually establish a gasoline
service on other peninsula lines.

TAKES QUAKE TO SAVE
PRINCESS FROM 3NERO."

There in the Palace of the Emperor,
helpless, alone, at the mercy of the
most wicked, cruel, evil monster the
world has ever known-there sat pref
ty little Marcia, innocent, unspoiled;
on all sides evil leering faces; beyond,
the palace guards. And by her side,
with outstretched arms the repulsive
creature that freak Of fate had
made the ruler of the world.
:" will give you the whole of my
kingdom; everything in the world
shall be yours for the asking" he
cried.
Trapped in the spiders web, of
what avail seemed innocence, trust,
faith?
Then came
h The earthquake!
Was it Gods answer to the girls
unspoken prayer? Perhaps
AT any rate, it is the one great
and stupehdous climax to the most
sensational and dazzling motion pic
ture spectacle ever shown upon any
screen since time began and Nero
fiddled in ancient Rome 1t was
without doubt or question, the most
compelling photoplay ever offered for
the consideration Of the theatregoing
public. Not only gigantic and
triumphant screening of a colossal
spectacle, but love story of supreme
self-sacrifice pictured amidst the
barbaric splendors of ancient Rome,
reproduced in all their glory on the
exact spot where Nero Knocked,
shocked and rocked the world with
his wickedness, 1000 years ago.
Nero will be shown at the
