introduction Of the records and
checks into evidence with a constant
series Of objections. Their efforts met
with considerable success.
Check Faces Admitted
When court adjourned at noon. the
State had been able to introduce only
the face of the checks and had been
unable to get the Endorsements of Gov
ernor McCray, on the backs of the
checks. into evidence.
Further attempts to do this will be
made.
I. Newt Brown. who is expected to
be one Of the star witnesses for the
State, was scheduled to take the stand
today. However. the long battle over
identification of the records and
checks made it uncertain whether he
would be reached before Friday.
Brown is expected to give details
of the transactions in which Nc

Frequently they don't glide very
far. Because of the numerous other
couples doing the same thing at the
same time, on the same floor, a
couple may remain in a space of
about three feet IN diameter, for
several dances, according to the
police woman.
The dance itself may be bad
enough But after the dance, when
the sheiks line up outside to try to
make ''dates"-that's when the real
trouble starts. Mrs Bruner said. She
told OF 'Joy-rides" and mule
parties - with girls from 16 to IS
years as chief participants.
If she bad her way. she intimated.
an age certificate would be part of

The slick haired sheiks are not

Of strangle-holds. Mrs. Drummer

MILFORD LADY HONORED

The Jefferson Hospital Annex,
which is sixteen stories high and
just newly built as an addition to one
Of the oldest Medical College Hospi-
tails, was opened last week with
elaborate ceremonies in PhiladeI-
phia. This mammoth structure is
equipped with the most modern Of
appliances known to science and the
enlarged corps Of faculty and nurses,
is drawn from sources which have
brilliant records back of them. The
Assistant Superintendent in the new
annex is Miss Emma Gillispie, who
is the daughter of Mrs. Bessie Gillis-
pie of South Milford. Miss Gillispie
is young woman who was trained
in her profession in old Jefferson
College Hospital, where she was for
several years, until she went to take
charge of a smaller hospital in Ger
Pa. About two years ago
she returned to the Jefferson Hos
pital and now is placed as the AS
sistant Superintendent in this latest
and most modern of hospitals. This
is one more Delawarean who has
made good, and who has been ap-
preciated away from home.

SLIGHT INCREASE
SOUGHT BY SCHOOL
BOARD in BUDGET
The State Commission Needs Only
About One Per Cent Above
Present Appropriation.
MANY ITEMS ARE THE SAME
Budget As Submitted To Governor
Contains Many Items Without
Any New Suggestions.

At the hearing before Governor
Denney the State Board of Educa-
tion asked for $2,322,474 and S2,S72,-
462 for the two years beginning July
1, 1925. The last General Assembly
appropriated for this purpose 81
100000 each year of the present BIZ
ennium and added for the present
year 100000, contingent upon the
collection Of school taxes. The re-
quest Of the State Board, therefore,
represents only about one per cent
increase over this latter sum.
The board spread before the gov
ernor the composite budget, compris-
ing the budgets of the various dis
tricts, special districts and the City
Of Wilmington. The grand total of
these for the year 1925-26 was S3,-
270,210, but from that the board had
deducted $947,736, which it is not
customary to add in the general
school budget, such items as debt
service, transportation of pupils,
Americanization, Wilmington's con-
tribution to the support of it's
schools and funds obtained from the
sale of bonds. Similarly for 1926-27
the grand total was $3,O92,59O, from
which was deducted for the same
reasons the sum of $720128.
The supplementary budget which
is recommended for the decision of
the General Assembly carries the
following items for 1925-26:
Scholarships for training elemen-
tary teachers at University of Della
ware (same as formerly, $4,000;
Americanization (same), $25,OOO;
Smith-Hughes matching fund
(same), $4,000; transportation of
pupils ($25,OOO increase), $13O,OOO;
debt service carried by State up to
1923 but not since, S17S,7S6.
For the year 1926-27 the supple
mentary budget is as follows: Schol-
arships (same), $4,000; Americana
cation (same), $4,000; Smith
Hughes (same), $4,000; transporta-
tion Of pupils ($3O,OOO increased
S1S5,OOO; debt service, $1S5,O2S.

FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL
PROFITS ARE LARGE
A Net Profit Of $4l52.98 Has
Been Reported From Affair
By Recording Secretary.

George T. Macklin, recording sec
retary Of the Carlisle Fire Company.
of Milford, has made public the
moneys received and expended by
the company for its carnival which
was held recently. The report shows
that the total gross receipts for the
affair were $10,55410. This included
the money received from the Hospi-
tai Auxiliary, the Kings Daughters
and the New Century Club booths.
The expenses for the carnival
amounted to S6,401.12. The supplies
purchased for the booths, the band
and the rain insurance was included
IN the total expenses. This left a net
profit, after all expenses had been
paid, of $4,152.98.
The Carlisle Fire Company has
been making an excellent showing
in its finances since it's organization
several years ago. At the present
time it owns two fine pieces of mo-
dernized fire-fghting equipment
which cost several thousands of dol
lars. Both trucks are paid for with
the exception of a note of $1,30O.00

are finishing the building from the
money received by those who obli-
gated themselves to give at regular
intervals. Many of them are some
what tardy in paying up, and the
fremen have requested that they do
so at the earliest possible time.
The company has publicly thank

President Is Likely To Add Eight
To- His Total In Big Repub-
lican Sweep.
ONLY 2 STATES UNDECIDED
The Democrats Retain 1876, While
Wisconsin Alone Is Held By
La Toilette.

Nationally the Republican triumph
in Tuesdays election assumes an
even greater magnitude as the
counting of the ballots nears COM
pletiOn.
Late returns not only boosted the
total of electoral votes credited to
Coolidge and Dawes, but increased
the likelihood that the new Admins
tration will have a dependable ma
jority of it's own party in Congress.
They likewise lifted to new
heights the vast Republican majori-
ties in several States already count
ed in the Coolidge electoral column,
and gave indications of deposition
there of all of the electoral strength
now classified as doubtful.
The latest recruits to the already
crowded ranks of the Republican tri-
umphal procession are Montana and
Nevada, having between them seven
votes in the electoral college. That
would increase the party total to
374, or 10S more than is needed to
elect. For a time La Toilette had
threatened to capture one or the
other, but latest figures available ap-
pear to make both safely Republican.
Close Race in New Mexico
The electoral bag of Davis and
Bryan remained meantime at 1876,
and apparently the only chance of
an increase was in New Mexico,
where the Democratic ticket was
holding the lead by a scant plurality. |
Coolidge was gaining at ratio, |
which, if maintained, would add the |
States three votes to the Republi- |
can total.
La Follette's last opportunity to
increase the electoral vote Of thir-
teen given him by Wisconsin seem
ingly hinged on the returns from the
only other State remaining on the |
doubtful list-NOrth DakOta-with
five votes. Coolidge remained in the
lead on the face of returns from two
thirds of the State, but his plurality
was diminishing as a mounting La
vote came in from the coun-
try districts.
The congressional returns lifted
House to a point where it seemed
probable that the Administration
would be able to outvote there any
combination of Democrats and La
Toilette insurgents.
BrOOkhart Takes Lead
While earlier returns indicated the
lefeat of two pillars of the La Fol-
ette Senate bloc, Brookhart, of To- ,
va, and Johnson, of Minnesota, the
situation has changed. Brookhart
low has lead of 700 votes as a re- {
suit of rechecks of the unofficial re-
urns. An official count probably will s
De necessary to decide his fate. /
Johnson still claims that he has won !

opponent by 19,849.

REPUBLICANS TO
RULE NEXT HOUSE
BY SAFE MARGIN
Assured OF Majority Of Nineteen
And Party's Strength Is Ex-
pected To Grow.
23S SEATS ALREADY won
Returns Also Indicate RepubIi-
cans Will Be Able To Con-
troll The Senate.

The Republican Party will control
the next House of Representatives
A working majority was assured on
Thursday when further returns were
received from Tuesdays election.
With the result in sixteen con-
gressiOnal districts still in doubt,
the lineup of the New House, based
on unofficial returns, was: Republi-
cans, 2SS; Democrats, III; scatter
ed, 4.
OF the missing districts nine now
are Democratic and seven are Re
publican but even should all of these
seats be captured by the Democrats,
the Republican organization still
would have a majority Of 19 with
which to Offset defections in the La
Toilette bloc.
His majority is a result of inroads
the Republicans made on the Demo-
cratic side. They recaptured twent-
ty-three seats, while the Democrats
took only three places from them.
Solid Pennsylvania Delegation
With the last doubtful district in
Pennsylvania finally swinging into
the Republican column, the Demo-
Gratis will be without representation
in the delegation from that State,
having lost the six seats they now
hold.
Ability Of the Republican Organi- /
cation to control the Senate appear |
ed to hinge on the outcome of sena- |
torial contests in three States-Min-
nesota, New Mexico and Wyoming.
If the Republican candidates for
the Senate in two Of the three States
still in doubt are victorious and the
vacancy in Connecticut is filled by a
Republican; a coalition of Demo-
Gratis and consistent supporters of
Senator La Toilette would fall two
short of a majority.
In Minnesota and Wyoming the
nominees are leading on
the face of incomplete returns but in
New Mexico Senator Bursum was
trailing his Democratic opponent,
Sam G.. Bratton.
BrOOkhart Well in Lead
Uncertainty concerning the future
of the Senate was inten-
sified by the see-sawing fight in Iowa
between Senator Brookhart, a La
Toilette supporter, and Daniel F.
Steck, a Democrat.
After conceding his defeat, Brook
hart crept ahead of his opponent
md continued to gain until his lead
exceeded 700 votes. After full unof1-
,ial returns gave him lead of six
y-six votes rechecking was begun.
Errors were found in the returns
md the last announcement, placing
lis lead at 700, was heralded by his )
as assuring him victory. I
IN official count, however, may be {
to determine the result
positively.
This contest did not have effect

an majority in the next Senate as +
he organization has nothing to gain =
