President Coolidge said in a letter

The letter followed a recent visit at

and DIR. 4. b. Phillips, Epiphany pas

class to create wider interest In the
Scriptures and inviting him to attend
the church services yesterday.
Mr.. Coolidges letter said that the
folkndation of American society and

be difficult to support them if faith in
these teachings should cease to be

ganizations in the United States of
hindering the Americanization OF
Italian immigrants by instilling the
autocratic ideal.
Prof. Salvemini said that the eco
nomic disturbances in Italy following
the war had been exaggerated and
furnished no basis for Mussolinis
statement that Italians were too weak
to govern themselves.
Prof. Salvemini himself was arrested
and tried in 1926 on the charge of
having published an anti-government
paper. The governments case fell
through. but he was warned to leave
Italy. He has spent his time since

AUTO HIT TRAIN; TWO INJURED
Raymond LOfiand, George Graft Cut
and Bruised in Crash at Georgetown

While returning from Slaughter
Beach where they had been to get a
load of fish, early Friday morning,
Raymond Lofland, son of Willard E.
Lofand, and George Graft, son of
Charles Graft, both of Millsboro, ran
their Ford touring car into a freight
train at the Market street crossing
at Georgetown, badly damaging the
machine and injuring Lofiand about
the face and head, and Graft about
the chest, hand and one leg. An un-
known negro on the rear seat of the
machine, was stunned by the impact,
but before an investigation could be
made he left the scene. The freight
train was bound from Franklin City,
Va, north, and reached Georgetown
about 800 o'clock. The engine had
just taken water and was getting
ready to pull out when the automobile
ran into it. They struck the forty
first car attached to the train, smash
ing the front of the automobile and
turning it around on the track in the
same direction the train was going.
So far as can be learned none of the
occupants was thrown from the car.
Flying glass from the windshield cut
them about the face and head, while
the other injuries are believed to have
been the result of being thrown into
the front part of the car. They were
carried to the office of DR.. Joseph B.
NAPLES, who administered to them
temporarily, and later they were car
ried to the Marshall Hospital in Mil
ford for treatment. While their in
juries are painful, both being cut Sc
verely by glass, their recovery is eX-
pected.

FIVE PRISONERS MAKE BREAK
FROM JAIL At GEORGETOWN
SAW LATCH FROM STEEL CELL
AND CUT BARS FROM WINDOW
Leave One Behind-Edward w. Hayes
Convicted of Barn Burning, Be-
lieved Leader; Had Outside Help

Five prisoners, two white and
three negroes, escaped from the Sus-
sex county Jail at Georgetown, Mon
day morning by saving the latch from
a steel cell in which they were confin-
ed and then saving through two bars
Of window which permitted their es-
cape from the Jail. The escape was
carefully planned, it is believed, and
that the prisoners had outside help, is
proved by their possession of hack
saw with which the bars were cut.
The prisoners who escaped are: Ed
ward w. Hayes, white, of Greenwood,
awaiting sentence on charge Of ar
son in having burned the barn Of John
Elwood Dukes, a Philadelphia attor-
ney. Hayes was convicted last We'd
nesday on the charge. Robert Wilk-
erson, Jr., white of Delmar, awaiting
trial on a charge of larceny of auto
mobile accessories from Carl F. Gordy
of Delmar. Lee Farlow, negro, of
Selbyville, charged with assault and
battery on B. NJ. Adams, of Bridge
vile, on June Is. Lee Davis, negro,
of Bridgeville, convicted on a charge
of carrying concealed deadly weap-
on and fined $50. Carlton Gale, negro
of Delmar, awaiting trial on a charge
of larceny of an automobile. That the
Jail break was carefully planned in
advance is shown by the fact that
Hayes, who is believed to have been
the ringleader of the fugitives, offer
ed freedom to another prisoner, who
was serving a short sentence on a
charge of drunkenness and whose
time expired Monday. This man was
the only prisoner left in the jail and
he refused to join in the escape. He
told Sheriff William G. Bryan that
the break must have occurred between
midnight and o'clock Monday morn
ing. The prisoner awoke at 5 o'clock
Monday morning and found his fellow
prisoners gone He called for the
sheriff, who hurried to the cell and
made an examination and also sent to
police officials throughout the State
and to nearby Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania authorities. 1t was reported
that two of the fugitives, Farlow and
Davis, were recaptured by Highway
Police near Dover.

SMYRNA'S 'MOVIE" CHANGE
Dover News COngratulates Smyrna on
George NJ. Schwartz as Manager

Dover News COngratulates Smyrna on
George NJ. Schwartz as Manager
The Dover State News has this to
say about the change that has taken
place in the ownership of the Smyrna
motion picture business at "The
Strand: "It is always gratifying to
Us to be able to chronicle the success
Of. one of Dover's business men, and
particularly pleasing is it in this in
stance when our subject happens to
be our good friend, Geo. NJ. Schwartz,
manager Of the New Dover Opera
House. Manager Schwartz, as has just
been announced, has bought out the
Strand Theatre in Smyrna, where he
will offer the patrons of our neighbor-
ing town the same high quality pic
lures that he has been giving the peo-
PIE of Dover for some years past. It
is needless for us to tell the people Of
Dover that Manager Schwartz has all
ways given his patrons in Dover the
very best motion pictures to be OBJ
tanned, for they are fully aware of
that fact. Many of the very best pic
lures IIldL nave ever UGGH JIONuCCu
have made their appearance at the
New Dover Opera House almost sim
ultaneously with their appearance in
the largest cities in the country, and
at a much lower price. We can as
sure our friends in Smyrna that they
will be afforded the finest entertain
ment obtainable at the Strand, with
MrSchwartz in charge of the manage
ment. We congratulate them upon
the change, for it means that Smyrna,
like Dover, will in the future enjoy the
same high class entertainment that
may be found in any metropolitan
city, and at very reasonable cost.
We congratulate Manager Schwartz
for extending the scope of his business
activities, and assure him he will en-
joy the heartiest cooperation on the
part of the Smyrna theatre-going
public. And we congratulate the peo
pie of Smyrna that they, like we in
Dover, will have George M. Schwartz
looking out for their picture needs"
