SELBYYILLE TEACHER
FACES COURT TRIAL
Supervisor Farley Prefers Bad
Check Charge Against COlOred
Woman

Ella w. Hensen, colored, teacher
of the SelbyVille school, whose home
is at Lincoln City, Sussex county,
was arrested By County Constable
Charles T. Jester, of Georgetown on
two charges, obtaining money under
false pretenses and forgery. She
was held in $1,000 bail by Magis-
trate William ]. Mustard, and in de-
fault of surety was committed to the
Sussex county Jail for the June term
of General Sessions Court.
Charges we're brought against her
by Professor Albert Farley, rural
supervisor of schools for the south
eastern section of Sussex county.
From the evidence in the cases, 1t
appears that she had been rendering
bills to the State Board of Educa-
ton in the names of men with whom
no business transactions had Deen
made.
A bill for $40 was presented to the
State Board for two loads of wood
which she claimed had been bought
from John W. Sturgis. The cheek
was made payable to Sturgis, who
endorsed it and the woman hau ~
cashed. Sturgis claims that he dld
not know anything about the trans
action other than she asked him to
sign his name TO the back of piece
of paper.
Her next adventure was to forge
the name of John W. Burris, prom
inent business man of Milford. What
the bill she presented to the State
Board of Education was for, was not
disclosed at the hearing. However,
the officials issued a check in favor
of Burris for $6S and instructions
were given by her to mail it to Box
No. 25, at Selbyville. This was done
and the name of Burris was, it is
said, forged to the check. A second
check is said to have been issued to
Burris for $51 for supplies or some
thing pertaining to the school. This
also was sent to her postottice boX.
For some reason it was returned to
the state department, and this IS
what gave them clue that some
thing was going wrong. Immediately
an investigation was started when
led to her arrest.

Paying as We Go.

When we are feeling well and strong
and drawing wages right along and
geese are hanging high, we should let
common sense prevail and pay cash
down, upon the nail. for everything we
buy. There is no classier renown than
that for paying money down when in
the martS of trade; it yields comfort
truly great to feel we owe no human
skate: that all our bills are paid. Some
day perchance our luck will turn and
we will have no coin to burn; our jobs
may fizzle out. Or fell disease may lay
us low and we may have in throbbing
toe the symptoms of the gout. No man
can say what ills may come and knock
his fortunes out of plumb before the
day is spent. Disaster of grievous
brand may just around the corner
stand, upon our ruin bent. When said
disaster knocks us lame 1t Is a blessing
to have fame for being prompt to pay,
for hating debt as we should hate all
evil things that congregate along our
mortal way. The day may come when
we shall need a charge account so We
may feed our hungry aunts and wives;
so we may buy the children's hats and
garments to protect their Stats and save
their precious lives. The merchant
princes then will smile when we ask
credit for a while; they'll grasp our
hands and say, Just go the limit in
our store and buy three tons or maybe
four, and when you're ready, pay"
But If we've always lodged our bills,
we'll find, amid increasing Ills. our
Standoff is threadbare. The merchant
princes will refuse to sell brass knuckles,
spuds or shoes, or goose grease for our
hair. WALT MASON.

President Of the United States do moi

'The action on this program by the
House committee on naval fairs is
ample evidence that the country is not
as much alive to the necessity for a
Navy as they are to the necessity for a
merchant marine, else the cruiser bill
would certainly have been enacted into
law by the last Congress"
Referring to the I-iwanis Club he
said: The greatest assistance this or
ganization can render in the obsefv-
ance of Navy day is to urge the public
to support the cruiser building program
now before the Senate"
Ad..::ses More Chips.
Toward the close of his address, in
touching on the general subject Of re-
placement Of naval vessels, the speaker
said:
There is a special reason why re-
placement of types of vessels other than
capital ships should be energetically
proceeded with now. In few years
capital ship requirements will be re-
quired, and under the WASHINGTON
treaty will not only be allowed but must
be undertaken at the time mentioned.
If necessary cruiser, aircraft carrier,
destroyer and submarine requirements
be not proceeded with now, there will
be an unfortunate congestion of re-
quired naval building when capital
ship requirements are in order. There
will be difficulties in providing the
necessary design and inspection forces
and other facilities, and in obtaining
the considerable funds required for
such a large amount of naval building"
Secretary Wilbur in brief address
declared that no higher compliment has
been paid the naval and Marine forces
than that by the various factions in
Nicaragua, where the Marines aided in
peace.
Yesterday was chosen by the KiwaniS
Club for the observance of Navy day,
as it was its nearest luncheon to Octo-
ber 81, the official Navy day. Radford
Moses presided at the meeting. An
was made that the club
will hold its annual ladies' night meet
ing in the Mayfower Hotel tomorrow
night.
Among the guests present were Rep
reselltative William H. White, chairman
of merchant marine committee: Rear
Admiral F. Fl. Schofield, chief war plans

NEED OF WARSH|PS
TOLD BY ADMIRAL
w. H. StandIey, U. S. NJ, Re-
views Naval Requirements
in KiwanjS Club Address.

The early replacement of naval YES
sells becoming obsolete was urged by
Rear Admiral w. H. Standley, U. S. NJ,
in an address before Secretary of Navy
Curtis D. Wilbur and notable gather
ang of naval and marine officers at a
Navy day" luncheon program of the
Kiwanis Club in the Hotel Washington
yesterday.
Unless there is further agreement
between the various powers, the Situa-
tion as to the comparative strength OF
navies is exactly the same today as 1t
was before the Kellogg peace treaties
to renounce war were signed" the
speaker said.
Admiral Standley declared that "the
existence of laws and treaties have the
effect of laws, but does not insure obe-
Cience to the laws. There still must
be a sanction which can. be applied
when other measures fail. AS illus
trating this" he continued, II need only
call your attention to the fact that
there are laws on the statute books of
this country to cover every conceivable
human act, but in spite of those laws
every city and community has its well
organized police force"
In his address Admiral Standley de-
clared that the role of the Navy in
peace is not understood by the general
public ''iS evident by the statements
which are now being circulated, even
in the churches, to the effect that we
should not be prepared to protect our
selves or to enforce our neutral rights
when other nations are fighting. They
say if we have the shipe We will start
a fight"
ION this same line of reasoning" he
declared, ''if we give a policeman a
club he will start fight, or if we gi.e
the fire department machines they will
start fire." adding: "The purpose of
the Navy is to put out international
conf1agrations, not to start them"
Cites Foreign Trade.
The speaker dwelt on the Importance
Of foreign trade and the fact that the
United States is the largest importer of
goods and the second largest exporter
in the world, and stated that upon the
security of this Stupendous sea-borne
commerce depends the very existence of
our largest industries and the livelihood
of millions of our citizens" He then
quoted Theodore Douglas Robinson, As
sistant Secretary of the Navy, in giving
reasons for the maintenance of the
Navy and referring to it as the ''pro-
tector and friend of the merchant
marine"
In this general connection Admiral
Standley said:
I'VE need only consult the building
program recommended to the last Con-
greSs by the President to be convinced
that the naval authorities and the

lighted him, for while he had ex-
pected cordial reception in this
territory west of the Mississippi not
in his most optimistic moments
had he anticipated anything as
warm and as impressive as he got.
He was met at the station by
Mayor Dahlman and city officials.
