FIRE WRECKS RESTAURANT Of
GEO. PAPPAS ON BOULEVARD
PLACE ON BOULEVARD NEAR
CORNER MI. VERNON STREET
Smyrna Firemen Called Out at
4.S0 Saturday Morning and Kept
Fire ConfineG-Loss $4,000

A fire alarm early Saturday
morning about 4.30 o'clock, called
our firemen to the restaurant of
George Pappas on the Boulevard,
known as Georges Place and sit
uated near the corner of Mt. Yer
non street. The fire which was
caused by the explosion of a gaso-
line line connecting with the cof-
fee urn, spread like wild fire to-
the kitchen Immediately in the
rear of the store and restaurant.
BY the time the firemep arrived
the rear of the building was
mass of flames and it was impos-
sible to save anything. Mr.. Pap
pas lost his big electric refriger-
ator, valued alone at $1,000, his
cash register, and stock Of goods
which Mr.. Pappas estimated at
$4,000. There was hardly any
thing in the restaurant that was
not damaged. What the flames
did not scorch or burn the water
from the fire hose soaked. Mr..
Pappas places his loss, building,
contents and all at about SIS ZOO
on which there was a partial in
surance. The latter was not in
the restaurant at the time. He
kept his place open for service
day and night and at the time of
the fire his night men, Messrs.
William Pappas and R. R. Stew
ems were on duty. Stevens had
stepped out for something and
Bill Pappas, (who is a cousin of
the proprietor), was back of the
counter waiting on customer.
He was in the act of lighting the
coffee urn when the explosion
took place. After the fire siren
was sounded, the usual custom of
tolling the fire bell to announce
the number of the fire zone dis
trict it was in, did not take place
and many who thought it might
have been fire out of town, did
not leave their homes. Had it
been definitely known that the
fire at that early hour in the
morning, was in town, the crowd
would have been much larger. The
reason for not announcing the fire
zone, it is said, was that the rope
attachment to the fire bell was
temporarily out of commission.
However, there was quite a crowd
to assemble and the smoke and
flames made a spectacular blaze
Pappas Restaurant is situated be-
tween Doughten's Garage and
Daughters Miniature Golf Course.
Some concern was felt for a time
over both Mr.. Daughters proper
ties, but the Smyrna firemen, al
ways quick on the job, had the
blaze soon under control. Across
from the Miniature Golf Course on
Mt. Vernon Street, corner of
is the popular and well
known Wayside Inn, but it was at
no time threatened because the
wind was blowing in opposite di-
rection. Mr.. Pappas intends to
start rebuilding at once.

DRIVERS GROWING
Claims Many of Them Operate
Autos After Licenses are Revoked

Autos After Licenses are Revoked
That the number of convictions
OF automobile drivers for driving
while drunk is increasing and will
exceed the number last year, is
the statement of Secretary of
State Charles H. Grantland, who
IS the head of the motor vehicle
department. The secretary is of
the opinion that rs per cent of
the men who are convicted of driv-
ing while drunk and their licenses
revoked arrested and fined. The
secretary also thinks that the
state law governing trucks should
De changed so that it would be
more definite in reference to the
weight of loads allowed. Mr..
Grantland said the situation can
De met by increasing the number
OF inspectors and having the men
who drive after their licenses are
revoked and fined. 1t was an
nounced that sale of automobile
licenses will begin November IS,
ana from thatdate until Dec. LIST,
motorists may get their present
number. After that they must
take the number assigned. The
new licenses viii go into effect on
January 1 and no grace will be al
lowed. Those who fail to have
automobiles inspected as required
ny law will not be granted licens-
es.

LAST REGISTRATION DAY
POI Qualify in Smyrna ON Satur-
day Making a Total of 975 for
District-Active Thru State

Saturday was the last Registra-
tion day before the coming annual
election and there was much ac-
tivity all over the State by both
the Republican and Democratic
parties to get names qualified and
transfers made. Here in Smyrna
Miss Emily w. Spruance registrar
of the First Election of the First
Representative District, registered
SO names on Saturday, a total of
772 for the election district. Grov-
er c. King, registrar of the Sec
ond Election of First Represen-
tative District, put on 105 names
Saturday, a total of 203 for the
district. The total put on for
Duck Creek Hundred during the
three days setting of the Regis
tration Board is 975. This does
not include those permanently
registered. Thruout Kent County
it is estimated that 1000 were reg
istered. Sussexis reported 1000.
In the rural New Castle it is re-
ported that 14OO names were add
ed to the books while in Whining
ton $500 voters registered Satur-
day or approximately 1000 in the
State. In Wilmington there was
more or less confusion and already
there are muttering of contests.
Just how many Of the names will
be stricken from the voting list is
a matter of speculation. Both the
Republican and Democratic part
les agree that there are number
of names on the lists that do not
belong there. These appeals were
already started in Wilmington.
Former Judge Hugh M. Morris, on
behalf of a non-partisan checkup
made by Mr.. Biggs,ap peared be-
fore Judge Herbert L. Rice with a
list of about 5000 names. The
Republican party leaders after a
checkup said they had found a
list of approximately 1000 that did
not belong on the qualified list of
voters. Both in Kent and Sussex
counties a large number of ap-
peals are expected to be heard.
These appeals are being heard by
the Court sitting at Dover this
week and Georgetown next week.
Former Judge Morris, in speaking
of the number of names that
should be stricken from the list,
said he was interested solely in
purging from the list names that
do not belong there. Il am inter-
ested in doing everything to insure
an honest election" he said, and
then added IF I were not interest
ed, 1 would be neglecting my
duty" Mr.. Morris will have asso-
ciated with him, Mr.. Biggs, James
H. Hughes, Jr., William T. Lyman
Jr., John B. Jester, E. E. Berl and
w. w. Knowles. Frank L.Speak-
man, Harry F. Joslyn and David
j. Rhinehardt, Jr., will present the
1000 registration appeals for the
Leaders of both part
les have apparently agreed, ac-
cording to statements of those in
terested, that the non-partisan list
no doubht, contains all of the
names on which apepals will be
heard.
