Four Southern Delaware high
school football elevens, Delmar,
Georgetown, Laurel and Seaford,
will go to the post on Friday after
noon, October 8, opening the D. L.
A. A., schedule for the champion
ship of the lower end of the State,
the winner of which will clash m
November with the winner in the
northern half. Laurel will open at
Georgetown, and Seaford will open
at Delmar. Each team will play six
games in the schedule, with prob
able practice game with some inde-
pendent team before the D. I. A. A..
opening game.
All the teams are now at hard
practice and scrimmage with the re-
spective coaches straining every eff
fort to produce a championship
eleven. Reports from the high
schools indicate one of the hardest
fought schedules in the history of
football in Southern Delaware. All
of the teams have a wealth of new
material with enough left of last
years eleven to steady the new
players. Consolidation of many ru-
raj schools with the town schools
has been the means of bringing in
hundreds of extra students, thereby

giving the coaches a much wider
range to select football material.
All the elevens are equipped with
modern football equipment, which
aids materially in the work of the
coaches. The Seaford eleven has
Just purchased a new tackling dunn
my, something the team never had
before. "Vinnie" Sullivan, brilliant
quarterback of Seaford, has been
elected captain of this years eleven.
Sullivan was by far the outstanding
quarterback of all the high school
teams in the State last year, and
should be even better this season.
Olen Moore, a powerful line man,
and Rawllines, an exceptional back
field performer, who has entered
Seaford high, will add considerable
strength to the team this year. 1t
is the cocensus of opinion of foot
ball fans who have seen seaf0rd
high at practice that the team is so
per cent stronger than last year,
when it won the championship Of
the southern half of the State.
Laurel, Georgetown and Delmar,
especially Delmar, are much strong
er than last season and it looks like
the fans are in for some exciting
games down the State this year.

TWO ACCUSED OF
ATTACK ON Girl

Charged with improper conduct
toward 12 year-Old Elsie Hammond,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. AlonzO
Hammond, whose home is near
Hickman, William Voss and Norman
Maluney, both young men who live
near the same place, were arrested
Friday afternoon by Sergeant Knox
and private O'Neil, of the State
Highway Police.
They were taken before Magis-
trate Harry P. Thaw, of Milford, and
held under $500 bail each for a
further hearing this week.
According to the story told the Of
ficers, two men went to the home
of the Hammonds while the parents
were away at work. They told the
girl that her mother had been in
jured and they would take her to
Milford where the mother was
working in a canning plant. The girl
alleges that the men picked her up
and placed her in their automobile.
She was put out in the morning
near her home and in a dazed con-
dition mayed to get to the house
where her mother was waiting.

Vice-President Charles R. Curtis
has accepted an invitation to open
the campaign for the Republican
party in Delaware on October 2.
Senator Daniel o. Hastings has re-
ceived acceptance from Vice-Presi-
dent Curtis to be in on that date. 1t
is probable that the meeting will be
held in the Playhouse in Wilmington
and efforts are being made to secure
it for that date.
There is considerable satisfaction
among Republican leaders over hav-

of the best and most convincing
speakers in the Republican party
and in addition he is well known to a
large number of people here.

HOUSTON7S PAPER
TAKES FLING AT
BAYARD POLICIES
Sussex Republican In Edi-

VOICES AMUSEMENT

In last Saturdays issue of the
Sussex Republican, published by
Representative Robert G. Houston, a
fling is taken at the Democratic
platform adopted at the recent Dow
er convention and the statement is
made the "Bayard and his friends
simply took over the situation and
ran it to suit themselves"
The editorial, which is of interest
because of the important post Mr..
Houston holds, reads as follows:
"The Democratic Convention last
Tuesday was not a love feast. After
a bitter struggle Bayard was nomi-
mated over Marvel.
Notwithstanding the work the
latter had done Bayard took it away
from him as if it belonged to him
and majority of the delegates sup
ported Bayard as if they thought the
nomination for United States Sena-
tor belonged to him and no one else
in the Democratic party in this
State had any right to even aspire
to the nomination much less expect
it, and Bayard was vindictive about
it.

ADVANCE IN RANK
ON HARBORS BODY
AWAITS HOUSTON
Reelection Means Ad-
vantage Won On Power
full House Committee
IN SEVENTH PLACE

Results of recent primaries, where
four veteran Republican members of
the Rivers and Harbors Committee
have failed of nomination, including
S. Wallace Dempsey, of New York,
chairman OF the committee, and two
Democrats, James O'Connor of New
Orleans, and Stanley Kuntz, of Ill
nois, will mean that Congressman
Robert G. Houston of Delaware will
be advanced from 18th to 7th place
on the committee, should he be re-
elected in November.
Other changes in the committee
after March 4, 1881, who were de-
feated in recent primaries include
such veteran Republican members
as M. Alfred Michaelson, of Illinois,
w. w. Chambers, of Ohio, and Grant
M. Hudson, of Michigan.
Congressman Houston has been a
member of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee since the beginning of
his present term, and since that time
he has advanced from the bottom of
the list and should he be reelected
this Nocember, he would advance to
seventh place with the reorganiza-
ton of the committee after March
4, 1881, and in the event there were
designations of members standing
above him on the committee, he
would climb still further toward the
chairmanship.
The importance of becoming chair
man of such a powerful and inf1uen-
tial committee is an ambition of
many members of the House and
State delegation. Especially is this
important to state with a small
delegation. Much prestige and pow
er goes with the Craftsmanship of
such a committee.
When former Congressman Caleb
R. Layton finished his second term
in the House, he was the second
ranking member of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee, and had he been
returned for a third or fourth term
Delaware would have had for the
first time as far as can be recalled
the craftsmanship of this influential
committee.
The result of the coming election
will also affect membership of other
State delegations. In the case of
Senator Daniel o. Hastings, if he is
reelected in November he will ad-
vance at least two positions on the
State Judiciary Committee, by the
fact that Senators Gillett, of Massa-
chusetts, and Deneen, of Illinois,
will not be members after next
March 4.

On October 9TH To

One of the determining factors in
securing the War Departments per-
mission for public concert tours by
the U. S. Army Band was that such
tours would have inspirational and
educational aspects.
With programs carefully built
with that in mind, the Army Band
is embarking upon its third annual
public concert tour, which will
bring it for two concerts at Long
wood. The Country Estate of Mr.. P.
S. DUPONT, near Kennett Square,

under auspices of the American
Legion Home, Inc, of Wilmington.
Of particular interest this year is
the music of the Old World, in
which the Army Band has been a
recognized leader, but for which it
has been especially prepared by its
recent trip to Europe.
By authorization of the War De-
partment and Congress, the Army
Band was sent to the Ibero-Ameri-
can Exposition at Seville, Spain. But
on it's way it visited some of the i'm
portant capitals of the continent.
Everywhere it was received with
acclaim, at the same time adding
presents of original European man
uscripts to it's library, the gifts OF
the famous band leaders on the 9th

musical views with these artists but
were rehearsed by them i'll some OF

Milford. He is a frequent visitor in
town, as are practically all of his
players who make regular trips to
the Caulk Laboratories where their
teeth are kept in first class condi-
ton. Several months ago Mr.. Mack
promised some of his friends here
that he would bring his team to Mil

early in May, but arrangements
could not be made at that time. The

FIND Ring LOST
81 YEARS AGO
Ornament Was Dropped
In Corn Field In June,
1879 -

A coincidence was made known
at Dover this week when a solid
gold band ring which was lost over
81 years ago, was found in field
by J. B. Donovan, residing on what
was known for many years as the
James Knight farm near Frederica
and formerly owned and tenated by
Hugh L. Knight, father of Miss Jen-
ME Knight, his daughter, who
owned the ring and who lost it a
short time after receiving it in June
1879.
The ring was a class ring of Miss
Knight, afterwards Mrs. Harry Nc
Daniel, Sr., of Dover, when she at
tended the Bordentown Female In
stitute at Bordentown, N. J. The in
scription on the ring both inside and
out is still clear. The ring shows no
furnishing or any marks or scratch
es, and so bright was it when Mr..
Donovan brought the ring 10 Dover
to Harry Mcdaniel, Sr., that Mr..
Mcdaniel thought it had been pol
ished.
Mrs. Mcdaniel has been dead Al
years and since that time and be-
fore, several searches were made
for the ring, all without avail. Mr..
Donovan found the ring while husk-
ing corn in a large field and on
picking it up thought possibly it had
been dropped from an airplane,
which frequently flies over the field.
Mr.. Mcdaniel prizes the ring
highly and has shown it to many of
Dover's older residents who were
personally acquainted with his wife.
