DRY AGENTS RAID
LEWES SPEAKEASIES
TCortinned from First Paael

station. Because Commissioner Polk
was out of town the prisoners did
not receive earlier hearings. They
will be given further hearings this
Saturday and Monday and probably
be held for the December term of U.
S. District Court.
The seventeen-year-Old boy, JO-
seph Shermerer, was captured with
Edwin M. Edgens, thirty-six years
old, in speakeasy on Front street.
Both were charged with sale and pos
session and each held under $4,000
bail.
Josephs uncle, Alfred Shermerer,
thirty-five years old, was arrested on
charge of sale and possession and
held under $4,000 bail.
The others held were: Archie
Lockwood, colored, As, sale and pos
session, SOS Park avenue, $4,000 bail.
Ray Purnell, colored, So years old,
sale and possession, $4,000 bail.
Georgiana Stockley, colored, 21
years old, sale and possession, $4,000
bail.
Mrs. Rhoda V. Taylor, As years old,
sale and possession, $4,000 bail.
The raids were made on evidence
said to have been obtained by one
of the local prohibition agents.
Search warrants were obtained
and the ten agents summoned from
Philadelphia to aid in searches and
in the event of trouble.
All the agents, operating under the
supervision of Mr.. Cunning, left by
automobile and truck for Lewes.
The truck was taken to haul back
contraband liquor which was expect
ed to be seized.
Bootleggers in Delaware-and they
number quite far into the hundreds
have taken comfort in the past in
the knowledge that there were only
four prohibition agents on active
duty in Delaware.
They knew each of these four
agents by sight and knew what kind
of cars they operated.
The bootleggers, therefore, pur-
sued their business on the theory
that since there was but one agent
to watch over about $4,000 persons
in Delaware, the chances of any
buys or other evidence being obtain
ed against them was one in one thou
sand.
Saturdays raids, however, it is
firmly believed, will instill a new
variety of fear in the hearts of the
and peddlers. The raids
indicate that the four Delaware
agents can at moments notice OBJ
tain the assistance of dozen or
more from other parts of the Della
ware Pennsylvania-New Jersey dis
trict.

A farm, for census purposes, in
cludes all the land which is iderctly
farmed by one person, either by his
labor alone or with the assistance of
members of his household, or hired
employees. When landowner has
one or more tenants, renters, crop

Apparently we have forgotten a

in life. A backward look will reveal
them as the big things. Get the habit

asm. The world is hungry for faith.
The young man is the future incar-
nate. Let every failure teach you
the game. Public confidence is the
young mans best asset. Get down
to earth; that is where the people
live. The world is not down on you;
it is just busy, that is all. A man
who won't get up when he is knock
ed down is of no use. These are all

seldom entirely off the ground dragging
his wing tips, skidding savagely on

Precautions Taken Against Outbreak or
Attack on President.

BUENOS AIRES, August 30 IT,
Reinforcements of heavily armed troops
were brought in today by the govern
ment as precaution against possible
outbreak or an attempt TO assasstnate
President Hipolito Yrigoyen.
The resignation of the Minister Of
War Luis Dellepian was reported to
be imminent by the newspaper La
Critica this evening.
The 9th Regiment Of Cavalry
marched in from Campo Mayo with full
war equipment, while the thousands of
soldiers garrisoned in the capital were
either guarding strategic positions or
held in quarters for instant duty.
The government began taking meas
ures against trouble Thursday night
following upon the declaration Of
24-hour strike by 5000 telephone en-
ployes. and it was said there was no
fear of a revolt, although the president
believed an attempt might be made to
kill him.
Little Strike Trouble.
Strikers caused little trouble, merely
cutting few lines, which were quickly
of an exchange. but troops and police
remained on duty nevertheless.
The squares near the Presidents
house and the capitol were heavily
guarded, while atop Yrigoyen's Palace
machine gun crews sat with their guns
ready to sweep the streets. Other
forces were posted at the Cabildo Build
ing adjacent to the Government House;
the Banco de la Nacion and the gov
IRt,tl a flNa
plaza Three deStroyers we're anchored
in the harbor, prepared for action.
Thus far there has been little trouble
except a shooting affair last night in
which two men-one a divisional chief
of the territorial police--were wounded.
This occurred as 5000 Yrigoyenistas
were parading the streets in a demon
Stration for the President. At one
point they we're fired on by a bystander
and returned the shots, the two
casualties resulting.
Prisoners Face Inquiry.
It is reported that a summary in
vestigation has been ordered into the
activities of four army officers and 10
on-commissioned officers, arrested
yesterday and confined in the 1st
Infantry barracks.
The officers are Col Mayora, Lieut..
Col. Rocco, Capt. Jorgensen and Lieut..
Carosella.
The destroyers Catamarca, Cordoba
and Mendoza, which arrived in port
yesterday to reinforce the gunboat
squadron, swung idly at anchor today.
The Minister of Marine, Rear Ad-
miral Zarueta, was busy receiving naval
officers throughout the day.
Opponents of President Yrigoyen are
said to be planning a counter demon
stration TO last nights show of strength
by the Yrigoyenistas.
