90 WIDELY KNOWN RESIDENTS
CAUGHT IN TEA HOUSE RAID.
FEDERAL AGENTS SEIZE BEER
AND LIQUOR NEAR NEWARK
James LambrOs Arrested When
Officials Visit Embassy Night
Club on Philadelphia, Pike

A search is being made by Fed
eral prohibition agents for the pro-
prietor of the Delaware Tea House,
located on the Lincoln Highway
between Wilmington and Newark,
who fled through the basement
windows, early Sunday morning,
when the place was raided by
agents from the Office of Harold D.
Wilson, deputy prohibition admin
istrator for Delaware. Following
the raid, Mr. Wilson said that about
80 persons, identified as prominent
residents of Wilmington and near
by, were found in the building and
that all were compelled to identify
themselves before they were re-
leased. Unless the proprietor is To-
catd, Mr.. Wilson said, all the pers-
ons will be summoned to testify to
their knowledge of the ownership
of the "tea" house. When the
agents arrived at the place, Mr..
Wilson said, they found everything
in darkness, but a number Of auto
mobiles were parked in the rear.
When the agents forced their way
into the building, quantity of
liquor had been thrown upon the
floor, but about one-half gallon of
it was mopped up. In the base
ment, he said, were found two bar
rels of beer, one containing ten gal
Ions and the other containing 16
gallons. A number of empty bar
rels were scattered about, he said.
Samples taken from the barrels
containing beer, he said, revealed
that it was 'fhigh powered" When
a search was made for the pro-
prietor and walters, it was found
that all attendants had fled
through the cellar windows.

Historic English Mill
Yields to Father Time

The restless hand of time, aided
and abetted by the heavy gun
fire Of modern war, and strength
ened by little final push from the
wind, has brought destruction upon
one more landmark connected with
the early history of the United
States.
The old mill at Billericay in Es-
sex, England, from near which the
Pilgrims set sail for the new land,
has collapsed. Its huge beams of
solid oak. which stood the strain
and stresses of time and work
from the days of the Pilgrims to
the outbreak of the World war, have
at last found their burden too
heavy, and. as the foundations
weakened, gave way during a storm.
The old mill was closed during
the war, as the location was con-
sidered too dangerous for the grind
ing of grain of the nearby country
side. Later it fell under suspicion
as rendezvous of German spies
and was boarded up. Heavy gun
fire was frequent in this section, and
the vibrations gradually weakened
the old structure.
AT house, close by the mill, was
the scene of the meeting of the Pill
grim band just before it set sail for
America. Close by, also, another
pilgrim, but one bent upon destruc-
ton, came to the end of its journey,
for one Of the large German Yep
pelins fell in a field adjacent to the
mill.
The construction of the mill was
almost entirely of oak, and the huge
shaft for the wheel was a tremen-
dous oak trunk. No nails or spikes
of any kind were used in the con-
struction.

. SAFE MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christmas Trees Are Sometimes
dangerous, Says Safety Council

According to the Delaware Safe
~ Council, one of the most import
ont things for Merry Christmas
i having the whole family safe
and sound and able to enjoy the
davis celebration. That is one of
tbe rewards for working safety. 1t
ouoht to be sufficient compensation
for being careful when the unsafe
wav looked quicker and easier. At
this time of the year attention is
being called to the fact that even
Christmas trees are sometimes dan
gerous. The injurying of hun
dreds of persons and the killing of
MANY in order that the rest may
have a jolly old-fashioned Merry
Christmas hardly seems fair, yet
that is the sacrifice we lay on the
altar of Yuletide cheer. 1t is all
right to have a Christmas tree but
there are a few rules which must
he followed if accidents are to be
avoided. Be sure the tree is on a
firm base and braced solidly so
that it will not topple over. Great
caution should be used in purchas-
ing articles for the tree. Use moth
ing inflamable such as tissue, crepe
paper or cotton. Metal tinse1,
flake asbestos, glass ornaments and
artificial snow can now be purchas-
ed and they are not only safe but
produce beautiful effects. Never
use candles for illumination. Elec-
trio lights are much safer, provided
the circuit is not overloaded and is
properly connected. Always use
electric lights that are standard
equipment. Hang electric bulbs on
the tree SO that they will not come
in contact with anything that can
be ignited by their heat. Santa
Claus himself is sometimes a fire
hazard. Often his costume would
burn furiously if accidentally ig-
nited. It can be rendered safer if
sprayed with solution Of water
glass. which is obtainable at all
drug stores. Toys which use gaso-
line, gerosene or alcohol are dan
gerous gifts for children. Use safe
ty film in motion picture machines.
Quick burning film gives off deadly
fumes if it catches fire. Use a
step-ladder when decorating the
tree. The use Of boxes or chairs
often cause painful falls. Dispose
Of wrapping paper, excelsior and
other waste at once. Get rid Of
the tree by New Years Day. At
ter that it is dried out and highly
infamable.

Introduced Beer Bill Last Week

A bill to amend the prohibition
act to legalize beer containing 3
per cent alcohol was introduced
last week by Representative Auf
Der Heide of west New York. 1t
was the fourth such bill introduced
by Auf Der Heide since he went to
Congress, and the fifth to change
the prohibition law introduced at
this session by members of Con-
gress from New Jersey. Auf Der
Heide said his bill would be one of
a hundred or more introduced in
the House to bring about a change
in the Volstead Act. He said bills
to change the prohibition laws
were being introduced to put mem
bers on record as to their attitude
on prohibition.

CAMDEN POSTOFFICE change
IS NOW A RUN0R IN KENT
PRESENT POSTMASTER MAY
NOT BE REAPPOINTED
Possibility of Resident of Rising
Sun to Succeed Stephen r. Miller
in January, 1882

Politicians of Camden, and vicin
ity are aroused over the report
that the present postmaster at
Camden, Stephen r. Miller, may be
removed when his term expires in
January and that a resident of Ris-
ing Sun some two miles distant,
will be named as Miller's successor.
Members of the Republican county
organization of Kent when asked
of the reported change denied that
the organization was presenting a
candidate from Rising Sun but at
the same time had but little to say
about the possibility of Miller's re-
appointment. Miller, who has held
the office full term, admitted that
he was an applicant for re-appoint-
ment but refused to comment on
the report of his possible removal.
The Camden postmaster's term at
stake, has renewed the rumors as
to Dover's postmaster, the present
incumbent's term, B. T. Simmons,
having expired last March and no
intimation as to a successor has
been heard for many months. Dur
ing the last session of the Della
ware Legislature and after its ad-
journment in April, it was presum-
ed that Representative E. E. Ben
son of Dover would be named as
Dover's postmaster as he was an
announced candidate for the office
long before the term of the Office
was supposed to expire in March,
1880.
