VAUDEVILLE ON SUSSEX
BILL NEXT WE'D. g. THURS.

'Ilidin' for Justice, Buck Jones
rides into thrills, romance and al
most into death in his latest western
for Columbia. "Ridin' for Justice"
showing at the Sussex Theatre Fri
day and Saturday. Buck is said TO
be cast in the most romantic screeR
role of his career. The subject of
his armour is the pretty Mrs. Doran,
who appeared to such excellent ad-
vantage in Broadway Melody, "Our
Blushing Brides, Criminal Code"
and Remote Control. Also on the
same program is the fourth episode
of Battling with Buffalo Bill', "Kriss
Krossed'', a single reel subject and
one of those lOveable "Krazy Kat"
| cartoons.
Heraled as one of the outstanding
talking pictures of the year, "The
Sin of MadelOn Claudet" will be the
feature attraction on the screen Sun
day midnite and Monday and Tues
day, Feb. 8th and 9th. The story is
one of tremendous emotional sweep,
depicting the melodramatic career of
a woman who sinks to the lowest
depths for the sake of her child.
Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 10
and II, the Sussex Theatre again
brings to its patrons a stage show
that is worth while and at the low
popular admission of 15c and 35c, to-
gether one of it's regular photoplays
on the screen, Wednesday and
Thursday you will see four real acts
of Vaudeville on the stage and be
entertained with the latest jokes,
songs and dances, pretty girls and
plenty of pep. While on the screen
you will enjoy "The Secret Witness,
when thrills and mystery become too
tense, relief is provided either by
Zasu Pitts as a switchboard operator,
or Paul Hurst as a policeman. Una
Merkel, William Collier, Jr., and
large cast of splendid artists, keep
up the excitement.
l know that you will want to
know that next week, Monday and
tuesday, "Sooly", and Wednesday
and Thursday, Ills Woman, will
play at the Sussex Theatre, so start
planning to see those two great pic
lures by Paramount.

SUSSEX COUNTY
AGAIN TOHAVE
WHIPPING POST
Court Sentences Prisoner
To Be Whipped There
Next Week

Twenty-Five years ago after being
in use in Sussex county for about q
century, the whipping post, as Il
means of punishment for larceny
was abolished and since that time
all prisoners, upon whom lashes
have been imposed, have been fog
ged at the New Castle County
WOrkhouse.
Now the whipping-post is to be
returned once more to this county
and future flogging of SUSSEX Grim
inals will take place in the Jail near
Georgetown.
This was decided on hy Judges w.
w. Harrington and Charles s. Rich
ards, sitting i'm the Court of General
Sessions, Tuesday afternoon, when
they sentenced John Smith, cOlOred,
of Baltimore, to be whipped by Sher-
iff Lorenzo w. Brittingham at the
Jail on Saturday, February 13, be-
tween the hours of 10 A. NJ. and p.
NJ, with five lashes, for stealing
four chickens from Mike Malafatino.
near Bridgeville, on the night of
January Is. In addition to the five
lashes, Smith is to serve six months
in the county Jail.
The judges have decided to SEN
tence all prisoners to the Sussex
county Jail, now that Il new institu-
tiOn has been built at the county
aImshouse farm, two miles from
Georgetown, at a cost Of nearly
100000 and soon will be ready to
turn over to the Levy Court Com
missioners.
By mutual agreement between the
Levy Court Commissioners Sheriff
Brittingham and the Court, it is
stated, the prisoners are to be taken
to the new institution, as soon as ii
is ready for occupancy, and Elton II.
Wood, superintendent of the aims
house farm, is to supervise the new
institution for Cheriff Brittingham.
The matter was taken up with Mr..
Wood by the authorities, it is stated,
at a meeting of the Levy Court COM
missioners, Sheriff Birmingham and
d. J. Layton, attorney for the cOU-
missioners. Mr.. Wood, it is stated, |
consented to take ON the additional |
duties, stating that he believed he
would be able for the time being to
handle both jobs.
In connection with the sentencing |
of Smith to be whipped on Saturday,
February 70, Sheriff BrittinghaTn
finds it necessary to have a post
made. This he will do. Where the
post is to be located is not known
at this time.
1t may be temporarily placed on
the premises of the oil jail, or it |
may be erected at the new jail bull
ding at the almshouse farm. Flog-
gings were always public in Sussex
county. Whether Smith is to hug
Susan" in the open or within the
Jail walls is not known. This will
be decided this week. The last pub
lie whipping to take place in Sus-
sex county was Ford Allen, who was
given ten lashes with gum switch
on the bare back in the rear of the
Sussex County Court House on Oc-
tober 6, 1906. The crime was lar
ceny, and the lashes, according TO
some who remember it, were well
laid on.

STRIKERS TOOK NOVEL PLAN TO
 MAKE PROTEST
Clothing Workers Threw Themselves in Front of Truck That Was Carry-
 ing NOn-UniOn Products

r New York, Aug 9.-(UP)-Strik- ing clothing workers have adapted Maflatma Gandhis passive resist ance principle to fit their own needs-and reported success when a dozen strikers lay down in front of delivery truck and stopped it. The truck was moving near Fifth avenue with a load of nOn-unfon product. A dozen strikers dart ed from the sidewalk and dropped before the truck. Bystanders shouted warnings, but the strikers wanted no help.
 The truckman stopped. A few moments later he headed back toward his starting point, escorted by strikers. It's an effective plan, Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers said. Every right thinking per- son admires persons who will lie down in front of a truck and be run over rather than let it out. You have a right to protect your jobs.'' The clothing workers are striking in an effort to close sweat shops and non-union plants.

SERVANT GIRL TRAGEDY IS NOT NEAR SOLUTION
Body of Lura Jacobs Was Found in Merrimac Rivec Near Concord, R
 Who Killed Her Is U6. known

Concord, N. H., Aug 9-(UP1F How Miss Lura Jacobs, attractife, shapely servant girl, was killed, mained to-day as much of . mE&e tery as who killed her-and why
 Exhaustive investigation begun when her unmarked body Was taken Sunday from the MerrimaeIx river three miles from here has failed to indicate how death was dealt to the young woman who lately had complained to police that men were pursuing her. Neith- CT has any evidence been uncaK- cred to allay suspicious of foul play.
 Discovery of two small express parcels addressed to Miss Jacobs on the river bank here yesterday led to identification of the body. The address on the packages was that of Portsmouth lodging house where Mise Jacobs had been living in frank fear for her life. Che parcel contained a bungalow apron and a cook book. The other held heat gauge.
 As authorities reconstructed the case to-day, Miss Jacobs was way- laid and slain during a stopover on a train trip from Portsmouth to St Johnsbury, Vt. While awaiting the Sunday morning milk train to White River Junction, they theor- ized, she probably went for a stroll that ended in death.
 Sheriff George A. Wooster learned that she bought ticket to St Johnsbury Saturday at Ports- mouth and that her baggage-ra trunk and a suitcase-arrived at the Vermont city while her, body lay among abandoned automobiles and other junk cluttering the river.
 Evidently Miss Jacobs was killed some distance from the river, the sheriff said, pointing out that her shoes were stained with tar and asphalt as though her body were dragged acros sa road to the Merri- mack.
 Miss Jacobs mother, Mrs Lettie. Thatcher, was located last night at her home in Surry, near Keene. She knew of the girls intended trip from Portsmouth to St Johnsbury. A brother of the dead girl revealed that within the past fortnight she withdrew about $100 from Keene bank. He hinted robbery might have motivated the killing.
 Dr Charles Duncan, state pathol- ogist, reported to-day he had found no traces of poison in the vital. organs. He said he would make blood tests to see whether she had been asphyxiated-perhaps smoth- cred.

OLD PRISON OF | ST LAZARE WILL | BE DESTROYED
Historic Spot, Where Many Women Were Held or Sent to Their Deaths, in Hands of WreCkerS

Paris, Aug 9.-(UP)-The his- toric women's prison of St Lazare, gloomy house of sorrow where Mata Hari and many other women famous in history were confined or went to their deaths, was given over to the housewreckers to-day {. Demolition of the structure was be- gun to make way for a handsome, modern building which will house the activities of the auvergnats. or residents of Paris who hail from the old province of Auvergne.
 The ugly, unsanitary old prison, has stood on it's site in the Rue De Faubourg St Denis, since long be- fore the revolution. It was built on the site of the ancient St LaZare hospital for lepers, which dated back nearly 1000 years. The most famous modern prisoner of St La zare was Mata Hari, the spy, who went from there to face a firing squad. In more recent years, Mime Marthe Hanau, the French wo- man "Ponzi," was imprisoned there.
