Congressman Calls New York
Educator a "Demigod of
DenationaIization"
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Representative George Holden
Tinkham of Massachusetts, today
threw down the gauntlet to DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, and chal-
lenged the educator to "come
clean on all his activities, secret
and otherwise, for the denational-
ization of the United States"
The Massachusetts Congress-
man, after tracing the career OF
DR.. Butler, exclaimed:
81 challenge this demigOd Of
Standardization to bring out
into the light of day his activi-
ties, secret and otherwise, for
the standardization Of the
United States"
Must Face Fight
Representative Tinkham con-
tinued:
"He says he wants peace.
Let him know now, once and
for all, that unless he retireS
TO one of his internationally
minded foreign countries he
will have a fight on his hands
the very echoes of which shall
awaken 12O,OOO,OOO Americans
to his secret aims and ambi-
tiOnS and his desires and hopes
to see swept off this earth
American independence, Ameri-
can sovereignty, American neu-
traIity and American safety"
Representative Tinkham indi-
Gated that one of the immediate
objectiVes of his resolution intro
duced on the floor of the House
last Friday is to disclose the
names of persons who are con-
nected with the "disloyal anc
seditious" movement, the amount!
of money they receive as patriots

SubverSive Methods
That the Carnegie Endowment

Corporation of New York, which
"has had $135,OOO,OOo with which
to function" Tinkham does not
doubt.
He believes, he stated, that the

FOUR BEAUTIES
READY TOFACE
'CURLEY GUY
WanderWeII Widow Due for
GriIIing by Defense at
Yacht Murder Trial

LONG BEACH, Cal, Feb. 6
QN.S0 -Four women, all con-
Sidered beauties, were scheduled
to take the witness stand today
to add their testimony to the
case against William James
CCurley"D Guy, on trial for the
murder of Capt. Walter Wander
well.
The first is the widow of the
slain globe trotter, aloha
Wanderwell, taWny-haired. and
low-spoken, who already has told
the jury Of an alleged quarrel
between Guy and her husband.
Today she was to undergo cross
examination.
Another is Marion Smith, dark
eyed, curly-haired girl from
Georgia and one of that strangely
assorted crew which Wanderwell
planned to take on a cruise to
the South Seas aboard his adven-
ture ship Carma, on which he
was slain the night of last
December 5.
Guys Accuser
It was she who told the court
at preliminary hearing that
she had seen a mans face
framed in the portfolio a few
minutes before the slayer shot
rang out across the waters of
the bay where the Carma was
anchored. She said then:
"That face was this defen-
dant's."
Stin another is Mary Parks,
of Boston, wife of an Arapahoe
Indian. She, too, is alleged to
have seen Guys face at the
portfolio.
The fourth witness is blonde
Sylvia Andrews, keeper of a
sandwich stand in Glendale.
Night Before, She Says
According to the State, Miss
Andrews sold Guy a cup of
coffee the night of the killing
and he told her he had been to
Glendale Airport, thus supporting
one of the States theories that
he flew down to Long Beach.
Out of court, however, Miss
Andrews insisted she had not
seen Guy the night of the MUIR
der, but, rather, the night be-
fore.
Guy today was expected to
prompt his attorney in the sharp
cross-examination of Mrs. Wan
derwell after the State finishes
questioning her.

P. S. DUPONT ON
STATE FINANCES
Praises Present System of
Providing Automatic Funds
For Schools, Roads
DANGER IN PROPOSALS

Pierre S. DUPONT, State Tax
Commissioner, Friday, declared
that to make any change in the
highway and educational depart
ments of Delaware, which he feels
are at present in an ideal condition,
would be detrimental to the best
interests of all residents Of the
State Reasons for his opposition
to bills pending before the State
Legislature which would take away
from the two departments "ear
marked" funds through which they
operate, were set forth by Mr.. du-
Pont. The bills provide that a gen
eral fund be created from all taxes
collected by the State. The Legis-
lature would apportion biennial ap-
preparations to the departments
from this fund All automobile
registration and license fees and
the gasoline taxes go exclusively to
the Highway Department under
the present system and the Board
of Education derives its revenue
from the corporation franchise tax
es. Mr.. DUPONT recently wrote to
Governor c. Douglass Buck con-
cerning his views upon State fl
nances. Conditions are in my
opinion, ideal as they now exist, z"
he said. 81 should not like to see
our present system change" He
said that the development of the
highway system would not have
taken place had the Highway De-
partment depended upon certain BIZ
ennial appropriations for support.
To-day it would be disastrous to a
$40, 900 investment in the State
highways if they were abandoned
to such uncertainty" he said. THE
allotment of the registration fees
and gasoline tax to the highway
system is most appropriate those
who pay the tax receive the bene-
fit" Mr. DUPONT said Delaware is
fortunate in having the best de-
veloped highway system among the
States but is even more so in hav-
ing a ser-sustaining system. He
suggested it would be advisable to
extend the State system to include
all highways now maintained by
counties when sufficient revenue to
carry this additional load is avail
able

of Town Employees at Lewes

VI tO"h A1ihtRAogNo az A@ChNo
Citizens of Lewes are rejoicing
in a lowered tax rate of two mills
on real estate, buildings and i'm
provements for the year 1888 An
nouncement of the reduced rate
was made following a special meet
ing of the board of town commits
sioners called by Mayor U. w
Hooker. The reduction represents
one-fifth of the. former rate of ten
mills. capitalization will also be
lowered one-fifth. Public land re-
mains the same as formerly, but
buildings thereon come under the
reduced rate. A step toward re-
ducing the town expenses was taxi
en- last week by the board when all
employees of the board of commits
sioners as well as those employed
by the board of public works, were
notified of ten per cent cut in
wages. The public works employ
es were the first to receive the
wage cut. The books of the board
of public works are now being aud

Arrested in State; Taken to Md.

Capt" James Johnson, who
openly processes to be high

ST 900 bail on a charge of passing
a worthless check, preferred by
Mrs. Virginia OFT, of Elkton, a
taxicab operator, who says she was
engaged by Johnson to take him on
a tour Of Eastern Shore and Della
ware towns during the week. Mrs
OFT says that during the tour John
son stopped at bank in Clayton,
Del, and later displayed a pass
book purporting to show a deposit
of a $4,000 check. She said he
gave her a check for the $1OO on
the Clayton bank at KennedyvilIe,
Nd, for the taxicab service, so she
proceeded to learn whether the
check was good. She said she
found that it was not and at once
caused the arrest of johnson. John
son was arrested in Delaware, but
waived extradition and was taken
to the county jail at Chestertown
for a hearing because the check to
Mrs. OFT was drawn at Kennedy
vile. Sheriff John T. Vickers took

The public works program soon to be

Of the jobs, II not all. will come through

The general hope Of the administra-
ton Is that industry and business gen.
orally will be quickened, needing more
help The Spring already has brought
some private Unemployment.
The industrial control legislation to
be incorporated in the public works
bill is particularly designed to stimulate
new jobs by limiting working time, in
creasing purchasing power Of wage and
salary earners and thus increasing con-
sumption, which In turn creates more
jobs.
