Five Democrats.
STORIES OF ADVENTURE
FROM EUROPEAN WAR ZONE
DOVEIt, Del., Sept. 2S. The ctlRlblllty
f six members of Iho General Assembly,
Including tho Speaker of the House,
Chauncoy P. Holcomb, to sit during the
special session called to act upon a ro
Tlscd codo and executive appointments,
was 4Uestloncd today when tho legisla
tors assembled at noon.
The members who may bo ousted In ad
dition to Speaker Holcomb, who Is secre
tary to United States Senator Saulsbury,
re Dr. T. O. Cooper, of Wilmington, Al
bert I. Swan, Delaware City; Charles J.
Stoeckel, of Sussex County, and Znchary
T. Harris, of New Castlo County. They
are Democrats. Charles II, McDonald, of
Kow Castlo County, Is another. He Is a
Republican.
If tho members aro ousted tho Re
publicans will tie In tho Senate, whllo
there will bo 18 Democrats and 15 Re
publicans In the House. Tho charges de
claring their Ineligibility wcro prepared
In a concurrent resolution offered by Rep
resentative Grantland, of Wilmington.
The paper requests tho Attorney General
to glvo an opinion.
Doctor Cooper was appointed Inspector
of DrugB ahd Chemicals, attached to the
Philadelphia Custom House. Ho an
nounced this morning that ho had re
signed. Mr. Swan was appointed post
master at Delaware City bV President
Wilson. Theso appointments were made
since tho last session of tho Legislature.
Mr. Holcomb Is secretary of tho Senato
Committee on Coast and Insular Survey
In Washington. In his defense Speaker
Holcomb asserted the Supreme Court
hud given an opinion that secretaries of
Scnnto committees should not bo regard
ed us Federal appointees.
The charge against Representative Mc
Donald is that he has moved from tho
district he represented In 1913. Mr. Mc
Donald says there Is no statutory law
calling for his withdrawal' from this ses
sion. Governor Miller, In his message, tersely
told the object of tho extraordinary ses
sion and requested the legislators not to
be dilatory In considering the codo.
Three new laws are proposed. The first
calls for a uniform fisheries bill so that
Delaware laws may conform with New
Jersey's over ,flshlng In the Delaware
River and bny. Another concerns par
tition of estates.
A light probably will centre over an
act calling for direct election of Senators.
A the law Is now framed It proposes
that tho Governor call a special election
If a vacancy occurs. This measure Is
favored by Democrats, and Republicans
are supporting a proposition to make It
optional with the Governor to order a
spcclnl election or make temporary ap
pointments. A new law written Into the codo re
quires speclalelectlon of Representative
and Senators If a vacancy occurs within
s. month of adjournment.

that any sans person can see."
A visitor to the American Hospital at
Neullly sends this account of tlio 'furcos!
"Splendid fellows tho Turcos nrc, most
of them, with their whlto teeth and fiery,
feverish Kastcrn eyes. They amoko In
cessantly, some of them 80 cigarettes a
day. But English cigarettes arc not fiery
enough for their palate. Fortunately! I
had brought with me a number of Eng
lish magazines, and one of them, the
most profuxoly Illustrated, t left for the
Turcos' delight. 'They love pictures,'
said the nurse, 'and will He looking at
them for hours at a time.'
"Ono of thciri, a magnificent fellow,
with the torso of Hercules, Is the Joy of
the ward. He has a smllo that will not
come off. He was not ho cheerful when
ho came In, for It had been found neces
sary) to remove one of hii front teeth,
which had been split In a fierce hand-to-hand
oncountcr. Our Turco mourned tho
loss till he was nssured that ho would
be given a gold one a nice, yellow, shin
ing gold one In Its place. Since '(hen ho
has not ceased to smile."
An English Hussar, wounded at Com
plegne, showed a correspondent tho bullet
that had shattered Ills thigh an ugly
mlsMIc, with nil the appcaranco of an ex
plosive bullet, Tho point wob bored, and
the load behind had spread out and flat
tened. He got tho man who fired !t. Ho
had been through all the fighting, ,from
Mons to Complegne. They had seldom
had more than a couplo of horn's' consoc
utlvc sleep. "We slept with our arms
through our horses' bridles. Rut It's a
grand life," he said, with gusto, "and I
want to be back at It."
He had only contempt for tho Uhlans.
"Wo camo upon a dozen of them one day
In a village. Wo were seven, but as soon

Ho estimates that more than took them all." A paekot of English
cigarettes the first ho had smoked for a
month were a welcomo boon. Ho lay
back, and took his first Inhalation with
an Infinite satisfaction. English soldiers
teem to find tho French tobacco too
harsh and strong. Newspapers, too, are
always welcome, for In modern warfare
It Is the looker-on who sees most of the
great game.
A striking Incident occurred ot the
conclusion of High Mass In St. Patrick's
Church yesterday when the vast congre
gation was astounded to hear the great
organ p'ciil out the tune, "It's a Long,
Long Way to Tlpporary." St. Patrick's
Is tho largest Irish Catholic congregation
In Canada, and thousands of Its members
are In the contingent of 3S.0M Canadian
soldiers how on their way across the
Atlantic to the war.
As the first notes of the now famous
tune were heard tlio whole congregation
stood still, amazed by the unusual non-
church music. The feeling of surprise
was followed Instantly by smiles and
every evidence of enthusiasm ns the whole
congregation fell Into step, and many left
the edifice singing the song.
An exciting story of the war Is printed
todav bv the Petit Parlslen. It concerns
the adventures of Menard Macgraly, a
private In tho Scottish Highlanders, who
whs captured by the Germans near
Noyon.
Eluding his captors, Macgraly plunged
Into the Olso River whllo the German
soldiers shot at him. Although the but
Ms passed all around him. the Scot dlyed
far beneath the surface. When ho bobbed
to tho surface again the German soldiers,
who were sunning along the banks of the
river, opened another fusltlado with rifles
and magazine pistols.
Macgraly again dived and swam as long
as he could under water. Again ho had
to face the volleys when ho rose to the
surface, the bullets spattering the water
over his face.
After being In the water five hours nnd
swimming many miles, Macgratoy finally
found the French llncs and Joined Ills
regiment. Except for a few scratches,
caused liv striking obstructions In diving,
Mm voniiirnnnmn Scotchman was un
harmed
COO shots wcro fired at him.
British warriors have a new song,
It Is:

A letter written by an English private
says:
"J see you are all excited about getting
us plenty of socks, but Heaven only
knows when we shall get a chance to
wear them. I haven't been out of my
boots for a fortnight. ... It would be
much more to the point If you would
send us men to glvo the Germans 'socks.'
'Merry and Bright' Is still our motto.
. . . Don't get downhearted, no matter
what you hear at home. Some of these
days things will come all right. Keep
your eyes wldo open and you will have a
big surprise sooner than you think.
We're all right, and the Germans will
find that out sooner than you at home.

$200
Burglars who broke into the homes of
Joseph Wohl, at- 2318 North Nineteenth
street, overlooked $200 worth of Jewelry In
bureau drawers they ransacked. They
were frightened off, leaving the family
silverware they had packed up.
Mr. and Mrs. Wohl returned to their
home after an absence of a few hours and
found everything upset. The silverware
had been wrapped In a tablecloth nnd left
In a rear shed. Contents of bureaus In
the upper floors were scattered about, and
the Jewelry was found thrown Into a cor
ner with some clothing.

PARIS, Sept. 29.
A Red Cross nnrse who hns been nt
Rliclms since the first shells fell on
September 2 says the Gormans behaved
In the most correct manner on their
entry Into the place on September 4,
when nolther civil nor military authori
ties remained In tho town. Many of tho
ofTlcers and men believed they were only
16 miles from Paris.
"One day," says this nurse, "a young
ofllccr, whose uniform was tattered and
extremely dirty, asked mo politely In tho

receive some wounded In my hospital.

The royal significance
of the Pianola
Years ago the ability to play the harp was used as
a method of distinguishing the freed-man from the slave.
A harp was a possession which a slave could not afford
and the ability to play it was an art that none but nobility
had time and opportunity to acquire. All royalty played
the harp.
Today, kings, princes and all other Grades of mv.,li
45& use the Pianola. It is the standard court instrument of
all Europe.
