SALOONS TO STOP SIDE ATTRACTIONS BY COURT ORDER Delaware Judge's Decision Hailed as Victory by Temperance Party in That State. WILMINGTON, Del.. Oct. 14.-In order that all questions In reference to tho liquor laws of the State might bo made Plain, Chief Justice James Ponnewlll handed down today nn opinion which is tho most radical one on the subject In the history of the Delaware courts. It defines a saloon as . place to obtain liquor only, and thore must be no effort of any kind made to Induce people to pationke tho place. It is regarded as a f,.,IYrt vlctory fur tho temp-sranco people. vwuie the liquor dealers appear to re gard It as a rather strict Interpretation ot the law, tncy nro glad that the court has outlined what constitutes a viola tion of the law. Chief Justice Pcnnewlll holds that the portion of tin- law forbidding the use of o screen to obstruct the vlow of a bar must lio observed and there must be a plain Instead of a partial view of the bar. ,irinleimust,be no Private rooms for drinking and no private or secret en trances, as such entrances can only be Intended to violate the law or aro for tha use of persons who are ashamed to enter 1 -""4t v(icl, Kf i'"0i"" ln,oxcated man coming out fthat h n..m,ly not ,esal Idence Ulat he not limine u.hor, v. . -i .

H.-Declarlng that Governor Tener had attempted to throt tle legislation relative to cold storage, Mrs. J, s. Flannery caused a sensatton In tho convention of ilm Srnfi FAdorn. tlon of Pennsylvania Women today. According to tho statement of Mrs. Flannery, Govcrnoi Tener had tried tu havo Kepresentntlve W. II. Wilson, qf Philadelphia, author of the cold storage bill, withdraw the bill after Mr. Wilson had been offered JGO.OOO to Increase the tlmo limit for tho storage of eggs. Mrs. Flannery was suffering from a cold and her secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth Q. Fotherglll, lead tho address. She said that Representative Wilson, nlithor of tho bill that eggs bo kept In cold storago not moro than eight months, wns offered 150,000 by a Chicago packer to Increase the tlmo limit on tho storage from eight to 12 months. She said Governor Tener tnen sent for Mr. Wilson and asked him to wwiuraw the bill. According to tho speaker Mr. Wilson was willing to withdraw the bill, but sam it no am withdraw It he would tell who had attempted fo bribe him on tho floor of tho Legislature. Subsequently the Wilson bill becamo a law. It ls feared thut the federation may bo rent nsunder on the matter of woman suffrage. From nil appearances the suf fragist memhcis have their plans com plete to adopt n suffrage resolution at tho meeting tomorrow. Tho "antls" nro now lining up, and declaro that If the suffragists carry out their program they will secede. Mr. Horace Brock sounded the battle cry of tho "anils" yesterday, when she said that plans had been laid for a new organization, but that no second confer ence had been held because antl-suffra-glsts were waiting for the federation to act. Tho test will come tomorrow, when a resolution indorsing suffrage for women will be presented. SUFFRAGE FIGHT "LONG AND BITTER.." Mrs. Franklin P. lams, a member of the board of directors of the State Fed eration, was emphatic In her assertion that the suffrage resolution had a place In tho convention. "Mrs. Brock was out of order In her threat of disruption this morning," said Mrs. lams. "Every committee has a right to bo heard, and Mrs. Brock only voices a very small mlnnrltv nt th. ir,i. cratlon when sho alleges a plan on the part of clubwomen to scccdo if suffrage Is Indorsed. "The fight Is bound to bo a long and bitter one, ' she continued. "Tho antis are now gathering ammunition and will ....., yUIK nara. Aitnougn a mem ber of the board of directors, I am also a suffragist and hope to see tho federa tion indorse the suffrage movement In this State. Anent Mrs. George W. Coblentz's report W convention yestcrdny that suffrage was not Indorsed unanimously at Chicago last year, as tho records of tho national com m tteo show, Mrs. J. S. Miller and several other suffragists expressed themselves as surprised that such a report wns made. in viow or the minutes of tho Chicago biennial. Mrs. Coblentz virtually reiter ated tho alleged "railroading" charge of the antls. "What will help the country schools most Is for the country women to havo the vote. If wo can't have the schools and clubs In tho social centres, wo can at least have the polls" said Mrs. Jean Kane Foulke, of West Chester, member of the Stale Board of Agriculture, speak ing on "Rural Welfare." Her address wns a plea for the clubwomen to do somothlng to relieve the feeling of animosity of the country women toward the city women and tho feling of tho city women 'that they are better than the country women.' Conditions In the country schools were decried by Mrs. Foulko. Sho said that to remedy these conditions the women needed the assistance of tho men and that there should bo women on the school board. In her report ns chairman of the Civic Committee of the State Federation, Mrs. Henry C.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. H. With con tracts placed recently for thousands of new cars of the "stepless type," big trolley managers of the country admitted before the engineering section of the Street Railway Association today that they have lost out in a race with fashion. The low-entrance car, a single step from the crossing, was designed orig inally to meet the contention raised by women of all ages, whose tight skirts, some little better than bands about their ankles, made it exceedingly dllllcult to reach high steps and also caused delays which In a big city amounted to many hours' loss of time dally. Yet, Just as the trolley lines of tha land are preparing to put In service a car whose floor Is so low that the worst hobbled woman a motorman ever provided first aid for can hop aboard, fashion adds a yard or so to skirt bottoms and threat ens to go further, and the newest Brill stepless car. built In Philadelphia, ls nom. convertible and constructed of stel and can't be done over to meet the styles. Traffic managers today praised a new "safety first" lelnforcement in the guisa of a fog penetrating Incandescent head light with a parabolic reflector of glass colored to extract the blue and vlolst rays. The lamp enables a motorman to see light-colored objects on the track, at a dlstanoe ot 400 yards.

He used his ability to good effect today when arrested by Constable John JlcCarty, and as the result Bruner is somewhere In the wilds of Jersey, while JlnCarty has nothing but tho warrant bearing his name. Bruner was arrested for annoying a girl acquaintance, and, although he pro tested his innocence, readly agreed to ac company McCarty to the olllco of Magis trate Emely. But Bruner was fastidious regarding diess, and. alter surveying himself. In tho mirror, asked that he be permitted to fix himself up before sur rendering to the law. The constable sat on a step while Bruner went upstnlrs to don his new fall suit. After waiting about two hours, McCarty called to Bruner, but thcio was no reply. The constable wunt upstairs. There was no traco of the prisoner. Tho condition of the rouin showed Bruner had made what the police term "n clean getaway." According to a neighbor, Bruner lighted a cigarette calmly and then, after lowering himself on a rope from a second-story window, dropped gracefully to tho ground. Then he dusted off his trousers and shoes and sauntered In tho direction of an ap proaching trolley car. Magistrate Emely, on hearing of the prisoner's escape, told McCarty a few personal things over the telephone. The conversation was of such a nature that McCarty started Immediately in the direc tion of Camden where, it was learned, the prisoner was found.

"Walking," said Kelly, emphatically. Mrs. Nellie Dallas, widow of the dead man; James II. Caldwell, an assistant lire marshal, and Joseph E. Maloney. 2U North 60th street, all testified that Dallas staggered just before hla body shot over the edge of the platform. Secretary of National Asso ciation Opposes Practice and Urges Law Permitting Co-operation in the Trade. "Indiscriminate price cutting Is detri mental to tho consumer and stationers of the whole country, and steps must be taken to obtain tho enactment by Con gress of laws that will enable manufac turers to co-operate with dealers In main taining legitimate prices," declared Na tional Secietary Mortimer W. Byers, at the third session of the tenth annual convention of tho National Association of Stationers and Manufacturers in tho Bellovue-Stratford today. Mr. Dyers said there wore times when reductions In ptlces were Justlllnblc, but he objected to the wild reduction of prices by some dealers solely for adver tising purposes. "At present tho anti-trust laws," Mr. Byers said, "prevent tho co-opuratlon be tween manufacturers and dealer, but wo hope, by working with the Chamber of Commerce of the I'nlted States, to have Congress make this co-opeiation possible. It will svuel be, as past ex periences have shown, of grt-ut bouellt to alt concerned." In discussing the effects of the Euro pean war on stationers' stipplips, tlu- as sociation agreed that there should be no Increaso for prices chaiged fur Impoitcd goods until the present supplies have been exhausted and the pi Ices of ma terals Increase to them.

After 60 eais in the business "Uncle" Gcorgo knows every body. When accused of getting old "Uncle" Georgo grinned u big broad grin and said: "The grip ls still there." Flunk I. Watci-rnan, of tho L.

The Norwegian steam ships Nicholas Cunco nnd Aquilln, from New York for similar ports, wore also slz'tl The former, which Is well known here, where she engaged In the fruit trade, curried Hour mid cereals nnd tho littler had a cargo of oil.
