Crime Wave, as Killers of .
Physician's Son
Armed patrols are scouring Sharon
Hill. nnd other parts of Delaware
county nnd guarding every road in the
search for the three negroes who mur
dered John B. Dalton there yesterday.
Twenty-two former service men,
nrmed and sworn in as deputes, are
co-operating with the state police npd

Hill.'
Dalton, who was twenty-two years

at Sharon Hill last night and subscribed
$1000 of the fund; Burgess James F.
Farrcll subscribed $1000 and the town

Climax of Crimes
The murder of young Dalton Is the
climax of n scries of crimes thought
to have been committed by tho same
band. Two weeks ago Harry Avcrlch,
a storekeeper, was held up and shot
nnd the three bandits turned on a pur
suing posse nnd chased them home.
Other robberies have been numerous.
In each case three, negroes figured and
many residents sny they will be able
to identify the criminals if caught.
The search today took on tho form
of n house-to-house search of negro
settlements in pnd around Sharon Hill.
The negro districts in Philadelphia and
Chester also nre being searched.
All Delaware county Is" aroused by
tho latest outrage of the bandits, nnd
threats that no trinl will be necessary if
Jhe men nre caught nre freely made.
Sharon Hill residents in particular
arc highly incensed. That town has
been in the grip of n reign of terror for
several weeks. The lone patrolmnn bus.
been utterly unable' to compete 'with the
crlme'wavc.. ' " ' t
To young Dalton's determination to
JrtWsWSttffonuiitanAde to job'hjnrhls

volver and, shot twice nt the hold-up
men before going down with n shot
through .his'hcart.a
Put Up Desperate Fight

recently to use in case of a hold-up.
Signs around the lonely upot on Hook
rood outside tho Academy of the,. Holy
Child, where the body wns found, show
that he put up a desperate fight.
Mrs. Dalton, his mother, followed
his father to the scene when he wns
summoned to treat tho murdered man.
Both fainted when they discovered that
it was their son.
The two men who were held" up by the
negroes n short time before the Dalton
murder, were among thoso to join the
volunteer posBes.

AT HATBORO HOME
STATE GETS READY
FOR WOMEN'S VOTE
ON NOVEMBER 2
Attorney General Schaffer Urges
County Commissioners to
Prepare' Needed Blanks
SPR0UL IS TOLD VERMONT
MAY RATIFY IN AUGUST
Quick Action Would Be Neces
sary in Pennsylvania to Com
plete Registration
Harrlsburg, July 8. Governor Sproul
received word yesterday from Re
publican lenders in Vermont that tho
Legislature of that state would be
called in extra session the first week
in August to act on rnUficatlon of the
federal suffrage amendment. '
Acting upon thnt information. Wll-1
Ham I. Schaffer, nttorney general, last
night urged county commissioners of
Pennsylvania to havo prepared the
necessary registration books and other
blanks to enable them speedily to assess
nnd register the women of the stato who
may become voters at the November
presidential election. ,
Alertness W the part of 'county of
flclnls is needed to prevent a situation
in Pennsylvania that will be difficult to
handle nnd might deprive women of
their vote.
The constitution provides that one of
the qualifications for voting is that a
state or county tax must be paid at
least one month before the election, and
that the elector shall havo been nsscssed
nt least two months before the election.
Only the women owning property are on
the Pennsylvania assessment lists, and
tho great mass would only have three
weeks In which to be assessed to meet
tho requirements of nn assessment two
months prior to tho idate of election.
AttoVncy General Schaffer has said
that Pennsylvania women will be en
titled to vote without any enabling laws
through a special session of the Legis
lature, provided they aro assessed In
time to pay the tax and are registered
in time In all cities where, personal reg
istration Is required. Women property
owners in boroughs and townships can
vote nt nny election as soon ns the
federal amendment is ratified by an
other state, but the great majority in
cities and the country districts must go
through the formality of the election
laws.

newspaper office this morning, expects
to pilot n number of visiting newspaper
representatives about tho home and
haunts of his early boyhood at Jock
sonburg. near Mlddletown. O. The trip

It Is expected that when Franklin

phases of the campaign may be dis
cussed, especially plans for the official

Dayton citizens are apprehensive that
nn effort may be made to have the noti

Pays Tribute to Opponent'
The governor last night made his sec
ond public nddress since his nomina
tion nt the Dayton Country Club at a
dinner for the Ohio Golf Association.
Governor Cox Is an enthusiastic golfer
and his address was chiefly an intimate
tnlk with the members of the merits of
this outdoor sport. He also spoke in
cordial terms of his Republican oppo
nent. Senator Harding, who also Is n
devotee of the gome." He declared that,
regardless of the results of the election,
he and Senator Harding would remain
the same splendid friends as in the past.
The governor's Interest in golf wns
revealed when Leo Warren James, pros
ident of the Dayton Chamber of Com
merce, related nn incident thnt occurred
on Snturdnv before the nomination wns
made at San Francisco. Mr. James
said he and the governor were leaving

Ohio Dry's Bitter
Dry leaders in Ohio are bitter agninst
the governor. Their representatives,
they sny, went to him nt the last scs
slon of the Legislature nnd asked his
assistance in passing a law to pUt Into
effect the stnto prohibition amendment
adopted in 'he election of 1018, nnd his
reply was: "My mother taught mo never
to enrry n polecat in mv pocket."
In connection with that stasd of the
governor's, however, drys point to post
ers placed in saloons nil over the state in
the campaign of 1010 declaring, "Willis
Is for prohibition ; Cox is for license."
Tho Willis referred to is Frank B.
Willis, who defeated Cox for governor
in 1014 and sought re-election without
success,
Drys here nUo point to speeches
made by Cox in his campaigns. In which
he declared that the license lnw is the
best means he knows to control the
liquor trnffic.
Tho Legislature just past was "dry"
and Republican, and It was engaged
for months in a bitter controversy over
liquor legislation with Governor Cox.
When the Assembly met Governor Cox
recommended legislation to carry out
tho state-wide prohibition nmendment.
Later, it is charged, he refused to lend
his ntd, nnd it is nssprted he took that
stand in compliance with demands
made upon him by the liquor interests,
who, it also has been alleged, helped to
flnnhce nls campaigns through the
Home Rule Association and other or
ganizations. Rcpentedly Republican and Demo
cratic drys appealed to Cox. it in said,
but without avail. Prohibition nets
Were made pnity measures by the
Democrats, nnd in caucus they voted
against the emergency clauses, which
Cox had declared were not necessary,
ns nn emergency, in his opinion,
existed.
It was said yesterday that Governor
Cox contemplates conducting his cam
paign chiefly from Columbus, where he
will necebsnrily have to be much of the
time in connection with his duties as
governor. Ills Dayton friends, how
ever, expect his homo citj will be ono of
the principal nerve centers In the cam
paign and that no small part of his
campaign work will bo conducted from
his newspaper office.
