IA parity OF hunters which went down
along the Virginia coast ON Friday
Governor Hum was TO have gone, but
official business prevented. Upon ar
irving at Chincoteague, the Delawar-
cams found the weather extremely cold
and the bay a sea OF foating ice. There
was no game anywhere on the island.
Believing that they would have better
luck farrhcr south. the party went TO
Assateagiie. sixteen miles below. Here
similar weather conditions were ex-
perienced. Then They determined 10
return home, and. engaging a riverman
to row them across the eight-mile strip
of water between the islands, they
started on what proved tlhe most peril
Gus voyage of their lives The floating
ice iammed their boat. threatening at
every minute to crush the craft and
send its occupants to watery graves. At
times passage had to be cut In the ice.
Finally the Chincoteague shore was
reached In safety but the men were
very much exhausted.
From there they made their way
across the mainland to the eastern
shore Of the island, from which part
they again embarked I'M small boat for
a second trip across the bay TO the Vir-
ginia shore proper Although accom-
panied by many hardships and much
danger, the trip was not as perilous
as the one from Assateague. Arriving
on the Virginia shore The Delawareans
found railroad travel halted on ac-
count OF heavy snow but. being deter
mined to get home. they began a seven
teen-mile walk 10 Franklin City which
lplace they reached yesterday morning

clare THAT they do NOT want any more

Foul OdOr Causes the Judi
Ciary Bad Headaches
WORK TO COST ABOUT $500
Over $4,000 Adams Tax Money Or
dered Refunded by The
Levy Court

After the reading of the minutes and
the regular opening OF the Levy Court
dhis morning, routine business was
dispensed with, in order that Judge w.
g. Spruance might make q statement
regarding the ventilation OF the coun-
nv courtroom. Judge Spruance spoke,
in part, as follows:
Il come before you this morning
about the matter of ventilation i'm the
court room. Il is no trouble TO venti-
late any place in warm weather. but as
near all of our sittings are In cold
weather, and the court room is crowd
ed, the air in It gets very fohl.
"Ihe room really is too big, and
should be divided in two. IL is large.
and we cannot keep people out of it. I
was in London on visit, and the court
rooms there are small. not holding over
thirty-hve people The court rooms are
not half as large as ours. They have a
little gallery with iron grill work to
look through. It is impossible to ex-
clude people from the court room.
There area great many whocometo the
court because It is cold, or because IL
Is hot outside Now. a man sitting in
the court room all day will find him
self with a headache. from the foul air,
1t occurred TO me that the Levy Court
would be glad to remedy the trouble.
IF someone would come and look at
the building and give an opinion, the
court could get some idea Of what is
needed"
Judge Spruance here informed the
court that ]. George Klemm, Jr., con-
sulting engineer. had made partial
examination of the building He was
present, and said he had looked over
the building. and that in a rough esti-
mate it would cost $500 to ventilate the
court room and about $500 for the re-
mainder of the work. He explained that
mis- plans would be electrically driven
fans. which could be shut off when
court was not in session. The court
took no action ON the matter.
WILL REFUND ADAMS TAX.
AS the rural collectors Of the Adams
tax have long since turned their
money over 10 the court. the court to-
day ordered the tax refunded The list
of the amounts paid has been carefully
made out and 20. KID" by the comp
troller It was read to the court this
morning.
A warrant was drawn for s3,2S5.71 in
favor Of Charles NJ. Curtis, as attor-
ney for the DuPonts. This amount was
paid in by them under the Adams law
Warden Meserve and the trustees Of
the workhouse presented a statement
.of the needs of the workhouse for the
coming year. The estimate is based on
200 prisoners at 40 cents a day, amount
ing to s29, 200.
