KENT COUNTY GRAND JURY REPORT.

Dover, Nov. 1l.-ln tie Court of
Oyer and Terminer yesterday the
grand jury made the following report.
To the Honorable Judges The grand
Jury of Kent county submit their final pre-
sentiment for the April and October terms of
the Rent county court. During our term OF
service, commencing April, 1i03, We have
had presented for our consideration 40 bills
of indictment. of these % were founu true
and eight were ignored. The evidence rro
tluced in many of the nases has proven
concluaiyely that the primary cause nf the
major portion of crimes committed is the
intemperate use OF intoxicanis and gam
bling. We would recommend that strenuous
measures te adopted to prevent The illegal
saio of intcxicants as now Carried on hy
hotels and urcg stores already iicalBed BY
this court, and that proper restrictions
shonld be iudiclousy enforced upon their
lawful sails. This, we believe, would min
iinize to great extent the number OF
crimes committed.
During his session We visited the county
prison and almshouse. We found the prison
| in good condition SO far MS sanitary con-
| ditions apply and tho prisoners well cared
| for, hut we earnestly protest against the
| present method of herding prisoners in toe
| county jail and maintaining them In idle
/ ness. During our visit 10 tie jail the prison.
/ ers, regardless OF the length Of their terms
4 Of imprisonment, i,npiored soE.e of tbs
members Of this grand jury to urge upon
| the county that thhY he removed from the
| county prison or put at some work to EN-
| ploy their time. Therefore, we recommend
| that the prisoners bs transferred to some
workhouse, and that the Legislature be asked
/ t1 provide State institution of that
/ character for all prisoners sentenced in the
courts. Under the present System of our
jail punishment is attained, but rsfornla,,
tion is an impossibility. The hardened
criminal and children, for committing petty
crimes. are heIded together In idleness at
an expense TO the taxpayer, when they should
be employed in some occupation at least
useful to them, If not of profit TO the public.
For this and other reasons we recommend
woskhouse for prisoners.
! Chief Justice Lore complimented the
grand jurors and discharged them. He
ordered that the jury's report be spread
upon the court records and that copies
be sent to the Kent County Levy Court,
the Board of Trustees of the Poor for
Kent county and the General Assembly.

The CUNNING SEASON.
The Quail and Rabbit Law Will be Out on
Saturday.

The Quail and Rabbit Law VII be out ON
Saturday.
The cunning season for quail and
rabbits will open on Saturday. A mam-
ber of the Delaware Game Protective
Association says there is more game
than for several seasons. He also says
tho association had not been given
much trouble by persons violating the
law. The greatest trouble was in
Worcester and Wicomico counties,
Maryland, where there were several
violations, but this is out of the So
ciety's territory. Trouble of this kind
is generally experienced along the
Delaware Maryland line by persons
from the latter State coming to this
State to shoot game before the opening
of the season.
A circular recently issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture calls attention to the interstate
commerce in birds and game. Extracts
of the circular follow:

son to deliver to any common carrier for

STILL OPPOSED TO ADDICKS.

Regulars Say the appointment of William

alton. SE 8
Regular Republicans are more bitter
than ever in their opposition to Ad-
dicks, as result of the appointment
of Mr.. Byrne, and, according to Chair
man Henry q. Thompson of the Regular
State Committee, if the appointment is
part Of move to coerce the Regular
Republican members of the Legislature
to support Addicks, it will fail. That
is the general impression among Regu-
lars and there is no sentiment among
them in favor of following behind Ad-
dicks. They propose to go along as
heretofore, independent of Addieks,
