N d. D. WANTS CAMP SITE
Also Woald Like To Have An Outdoor
Rifle Ranfe

4
Whether anything will be dpne to har
the Legislature appropriate sum 0
money for The establishing ia this stat,
OF permanent site for the regular sum
rner eucampments OF the State militia
and also the building of q state rife
range, is net known, but the matter is
being discussed and those interested in
the welfare Of the State guard are very
much in favor Of having something done
! IN this matter. That a camp site and
II rifle range owned by tie State have
become almost absolute necessities is not
denied, but Whether the General Assem-
bly, feels able at this time to appropriate
The necessary money for them is another
matter.
1n his annual report Adiutant General
Pusey Wickersham stated that it was
a matter Of regret that such sites had not
been established and further stated that
1T was now possible to have permanent
.de range established this year. Every
citizen Of tile State takes an interest in
the militia and desires to baye this branch
Il the country's military SIS well equipped,
drilled and as efficient in every respect as
that of any other state. However. to be
able to keep apace With the Nation the
necessary facilities have. to be provided
and the Delaware National Guard cannot
advance much further than its present
very efficient condition unless something
ftrther is done for its benefit than has
been done in the past.
In the use OF the rifle Delaware's guards |
men do wonderfully well when the con-
tiitions under which they work are con-
sidered. They have no open air range
AMI have found it necessary to go to /
another state to get out door practice.
Yet respite these drawbacks they have
gone to Sea Girt and made remarkable
records, beating out the teams from much
larger states where facilities are much
better and where they have "a vastly
larger number of men to select their team
frunl. The Delaware ri1emeR are i'm
proving all the time, even in their work
on the indoor rauge at the armory, and
if they had proper range outside it is
safe to predict they wonid not be far
behind the leaders at the nhiioisl to1rn-
+
When it comes TO drilling and regular
camp life Delaware's guardsmen cannot
be surpassed by any other similsr orgaui-
za'iJn and in a fair trial With the regular
army men they compare so asorably
that they have been praised publicly by /
the regular army officers themselves.
This has been brought about by their ]
persistent efforts as Individual aen and
as an organization, and by CO. operating
sEe with another, the privates taking as !
much interest in their organization as the
Ulcers. Constantly drilling in tie armory
lnd attending strictly to duty at ihe short
eneampments llss made the 9
members of the guard really trained i
0idiers ready at any time to take the 4
ield, there to prove that DelaFare can .
nd does turn ont the best militia OF any q
tate in the country. Il

PRESENT CANAL ROUTE
The Commission FayOrs Buying the
Chesapeake & Delaware


A Washington special to the Baltimore
Nd, Ne,Os says
! ssThe report Of the board, OF whicl
General Felix Angus is chairman, created
by Congress to consider routes for cana
conleeting the Chesapeake and Delaware
Bays, will report in favor Of the purchase
of the present canal At maximum price
Of $2,5l4,0 500. Tie report is now in the
hands OF Secretary OF War Taft, aud viii
be made public officially Monday. prior
to It's being sent 10 Congress.
'sThe estimate Of the commission Of Il e
cost of 30 foot canal on the old ronte is
$40, 1921 ,323 20.
Tie commission recommends the
early, IL not immediate pi rehase Of tie
property.
As the resolution was narrowed to
consideration OF tile present can i route
and the Sassafras route, it was feregone
conclusion that the former would be
fayorably reported npon. o. iginaly tile
resolution also included the lower, or
Choptank route, Which had been locked
upon with favor by the foreign shipping
interests Of Baltimore, as affording slip
canal in straight Ii iie to the ocean and
placing foreign ports in closer touch with
Baltimore than any other route.
The reason for ignoring the Ssssafras
rafo bt fI,o :, al - I,;,.i
cost Of canal and also the fact that the
present canal is defended on the Delaware
side by forliications. which would have
to be moved, including Fort Delaware, to
the Delaware side OF Sassafras Canal.
'The details of tile commissions report
follow closely the lines OF the report in
1894 Of the Craighill Board appointed for
the same purpose.
THE maximum purchase price fixed
by the commission is equal to about the
par value Of the stock of the canal COM
pany, and includes the franchises.
The total cost OF the canal was ST.
250,000, Of which one-fifth was paid by
the United States, 100000 by the State !
of Pennsylvania, $4,000 by the State of
Maryland and $4,000 by the State Of |
Delaware, the remainder being contri-
buted by the citizens Of the three States.
The canal is 13s miles long, and extends
between Back River and Delaware City.
Secretary Taft will give out the ex-
tracts prepared at the instance OF General
Agnus for the Monday morning news
papers. The propriety Of making the re.
port public before it reaches Congress is
IT'LL questioned in some quarters, but it
$ admitted that perhaps Mr.. Taft has
more authority in the premises than Mr..
Loeb.
1T is admitted by the friends of the
quite recommended by the commission
hat there is no hope for favorable action
i this session Of Congress"
According to a Washington dispI ch

HELD ON $4,000 BONDS

The receivers of the National Wire
Corporation, Messrs. H. Stuart Hotch-
kiss and Frederick B. Farnsworth, have
sent out notices to the creditors Of the
company of their intention to apply to
the superior court for the acceptance of
their reports, the winding UP of their
trust and an order to turn over the as
sets to the trustee In bankruptcy. The
hearing will take place August the 14th
at 10 o'clock.
The notice further states that the eff
feet Of such orders, if granted by the
court, will be to terminate the receiv-
ership in the state courts and trans
fer the entire administration of the
estate to the United States bankruptcy
court.
1t is possible that at or before this
session of the court the injunction ask
ed fo@Sby a number Of creditors to re-
strain Messrs. Hotchkiss and Farms
worth from turning over the assets to
the bankruptcy trustees will be argued.
At a special session held before Judge
shumway, week ago, the injunction
was asked, but because notice had not
been sent out to all interested, or evil
dence to that effect was wanting, the
case was held up until notice could
be issued, With the tendency Of this
issue Of the case, it is undoubted that
the asked for order Of the receivers
will be opposed. The creditors who
seek the injunction are of the opinion
that their individuals would be ma
terially reduced if the assets were
transferred to the bankruptcy court
now.
