RANCHER'S DAUGHTER
ATTACKED BY STRANGER

SAN BERNARDINO. March s1.---
While herding her fathers cattle on a
ranch in the east end of this valley to-
day. Miss Adele Gammel, the Is year
old daughter of II. Gammel, was at
tackled by man who dragged her from
the saddle of the rearing charger on
which she was mounted and assaulted
her. The girl succeeded in catching
her horse and rode to her fathers ranch
house. Soon a posse was organized.
The search is on tonight in the bottoms
of the Santa Ana river. Threats of a
lynching are being made.
Miss Gammel, who is an expert horse
woman, herded her fathers cattle occa-
sionally as pastime and knew every
Isolated spot on the ranch. Her par
ents are nearly crazed and have offered
a large reward for the capture of the
scoundrel.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. March 81.
More than 200 students of Stanford uni
versity will be barred from all univer-
sity work until April 16 because OF
their failure to comply with the vacci-
nation edict issued by the health COM
mittee. DIR. W. r. Snow, as chairman
of the health committee. has just COM
pIeted the list of the unvaccinated un-
dergraduates and finds that 10 score
and more failed to take the precautions
ordered by the authorities to combat a.
smallpox epidemic which threatened
the university a week ago when case
of the disease was discovered in Encina
hall.
1t is believed that this number OF
students. which appears extremely
large, will be reduced when doctors
failures to submit certificates ara rec
titled. This restricting of students from
attending classes at this late date in
the semester will be a serious matter to
the undergraduates. The students
have been given provisional notices Of
cancellation of registration

THE WARWICK road

Our correspondent last week
was on the right tack when he
insisted that the work OF re-
building what Is known as the
Warwick Road, being the road
from the western limit of the
Town of Middletown leading in a
southwestern direction to the
Maryland line near the Town OF
Warwick, should be begun as
early as possible. TO one who
has used it in the past three
years, it is unnecessary to speak
of its bad condition, and no one
better appreciates this than does
County Engineer Wilson. But
the Legislature of 1907 practi-
cally took the road outof bis care
and supervision. It will be re
membered that the Act providing
for the bonding of the County for
the Improvement of the highways
set aside $36, 500 for st. Georges
Hundred. Out of this was 70 be
built the Mt. Pleasant to Bbyd's
Corner Road, construction of
which was started last fall but
which is still incomplete. What
ever was left Of the apportion-
ment must be expended on the
Warwick road. The contract
price and the estimated cost of
supervision, &C., amount to $685.
851, leaving a balance of S12,649
to be expended on the Warwick
road. This win probably build
about II miles. The total length
of the road is just 3 miles, SO
there must be obtained at least
$12, 900 more or the road will be
only half built. This amount
can be secured in only one of two
ways. The Levy CourS may take
it from the unappropriated funds
or it may take it from $40, 600 ap-
preparation which the County
makes annually and to which the
State adds unequal amount for
good roads. If the proper effort
is put forth, this might be done.
BY proper effort we mean that q
delegation representing the tax
payers Of this vicinity should
meet with the Levy Courts and
urge not only prompt action in
building what is provided for but
to carry the road to the Maryland
line.
All of the above is on the
theory that the Warwick road
when built will be of the same
standard macadam as the roads
constructed under the Act of
1907. While we think that these
stone roads are too hard for this
section Of the country, we also
think that If any road south of
the Christiana River should be
stone, this is the road The
travel over it IS heavy, and until
we have some better sample of
gravel roads than the one from
Townsend to Pine Tree, favor
for this Warwick Road full
macadam road sixteen feet wide.

DELAWARE BRANCH NATIONAL CON-
E1MERs, LEAGUE

At ttheannual meeting OF the Delaware
Consumers League, held In the New
Century Club, Wilmington, March 8d,
1908, the following officers we're reelected: !:
Miss Emily P. Bissell, President Mrs. &.
g. yandegrift. First Yice-President Miss
Mary q. A. Mather, Second Vice-Presi-
dent; Miss NJ. II. Shearman, Executive
and Corresponding Secretary Miss Eliza-
beth r. Jackson, Recording Secretary !;
Miss Jennie NJ. Weaver, Treasurer.
During the meeting the president an
nounced that the league would work DUR
ing the coming year for the coalition Of
the Child LakDr law and the Compulsory
Education Law. The present Child Labor
law is not adequate and the league hopes
to present model one to the next Legis-
lature. The Compulsory Education law
needs to be amended so that it will pro-
vide for enforcement.
A vigorous campaign will be conducted
next fall and winter. 1t was suggested
that women's clubs throughout the State
form leagues in their social service COM
mittees and that they educate public
opinion to demand a perfect child labor
law.
The annual report OF the corresponding
and executive secretary was read, as iol-
lows:
The Consumers League OF Delaware
began its work year ago with 1874 menu
bers and five committees publication,
investigation, lectures and meetings, leg
islation and finance.
The publication committee had printed
and distributed 1000 Red Letter clock
calendars, borrowed from the Philadel-
phia branch 25O copies Of the Christmas
shopping story, "Gorman's Grocery !"
had reminders against late Christmas
shopping in the trolley cars, and had
printed 500 copies Of tine Delaware Child
Labor law, and 500 leaflets OF information
about tile Delaware League.
The committee on investigation has
visited six Of our largest Wilmington
stores and was glad to find that they con-
form to the standard Of a fair house, some
even setting higher standard. II Is
hoped that large number of stores will
be found to conform to the required
standard. and during the year it is ex.
pected that the white list will be pub
lished.
Our work for next year seems. very
nearly marked out for us-the completion
of the investigation for white list and
the arousing Of the public conscience
throughout the State that will demand
the enactment Of the model Child Labor
law by the next Legislature.
