DROUGH MAY CUT TOMATOES
Packers in Maryland, Delaware And
Jersey Are Gloomy Over Situation

If the drought which has prevailed
for a month continues the tomato
crop in Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey will be reduced more than
one-half from the yield last year.
This serious state of affairs was
learned at a meeting in Wilmington,
Monday, of the Tristate Packers As
sociation, which comprises three
fOurths of all the packers in these
three States. The meeting was held
primarily to ascertain the compara-
tive acreage of tomatoes. The acre
age contracted for is the same as last
year. The serious drought occupied
nearly all of the discussion. In the
absence of the president, ex-Congress-
man Walter o. Hoffecker, of Smyrna.
Del, Vice-President Robert T. Fogg,
OF Salem, N. j., presided. The total
tomato pack of the members of the
association last year was $500, 900
cases. If the existing drought is
soon broken the crop may be normal,
but if it continues, as is feared, the
yield will be lessened one-half or
more. The meeting adjourned until
August 10th, when another session
will be held in Wilmington, to learn
actual crop conditions. This will be
at the opening of the canning season

caught, however, of which Harvey
W. FAIRIES and Harvey Jones were
credited with five each. AS Messrs.
Hynson and Sudler were obliged to
report at their respective banks

proceeded far before the new batter

to do but to row and it was a her

heavy sea. Finally as they neared
the mouth of the creek, Mr.. Pryor
raised the distress signal but it was

fully and weary hours rolled by, the
party having nothing to eat and far
from home. They pulled away all

KENT LEVY COURT PROBES
INTO COUNTY GRAFT CASES
HOLD SECRET SESSION DOVER
AND ADJOURN UNTIL AUGUST s
John P. Hudson of Smyrna one of The
lnVestigative Committee of Three
Met With Court Yesterday

Kent Levy Court assembled in special
executive session at Dover yesterday
and closed the doors at eleven O. clock
to hear the recommendation of its
investigating committee concerning
an alleged attempt to defraud the
county of nearly three thousand dol
lars. Captain John T. Buckson,
county treasurer, and S. W. Darby
clerk OF the peace, were allowed to
remain in the executive session. Mr..
Darby being a quasi voting member
OF the court, but all others were bar
red out. The investigating commit
tee-JOhn P. Hudson, Elmer Walker.
and j. Hall Anderson, attorney, ar
rived early with typewriter findings,
but would not talk concerning the
disclosures they were about to make.
Levy Court is composed of eight Re-
publicans and two Democrats and the
disclosures are made by Republicans
against Republicans, as all oficehold-
ers IN Kent are now Republicans.
That the present movement is devoid
OF even factional politics is apparent
from the fact that Attorney Anderson
was elected as an organization Re-
publican, while the commissioners on
the committee-Mr. Hudson was
classed as an anti-organization man in
the last primaries and Mr.. Walker
as an organization man. Two of the
officials who were being investigated
are organization men and the third
an anti-organization worker. The
Levy Court after an all-day session,
concluded it investigation for the day,
of alleged graft in official circles in
Delaware's central county, and ad-
journed over to Tuesday, August 5th.
The court presented no indictments,
nor did it turn over it's evidence to
the Attorney-General, but simply
adopted this resolution, offered by
Commissioner Carmean, which con-
tains an allegation of fraud: THAT
the present Investigating committee
be continued to ascertain what, if
anything, is due the county from the
persons involved in this investiga-
tion. " The commissioner would an
swer no question as to the "persons
involved" except to say, when pressed
as to the number of "persons in
volved' that there were at least four.
