DOVER. Del. Dec. 23-A fiery debate
arose in the Delaware farmers conference
at yesterday afternoons session over the
old Delaware contention. Hervey Walker
and Arnold Naudain, both of New Castle
county. and both past masters of the Del
aware Grange sprang drastic resolution
calling on the State to pay no more to the
"old Presbyterian Board" Of Delaware
College until the title 10 the property was
vested in the state.
There was dashing debate between
Messrs Walker and Professor Harry Hay

station. in which Mr.. Walker charged that
after the expenditure of hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars by the State and
National Governments. there were now
only ten students taking the college
course IN agriculture that the college
farm was not equipped; that there was no
poultry or cattle TO be used in the in

ton was defeated and a substitute offered

Resolution That Was Lost.
Whereas. the State Of Delaware in
the last forty years has appropriated

Whereas, the National Government in
the same time has appropriated one mill

periments and teaching agriculture and
mechanic arts in Delaware. and
Whereas, the parties who disburse this
vast sum OF National money say that
We neither have buildings, equipment or

TURKEY HUNT IN
HEART OF CITY

There was a turkey hunt up at
Eleventh and King streets this morn
ing that furnished some excitement fot
the people of the neighborhood and
finally ended in the death of the festive
bird.
The hunt started from the yard OF
Dr. s. G. Tlbert, where the bird had
been fattening for several days pre-.
liminary TO the Christmas feast il
which it is to play such a prominent
Iart. Whether the bird had fattene1
beyond the confines of the pen which
held Il has not been explained, but
certain it is that the turkey got out
aud when a member of the household
went to see if all was well with the
bird he found it--not in the pen. but
on the roof of a neighboring house
How to get the bird back to its pen
was q problem that the man could moi
solve. as the particular house on which
the turkey was perched was without
q trap-door and a ladder was unob-
tainable.
While the former custodian Of tho
bird was figuring out how he was go
ing to get back the Christmas dinner.
two officers appeared on the scene and
added their assistance to the rescue
First they bombarded the bird with
snowballs and when the turkey, a few
minutes later. took refuge in the yard
surrounding the residence of James T..
Winchester. policemen and turkey
custodian figured out that the capture
of the bird was then an easy matter.
But the bird had made up its mind
that it was not going to be taken alive.
All around the big yard policemen and
turkey ran. men first chasing the
turkey and the turkey then chasins
the man. In despair the officers con-
cluded that the only way to get that
turkey was to shoot it, and then the
shooting began. Two shots were FREQ
and now Dr. Elbert has a dead turkey
on his hands.
