New DuckIng Law Framed.

The committee appointed by the Gov
ernor to frame new ducking law for the
State has completed its work and will,
present the result of their considerations
for action of the next Legislature.
The ducking season, if the bill is passed,
according to the new ruling, will open
Oct. IS and close March IS. The dealers
and gunners whose business it is to supply
the market will be given three days of
grace in which all ducks must at that time
be sold.
The bill. which is being rapidly gotten
into shape, covers every phase of known
violation of the game laws concerning the
duck. A provision was named whereby
the shooting of ducks from power-boats
would be declared illegal. The trapping
of the birds by nets and other arrange
ments was also thoroughly gone over and
should the bill pass will mean a great de-
crease in this form of lawlessness from the
severe penalties attached.

PASTOR QUITS UNDER FIRE.
Once Suspended for Stock Dabbling
Was Again Accused.

Much surprise has been occasioned
throughout the Wilmington Methodist
Conference by the withdrawal under
charges" of Rev. DR.. Charles S. Baker,
pastor of the St. Michael's (Md.) Methodist
Church, from the ministry and member
ship of the church. The charges against
Dr. Baker are ''imprudent and unmisister-
ial conduct, in that he was alleged to
have dealt in stocks on margins. As
tonishment at DR.. Bakers resignation is
all the greater because it was on charge
of dabbling in stocks on margins that he
was adjudged guilty. together with Rev.
Dr. Wilbur F. Cochran, by a committee of
ministers in 1904, both being suspended
from ministerial duties for year.
DR.. Baker resumed his ministerial
duties in March, 1905, following his sus-
pension, and in March of last year he was
assigned to St. Michaers, being returned
there by the conference when it met in Mil
ford last March. Recently complaint was
made to District Superintendent R. K.
Stephenson, of Smyrna, that DR.. Baker
again was engaging in stock deals on
margins. Charges were made against
him and Tuesday at ST. Michael's. had
been set as time and place for the trial.
Nine ministers, with District Superin-
tendent Stephenson presiding,s were to
constitute the jury in the case. Saturday,
however, DR.. Baker forwarded his resig
nation from the ministry and membership
of the Church to DR.. Stephenson, which
forestalled the trial, ard the only action
now remaining is for the Conference at its
next session in Salibury, Md, in March
to accept formally the withdrawal of Dr.
Baker.
Rev. ]. P. Otis, Of Greensboro, and
Rev. L. E. Barrett, of Chestertown, were
appointed counsel for the church, and they
formulated charges on the basis of the evil
dence submitted against DR.. Baker, and
forwarded copy of them to him.
Dr. Baker for many years was one of
the foremost ministers of the Wilmington
Conference, Twice he was presiding
elder, and he also was sent by the Will
mington Conference as delegate to the
General Conference. He had much in
fuence in conference affairs, and, follow
ing his suspension, he was pastor of As
bury Church, Wilmington, and of churches
at Kent Island and St. Michael's, Md
