WOULD PUT THE
"HOBOES" AT WORK
ON HIGHWAYS

Whon two years ago, a bill was in
the Delaware Legislature providing
for the adequate punishment OF per-
sons who trespass on the railroads,
objection was made to it by certain
Levy Court Commissioners that such
law would result In the County
Workhou'se being filled with tramps,
who would have to be maintained al
the expense Of the taxpayers Those
Levy Court Commissioners insisted
that the railroads should pay for the
keep Of such convicted trespassers.
To that the railroad officials de-
murred They said that othertindi-
viduals aud corporations wcre not
called upon TO maintain trespassers
convicted and il would not be fair 10
compel the railroads TO do it,. The
anti-trespass bin failed TO pass.
II is proposed now that another
anti-trespass bin shall be introduc-
ed in the present Legislature and that
one of It's provisions shall be that all
tramps caught trespassing shall be
arrested, prosecuted and convicted
and then organized into gangs for
work on the public roads Such "a
law, IL is asserted, would make such
prisoners pay for their own keep and
also result in great benefit to the
public.

BODY INTO RIVER
TO HIDE THE CRIME

PENNSVILLE. n. j., Jan. 11.-With
the search for bodies of other sup
posed victims abandoned. the efforts
of the Salem County authorities were
diverted yesterday to running out
clues to the effect that the stranger
who was found dead at the end of the
pier in the river here Wednesday
morning was first sandbaggod and
the body then thrown into the river
TO hide the crime
Coroner Hitchner is inclined to the
foul play theory He examined the
body Of the stranger more closely and
discovered that beside the contu-
sions of the face and head. one of the
mans teeth had been knocked out, ap-
parently caused by hard blow The
Coroner believes the man was dead
before he wenr into the water His
theory is that the stranger was kill
ed during a row near Salem, and that
the horse and wagon were used to
carry off the body.
"The rig is scarcely one that any
body would want to steal" said Mr.
Hitchner The horse was all of Is
years old, and F. Fl. Lloyd, the miller
who owned the animal, had not hac
