Rehobofh Now Claims Part
of Land the GKabberS Want

gpecial 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STATE HOUSE. DOVER, Del, Feb.
IA new twist was given today to
the scheme OF the land grabbers TO
get possession Of about 300 or 500 acres
OF land along the Atlantic ocean
north OF Rehoboth for $1,000 when II
became known that the town OF Re
hoboth has put in claim Of owner
ship OF the choicest part Of the tract
now ready TO be built on.
The land grabbers have presumed
all along that the entire tract, which,
In the name of palmer and Company,
a Delaware Corporation" they seek
title TO. is the property Of the State.
That has been the general supposition.
About thirty acres Of the tract along
the ocean is high land, simply watt
ing to be developed by the laying out
of extensions Of Rehoboth streets and
the building of cottages. Lots on
the surf front Of Rehoboth immedi-
ately adjoining the area which the
land grabbers are after, sell for $40
each. This gives some idea Of the
immense profit that would be made
by the land-grabbers should they get
the five-mile stretch Of land for $1,000.
have been inquiring into the subject,
and believe that by the common law
OF riparian rights the town is entitled
to much of the tract Immediately ad-
Joining the town. The town COM
missioners claim ownership down 70
low water mark.
About twenty acres OF the choicest
land in the tract Palmer and Company
- h..
town of Rehoboth owns down TO the
ocean. This land has been made by
the action OF the ocean and the drift
ing of sand for many years and forms
a triangular plot between the board
walk, the present northern boundary
Of the town extended, and the Atlantic
ocean. II is the most valuable part
Of the land within the 500 or 600
acres the land-grabbers are after.
Charles A. Horn, one Of the Town
Commissioners of Rehoboth, was
here today and conferred with some
OF the legislators about the situation.
He told them the Town Commission
ers are claiming ownership to the
triangular stretch under riparian
rights. The Town Commissioners ex-
pect to have a bill reported out OF
some committee. as a substitute, TO
give 20 the town clear title 10 the
twenty acres or so between the board
walk and the ocean. Should title be
vested in Rehoboth IL would be a
crushing blow to the land grabbers
II also is contended that with the
completion OF the canal TO connect
Delaware Bay with Rehoboth Bay, the
Iowlands in the 500 OF 900 acre tract
Palmer and Company are after would
be drained into the canal. which
would be four feet lower than the
surface OF the lowlands within the
plot described by the land grabbers.
Thus all that land would be reclaim
ed without any cost to the land-grab-
bers.

Marriage and Divorce.

From Chicago Tribune.
The question of divorce could be solved
II the more important question of mar
rage were properly settled first. There
would be as few divorces in the United
States as there are in Europe II the same
safeguards which protect marriage in the
older countries were thrown around mar
rage in this country.
A uniform marriage law Is more need
ed in the United States than a uniform
divorce law. 1t is the essential prelimi-
nary to any effective handling Of the
divorce problem.
Divorces in this country would be re-
duced in number by two-thirds II, as Is
the law in England. no marriage could
take place until the banns have been
published for three weeks-if no girl
could marry without her parents con-
sent until she was twenty-one years old.
The cause allowed for the granting of
divorce in Illinois are all reasonable. In
durable insanity should be cause for
divorce Certain diseases should be suf-
hcient case, as well as incurable diseases
concealed before marriage. The English
divorce commission has recommended the
recognition of these three causes.
II the Illinois commission on uniform
divorce and marriage laws will take the
Divorce Beast by the horns and not by
the tail there will be q much better
