and other similar dances are thing
of the past at Delaware College hops
The faculty has barred them from. the
annual commencement dance TO be
held in the gymnasium next Wednes-
day night and from any other college

dances will result in the dances being
stopped While i'm statement issued
by the faculty no specific dance IS
mentioned, it was stated by one OF
the professors that they had reference
70 the turkey trOt grizzly bear, tango
and other similar dances.
Following fraternity dance sew
pral weeks ago when the turkey trot
was INDUCED in there was severe
criticism and this is thought TO have
had some effect with the faculty in
taking the matter up. Al the com
mencement hop, the wives OF mem-
bers of the faculty act as patronesses
and it is understood that they will
make it part of their duty to watch
for the Objectionable danuces ana III

"In accord with the best sentiment
Of the community and the action OF

ulty of Delaware College will see to
It that tho coming commencement
dance is not an opportunity for eX-
plotting the vulgar dancing which ol
tate has gained considerable popular.
ity Feeling their duty to the com
munity and recognizing their obliga'
tions as educators of the young peo'
ple Of the state they wish to give tho
widest publicity to the fact ha. efforts
to engage in objectionable dances OF
that or other occasions IN the college
buildings will result in ending thu
dances. Tho music will be stopped

wise will be sufficient IL it is not
college dances at Delaware ar

LEWES MEN
URGE PLAN FOR
BREAKWATER
Colonel Kuhn, United States
Engineer, Holds Public
Hearing Today
ADVOCATE NEW SEA
WALL TO FORM BASIN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
LEWES, Del, June 11.-Colonel
Joseph b. Kuhn, United States en-
gineer In charge of Delaware River
projects, came from Philadelphia this
morning and attended a public hear
ing Of residents i'm behalf OF the pro-
posed extension TO the Delaware
Breakwater. II is undecided as TO
whether the extension shall be to the
present breakwater. or whether a new
breakwater shall be constructed from
the shore some distance north
of the present breakwater
and extending toward the pres
ent wall of stone. with a large open-
ing between the two brea1waters.
This would create a great refuge or
protected harbor between the long
barriers of stone. and would provide
a basin TO shelter vessels in time Of
storm.
The residents of Lew, favor the
last named project of breakwater
being built outward fro the shore
north Of the present brealwater.
The speakers at the public meeting
this morning including former Con-
gressman Hiram r. Burton, Captain
Harry V. Lyons. d. W. Burbage, John
r. Price. Captain Schellenger and
Captain Salisbury They pointed out
that the present brealkwater does not
protect because II does not keep out
the high seas during storms, and YES
sells will not anchor back of It. Ice
back of the breakwater i'm winter
also is a peril to vessels, it was con
tended.
Statistics we're submitted showing
that 167 vessels have been lost since
/ 1884 along or near the coast not far
distant from the Breakwater. and a
suitable harbor at the BreakwateT
might have resulted in the saving OF
some of the craft.
Colonel Kuhn made an address
discussing the project and rather
| favored an extension from the shore
north of Lewes, such as residents ad
vOcated today. Colonel Kuhn asked
that data and statistics be submitte,
to him, and this will be done, Mr.
Burhage. Dr. Burton and Captain
Price being appointed "a committee
for that purpose.
