Young Campers Sad Fate

Two lives were lost in Elk river on
Thursday afternoon of last week when
Clayton Tatman, aged 1S, of 902 Park
Place, and Reed Citing, aged II, of SIG
Washington street, Wilmington, two
members of the camping party of nine
teen of the Wilmington Y. NJ C. A, were
drowned.
The boys opened camp July / at Camp
Crescent, on 1. Lum Holts shore, on the
west side of the river, in charge of G.
H. Meissner, physical director of the Y.
NJ. c. A. Thursday afternoon the boys
had been across the river to Town Point
and upon their return some of them de-
cided to go in swimming. Citing, who
could not swim, went into the water and
soon found himself beyond his depth.
He cried for help and, with real hero
ism, several of his youthful companions
plunged into the water after him, and
Tatman soon reached his side. 1t was
reported from the camp that Tatman
got Citing on his back and started for
the shore, but Citing became frightened
and caught his wouldbe rescuer about
the throat, thus causing a struggle that
resulted in the drowning of both boys.
Giffing's body was recovered Friday
morning and that of Tatman the follow
ing day, after incessant search and
dragging of the river.
Coroner William p. Dean, of Elkton,
was notified and gave certificates of
death from accidental drowning, and the
bodies Of the two youthful victims We're
taken to the homes of their grief strick-
en- parents in Wilmington.
The funeral of Reed Citing was held
Sunday and that of Tatman Monday

BOARDS TO ASK
SUPREME COURT
7ODIVIDE Coin

When the revised special income
tax law went into effect on April 80
this year the sum of $206,000, collect
ed on that tax. lay in the territorial
treasury unexpended. Under the old
law the board OF immigration would
receive three-fourths Of this amount
but under the new statute it would
get on one-half. The board OF agFi-
culture and forestry would receive the
other half. though it received only
one-fourth under the old law.
All this is given to explain why the
two boards, on an agreed statement
of facts, are to appeal to the supreme
court now, asking whether the $685.
600 shall be divided according to the
old laws provisions or under the new.
IL the court holds that the unexpend-
ed balance shall be divided under the
new rule the board of immigration
will lose approximately $51 300, mere
ly because it did not spend all the
money due it on April 80.

the display Of the posters.
Several local artists, professional
and amateur, have already submitted
designs, and the members of the pro
motion committee viii tomorrow de.
eide upon the one which will be
chosen for the poster. 1t is believed
that the designs submitted this year
win surpass anything in the way of a
poster which has ever been used for
local pageants. and from the number
of designs already in the hands of the
committee, a very effective design
should be secured. The artist whose
design is chosen will receive 500 for
the work The committee expects to
get out a large supply of 5xS mailing
cards, one side bearing the design and
the other a special message, and also
a supply CT post cards and stickers. As
soon as these have been issued, the
public will be invited to visit the
rooms of the committee and get them
for distribution.

LARGE sum IN
License FEES
OUTSTANDING

Working over hours, and forgetting
the lunch habit, the employees of the
city and county treasurer are taking
in the last of the merchant license
fees today. At l o'clock this after
noon $2700 had been collected during
the day, while up to last night, in
Guiding receipts of July 80, $61,157.5O
had been taken in, which is $5,622
less than the sum collected during
July of last year. However, with the
$2.700 already paid in today, and with
many licensees on their way with
their money. it is probable that the
difference in the sums collected for
the two years will not be large when
the books are closed this evening.
City and County Treasurer C. j.
Mccarthy estimates that there is
still $4,000 outstanding. but much of
this will not be collected before the
first of the month. Several large
business firms, he says, have not Sc
cured their licenses yet, but they will
probably be in today. Col. Mccarthy
estimates that he win take in. during
the year $4,000 in license fees.

GARBAGE MEN WILL
REMOVE ALL MANG0ES

If you pick your mangoes and put
them in a box on the sidewalk the
garbage man will cart them away. He
will not leave them there to rot. as
the city garbage men have been ac-
cused of doing. but will take them
away the same day they are put on
the walk. The garbage department
caused this statement to be made to-
day, which was in reply to the criti-
cism made by Z. A. Back. in charge
of the fruit fly campaign, in a letter
to Supervisor Petrie. In this letter ne
declared that many persons had pick
ed the mangces from their trees, put
them in boxes for the garbage man
to collect, but that the latter had re-
fused to cart them away. Orders
have now been issued, from Petrie
down, with the result that hereafter
mangoes will receive the same tender
consideration as slop of the first de-
gree.
