Visions Of Reward Fade When Con-
stable Ends Castors' Dream.
The little village Of Concord was
stirred to its depths Wednesday when
some residents declared they had cap
tured the negro desperate, George
Dutton. for whom all Delaware has
been seekig for nearly two weeks.
Constable Steen and three deputies in
an automobile made a record run to
the town and found the supposed Dut.
ton seated on a box in front Of a gro
Gerry store, calmly enjoying a feast Of
cheese and crackers, while more than
a score Of COncordites lowered about
him their trembling hands playing
unsteadily on the triggers Of shotguns
70 every movement Of the negro g
jaws St.an. who is familiar with
Dutton's appearance, quickly disabus-
ed the minds Of the vigilant citizens,
expectant Of big reward. and the
suspected murderer was given his
freedom.

SITE FOR THE WOMAN'S
COLLEGE, NEWARK, SELECTED
BELIEVED TO BE THE BEST AND
MOST DESIRABLE OFFERED

Affiliated College Commission Select
the Wollaston Property Of lS Acres
Situated on the Depot Road"
At a meeting of the Affiliated Col
lege Commission held in Wilmington
on Monday, the Wollaston property
was selected as the site for the Wo-
mans College. The property con-
sitting of 18 acres. is the field on
Depot Road. directly opposite the Red
Mems Home. IL is bounded on three
sides by public roads and it is under
stDOd the Commission will open
street on the northern side, thereby
providing a pleasing seclusion. The
decision of the Commission which is
understood to have been unanimous,
was reached after careful delibera-
tion. Unknown to the general pub
lie, landscape architect advice was
secured and upon his recommendation
was the site selected as the best
available. taking into consideration the
amount or money available and the A..
utility standpoint Of convenience TO the
College proper and the Farm. The
amount agreed upon was $4,000,
which is reckOned as a good bargain.
Contrary to impressions in some quar-.
ters. no amount was specified in the
bill as passed by the General Assem-
bly,. The bill provides simply for ar
annual appropriation of $50. 600 for 5
years. This is to be expended on in
terest. site, buildings, furnishings
and equipment, ready to be opened
for work September, 1914. Mrs. A.
D. Warner and Prof. Twitmyer.
members Of the Affiliated College
Commission, were appointed to ar
range for exercises for breaking
ground on Farmers Day, June 18th.
Although the time is short, it is ex-
peeted that an interesting program
will be given, thus bringing the Coll
lege in tangible form before the
people.

woman between the ages Of 1s and 4s
years who would marry him and be

ed with offers from all parts Of the

Grizzly Bear and Tango Also Covered
by FacultY's Edict.
The turkey trot. gizzly bear, tango
and similar modern dances have been
barred by the Delaware College faeul-
ty from the annual commencement
hop. to be held in the gymnasium
and from all college dances in
the future. This action was taken
by the faculty at a special meeting.
and any efforts to engage in Obection-
able dances will result in the dances
being stopped. Following a frater-
nifty dance held several weeks ago,
when the turkey trOt was INDUCED
in to a considerable extent, there was
severe criticism and this is thought
to have had some effect upon the ia
Guilty. At the commencement hop the
wives Of members of the faculty act
as patrOnessess and il is understood
that they will make il part of their
duty TO watch for Objectionable
dances, and, if they cannot be pre-

STURGEON FISHING BOON
TO DELAWARE FISHERMEN
MORE THAN $1,000 WORTH STUR-
GEONS CAUGHT IN ONE WEEK
Where a Few Boats Were Form
erIY on This Job. Now There Are
Dozens Willing to Take Chance

Sturgeon fishing in the Delaware
river along the Delaware coast is be-
coming so profitable that instead of
two or three boats in the business,
this year twelve fishing boats were
working the entire season. To date
ffty-three sturgeon have been caught
by Delaware fishermen, most Of them
containing a large amount Of caviar
and bring big prices. The industry is
remarkable, mainly through the large
chances taken. For days the boats
will not make anything. while the
expenses Of the crew mounts up.
Then in one day e strike Of two or
three of the big fish will be made,
netting the fishermen a large profit.
Rufus Yearsley is probably the luck
lest fisherman along the Delaware,
having already caught ten surgeons
this season. the largest record made
by one boat in many years. Ten
surgeons in one day was another re-
cord catch of the season, although
several boats participated in the good
luck. George Tugend caught the
largest sturgeon taken from the river
in several years, the fish measuring
ten feet and three and a half inches
in length. containing ninety-nine
pounds Of caviar and dressing at 200
pounds. The fish weighed ATS pounds
when taken from the water. Leonard
Young is another fortunate fisherman
with thirty-twO pounds Of caviar to
his credit in one haul, while Eugene
Armstrong caught one which yielded
fifty-One pounds of caviar and dressed
at $50 pounds. Most of the caviar
sells at s1.50 pound and is shipped
to Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
York. while the meat also brings a
good price. In one weeks fishing,
more than $1,000 worth Of sturgeon
was caught, a gOOdly sum of money
to be divided among the fishermen Of
the Delaware Shore.
