CASE OF Or. KUHNs DOVER
Answers He Graduated From a Chicago
Veterinary College in 1907 and is
Therefore Eligible for Position

A rule to show cause why DR.. Jus
tus Kuhns of Dover, should not be
ousted from his position as veterina-
rian on the Delaware Livestock Sani-
tary Board, in the case of DR.. J. p.
Zuill VS.. DR.. Justus Kuhns, was re-
turnable Superior Court Friday Morn
ing. An affidavit has been filed by
Hugh M. Morris, counsel for the
plaintiff, alleging that DR.. Kuhns
is not a graduate Of legal veterinary
college. Daniel o. Hastings, repre-
senting DR.. Kuhns, filed an affidavit
signed by his client to the effect that
he is a graduate of legal veterinary
college. In his affidavit DR.. Kuhns al
leges that he graduated from the
Chicago Veterinary College. one of
the most reputable colleges in the
country, in 1907, and was therefore
on April 11th. 1911, a graduate of a
college. Mr.. Hastings stated that
affidavits could be secured from the
professors Of the college in support of
his clients affidavit, but that some
time would be necessary to secure
this data. He therefore asked that
the case be continued until the May
term of court. Mr.. Morris at first
opposed this motion, but later agreed
on condition that if the continuance
was granted all affidavits should be in
by the first day of the May term. Mr..
Hastings declared some time would
be necessary to ascertain the names
of the professors and secure the affi-
davits from them, but Mr.. Morris
held that he considered 10 days as
sufficient time to do this. He there
fore asked that Mr. Hastings file his
affidavits in 20 days in order that
he could make an affidavit in reply,
which he agreed to do Immediately
after Mr.. Hastings had filed his. The
court continued the case until the May
term under agreement made between
the counsel of each side.

DEUAWARE'S EXECUTIVE SIGNS
BILL, BENEFIT DRY DISTRICTS
Prevents Shipments of Liquor in to Dry
Territory Under Penalty Of $500
Fine And Imprisonment.

Governor Miller at II. 20 O. clock yes

biting the shipment of liquor into
80 local option territory" Much in
terest had been manifested in the bill

been signed and thus becomes a law
for the next two years was received
with expressions of satisfaction on
the part of the dry men and intense
dissatisfaction from the 'wets, 8"
The Governor made no formal an

the bill becoming a law. II empow-
ers any man to carry a gallon Of

ritory, "but prohibits the shipment by
common carriers, persons or firms un-
der penalty of fines up to $500 or i'm
prisOnment up to six months, or both,

Wilmington assert the bill is uncon-
stitutional in that 'local option terri
tory" means the entire State. and
not merely Kent and Sussex counties
which voted dry They expect to
test the law in court at the first oppOr-
tunity. The liquor men claim that
dealers outside the Safe can ship into
Delaware under the law. but the tenn
perance advocates deny this and claim
it will make Kent and Sussex dry as
a desert. Temperance folks. how
ever. rejoice at the stand of the Gov
ernor and he is being commended all

The Board had two applications for a
change of district, which were grant
ed. The farm of William H. Lurty

eessarY Vote For Ratification.
Direct election Of United States
Senators by the people became a part
of the federal constitution yesterday
when the Connecticut Legislature rati-
fed the amendment to that effect.
Connecticut was the thirty. sixth state
to act favorably, making the neces-
sary three-fourths Of all the states.
The amendment was adopted within
three months after the legislatures
began assembling early in January.
This amazingly speedy action voiced
the popular demand for the change, a
demand that has been increasingly
insistent for almost ninety years. In
all that time congress, in latter years
the senate alone. blocked the reform.
As soon as the ratifcations have all
been certified to Secretary Of State
Bryan, he will issue a proclamation
announcing the change.

Fruit GroWerS unable 10 Determine
What Damage Was Likely Done.
While ice formed in some sections
of Kent county Sunday and Monday
nights fruit growers are not certain
whether peaches and other fruits have
been affected to any great extent.
The high winds kept the peach buds
dry, but as precaution several of the
larger fruit growers started the fires
shortly after midnight as a precaution
against freezing. Members of the
Legislature brought the cheerful news
that fruit apparently has resisted the
cold sweep ard is thriving. Senator
Furniss. Of Bethel: Colonel John G.
Townsend, of Selbyville; Senator
David, of Blaekbird and Captain
Harry V. Lyons, Of Lewes. reported
that ice was formed during the night,
but there was no frost. There was a
brisk wind which was beneficial and
they say no damage was done to fruit
so far a they could learn. Represen.
tative Barnard. Of Camden. an expert
in fruit culture, says he could find
no damage done. The only fruit
likely to have been hurt. he said, is
Sickle and Bartlett pears, which have
just come into bloom. Whether they
are hurt he could not definitely say.
Keifer pears and peaches have been
in bloom some time and apples are
not out yet.

leg was dressed temporarily and Mr..
Anderson was brought to this city next
morning and taken to the L~ansford
