SLAUGHTER'S BEACH, Del. Aug.
1S.-This is the height of the season
at Slaughter's Beach, when former
Sussex countians and their families
come here to spend their vacations.
Bowers Beach, Oak Orchard and the
several camp meetings may have their
crowds but old Slaughter's Beach
still is the chief attraction The
bathing, as usual. is splendid and If
one does not be tempted to 60 in for
a dip In the Mispillion II is a case Of
watching the antics Of the bathers
who are arrayed In the latest styles
of bathing suits. When one is extra
tall or extra stout, it means that
home made suits must be procured.
The fishing is splendid and the folk
enjoy taking the beauties from the
river. Some of the men are not sat
isfied with the catches here but go
to Big Stone. others simply use tho
green back bait and when a local
youth makes a haul the city folks
buy a bunch and take the fish home
as presents.
These pleasant moonlight evenings
are occasions for out-of-door con-
certs by city folks, and at this time
there are several fine singers here.
Among the cottagers are Alexander
Hatfield, wife and three daughters,
Marion, Dorothy and Sara. Mr.. Hat
field is a train dispatcher at the Edge
Moor yards of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company and is enjoying the
bathing, the trips on the river as we'll
as the chickens, fresh apples and
vegetables for which Slaughter's
Beach is noted.
Brides and grooms are enjoying The
delights of the beach. Included in
these are Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Roach of Slaughter's Neck. and Mr..
and Mrs Harry B. Prettyman of No.
920 Lombard street, Wilmington. Mrs.
Prettyman before marriage was Miss
Maggie H. Davidson Of Slaughter
Neck, and is popular not only at the

oolonists as well. Mr.. Prettyman is
connected with the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Corporation. of Whining
ton. He enjoys his trips on the Mis-
pillion on the fast power boat Lord
Delaware under the command of Can
tain Roy Davidson.
Other cottagers noticed at ths
beach are: Mrs. George H. Prettyman

and Mrs Frederick Waylls of Prime

Wilmington; Wilbur Moore of Ches-
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. Willis of Whining

entertaining her sister from Philadel-
phia.
Thursday next will be Big Thurs
day at the beach. That means thou
sands of strangers. They will start
from home on Wednesday morning
and come in all kinds Of wagons. The
dinner at the beach is a novel one
for the tables are built of sand and

The speaker said: I'VE learn that
the prisoners are not going to be
liberated without order, but that the
Divine arrangement is to liberate
those during the Gospel Age who de-
sire to have freedom, who are weary
and heavy laden and that these
shall be taught of His plans and pur-
poses in advance by a normal train
ing as It we're, and prepared to act
as teachers for the balance of man
kind. Then when this great work
shall have been accomplished, then
will begin the opening of the prison
for the world They shall be brought
forth to their former estate, unto
the Judgment resurrection, to walk
upon the highway of holiness if they
are appreciative Of the grace be-
slowed upon them"

SAY REQUISITION
WOULD Be USELESS
Ry Tho United Presa.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. le.-An New
York officials, the authorities here agree,
are poweress TO force 1haws return.
They cannot issue a "requisition" If he
Is found in another State, because Thaw
is not a fugitive from justice, having
been acquitted of murder and being
merely an insane patient"
State department officials said that IL
was doubtful II any foreign nation would
honor a request from this government
for Thaw's return should he escape
abroad.
The department would be powerless to
issue a formal "requisition" OF extradi-
tion papers. Il could merely request"
such a course, and its authority even to
make such a request Is doubtful.
DIR. Benjamin r. Logic, for years the
governments insanity expert" here,
said.
"'rhaw cannot be returned He is
gone forever If he is out of New York.
He is not insane in any other State, and
IS at perfect liberty except In New York.
Extradition will not hold water He has
committed no act by escaping by which
he can be arrested in any other State or
country. Il looks to me like Thaw Is
free except he will be debarred forever
from scintillating along the Great
White Way"
Senator Borah, one of the foremost
attorneys In Congress, expressed
similar views. He said.
without having given careful study
to all the points involved, ! would
suggest that IL will probably be
found that If intercepted and ad-
Judged insane Thaw will have to be
put in an asylum in the State where
that judgment Is made. He is not,
In law, an escaped criminal. If he
is caught, Il must be on a charge of
insanity, which will lead TO an ex-
animation and to either his discharge
or commitment. Extraditon does not
generally apply to the insane"
Senator Reed, Of Missouri, said
that the return Of the insane from
one State to another was based on
the rule that the State to which they
fed should not be burdened with the
expense OF keeping them. All such
extradition, however, he declared, as
we'll as the extradition of escaped
criminals, was conditional upon the
willingness OF the officials Of the
State In which the fugitive was
caught to return him TO the State
from which he escaped.
"rhe rights of an insane person, in
state where he has not been commit
ted to an asylum said Senator Reed,
"haye never been fully tested in the
courts A great deal Will depend in this
case, upon the laws OF the state where
Thaw may he found, as to apprehending
and holding insane persons"
The Senators were agreed that no
Federal official could assist In the hunt
for Thaw unless within the District of
Columbia or upon some Federal reserva-
tion.
