MILL CREEK
FIGHTS SECOND
HOSPITAL SITE

There was a we'll attended meeting
of the taxpayers Of Mill Creek
hundred last evening in the public
school at Brandywine Springs for the
purpose of protesting against the
establishing Of a tuberculosis hospi-
tai for colored patients near Hope
Farm. State Senator John NJ. Walk
er. of Mill Creek hundred, is chair
man of the commission appointed to
select a. site for the hospital. An
option has been secured on the
Bright property. near Farnhurst,
which option expires on September
Is. The reason the Farnhurst site
was considered favorably was be-
cause the drainage of that neighbor-
hood empties into the Christiana
river. Another site for the proposed
hospital is said TO adjoin the Hope
Farm. but the people of Mill Greek
object on several grounds, the prrin-
cipal reason being that the drainage
at the farm is already bad and that
people in the vicinity are likely to
become contaminated by the tuber-
culosis germs. Consequently an
effort will be made to induce the site
commission to select the Farnhurst
location.

liquors without a license. Antonio
Lanardo, young Italian, employed in
the restaurant of Michael Bennett,
No. ia Market street, on last Sun
day, was fined 500 and costs by
Deputy Judge Joslyn in Police Court
today.
Lanardo was charged with selling a
bottle of wine for IS cents to Ida
Davis who lives at No. 3 Miners
Court. The woman testified she
bought two bottles of wine from Lam
ardo. the second at the request of Po-
liceman Burchenal, who, with Patrol
man Morrow, brought about the de-
fendan't arrest.
Lanardo denied the charge on the
witness stand, stating that he gave
the wine to the woman and did not
sell it. Several witnesses we're called
by James Salisbury, Who represented
Lanardo, to refute the womans evi-
dence.
Lanardo's arrest Is a sequel to the
case of Michael Bennett, owner of the
restaurant, who was dismissed on the
same charge in City Court yesterday.

POLICE BELIEVE
SCREWS IS CAUGHT

A negro, who is believed to be
George Screws. who is accused of
having shot and wounded two
at Milford last Saturday
night, was arrested on a farm near
Thompson's Bridge, near Rockland,
yesterday, by Sergeant David Wardle
and Motorcycle Oficer Horace Nc
Dannell, acting upon information re-
ceived by Chief of Police George
Black.
The negro. who gave his name as
Charles Cam and said he was "a
years old, put up a desperate fight
when taken by the officers, and said
he would kill himself before being
taken to Jail.
After he was lodged in the police
station the man began to eat his old
felt hat and tear his clothing until
he was restrained. The police think
the man is pretending insanity.
When questioned, the man admitted
that he came from Milford, but con-
tradicted himself in several of his
statements. The description Of the
prisoner corresponds very closely
with the description Of Screws as sent
out by the Milford authorities.
When asked this morning whether
the man would be given a hearing
Chief Black declared that the first
thing to be done would be to have
him identified. There won't be any
hearing until we get him identified,
