Reports on Santo Domingo Affairs.
Walter W. Wick. general receiver of
Dominican customs, was a caller at the
White House today. Mr.. Wick is in the
United States for dual purposes-one per-
sonal, the other official. The illness of
his wife, who is domiciled in Washing
ton. brought him home primarily to see
her. He also took the opportunity to pur-
chase a revenue cutter for the Dominican
customs service.
A letter received by him this morning
from Pedro L. Nadal, president of the
chamber OF commerce, industry and asri-
culture of Santa Domingo. indicates the
appreciation in which the administration
of the customs by General Receiver Wick
is held.
President Nada1 speaks of the benefits
accruing from the data provided and pub
lished by the general receiver. and asks
that the chamber of commerce be given
a full service. In transmitting the letter
to Mr.. Wick. his deputy speaks of the
growing feeling in his favor among the
Dominican people. and of many evidences
of the appreciation of his work by bust
ness interests.
Two New Vessels Needed.
The Dominican customs service has
four revenue cutters in use. two of which
are about to be retired. Hoping to obtain
two boats to replace these, Mr.. Wick
looked over the shipping market in New
York. He was able to obtain property
rights for the Dominican service in one
vessel. about 100 feet long and sixteen
feet wide. which, with alterations and
repairs. will cost in the neighoorhood

WANTS LIGHT
ON PROHIBITION PLAN
Insists Promoters Should Demon
strate Efficacy of Constitu-
tional Amendment.

Prohibtionists must convince senators
that a prohibition constitutional amend
ment is the most effective way of fight
ing the liquor traffic before the Senate
will seriously consider the amendment.
according to the statement of Senator
Borah today to advocates of the amend
ment before the Senate judiciary com
mittee.
My experience is that the federal
government does not enforce it's laws
out my way. added Senator Borah
No Longer Local Issue.
Or. James Cannon, jr.. superint endent
of the Virginia Anti tiSaloon League,
responded that no one could tell posi-
lively as to the effectiveness of the
constitutional method of putting down
the liquor traffic.
He argued that prohibition was no long
er local issue. but national one and
that when such large proportion of the
people desired to vote on the question. it
was the duty of Congress to afford them
that opportunity. He contended it was
for the people and not for Congress to
decide whether the method would be eff
fective. Instead of interfering with state
rights, DIR. Cannon asserted. the states
would be left to enforce their own liquor
laws not in conflict with the federal law
just as they now collect taxes on the
traffic along with the federal govern
ment.

NEWS IN BRIEF

The finding one day last week of a
revolver with all of the cartridges in
tact except one in the mud of Silver
Lake, Dover, Del, which is being
drained while the bridge is being re-
paired, has recalled a suicide of nearly
20 years ago, when man named S!a-
ter, soliciting for magazine, became
melancholy over reverses and went 70
the mill pond and shot himself. His
body was discovered shortly afterward
but the revolver could not be found.
Leander McCauley of Tayloria, was
run over and killed by the afternoon
train on the L. 0. & S., Monday of last
week. He was intoxicated and lying
on the track on curve just beyond
the home of Howard Walton. Engi-
neer McMichael did not see him until
within a few feet of the PROSTATE
man. The head was entirely severed
from the body, one leg was cut badly
and there were numerous decorations
about the body.
Becoming wedged in the main driv-
ing shaft of the machinery in her
fathers mill, 10 year old Mary Casson,
daughter of Levin D. Casson, was
killed at Garrison Mills, seven miles
from Dover, October 7. The back and
top of her head were crushed before
the engine could be shut off. The
clothing had to be cut before her body
could be released. Coroner Willis
gave a certificate of accidental death.
The father and daughter were alone
in the mill when the accident occurred.
Realizing the perilous condition of his
daughter, Mr.. Casson went to stop the
engine and collapsed upon his return
to find his daughter dead.
Charles G. Evans, aged 30 years, of
Chester, Pa, was thrown from his
motorcycle while racing with another
on the road near Farnhurst, on Sun
day, October 4. His skull was frac-
tured and he died shortly after reach
ing Delaware State Hospital. His
wife had been riding with him and
alighted to allow him to race and wit
messed his fatal fall.
