has not travelled over the county road
from Rising Sun to Frederick, which
is, without doubt, the worst piece of
road in Kent county. II is one con-
tinuous chuck hole and il the SUPER
visors get an appropriation from the
Kent County Levy Court for main
tenance of the same, they should be
ashamed to accept it, or the Levy
Court should withhold it and have
the county engineer put it in shape,
for it is a disgrace to Kent county
and the State as we'll. Wherever the
split erag is being used, as it should
be, and the roads properly drained,
as has been recently demonstrated on
the State road from Dover to Smyrna
the results have been highly satisfac-
tory. For long time tourists would
refrain from coming down the State
on account of the condition Of this
road, but they now have a good road
to Dover, and they can be seen COM
ing in numbers.

tinue from Georgetown up the State.

have one of the finest beaches at
Rehoboth on the Atlantic coast, and
if we had a boulevard reaching there.

bers and in going through the State

as the carrier of many parties Of

Just outside the front door of Brit
ish commerce which witnessed the
murder of the Lusitania's passengers

be regarded as an ammunition ship,

that the blow was without warning.

wholly justifiable. But delay that is

CLERK QUESTION IS
BEFORE The LEVY court

II is expected that the Levy Court
will discuss the question of extra
clerks at its meeting this afternoon. On
March the Legislature passed an act
authorizing county officials to appoint
additional clerks to keep up the work
of the several Offices. Recorder of Deeds
A. V. /. George two weeks ago sent a
letter to the Levy Court stating that he
required the services of seven additional
clerks to keep up with the work in his
Office The Levy Court did not concur
in the request and the letter was re-
ferred TO the finance committee. That
committee is expected to report at the
meeting today. Two months ago the
court passed resolution that no extra
clerks should be employed after Febru-
ary 2s without permission of the Levy
Court under the new act of the Legisla-
ture then to be passed. The extra
clerks. accordingly, have been perturbed
over the prospects of waiting for their
pay as we'll as regarding their standing
since February %.

officials claims that the success OF the

The Berlin public learned for the first

making them almost imprcgnable. Con-
G, alcd. in land batteries, armed with

These have been 20 masked that the al

ships have destroyed only the old shore
batteries. They have not yet even at

And military experts here are of the
opinion that only land attacks by huge

CONFESSES Guilt

In Murder Case Ad-
mitS Charge
KRAKUS ASKS
TO SEE COUNSEL

Considerable surprise was express
ed in police circles today when 1t was
reported here that Bernard Montvid.
arrested here in conjunction with
Peter Krakus, convicted murderer of
Patrolman Tierney, had confessed in
New Britain. Conn. to the murder of
the Rev. Joseph Zebrows and Miss
Eva Gilman, the housekeeper. Mont
vid was arraigned yesterday and when
the charge was read to him, that of
numbering the couple. 1t is alleged he
replied: That's right, I'm guilty"
Montvid, while at the workhouse here
declared he did not take part in the
murder but merely acted as a watch
before the priest house.
Krakus continues TO retain his
nerve and when given a Bible yester-
day he said, 81 would like TO have a
magazine for the present" Despite
this Krakus fumbled with the Bible
for some time, and during the day he
asked Warden Crawford to ask his
counsel, David j. Relnhardt, TO visit
him.
Mr.. Reinhsrdt. it is thought. will go
TO the workhouse this afternoon. To-
morrow morning the motion for a
new trial asked for by the defend
ants counsel will be considered by
the judges in the Oyer and Terminor
Court II this request Is refused, It
is likely that sentence will be pro-
nounced on the defendant.
Krakus does not show any signs OF
weakening mentally or physically He
is as sullen and stolid as ever, and
il his conviction has made an i'm
preston upon him, il is not appar-
ent His wonderful nerve is still un-
broken, and OF all the people con-
nected with the case he is the least
concerned.
Chief Of Police George Black will
visit KralIus sometime this week. but
not until after his case is disposed
of in court tomorrow. He believes
the man will be willing TO confess
if he has taken part in the severa
crimes of which he is suspected.

lice of this city has been turned over I
