LIEUTENANT HOEY COMES
TO DELAWARE COLLEGE

Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, president
of Delaware College, has been notified
by the War Department that Lieuten-
ant William F. Hoey, of the II Infan-
try, U. S. A., had been detailed to
succeed Captain Charles C. Herman,
as military instructor of the Delaware
College Cadets. He has been ordered
to come to Newark at once and re-
port to DR.. Mitchell.
Lieutenant Hoey is a Delawarean
and is well known throughout the
state and especially in the vicinity
of Dover, his home. Some years ago
Lieutenant Hoey was an officer in the
Organized Militia of Delaware and
later received an appointment in the
United States Army. The board of
trustees at a meeting last spring elect
ed Lieutenant Hoey military instruct

TO OPEN INDIAN RIVFR TO TRAFFIC

In the Rivers and Harbors Act ap-
proved three weeks ago Congressman
Millers item for the examination and
survey of the Indian River inlet pro-
position for Sussex County was in
cluded therein as it became a law.
Mr.. Miller gave this his personal at
tention, going to Sussex County twice
last winter to view the matter so he
could present it to Congress and he
has been asked by Major Cakes, the
United States Engineer, to send him
the names of the interested parties.
He has written to a number of the
people interested but requests that all
who may not have heard from him to
get in touch with Major Cakes so the
matter can be attended to. If a favor
able recommendation is obtained there
will be a good opportunity for having
the project included in the Rivers and
HarbOrs Act. In all Rivers and Har-
bors matters an appropriation for an
examination and survey must be made
before the Government viii go ahead
with the project and heretofore Con-
gress has refused to appropriate even
for survey, until this bill

DELAWARE STATE FAIR GREATEST EVER

While there will be much to be done
up until the last few days, arrange
ments for the Delaware State Fair at
Wawaset Park, Wilmington, Septem-
Der 4, 6, and s, are well in hand,
and there is every indication that the
management will realize on their
plans to make this the greatest fair
Delaware has yet seen.
It was originally planned to make
Tuesday children's Day, as usual.
when all school children would be ad-
mitted free, but on account of the epi-
demic of infantile paralysis in New
York and Pennsylvania and also in
New Jersey, the Delaware State Board
OF Health has requested that the fair
management cancel this arrangement.
therefore there will be no free day
for children, and furthermore child
ren of 16 and under will not be ad-
mitted to the State fair grounds any
day during the week The fair man
agement will enforce this order.
The exhibits this year will be great
er than ever, and the racing events
promise genuine sport. Much interest
centers in the automobile races on
labor day. also the various programs
Tor the evenings of the fair.

SAILOR DIES OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS

Stricken with infantile paralysis
aboard the American schooner Methe-
besec. which left Philadelphia Tues
day morning for Bangor, Me-, a sailor,
aged q years, whose name was not
learned, was removed to the United
States Marine Hospital at Lewes on
Wednesday morning. The vessel put
into Lewes with a quarantine flag fly
ing, and a government surgeon who
boarded the vessel, removed the sailor
to the hospital. The young man died
there later.
DR.. W. P. Orr, president of the
State Board of Health, who resides at
Lewes, and who was formerly in the
U. S. Marine Hospital service, report
ed the case to Dr.. A. E. Frantz, secre-
tary of the State Board, Immediately.
DR.. Orr was called to see the young
man, but his condition was such that
nothing could be done for him. The
schooner is being held at the Della
ware Breakwater by the government
officials, and it will not be allowed to
depart until a thorough fumigation
has been made and the crew examin-
ed for signs of the disease.
With the discovery of this case. it
was also reported Wednesday morn
ing that Drs. Clifton and Harmonson
Of Clayton, Del, had reported a case
which appeared suspicious. This pa
.ient, a child, resides at Kenton, Del,
and is being closely watched.

DOCTORS DISAGREED

DR.. Frantz, of the State Board OF
Health was in Seaford this week, at
the request of the Seaford Board of
Health, for the purpose of settling a
dispute between members of the
Boards of Health of Blades and Sea-
ford. Owing to the nearness of the
two towns, which are only separated
by the Nanticoke River, it was deem
ed wise to quarantine a case of scar
let fever in the town of Blades. This
the Blades authorities seemed to think
unnecessary and the card was remov-
ed.
Dr. Harrison NJ Manning, physi-
clan for the Seaford Board of HEALTH
was called to attend the patient, and
pronounced it a case of scarlet fever,
a quarantine. Dr.. Charles
H. Carter also pronounced the case
scarlet fever. Another doctor visited
the house, and it is alleged. declared
the case was not one of scarlet fever,
after which the card was removed.
Fearing a possible spread of the
the Seaford board request
ed that Dr. Frantz come to Seaford
and settle the dispute.
The home has been ordered under
quarantine by the State Board of
and the case is now out of
the hands of the Seaford authorities,
so far as quarantine measures are

VICTIM OF FREIGHT WRECK

A railroad wreck of considerable
proportions occurred shortly after
midnight Saturday, just below Dover,
at a place known as the Peterson
Curve It resulted in the death of the
engineer, James Edgar Tweedle, Of
wilmington, who was pinned in the
cab of his car, death being actually
due to strangulation and suffocation
by the escaping steam. Brakeman
W. W. Poe Of the Maryland Division
was scalded, and Fireman Instructor
Walter G.. Lekites had an arm bruis-
ed. while Fireman West was seriously
unnerved by the narrow escape Of all
three from death. While the direct
cause of the accident is known to have
been from running over a d. rail on
the passenger siding, which ditched
the engine and wrecked three cars,
the reason for running over the D.
rail, may never be known, as it was
known to the engineer alone.

NO lNFANTILE PARALYSIS IN MILFORD

A rumOr was circulating about Mil
ford the early part of this week that
a case of infantile paralysis had been
reported among the help at the Torsch
Cannery in Milford. This has been
found to be absolutely false. DR..
Samuel Marshall states that there
has been no sickness at that or any
other cannery in Milford, where he
has been called, and other physicians
corroborate that statement. Every
thing is sanitary, and there is no ill
ness of any nature This is the re-
suit of investigation of the report. The
small Drained people who make state
ments of the breaking out of ter
rible disease, without any authority
for making the statement, should be
rounded up and compelled to occupy
cells in jails; they injure not only the
community, but cause great uneasi-
ness of mind for the people in sur
rounding neighbOrhoods.

DELAWARE SOLDIERS WILL VOTE

The men enlisted in the United
States service now stationed at Dem
ing, New Mexico, in the First Della
ware troops, will vote at that place
on November 7th. and the Governor
will send messengers to bring back
the votes as cast by the men who are
already registered. The laws of Del
aware provide for this particular con-
dition.
The ballots for the districts where
the soldiers have their homes must
be sent from here about seven days
before the election. 1t takes four to
five days to reach Deming and the
ballots must be there the day before
the election. The messengers who go
to Deming to bring back the votes will
vote before leaving Delaware, it is
understood.

counties of Delaware, will convene
and add the votes to the tallies made
from the returns from the various
voting districts of Delaware, and then
only will the official result of the

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
ORDERS SCHOOLS CLOSED

The gradual spread of infantile par
alysis, the disease which has caused
the death of many thousands of chill
dren in New York and Pennsylvania,
also in New Jersey. has caused the
Health Board of Delaware to prevent
this State from becoming infected.
There has already been a dozen deaths
from the disease in Wilmington and
New Castle county. The State Board
of Education has taken charge of the
situation and issued the following or
ders, and explanations for them, viz:
"On account of the fact that teach
ers and children are coming home for
the opening of schools, which is ex-
pected to open in the near future, and
in order to prevent any possible in
fection from infantile paralysis in the
State, which is now under quarantine
against the disease, the following ord
er has been issued by the Board Of
Health:
Wilmington, Del, Aug. 25, 1916.
mo public, private, parochial or
Sunday School in the State shall be
opened for school or religious purpos-
es to children 16 years of age or un-
der between August 25 and September
IS, 1916.
''By order of State Board of Health,
Attest: William P. Orr, M. D.,
president" "
The State Board of Health has ord
cred all Sunday Schools, public
schools and all gatherings of children
under 16 years of age closed until af-
ter September 18TH and possibly long
er. All depends upon the infantile
paralysis disease, which is now spread
ing to all parts of the State. This ap-
plies to all schools and to churches in
all parts of Delaware, and the pen
atty is heavy for disobedience.
The Williamsville, Milford Neck and
Millwood Sunday Schools will be clos
ed until after September 18th.

ISSUING TEACHERS CERTIFICATES

The certificates recommended to be
issued to applicants by the three coun
ty school superintendents have been
authorized by the State Board of Ed
ucation. Much delay in issuing the
certificates has caused inconvenience
and considerable anxiety to teachers
who had taken their examinations sew
eral weeks back. Failure Of some of
the Delaware teachers to send their
annual reports of last years work to
the State Board has caused the sus-
pension of several of the teachers
certificates. Limited elementary GER
tificates have been issued to 13 teach
ers in New Castle county; 26 in Kent
county and q in Sussex county.
