GEORGETOWN, Del, July 2l.-
Charged with the shooting down and
slaying Of Postmaster Ebe I. Lynch in
front Of his place of business at Lewes
late Tuesday night, following dis.
agreement over the signing of players
for the baseball team, DR.. William A.
Parker yesterday afternoon was taken
before Justice of the Peace Samuel r.
Wilson for a hearing. He was accom-
panied by John NJ. Richardson, one Of
his counsel, TO the magistrates Office.
4 hearing was waived and the dentist
was remanded to the custody Of Sheriff
JACOB West without bail
Mrs. Parker came here from Lewes
yesterday and accompanied by the at.
torneys, Messrs. Richardson and Lay.
ton, went into the Jail TO her husband,
where a long consultation was held.
DR.. William F. Blackstone was
sent for by Dr. Parker yesterday and
examined the bruises on his face and
head which Dr. Parker claims were
received during the scuffle in Post
master Lynch's restaurant. A tele-
gram has been received in Lewes
from the hospital to which Jacob
Bamberger, the jewelry salesman
who was shot in the abdomen, had
been taken stating that his condition
is serious. Bamberger was standing
down the street in front Of the store
Abraham Gutowitz, when Dr. Parker
fired the fatal shot at Lynch. One
Of the pellets punctured the abdomen
while other shots hit Abe, Bessie and
Irene Gutowitz.
Funeral services OF Lynch were
conducted this afternoon at 2 o'clock
by the Rev. o. K. Jones. OF the Lewes
Methodist Episcopal Church. The fu-
neral was one of the largest
that has ever been held in Lewes.
Persons from all parts of the county
we're in attendance and many per-
sons from upstate are expected
DR.. Parker is considered one of the
best dentists in the State. and about
a year ago was appointed by Governor
Miller a member of the State Board OF
Dentistry.
II is believed that the death Of Mr..
Lynch, who has been acting as post
master since the expiration of his
term because OF the failure Of Senator
Salisbury TO make a recommendation
for the office. will have a tendency 10 |
hasten the appoint, which has been |
hanging fire since March.

East. The order stated that no troops
should be sent 10 the border unless
they are thoroughly organized and
completely equipped Tn last words
have baked the department command

tion Of the word.

department will order them away IL
wishes 10 make certain this point. JUS
as soon as the department is satisfied
on this point. the order that will send
Delaware to Demig, New Mexico, is ex

UNFAIR REVENUE
BILL scored By
DUPONT COMPANY
Tax Measure DiScriminateS
Against Munitions Makers,
Says P. S. dupont
MEMORANDUM ALSO Sent
OUT TO STOCKHOLDERS

2. I. DUPONT de Nemours and Com
pany, through Pierre S. DUPONT. presi-
dent, has sent letter to each stock
holder calling attention to the war"
revenue bill that has passed the
House and is now pending in the
Senate at Washington. In a letter
accompanying the memorandum to
stockholders, President DUPONT says:
"A bill has passed the House Of
Representatives in Washington, and
is now pending IN the United States
Senate which singles out the manu-
facturers of gunpowder or other ex-
plosives for special, drastic taxation.
i enclose herewith a memorandum
giving information relative to the bill.
The proposed law is unfair and
unjust, and in every way so out
rageously discriminatory as to be in
defensible.
II suggest that you communicate
With your Senators and Representa-
dves in Washington, giving your
opinion of this measure and asking
their assistance in defeating IT,"
Protest to Congress.
Publicity has just been given in
Washington to a letter written by
Pierre s. DUPONT president of E. l.
DUPONT de Nemours and Company, to
Congressman Claude Kitchin chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee OF the House. opposing the feature
OF the war revenue bill that dis
eliminates against manufacturers Of
explosives and munitions.
Mr. duPOnts letter is a clear pre-
sentation against the excessive tax
alton schedule proposed in the rev.
enue bill which already has been
passed by the House and is now pend
ing in the Senate finance commit
tee
II Is pointed out that the bill means
double taxation for the munitions
making-because they pay an income
or corporation tax on net income and
a special munitions tax on gross re-
ceipts
The argument is also advanced that
manufacturers of other articles that
have been exported in large quanti-
ties and at high prices escape special
taxation, the munitions makers be-
ing singled out in casting about for
a levy on war orders"
For instance, the DUPONT company
says that millions of dollars worth
of automobiles. aeroplanes and parts
rubber and woolen goods have gone
10 the beliigerents. but there has been
no proposal TO tax this class of war
trade.
While admitting that munitions
makers have had good contracts and
dividends. attention is called to the
temporary nature of the traffic and |
the vast improvements that have been
made at heavy expense to meet the /
demands.

The fact is, the Catholics have no
