GOV. TOWNSEND'S WIFE
DIES AFTER AUTO CRASH
Delaware Executive Also Hurt
When Car Overturns on
du Pont Boulevard
WILMINGTON. Del, oct.2s.

Governor John G. Townsend, Jr.. was
slightly hurt and his wife, Mrs. Jennie l..
Townsend, is dead as the result of the
overturning of their automobile while pro-
ceeding along the du Pont boulevard,
bound for their home at Selbyvile, between
10 and IL o'clock Saturday night. Mrs.
Townsend's death is believed to have been
due TO shock
The accident occurred just after they
had passed Dagsboro. Governor Town
send, Mrs. Townsend, Julian r. Townsend,
their son, and the latters wife, had at
tended the anniversary celebration of the
Womans College at Newark and the cor
nerstone laying of the new dormitory, the
Governor making an address there. They
left Newark late in the afternoon and the
Governor, who was driving, and Mrs.
Townsend, were the only occupants }of the
car after Georgetown was reached, for
there they left Mr.. and Mrs. Julian Town
send at their home.
The Governor and Mrs. Townsend were
oyertaken by a storm after passing Days
poro and due to the darkness and rain, it
was impossible to see far Suddenly a
team without lights loorhed up ahead 1t
was proceeding in the same direction that
they were going. In order to avert a col
llsion, Governor Townsend clamped down
the brakes of his big touring car, with the
result that the machine skidded off the
stone roadway and into the sand shoulder,
he car turning over and landing on its
right side.
Strange as II may seem, the Governor
was not thrown from the machine, but
Mrs. Townsend was pitched from her seat.
Despite his injuries, the Governor succeed
ed In extrcatlng her. The car was not
resting on her body in such a manner as
70 crush it, and apparently her only in
Jury was fractured collarbone. About
ms time a motorist named Truitt, from
Aillsboro, drove up and learning of the
secdent, left his party along the road and
started for Selbyville with the Governor
ana Mrs. Townsend.
Mrs. Townsend only spoke one or two
words after the accident and 1t is not be-
leved that she lived more than ten min
etes. After arriving at the Townsend home
IN Selbyville, Drs. II. T. Evans and George
James were summoned and, following an
examination, they expressed the opinion
mat Mrs. Townsend died from shock. She
nad been complaining of her heart during
the day, 1t is said. and had not been in
me best OF health for some time.
The funeral of Mrs. Townsend will be
held from the Governors residence. Selby-
viiie, Wednesday afternoon, with interment
IN the Red Mems Cemetery. Mrs. Town
send was forty-four years old and known
throughout the State for her charitable

MORE LUXBURGL LETTERS
NOT TO BE AIRED NOW
Held Up by Argentine President
to Prevent Further Pub
lie Excitement
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
Special Gable Seruice Of the United Press and
EUCniuO Ledger.

BUENOS AIRES, oct. 30
Because Argentna's Congress is now i'm
recess President Irgoyeu will probably be
able to prevent any publicity for additional
Luxburg correspondence which, it is gen.
orally believed here, is in the Governments
possession. So long as Congress cannot
direct the making public OF this data, and
so long as the President chooses to hold
it secret there is no legal means to force
its production.
This was the statement from authorita-
tive sources today answering dispatches
from the United States that only Argen-
tina's consent prevented America revealing
mere of the German-Swedish correspon-
dence, the first instalment of which caused
the German Minister'S dismissal here.
Many circles here desire production Of
the additional documents For the most
part these are the pro-Ally adherents.
President Irigoyen has strongly persevered
in a policy of complete neutrality and is
presum ably holding back the documents be-
cause of a desire not TO stir up public feel
ing again

Facts About the Sugar Situation

Our Government has asked you to sugar spar
ingly. We believe that the people Of this country
will be glad to do their part conserve the sugar
supply when they know the facts.
These facts are as follows:
More than two-thirds Of the source Of Europe's
sugar supply is within the present battle lines This
has resulted in greatly reducing the production Of
sugar in Europe
England and France and other countries have been
forced to SO for sugar to Cuba.
Ordinarily. nearly all Of the Cuban raw sugar comes
to the United States and refined here chiefly for
home use. This is not the
