picious circumstances sometime be-

the result of too much alcohol was
rendered All of the men arrested
told practically the same story to the
effect they left Milford in company
with the Clendaniel woman and her
sisters shortly after ten o'clock for
Cedar Beach. When they arrived
there, so they stated, they all got
out of the wagon with the exception
of the woman, who was later found to
be dead. They stated that they
thought she was too drunk to get out.
The crowd left for Milford aDOuJ TOUR

al David J. Reinhardt. instructed the
local authorities to hold all of the
men for hearings at Georgetown on

ferent phases of the case have been

MUST STOP EXPLOSIVES ON JULY 4TH

In Wilmington they are consider
ing and will adopt an ordinance which
will prohibit the sale and explosion
of firecrackers or firearms in the city
on that day and until after the ter
minatiOn of the present war.
This action will probably be follow
ed by every town in Delaware, and it
will be source of keen disappoint-
ment to the youth who nave always
looked forward to July 4th as the
time they can go the limit in making
a noise. The new ordinance, how
ever. will put stop to all this.
1t will prohibit the sale or expos
ing or casting. throwing or firing of
any fireworks within the city limits,
on and after the date on which the
ordinance is passed and signed by
Council and the mayor. 1t will pro-
vide a severe penalty for any viola
tions of the provisions of the law, and
the Police Department will see that
the new law is strictly and literally
complied with by the wholesale and
retail dealers and all other persons.
Action is to be taken at an early
date, in order to give the dealers
warning, and thereby save them the
expense of laying in a stock of fire
works. which they could not later sell
without violating the law. The ord
nance will not even permit the offer
ing for sale of fireworks. The pro-
lection of all residents, it is said. is
the underlying motive Of the new act.
While its provisions will embrace in
particular July 4, the sale or use of
explosives or firearms will be abso-
lutely forbidden until at least the end
of the war.
