HATTIE WILMER
WILL RECOVER
Boy Accused Of Shooting Her
Still In Workhouse

Hattie Wilmer, the l3-year-old
girl who was shot late last Friday
night in the right breast and tax
Ell to the Delaware Hospital, is i'm
proving. At the hospital it was
stated today that her condition is
favorable and that she will re-
cover if there is no set back.
Ernest Emigh, aged II years,
who was with the girl when she
was shot and who was held under
$4,000 bail by Magistrate Lovett
on a charge of assault with in
tent to commit murder in connec-
tion with the shooting, is still in
the WorkhOuse in default of bail.
The shooting which took place
along the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad tracks a short distance
east of the college athletic field,
continues to be more or less sur
rounded with mystery principally
due to the different accounts of
the affair alleged to have been
told by the principals. There are
also several material points in
connection with the affair, accord
ing to the officers which do not
fit in with the account told by both
the girl and boy.
The first that was known of the
shooting was when Emigh about
1000 o'clock Friday night arrived
at the home of John Price about
200 yards from where she is sup
posed to have been shot carrying
the unconscious girl in his arms.
According to Officer Apsley, the
boy first said two men, strangers
to him, had shot Hattie and the
following morning at his hearing
he claimed that the girl took his
revolver to look at and accident
ally shot herself. Hattie is also
alleged to have said that she did
not know who shot her and later
claimed that she shot herself ac-
cldentallY with Emlgh'S revolver
not knowing it was loaded.
The revolver, a % calibre, was
found l25 feet from where the
shooting was supposed to have
happened. The boy lived with his
parents on Cleveland Avenue
while the girl, whose mother lives
in Wilmington, was boarding in
Deandale. Both had been work
ing in the cannery.

One Version of 1t

Wilmington on Sunday, August
~, had another little symptom of a
virtue. if we may call it such, that
breaks out every once in while
and lasts for a day or a week and
then passes away until the power
and the motive behind this whim-
sical idiosyncrasy find another i'm
pulse or is overwhelmed by some
other stupidity.
We went to the cigar store
where we fill our pipe and we
found the door closed and were in
formed by habitue who was out
side that the police had insisted
that the door will be closed altho-
ugh there was no prohibition on
the business.
We went to the street corner

most tearfully gathering up his
stock.
"A policeman" he said had
ordered him away. ut will mean
only" he continued, that some
one else who will brave the auth
critics which | will not do will get
my stand and | have lost out be-
cause | respect the law"
While this was going on, thou
sands of pleasure seekers were
seeking a holiday on train and
boat. Hundreds of automobiles
were fitting about with eager peo-
pie seeking that relaxation and
pleasure which their instinct tells
them the human creature must
have or it will break.
The motor cab or taxi facilities
of the city were taxed beyond their
capacity in carrying people to
Brandywine Summit Camp. Pleas
ure seekers were going or prepar-
ing to go in every direction.
The cigar store, the shoe sinner
and the newsboy, had to close their
doors or get off the job.
What farce it all is. What a
comedy it would appear if it did
not remand you and compel you
to think of something which is
connected with it and is not COM
edy but tragedy.
Are we unjust when we say that
in our humble opinion the people
who urged this farce had numer-
Gus ways of enjoying themselves
and easy ways of making living?
Will we be accused of benig un-
just when we suggest that many
of these have money and time to
spare and means at their disposal
to seek what they want and the re-
Taxation they need in their own
way and in ways that would brook
of no restraint and restrictions.

is moral. Perhaps they think such
restrictions are religious. God
save the mark!

263 pounds, the highest record in
any of the tests. About 80 pounds
were required for hauling on BIZ
luminous macadam. On earth
roads 90 pounds were required for
hauling over a good surface cover
ed with - inches of loose dust,
80 pounds over an ordinary dirt
road with dust 2 inches deep in
places, and 2l8 pounds over
muddy earth road.
The significance of these figures
lies in the fact that on a good
earth road it is necessary to exert
three times the pull that is requir
ed on a concrete road and nearly
twice the pull required on mac
adam road. Furthermore, when
the earth road becomes muddy, a
condition which does not affect
traffic on good pavements, the pull
is more than doubled.
What this last means to the
farmer can be best explained by
working backward to him from the
great financial centers of the coun-
try. During the winter and early
spring Bradstreet's Agency fire.
ouently sends out statements say
ing, Bank clearings affected by
the usual seasonal conditions"
This statement might mean more
if it's equivalent were also printed,
Bank clearings were affected by
the usual muddy roads of the sea-
SON." When roads are bad the
country store-keeper does little
business, which means that the
country bank does little business.
Whenever business is slack in the
country bank the financial cen
ters of the country at once feel its
effect. While bank clearances fall
off, the city merchant finds that
his business with the country falls
off. 1t is largely the muddy roads
that check the normal intercourse
between the country store and the
farmers doing business with it.
In another way the financial re-
port reflects the condition of bad
roads. The farmer who has to
spend a day to go to the country
store and return, and finds it a
long hard journey at the best,
counts the cost Of these trips as
part of the high cost of living, for
the time spent on them he desires
to use in working on his farm. And
so the farmers wife performs the
daily miracle of stretching his in
come to seemingly impossible
extent and makes his hard-earned
dollars 60 farther than any of his
sisters do except, possibly, the
wife of the country parSOn. Where
thrift is carried to such a degree,
the country store cannot expect to
do big business, and this con-
dition will be reflected, as above
explained, through the entire sys-
TEN of financial links reaching to
New York. Chicago and San Fran
cisco. Good roads will go a long
ways toward eliminating the bad
effect of these seasonal conditions
on the country's general prosper
ity.

Some Figures On The
Value OF Good Roads

An energetic and influential or
ganization on the Pacific coast, the
California State Automobile AS
sociatiOn, has carried on some in
vestigations affording definite fig
ures of the value of good roads.
It secured the help of Prof. J. B.
Davidson of the University of
California and Austin B. Fletcher
State Highway Engineer, in car
rying on q large numbers of tests
of the pull required to move a
stadard farm wagon loaded to
make the gross weight 5000
pounds. This wagon was hauled
in some cases by a 2-ton truck and
in other cases by team of good
draft horses weighing about 1000
pounds each. Tests have shown
that a pull Of 27 to 80 pounds per
ton of gross load was needed to
haul the wagon on unsurfaced
concrete roads. When the concrete
was surfaced with oil and screen
ings, the pull was increased to
about so pounds. About 65 pounds
were needed for hauling on water
bound macadam and on bitumin-
Gus concrete laid on top of cement
concrete On good gravel roads a
pull of 65 to 80 pounds was needed
while on lose gravel the pull was

city surrounded with disease
breeding environments. Is 1t
moral to have markets which are
unsanitary and robber prices pre-
vailing? Is it moral to have eager
anxious people in Christian COM
munity having their houses sold
over their heads and no place left
for them to go.
The open cigar store! The news
boy on the corner! The shoe shin
ing shop! God help us!
The crowded excursion boat! The
roads crowded with the motor cars
OF the JOY riders! the camp meet
ing pleasure seekers the crowded
trolley cars, all these and more,
but the newsboy, and the cigar
store, and the shoe sinner. Honest,
friend, is it not beneath contempt
to have such things? Frankly be-
tween man and man, should not
the police department which we
do not blame, send out their orders
in writing with the name of the
complainants signed or at least
made known? Who are they who
spasmodically insist on these lido
tic raids? How do they live? What
do they do on Sunday? Why do
they interfere with me?
Immoral! Immoral! There is
more immortality in the. housing
and market conditions in Whining
ton with only a protest here and
there by man or two condemned
as cranks there is more immoral
ity in the markets and housing we
speak about than there is in all
the numerous things we have in
Wilmington which are organized
against and for which there are
"a multitude of crusaders.
