Madison-The state is gradually
clearing itself of bovine tuberculosis
from which it is estimated that 25 per
cent of tuberculosis among children
comes through milk from infected
cows. During the month of September
the state department of agriculture
tested 179 herds containing 4,20l cat
tie. Ninety-three of these lots passed
a negative or clean test, This made
a net gain of so to the federal-state
accredited herd list. The federal gov
eminent is cooperating with the state
in the attempt to stamp out the dis
ease. The total number of state herds
absolutely free from tuberculosis, is
361, according to Dr-J S Healy. Dur
ing the month 971 herds passed one
negative test. There are now under
supervision of the department 1,611
herds.

Ground Broken
Yesterday for
Water System
Addition
Work VIII be Pushed Rapidly
Contractor Prepares to Lay Con-
crete Base for Standpipe

Ground was broken yesterday
by contractor E. H. Robinson, of
Wilmington, for the concrete base
on which the new standpipe will
be erected. This is the initial step
in the water improvement plan
which will be rushed to compile
tion as rapidly as possible.
This work is under construction
on the Snyder property just back
of that upon which the old stand
pipe is located, instead of on the
Wilson propery which was origin
ally chosen as the site. This
chaige of plan was made for the
sake of economy, since it is stated
over 1000 feet of piping and a
corresponding amount of labor
will thus be saved.
The last of the contracts, that
for small pumps for lifting the
water from the wells into the
basin, was awarded last week to
the Dravo-Doyle Co.
/ The bids were as follows:
w. P. BALLET Co. ......... $2,98a
American Wells Works :. 3,17C
Dravo-Doyle Co., ........ $3.50
Because of the fact that the
contract for the larger pumps was
awarded to the latter company
they could install the smaller
pumps at a considerable less fig
ure than the bid shows. For this
reason, the contract was awarded
to them. The contract calls fol
Delaval pumps and Allis Chalmers
motors, considered to be the best
of the kind on the market.

GUNNERS MAY BE ABLE
TO SHOOT RABBITS

According to an opinion ex-
pressed by Senator Thomas F.
Gormley concerning the apparent
defect in the State game laws, an
error made during the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature, in copy
ing an amendment, will probably
make no difference, so far as the
rabbit season is concerned. Owing
to the confusion, resulting from
the error, the game wardens are
expected to enforce the law as it
has been in the pasy, which means
that Delaware gunners will enjoy
the same open season as hereto
fore, unless the State authorities
should make a contrary announce
ment prior to that time.
Senator Gormley explains that
an amendment to the former law
was sent to Dover by the Della
ware Anglers and Game Associa
tion,- and that it was revised by
Attorney Hope in the Senate. It
was passed in the revised manner
and sent to the House where some
objection to a certain point was
raised and it was again re-
drafted. In the rewriting of the
bill, the part referring to rabbits
was entirely omitted. It was pass
ed in this shape by the House and
subsequently concurred in by the
Senate.

STREETS DESERTED
AFTER SUMMER
GUESTS DEPART
Students and Rehabilitation
Unit Leave on Friday

The exodus last Friday after
noon of the 100 Summer School
students and their instructors,
and that of the soldiers compris-
ing the Rehabilitation Unit here,
has made considerable difference
in the life of the town. While a
few Of the Summer School pupils
and instructors were unable to get
away in the afternoon, the ma
iority went on the 2.3S, which
with it's usual quota of newly
weds from Elkton and the general
travelling public, was swamped
With passengers, most of whom in
their joy at the prospect of get
ting home, were entirely satisfied
to stand or to perch upon a seat
lrm until Wilmington was
reached.
The baggage was handled ex-
peditiously by the local baggage
zen and little trouble was expert
enced in this respect, when the
amount to be handled at one time
is considered.
All except half dozen or so of
the soldiers of the Rehabilitation
Unit left on the same day for a
three weeks furlough. Since the
majority are from Central and
Northwestern Pennsylvania, many
went via Newark Center, but
many of these, too, travelled on the
much burdened 2.38. Six or seven
who live at great distances or
who have regular work for after
Moons here, are staying in New.

The streets, the soda fountains
and ice cream parlors are almost

people are on vacation, there are
no moving pictures, and as one
disgusted youth put it "There's
nothing going on except the clock
at the Farmers Trust Company
and even it goes on a strike Of
tener than any thing mas any
business to-.
The excitement over the light
and water situation stirred up the
town to boiling point for saftey's
sake, and has engendered a genia
neighborly feeling which mani
tests itself in new form Of
friendly greeting as friends ant
acquaintances meet. Instead o-
the customary, rather impersonal
"How do you do?" they greet each

LOCAL ELECTRICIAN
MEETS DEATH in PER-
FORMANCE OF DUTY
James T. Willis Receives
Charge of 900 Volts
at Newark Plant

James T. Willis was instantly
killed early Friday morning when
in attempting to throw a switch
at the local electric light plant at
Roseville, II 900 volts of electricity
passed through his body.
Mr.. Willis, with Jacob Shew
and three employees of the Will
mington and Philadelphia Trac-
tion Co., which furnishes Newark
with light and power, were at
tempting to repair break in the
system, the result of the burning
out of a transformer. This oc'
Cured early Thursday evening,
leaving the town in darkness.
About 4 o'clock Friday morning,
Mr.. Willis climbed up the pole to
turn on the switch while Mr..
Shew held a fashlight for his
guidance. The iron pipe which
conveys the switch cord evidently
came into contact with a loose
wire at the top of the pole. Mr..
Willis grasped this pipe to bal
ance himself while he manipulated
the switch, thus making a COM
plete circuit which sent the entire
charge through his body. He fell
from the pole at Mr.. Shew's feet.
The ground was electrified also
and the latter received a severe
shock.
Peculiar manifestations of the
current were evident both at the
top and at the foot of the pole
where huge balls and sheets Of
flame burst forth at intervals.
The ground was so charged that
it seemed impossible to remove the
body. By advice of the company's
employees, Mr.. Shew called the
Wilmington plant to have the cur
rent shut off. No one could be
reused at the power house and the
men fearing that Mr.. Willis body
would be burned, secured a rope
which they threw from a distance
and by means of which they
dragged it beyond the charged
area.
Every effort was put forth to
produce artificial respiration
pending the arrival of a physician
but the unfortunate man was be-
yond any aid.
Undertaken Wilson took charge
of the body, which was removed
to the home of his daughter, Mrs.
C. A. McCue. Funeral services
were held from his daughters
residence at College Farm on Sun
, day afternoon at 2.30 with Rev.
Walter G. Haupt officiating. In
terment was made at Head of
Christiana cemetery.
His wife, one daughter, Mrs. c.
A. McCue, ond three sons, Nor
man Willis, who resides in Pauls-
, boro, New Jersey; Leonce, of
Philadelphia, and William, of
Eddystone, Pa, survice.
Mr.. Willis was &c years old and
had lived in this vicinity for 80 OF
!; more years. He was considered q
very competent electrician anG
was careful and conscientious in
his work.
