When asked IL, In his opinion, the
taste" was caused by a manufacturing
company located on the banks Of the
Brandywine. Mr. Van Trump said today
that he would rather not express his
opinion on this matter. but added that
a thorough investigation was being

any manufacturing establishment or
private house was communicating the

TROUBLE HAS BEEN

DOVER, Feb. 24-An unfortunate in
cident which happened at the Caesar
Rodney Consolidated School near wy
oming. and which caused much com
ment in central Delaware, has appor-
emily been settled satisfactory to all
parties concerned.
According to reports some days ago,
two or three Negro boys were sent from
the Negro school near Wyoming to the
principal OF the Caesar Rodney Con-
solldated School (whlte), on an er-
rand. (As under the new school Code,
Tire principal Of the white schools has
jurisdiction over the Negro schools in
that distrlct)
on entering the principals room,
where a white girl, a member Of the
senior class OF Caessr Rodney was
seated, h Is alleged that the principal
asked the white girl to get UP and give
her seat to the Negro boy, which she
did.
The incident, apparently went unno-
ticed for several days, when it Is said
The white girl told some OF her com
.panions what happened in the princi-
pals room. When these facts became
generally known, II is alleged the feel
ing in the neighborhood was, that the
principal should make an apology to
the girl which it is said he did.
At a meeting OF the taxpayers OF
Caesar Rodney District one night last
week. TO discuss plans for future OF the
school, the above incident was brought
up and a taxpayer OF the district asked
the question as TO whether they were
having mixed schools" The princi-
pal, who was present. was called upon
to make an explanation which II is re-
ported he did explaining In detail the
incident referred to.
As a result Il Is reported that an
agreement has been reached whereby
the Negro pupils or teachers II they
have any business with The principal
Of the white school shall attend 10 II
before $50 o'clock In the morning or
efter 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon.

arrival here Sunday and had only been
out OF the room a short time yesier-

her return she saw Mr.. Fmcett seat

feeling better. At first she paid little
attention to his failure 10 answer her
questions, but finally her suspicious
were aroused, and walking over 10 the
chair she discovered he was dead.
A gaping bullet hole In the roof Of
his mouth showed the cause. Mrs.
faucett at once summoned members OF
