SMALLPOX DANGER OVER

DR.. H. R. Burton, president oi
Lewes Board of Health, says that
practically all danger of smallpox
contagion in that community has
passed. Professionally he also said
that his patient, Elmer Outten Of Do
yer. and the duarantined members of
the Outten family, were all getting
along well. "All vaccinations put in
the children and adults on Sunday.
August 8, had taken WE'LL" he said,
"and none of them are very sick in
my judgment. By next Monday or
Tuesday, if no other case develops, I
think it will be safe to let the Outten
family go home and have the Russell
house fumigated There is not a sus-
picious case in Lewes and none like
ly to be-"
William A. Russell, whom the Out
ten family were visiting, had only
recently sold his home to a Milton
woman, to take possession September
1. He will move to a farm out of
town. He has not been allowed to
enter his premises, being restricted
to /, the use of an out house. His
daughters also are quarantined.

HOG CHOLERA SPREADING
VETERINARIAN ZURKOW TELLS OF In
FICTION In KENT AND SUSSEX.

United States Veterinarian NJ. L.
Zurkow, in statement made at Dow
er this week says reports reaching his
Office from every county indicates
that hog cholera is on the increase
and is spreading quite rapidly in Del
aware. Areas of Infection now exist
at Georgetown, Bridgeville. Lewes and
several other sections of Sussex
county. Kent county has an infection
near FELTON,, Dover and Smyrna. New
Castle county veterinarians report
cholera at Middletown. Vaccination
before the hogs contract the disease
will positively protect against chol-
era and no one need take the risk of
losing their hogs under the present
circumstances when the State is fur
nishing free serum. The loss of one
hog will more than pay for the vet
erianariG's fee.
The administration of serum to
hogs while it protects them against
cholera does not in any way injure
the meat. as the material used is not
a drug or medicine, but pure, clean
blood from a healthy hog containing
cholera protective qualities.
The Federal government and the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board are
prepared to assist any community in
controlling cholera and checking its
spread. Farmers are requested to re-
port sick swine of their own or
neighbors. The law requires dead
hogs to be buried or burned and the
board will enforce this law in every
case reported.

BAG AND $4,000
INTACT Is FOUND
WAS TURNED OVER TO MISS SNYDER
FRIDAY AFTERNOON BY CHARLES
CONNER OF MAGNOLIA.
MADE A HAPPY WOMAN
THE FINDER SENT LETTER To WRONG
ADDRESS In NOTIFYING OWNER OF
HAVING HER VALUABLES.

Miss Mary H. Snyder Of Bellefonte,
Pa, who on Sunday, August 18th, lost
from an automobile while enroute
from Milford, a handbag containing
liberty bonds and diamonds valued
at $4,000. was made happy woman
last Friday afternoon when the hand
bag with all its contents was return
ed to her.
The bag with contents was found
by Charles Conner of Magnolia and
the fact that Miss Snyder did not re-
ceive word promptly that he had the
bonds and diamonds in his possess
ion was due to a misunderstanding
as to where a letter would reach her.
Mr.. COnnor as soon as he learned
that the yaluables that he found on
the road belonged to Miss Snyder.
Wrote to her explaining that he had
found the bag but the letter was sent
to BellefOnte. Pa Mr.. COnnOr being
under that impression that it would
reach Miss Snyder there.
Miss Snyder, however, had gone to
Baltimore and consequently the let
ter was some days reaching her. Miss
Snyder with relatives arrived in Do
yer Friday afternoon and with State
Detective Wharton went to Mr.. Con-
nor's home where the bag with liber-
ty bonds and diamonds was turned
over to her.
Miss Snyder had taken the bonds
and diamonds from safe deposit
box at Bellefonte and was taking
them to Milford when the bag was
lost

LEGAL INTEREST TO
REMAIN The SAME
FOR WILMINGTON BANKERS DENY THE
STATEMENT OF ATTEMPT TO Sc
CURE HIGHER RATE.
ONE ADMITS HEARING TALK
MAY BE SOUGHT BY PERSONS OUTSIDE
OF BANKS WHO ARE INTERESTED
In MORTGAGES.

Four Wilmington bankers deny the
statement which appeared in a Phil
adelphia newspaper that a bill will
be presented to the next legislature
/ to increase the legal rate of interest
in the State from the present six per
cent rate to either seven or eight per
cent.
John S. Rossell, president of the
State Bankers Association, and pres
ident of the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company, of Wilmington, de-
clared he believed 'the report is
wholly without foundation" and that
he has never heard anything that
will justify any such report.
Robert P. Robinson, president of
the Central National Bank, of Viii
mington, was of the same opinion as
I Mr.. Rossell. Mr.. Robinson said he
was a member of the State Bankers
Association and the Clearing House
Association and had not heard of any
such rumOr at either of those asso-
cations meeting.
Il believe l would have heard of
it, were any bankers or others con-
templating such a move" Mr.. Robin
son declared, "and consequently, l
do not believe there is going to be
any attempt made to bring such bill
before the legislature. At least, it
has not been spoken of in banking
circles and it appears to me they
are the persons who are vitality in
terested in such affairs."
John H. Dandy, president of the
Union National Bank said he had
not been informed of any such move
and believed the statement was with
out justification. Mr.. Dandy said he
could not "see any reason for such
a move"
John S. BogucBi, one of the men
interested in the new Polish bank
to be instituted in Wilmington, said
he had heard some by-stander, not
interested in banking speak of the
matter, but so far as he knew there
had been nothing done about the
matter. His bank, he declared, had
done nothing with regard to the bill
and did not contemplate doing any
thing.
There was some talk" Mr. Bo-
guch said, that it would be done
because mortgages can't be obtained
here under the present rate of in
terest, but I cannot verify such state
ments. They were mentioned by per-
sons with whom I am interested in
business and cannot remember who
they were.
"At any rate, do not believe it is
true and do not see any reason-at
the present time for such a move,''
Mr.. Boguch concluded.

PRAISES STATES CONCRETE

S. P. Leeds. president of the Allan
tic City Chamber of Commerce
known in New Jersey and beyond his
own state as the champion of perma-
nent roads and the foe of the social
ed patent-road interests, toured Del
aware recently as the guest of Char
les Upham, state highway engineer,
for the purpose of inspecting the du
Pont boulevard.
While waiting at the du Pont hotel
for the automobile which was to car
ry him over Delaware's noted high
way, Mr.. Leeds spoke in the highest
terms of the work done by Mr.. Up
ham for this state. Il have the high
vst respect fU1 f,iI. UpiaIn as an en-
gineeT." Mr.. Leeds said. Il know of
no other engineer anywhere who
maintains state roads at a lower cost.
Besides, Mr.. Upham built the roads
at first cost, which is in itself a re-
markable performance"

MUNICIPAL PARK

Rehoboth is to have its own muni-
ciDal park through the generosity of
B. F. Shaw, of Wilmington, who is
one of the commissioners. At the
canal. where at present a number of
boats are kept, many persons con-
gregate on the boat landings to fish
and catch crabs. Mr.. Shaw saw the
need of a resting place for people
who went there and secured the per-
mission of the commissioners to make
the grove on the top of the bank of
the canal, into a park. At his own
expense he will have the grove clean
ed out, rest benches and tables for
lunch built and large landing put
in place. 1t will be named Canal

FIRST DROWNING AT REHO-
BOTH BEACH FOR THE SEASON

The ocean claimed it's first victim
of the summer at Rehoboth Beach
last Monday, when Frank Dutton,
twenty-one years, of Chester, an ear
ly morning bather, lost his life off
UIIVe avenue.
An effort to save the young man,
who was sighted struggling in a
heavy sea by the few early morning
beach strollers, was made by Peace
Cody, of Baltimore. Despite the fact
that Cody, an expert swimmer and
the holder of the intercollegiate rec
ord, made almost superhuman efforts
to reach the drowning man, the heavy
sea proved too much of a barrier and
DuttOn was swept oceanward out of
sight.
His body was swept ashore later
and DR.. Richard Beebe, who made the
examination advanced the belief that
Dutton was the victim of heart dis
ease, which resulted in his drowning.
Dutton with his family, reached here
Saturday, intending to remain a week.

THE BROWNING RECITAL

The appearance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mortimer Browning in recital has
come to be the musical event of the
summer in Milford and last Tuesday
evening in spite of the inclement
weather. a capacious audience of the
music lovers of the community gath
cred in the spacious parlors at the
home of Senator and Mrs S. John ABB
bott, and gave the young artists an
enthusiastic reception.
Mrs. Brownin, whom we all remem-
Der as Pauline Abbott, made a prais-
worthy impression. and by her ap-
pearance, her vocal art, and her
charming personality, won much ap-
plause. Especially noteworthy was
her singing of "The Little DamoseIS
by Novello; an aria from ''HerOd-
iade," and a group of American songs.
Mrs. Browning's voice is of lovely
lyric quality, ease of breath control
and clearness of dictation being
among the many good qualities Of
her singing.
Mortimer Browning, as has been
noted in the Chronicle before, has
just recently won the first prize
scholarship given by Percy Granger,
the famous Australian pianist and
composer, in a comparative contest.
Mr. Browning in this recital scor-
ed a musical triumph, breaking all
past records in his former perform
ances here. He possesses remarkable
versatility, and has unlimited techni-
que with which to meet the demands
which such an exacting program made
upon him. 1t was noted that the soft,
quiet numbers were clothed with
much atmosphere, the singing quail
ity of his tone being very evident in
the ''Vesperale," by Scott, and in
the Chopan prelude.
