$4,000 DAMAGES WAS
AWARDED MIR. DRAPER
HEARING BY SHERIFF'S JURY MAY 9TH
RESULTS IN LESSENING OF FORMER
AWARDS TO MILFORD MEN.
THEO. HAMMOND GETS $500
THIS sum IS LIKEWISE A REDUCTION OF
The FORMER AWARD MADE BY A
COMMISSION RECENTLY.

The Sheriff's jury, appointed to go
on the premises and hear witnesses,
together with arguments of counsel,
for both George II. Draper and TheO-
dore Hammond of Milford and the
State Highway Commission. on Thurs
day OF last week gave a decision in
both cases. On Wednesday the mem
bers OF the jury. whose names were
published in the Chronicle two weeks
ago. came to Milford and went over
both properties The hearing and
arguments were conducted at the
courtroom in Dover on Thursday
of last week About fifty witnesses
were heard during the day. The con-
census of opinion of the witnesses
summoned by the State Highway De-
partment was to the effect that dam
ages fanged from practically nothing
to a very small amount; while the
witnesses for Draper claimed that the
damage would amount to a sum rang
ing from Sll,5O0 TO as high as Sl5,-
600.
After the witnesses had been heard,
and the arguments completed, the
Jury retired and brought in a verdict
of $4,000 damages for Mr.. Draper, and
81 500 for Mr.. Hammond. At the for
mer trial of the case Mr.. Draper was
awarded $11 .450 and Hammond S2,450.
The case heard last week was on an
appeal from the first award, which ap-
peal was taken by the State Highway
Department.
This is the final action possible in
this case under the laws providing
for appeals.

TRUST COMMITTEE NAMED
DELAWARE FOUNDATION COMMITTEE TO
DISTRIBUTE MONEY TO CHARITIES.

The Equitable Trust Company as
trustee for the Delaware Foundation
announced last Saturday the commit
tee to distribute the income received
from the foundation to the various
charitable organizations in this State.
As set forth in the announcement Of
the Foundation on Lineoln's Birth
day, the committee was to be appointed
BY men high in our public life and
the selections will give general sat
isfaction throughout the State.
To serve on the committee for vary
ing periods, Governor John G. Town
send appointed DR.. Frank L. Grier,
of Milford; Chief Justice James
Pennewill of the Supreme Court Of
Delaware appointed Hon. William d..
Denney, of Dover; Judge Hugh NJ.
Morris of the U. S. District Court, ap-
pointed Mr.. Lammot du Pont; Chan
cellor Charles NJ. Curtis appointed Mr..
Robert d. Kemp, president of the Ar
tisans Savings Bank and the Equit-
able Trust Company appointed Mr..
Frederick b. Stone, president of the
Wilmington Savings Fund Society.
The men named on the committee
are thoroughly conversant with the
conditions existing in their respect
i've counties and are well and most
favorably known for their integrity
and financial experience. Inasmuch as
the Foundation is for the benefit OF
the State as a whole, the needs OF
every section will be known to this
committee and most careful admins
tration of the Foundation is assured.
Opportunity is now given TO per-
sons who desire to give outright,
while living, or to leave a bequest by
a will of any sum of money or other
form of property, the income from
which Is to be devoted to some charity
named by the person or it may be
left at the discretion Of the commit
tee to award where the need seems
greatest and the cause the most
worthy.
The principal advantage of the
Foundation lies in the fact that it will
never die and its perpetual existence
insures the expenditure Of the income
from the Foundation for worthy pur-
poses even though the charity named
by donor might cease TO exist af-
ter a lapse of years.
No sum is too small or too large 10
give to the Foundation as its object is
to gather all the small gifts that will
be made so that the accumulations OF
the years to come will create fund
the income from which will be used to
care for the sick, aged or otherwise
helpless; to improve living conditions
in general; and to provide for .edu-
cational and scientific research for
the benefit of the people as a whole.
No one can foretell the great bene-
fits that will accrue from the Foun-
dation in the years to come, but this
much is certain, every person of great
or modest means may rest assured
that the trust will always be judici-
ously managed and the income spent
as they desire so long as their object
is in existence and afterward for some
other worthy purpose that will make
Delaware a better place to live and
Delawareans healthier and happier.

SCHOOL ELECTIONS
WILL BE HELD UNDER NEW CODE ON
JUNE l9, THROUGHOUT STATE.

While the School Code revisionists
have recommended several changes in
the code as passed a year ago, agect-
ing the government and control OF the
schools. no change was made in the
time and manner of elections of the
county boards of education or the
boards of education Of the special dis
tricts and already preparations are
being made for some lively fights
throughout the State, especially in the
lower part OF Delaware.
A call was issued for a convention
Of the voters Of the rural school dis
tricts OF Kent County for Thursday,
June 3rd. in Dover, looking to the
election OF three members Of the Kent
County Board of Education, which are
elected this year, since the appoint
ment by the governor last year was
but for the one year. The same is
true of the special districts.
The mode for selection and election
of the county boards is defined under
Article of the School Code, which
reads as follows:
"The county school election shall
be by ballot and the names of the can
didates for election to the County
Board Of Education shall be entered
on the ballot alphabetically, and with
out party designation. Nominations
shall be made by petition, containing
/ the written names of not less than 25
qualified voters of the respective
county, outside of the special dis
tricts in the county, and such petition
shall be fled with the clerk OF the
peace not later than Is days prior to
the time of the school election. The
ballots and other needed supplies shall
be provided by the clerk of the
peace"
The law also prescribes the time of
said election, which is the third Sat
urday of June, between the hours of
2 and o'clock. and shall be con-
Quoted by members of the board. On
the Thursday following the election
on the third Saturday in June the
State Board of Education shall as
semble at Dover and canvass the vote
and publicly ascertain and announce
the result Of the election in the re-
spective counties in the State. At this
years election of the three members
elected the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes shall be de-
clared elected for three years; the
next highest two years and the next
highest one year. Thereafter one
member shall be elected each year
for the term of three years.
Indications point to some lively
contests in the two lower counties for
school commissioners or members of
the special districts, especially where
contemplated new buildings and the
purchase of land is the issue.
Should any school district fail to
elect, or hold an election, the members
of the board from such district will
be appointed.
! A meeting was held at Georgetown
last Saturday, for the purpose Of nom
mating members of the County School
I Commission.
