GOVERNMENT WINS
AND LOSES IN THE
PUSEY & JONES SUIT
Company's Suit Against Reduction
of Fleet Corporation Award
is Dismissed.
FORECLOSURE OF LARGE
MORTGAGE STOPPED

According 10 Washington special, the
Government both won and lost IN the
decision handed down yesterday in ltiga-
ton involving the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and the Pusey Il Jones Com
pany of Wilmington, the substance OF
which WAS announced in Every Evening
yesterday.
The decision was. handed down by
Justice Siddons in the District Supreme
Court, which sustained the motion OF the
government to dismiss for want of juris-
diction the suit of the company to prevent
the Fleet Corporation from deducting
from an award in the building OF ships,
but enjoined the corporation from lore
closing mortgage for s5,oOo,oOo on the
company's property.
According to evidence submitted TO
the court, the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion advanced to the company s5,ooo,poo
to aid in completing the construction
of vessels for the board and took a
blanket mortgage on All the companys s
property The mortgage provided that
II might be paid in full or in part out
of the award for compensation for build
ing the ships. !,
The company finally was awarded
81, ,OOO, 900 but the Fleet Corporation
exclaimed the right to make certain de-
ductions which would bring the net
award TO below s4000,oO0. The com
pany protested and the corporation
threatened to foreelose the mortgage.
Justice Siddons held that the court
WAS without authority to determine
the matter of compensation as such
claims are against the Fleet Corporation
as a governmental agency, which can
only be sued in a Court OF Claims. The
mortgage, however, the court held,
was with the company in its capacity
as private corporation and enjoined the
Fleet Corporation from forecloslng until
the company can file IN the Court OF
Claims a suit To recover the amount
of compensation originally awarded.

J, CLARENCE PARKER
KILLED BY TRAIN
Well Known Peninsula Salesman
in Fatal Railroad Accident
at Whaleyville.
Special Dispatch to Every Evening


Laurel, Sept 81. Clarence Parker,
a well-known salesman, employed by
Turner Bros, wholesale grocers of Sails
bury, Md, was instantly killed about $50
last night at crossing at Whaleyville,
few miles west of Berlin, by b., c. 4 A.
railroad special train, in charge of Con-
ductor Laws.
About 500 persons were on the train,
mostly Masons Thirty-hve were from
Laurel, en- route to Ocean City, to par
ticipate in a ceremonial Of the Tall Cedars
of Lebanon.
Parker had been to Ocean City and was
returning to Salisbury, stopping at the
various stores in the towns between. He
was just coming into the village of Whaiey-
vile and was crossing the track at the
main street when it is supposed he was
startled by the whistle of the rapidly APP
preaching special coming around the
curve and almost on him, yet hidden by
the station and freight buildings. He
evidently became confused for the ma
chine stalled on the tracks.
The only witnesses of the tragedy were
Jennie Dale, Clifford Davis, Elizabeth

car and was trying vainly to start the
motor until the engine was almost on him,
when he tried to open the door and jump,
but did not succeed. The special, running
about 40 miles an hour. struck the car
with terrific force, completely demolish-
ing it, crushing and mangling the body Of
the unfortunate man.
Parker was son of Wesley Parker and
was reared in Wicomico county. He was
about 40 years old and leaves a wife and
two children. He was one of the most
popular statesmen on the peninsula.

The object Of the meeting was to formally

For the first tune in the political his
tory Of the State of Delaware" Mr.
Isaacs continued, women have gathered
with the State organization ob q major
political party. The struggle for equal en-
frhnchisement has been n long, and In re-
cent years, a closely contested one. In the
path of the noyenebthave been set up IN

would fall short Of its mission asa party Of

the results Of the orderly processes Of The
law and of the constitution, II it did not
now welcome most heartily the unqualified
enfranchiaement of the wofnanhood of
this State, and Of the country at large.
FOR this organization and for the

prepared 70 welcome you whole-heartediy

with you and all the good women Of the

sTThe privilege Of the ballot has come

through the efforts of the women them
selves. To my knowledge there have been
two active organizations working 10 this
end. OF course, f,rst as there have been
those who have moved forward as rapidly
as poesiblc the suffrage cause, there have
also been those who have opposed the
movement upon conviction. There are
probably in this gathering today repre-.
sentatrvcs OF all these lines of thought and
action. For all those who have favored the
