Soldiers Aid Bill
is Sent to House
REFERS MEASURE
WITH PROBABLE PROVISION
FOR CASH COMPENSATION.

Soldier relief legislation, with pro-
bable provision for cash compensa-
ton funds for which would be raised
by bond sales or luxuries taxes, was
approved by the House ways and
means committee by a vote of Is to
o. Details of the bill to be recon-
mended will be worked out by sub
committees.
Members of the committee hope to
obtain final action by the House be-
fore. the contemplated recess for the
National Political conventions. but
they express doubt when action by the
Senate could be had at this session.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, after confer

issue. 1t is understood to have been
submitted by Representative Long

of the courthouse staff of officials
whose names come before the voters
The first is that of A R. A. Laudon,

of the voters, and both of them should

HINT BUSINESS BOYCOTT
Writer Suggests Attack
ON Senator L. NJ. Prices PhOs-
phate Interests


Enemies of the school code Thurs
day resorted to "blackhand" tactics in
an anonymous letter received by Sen
ator L. M. Price of Smyrna and read
in the Senate, says the Wilmington
Morning News. The letter threaten
ed the destruction of the phosphate
business in which he is engaged by
boycott should he fail to vote for a
measure to repeal the code.
On top of this the Senator also re-
ceived a petition signed by 27 farmers
urging repeal of the code. The un-
signed letter follows:
Smyrna, March 22-L. M. Price
The farmers demand that you vote
against the new school code. Don't
sell them out for a few pieces of
dupont silver. Mr.. Price you have
been very ungrateful to those that
have given you all you have and put
you where you are. The question
with you is phosphate or no phOs-
phate. Your vote will decide it."
Senator ]. F. Alice, Jr., condemned
the letter in vigorous language and
stated that only the lowest type of
citizen would stoop to such a nefar-
ious act. Anyone who is ashamed to
sign such letter, the Senator assert
cd, was too ashameless to be given
any consideration.
Friends of the code have no fear
that any plan put into operation will
effect it's repeal. Senator Bennett, of
Sussex county has arranged for a
conference between opposing factions
on the code, so that any exchange of
views may be secured upon which to
base a program of amendments to
remove the Objectionable provisions.
This session will in all probability be

LAUREL MAN UP FOR FORGERY
Raymond ]. Hill Alleged to Have
Signed Checks for $500

Raymond ]. Hill, aged about 27, re-
Gently married, and son of respec-
ted farmer of Laurel is locked up on
the charge of forging the name of
George D. Hastings, farmer.
Wednesday morning Hill went to
the store of Walter T. Smith, who is
a director of the bank to fill in the
check for $93, so he could sign it.
Hill, it is said, signed the name of
Mr.. Hastings and went to the bank
and got the money.
Later Mr.. Smith became suspicious
and went to the bank to see the check
He then explained his part and asked
that Hill be apprehended. When ar
rested Hill at first denied that he
had signed the check, but confessed
when confronted by Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Hastings who, in the meantime,
had been summoned. An examina-
ton of Mr.. Hastings cancelled checks
showed that Hill had forged eight
since January 16. The total amount
aggregated more than $500. So much
like Mr.. Hastings own signature were
the forgeries that he had difficulty in
distinguishing them from the genuine
They were written on a different kind
of blank, however, from those used
by Mr.. Hastings.
Hill had a bad record, having SER
we'd terms in Jail and the Delaware
workhouse for stealing. 1t is said
Hills young wife, who knew nothing
of his past record, has offered to re-
imburse the bank for its loss, provid-
ed the case is dropped. The state
authorities, however, are reported as
objecting to settlement.
