SUGGEST SUPREME

EXECUTIVE ILLNESS
HOUSE IS GIVEN TWO PROPOS-
AIS AIMED TO CURE EVILS OF
PRESENT SYSTEM WHICH
LEAVES u. S. WITHOUT AN EX-
ECUTlVE.

Washington, Feb. 10 President
Wilson's extended illness and the at
tendant discussion as to whether he
was incapactated from continuing his
duties gave rise today to two pro-
lUsals in the house to clarity and
supplement constitutional provision
on the subject.
1t was made clear, however. that
neither proposal was aimed at Presi-
dent Wilson, the intent being to de.
fine the procedure for future emer-
gencies beyond any possibility Of
demonstration or partisan action.
Supreme Court Arbter.
The first proposal was in the form
OF resolution for a constitutional
amendment, introduced by Represent
tativo Fess of Ohio. chairman of the
republican congressional committee.
proposing to have the supreme
court determine the ability Of
president to discharge his duties
whenever authorized by a concurren,
resolution Of congress.
II congress was not sitting when
the emergency arose, the vice presi-
dent would be authorized to can

unless the Constitution expressly
judge of the disability of the execu-
tive Mr.. Fess said, at is argued
that it cannot safely be allowed by
inference, especially would this be
true where the two departments
might belong to different political
parties
The uncertainty OF the cOnstitu-
tional question would strongly argue
the wisdom If not necessity of an
amendment, pointing the way out OF
possible embarra ssment.
Virtually the same procedure was
outlined in bill introduced by Rep. |
resentative Rogers, republican. OF
Massachusetts. and referred to the |
Judiciary committee along with the /
Tess resolution
Court May Restore
1t would provide that the supreme /
court on the request Of the senate or
house should determine whether the /
president lis able to DISCHARGE the |
powers and duties OF the office with

The same tribunal would be all-
thorized to say whether the presi-
dents inability had been removed.
in which case he would be restored
to Office
Nobody knows what constitutes
inability, or how it shall be deter
mined Mr.. Rogers said yet the
decision may be of supreme cOnse-
quence to the nation

icle, says:
For more than forty years l have
received the Milford Chronicle each

more and more. Recently / saw an
advertisement in it of a public sale
which was to be held by my brother
in Milford; and, knowing that he had
several relics which were once own
ed by my mother, l attended the sale,
where 1 secured several articles,
among the number being a small
rocker and a doll which my mother
had when she was child many, many
years ago, or nearly a century ago.
The dress of the doll is a little out
of style as style goes in these days
but just the same it is cherished, and
with the rocker, is in my possession.
can not reconcile having the doll
in a new dress of the present day

a pleasant memory to connect with
that of my mother 81 years ago.

FLOUR MILL BURNED
THE LINDALE PLANT AT WYOMING WAS
DESTROYED LAST SATURDAY.

Fire shortly after midnight last
Saturday morning, totally destroyed
the large Lindale flour mill. at wy
oming, owned and operated by Will
liam and Mifflin Jenkins and Mr..
Downham. The mill proper, together
with all machinery and equipment. is
total loss.
The owners had within the past year
or so installed new machinery at a
cost of $4,000. There were large
quantities of flour in the barrel and
bag ready for shipment, as well as
large quantities of corn, wheat, bran
and other general flour and feed
stuffs.
Because Of the intensity of the heat
and the start the fire had before it
was discovered. it was impossible to
save anything. the Dover, Camden and
Wyoming firemen directing their ef-
forts toward preventing the sparks
from reaching adjacent properties.
While the mill was located near the
pond, it was impossible to even get
within standing distance of the stream
to secure water.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but as reports to the owners are to
the effect that when the fire was first
discovered one of the lower doors of
the mill was noticed to be open and
also that fire started apparently in
the center of the mill, this has led
the owners to believe that the fire
was of incendiary origin.
The loss could not be estimated by
the owners that morning. it being ap-
parent, however, that it will total
from $4,000 to $4,000.

TO REVISE SCHOOL LAWS

Three county conferences on mat
ters educational have been called by
the Citizens Committee, recently ap-
pointed by the hold-oyer senator's OF
Delaware. These conferences will be
held at the county seat of each county:
Wilmington, Dover and Georgetown
on Tuesday, November 80, 1920, at 10
a. m.
The conferences will be composed
OF members of the Citizens Commit
tee who live within the county, men,
bers of the boards of education of the
special school districts within the
bounds of the county and the local
trustees of the county school districts.
The purpose of the conference is to
discuss suggested changes in the
present organization and administra-
tion of the Delaware school system
Various suggestions have been made
and the committee wishes to discuss
them frankly with the citizens who
are now the elected representatives of
the people in charge of the schools
IN the various districts of the State.
The topics to be discussed at the
conference will be determined by the
conference itself after it is called to
order, but the Citizens Committee has
suggested that the discussion shall
include various topics related to the
present organization and administra-
ton of our school system, consolida-
tion of schools and the transportation
of children, school costs and school
taxes.
Meetings will be held in the State
House at Dover in the Court Room at
Georgetown and in the High School
at Wilmington.

FIRE SWEEPS BUSINESS

NINE BUILDINGS DESTROYED SATURDAY
MORNING WITH PROPERTY L0SS0F
APPROXIMATELY $4,000.
OTHER TOWNS RUSHED AID
GE0RGEN0WN, LAUREL AND MILFORD
FIRE COMPANIES RESPOND TO
CALL FOR HELP.

Fire, of unknown origin, swept over
one square of the business section of
the town of AIillsboro Saturday NOR
ming last, and destroyed property to
the approximate value of $4,000. The
fire was discovered shortly after one
o'clock when flames were seen issu-
ing from the building owned by j. A.
Burton, and tenanted by several mer-
chants. In the Burton building were
located the general merchandise store
of Charles Godfrey & Son; the barber
shop of Layton and Houston; the meat
market of Charles II. Rogers, and the
shoe store owned by Albert Britting-
ham. The building, together with the
contents of these four stores were a
total loss. 1t is estimated that the fire
did damage amounting to $4,000 in
this building. The insurance was
about S2500 Adjoining the Burton
building on Main street was the un-
dertaking establishment and dwelling
owned and operated by II. 3. Hick-
man. The dwelling had just been re-
modelled at cost of S25O0. Mr.. Hick-
man estimates his loss at not less
than $4,000, with $4,000 insurance.
Adjoining the Hickman property was
the dwelling owned by Robert l.
Houston. The loss on this property
was $4,000, with insurance of $3.50.
On State street the potato house
owned by John Lingo, of H. B., was
burned together with its contents of
5000 baskets of sweetpOtatoes. The
large barn owned by Mr.. Lingo was
also destroyed. zoo baskets OF corn.
together with a quantity of fodder and
hay had just been placed in the build
ing. Some insurance was carried, but
not enough to cover the loss.
When it was found that the flames
were beyond the control of towns
people, a call for aid was made to
the surrounding towns. GEORGETOWN
responded with its apparatus. but
having no pump could not do much
good. Laurel responded with its pump
ing truck and the firemen from that
town did good work. The Carlisle Fire
Company from Milford responded. but
when nearing Millsboro they met the
Georgetown firemen returning from
the fire and were told that the flames
were under control.T hey then return
ed to Milford
