From authoritative sources it was
learned that a large part of the de-

made by the State treasurer's office
in sending out OF tax blanks At
the bottom OF the blanks was print
ed a list of exemptions, such as
$1,000 for a married man and 5000
for each dependant child. Accord
ing to the new law such exemptions
are not allowable.
Two well known attorneys OF Will

crossed out the exemptions and sent
their checks for the proper amounts
due the State.
Another feature OF the income tax

is causing no little trouble is that in
number OF instances taxpayers
have overpaid the rates on their in

money until the State Legislature

Such conditions, II was said,
naturally have caused irritation and
confusion 1t also was pointed out
that in many instances only a por-

In telling Of his experience to-

although composed. Of fish and crab.
but as he doesn't eat fish, the cat
got the crab. Mr.. Day said he had
his dinner later, but did not mention

TO CONDEMN AGAIN
FOR LINCOLN ROAD

Levy Court, IN session this morn
Ing. awarded $3.50 to Harvey Hof-
fecker. living on the outskirts Of
Newark for land which he conveyed
to New Castle county for use as part
OF the Lincoln Highway Mr.. Hoffeck-
er's land was not condemned by the
commission appointed for that pur-
pose. but was voluntarily turned over
by him.
President Stetser was authorized
TO make application TO Associate
Judge Rice for the appointment OF
a commission TO condemn property
for the route Of the Lincoln Highway
in Mil Creek and White Clay Creek
hundreds. The new commission will
meet on Friday afternoon, August
26, to conduct the condemnation pro-
ceedings. At least five properties are
involved
The change in the route Of the
Lincoln Highway from Rose Hill
bridge and Newark, as advocated by
the New Castle County Highway
Commission, was confirmed by the
court. Several different routes had
been suggested, and the one now
adopted meets with general ap-
proval. This Will mean that the high
way will cross the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at different point
than first suggested.
County Treasurer Burris was au-
thorized to pay the awards for the
property condemned along Section 5

COUNTY CUTS
FIRE SERVICE
No Support Likely After
City Takes Over De-
partment
DEPEND ON
RURAL FIREMEN

From the proceedings OF the Levy
Court this afternoon it Is indicated
that the county will discontinue its
annual appropriations to the VIII
mington Fire Department after It
comes under the new regime OF
paid department on September 1.
The Court after a lengthy recess,
which included a meeting Of the
body as a committee OF the whole,
passed a resolution awarding $50 to
the Liberty, Brandywine, Water
Witch, Union and Fame companies
for services in the county. This rep
resents one-sixth OF the annual ap-
preparation, $500, which was made
heretofore by Levy Court to every
fire company in the city.
Action of the city officials as to
whether they will permit the local
companies to answer county calls is
being awaited by the court In some
quarters the action OF the court is
taken TO mean that the county is not
expecting such assistance.
Companies are now located In the
rural districts at New Castle, New
ark. Oak Grove, Newport, Cranston
Heights and Five Points.
The supposition Is that the
court will depend upon these to take
care OF the entire county. However,
there are no fire companies in Bran
dywine and New Castle hundreds.
Some OF the companies mentioned
are equipped with pumps and some
are not.

catch anybody who might happen to
fall. but no accidents occurred this
morning.
At least two hundred spectators
gathered to witness the stunts OF the
embryo fire-fighters and were much
interested in what was going on.
The training course is under the
direction of Captain Umberkant, Of
the New York fire department, and
Chief Lutz, Of the local department.
The first stunt on the program was
the erection and climbing of scaling
ladders. The first section was put
up to the second floor of the tower.
and then a fireman climbed up, and
hauled up another section Of ladder,
which was fastened to the window
ledge OF the third story.
Another section was erected in the
same manner to the fourth story.
and all the fremen we're required to
climb up to that height. Each man
was strapped to the ladder in such a
way as to protect him against fall
ing. After all the men had climbed
to the fourth story, they were called
by Captain Umberkant to descend
one by one.
On the other side OF the tower an
ordinary ladder was put up, and
the firemen were given instruction in
how to haul hose up the ladder and
on to the roof There is a knack
in the way the rope is knotted
about the hose, and the iremen
seemed to have difficulty in learn
ing how to tie that knot.
The tests will be continued until
all the men become proficient in
erecting scaling ladders. climbing
them, and running hose up ladders
While the age limit for firemer
has been set at As years by the Di-
rectors OF Public Safety. It was said
today one of the men appointed /:

Elkton last night. and is now in jail
to await preliminary hearing. when
he will no doubt be held for the Sep
tember term of court.
When first placed under arrest.
Mannon denied setting fire to the
wheat stacks and robbing the house.
but according to the officers he is
said to have later admitted it. He is
alleged to have said that he fired the
stacks out of "meanness." About
500 in money, a gold watch and
some jewelry was missing from the
trunk at the Cecil home which Man
non is accused OF breaking open with
hammer. When found, he had but
IS in his pockets. After being ques-
toned by the officers he is said to
have admitted that he had hidden
the jewelry and took them TO a sand
pile where some OF it was recov-
cred.
Since leaving the Cecil home Sat
urday afternoon, Mannon had had
nothing to eat but raw corn which
he got in the fields. 1t is supposed
that he had started for Christian
burg, Va. where he formerly lived,
but got lost and had been wander
ing about in the woods, swamps and
cornfields.
Early yesterday afternoon Sher-
iff Seth received a telephone mes
sage that Mannon had been seen on
the farm OF David McNutt. which is
but a short distance from the Cecil
farm. Accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff oscar Humes and Magistrate
Frank Pratt, Sheriff Seth went to
the McNutt farm. He also telephon-
ed to the State Road Commissioners
in Baltimore for aid and from the
state police and within two hours
Sergeant Gaffner and Road PATROL
men Bowman. Maize and Cole join
ed him. A number OF farmers had
also gathered there and they Joined
in the search.
The search continued all after
noon. A number OF times the party
came across tracks that they thought
to be Mannon's but It was not until
Just about dark that they suddenly
came up with him. Seeing that he
still had Mr.. Cecil's double-barrel
shotgun with him, they took nc
chances and ordered him with re-
volvers drawn to drop the gun.
Mannon is said to be under parole
in Maryland for a shooting affray
which he got into there. He had
worked on the Cecil farm for several
months and the authorities think
that he fired the stacks to,get Mrs
Cecil out Of the house so that he
could get in to search for money and
valuables. He was found in the
house by Mrs. Cecil and it was while
he was making his escape by way OF
the roof that he fired the two shots
from the gun at her.

Throughout the morning the men
were kept busy packing equipment .

stored in the Rifle Range storehouse.
Twenty members Of the Whining

will probably stay there the re- 4,

most BETTING scene at the close OF .
the camp occurred when several

wished their members success. As
they departed from the range, the,
bitter feeling that existed the past
