ACCIDENT AT DELAWARE CITY

One Horse Instantly Killed, But the
Other and the Driver Escaped Luckily
Clinton street, Delaware City, was
the scene of an unusual accident Fri
day shortly after noon, when pair of
horses harnessed to a hay wagon,
owned and driven by James Alfree,
bolted just opposite his place of busi-
ness and dashed madly up Clinton
street. On reaching Front street, Mr..
Alfree endeavored to guide the fright
ened animals toward the marshes near
the Pennsylvania Railroad station, in
order to stop them, but the runaways
were travelling at such a rate of speed
that this was impossible, and being
unable to make the turn, they dashed
into the dry good store owned by Miss
Ella Bartlett, of Wilmington, and run
by Miss Bina Ford of Delaware City.
One of the horses crashed through the
door, smashing a show case and caus-
ing considerable damage. One horse,
with the exception of few cuts, es-
capped serious injury. The other horse
was not so fortunate as it crashed in
to tkl brick wall and was killed in
stantly, it's neck being broken. Mr.. AL
free clung to the side of the wagon,
which fortunately did not upset, and
escaped injury. The horses which
were unusually high-tempered are said
to have bolted when their, brides
broke, which caused Mr.. Alfree TO lose
control of them. A few men attempt
ed to stop the horses as they were
dashing up the street, but were un-
able to do so. The door of the build
ing which was wrecked was immedi-
ately boarded up and business will be
resumed as soon as repairs can be
made. Miss Foard was off for the
noon hour at the time of the accident

LEGISLATURE FAILED TO ACT
Lack of Authority Under New Law to
Pay Debts Created Under Ola

Lack OF Authority Under New Law to
Pay Debts Created Under Old
Because of frequent inquiries made
to the State Board of Educations as to
the payment of back bills, incurred in
school work under the old School Code,
prior to the enactment of the School
law of 1921, State Superintendent of
Public instruction H. V. Holloway
asked Attorney-General Townsend for
an opinion as to the payment of such
bills. The opinion of Attornev-Gener-
al Townsend was read at the meeting
OF, the State Board of Education at
Dover last Friday. The attorney-gen-
eral after reviewing the situation,
said:
81 am of the opinion that the mon
eys raised in one county cannot be
used to pay existing debts in another
county, and that said taxes do not be
come a portion of the 100000 ap-
propriated for school purposes for the
years 1922.
81 have also referred to Section 65
of the new School law, which provides
that all debts and claims against any
present existing County Board of Ed
ucatiOn shall be assumed by the State
Board of Education created by this
act. 1t will be remembered that the
Legislature of 1921, in Chapter IA,
Volume 80 made appropriations for
free public school purposes. The APP
preparation in said act mentioned were
evidently made out pursuant to a bud
get prepared by the then existing
State Board of Education, and TO have
been consistent with the new School
law this Appropriation act, under the
head of Debt Service should have
made provision for the payment cf
the debts of county boards, but it evil
IDENTIFY did not do so.
"With reference to this latter sub
| ject, l can only say that it presents an
unfortunate situation, and on which
the Legislature undoubtedly overlook
ed in enacting the Budget law because
the payment of these outstanding bills
is contemplated by the new School
law"

CHINA IS DUMPING

 JAPAN, RELAY POINT

 Tokio, April 2.--Morphine brought from the United States every year to Japan Tor re-export to China amounts rougnriy to e5,OOO pounds, Baron Fujimura. raising the question of the opium traffic in emma, asserted at a session of the bud set committee of the House of Peers.
 IL IS impossible under existing condf- tons, Baron Fujimura said for China to prevent the importation of opium and morphine and the Chinese are compelled 10 endure terrible sacrifices in conse- quence. large quantity of morphine Is brought every year to Kobe from Eng land. said the baron, as well as from India and other places. It is re-exporteo from here to Tsingtao and to Kwang- tung.
 The Japanese governor general of kwantung derives a revenue of r. s. 0c0.O00 (about $1, ,500, ,000) every year through opium, Baron Fujimura said. Under these circumstances he declared, 1t is not sur prising that the Chinese charge the Jap anese government with conniving at this nefarious trade.
 In reply, Mir. Tokonami, the home min- ister. said that the Japanese government has been controlling the opium traffic in accordance with provisions of the opium law of 1919. This law required that all those who exported opium should first obtain the permission of the home minister The home office allowed no permits for the exportation of narcotics except under the condition that they were to be used solely for pharmaceutical purposes.

 Rybuik, Upper silesia, April B. Women Inborers in mines and fac tories and on railroads are more numerous than men in several dis tricts of the coal region here.
 Girls and boys of 10 and 12 years nre regularly employed, dig ging ditches, bnIIasting runways. pushing trucks, and doing other henvy work which before the war was done only by men.
 This is the territory hitherto part of Germany, but claimed now by Poland. A plebiscite, or vote of the people, soon will be held un- der the terms of the peace treaty of Versailles, to decide whether Upper Silesia will remain German or become a part of Poland.
 The German mine owners say shortage of labor and post war ec- oDOmic conditions have forced the women nnd children into this toil, which. under German administra- tion, was forbidden. There is also shortage of manpOwer because of the great number of soldiers here who were kiIIed in the war.
 The women engaged in the heavy work generally are Poles; dis tinguished by the bright shawI-Iike headdress which they affect. Some of them have adopted a mOdificn- tion of mans apparel as better suited to their work. The corres- pondent saw three women of two score or more who constituted HsrPtf0H KunNy wearing heavy trousers under their short skirts.
 The majority of the women wear heavy shoes with thick wooden s0Ies and cloth tops, all home made. Some have heavy boots, which ap-

London. April 2.-Dean Inge, weII-knOwn cleric known as the gloomy dean, predicts that cheap labor may seal the doom of the white race.
 He declared in mn address that the Japanese had tolerated q labor system no better thnn that of Eng land 100 years ago. Under regime of peace, free trade and unrestricted emigration the .cOlored race would Outwork, underlive and eventually exterminate the whites. The abOl- tiOn Nf war and the establishment of league to secure justice and equality of treatment for all na- ions, would seal the doom of the white IabOrer, he prOphesied.
 The dean was of the opinion that the British social order was on the verge of bankruptcy md ms cOndf- tiOns became more unfavorabIe to enterprise capital and business ability would be transferred to the economically strong countries.

Apparently M. Viviani will be kept constantly on the go this trip, for all sorts of parties have been given for him and are being planned for the re- mainder of his visit The French ann bassador entertained distinguished company of statesmen, including the Vice President and the leaders in the Senate, with their wives. President and Mrs. Harding will give him a din- ner party Tuesday evening, their first official dinner since taking up their residence in the White House. Monday evening he will dine with Senator Me dill Mccormick, who recently arrived from France, and who has invited number of leaders in the affairs oe the nation to meetlthe distinguished guest. And there will be other such rarties. It seems that M Viviani and the states men "get together" at these parties in stead of at formal interviews and con ferences. The affairs of nations fre- quently are settled over the dinner tables in Washington.
 MAY VISIT WILSON
 It seems more than likely to me that Viviani because of his close associa- ton with former President Wilson dur ing the latter's stay in Paris and the . 4oAHlSI pTeNlOuS E4Sll neFe, WnGn MT Wilson entertained him at the White House will pay visit to the former chief executive, who may entertain at least, informally, in honor of the dis tinguished guest If he doesn't 1t will be because he is not strong enough, I'm sure.
 There seems to be a great deal of in- terest in the future social standing of former President and Mrs. Wilson; just what part they will play in society here. and if problems in precedence will develop. The new President and his wife are certainly busy folk. They surely are being truly democratic in every way. I'm wondering if they will keep 1t up. 1 recall well how very democratic Roosevelt was when he first went to the White House. He sent some of his children to the public schools; he walked back and forth to church, kept the grounds of the White
