ference which opens in Crisfeld, Md,
March 20. 1t has been said that
church outside the city has issued an
invitation to Rev. George c. Williams
of McCabe Church, but it is doubtful
if Mr.. Williams will accept. There
may be a change in Epworth Church,
also in Silverbrook. The retirement
of Rev. S. N. Pilchard, of Georgetown
from active ministry, and the desire
of Rev. DIR. R. X. Stephenson to leave
Milford, will cause readjustment of
pastorates of some of the large church
es down the state. Rev. Disston W..
Jacobs, of Bridgeville, may become
Milford's pastor, and Rev. Stephenson
may go to Silverbrook.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY CHANGE
OF ROUTE HELD UP IN HOUSE
QUESTION RAISED AS TO CON-
STITUTIONALTTY OF MEASURE

Representative COrbit Defends Action
of Commission Who Had LabOred
For the Better Route to Newark
After third reading, the House of
Representatives Wednesday afternoon
deferred until there is a larger atten-
dance of Representatives further ac-
tion on the Senate bill changing the
route of the Lincoln Highway in Mill
Creek Hundred. The bill provides that
the Lincoln Highway shall extend
along the present road leading from
st. James Church to Newark, while)a
commission appointed by Judge Her
bert l.. Rice picked a route which in
some places diverts 500 feet from said
road. Senator Richards, who was
granted the privilege of the House
floor, said-construction of the Lincoln
Highway was commenced four years
ago, seven miles thereof are complet-
ed and two years have been spent in
an effort to obtain right of way for
the disputed section. He stated land
owners adjacent to the proposed high
way oppose the route selected by the
commission and declared said route
would "rob" many taxpayers, as it
would cut their farms in half. While
giving details of alleged injury to
property, he mentioned that the high
way would encroach to within six feet
of the doorsteps of one mans home.
Representative Buckingham thought
the route fixed by the bill preferable
to the route picked by the commission.
Representative White questioned the
constitutionality of the bill and cited
Section 19 of Article of the Consti-
tuition of Delaware, as follows: "The
General Assembly shall not pass any
local or special law relating to fences
straying of livestock, bitches, creation
or changing of the boundaries OF
school districts or the laying o1t
opening, alteration, maintenance Of
vacation, in whole or in part, of any
road, highway, street, lane or alley
provided, however, that the Genera
Assembly may be vote of two-thirdI
of all the members elected to eacl
House pass laws relating to the laying
out, opening, alteration or mainte
nance of any road or highway extend
ing through at least portion of thre
counties of the State" Senator Rich
ards sent for Senate Attorney Hope
! who expressed the opinion that tn
bill is constitutional.
\ Representative COrbit differed wit
Mr.. Hope regarding the constitution
\ ality of the bill. He defended the com
mission, of which he was a member
He said the commissioners are caps
BILE men and devoted two months t
their work. He stated they selecte
the route they considered best, on tha

ed the least inconvenience to the Ian
owners affected. He mentioned ths
this route is approved by the person
who will pay the cost of the highwa
and asserted passage of the bill woul
be detrimental to New Castle county

SPANISH FORCES FACE PROBLEM
 OVER MOROCCO
Ten Thousand Square Kilo. meters of Spanish Zone
 Remain to Be Captured.

MEL1LLA, Morocco, Aug. 22.-Ten thousand square kilometers of the Spanish zone remained to be cap tured when the Spanish troops in this section suffered their reverses at the hands of the Moors late in July. The entire region was over run by fanatic tribesmen ready to ble land.
 The strength of the Spanish forces with their native auxiiaries engaged in this formidable task before the Spanish disaster had been the sub ject of criticism even among the sol diers participating in the effort to pacify the Moors and the core spondent of The Associated Press heard on many occasions cutting re- marks as to the peril of leaving small garrisons to defend newly acquired positions It was pointed out that the tribesmen were able to assemble in considerable force at any given point with remarkable rapidity and a lonely garrison was liable to be cut off and overwhelmed before help could be secured from another point.
 Such, however, was the situation and the high commissioner with the generals under his command were compelled to make the best of things while trying to satisfy Spanish am bitions with the report of an occa- sional victory.
 Meanwhile, it is charged, the tribesmen are able to maintain their supplies of food and arms either from French Morocco or through the inter national zone at Tangier. By this means they are enabled to offer stern resistance to the Spaniards in their effort to take and hold the country lying between Melilla and Ceuta, a distance of 250 miles in a direct line, every inch of which must be fought for.
 Much help cannot be expected from the small Spanish war vessels patrolling the coast, to which ap proach is very difficult and danger ous, while bombardments from the warships would probably prove inef- fective, because of the impossibility of seeing the object aimed at owing to the roughness of the ground.

Water Eight Feet High and Several Miles Wide Sweeps
 the River Valley.
PEOPLE SOUGHT SAFETY BY GOING TO HIGH LAND
Capitol Building Flooded and Valuable Documents
 Probably Lost.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug 22.-The flood waters from Cave Creek en- tered the State Capitol building at o'clock last night, flooding the base ment and later the first floor.
 A wall of water eight feet high and several miles wide struck the valley section and washed out much ground of the Salt River Irrigation Canal system.
 Flood waters extended from Phoe- nix to Glendale, a distance of nine miles, and was due to a cloudburst of last Saturday.
 This afternoon the flood waters began receding.
 Many valuable documents in the Capitol building have probably been destroyed.
 No loss of life is. reported.
 The water is still running through the downtown streetsslate this after noon.
 People in the low section were wor- ried and sought safety on high ground last Saturday morning.

Mexico City May Go Bone Dry by September l

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 22.- There is well-defined move ment here which is said to have some official backing to make the federal district which em- braces Mexico City bone dry by September l.
 It is proposed to close all saloons and cantinas and to stop the sale of all intoxicants, in toxicants, including pulque, the principal native drink.
 During the administration of Provisional President de la Huerta several prohibition meas ures were enforced but were eventually lifted after violent protests had been made by liquor vendors and their thirsty customers.
