his rifle and a supply of ammunition

death and the serious wounding of his
brother, he gave the men plenty of
warning. Benton would make no
statement for publication. He is 55
years old and married, but has no
children. Deputy Sheriff Joe Connor,

Newark, Del, january 5, 1921.
10 the Citizens of Newark:
Some two weeks ago Mayor
Frazer was appointed by Mr.. H.
Z. Scott, chairman of the Hoover
Relief for Delaware, ito conduct a
movement looking to the raising
of funds i'm Newark to aid in this
great relief work. Mr.. Frazer
being sick at the time, asked me
to act for him. l declined further
than ito ask the pastors of the sew
eral churches to present the mat
ter to their congregations, which,
l believe they did, but MO effort
was made I'M the community to
collect, and no opportunity given
our citizens to contribute to- a
Newark fund, ito express in a civic
sense, the sympathy of "a whole
community for these destitute
children. Both Mr.. Frazer and
myself regret this situation now,
and would remedy it as far as pos
sible by stating THAT both of the
banks, Mr.. Frazer and myself
will be glad ito receive any offer
ings you may desire to- make to
this fund, and that it ALL reaches
the Delaware agency to the credit
of yourselves and of Newark.
know that some have already sent
their check in ito the treasurer at
Wilmington, but I'M view of the
fact that manly towns of the State
have made splendid showing, l
| have hopes that Newark may re-
spond in this matter as she. all
ways has in the past to- the call
for help. 1t is not my purpose
here ito go into the merits or de
merits of the case. The press, the
pulpit, and great magazines of the
nation have all told the STORY of
starvation among three and half
million little children. 1t lis a
matter of conscience with each
one of us whether we live ito our
selves alone, but | think the next
meal will taste better, the next
nights sleep be more restful, the
next look into our hearts will
show cbeauer reflection of our
real selves when we can say
"what l have done may save a life
and alleviate some great sorrow u
and carry with it the knowledge
that in some measure we have
performed a duty.
