Former Recorder of Deeds of New
Castle County Pleads Guilty.

The case of the State against Fur
man G. Cole, former Recorder of
Deeds for New Castle county, came
to a sudden and dramatic end at the
opening of the afternoon session of
the Court of General Sessions Monday
afternoon when Mr.. Cole, through his
attorney, Philip L. Garrett, changed
his plea of not guilty to a charge of
embezzlement of upwards of $4,000
of county funds, to guilty" and was
sentenced to five years Imprisonment
and fined $4,000. Mr.. Cole would make
no statement other than to express
sympathy for his wife and family and
his hope that the shadow of his mis-
step might fall lightly upon them.

had aided the State in the examina-
ton of the books Of his office, and had
returned to the State $4,000 of the en-
bezzled funds and several checks due

STATE TAKES BOUNDARY LINE
Ratifies Pennsylvania Delaware Sur
vey Made 80 Years Ago


After the previous vote by which the
bill was defeated, had been reconsid-
cred, the House Thursday afternoon
passed by vote of % to 8, Senator
Walkers bill to ratify the report of
commission made about 80 years ago,
definitely fixing the boundary line be-
tween Delaware and PENNSYLVANIA.
Representative Corbit lead the fight
for reconsidering the previous vote
of the House and also for passage of
the bill. Thirty years ago a joint COM
mission was named by the Legislature
of two States to re-establish the boun-
dary line between the two states. This
commission did its work and made its
report. Pennsylvania ratified the re-
port but Delaware up until this time
had not. Several farmers living in
Mill Creek Hundred oppose the bill on
the ground that the boundary estab-
lished which the bill would ratify will
place their property in Pennsylvania
and they have always considered it
to be in Delaware and have been pay
ing taxes on it in Delaware. Advo-
Gates of the bill say that Delaware
gains under the correct boundary that
the bill would ratify because a large
amount of ground near Claymont, that
has been thought to be in Pennsyl-
vania is really in Delaware.

pie IN Auto and AfOOt to the Open
Palm Sunday, the last Sunday in
Lent and the first day of Holy Week,
also ushered in spring, which officially
arrived, according to the almanac,
Sunday night at 1851. And real
spring weather came with it. Palm
Sunday was a beautiful day, a little
windy, perhaps, but not unreasonable.
The sun shone brightly, and late in
the day the temperature approached
summer figure. The bright weather
and the promising programs at the
churches attracted large crowds to
the services at the various places of
worship. The highways were crowd
ed with autos and motorcycles, and
the byways attracted the pedestrians.
Birds were irf evidence in the fields,
and all signs indicated that winter had
taken its leave for a season. Monday
fulfilled the promises of Sunday with
even brighter sunshine, which by the
middle of the day drove the thermom-
eter up in the 80's and started trees
and vegetation to burst out. By even
ing wind and rain storm came up
and the thermometer yesterday morn
ing took a sudden tumble to below the
40's when overcoats felt comfortable
again. There was frost this morning
but fruit buds were dry and little OF
no damage was done.

HOUSE FAvORS LEWES FERRY

Lower Branch of Legislature Passes
Cape May-Lewes Bill Proposition
After it had been explained and adj
vocated by former Congressman Hir-
am R. Burton, of Lewes, the House on
Wednesday passed Representative T.
w. Turner's bill authorizing the State
Highway Department to provide a
wharf at Lewes for a proposed ferry
line to be operated from Cape May.
The New Jersey Legislature has pass
ed bill to provide boats for such a
ferry line, but the bill does not be-
come operative until Delaware pro-
vides the pier facilities in this State.
There was also passed with the bill,
an amendment appropriating $4,000
to the State Highway Department to
provide for the pier. DIR. Burton in
explaining the bill said that M. D. and
V. Railroad would turn over its pier at
Lewes to the Highway Department,
but that considerable would have to be
spent on it to put it in proper shape.
He argued that such a ferry line
would be a great benefit to the farm
ers of lower Delaware. Luther C.
Ogden, president of the Cape May
Chamber of Commerce also spoke for
the bill and told what New Jersey pro-
poses to do in the way of providing
boats as soon as Delaware provides
the pier. Representative Clark, of
Kenton, was the only member to vote
against the bill and the amendment.

N 0 RI II SHIAWASSE
STREET TO BE
IMPROVED s~.
Immediate Stops to be Taken to
Bettor tho Present Condition

The county road commission will
taken immediate steps to improve
the conditions of North Shiawassee
street between Janette and North
streets, which for months has been
in a very poor condition and for the
past few weeks has been in an al
most impossible condition.
Joseph Mcdonald, county engin-
eer said that efforts would be made
to drain the road, and then cinders
from the sugar factory would be
placed on it. If enough cinders can
not be obtained, gravel will be used.
i The work to be done this fall will
be only temporary, and more work
will be done in the spring. The road
has not been given much attention
because of the fact that it was be-
lieved it would be paved next year.
With the failure of the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors
to appropriate funds to pay the
county's share of the cost, hope of a
pavement there for at least two years,
was abandoned and some action to-
ward repairing the street was deemed
imperative.
The street has been under county
and state control for more thar q
year. It was turned over by the
city commission when it appeared
certain that the street would be
paved.

CON MTEST DRAWS INTEREST
MANY CHRISTMAS
SEALS SOLD IN
OWOSSO
Reports Show That Everyone is
Responding Liberally

Approximately 1000 Christina:
seals, representing a financial tota
of $4,000, had been sold in Owossc
up to Friday morning, according tc
figures just compiled by the loca
chairman.
State headquarters of the tubercu.
losis association has sent to all manu-,
facturers in the city a letter explain.
ing the object of the seal sale and in
reply the manufacturers have made
liberal purchases of the Christmas
stamps.
A campaign to sell the seals is

and reports are that the children are
responding literally.
Seals were placed on sale in the
banks of the city Saturday and will
be sold in those institutions every
Saturday from now until the close
of the campaign on Christmas day.
The local officials are hoping to
sell 100000 seals this year. In 1919
and 1920 approximately $4,000 seals
were sold.
Figures made public by campaign
workers showed that from July, 1920,
to July, 1921, twenty-four people
died of tuberculosis in Shiawassee
county. They said that it was esti-
mated by the state board of health
that for every death from the dis
ease, approximately nine people were
afflicted.
A. E. Cook, who lives south Of
Owosso, and who is head Of the state
grange, has made this statement re-
garding the Christmas seal sale:
"The Christmas seal sale will fur
nish the sinews of war in the, great
battle against the white plague. The
Grange stands for better health in
every respect and is interested in
the tuberculosis, campaign. I bespeak
for the seal sale the active sympathy
and cooperation of all Grange men,
bers in the state"
