HAS LANDING FOR AIRPLANES
John ID. Biggs Puts Out Big White
Marker ON His Farm Near New Castle

John D. Biggs, of near New Castle
has received a letter from the head
quarters of the air service troops sta
toned at Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
Md, expressing appreciation for the
identification marker in field on his
property as being safe and available
for the landing of airplanes. The let
ter is signed by Major ]. H. Pirie, of
the Air Service. The matter will be
reported to Washington, and it is hop
ed by the air service that the example
set by Mr.. Biggs will be followed by
other persons who have fields that
would make safe landing for airplanes
A paragraph from the letter sent Mr..
Biggs states that "Such cooperation
as this is of immense value to the
further development of the National
Airways, now in progress throughout
the United States" Several planes
have landed on the field on Mr.. Biggs'
property, which he has designated
with a white marker. The marker
can be seen at a great distance by
planes seeking a landing.

EPISCOPALIANS AT PORTLAND
Bishop Cook And a Number From
This Diocese Attending COnven-
ton Now Going On in Oregon


Bishop and Mrs. Phillip Cook, the
Rev. R. w. Trapnell, rector of st. An
drew's Protestant Episcopal Church,
and Mrs. Trapnell, and Rev. and Mrs.
Frederick w. Kirkus, Wilmington,
and Rev. B. F. Thompson, Dover,
are among those from this Diocese
who have left for Portland, Oregon,
to attend the general convention
of the church, to be held there the first
three weeks in September. Bishop
Cook, head of the Protestant Episco-
pal diocese of Delaware, has been gone
since June. Altho only elected to the
post he now hold two years ago, he
has made such an impression among
his colleagues among the house of
bishops, that he is being suggested as
a very capable candidate for presiding
bishop of the church. His friends say
that he would not consider accepting
such a post. More than 1000 visitors
men and women, arrived at Port
land September for the opening of
the general triennial convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church. Over
1,500 of the 1000 are delegates to
one of the clerical, lay or women's
convention. The session will continue
for three weeks. Entertainment of
all kinds is being arranged. The en-
tertainment committee has secured the
use of golf courses, downtown clubs
and other social gathering places.
Trips will be made daily over the Co
lumbia river highway and to points
of scenic interest in and about Port
land. Automobiles will be furnished
by the women's committee. The work
of the main convention will be carried
on by 40 commissions or committees
Some of these are: Commissions on
the revision and enrichment of the
prayer book; on the hymnal; on
music; on faith and order; on Chris
tian unity; and on conferences with
the Eastern and Old Catholic COM
munions. Another commission which
has just completed a 6-year survey is
that on home and family life. Birth
control, divorce and kindred topic:
have been included in this report. This
year is the second occasion in the his
tory of the American church that the
eight provinces, which include al
Pacific coast dioceses, has entertained
the general convention. The previou!
occasion was at San Francisco il
1901.

DELAWARE AGAINST BONUS
Senator Ball Voted Against and Sena-
tor dupont Paired Against 1t

Delaware's two United States Sen
ators are against the bonus. Senator
Ball voted against and Senator du
Pont paired" against the measure.
The United States Senate Thursday
paid its political debt to ablebodied
soldier voters by passing the $5,OOO,-
100000 bonus raid on the public treas
ury and taxpayers of the country.
Only sixty-nine of the ninety-siX Sem
ators actually voted on the bill, forty
seven casting their votes in favor of
it and twenty-five against it. Under
the pairing arrangement twenty of
the twenty-Seven Senators who did
not participate in the vote, were
evenly balanced in support and against
the measure. Of the seven absentees
without pairs five declared their pur-
pose to vote for the bill and two
against it. The full vote actually ac-
counted for was siXty-two in favor of
the bonus bill and thirty-four against
it. Of the forty-seven votes for the
bill, twenty-seven were cast by Re-
publicans and twenty by their Demo-
cratic associates. Of the twenty-five
votes actually cast against the mea-
sure fiften were contributed by Repub-
licans and seven by Democrats. On
the basis of the vote Thursday veto
of the McCumber measure, which is
expected by almost every Senator, will
be upheld. In addition to the number
of Senators who voted or were paired
against the bill, at least three and
probably seven-"as many as may be
necessary"-will vote to sustain the
Presidential disapproval of the bonus
scheme.

Labor Day Fishing Trip to Bow
ers' Beach-Dr. Niles Summoned


Two men are dead, three are injur-
ed and one man escaped in an auto
mobile accident on the DUPONT High
way near Blackbird, at 6 o'clock Mon
day night as they were returning from
a Labor Day outing at Bowers Beach.
The dead are: George P. Kroeker, fif-
ty-six, 1852 S. Front street, Camden,
N. j., member of the Camden Coun-
ty Board of Freeholders. Lehman H.

Samuel Richelson, 3O5 Kaighn avenue,
Camden; Nicholas Pursell, 1873 Kaighn
avenue, Camden; James A. Mcclure,
Narberth Terrace, Collingswood, N.
]. All the injured sustained cuts and
bruises. Ross died instantly from a
broken back and Kroeker died while
being rushed to the Delaware Hospital
Wilmington. Both men were crushed
beneath the wrecked automobile which
skidded and crashed into the abutment
of the bridge. The six men had been
on an outing to Bowers Beach. They
left Camden early Sunday in McNul-
ty's automobile, and were returning
home when the crash occurred. Nc
Nulty, Mcclure and Ross were broth
ers-in-law, the three having married
sisters. The members of the party
had difficulty in persuading Ross to
accompany them. 1t was his first out
ing this summer and he was reluctant
to leave his home in CollingswOOd
saying he had numerous little odd jobs
/ to attend to there. Kroeker, who was
serving his second term as a Free

a saloon at the Kaighn avenue address

children. Rain was falling as the

GUN FOR REED AND BLACK BIRD
Party On Marshes Around Delaware
City Bag Many On Opening Day

The Reed birds and black birds were
given many a scare Friday, the open
ing day of the cunning season for
them even if not so many were killed.
As large a number of gunners as ever
were out to enjoy the opening days
shooting, but from all the game bags
examined luck was not so very good.
The heavy fog and mist in the early
morning delayed the start of shoot
ing by an hour. The birds were flying
but were hard to see. Then when it
did get light enough to see the flight
was about over. There was scarcely
any breeze during either the morning
or evening. DR.. Walter w. Ellis bag
ged 81 during the evening, shooting
down at Port Penn. Allen Beck got
10 in the morning and 4S in the even
ing. Henry Winchester got IL in the
morning and 27 in the evening. VIM.
V. Reybold, Charles F. Tugend, JOS
eph Reeves and Harry Scott comprised
a party that shot during the evening
from H. P. Scott's marsh. This party
got on an average of 20 birds apiece.
There were plenty of birds but most
of them flew so high as to be out of
range. Along the railroad track that
runs through the marsh at the en-
trance to Delaware City, there was a
gunner behind nearly every telegraph
pole during the late afternoon shoot
ing, and many birds were killed there,
but lost when they fell in the tall
marsh reeds.
