FIRE DESTROYS OLD
IRON PIER AT LEWES
Coast Guards Rushing To Rescue
Were Driven Off By ExpIOd-
ing Gas BuOys.

Saturday afternoon fire of unknown
origin started on the iron pier at
Lewes, and before it could be extin-
guished had burned over two hundred
feet of the dock. The men working at
the fish factory were first to discover
the blaze. They rushed to the pier but
the wind was blowing so hard at the
time they were unable to check the
flames. The crew of the Lewes Coast
Guard Station were soon on hand and
they, too, were hampered in their
work by the explosion of the gas
buoys on the pier. The spar buoys
were all destroyed but the can buoys
fell through the pier and were picked
I'D by the Coast Guards. There are
three boat houses on the pier, one OF
which was partly destroyed; the other
two were left untouched. The iron pier
is owned by the Government and has
not been used for a number OF years
to any extent with the exception OF
storage of buoys and a landing place
for the crews of the various hghtshlps
and lighthouses in that section. Much
piling owned by D. W. Burbage, OF
Lewes, was destroyed.

NO REDUCTION In
TEACHERS SALARIES
State Board Of Education So Rules
AT Meeting Last Week In Dover.
King Succeeds Jump.

The salaries of the school teachers
coming directly under the jurisdiction
of the State Board of Education will
be the same next year as they were
during the past year, according to
resolution adopted by the State Board
at a meeting held at Dover last week.
Those teachers who are entitled 10
pay for special ratings or lengths OF
service, may have to wait until the
end of the year for their extra pay.
Under the terms of the resolution
adopted, these increments are to be
paid in the whole or part at the end
of the school year, providing the whole
or any part of the 100000 contingent
fund passed by the legislature be-
comes available. The resolution as
adopted follows:
Resolved that the teachers in the
State Board schools shall be paid for
the school year 1923-24, the same sal
aries as for the year 1929 and fur
Their, Resolved that where increments
are due in accordance with the pres
ent salary schedule, the same shall
be paid in whole or in part at the end
of the school year 1924, providing
the whole or part Of the contingent
appropriation Of 100000 made by leg
islature shall become available before
June 80, 1924.
There are in the employ of the State
Board, a number of teachers, who
through special qualifications or terms
of service, are entitled to receive eX-
ira remuneration according to the
terms of the salary schedule. Under
the terms of the above resolution, they
will not receive this extra compensa-
ton monthly as heretofore, but will
receive it in a lump sum at the end
of the school year providing the con-
tingent fund becomes available.
The contingent fund of 100000 was
appropriated by the legislature after
the regular appropriation of two mil
lion dollars had been passed. Under
the terms of the act, the contingent
appropriation will only become avail
able if the income into the State
Treasury through school taxation
channels is sufficient to warrant it.
Just how this action will appeal to
the teachers involved is not known at
this time. They will probably give the
matter some thought before acting
upon it.
Prof. H. B. King, statistician of the
State Board, was elected Assistant
State Superintendent in charge of ele-
mentary schools to succeed Prof. W.
H. Jump, who resigned at meeting
of the Board held last Friday. No sue
cessor to Prof. King will be chosen
and the work of his department will
be carried on by other members of the
State Department.
The State Board decided to main
tain the same standard of supervision
in the counties as is in force at pres
ent.
A request was received from Clay
mont for permission to open their
school at a. m. standard time. The
request was granted.

SWINDLER VTCTIMIZES
NEWARK MERCHANTS
A Fake Revenue Officer Has Been
Issuing Checks Which Have
Proved Worthless.
A WARNING TO THE PEOPLE
Business People On the Peninsula
Should Be On Their Guard For
This Crook.

At least one Newark, Delaware,
merchant is said to have recently been
the victim of a fake revenue officer
and it is also reported that attempts
were made to fleece several others.
The supposed officer some days ago
stopped in the place of business OF
the Newark man and, showing
badge, said he was from the Federal
Revenue Office and that he desired to
see the merchants income tax dupli-
cate, claiming some mistake had been
made in the return. On being shown
the duplicate he worked for some time
on it. 1t was then late in the after
noon and he left with the understand
ing that he would return later. In the
evening the man returned again and
said he was unable to get through his
business in Newark and would have to
remain all night. He explained that
he had not brought sufficient expense
money with him and asked the mer-
chant to cash his check for $50 which
was done. The check proved to be no
good and the supposed revenue Of
ficer has not been seen since. 1t was
learned, however, that the man was
not a bona fide Federal officer. The
same sort of game is said to have been
worked in other places and govern
ment officers are making a search for
the stranger.
Merchants and business people gen
orally should be on their guard against
this swindler, and if an attempt is
made to victimize them the police Of
ficials should be notified.
