porting it. Representative Holcomb,
Democrat, then offered an amendment
making the amount S2,2OO,O0O. This
was supported by all the Republicans
and Representatives Culver and Hol-
comb, Democrats. The effort failed.
It is certain that the S2,OOO,O00 is in
sufficient for the operation of the
schools and the special districts will
be compelled to levy an additional tax
upon the residents of the districts. 1t
is more than probable that the school
boards of these special districts will
be compelled to make all pupils from
outside districts pay for the privilege
of attending the special district
schools. 1t is also likely that towns
like Frederica will lose their high
schools because of the insufficient
funds appropriated.
Smyrna times., 1923-04-04

recommended an appropriation of S2,-
100000 for the year 1923-24, and $2,-
100000 for the year 1924-25, after
taking the budgets as presented from
all the school districts of the State
and reducing the same by 100000.
The Governor, in his tentative bud
get bill recommended S2,2OOOOO each
year. The Collins bill lops 100000
off of this. The amount recommended
by the Governor is the same as that
appropriated to the schools during the
past two years, and members of the
State Board claim they cannot posi-
bly, get along on the same amount
during the next two years and take
care of the increased number of pu-
pills that have accrued and will accrue
during the next two school years.
Some members opposed amendments
for increases in the appropriation but
they were defeated on the ground that
bill has been passed whereby any
district in the State, small or large,
by a referendum can raise additional
money by taxation, and they believe
that this is the logical way for dis
tricts needing more than their allOt-
ment to raise the amount.
An effort was made at the night ses-
sion on Wednesday shortly before the
legislature recessed for ten days, to
increase the amount to be allowed for
the maintenance and operation of the
public schools of the State. Repre-
sentative Little, Republican. offered an
amendment which would change the
$2,OOO,OOO to $2,5OO,OOO. This was vot-
ed down with every Democrat voting
against it and every Republican sup

compared the "siIk stocking man" who
steals 100000 and gets just Jail
sentence with the negro who steals
chickens and gets both lashes and a
Jail sentence. In conclusion he said:
"'This is one dark spot on Delaware's
fair name. Take off that dark spot. Z"
Senator Ridgely opposed the bill, but
said he would be willing to extend to
the "silk stocking men" referred to by
Senator Simonton. When the vote was
announced Senator Simonton said:
''That is four more votes than l ex-
pected."

In the ComptrOller's report for the year 1922
note there is no return for work Of Pri-
soners under this heading. Since for the past
several years this has been item of more
or less moment, simply call attention to
its absence in this report. We again respect
fully suggest that the amount under Mis-
ceaneous Receipts" is too large to be thus
captioned, and in the future it should be re-
ported in greater detail. The tax payers we
feel. have a right to know the source from
which the Countys revenue is derived in
sonabe detail. well to how it is eX-
pended and this information should not be
covered up under Miscellaneous Receipts or
Miscellaneous Expenditures.
The examination of the ComptrOer's Rec
ords and Vouchers clearly show the neces-
sity for the closest scrutiny and watchfulness
on the part of the County Engineer of the pay
rolls of the road supervisors and other items
requiring his o. X and on the part of the
County Commissioners of bills presented for
their approval.
We commend the Comptroller in his effort
to administer his office according to the law

tion Of that body attached to his published re-
port.

BOTH HUGGINS AND WGRAW PREDICT WILL WIN VICTORY

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, dis cussing his teams chances in the worlds series tonight said:
 In 1921 and in 1922 the dope was all against us. It had our pitchers weaker than those of the Yankees Yet my pitchers proved strongest and my batters the hardest hitters. The dope, as usual, !. against Giants. Yet there is but one thing to pre- dict-a Giant victory. The Giants are great ball players and they are strengthened by the confidence gained in the winning of two world championships in a row."
 Said Miller Huggins
 "The Yankees are a different team than ig 1921 and 1922. The personnel is almost the same but the spirit is changed, Now, along with the ex- ceptional ability, the Yankees are az gressive and are working better to- gether. Babe Ruth is changed. He expects to do heavy work with his bat. The pitching staff was never stronger or more brilliant. I think I may safely predict that the world's championship gonfalon will fly over Yankee stadium after this series."

MICHIGAN WORKS HARD FOR MANDY
 BATTLE SATURDAY

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 9.-The University of Michigan varsity foot ball team has begun a week of hard practice in preparation for the game Saturday with Vanderbilt. The southern school is strong extensively and defensively, according to scouts who saw it in action last Saturady, and next Saturdays contest looms as a decision.
 The coaching of staff is the selec- tion of men to start as guards against Vanderbilt. The game with Case last Saturday showed the line needed strengthening and first atten- ton will be given these men who make holes for the backfield. Coach Yost has five men to fill vacancies in the line, with Slaughter and White as the most likely combination for the Vanderbilt game.
 During the next three days the first string men will get into action in scrimmage against the freshmen and reserves. Particular interest will be given to formations for use Saturday and against Ohio state the following week.

Americana Chess Champ
 Challenged By Cuban

HAVANA, Oct. 9.-Jose R. Capa- blanca of Havana. worlds champion chess player, said today he would meet Frank J. Marshall, champion of the United States, in a title contest if the latter would meet the cham pionship conditions.
 MT. Marshall recently wrote MT. Capablanca asking for match, and the latter said he had replied that he would play such a match if it were for the worlds title and if the chal- lenger compiled with the conditions recently agreed upon among the leading players, including the guar antee of a purse of at least $10,000 in addition to expenses. The cham pion would be given a fee of 20 per cent of the purse and the winner would take 60 per cent and the loser 40 per cent of the remainder.
 Mir. Capablanca and MT. Marshall have not met since 1909, at which time the Cuban decisiyely defeated his American adversary.
