KHAN OFFERS A REWARD
Seeking Evidence Against Those Re-

Seeking Evidence Against Those Re-
spOnsible for Attack at New Castle
A reward of $1,000 has been offer
ed by the Ku Klux Klan for the ar
rest and conviction of those response
bic for the anti-Klan demonstration
at New Castle recently, when Klan
meeting was stormed and the Klans-
men routed. Officials of the Klan,
together with a number of detectives,
have been in Wilmington and New
Castle conducting an investigation.
H. c. Mccall, an officer, stationed at
the national headquarters of the Klan
in Atlanta, announced the offering of
the reward. 1t is claimed by the
Klansmen that the men who attacked
them were trespassing on the field,
which they say had been rented to
them, and were also trespassing on
railroad property. Frank Megginson,
stated, however, that the Klan cere-
mOny was not held on the field which
he rented to the Klansmen but on an
adjoining field.
Detectives working on the case
made several important discoveries
they said, but refused to divulge any
of them. This evidence will be used
against the members of the raiding
party, if they are apprehended. Klan
leaders will confer with Attorney
General Sylvester D. Townsend and
post the reward money, they declared.
Several of the local leaders of the
Klan, which held the meeting at New
Castle, conferred with DR.. ]. w. Haw-
kins, of Atlanta, Ga, at Havre de
Grace, Md, Sunday night. Arrange
ments were made whereby DIR. Haw-
kins will deliver a series of lectures

ture his subject being the causes lead

NJ. D.V.RR. PROBLEM STILL
UNDER CLOSE DISCUSSION
GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND AND
PRESIDENT OF P.R.R. TO CONFER
Future of Shore Involved and an Urg-
ent Demand is Made to Have Ser
vice Restored to RehObOth

The conference between Governor
Ritchie and Samuel Rae, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, concerning
problems affecting the future of the
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia
lines, will be held in Baltimore this
week. Mr.. Rae, who has been on a
long vacation, has returned to Phila-
delphia. 1t required two or three days
in which to dispose of important rail
way matters. The conference will be
one between the Governor and the
head of the Pennsylvania, but it is al
most certain Maryland's executive
will suggest to Mr.. Rae that S.Davies
Marield, chairman of the Eastern
Shore Railway Commission, and Will
liam Mines Maloy, chairman, and
other members of the Public Service
Commission be invited to attend
Governor Ritchie has been advised the
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia
problem is one which can be disposed
only by Mr.. Rae, as far as the Penn
sylvania Railroad is concerned. The
most important of the four PROPOSE
tiOns to be considered at the confer
ence is the proposed freight car ferry
between Love Point and Canton, also
service to Milton, Lewes and Reho-
both. The Eastern Shore Commission
estimated the Love Point ferry can be
established for $225,OOO. 1t is report
ed Pennsylvania officials are inclined
to look with favor upon the proposal.
Other questions to be considered are
the line from Queenstown to Centre
vile, the line from Queen Annes to
West Denton, which the commission
thinks should be extended to Green
wood, and the line from Claiborne to
EastOn.

MINISTER SAVES SWIMMER
Rev. Paul Warner Rescues GlenmOre
Pusey at Ocean City, Md.

Glenmore Pusey, aged 21, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Austin Pusey, of Sails
bury, Md, narrowly escaped drowning
at Ocean City, Sunday. His rescuer
was Rev. Paul Warner, pastor of the
NJ. P. Church at Lauraville, Baltimore
county, and formerly of Salisbury, a
son of DR.. Louis F. Warner, who for
a number of years filled the pulpit of
Bethesda NJ. P. Church. The rescue
was witnessed by scores of people,
and already steps are being taken to
secure for the brave young minister,
a Carnegie medal. The near-drown-
ing occurred just off the pier, and
came about when Pusey's effort to
combat the strong undercurrent be-
came futile, Notwithstanding the fact
that he is a very good swimmer. Mr.
Warner, who was talking with the
young mans mother on the beach
noticed the struggling in the water
although neither knew who was in
danger. When Pusey was brought tc
shore, he was in a semi-cOnscious con-
dition.

than any other State in the Union

the strawberry was a paying crop for
that section of Delaware. Almost
overnight Selbyville became a great
strawberry gowing center, and late
in May and early in June of each,
year, hundreds Of refrigerator cars of
Strawberries go out of Selbyville for
northern markets. Bridgeville caught
the contagiOn and plunged into straw
berry growing, and for a. few years
rivalled and even replaced Selbyville
as the worlds greatest strawberry
