LAUREL MAY NOT Be In
EASTERN SHORE LEAGUE

The prospects of league baseball
team representing Laurel next year
are not very bright at the present
time. While no definite information
has been given to the league officials
as yet relative to the status of the
team something will be decided upon
within a short time. A public meet
ing will be held before December 20,
at which time the citizens them
selves will be called upon to decide.
The Laurel team is in the best con-
dition for the opening of next year of
any team in the league. Parksley has
but three players left from last year
and Salisbury only four.
Poke Whalen, manager of this
years Laurel team has been signed
up to manage Parksley next year.
1t is probable that the Laurel team
will be sold to one of three towns:
Snow Hill, Easton or Berlin. Offers
have already been made and it is
likely that something definite will be
given out before the first of the year.
Should Laurel decide not to stay in
organized baseball, Dover will be the
only Delaware town represented in
the organization.

SAYS COMMITTEE
ACTED VERY UNWISELY
Alien Property Custodian Miller
Says Action Taken By Kent
Republicans Was Wrong.
Sees INJURY TO THE PARTY
All Independent Voters Should Be
Invited To Confer With Leader,
He Says.

The action of the Kent County Re
publican Committee last week il
reading out of the party certain Re
publicans for having helped to bring
about the defeat of 7. Coleman dU
Pont for United States Senator, anC
declaring in favor of the party NOM
inee for governor coming from New
Castle county and the nominee fol
United States Senator from Sussex or
Kent counties, is condemned in a
statement issued by Colonel Thomas
w. Miller, alien property custodian,
member of the Republican State COM
mittee and of the Republican execu-
tive committee.
Colonel Miller declares that rather
than read out any of the party MEM
bers, the Republicans of Kent county
should be devoting their efforts to
attracting the ever growing number of
independent voters. He also questions
the right of Kent county Republicans
to allot the State offices when ut the
last election that county went Demo-
cratic by 1000 majority.
Colonel Miller's statement is as
follows:
at is surprising to see some of
our Republican friends in Kent county
allotting by resolution Republican
nominations ten months in advance of
the convention, when it is recalled
that the county went 1000 Democratic
last year. Where does the city of Will
mington, which consistently returns
Republican majorities, figure, as well
as Sussex county, which is normally
Republican?
eff Republican principals and con-
didates are to prevail at the polls in
this State in 1924 we must not awake
feuds of the past but rather build for
the future for we shall need the sup
port of all Republicans to elect our
ticket. If the Republican party loses
the governorship next year it means
the return to the days prior to 1900
when franchise was denied thousands
of our citizens by reason of the cleo
ton laws enacted by the Democratic
party. For these reasons the Dover
announcement of last week was I'M
wise and of a harm to the Republican
party. Reading people out of our par
ty by resolution accomplishes nothing
constructive, but rather should be en-
ergies be Bonded to hold our strength
and attract the ever increasing lot of
independent voters in the State. 1t is
too fattering to any man or set of
men to attribute to them the defeat of
a partys candidates.
"When has the Senatorial nomina-
ton been considered as one subject
to rotation? Let the Republicans of
Delaware nominate the candidates
best fitted to represent them on their
ticket by reason of ability and with
a record of his or her accomplish
ments. Then we shall have no fear of
results for they will appeal not only
to the members of our own party but
10 those who are Independent in their
views as we'll"

CROSS ESCAPES FROM
SUPPOSED HIGHWAYMEN

Joseph Cross, of Bowers Beach,
while proceeding south on the State
Highway between Bishops Corner
and Dover, noticed a valise laying on
the road, and car about fifty yards
in front of him. Cross did not stop,
and in passing the car man on the
running board called to him, but he
paid no attention to it. Upon arriving
in Dover, Cross reported the matter
to the State Highway Police, who i'm
mediately started to investigate.
On his way home, the same car
drove across his path at Cooper's
Corner and compelled him to stop.
Two men got out of the machine, ap-
preached his car, and demanded that
he give them the grip. Cross explain
ed that he had not picked up the grip.
One of the men then opened the door
of his automobile, while the other
started to come towards him on the
other side. Selling the opportunity,
Cross stepped on the gas" and es-
capped. He reported the second incident
to the State Highway Department in
Dover and they are now searching the
State for this car.
Mr.. Cross formerly resided at
Beach, afterwards moving
to farm in Slaughter Neck. He went
to Bowers from there. He conducts a
fleet of fishing boats at Bowers.

OPENING OF EVANS NEW
JEWELRY STORE ON SATURDAY

For several weeks workmen have
been busily engaged in reftting and
refurnishing the jewelry store of
Samuel c. Evans, at 8 South Walnut
street. This week all of the old fix
lures were removed and new mahOg-
any fixtures installed. Altogether it is
a wonderful transformation and Mil
ford now has a beautiful and as up
to date jewelry store as is to be found
in the State. The new wall cases are
worthy of especial mention. These are
placed on either side of the store and
are made of mahogany and polished
plate glass, the glass running from
the floor up. These are made with the
latest pattern sliding plate glass
doors and are lighted by electricity.
The front windows are finished in
mahogany, with hardwood floors and
French doors. The second floor has
also been fitted up as a salesroom.
Here is the yictrola department and
an up to date gift shop On the same
floor is the optical department which
has also been fitted out complete with
the latest type equipment for eye eX-
animation. The cabinet, chair, &C., are
in white enamel and certainly i'm
press one with their appearance. Mr..
Evans has shown much enterprise in
putting in this admirable equipment
and is to be congratulated on the fine
of his store which gives
him a splendid setting for his large
stock of jewelry and kindred wares.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT
FILLING STATION CROSSING

Another accident was added to the
long list of smash-ups which have oc-
Cured at the intersection of the Mil
rd-Harrington road and the du Pont
boulevard, last Sunday. In this col
lision a car bearing a Maryland
license collided with Delaware car.
Fortunately none of the occupants of
either car were seriously injured; but
the automobiles were both BADLY dam
aged as a result of the crash. The
Maryland car was driven by NJ. L..
Pierson of Elkton and the Delaware
car by James Elsey, Milford. At this
season of the year the view at this
particular crossing is not o5structed
and drivers of cars should be able to
see an approaching vehicle for some
distance. The collision occurred
about half a mile from the spot on the
Harrington road where the Thistle
wood car and the Davis car were in
an accident the same day. In the lat
ter accident one woman lost her life.

WOMAN KILLED WHEN
GUN DROPS ON FLOOR

Mrs. Elizabeth Hollis Weaver, wife
of farmer, residing near Camden, re-
ceived wounds from which she died
almost instantly on Monday of this
week when a gun which she had load
ed fell to the floor and was discharg-
ed. According to persons who WITNESS
ed the sad accident, Mr.. Weaver was
about to go into the field to husk
corn when his wife asked him to take
his gun along within i'm and kill a
rabbit for her aunt who lives in Cam
den. She got the gun and loaded it.
Her hands were covered with soapy
water and in attempting to place the
gun on the table for her husband it
slipped to the floor. The hammer on
the gun was raised and in falling was
discharged. Mrs. Weaver had turned
away from the table just before the
gun fell, and the whole load of shot
entered her back. Her husband caught
her as she fell over. DR.. L. G.. Conwell,
former secretary of the State Board of
Health, her uncle, was summoned and
came Immediately to the scene of the
accident; but she had expired before
he arrived. A particularly sad feature
of the tradegy is the fact that two
very small children survive her; tie
Oldest one being two and half years
of age, while the baby is but eighteen
months old. Mrs. Weaver was rs
years of age.

RETURNS FROM GAS" TAX
Estimates Are Exceeded---First Year
Will Total About $4,000.

The revenue from the gasoline tax
has exceeded the estimates made for
it since the law became effective in
April. The receipts for the first six
months have totaled $63,217.24. The
rate during this period was one cent
gallon, and next year this will in
crease to two cents a gallon.
The estimate placed upon this new
source of revenue for it's first year
was between $4,000 and $4,000. 1t
is generally expected to exceed that
amount especially after the new rate
becomes effective. While July was the
leading month in making returns hav-
ing total of $17,824.73 to its credit,
October created some surprise by
ranking second with a total of $14,-
757.07 to its credit.
The receipts from motor vehicle
fees paid thus far total $512,049 which
covers the receipts of the first ten
months. of this year. The month of
January leads by a wide margin on
this return showing a tota lof $780,
ISL.
The receipts from the State traffic
police amounted to $S,15O.68 since it
became, operative in June. This is al
so a new revenue for the State as
prior to this year, the money received
in fines was turned over to the coun-
ty in which the arrest was made. Tie
revenue received from this work is
used for the maintenance of this
branch of the Department.
