FARMERS WIFE ENDS HER LIFE
Mrs. Lewis Knots of Near Milford,
Committed Suicide Monday Morning

Mrs. Lewis Knots of Near Milford,
Committed Suicide Monday Morning
Mrs. Elizabeth Knots, aged 40
years, wife of Lewis Knots, a farmer,
living two miles south of Milford,
committed suicide at her home Mon
day morning, after her husband had
left her home to do some farm work.
Mrs. Knots had become despondent
because of illness. She had taken a
gun, kept in her room, and getting
into bed with it placed the muzzle in
her mouth and pulled the trigger. A
terrible wound followed and death
was instantaneous. She was discov-
cred by her daughter, aged IA years
When DR.. William Marshall, Milford,
arrived at the house there was moth
ing he could do. 1t is supposed the
fact that Mrs. Knots having the bed
clothes over the gun accounts for her
daughter not hearing the report when
the weapon was discharged. Mrs.
Knots, it is thought, got out of bed
after her daughter left her room the
first time and got the gun. The gun
was kept loaded by Mr.. Knots in the
bedroom for chicken thieves. Lewis
Knots, husband of the dead woman,
says he got up early this morning
and leaving his wife in bed went out
to plant peas. His daughter, Sarah,
and a school companion, Mary Verick,
who had spent the night with her,
We're asleep in another room, he said

Colonel Rosenfeld, Baltimore, who
purchased the NJ. D. & V! Railroad
from West Denton to Lewes, and
Judge Carr, also of Baltimore, met
with citizens of Lewes in the Hotel
Rodney on Saturday evening after
meeting citizens of Denton on Satur-
day afternoon. He is holding a sim
liar meeting in Rehoboth to-day. Mr.
ROsenfeld said he proposed to organ
ize company and establish passen-
ger and freight service between Re
hoboth Beach and Baltimore. The
passenger service is to be carried on
by gasoline motor driven cars, but it
will be necessary to purchase a steam
engine to give the freight service. He
proposes to issue per cent. bonds
for about S250,000 to cover the cost
of the road purchase, the motor cars
and the locomotive and other neces-
sary equipment, including a sufficient
amount to put the road in first class
shape. During his trip Saturday he
made arrangements to meet citizens
Of Rehoboth Beach to-day (Wednes-
day., and go over with them the prop
osition, which he claims means much
to Rehoboth Beach-that of having
train service direct to Baltimore
whereby the trip can be made in foul
hours. The RehobOth Beach people
are enthusiastic over the proposition
and want to see it made a fact. Col
onel Rosenfeld says it will also meal

SMYRNA LANDING ROAD REPAIR
d. H. BOyce Appears Before Kent
Levy Court for Better Road Surface

d. H. BOyce Appears Before Kent
Levy Court for Better Road Surface
D. H. Boyce, Of Cheswold, appeared
before the Kent County Levy Court
last week asking for the improvement
of the road from Smyrna to Smyrna
Landing, this road being used to a
great extent in the summer time in
hauling tomatoes to the boat landing,
but because of its almost impossible
condition after a rain, there is much
loss in wagons turning over and de-
stroying large quantities of the tOma-
toes. The request was made that i'm
mediate improvement of this road be
commenced. The Levy Court placed
an order for two road graders for use
in the county; also four split drags,
two to be shipped to Harrington, one
at Clayton and one at Dover to be
used on dirt roads in the several dis
tricts. The bonds of the county con-
stables appointed recently were ap-
proved by the Court. A delegation
appeared before the Court with pet
ition for the improvement of the
White Oak road west of Dover from
Cowgill's Corner to Dover, giving the
rights of way over the entire route
with the exception of two property
owners they being out of the State al
the present time, but willing to sigr
up for right of way. The Court ap
proved of the road and ordered it SEN

Paris Nova protest against anti
Scmitism throughout Europe and par
ticularly against the percentage norm
legislation in the higher schools and
universities directed against Jews, was
adopted at the international Congress
of the League for Human Rights, de-
voted entirely to the Jewish question.
NJ. Ruysscn, General Secretary of the
League of Nations Union submitted a
paper on the minorities in the various
countries. He asserted the Jews alone
of all national minorities cannot eX-
pect support from the neighboring
states and stand in need of interna-
tional protection.
NJ. Aulard, noted historian, en-
phasized it was among the League of
Nations duties to protect the Jews.
Professor Ruyssen's resolution pro-
testing against anti-Semitism and the
numerous c.ausuS, will be forwarded
to the League Of Nations and to the
governments of central and eastern
Europe. The non-assimilated Jewish

In putting into effect the long
cherished plan for II nurses training
school in the Sanatorium the manage
ment has been actuated by several
factors. First, there is the hope that
this school will be able to provide suf-
ficient nurses for the institution: at
present the requirements call for fifty

bed-ridden and ambulance cases, and
the completion of the planned new
building for IL hundred women patients
will further tax the nursing staff. Sec
ond, there is the wish that this school
should serve as an impetus to the
spread of the nursing profession among
Jewish women. Third, there is the i'm

studying nursing are guarding them

Special Dispatch to The Star.

FRESNO, Calf, September 20
California raiSinS are such common
article on the retail grocers shelf to-
day that he is inclined to think of
them as having always had a place
in his store. But in reality the Cali
fOrnia raiSin industry is younger in
age than most of the retail grocers
who are selling raiSins so extensively
It was only SO years ago. on Septem-
ber 9. 1891 that the first carload of
raIsins was shipped from Fresno to
New York and sold in competition
with raisins from Spain and other
Mediterranean countries.
Although the first carload of raiSinS
was shipped East in 1891. raisins
were first grown commercially in
California almost 40 years before that
date. In the SO years since the first
carload of California raisins were
shipped East. the production of Cali
fornia raisinS has increased until
last year more than 250.000 tons of
raisins were harvested by the Cali
fornia growers and more than 5000
cars of raisins were shipped from the
San Joaquin Valley, in California, the
center of the raiSin industry in this
country.
During these 33 years California
raisins have largely supplanted foreign
raisons on the shelves of American
retail grocers and in the homes of the
American people.
