Hall. republican candi- date for state senator, in the course of a speech at the rally in Odd Fellows hall last night under the auspices of the local Swedish American Republican club. Mr. Hall discussed the gasoline tax and advocated its retention, and also undertook a defense of the present system of appointing members of the Public Utilities commission from the attacks made upon it by the Democratic candidates for office.
 The rally was one of the most successful ever held by the Swedish American club, several hundred filling the seats in the hall when Rev. Dr. Sven G. Ohman, the princi- pal speaker of the night, was called upon by Emil J. Danbcrg, president of the club, to deliver his address. Dr. Ohman did not enter into dis cussion of'local or state politics, con- fning his speech to consideration of the national situation in which he laudcd President Coolidge and the Republican administration, com- pared the platform of the third party to Soviet and Communist rule in Russia, and reIcgated the Demo- cratic candidates out of the race l with littIe comment

 The attack on the constitution by the third party, if successful would mean nothing but chaos, the speaker said, nothing but so, etlsm. It would sound natural if such a proposition as put forward by the La Toilette supporters originated in Russia, but 1t Is a different matter when the au- thor is a member of the United States senate, he said. for 1t means nothing but sovletism and com- munism. If you want to prepare for a revolution that will shake the foundation of our country, vote for La Toilette" he said.

STORM VISITS SUSSEX
Reports From SeafOrd Say Damage
In That District Was Severe.

Reports from the western part OF
Sussex county indicate that the wind
and rain storm which visited lower
Delaware late last Saturday afternoon
did much severe property damage in
that district. The windstorm seemed
to center about Wesley district, three
miles from SeafOrd. In this locality
buildings were blown over, roofs were
taken away trees were leveled to the
ground and other growing crops were
injured, in many instances beyond re-
pair. The storm in its greatest intens-
1ty seemed to have a width of about a
mile. In the pathway of the twister
there were very few farms that did
not report some injury of either the
buildings or the growing crops. In
Caroline county, Maryland, the dam
age was equally as great. From Del
mar comes the report that some of the
farmers report that their white potar
% vines were pulled from the ground
md piled in piles along the road ways.
In the eastern part of Sussex coun-
y the rain storm was accompanied by
heavy wind, but in only a few
places were there reports of any great
iamage. At Milford no damage was
lone. In some sections of Slaughter
Week few trees were blown over, but
his was the extent of the damage.

Clark Wisserman, of Greenwood, is
IN the Dover jail, awaiting trial on
the charge of attempted chicken steal
ing, and a writ has been issued for
the arrest of David Messick, of near
Prettyman's Corner, on the same
charge. These charges were brought
against the men by Chris Christensen,
who resides on the farm known as the
old Fisher Farm" between Milford
and Houston. Both men are white. The
story connected with their trouble is
interesting.
For several weeks past Mr.. Christ
ensen has been missing his chickens.
until a total of approximately six
hundred fowls have disappeared.
When things reached this STAGE, he
htted up room in one of the poultry
houses as bed room and commenc-
ed to sleep there 20 guard his prop
erty. On Tuesday night, shortly after
he had gone to the poultry house, he
was attracted by a fashlight being
used in the house. Two men were
within few feet of the spot
where he was hidden. He says that
he could easily have killed both of
them, had he so desired. When they
saw him they ran, but not before be !
had shot at them as they disappear
ed around the poultry houses.
In their effort to escape one of the
men lost his cap, and they abandoned
IN automobile that they had left in
he public road several yards from the
christensen property. The men had |,
'rought a chicken coop covered with
! blanket to the poultry houses with
hem, and beside the abandoned au-
omobile two more coOps were left. /,
he automobile license tag number
howed that Wisserman was the own 7
r of the car A watch was kept for
ny persons who might come after the Y
ar, and on Wednesday afternoon
came for the car. He was
aptured and brought before Justice A
the Peace Hendrixson who held him
nder 100000 bail for court. He did n
Ot secure bail and was taken to the
over Jail to await trial. The writ for @
le arrest of Messick was issued when

NO BAN ON SABBATH DAY
Efforts To Forbid Theatre Attend

By Conference.

The Methodist ban upon amuse.

was lifted on Tuesday by five IN
one vote Of the Methodist EpisconaI
general conference at Springfield,
Mass.
A minority report fOrbidding thea
tire attendance on Sundays and speci-
flying dancing and immoral theatre
performances was tabled by 46O votes
to 295.
There was no debate. DR.. George Ell
lott, Of Detroit, presented the major
ity report OF a standing committee on
the state of the church and w. M.
Short Of Fort Worth, Texas, spoke
for the minority report. The adoption
OF the former removed restrictions
against dancing, games of chance and
all theatre attendance, in force since
the church's inception.
we are not beating a retreat. We
are going forward" DR.. Elliott said.
Religion must appeal to the con-
science and it is the conscience of
men that must be treated. This new
law goes back to Wesley and Paul
and Jesus Christ and goes forward to
time when law shall be no more
because written in the hearts of men"
Besides the change in the church
law, which applied to section 2SO of
the discipline, the majority report al
tered the definitions given in para

discipline, which warned against |
theatre going" so as to read as fol-
lows:
"* We lift up a solemn note
of warning and entreaty, particularly
against attendance upon immoral, |.
questionable and misleading theatri-
cal and motion picture performances"
Tuesdays action, in keeping with a
recommendation made in the address L
of the bishops earlier in the month, {
ended an issue which for decades has
caused dissension in the church at /
large, and at the general conference. Il
To avoid such a conflict this time, the \
Rev. James R. Gettys, of University I
Place, Nebraska, moved after the S
reading of the reports that they be I

TEN ROOKIE POLICE
QUALIFY FOR JOBS

len OF the twenty-fOur candidates
for the training school for the Del
aware State highway policemen are
expected to be chosen by CAPTAIN r.
H. Williams of the Maryland State
police, as satisfactory for the State
police force. The results of the train
ing school course, which is being held
at Dover, will be made public at the
end of this week when the school will
close. Captain Williams has been COM
missioned by the Delaware State
Highway Commission to increase the
force.
After the ten men for the force
are selected, they will be given a try
out under actual working conditions.
Those who are able to stand the gaff
will be retained and if any fail they
will be replaced by others whose rec
ord is next highest.
In discussing the men whom he is
training Captain Williams said the
candidates were splendid material and
on par with those he had trained in
other states for state police jobs. The
big difficulty, he said, is to keep the
men after they have become efficient |
officers. Not only in Delaware but in |
Maryland, the pay of State policemen |
is not as attractive as that paid by |
private corporations, and many times,
after a state policeman has disting-
uished himself with the State he is L
made a fiattering offer by some rail-
road or other corporation that needs
private detectives or officers and the
inducement of more pay usually re-
suits in the State policeman resigning
his job.
