RIGHT OF CATTLE ON HIGHWAY
Clark Fined $50 After His Motorcycle
Runs Into and Kills HOrse-Appealed

Clark Fined $50 After His Motorcycle
Runs Into and Kills HOrse-Appealed
A case that has great interest for
the farmers was heard in Magistrate
Ninton's court at st. Georges Thurs
day afternoon, and will be reheard
later in the Court of General Sessions
at Wilmington, as an appeal was
made from the decision of Magistrate
Vinton. The case dealt with the right
of cattle or live stock on the state
highway. Clarence Clark of $40 King
street, Wilmington, was driving mo-
tOrcycle with sidecar attachment on
the state highway below st. Georges.
His wife occupied the seat in the side
car. When opposite the farm Of
Thomas Sartin, Clark ran into a horse
that was one of several that were
being driven from the pasture on one
side Of the road over to the barn on
the other side. The impact of the car
against the horse threw Mrs. Clark
out of the machine and injured her.
She was cut badly in the fall. The
machine was considerably damaged.
Mr.. Clark escaped win a severe shak-
| ing up. The horse that was run into
was killed outright. Highway Officer
Ritter arrested Clark on a charge of
reckless driving. Clark was repre-
sented by Attorney Lilley of Will
mington. After hearing the testi-
mony of Mr.. Sartin that Clark was
driving at the rate of 35 miles ar
hour, and did not slow up when he
saw the cattle and horses crossing
the road, Magistrate Vinton fneC
Clark $50 and costs. After this de-
cision, Attorney Lilley gave notice O.
an appeal from the decision. He bas
ed his appeal on the following reason
"That no stock have a right to eros
the highway unless tied with a rop
or have competent herders a hundre
feet on each side of the road wher
they are crossing to stop other traffi
that might happen along at the time
At the time Attorney Lilley CAV
notice of an appeal from the decisio
of Magistrate Vinton, he also enter
, ed suit against Sartin on behalf 0
Clark for 500 damages.

C.&D. CANAL COMPLETE IN 1926
General Taylor Finds. Construction
Work Progressing Rapidly

At a conference with General
Harry Taylor, the new chief of the
United States Army Engineers, af-
ter a review of troops at Fort du
Pont, last week, former Mayor Moore
of Philadelphia, president of the At
lantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton, was informed that the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal construc-
tiOn work was progressing so favor
ably that it would be completed in
1926. General Taylor, who had com
pleted an inspection of the canal the
day before, was much pleased with
the work and the plans, saying that
every bridge would be so constructed
as to admit ultimately of the pas
sage of seagOing vessels. 1t was ar
range that Mr.. Moore, who pushed
through Congress the legislation for
the taking over of the canal, should
accompany Colonial Earl /. Brown, of
Wilmington, the divisional engineer,
on an inspection this week. While in
conference with General Taylor Pres
ident Moore learned that ample funds
were in hand to continue work upon
the 35-foot Delaware River channel
project, and to look after mainten-
ance until a new river and harbor bill
is passed. Congress having failed al
the last session to pass such a bill.

Editor of Herald While reading

steps will be taken to accomplish the

We all know, Gas Mayor Parker has

the ice is safe and too often do not
wait until it is safe.
The American Legion boys have
Ito the writer's knowledge) solved
this problem. They have asked per-
mission of the school board for the
school field and have agreed to keep
the field in excellent condition for
skating by overlooking it and keeping
it smooth. To this ice rink one could
send their children and not feel they
were going to be informed of the
tragic death by drowning of one of
their loved ones.

would deprive her boy or girl of real,

Prohibition Unit. 1t is currently re-
ported that he was inspired by per-
sonal motives. Secretary Mellon and
the Senator had an argument over tax
matters. The investigation was the
outcome of the disagreement between
the two richest men in public life.
The time of the Senate has been
taken up with prolonged debate on
the Muscle Shoals project. Several
legislative propositions have been Of
fered to dispose of the property in
Alabama but there are no signs of
agreement on any plan or any likeli-
hood of an early compromise. Though
President Coolidge has indicated that
he would favor quick disposition of
the "white elephant left over from
the war, the various groups of legis-
lative agents working on the matter
continue an agitation which will make
settlement difficult. =
Congress must talk about some
thing whether the subject is impor-
tant to the nations welfare or not. 1t
seems reasoable to believe now
that only appropriations bills will be
enacted at the short session ending
March a. There is likelihood that
serious attention will be given to the
MacFadden branch banking bill as
relatively little opposition has de-
veloped to this proposition.
Representative OF organized labor
are working vigorously to bring about
a rebuke to President Coolidge for
his veto of the postal salary bill at
the last session. This subject more
than any other legislative measure is
an amending source of bother and
concern to the Senate and House.
The fact that the President vetoed
the measure giving specific reasons
for this action, brings out delicate
situation for senators and congress-
men who were elected in November
on promises to support the Admins
tration's legislative program. 1t
seems that even the minority MEM
bers are reluctant to take up the We
to at least until after the holidays.
The postal salary bill provides mark
ed increases in the pay of approx
mately $4,000 postal employees av-
eraging about $500 each. 1t is said
that legislators from rural districts
who were enthusiastic supporters of
the postal salary bill before the cleo
ton, are now in a quandary.
Though there has been much talk
about agricultural legislation at this
session, the signs are against the
proposition. If Cogress follows the
Presidents recommendations it must
await the report of the recently APP
pointed Agricultural Commission.
Chairman Haugen, of Iowa, speaking
for the House Agricultural Com
mittee, has made clear the fact that
no drastic agrarian measures will be
presented at this session. He takes
the position that it would be folly to
attempt haphazard measures when a
scientific body, such as the Agricul-
tural Commission, is now at work
trying to find a way out for Federal
aid to farmers. Haugen was one of
the authors of the McNary-Haugen
bill which the President opposed at
the last session. The bill ultimately
failed because of the uneconomic
lines upon which it was drawn calling
for hevay drains on the public treas
ury.
