CANAL LOCKS 100 YEARS OLD
Found in Their Original Shape While
Dredging New Waterway Entrance

Found in Their Original Shape While
Dredging New Waterway Entrance
Two locks in the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal, abandoned 10 years
ago, have been uncovered, in the de-
velOpment of the new entrance to the
waterway at Chesapeake City, and
will prove extremely useful. The side
walls and particularly the gates to
the locks, which were built a century
ago, when the canal was constructed,
were found to be unusually well pre-
served, Colonel Earl l. Brown, Engi-
neer Officer, said. Aside from some
deterioration at the top of the gates,
the locks, when uncovered and dredg-
ed, were in excellent condition. The
gates were repaired by the Engineer
Officer, new valves were installed, and
the locks will be used as waste gates,
which will have to be ripped out as
part of the development of the wat
erway. The old locks were only p
feet wide and 100 feet long. Seven
ty years ago they were replaced by
the present single lock, which is "a
feet wide and 220 feet long. Gates
to the old locks, which were made of
wood, were found to have been pre-
served throughout the 70 years dur
ing which they were under water, in
remarkable fashion, indicating that
the original builders of the waterway
were most careful in selection of the
materials used and in the construc-
| tinn of the locks in general.

Crisfield Man Sues to Annul Daugh-

Scores of witnesses have been sum-

ing, of Crisfeld, Nd, against his
second wife's brother, who married

daughter, Emma, says she is 18 years
old and refuses to leave her husband,
Alfred Fluhart. They are living at
the home of Fluhart's parents, who
are parents-in-law of the brides faith
er as we'll as of the bride. Fluhart
and Miss Sterling were married few
weeks ago, after obtaining a marri-
age license in which it was set forth
that the girl was 18 years old. The
day following the wedding, which was
performed without the knowledge or
consent of the girls father, Fluhart
was arrested on a warrant sworn out
by Sterling,in which the father charg-
ed the bridegroom with perjury in
connection with the issuance of the
marriage license. Fluhart was taken
to Princess Anne and given a hearing
before Magistrate Edgar A. Jones

Later he was released in $4,000 bail
for his appearance at the April term

WALTON'S SUPPORT
is PLEDGED TO DAVIS
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. August 15.
j c. Walton, Democratic senatorial
nominee, last night issued his first state
ment since the primary, placing his
stamp of unqualified approval upon
John W. Davis a man and as preSi-
Dental candidate and reaffirming his
opposition to the ku KluX Kan.
THE perpetuation of our Constitution
and the laws and the lofty ideals of the
American citizenry can be placed in no
stronger or ADLER hands than those of

former governor said "hs best en-

complishng Davis election to the presi-
dency and in assisting him in carrying

form.
The statement made a plea for un-
divided support of the Democratic
ticket declaring that the lawlessness
of the ku klux Klan cannot be wiped
out by placing klansmen in office,
whether they stand as Republicans or

LA Toilette is SEEN
AS LOSING STRENGTH
Candidacy Viewed by Senator Fess
as Merely Blocking Popu-
lar Election.

The La Toilette third ticket move
ment can do no more than muddy the
political waters. in the opinion of
Senator Fess of Ohio. Republican, in
4 statement issued today. Senator
Fess predicted that the movement
would decrease with the progress of
the campaign.
THE country never reacts favor
ably toward a. movement cast on no
higher plane than to disturb the re-
sponsible administration of govern
mental affairs" he said
THE La Toilette movement at most
can only block the electoral co'l"~n
choice of President, which will throw
the election into the House, where d
deadlock is almost certain and open
the way for Bryan's election as Vice
President and promotion to the Pres
idency.
N"When this possibility, if not prob
ability, is fully understood by. the
country. the East will solidify be-
hind Coolidge and the Republican
West will not throw away it's vote by
voting for the wrecker of the party
to which they had long been at
tached
The effort to unity the elements
by selecting two men representing
the two extremes will not succeed.
While Davis may please the East in
the light of Democracy's leadership
for the past quarter century and the
character of attack of that leader
ship. he will not be accaDta BILE to the
West While Bryan will be accept
able as Democrat to the West. in
the light Of the attitude of Demo-
cratic leadership in the East he will
not be acceptable there. A ticket so
built as this one will not and can not
appeal to the country.
