MILFORD MILITIA OFFICER
NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
Lieutenant Anthony SOmers Struck
By Machine Gun Bullet

While soldiers of the 19Sth Artil-
liery (anti-aircraft) were success
fully repelling an imaginary attack
on the Delaware coast by enemy
ships and aircraft at Rehoboth on
Monday, First Lieutenant Anthony
Somers, Of Battery F, Milford, mar
roWly escaped death OF serious in
jury, when a machine-gun exploded,
the bullet grazing the side of his
head. He had just stepped out Of the
path the bullet took in its flight from
the gun, which was thought unload
ed. A private, in walking by the
gun, stumbled over it and caused the
detonation.
The bullet first pierced an ammu-
milton case, which was lying close
to the gun, and it probably was in
strumental in saving the young Of
ficer's life. He was Immediately
taken to the camp hospital, where
first aid was administered, and then
returned to duty. Somers is a vet
eran of the World War and during
all of his service never experienced
a gunshot wound. He has also seen
service with the Regular Army, hav-
ing done duty on the Mexican bor-
der during the trouble there in 1916.
Lieutenant Somers was recently
promoted to first lieutenant to sue
ceed Lieut.. Banning who was made
Battalion Adjutant.

SEND TWO
PERSONS TO LOCAL HOSPITAL
W. S. Powers Scalded Badly And
Mrs. COnOWay Has Broken Bone

Two accidents which occurred
near Milford, sent the victims to the
Marshall Hospital within the past
week. Mrs. Walter Conoway Of near
Lincoln, received a fractured collar
bone Saturday evening last when the
automobile in which she was riding
collided with another car. The acci-
dent occurred at the intersection of
the new Lincoln concrete road with
the du Pont Boulevard. One of the
cars was also badly damaged. Mrs.
Conoway was brought to the Mar
shall Hospital where the fracture
was reduced and she was then sent
home.
On Tuesday morning, w. S. Pow
ers, of Roanoke, North Carolina, was
severely scalded while working on
the new road being built from the
Brick Granary to NAPLES Mill. Pow
ers opened a hot water pipe on a
steam shovel and the escaping wa
ter flew over him. He was badly
scalded about the head, face, neck,
shoulders and arms: He was brought
to the Marshall Hospital where the
injuries were dressed. On Wednes-
day he returned to the worl1men's
camp.

STATE WILL PROVIDE
APPLE INSPECTION
Demand For Inspectors Necessi-
tates Increase In Force To Take
Care Of Growers.

W. T. Derickson, director of the
State Bureau of Markets, has sent a
letter to growers and shippers of
late apples in Delaware, calling at
tention to the fact that the official
inspection service of fruits has
grown to such a nextent that it will
be necessary that the department
know the approximate amount of in
spection work to be done on late
apples.
Because Of the unprecedented de-
mand for shipping point inspection
on early apples, it was impossible
for the department to take care of
all the requests for inspection and
because of this fact, the Bureau of
Markets is sending out the notice so
that provision might be made for
enough inspectors.
From reports received as well as
personal inspection by Mr.. Derrick
son, there will be a good crop of late
apples in Delaware this year. The
Stayman winesap, one of the best
fall varieties, is likely to be short
Of the yield in former years. while
the other varieties including York

HIGHWAY COMMISSION ORDERS
SIGNS OFF RIGHT Of WAY
Action Taken To Protect Natural
Scenery And Lessen Accidents

At recent meeting Of the State
Highway Commission the commits
sion went on record as being oppos-
ed to the placing of advertising
signs along the highways on the
right of way of the state. By that is
meant, the signs advertising soft
drinks and ice cream and foods,
which the proprietors of the road
side lunch and service stations have
placed on the state property. There
are several reasons why this is OBJ
jectionable. One is that it increases
the menace to motorists who might
have their attention directed to the
signs and thus lose sight of the fact
they are driving car which is in
motion and another reason is that
the signs do nothing to add to the
natural beauty of the highway but
commercialize the location.
c. D. Buck, chief engineer of the
Highway Commission, has been au-
thorized to have removed all gas
pumps and tanks that may have
been placed on the state right of
way. So far there has been no diff
ficulty about this, the owners Of the
tanks have courteously complied. In
fact there is nothing else for them to
do as the state owns so much prop
erty and the placing of gas tanks or
else of private character
on this right of way is the same as
though neighbor placed rubbish on
the lot of another citizen,

KENT RESIDENTS ASK
ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Want Highway Leading To MahOn
Lighthouse Made PassabIe

At Tuesdays session of the Kent
County Levy Court delegation of
citizens of the county waited on the
court in behalf of the road from Ma
hons Lighthouse, just below Little
Creek to the fast land, which is prac-
tlcally impossible, the keeper of the
light, when coming to fast land be-
ing required to go by boat to Little
Creek and then take his automobile
and drive to Dover for supplies. It
was pointed out that the keeper of
the light was not the only one af-
fected by the bad road, but many
persons who become stranded near
the Mahon light call on the light
house keeper and his family for aid.
In the winter, conditions are such
that in case of sickness or accident,
it is impossible to get over the road
and much distress has been expert
enced by the keeper of the light and
his family in getting aid when such
was really needed.
There is a provision in the law
whereby $400 a year is set aside
from the oyster revenue collections
for the repair and upkeep of this
road to MahOn's but for some rea-
son it has never been used, until
now there is an accumulation Of ov-
er $4,000 which would be put on the
road to make it passable.
There seems to be some question
as just who owns the road and who
should take the initiative in putting
it in condition for travel. The keep
er of the light at Mahon is a gov
ernment officer on government land. |
The marsh leading to the light is
anybody's land, and the
question arises as to who is respon-
sibfe for the upkeep of the road.
The court visited the road and will
likely make some report next week.
The court also visited the county |
Jail at Dover and will likely recon-
mend some improvements for the |
safety of the sheriff as well as to
prevent further escapes from the
prison.
The court passed a resolution pro-
Viding that the poles of the Kent |
County Electric Company shall be at
least 25 feet apart on the county
roads.

abeth Stidham, of Milford, and Mrs.
Emma Taylor, of Philadelphia, left
Milford on Monday for a lengthy
motor trip which will cover many
of the interesting places in the New
England States. The trip is being
made in Mrs. Taylor's automobile.
After leaving Philadelphia the ladies

where a sight seeing tour was plan
ned. From Albany the trip took in
the following cities: Schenectady,
Saratoga Springs, Glen Falls, Will
Jamestown, across the beautiful Mo-
hawk Trail to Boston. From Boston
the route travelled will be along the
sea coast to Portland, Maine. From
Portland they will go to Cape Cod
and Newport, Rhode Island, to New
Haven, Connecticut, and then to New
York City. The trip home will be
along the Lincoln Highway from
that city. Letters received from the
ladies say that the first part of their
trip was delightful and that they
spent Tuesday night in Albany as
planned. The New England States
are blessed with fine highways, and
the scenery at this season of the

PRISONERS MAKE
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Four Men Depart From Dover
Jail After Saving Bars In Cell
WindOw.-NOne Captured.

Within the shadows from the
lights of Sheriff Wixs bedroom, foul
prisoners bodily sawed their way
through stout iron bars in the Dover
Jail Saturday night and gained their
freedom. The prisoners are still al
large.
Those who escaped: Floyd Schaf-
er, parOled soldier deserter, held for
larceny; Frank Jones, held charged
with assaulting young girl; George
COnklin and Stanford ParVis, both of
Dover, charged with larceny.
Using saw which Sheriff Wix de-
clared was handed to them from the
outside, sometime during the day,
with the aid of torn blankets, they
lowered themselves out of the jail
yard. The last of the four was seen
making his escape by the sheriff,
who rushed into the jail from his
house, which adjoins the prison, and
prevented four other men from get
ting out.
The remaining prisoners were
locked in and the sheriff hastened to
telephone police and railroad sta
tiOns and detectives, State highway
police and police of other cities.
The men, who had been locked up
for the evening, only half-hour be-
fore they escaped, apparently did the
work of saving the bars at intervals
during the day. The sheriff said they
concealed their actions completely |
and despite a search of the cells, |
which is made daily, they kept the
saw under cover.
He declared it was very easy for
a person from the outside to hand
an instrument like a saw through
The Jail window, fact which he has
pointed out to officials many times.
It appears the window is in such a
position that access can be had from
and it is supposed this is
low the men procured their instru-
nent.
1t was impossible, Sheriff. Wix de-
dared for him to do any thing in
he way of prevention, when he saw
he last man climbing over the wall.
my efforts at that time to halt them
would have meant the escape of the
theirs. The cells are arranged so
hat all of the prisoners can get to
ommon outlet.
None of the escaped prisoners have
cen captured as yet.

KILLED SUNDAY NIGHT
In AN AUTO ACCIDENT
Harold Kitchens Meets Death
When Thrown From Car To
Concrete ROadbed.
OTHERS SLIGHTLY HURT
Occupants OF Both Cars In Ac-
cident Cut And Bruised But
None Seriously Hurt.

A boy was killed and other occu-
pants of two automobiles were
slightly injured about o'clock Sum
day night when the automobiles in
which they were riding collided on
the GeorgetoWn-Laurel highway. The
dead youth is Harold Kitchens, aged
IL, son of Isaac T. Kitchens, rail-
road engineer of Georgetown. The
accident occurred in a heavy rain
storm, and the drivers of both cars
claim that the lights of the ap-
preaching automobiles blinded them,
as result of which the cars crash
ed together and were badly wreck
ed.
Young Kitchens was riding in a
car driven by Thurman King, Is
years old, of near Georgetown. They
were accompanied by Misses Lillian
Larkin, of Philadelphia, and Marga-
ret Minor, Of Georgetown, and were
returning home from James Camp.
The occupants of the other car were
R. J. Holiday, Of Salisbury, Nd,
owner Of the car and his wife, Mr..
and Mrs. Roland e. Peary and
daughter, Lillian. The impact of the
crash threw Kitchens from the car
and he landed on his head on the
concrete roadbed. His skull was
and badly crushed. Pass
ing motorists took him to George
town where he died at the Office of
DR.. Joseph NAPLES shortly after he
was taken there. The young ladies
and King were slightly cut and
bruised, but none of them were ser
lously injured.
The party in the Holiday car
we're also slightly injured, the occu-
pants receiving cuts and bruises of
4 minor nature. Following the ac-
sident both King and Holiday, driv-
srs of the cars, were held under ST.

new TRAFFIC LIGHTS FOR
MILFORD BUSINESS CENTRE
Heavy Concrete Bases VIII Protect
The Lamps From Careless Drivers

I Town Council, in conjunction with
the State Highway Department. are
this week installing two traffic lights
in the business section of the town
which should greatly aid in the
handling Of traffic One of the lights
is placed at the corner of North
Front and Walnut streets, and the
other at the intersection of South
Front and Walnut streets. The lights
have heavy concrete bases and the
wiring is brought into the lamps
from under the street instead of
from overhead wires. They will
make a much better appearance
than the old delapidated looking
traffic lights which have stood at
these intersections in the past. The
lights are the same type as those
used in Dover and other Delaware
towns on the du Pont Highway
where lights are necessary for hand
ling traffic. Town Council has also
purchased 25 large lights which will
be located on the principal down.
town streets in the near future. They
are Of the same type as the one in
stalled last spring at the corner of
Causey avenue and Railroad avenue.
This light has proven very satisfac-
tory.

JUDGE GEORGE GRAY DIED
AT HIS WILMINGTON HOME
LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Chief Justice Taft
EulOgizes Judge Gray

Upon learning of the death
of Judge George Gray, former
President Taft wired a Will
mington newspaper the follow
ing message:
In the death of George Gray
we have lost a great national
and international figure. His
long and honorable service in
the Senate viewed in retro
spect brings real distinction to
that body. He did most vaIu-
able work in the treaty of Par
is negotiations. His selection
as member of the Hague
Permanent Court properly rec
ognized his standing as an in
ternational jurist. AS arbitra-
tor in the fishery controversy
with Great Britain he earned
the deep respect Of both ma
tions. His wisdom as chair
man Of the arbitrators in the
coal strike put the country
ever in his debt.
He will be greatly missed as
an active regent of the Smith
sonian Institution. He was an
able, learned and fearless Fed
eral judge.
Above all his high and noble
character elevates the average
of the class of men called by
the republic to serve it. I
count it a great privilege and
honor to have been for years
a friend of Judge Gray's and
mourn his death.

SMALL BOY BADLY INJURED
WHEN STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE
Curry KINNEY Sustained fractured
Hip And Other Injuries

Curry KINNEY, five-year-old son
of Nemiah KINNEY, was badly in
jured last Thursday evening when
he was struck by an automobile in
front of the home of his grandpar-
ents on North Walnut street. The
child was crossing the concrete
highway when his grandmother no
ticed the automobile coming to-
wards him. She called to him, and
this apparently confused him for he
is said to have stood still as if be-
wildered. The car was driven by a
seed salesman who was accompany
ing Mr.. A. E. Mum on Grange work.
The driver made an effort to avert
striking the child, but was unsuc-
cessful. Following the accident the
boy was taken to the Marshall Hos
pital where an examination disclos-
ed broken thigh bone, bad cut on
the head and other minor cuts and
bruises. At the present time he is
recovering as well as could be ex-
pected from the nature Of his injur-
les.
