TRUCE IS FINALLY DECLARED
IN VIGOROUS WAR OVER CRABS
LEIPSIC TOOK A STAND AND IN
VOKED AID OF STATE POLICE
Marylanders Agree to Withdraw from
Disputed Waters of the Bay and
End the Incident

Warfare between Delaware and
Maryland crabbers, which has been
raging for a fortnight along Della
ware Bay and the creeks in the vicin-
ity of Leipsic, entered a stage of
truce last week when the invading
crabbers from Maryland agreed to
withdraw temporarily and conduct
their operations in the free waters of
the bay. Trouble began a few weeks
ago, having its genesis in the unusual
scarcity of crabs this season in Chesa-
peake Bay. The supply in the Girls
field-Cambridge section has been the
smallest in years and, as a conse-
quence, many crabbers are out of
! work, while the crab houses, usually
running at top speed, are finding it
difficult to keep going at all.
Under these conditions a party of
35 or 40 crabbers sailed from Hoopers
Island, just below Crisfeld, travelling
in Is power boats, came through the
Chesapeake & Delaware canal and
into Delaware Bay to Duck and Leip-
sic Creeks, where they found the
heaviest run of crabs that section has
witnessed in many years.
The Marylanders were unmOlesteC
by the Delawareans for several days
but when the local crabbers discovered
that the invaders had virtually broker
the market with unprecedented catch.
es,the trouble started and,when peace
able methods failed, brought the law
into play, asserting the Maryland
crabbers had no legal right to fisl
Delaware waters for profit. The in
vaders gained few days and cOntin
ued to roll up profits, with the cOunte
assertion that they were all resident
of SeafOrd.
Leipsic took its last stand with tn
aid of state police and a game ward
en-. The invaders were asked to leave

 Charles Frey

Mlneola, N. r.. Oct. 23 R>-wilda Bennett, musical comedy actress and Charles C. Frey. turfman, are merely friends and nothing more according 10 testimony given by the actress. She is being sued by Mrs Frey for Sl0o,oO0 and the charge of alienating Frey's affections.
 The actress told jury yesterday that she had not known that Frey was married until she was served with papers in the alienating suit.
 Neither Frey nor any other man ever stayed at her big Long Island home unless her cousin and chaper- one was present she insisted. h. stead Of living In her house, as charged, Frey had a cottage just across the street.
 "Dld you ever live in that cot tage?" Mrs. Frey's counsel asked.
 "Yes, at present." the actress an- swered with a tilt of the chin.
 She met Frey first in 1923 at the Empire City. track.
 He told me the name of a good horse" she said. T bet on that horse and later told him he had saved my life because that made me winner. l told him to drop in and to see me some time"
 Frey, who preceded Miss Bennett on the stand, denied that he had ever breakfasted in his pajamas with the actress, as had been testi- fled by former butler of hers. Shown a bathing suit picture of him. self with his arms around d young woman, he denied that It was Miss Bennett, and said he could not say who 1t was, that 1t might be any one of a large number. Miss Bennett took off her hat to exhibit her black bobbed hair for the court and Mrs. Frey to contrast 1t to the long, light and fluffy hair of the photo graph.
 Frey refused to name a woman who lived with him for three months in one of his two New York apart ments, but denied that 1t was Miss Bennett.
 He denied that Miss Bonnet lured him away from his wife.

PRESENT MINISTER
 \ WITH MOTOR CAR
Members Of Methodist Church Surprise Rev. ". H. AlderSOn

Rev. and Mrs. W. II. Alderson were presented with a new sedan at a roast duck dinner served in tho Burritt hotel last evening just before the weekly prayer meeting at Trinity Methodist church. The presentation was complete surprise 10 the minister and his wife.
 Notified that officials and promi- nent members of the church were going 10 have a dinner at the hotel, Rev. Mir. Alderson and his wife were invited to be present. A. A.. Mills stated that he had just pur- chased a new car and would drive them to the hotel. At the ap- pointed time MT. Mills with the new car arrived at the parsonage on Russell street and conveyed the pastor and his wife to the scene of festivities.
 At the hotel Mir. Mills immedi- ately became the butt of many jokes for buying a "cheap car" Finally, in mock indignation he said. "Oh. you people make me tired. If you aren't satisfied with the car. take 1t yourselves and do whatever you want with it."
 Attorney M. II. Camp, who pre- sided, finding himself with a car thrust upon him for which he had no use, requested Dugald McNIillan to accept 1t for the church and dis pose of 1t In the most practical manner. Mir. McMillan did this by presenting it 10 the minister. With the presentation went bill of sale. formal transfer of property drawn Up In Attorney Camps office, an in- surance policy covering loss by fire. theft or accident, and a regis tration certificate.
 While he did not previously own car, Rev. Mir. Alderson was an ambulance driver in the army dur Ing the world war and distinguished himself for bravery. ...
 Although he has been here but a short time Rev. Mir. Anderson has attached himself to his parishioners and friends. It is common com ment in the Methodist church that no previous minister ever became so popular as Rev. Mir. Alderson In his first few months. The car pre- sented 10 him last evening cost ap- proximately- $1.000 and was pnr- chased by contributions from mem- bers. several of whom put In s100 each and number of others con- tributing $50 and s75. Not con- tribution of less than $10 was re- ceived.
