ed as they were not on the embargo
list.
The cargo was then sealed and
Mr.. Murphy given his papers and
these were shown to the Delaware
inspection officers.
With a view of heading off a Sc
riOus invasion of Delaware by Jap
anese beetles, the State Board of
Agriculture, with the approval OF
Governor Robinson, has declared an
embargo on shipment of all peaches
into or out of the State until the
fruit has been passed upon by Fed
eral or State inspectors.
This drastic action has been taken
as a result of the discovery in Mil
ford of beetles, which had entered
the State on peaches from New Jer-
sey by motor truck without having
first been inspected. The embargo
was decided upon at a conference
Friday afternoon, attended by the
Governor, Oliver A. Newton, presi-
dent. Ralph c. Wilson, secretary, and
Newton L. Grub, member of the
State Board of Agriculture. w. E.
Cranston, director of the Japanese
Beetle Office in Delaware, also was
present.
Word of the embargo was flashed
to the beetle inspectors throughout
the quarantine Immediately, and |
the work of inspecting every ship
ment of peaches was begun at once.
At a special meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture at Dover Satur-
day morning the following formal
resolution was adopted:
"That all peaches in the infected
and territory quarantined
against the Japanese Beetle are
hereby prohibited from coming into
Delaware without inspection by Fed
sral or State Inspectors.

Powerful in simplicity, Mr.. dc
Mile set his modern scene for one
group Of intensely vital characters.
Gone are the thunders and light
nings Of Sinai-thc lapse OF idolatry
and It's dire punishment--the divine
re-birth of nation, and the ordi-
nance of its keeping. Once thun-
dered and lightened from Sinai, the
commandments are now within the
covers Of Book. What say they to
modern lifeo What have these five
people to do with them? That is the
theme Of this modern melodrama.
The Capitol presentation is won-
derful. An augmented orchestra is
playing the original music score, the
effects are hair-raising, and the pic
ture is being shown four times
daily, at $50, 1870, 7;o5, and 9:l5.
There are special shows for chill
