MAN DIES AT HOSPITAL
FROM FRACTURED SKULL
Police Are Investigating Death Of
Joshua Chandler OF MilIsbOrO

Joshua Chandler, of Millsboro,
died at the Milford Emergency Hos
pital early Wednesday morning from
fractured skull. The injured man
was admitted to the hospital on
Monday afternoon suffering with a
severe fracture of the side Of his
skull. The hospital authorities were
informed that the man had received
his injuries on Sunday night. The
injuries were such that the hospital
management deemed it advisable
that an investigation should be made
and the State Highway police were
notified accordingly. State Detect
Donoway has been on the job, but
as yet little evidence has been un-
earthed in the case. 1t is rumored-
that Mrs. Chandler says that her
husband fell against a post Sunday
night and injured his head. Another
rumor is to the effect that a misun-
derstanding between Chandler and a
relative resulted in his injuries. A
corOner's inquest was scheduled for
late Wednesday afternoon at which
time it was hoped that more infor-
nation could be secured. Chandler
is survived by a widow and four
small children. He is brother Of

LEGION HEAD HITS LAXINESS
In LAW ENFORCEMENT
Indifference Of Public And Ineffi-

Declaring that the law-abiding
citizen in some communities is less
secure in person and effects than he
was years ago, National Commander
John R. McQuigg, of the American
Legion, addressed an audience OF
more than $50 people at the Armory
in Dover Tuesday night at a recep-
ton in his honor. He pleaded for
the maintenance of law and order
and in his address told how the
American Legion intends to cooper
ate in law enforcement.
He scored laxness in law enforce
ment and pointed out the unenVi-
able record of the United States
among the nations of the world in
murders and violent crimes.
This condition he traced in large
part to the fact that courts and jur-
les "are allowing too many criminals
to escape" and to the fact that, es-
pecially in the large cities, there is
not an even-handed and impartial
administration of justice.

Delaware Oystermen of Little

on the Delaware Bay, are aroused
over what they term an attempt of

by taking oysters on Delaware
grounds and threats that they will
begin their oystering as soon as they

MISSING DOVER BOY
Is BELIEVED DROWNED
Searchers Continue To Drag Silver
Lake For Body

Search for Victor Graham, the
nine-year-old son of former Sheriff
and Mrs. Charles W. Graham, of
Dover, missing from his home since
early Sunday morning is being con-
tinued, about $50 men working tire
lessly in a futile endeavor to find
either the boy or his body.
The finding Tuesday morning Of
the boys gloves on a sand bank near
Silver Lake, south of Lake Side Gem
etery, had added to the prevailing
opinion that the boy fell into the
lake and was drowned. The gloves
were identified by the boys parents
as the ones Victor had with him
when he left the house Sunday af-
ternoon.
Searchers hunted every foot of
ground, including the woods and the
vicinity of the lake. When the gloves
were found the search of the lake
was renewed. More dynamite was
used and the lake was dragged. The
general opinion of the searchers is
that the boys body is underneath
one of the cakes of ice floating
about in the lake.
Delbert Carty, the 9-year-old chum
of Victor's was again questioned by
the police Tuesday. He insisted the
last he saw of Victor was about 2
O'Clock Sunday afternoon on the
Academy campus; that Victor was
not with him at the lake and that he
knew nothing of his whereabouts.
The Carly boy fell in the lake Sun
day and returned home with his
clothing wet.

BOYS HELD ON CHARGE
OF STEALING MUSKRAT HIDES
Six Milford Youths Accused OF TAX
ing PeItS From Orkin Brothers

Frank Nevin, aged 18, and Frank
Warren, age II, were arrested last
Saturday by State Detective Whar-
ton and officers Courtney and Davis
of the Milford police force, charged
with the theft of muskrat hides.
Writs for the arrest of Russell Bun
ting and Milton Bunting, about the
same age, were issued at that time.
The two latter boys made their es-
cape but were arrested on Monday
by Chief of Police Courtney when
they stepped from a train at the
Milford station. The youths are
charged with the theft of 29S fine
muskrat hides from Orkin Brothers,
local dealers in furs. The hides are
valued at $347. For some time past
Orkins have been missing hides, and
suspicion was directed to the boys
because of their frequent lettering
about the place.
The boys were taken before JUS
tice of the Peace Truitt, where War
rem testified that they had taken the
hides and sold them to Burton Mas
ten, a Milford fur dealer. The boys
were held under $500 bond each for
their appearance at court. Masten
had shipped the hides, in a ship
ment to one of the city markets,
when investigation was made.

PIERRE S. DU POINT
SAYS INCOME TAX LAW
IS SIMPLE AND FAIR
In His Report He Says More
Names Will Be Added To The
List Of TaxabIes.
NOW CHECKING RETURNS
All Returns Made In Past Two
Years Are Being Examined
By Auditors.

Pierre S. du Pont, State School
Tax Commissioner, in his report re-
leased this week, outlines the activ-
tiles of the tax Office under his ad-
ministration, and points out some of
the outstanding facts learned since
he has assumed office. He points
out the simplicity and fairness of
the present state law providing for
the raising of school revenues, and
says that very little change is nee
essary to make it a model of its
kind. He welcomes criticisms from
all having grievances, and says that
annoyance of taxpayers without
necessity of good reason is to be
avoided" The report says that pos
sibly 10000 more names will be add
ed to the present list of those max
ing state income tax returns. In
all there are more than 10000 delin-
quents who have failed to make a
return for one or more years" the
report says in telling of the investi-
cation under way to get at the de-
linquents.
Mr.. du Points report in full is as
follows:
"At the time of the meeting of the
General Assembly of 1925 the de-
plorable condition of the State
School Tax Department was brought
to notice and attention called to the
fact that it was impossible to recon-
dition that Department and to main
tain an efficient system without ex-
pending more money for administra-
tive purposes. 1t is true that the
estimates of funds required were not
based upon detailed information,
which fact may excuse the Assembly
for not adding to the former appro-
priation of $4,000, the 100000 addi-
tional recommended after the brief
survey of the Departments affairs,
or the $4,000 recommended by the
Tax Commissioner. However, an ap-
preparation of $4,000 additional was
voted. Under the law this amount
might be augmented greatly by the
exaction of full legal penalties from
delinquent tax payers.

DRY SUBSTITUTES FOR LIQUID
LTME-SULPHUR Unsatisfactory
Tests Show That San Jose Scale
Can Be Controlled Better

In view of the discussions at the
present time among the fruit grow
ers in the various orchard sections
in the United States regarding the
comparative values of the liquid
lime-sulphur and the dry substitutes
in the control of the San Jose scale,
the orchardists in Delaware may be
interested to know of the results
which have been recently secured on
this subject by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Although the majority of the fruit
growers in this state are not partic-
ularIy concerned about the San Jose
scale because of a control campaign
which was successful in eradicating
this insect a few years ago in the
commercial orchards, there may be
a few growers who are planning to
apply the lime-sulphur to their
trees this spring as precautionary
measure against this species of
scale.
After three years of trials Of a
number of dry lime-sulphur substi-
tutes now offered commercially, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture has
reached the conclusion that horticul-
turists and orchardists who are
obliged to fight the San Jose scale
again this coming spring and sum-
mer will find it to their advantage to
stick to the liquid -lime-sulphuF- or
mineral-oil sprays which they have
used in the past, rather than to de-
pend upon the use of the so-called
dry substitutes.
These experiments which were
conducted by the government includ-
ed 80 tests with dry calcium-sul-
phur, 13 tests with dry sodium sui
phur, and II tests with dry barium-
sulphur. They were carried on un-
der practical orchard conditions in
