DIR. MARVIN DEFENDED
BY TUCSON CITIZENS

Friends Of DR.. Marvin, president
of the state university. whom it is
generally understood will not be re-
appointed president of that institu-
ton, have compiled a list of points
CLEANED from the recent hearings
held by the board of regents, which
will be Of interest to those interest
ed in the case. They point out:
l. The anti-administration Regents
have been holding private confer
ences in an attempt to strengthen
their claims at the next meeting of
the board on August z.
2. The four regents favoring the
administration are men who have had
a college education and are familiar
with conditions existing in colleges
and universities.
8. The four regents opposing DR..
Marvin have not had college edu-
cation.
4. DIR. Lockwood, the high light in
the opposition, has registered as a
Republican up until this year when
he joined the Hunt for Governor club
evidently to further his own ends.
5. w. d. Upshaw, the editor of
the opposition paper, was violently
opposed to Governor Hunt in his last
campaign as back issues of his paper
show. This year he supports Hunt.
6. Dean Butler of the mining coli
lege, Dean Creager of the education
college, Dean Thornber of the agricul-
ture college, and Director Fegtley of
the law school have supported DR..
Marvin in his actions.
The Coconino sun., 1926-08-06

AS a result the standing of the uni
versity has been raised great deal
in the past four years.
Continued .rAnorts given out by the
anti-administration to the effect that
DR.. Marvin is guilty of continued-ly-
ing have not been substantiated as
shown by a careful perusal of the
transcript of the Investigation by Di-
rector Samuel Fegtley of the Law
School.
There is on record only two in
stances where DIR. Marvin was accus-
ed of falsifying by the objectors dur
ing the investigation, and in neither
case was proof offered by the COM
planning parties. 1t was merely then
a case of one mans word against
another.

WILL USE COPPER WIRE
ON COOLIDGE DAM

A distinct victory for copper, one of
Arizonas principal products, was re-
corded when Representative Carl
Hayden secured consideration of the
red metal on a fair basis for con-
struction of power lines in connection
with the Coolidge dam on the Gila
river.
Hayden, informed by the Arizona
Industrial congress that bids had
been called for July 80 for so miles
of aluminium wiring from the Cool
idge dam site to Hayden, appealed
to Indian Commissioner Burke and
G. r. AOldberg, engineer in charge of
the project, for rejection of these bids
and calling of competitive bids to in
clude copper wiring.
The congressman received word
today that authority had been asked
by 0ldberg to reject bids and recon-
made and that new bids
be called for to include copper wiring.

DELAWARE BOYS AND GIRLS
WIN HONORS AT EXPOSITION
THE EXHIBITS AT SPRINGFIELD
BRINGS DELAWARE TO FRONT
Sweet Potatoes and Pies of Real Del
aware Flavor, Much in Demand
Throughout the Exposition

The twelve Delaware boys and girls
members Of various All clubs thru
out the state who attended the East
ern States Exhibition at Camp Vail,
Springfield, Mass, last week, where
they competed with club members in
various events from twelve other
eastern states, have returned home
much pleased with the trip. They up
held the high standard set in previous
years BY other Delaware groups at
this exposition and won some high
honors. In the Delaware demonstra-
ton booth the six Delaware girls un-
der direction of Anne B. Moore, coun-
ty club agent of Sussex county, made
and baked 1850 sweet potato pies.
These pies were sold from the booth
by the boys and girls, and the fact
that all pies were sold by / o'clock
each afternoon was proof positive Of
the effectiveness of this method Of ad-
vertising Delaware sweets.
Not to be outdone BY the girls the
boys constructed a miniature sweet
potato farm, complete with plant
beds and rows Of growing sweet po-
tatoes, demonstrating the care which
Delaware growers use in growing the
best quality of sweet potatoes. During
the entire week the booth was the
center of interested groups of visitors
at the exposition. 1t was estimated
that between fifty and seventy-fve
thousand people passed by the booth
during the week.
In their judging work the Delaware
club members added to the records al
ready established in former years,and
which have not been surpassed by any
of the competing states. Dorsey Kin
namon of the Oak Grove Club, of Do
yer, won first honor ribbon in potato
judging in competition with the boys
from the potato state of Maine and
Vermont. His club mates Charles
Paradee, won third ribbon in this
class which included about 25 boys.
Mabel Culver and Edith Staples, of
Bridgeville, both won first honor rib
bons in bread judging, and stood at
the top of the list of champion bread
making teams from the other states.
Elizabeth Wilson, of Dover, and
Frances Sartin and Louise Warner, of
st. Georges, all won second honor rib
bons in clothing judging, and as
group scored more points than any
other state in this class.
Claudel Cannon, Of Bridgeville, and
Louis Edgelle, Of Greenwood, won
first and second honor ribbons for
their corn judging.
In speaking of these honors, a. D.
Cobb, state leader Of county agents,
who was in charge of the group said:
"We are particularly proud Of this
group because we did not give them
any special training in judging for
these events. What they knew they
learned in their regular club meetings
ard project work. It has proved to
US that we are getting over to them
essential facts in connection with
their farm and home projects"

INSPECT ROADS AND BRIDGES
New Castle Levy Court Members Re
turn Home After 1000 Mile Trip

Members of the Levy Court, Coun-
ty Engineer Charles E. Grubb, and
Assistant Engineer a. P. Shaw have
returned after a motor trip Of about
1000 miles through Pennsylvania
and New York State, during which
various types of roads and bridges
were inspected. Engineer Grubb
and Delaware S. Wright, presi-
dent of the court, stated that what
they were most impressed with on the
trip was the completeness of the sys-
TEN of direction and warning signs
maintained on the roads. The dele
cation, as a result of their trip, are
putting their thoughts on bettering
the sign system in New Castle county,
pointing out the great advantages of
signs, both direction and warning
signs, to tourists who are not ac-
quainted with the roads. The ques-
ton of signs will in all likelihood re-
ceive serious consideration from the
Levy Court. The members of the del
cation learned that New Castle Coun-
ty is keeping pace with other states
in road and bridge construction and is
far in advance of many localities in
such work. "But you never can go
away without learning something"
Mr.. Grubb remarked. Engineers in
building roads and bridges through a
great portion of the territory covered
experience much difficulty in their
work because of the mountainous top
ography Of the country. Members of
the party point out the impression
that tourist gets in being able to
travel over many hundred miles Of
virtually perfect highways and the
advantage of the great system Of
good highways in this country is to
the motor traveller. The members of
the Levy Court in the party were Mr..
Wright, Herman D. Faulkner, Charles
Simon, Jr., James a. Hart and Mr..
Truitt. They left Wilmington Tues
day. The delegation met and confer
red with road building bodies at
Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre and several other places
and were taken on road and bridge in
spection tours. The delegation paid
most attention to bridge work.

ment was started at that time to pur-
chase such a machine to serve the

ed to secure information on the diff
ferent makes and to report same at

ROY PETTYJoHN FOR AUDITOR
Milford Man Selected by Democratic
State Committee to Succeed Lank


The Democratic State Committee at
their meeting in Dover on Thursday
afternoon selected Roy Pettyjohn, Of
Milford as the party's candidate for
the office of State Auditor of Accounts
to be voted for at the coming general
election. Mr.. Pettyjohn will succeed
William M. Lank, Of Milton, who was
the candidate selected by the State
convention. Mr.. Lank, after giving
the matter serious consideration, found
that if elected, it would be impossible
for him to give the Office the proper
attention, SO he decided to withdraw
from the ticket and notified Harry
'T. Graham, Of Wilmington, of his de-
sire to retire from the ticket. Mr..
Graham Immediately arranged for
Thursdays meeting Of the State Com
mittee in order that another candidate
might be selected. AT a meeting Of
the Sussex county Democratic com
mittee, Mr.. Pettyjohn was unanim-
ously endorsed for the nomination and
the State Committee followed out the
recommendations of the Sussex body.
Mr.. Pettyjohn has long record Of
active work in the interest Of the
Democratic party. Four years ago
he was member Of the House of
Representatives where he made an
enviable record. Two. years ago he
was the Democratic candidate for
Levy Court Commissioner in Sussex
county but was defeated. Among the
party workers who were in Dover on
Thursday, the general impression pre-
vailed that Mr.. Pettyjohn would add
strength to the Democratic ticket. He
is known as strong campaigner and
has a host of friends throughout the
State. The candidates on the State
ticket attended the meeting and plans
for the campaign we're discussed. AS
was previously announced the cam
paign in Kent will open this week
in Kent county will open next week
when the candidates will visit the
county and tour almost every section
in their effort to bring their issues to
the attention of the voters.
Following the meeting of the State
Committee, a session of the Kent
County Committee was held with a
very large percentage Of the mem
bers present. Plans for the tour thru
out the county next week were made
and numerous other matters given at
tention. The candidates for the var
ious county and district offices to be
filled at the general election We're
present and some Of them addressed
the meeting urging the members to
work hard in their respective districts
during the coming campaign. Special
emphasis was laid upon the necessity
Of having every voter registered and
it was pointed out that only one more
registration day remains for this
work to be accomplished.

AT the weekly meeting Of Dover
Rotary Club, Frank @. Bancroft was
the principal speaker, emphasizing
the Importance Of agriculture as the
basic industry Of the country and
showing how the prosperity of all 9th
er lines Of industry are more or less
governed by the prosperity of the
farms. Prof. Clarence Short, presi-
dent of Wesley Collegiate Institute,
was in charge of the meeting and in
his Introductory remarks emphasized
the necessity and value of service. Dr.
Irwin Boyd was introduced as a new
member of the club. The program
for next week will include a report
of the executive conference of Rotary
Clubs in the 50th district. which was
held in Atlantic City last week and
which was attended by the president,
DIR. T. r. Brown and H. H. Hanson,
who represented the Dover club.

OUR STATE HIGHWAY POLICE
Suggestion Made That State Funds
Not Highway, Should Support Them

The State Highway Department Po-
lice were originally started to protect
the state highways from physical
harm or injury by overloaded vehicles
and to regulate traffic. There was no
specific provision by law for them,
however, they were organized and de-
veloped under the maintenance of
highway" provisions of the State
Highway law and are still carried on
by the use of this maintenance (of
highways money. The force has al
most strayed away from these duties
and devotes large part of its time
to the enforcement of other laws that
have nothing to do with the State
Highway Department. One effect of
this change they no longer consider
themselves sons of the department
and have adopted a new name-cal'
them by telephone, the invariable an
swer is estate Police,
speaking" Another result and more
to be deprecated is that Highway
Maintenance funds are being spent to
enforce laws that have nothing to do
with the State Highway Department.
The chief engineer of the State High
way Department is the head of the
State Highway Department Police,
Notwithstanding that there is super
intendent, or law enforcement by an
executive with no such authorized
powers, even by virtue of his office,
is some anomaly. However, the Po-
lice have earned place for them
selves and should be continued, but
this Force should stand on its own
bottom, spend its own money, and be
attached to the law enforcing Depart
ment of the State government, leav-
ing the State Highway Department
money to be used for Highway purpos-
es.
The annual cost of the Police, ap-
proximately $4,000, could be used to
take up interest and sinking fund
charges on $1,0OO,0O0 of State Aid
County, bonds as proposed by the
Democratic and Republican platforms.

both Property at Meeting in Dover
A brief meeting of the Public Lands
Commission was held at Dover late
Wednesday afternoon in the COVER
nor's parlors with R. R. Kenney, Ed
ward G. Walls, Harry J. Anderson,
and Governor Robinson present. James
H. Hughes, Jr., representing David I.
Marvel, presented a request for the
signing of a deed to a strip of land
adjoining the property of Mr.. Marvel
at Rehoboth, about which there had
been some discussion over the line.
After hearing the case, a deed was
given Mr.. Marvel signed by Messrs.
Kenney, Walls and Anderson, the con-
sideration being $5. ]. Hall Anderson
appeared before the commission rela-
tive to farm recently purchased by
his brother, Daniel Anderson, there
being some contention as to the lines
Of the farm which lies between Reho-
both and Cape Henlopen, the claim
being that it runs across the canal
marsh and part Of the ocean front.
Members of the commission could not
clearly see that the lines were SO To-
Gated and because Of the lateness of
til hour, the further consideration of
the matter was deferred until later
