'Teterdem" is the disease recently
discovered among rabbits and some
birds. but 50 far as known it has not
appeared in Delaware, according to
John P. LeFevre, Chief Game Warden.
Reports show that this disease has and
does prevail in the West and for this
reason there will be a cessation Of the
shipment Of rabbits from the West
for period to be determined by the
State Game and Fish Commission. It
is understood that the disease affects
the liver of the rabbit by having white
streaks and when this is found it
shows that the animal has this dis
ease. 1t is said to be infectious and
very dangerous and fatal and where
it prevails orders are issued that the
handling Of such rabbits be abandoned
as it is likely to infect the human sys-
tenn fatally.

Extinction Of Fur Animals Threatened

Extinction of Fur Animals Threatened
Disregard Of the law by trappers is
causing the fur catch to decline at an
alarming rate. Paul G. Redington,
chief Of the biological survey, said in
announcing the 1925-26 catch was 20
Per cent less than the previous year
and that in the 1926-27 season the de-
cline was even greater. If the states
10 not take the steps needed for pro-
lection Of their stocks Of fur animals,
the revenue from this source is sure
to diminish, and, Of far greater i'm
port, many Of the former suitable
haunts Of these valuable and interest
ing animals will know them no more.
Trapping should be allowed only dur
ing the period Of prime fur and should
not include the breeding season." said
Mr.. Redington.

]. $. $. SURVEYOR IS AN INSTITUTION
 RATHER THAN SHIP
CAPTAIN LUkENS PLAYS HOST TO INTERESTED VISITORS TO
 VESSEL SUNDAY p. M

Many visitors accepted the invita- tion of Captain Lukens of the U. s. s. Surveyor. which anchored in the har bor over Sunday, the launch running between the ship and the shore being kept busy transporting all those who desired to get an inside glimpse of what the ship and it's officers and crew are doing to make navigation safe for the men who go down to the sea-"
 Among the first thing they discov- cred was that the Surveyor is an in- stitution as much as ship, and that thoroughness characteristic of Uncle Sam's sea dogs of war permeates the handsome craft from stem to stern.
 Luxury there is, but it is hidden away down aft where Captain Lukens has a reception and lounging room radiating cosiness and refined good taste Then there is Captain Luken's "boudoir." A lady described it as just a dear" with it's pretty furnish ings and completeness.
 But it was not the esthetic atmos- phere of the ship Captain Lukens de- sired to show so much as it was the purely utilitarian virtues of the Sur veyor, chief among which were the many apparatus for discovering shoals and reefs, all Greek to the landlubber until explained, when their simplicity was startling
 For instance there was an appa- ratus in the pilot house looking pretty much like a radio set, with large dial and a hand which travelled the cir conference of it's face like a clock. Place the receivers on your ears, press button and the hand begins to move rapidly At the same time a blade of light flashes at point to- ward the lower right-hand side of the dial At the same instant, a little gong sounds. Watch the hand trav- cling from left to right, and you will find it passed 30 as the gong sounded This indicated that the ship was an- chored in 30 fathoms of water. The gong-like sound was the return of the echo from the bottom of the bay.
 Moving or standing still, this ap- paratus will indicate the depth be- meath the ship, which is obtained by computing the speed of sound leaving the bottom of the ship and echoing back from the bottom of the sea.
 Submarine Kite Sounder
 In addition to this apparatus there is the submarine kite, attached to a reel of wire wound upon a reel It is a lit tie trough-like form with a trigger. This is cast astern and when the kite strikes the bottom it loosens the trig- ger. The relief of pressure on the reel causes a bell to ring and a dial to in- dicate the depth.
 Then there is apparatus for taking weight soundings, in addition to pow CT launches, three of them, for wire dragging and sounding.
 One of these with two officers and II men is working in Nuka Bay. Anoth- CT with two officers and nine men is surveying in Sawmill Bay, while the third with two officers and seven men is working in Drier Bay. In Drier Ba preparations are being made for trian-

WARRANT is ISSUED
TO ARREST SIEBER
Justice Hoehling Yields to Request
of u. S. Attorney in Flor
ida Realty Case.

A bench warrant for the arrest of
Harry M. S1eber, recently indicted
here in connection with the sale of
an equity in Florida real estate to
Mrs. James Paul Casbarian, Govern
ment employee, was issued in Criminal
Court l today by Justice Hoehllng at
the request Of Assistant United States
Attorney Raymond Neudecker.
Sieber is charged with having OBJ
tanned $500 from Mrs Casbarian by
false pretenses. 1t is alleged he repre-
scented to her that the Macbeth Palm
Beach Syndicate" had purchased and
paid for 60 acres of land at Palm
Beach, whereas it is claimed by the
Government that the land had not
been purchased, but merely an equity
acquired in it by the concern.
Sieber was apprehended In st. Louis
last Fall upon warrant issued by
United States Commissioner Turnage
upon complaint of Miss Tuley w
Nelson of the State Department, who
charged that she had paid him $1,000
upon his representation that the
Syndicate" had actual%' purchased
land. Later, according to the war
rant II developed the Syndicate" had
not purchased the property. Witnesses
who appeared before the grand jury
testified they parted with various
sums upon Sieber's representations
that the property had been acquired
by outright purchase. Assistant
United States Attorney Crooks at ST
Louis has been requested to expedite
the removal of Sieber to this iurisdic
ton.

Income Tax Problems
SinlpIified for All
No. 10.


With a certain proviso, compensa'
ton paid by a State or political sub
division thereof" such as a county or
city, to its officers and employees is not
taxable income The proyiso is that
the services of such officers and en-
ployes must be rendered in connec-
ton with the essential governmental
functions of the State or political sub
division" as distinguished from its
proprietary functions. The salaries of
the governor of a State, mayor of a
city, councilman, board of aldermen,
public school teachers, policemen and
firemen are not taxable. But the COM
pensation received by employees of
waterworks owned and operated by a
municipality. or OF a municipality own
ed and operated street railway is tax
able, for the reason that they are en-
gagged in the activities of State which
are not governmental.
Fees for special services to q State
are taxable, as. for example, Compensa-
ton paid architects and builders for
planning and erecting a State capitol,
courthouse or other State or munich
pal buildings. An officer or employee
Of a State, for the purpose of the in
come tax law, is one whose services
are continuous and not occasional or
temporary.
In general, the salaries of Federal
officers and employees are subject to
the income tax. The salaries paid Fed
eral judges are not taxable, the United
States Supreme Court having so de-
cided.
Compensation paid by the District
Of Columbia. Alaska and Hawaii to
their officers and employees is taxable
income, as they are not States or po-
ltical subdivisions thereof,
