new JERSEY GIRL FAILS
In SWIM ACROSS BAY
Was Within One And A Half Miles
Of Shore When She Stopped

Miss Maxine Meitzner of Ocean
City, N. j., who attempted to swim
from Cape May, N. j., to Lewes was
compelled to give up the attempt at
z o'clock Tuesday night. She had
been in the water for IL hours and
had covered about 20 miles when she
was compelled to give UP the at
tempt 11a miles from shore. The
swimmer was not tired and declar-
ed that she did not suffer with cold,
but the flood tide and choppy sea
made it impossible for her to make
headway, although her strokes were
still strong.
Miss Meitzner, who had made a
splendid record as a swimmer in a
number of places including Ocean
City, N. j., her home, left Cape May
at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. She
was accompanied by Captain K. M.
Redgrave in charge Of the Cool
Spring Coast Guard station on the
New Jersey coast, and several men
swimmers in a boat. She swan cas-
lily and joked with the men in the
boat at various times.
About four and one-half miles off
the Delaware shore she was met by
Captain Irving Steele, of the Coast
Guard station at Lewes, in a boat.
At that time she was going strong
and joked with the captain and his
men. She continued her efforts to
makes Lewes, but in the latter part
of the time she was in the water
made absolutely no headway. She
got into the boat Of Captain Red
grave and returned to Cape May.
Miss Meitzner is seventeen years
old, weighs 14O pounds, and is 5
feet, 4 inches in height. She was pro-
nounced a wonderful swimmer by
all who saw her in the water. Cap
tain Steele is of the opinion that had
she left Cape May two hours earlier
she could have escaped the tide and
made the entire distance.

SMALL BOY KILLED BY
TRUCK NEAR MAGNOLIA
YOungster Ran In Front OF Vehicle
Died Before Reaching Hospital

William Gibson, 7-year-old negro,
son of George Gibson, of near Mag
nolia, died while on the way to the
Milford Emergency Hospital Monday
morning after he had been struck by
a truck of the Freebooter Baking
Company of Wilmington. The acci-
dent occurred near Magnolia. Paul
Moore of Wilmington, who was Griv-
ing the truck, was taken before JUS
ice of the Peace William A. Truitt of
Milford, and held to await the ac-
tion of the coroner's jury.
The jury met Monday night in the
undertaking establishment of Berry
and Lofiand and gave a verdict that
the negro child met his death IN an
unavoidable accident and Moore was
released. The evidence showed that
the child ran across the road in front
of the truck. The driver saw him
and put on the brakes but the child
was struck and thrown against the
concrete road bed.
Rev. w. c. Buckson of Lincoln who
was passing, picked up the boy in
his car and rushed him to the Mil
ford Emergency Hospital, but he
was dead when he arrived there. Mr..
Buckson, who is pastor of the NJ. E.,
Church at Lincoln City, saw the &C
cident and was one of the principal
witnesses at the inquest.
The members Of the coroner's jury
voted to donate their fees for serv-
ing the jury to the father of the
child to aid him in paying the fu-
neral expenses.

MAN HELD UNDER HEAVY
BAIL FOR MOONSHTNTNG
James O., DickersOn Claimed He
Was Working For Lawyer Fees

James o. Dickerson, a young man
of near Milford, has been held in
$4,000 bail by Justice E. V. Hendrix
son, of Milford, charged with violat-
ing the liquor law.
Federal officers arrested Dicker-
son in a swamp, west Of Redden,
Wednesday of last week, and secur-
ed large still and a quantity of
the unfinished product. Dickerson
explained that the liquor taken was
"low wines," and that it had to be
run through the still another time.
before it would be of the proper
strength. The arrested man said
that the still was new and that it
was his first attempt to make moon
shine liquor. He claimed that a
few weeks ago he had been arrested
charged with larceny of a lighting
system from church known as
Whites Chapel" but that he was
innocent of he crime, and that he
had secured the still and intended
to make liquor in order to raise suf-
ficient money to pay a lawyer to de-
fend him in the larceny case.
Federal officers under Prohibition
Agent, Jett, of Dover, had been
scouting around the woodland in this
section for some time, and got a
whiff of the liquor which was being

arrest.

DELAWARE GAMERS
HIT in FEDERAL REPORT
WOmen's Bureau Of Department OF
Labor Scores Unsanitary Living

It is likely that a report of the
Women's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor, releas-
ed this week will result in an in
spection of the Delaware vegetable
canneries, to ascertain just how well
founded is the criticism made in the
report,
Unsanitary living and working
conditions, inadequate buildings,
long hours for women and children
and lack of safety appliances are
among the many items specified in
the report which were severely crit
icised. Miserable and unstable con-
ditions were forcibly condemned.
Governor Robert P. Robinson, who
was spoken to in regard to the mat
ter before the article was released
for print, has conferred with DR.. A..
T. Davis, of Dover, executive sec1e-
tary of the State Board of Health, in
reference to the matter, and he is
confident that the subject will re-
ceive attention.

EXHIBITORS SEEK SPACE
AT WILMINGTON FAIR
Indications Are That First Annual
Exhibit VIII Be Worth Attending

Everything now indicates one of
the most interesting Fairs ever
held at the Elsmere grounds" said
George K. Ball, president of the
Agricultural Fair Association which
will hold a six day and six night ex-
hibition beginning on Monday, Labor
Day.
Mr.. Ball said that late entries for
many of the various exhibits had
brought the number up to a much
larger amount than had been anti
cipated and that he was very well
pleased with the cooperation shown.
To date there have been nearly
eleven hundred separate entries in
the WOmen's Department
Another Department that is going
to shine more brilliantly this year
than ever before, is that devoted to
farm machinery. There will be
acres devoted to this exhibit.
The cattle exhibit will also be one
of the most interesting of any
cattle show. P. S. DUPONT, Harry G.
Haskell, The Caulk Company, Joseph
Mitchell, John Govatos and St.,
Amour Farms will have herds of
cattle in addition to several from
Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The Flower Show will be very at
tractive to everyone who loves flow
ers. The exhibits will be both
amateur and professional so that
the home owner who has a little
garden will not be placed in, unfair
competition with the professional
who makes his living out of it.

two WOMEN HURT
WHEN AUTO CRASHES
INTOPASSENGER TRAIN
Miss Elizabeth DarnalI And Her
Mother, Of Baltimore, Seriously
Hurt Friday Night.
BOTH WILL RECOVER
Injured Are Improving At The
Emergency Hospital, Milford.
Crossing Is Dangerous.

Mrs. Frank H. Darnall and her
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Darnall, of
Baltimore, were seriously injured
last Friday night when the Franklin
car in which they were riding crash
ed into the southbound passenger
train at the Haven Lake crossing on
the du Pont Boulevard at the wes-
tern entrance to Milford. The ladies
were driving north at the time of the
accident, and it is thought that the
heavy rain which was falling at the
time obscured their vision so that
they did not see the train as it ap-
preached the crossing. That Miss
Darnall, who was driving, made an
effort to avoid the crash is eViden-
ced by the fact that marks made by
the tires as they dragged on the
highway were visible after the acci-
dent. The car crashed into the bag
gage coach and was completely de-
mOlished.
Both women were hurled a dis
tance of several feet and when pick
ed up were unconscious. They were
taken to the Milford Emergency Hos
pital, where it was found that Miss
Darnall was suffering from broken
leg and innumerable cuts and bruis-
es over the body. Mrs. Darnall re-
ceived no broken bones, but she was
badly cut and bruised. Fears were
entertained that possible internal
injuries had been received by the la
dies, but both have steadily improv-
ed since being admitted to the hos
pital and are expected to recover.
The crossing at which the accident
occurred is the same one at which
Father Comisky, Catholic priest of
Dover, together with a lady who
was riding with him, were killed a
few years ago. 1t is protected with
lighting systems which
flash as a train approaches. It is
that the ladies failed to see
the lights until it was too late for
them to avoid crash.

MIDDLETOWN FAVORS
new SCHOOL BUILDING
3l4 Votes For To IL Against Issu-
ing $7O,S32 Bonds To Join With
State In Building School.

For many years the town OF
MiddletOwn has not owned a school
building, but occupied an old acade-
mey and rented rooms about the
town, in which to educate their
children. To build such structure
as they would have to erect to ac-
cOmodate the children of Middle
town and surrounding districts,
would have entailed a larger bond
issue, which seemed appalling to the
people. However, the State of Della
ware made appropriation for aid in
building new school buildings at the
last session, and required every
town, every rural school district, or
any consolidated number of districts
to issue bonds to the extent of only
two per cent on the assessed Valu-
aion of all property as assessed in
1919. No more or no less an amount
can be accepted, and the State will
then supply the balance necessary
to build the school.
The State requires that this
procedure shall be made before
they start any operations, so Middle
town has started the ball moving,
by holding a special referendum
election last Saturday for the pur-
pose of voting for or against the
borrowing of $7O,S32.34 to be used
in the election and equipment of a
new school building for that school
district.
A total of 325 votes were polled,
314 being for the borrowing of the
money and IL being against it. At
the same time a school building
was elected. The COM
elected were: John c.
Alston, Eugene H. Shallcross, Jesse
L. Shepherd and Daniel w. Stevens.
The work of building the new
school will be started Immediately
after the plans are drawn and the
contract awarded The new school
will cost about $4,000, there being
several thousand dollars already on
hand for the work. The building
will be erected on South Broad
Street.

SPECIAL SESSION
DOES NOT APPEAL
TO GOV. ROBINSON
The Very Last Thing 10 My
Mind He Said When Inter-
viewed Monday.
MOVEMENT ON FOOT
Sponsors Desire Action On The
School. Building Program And
School Laws.

Efforts are being made to call a
special session of the Legislature
for the purpose of putting through
school building program and of
making changes in the school tax
law, but it is not believed that the
movement will be successful.
There has been dissatisfaction in
certain circles since the legislature
repealed the filing fee law without
submitting anything to take its
place. If a special session should
be called, something would be done,
if possible, to have a source of rev.
enue placed in the law in lieu of the
filing fee and efforts would be made
to clear up some other sections of
the tax law about which there ap-
pears to be difference of opinion.
Rumor has it that there is also some
dissatisfaction among certain per-
sons with the school building pro-
gram as adopted by the legislature.
Members of the Wilmington
school board are dissatisfied with
the ruling made by the State Board
of Education under which Whining
ton will lose about $4,000 a year in
revenue, but so far as is known,
was not back of this movement to
call a special session of the legis-
lature
When spoken to in reference to
the matter Monday, Governor Rob-
ert P. Robinson said that he had
heard that such a movement was
on foot and he had been spoken to
about it, but not officially He did
not remember who had spoken to
him on the matter or just what it
was proposed to do with the law,
but he did not encourage the move
ment.
THE very last thing in my mind
at the present time is to call a
special session of the legislature
declared the governor.
The usual method of procedure to
have a special session called is to
have certain number of members
of both houses petition the governor
who then calls the special session if
he deems it necessary. Nothing to-
ward getting up such a petition has
been done so far and on account of
the attitude of the governor it is not
believed that the matter will be
pressed, though it is declared that
the subject is still being agitated.
