BANKERS DELAY
SESSION
BY RICHARD HATTON

The past few days has seen a
decided squirt of interest in the
coming annual convention of the
District Of Columbia Bankers As
sociation which will be held this
year at Hot Springs, Va, from
June 8 to IL.
The work of all committees is
rounding into shape earlier than
usual and at the present time It
Is safe to predict that the 1927
convention will set record for all
time. Requests for hotel reserva-
lions are reaching the hotel COM
mittee daily and at the present are
considerably ahead Of the number
received this far ahead OF the con-
vention date last year. However,
e Is important in order to faciIi-
tate the work OF the committee
that requests for accommodations
reach the committee at as cary
g date as possible.
1t IL understood that the pro
gram this year will be somewhat OF
an innovation in that it will con-
tain no speaker of especial promi-
hence
Practically all speakers, it is
understood, will confine themselves
TO subjects Of peculiar interest and
significance to District of Column
bia banks.
The entire committee is said to
nave worked out a program Of
novel features Of an interesting
nature and it is rumored that the
program will be somewhat shorter
than last year.
Because a large number of
Washington bankers will be out
Of the city today attending the
stockholders meeting of the Fifth
Federal Reserve district at Rich
Tnond the scheduled meeting of
the program committee for this
afternoon at the rooms of the D.
g. Bankers Association has been
postponed.
The official publication Of the
Washington Chapter, American In
gtttute of Banking, Dollars and
Sense" has made its appearance
under date Of May, 1927. AS usual,
the issue is attractively bound and
indicates great care in selection Of
material and in editing.
The leading article in the current
issue is by Honorable James J.
Davis. Secretary of Labor. and is
on the subject Of Goodwill Be
tween Employer and Employe."
Secretary Davis likens banks to
industrial concerns saying that:

cases depends upon the skill and

GIRL, 13, IS BATHING VICTIM
Aileen Tubbs of SeIbyville, browns
in Surf at Bethany Beach

While bathing in the surf at Beth
any Beach Saturday afternoon Aileen
Tubbs, 13 years old, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Y. Tubbs, Of Selby-
vile, was drowned. The girl while
apparently swimming at ease 200
yards from shore suddenly went uE-
der and was possibly seized with
cramps. People on the shore as well
as some fishermen a short distance
away saw her go down, but at first
thought she had dived and waited
awhile before they realized what had
happened. She made no outcry and
was not seen again after she sank.
Realizing that something had happen
ed to her, the men in the boat has
tered to the spot where she was last
seen and began graphing for her.
Within fifteen minutes they found the
body and hastened to the beach DIR.
James X. Hooker, DR.. Steele a govern
ment physician said to be affiliated
with the Z. S. Navy and a trained
nurse who were on the beach at the
time began working over the body,
administering stimulants and drugs,
with the hope of resuscitating her.
They worked on her for three and a
half hours but failed to get any he2re
action Miss Tubbs was one of the
most popular young girls of Selby-
vile, and was widely known through
out the southern part of Sussex Coun-
ty Her untimely death has cast a
shadow of gloom over the entire town
as well as Bethany Beach, the popclar
resort on the Atlantic, miles away.

PLAN IMPETUS To NUT GROWING
ON THE DEL-MAR-VA PENINSULA
FEELING ON PART OF EXPERTS
THIS PENINSULA COULD PROFIT
Coming Convention of Northern Nut
Growers Association at EastOn to
Stir More Interest in Nut Culture

The eighteenth annual convention of
the Northern Nut Growers Associa-
tion, to be held at Easton, Md, Sep
tember Is and 16, promises to be one
Of the most interesting and instruc-
tive in the associations history. Sec
retary Henry D. Spencer, of Decatur,
H., feels very optimistic regarding
attendance, as the response from no
tices issued, indicate that members
from all sections of the country plan
to be present. In addition to the reg
ular membership attendance, a special
list Of invitations is being extended to
owners of nut orchards and others in
terested in nut culture throughout the
Peninsula and adjacent territory, as
well as to the Farm Bureau agents
and the presidents of thirty colleges
of agriculture. The Del-Mar-Va East
ern Shore Association, which has Civ?
en- considerable thought to the posi-
bilities of commercializing nut grow
ing on the Peninsula, will make spec
ial endeavor to interest nurserymen
and leading growers, so that they may
attend and obtain first hand infOrma-
tion as to possibilities and hear re-
ports of specialists from various sec
tions. While nut culture on the Pen
insula has never reached a CONNER
cial basis, it is we'll known that here
are a material number of producing
orchards and groves, and in practi-
cally every section are found small
groups or individual trees bearing the
several leading varieties. Where in
dividuals have given attention to
proper planting and made an effort to
improve quality as we'll as quantity Of
the English walnut, pecan, and sever
al others, impressive result has been
obtained. On the strength of reports
made by the nut specialists, who have
nut culture as well as natural produc-
ton, it is generally accepted that both
the climatic and soil conditions on the
Peninsula are suitable to the growth
of nut trees and the production of
valuable nut crops. 1t is planned to
devote the first day of the convention
to regular business and receiving of
reports. This program will be fea-
tured with addresses by several noted
authorities on nut culture and the ma
terial submitted promises to be Of in
estimable value. From the number Of
inquiries received on the subject Of
nut growing on the Peninsula by the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associa-
ton, and the interest expressed re-
garding the convention, there is every
indication that there will be large
attendance of residents of the PENN
sula and from nearby points.

WOODLAND BEACH CRABBERS
Gamers Have Ceased Buying on Ac-
count of Long Distance to Haul
and the Market is Shut OFF

Woodland Beach crabbers are now
suffering heavy losses due to not be-
ing able to dispose Of their crabs. The
crab market has been very active dur
ing the period of the entire summer,
buyers from St. Michaels, Md, daily
hauling the caches of crabs from this
point to st. Michaels in motor trucks
the price being cents per pound for
crabs measuring over 5 inches in size.
These crabs were purchased for crab
canneries on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. The buying of crabs was
discontinued last week, however, those
engaged in the business claiming it
to not be profitable, and as the local
demand for crabs will not warrant
many persons to crab almost all crab
bers have discontinued the occupation.
Much money has been invested in the
purchase of grabbing equipment ard
unless another market is established
all of this equipment will stand as a
loss to those who were thus engaged.
Robert Aribbett and Clarence Burris,
two crabbers, who have followed this
occupation for several years, declare
the grabbing industry had never been
better than this year and that the
buyers had stopped on account of SO
many of the crabs dying while in
transit on the trucks. This, they
claim, could not be avoided, due to
the long distances to the canneries,
Tribbitt and Burris claim that the
crabs are much better in condition
than in former seasons, and say that
the report of the crabs becoming
scarce due to the recent crab law be
ing enacted is untrue. There has al
ways been too many crabs in the
waters of the Delaware bay for the
young crabs to thrive. These crab
bers say that IS responsible for 50
many crabs being caught every year
that are in poor condition. About
IS men with 35 boats have been en-
gagged in the occupation at Woodland
Beach and vicinity and are now out
of work.

Dover firemen are looking for the

gushing the blaze at the hay stack,
and while putting up their hose on the
engine, not having left the Weston
place, discovered that the barn, some

A man or boy was seen running away
from the barn just after this second
alarm had been given and a chase
was made for him, the large spot light
of the fire truck being thrown in the
direction in which he went. After
searching for several hours, 20 trace
of the person could be found. A hat
and two shoes were picked up by the

lead to the identity of the guilty
party.

Relic of Chestertown's Early Days
May Be Moved to Washington, ID. c.
General William E. Horton, assist
ant quartermaster-g of the US.
Army, has been over at Chestertown,
Nd, during the last few days with a
view to ascertaining whether or not
the ancient colonial dwelling on Front
street, facing the Chester river water
front, may safely be moved to Wash
ington to be used as a dwelling. For
several weeks the Washington Army
officer has been on the Eastern Shore
in search of an old brick colonial home
that he might purchase, dismantle and
re-assemble in Washington after it
had ben removed, piecemeal, to the
nations capital. Both he and the en-
gineers he taken with him believe the
proximity of the Pearce House at
Chestertown to the water would
greatly facilitate its removal over the
Chester river and thence across the
bay to Washington. If the project be
comsummated it will be an engineer
ing feat of unusual proportions. The
house lies across the street from sew
eral wharves, now in use as they have
been since the days when ships from
England docked at Front street when
Chestertown was one of the ports of
entry of Maryland. Across tie street
also stands the ancient custom house,
once the scene of bustling activity and
now used as an apartment house by
Wilbur H. Hubbard, its present owner.

ARREST FOR ARSON FOLLOWS
RECENT CHURCH HILL, MD.,fIRE
MRS. MARY NEUHAUS is UNDER
GOING A MENTALITY TEST
Her Condition Examined by Eastern
Shore Physicians Do Not
Blame the Woman in the Case

Mrs. Mary Neuhaus, detained by
the police ten days ago on a technical
charge of arson in connection with
the 100000 fire over at Church Hill,
Md, on July 10, has been sent to the
Spring Grove State Hospital for the
Insane for observation, authorities
announced Monday. Saturday the
woman was subjected to mental test
by DR.. Arthur P. Herring, State COM
missioner of hygiene. DR.. Percy
Wade, superintendent of Spring Grove
Hospital, and DR.. w. Henry Fisher,
Jail physician. The physicians de-
clined to reveal the result of their ex-
animation but said Mrs. Neuhaus had
been admitted to the State Hospital
"for more careful observation" If
the accused is found to be mentally
well she will be returned to face a
preliminary hearing on charge of
arson. If not she will be kept at the
institution until she RECEIVERS. Mrs.
Neuhaus owned a small confectionery
store in Church Hill. Facing bank
ruptcy, it was alleged she set afre to
her own property. Before the fire
could be extinguished it had spread
to a number of other buildings, which
were destroyed in the confagration
that followed. Mrs. Neuhaus was
formerly a resident of Wilmington.
She married Henry Neuhaus, a farm
er of Rock Hall, on July of last
year, and one day after she met him
through a want ad" in which he
sought a housekeeper. The pair have
been in court several times, each
charging the other with assault. Last
March Neuhaus was sentenced 20 re-
ceive ten lashes on the back after be-
ing found guilty of charge made by
his wife, but escaped on an appeal.
Although many have suffered none
tary loss because of the fire, residents
of Church Hill have not turned their
backs on Mrs. Neuhaus. On the con
trary, they feel that she did not ap-
ply the torch to her building, but
blame the fire on the careless manner
in which someone threw a match or
cigaret where the blaze started. On
the other hand, Detective Joseph F.
Dougherty, who was assigned to the
case by State Insurance Commissioner
Carville D. Benson, says he has infor-
nation which connects Mrs. Neuhaus
with the charge of incendiarism.
