Gray for 80 minutes, concluding his

Gray a few perfunctory questions.
NewcOmbe in Few Questions
District Attorney Newcombe's
first question was whether Gray had,
on the night of the killing of Snyder,
locked the door of Lorraine Snyder's
room.
"No.'' said Gray.
'eWho did?'
II don't know"
Throughout his long cross-exam-
ination Gray was a polite, gentle
manly witness, saying, in effect,
Yes. did it. sir, and I'll tell you all

crime from the stand late Wednes-
day and no subsequent questioning

He was due In Pernambuco at

Fourteen ships on the route be-

MILD TEMPERATURE AFTER

Snow And Wind Accompanied By
Low OF 8 Degrees At Milford

Milford, together with the entire
state, was in the midst of a storm of
almost blizzard proportions last Sat
urday when snow, accompanied by a
bowling wind, piled snow drifts and
blocked the highways in places. The
official government thermometer in
Milford registered low of degrees
above zero Saturday night. On Sun
day the storm had passed, but cold
weather continued throughout the
day. Monday and Tuesday the wea-
ther moderated quickly and the snow
rapidly disappeared. On Tuesday the
thermometer registered 45 degrees
here. Citizens of the entire state
had visions of real old fashioned
blizzard, such as our grandparents
like to boast of, when the bowling
wind carried drifting flakes before it
on Saturday. The storm had been
preceded by rain which froze and
formed an icy foundation for the
snow. Children made merry with
their sleds during the short time that
the snow lasted; but teamsters en-
countered much trouble because OF
their horses falling upon the ice COW

MARYLAND TRUCKS
MUST ALL CARRY
DELAWARE LICENSES
New Ruling Made When Neigh
boring State Violates ReciprO-
city Agreement.
MANY ARE AFFECTED
Freight Haulers From Maryland
Must Take Out Licenses Be-
fore Operating Here.

All Maryland commercial motor
vehicles engaged in hauling freight
for hire over Delaware highways,
will be forced to carry Delaware Ii
censes, the State Department at
Dover, has ruled.
Maryland has violated the recipro-
city agreement with this State, it is
charged, in compelling Delaware
commercial vehicles to display Mary
land licenses in that State, and
thereby has incurred the tax on her
trucks in this State.
All other States have observed the
reciprocity agreement with Della
ware, officials declare, and trucks
coming into Delaware from States,
other than Maryland, will not have
to carry Delaware licenses.
Delaware intends to see to it that
Maryland commercial trucks carry
this States licenses. Recently a
Maryland operator of a freight car
rying truck was forced to give bond
until he procured a Delaware license
for his truck.
Scores Of Maryland trucks use
Delaware's highways in going to and
from the Wilmington, Philadelphia
and New York markets from the
upper and lower counties on the
Eastern Shore.
During the past summer there was
some controversy between E. Austin
Baughman, commissioner of motor
vehicles of Maryland, and Secretary
of State Townsend, over the recipro-
city agreement on commercial We
hicleS.
The new ruling of the Delaware
State Department has stirred up
considerable discussion among truck
owners and operators of Maryland,
who are now forced to carry Della
ware license tags in addition to those
of their own State, thus having to
pay a double tax.

SEN. LATCHUM WOULD

Offers Repeater For Section Of
School Laws Giving Broad Powers

Senator Latchum of Milford, Tues-
day afternoon introduced in the Sen
ate bill to repeal that section OF
the school law relative to the gen
eral powers delegated to the state
Board of Education, that "they shal!
determine the educational policies OF
the State and shall seek in every
way to direct and develop puDllc
sentiment in support of public edu-
cation"
The bill. il is understood, is one
of several to be introduced IN tne
next few days, that will automatl-
cally bring about reductions IN the
expense of maintaining the puDIc
school system. H.
The principal objection to tne
paragraph which the bill seeks 10
repeal, it was said by those inter-
ested in it, is that salaried onlclais
and other employees of the state
Board, exercising their prerogatIVes
under this section of the law, may
spend much of their time to dlreeG-
ing and developing sentiment with
it's CONSEQUENT effect on the salary
and travelling expense items tor tne
next two years. ....-o.

DAVIS CLOTHING STORE
Cash In Money Drawer Stolen, But
Valuable Papers Not Disturbed

The clothing store of Mark l..
Davis, on North Walnut street, was
entered by thieves Sunday night, or
early Monday morning and the con-
tents of the cash register were stol-
en-.
Since the theft a careful inventory
of the store has been made, and so
far nothing has been missed except
the money in the cash drawer. The
safe, which was unlocked, was ran
sacked, but nothing was taken. There
was nothing in the safe except val
liable papers.
Entrance is thought to have been
gained by the rear door, the lock on
which was "picked" by the burglars
but there is a mystery surrounding
the case, for while foot prints were
Mainly visible in the snow near TINS
door, the tracks in the snow all leau
from the building and there were no
footprints that would indicate that
any one had approached the door:
Former Postmaster Frank l.. DAVIS
who manages the store, was IN tne
building late Sunday night, but op-
served nothing unusual. When ne
entered Monday morning he founo

drawer had been pried open and the
contents amounting to six collars
