GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Septem.
her 14-The parade Of the Grand
. ARMY Of the Republic occupied the
<houchts today Of the veterans OF the
civil War here for their siXty.first
annual encampment. Over a route
mile long, much of it a wearisome
ascent of Monroe avenue, the march
provided n test for limbs and bodies
that long ago lost much of their
vigOr.
For many of the old soldiers it was
the last parade; possibly it was the
last parade of the c.. A. r. IS an
organization None but soldiers OF
the Civil War were permitted to par
ticinate in the march. Women. chill
dren and civilians were denied places
in the line. No flags or standards
excepting the National and State flags
and department and post flags were
allowed.
The line of march took the veterans
from the State Armory through Mon
roe avenue to Fulton Street Park
where Commander-in-ch Frank A.
Walsh and his staff reviewed the old
soldiers. In the stand also were
others, comrades Of the marchers, dis
abled and unable to join them. Vet
erans of Illinois led the procession,
followed by those from Wisconsin.
PENNSYLVANIA. Ohio. New York and
other States. Michigan, as a matter
of courtesy, took up place at the
end of the line.
With the parade as today's out
standing event. log-rolling for the
coming election was temporarily in
the background. While the names of
five or six of the visiting veterans
were mentioned for commander-in-
chief when the convention opened.
those of Elbridge l.. Hawk of Cali
fornia and John c. Glen Of Washing
ton. D. c.. are most frequently heard
today.
Clem served with a Michigan regi-
ment and became famous as the
drummer boy of Chickamauga."
Hawk was with the 18th Ohio Infan-
try and was discharged as a captain.

the request could not be complied with
because the name Kalorama Circle

LEVY COURT MUDDLE OVER IN
NEW CASTLE COUNTY EXCITING
GROWS WORSE SINCE CAULK
AND JOHNSON ARE OUSTED
T. w. Truitt, MiddletOwn, and James
A. Hart, Townsend, Seek Seats But
Refused-Mandamus Proceedings

A summons directing five members
of the Levy Court of New Castle
County to file answers before August
in the mandamus action filed in Su-
perior Court by Thomas w. Truitt, of
Middletown in another effort to have
the court compelled to recognize him
as commissioner from the Sixth Levy
Court District, has been issued by
Judge Richard S. Rodney. On July
Is the Superior Court signed a decree
ousting Benjamin w. Johnson, Sixth
district, and Royden Caulk, Seventh
district, as members of the Levy
Court. The two were elected commits
sioners last November. At last weeks
meeting of the Levy Court Johnson
and Caulk surrendered their seats.
The seats were then occupied by
Truitt and James A. Hart, the latter
from the Seventh district. The court
refused to recognize either of the two
mems claims to the seats, deferring
definite action until the next meeting.
Confident that the court would con-
tinue to decline to recognize him,
Truitt, through James l. Boyce, at
torney of Wilmington, filed the man
damus action. Hart, represented by
F. deli. Janvier, has as yet taken no
legal action. The Court passed a
resolution deferring final action on
the claims of Truitt and Hart to seats
until the Superior Court determines
the mandamus proceedings Instituted
by Truitt. Truitt sets forth in the
petition for a writ of peremptory
mandamus that he was elected COM
missioner from the Sixth district at
the general elections in November,
1922. He took Office in January, 1928.
In November 1926, Johnson was elect
ed as TRUTHS successor, taking office
last January, occupying the seat va
Gated at that time by Truitt, the lat
ter's four-year term having expired.
Truitt contends in his petition that he
has right to the seat from the Sixth
district by virtue of a provision in
Article 15, Section of the State Con-
stitution which provides that certain
public officers shall hold office until
their successors are duly qualified ac
cording to law. The Levy Court MEM
bers named as defendants in the ac-
tion are Herman D. Faulkner, James
Meharg, George W. Burris, Irwin ].
Hollingsworth and Charles Simon, Jr.
Johnson and Caulk have appealed the
Superior Court decree to the State
Supreme court. They We're ousted as
the result of quo warranto proceed
ings started by Attorney General
Switzerland on behalf of the State.

HARTLY-KENToN ROAD PROJECT
That Some of the Right of Way Had
to Be Purchased Has Caused Comment

Many persons interested in securing
new improved roads for their sections
of the county will be interested to
learn that the State Highway Com
mission has evidently discontinued the
practice of requiring a free right of
way before a new road could be built.
At least this practice was not follow
ed with the new road being built be-
tween Hartly and Kenton, says the
Dover Index. The cost to the State
for portion of this right of way may
total around three thousand dollars.
Heretofore when a delegation appear
ed before the Commission urging the
construction of a road in a certain
territory, one of the first items point
ed out was the question of right of
way and usually these delegations
carried a petition showing that the
necessary right of way would be given
free of charge. Three routes were of
fered for the construction of The road
from Hartly to the acknowledgement
line road. 1t is understood that the
free right of way was offered for the
two routes that was refused. 1t was
also thought that the free right of
way had been procured for the route
under construction until it came to
light last week that the State had CIV
en- out more than sixteen hundred dol
lars in cash for two strips of land and
had contracted for other items that
may make the total cost reach three
thousand dollars. AS result of this
action on the part of the State High
way Department in purchasing the
right of way for a portion of road,
it is believed that the worry of secur-
ing the right of way first will be elinl-
mated when delegations seek in1prov-
ed roads in the future"

WARNING AIDS TO MOTORISTS
State Highway Department Takes Ex-
ira Precautions at r. r. Crossings

C. D. Buck, Chief Highway Engin
eer, is planning to put two ideas IN
use on Delaware highways that have
proved their worth in other States.
The first of these is already in oper-
alton on the Heald street entrance
from the highway to Wilmington. 1t
is very simple. After the concrete
has been poured it is made corrugated
by raking it in lines 1-8 inch deep.
This plan it 81 believed will prevent
the road from scaling. In this way it
will save money to the citizens of the
State and preserve a more smooth,
uniform surface for the road. 1t is
also believed that it will present much
slipping or skidding in rainy weather.
In this way it will be a means of pro-
tecting the reckless driver or drunk
en- motorist from himself. The second
safety idea has to do with railroad
crossings. Two hundred and twenty
five feet from the railroad there will
be painted on the concrete in black
and white, two letters "R. R." They
will be so huge that they cannot fail
to be noticed. Then at p5 feet from
the crossing there will be black and
white checkered sign painted across
the highway, so that everyone seeing
one of these signs cannot help but
know that he is approaching rail-
road crossing. When it comes to in
toxicated motorists, the highway de-
partment is helpless to protect the
man or woman in such a condition
from meeting whatever fate has in
store for them. In the past two
months three of five persons that
have been killed in accidents on the
highways have been intoxicated. Be-
cause of this it does not seem fair to
charge this growing list of accidents
against the efficiency of the State and
sane motorists as whole, the depart
ments says.

KENT-SUSSEX FAIR ON TO-DAY
Many Special Features Including the
Daily Races Are on the Program

With prospects Of the most success
full fair in the history of the associa-
ton, the eighth annual Kent-Sussex
Fair opened at Harrington yester-
day. 10000 people were in attendance.
The opening day was observed as
"Children's Day." when all children
under 16 years of age were admitted
free. Many from Smyrna and upper
Kent anticipate attending. Frank 7.
Graham, superintendent of grounds,
has the grounds in excellent shape.
Especially fine was the track. Four
track events are taking place this af-
ternoon, 2.13 and 2.22 pace; 2.30 trot
and mule race. There will be numer-
our new attractions and features this
year. One of the most interesting ex-
hibits for several years has been that
of the work of members of Boys and
Girls clubs. In previous years the
club members owing to lack of space
have been compelled to exhibit in
cramped quarters. Senator Coleman
dupont started fund with a gift Of
$500 for building for these exhibits
and consequently this year the club
members have a modern building with
plenty of room to exhibit in. Ernest
Raughley, secretary of the fair has
been busy for some days and has
practically completed all details for
the opening today. The Bruce Shows
one of the largest travelling shows in
the east will have many special fea-
lures to interest both children and
adults. There will be fireworks dis
plays in the evenings. Former State
Senator Charles D. Murphey is presi-
dent of the Fair Association and some
of the most prominent men in the two
counties are associated with him on
the board.

BRENFoRD ROAD IS COMPLETED
Nine Foot Concrete Experiment Being
Watched With Interest by State

The new 9 feet concrete road run
ming from Brenford to the dupont
highway, a distance of one mile which
is an experimental road for use of
little travelled highways, is proving
success, according to reports sent to
the highway department. Alongside
of the concrete is five feet of gravel
so that when one car meets another
but one of them will have to go off
the concrete. By laying the concrete
on one side of the road more than on
the other, it will enable the depart
ment, if traffic on any particular sec
tion grows heavy enough to warrant
a wider road, to lay another section of
6 feet of concrete which added to the
9 feet would give Is foot highway
or enough for two cars to pass. There
are upwards of 600 miles of lateral
dirt roads in Delaware. If the exper-
iment on this stretch from Brenford
to the highway works out all right,
it is likely that other 9 feet roads will
be built, from time to time.

LOCAL FIREMEN AT CARNIvALs
Smyrna and Clayton Both Winners in
Journeys Up the State Last Week


Smyrna and Clayton firemen iourn-
ed to and took in the Middletown and
Cranston Heights Carnivals the past
week. The street parade in each of
the towns was elaborate, some four
teen or fifteen fire companies being in
line. At Middletown, Smyrna firemen
won the prize for best appearance and
would have won the prize for having
the best band in line, Sylvester's Con-
cert Band of Smyrna, but the judges
deemed it expedient to keep the prizes
more distributed. At Cranston Heights
the company from Newark won the
prize for having the best apparatus,
while the Clayton company won the
prize for coming the longest distance.
Harry P. Jones of Smyrna won the
prize for being the fattest man in line
and Delaney Long of Smyrna for
being the shortest man in line, each
receiving $3.50 in gold.
