that holds swaying emotion. While
the solo instrument brings several
cadenzas of startling vitality and
virtuoso execution into music that
is rich in romance. The finale

GRAPE CROP AROUND SMYRNA
IS SHORTER THAN LAST YEAR
HEAVY SHIPMENTS HAVE BEEN
MADE AND CROP is ON WANE
Vineyards of WIG. Anthony, John But
terry, R. E. Spruance, George Car
ter and Others Have Been Busy

The Grape Vineyards about Smyrna
are seeing the seasons end of busy
industry. The vineyards of w. Gan
thony, John Buttery, Ralph E. Spru-
ance, George Carter and others have
been busy places the past few weeks,
and truck after truck loaded with
splendid fruit have been moved to the
city markets. Reports received by W.
T. Derrickson, State Director of Bu-
reau of Markets as to grape shipments
show that while the crop this year will
not be as large as last year, it is of
much finer quality. Unfortunately
prices are not the best for the Della
ware grapes, this being attributed in
a large measure to the heavy crop of
grapes in California this year, it be-
ing estimated that there will be two
hundred thousand cars for shipment.
Director Derricksons states that at
present California is unloading its
product in all parts of the west and
east which makes the sales of grapes
in Delaware and New York, short.
When the market is filled with the
California grapes, then they will turn
their attention to making grape wine
and rasins. Shipments of late apples
are still being made to foreign ports
including the Starks, Grimes Golden,
York Imperial and other standard var
rieties, their carrying capacity being
warranted such a long distance. To-
matoes are at their height. Some OF
the canneries having stopped canning
prices have dropped almost beyond
the point of making tomatoes worth
picking. At the beginning of the sea
son, tomatoes brought 80 cents pei
basket and gradually fell off to Is anC
II cents per basket, Monday prices
were boosted from IS cents to zoo
per basket. Sweet potatoes are com
| ing strong, large shipments being ex.
pected as the season develops.

NEW CASTLE LEVY COURT FIGHT
Heard in Court On Friday and Judges
Reserve Decision On Truitt-Hart
Claims For Levy Court Sats


Decision was reserved by Chief JUS
tice Pennewill and Judges Harrington
and Richards in Superior Court Fri
day after hearing the argument in the
mandamus actions instituted by
Thomas w. Truitt and James A. Hart
in an attempt to have the New Castle
Levy Court compelled to re-seat them.
Hart seeks to be seated as commits
sioner from the Seventh district and
Truitt seeks to be seated as commits
sioner from the Sixth district. At the
last election, Royden Caulk was elect
ed from the Seventh district to sue
ceed Hart and Benjamin w. Johnson
was elected to succeed Truitt from the
Sixth district. However, the court, in
quo warranto actions instituted by the
Levy Court, held that neither Caulk
nor johnson is entitled to his seat.
ruling that 1926 was not an election
year in the Seventh district and that
johnson was ineligible because he had
not accounted in full for the taxes he
was to collect while tax collector for
Pencader hundred. The courts opln-
ion held that Hart should remain IN
office for two years longer; that IS un-
til a successor to him is elected in
1928, the next year authorized by law
for an election in his district. The
Lew Court has, therefore, unseated
Caulk and Johnson, although the two
have appealed to the State Supreme
Court. and also has refused to recog-
nize the claims of Truitt and Hart.
The two vacancies existing IN the New
Castle County Levy Court should be
filled by appointment of the Governor,
Daniel o. Hastings, representing the
Lew Court, declared in his argument.
Judge Hastings argued that the Of
fee Of Levy Court Commissioner was
created by statute and not by the
State Constitution. Reading from the
statute, Judge Hastings contended
that when vacancies occur, such as
now exist in the Levy Court, it IS the
duty of the Governor to fill the Of
fees by appointments. When an Of
ficer voluntarily leaves office he can
not subsequently reclaim his office and
Hart and Truitt did voluntarily leave
Office in January, when Cauk and
Johnson were seated, and SO not entltl-
ed now to reclaim their seats, Judge
| Hastings said. 1t was in July thai
Hart and Truitt attempted to have the
Levy Court recognize them, but the
Lew Court refused, although the two
are attending every melting of the
county body with the idea Of estab-
fishing their claim. Francis deH. Jan,
vier. attorney for Hart, argued thai
his client should hold over as com
missioner until his successor is duly
elected. He contended Hart would noi
be holding over by reelection but be,
cause Of the inelegibility of Caulk ant
he would be serving under the constr
tuition. James I. Boyce. counsel fol
Truitt. argued his case on slmllal
authorities. Both Judge Hastlng!
and Janvier cited numerous authori
ties. Ayres J. Stockley appeared witt
Judge Hastings as counsels for tn
Levy Court.

Eldridge Reeves Johnson, former

the University of Pennsylvania for the
establishment of "The Eldridge R.

born on a farm between Smyrna and

of money to Delaware institutions.
Mr.. johnson is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Asa S. and Caroline R. Johnson. He
was educated in the Spring Garden
Institute, Philadelphia. When Mr..
johnson isolated himself in a small
laboratory in Camden, about a quarter
of century ago, to perfect the talk
ing machine for commercial purposes,
persons distracted by what they called
the ''funny noises" he produced, SAID
his was a "crazy dream," and regard
ed him as "crazy inventor" A few
years before this he had been working
as a mechanic for so cents an hour.

in making his gift to the university,
Mr.. Gates explained, that sum not
exceeding 100000 may be expended
for a building and for equipment. Mr
johnson is a multi-milliOnalre. He

of a program The conference will
probably be held at Dover in October.
The widespread belief tht there is a
definite service to be rendered by

four hundred Delawareans have regis

"Why not join and help make the As
