is temporary increase in the in
FAINT mortality this summer.
So far this year there have been
six deaths from typhoid fever. Two
of these are in Wilmington and four
in Sussex county. The Sussex vic
tins are believed to have contracted
the disease, in one case at least,
through a carrier. There have been
several who have had the disease
in this particular family and the
State Board of Health is now
searching carefully to determine if
some member of the family is a
menace. One analysis has indicated
that a member of the family is a
carrier, but in order to be absolute
ly certain, another and different way
of determining this fact, is now
under way.
Generally speaking, health condi-
tiOns throughout Delaware this sum-
mer have shown the least number of
contagious diseases of any summer
for a long while. This, despite the
extremely continuous hot weather
Not so many cases of enteritis have
been recorded which was formerly
one of the most menacing ills in
this State in hot weather.

ASK PERMISSION TO
BRIDGE MISPILLION

the scheduled meeting.
The plans provide for a single
leaf bascule drawbridge and two
approach spans. In a closed posi-
ton the least vertical clearance
above local mean high and low wa
ter planes, proposed, are respect
lively 5.5 and 9.4 feet.
The proposed horizontal clearance
is 500 feet between the tenders and
$50 feet between the tenders on the
southerly side of the draw span and
the top of the lift leaf when that
leaf is raised for the passage of
vessels which require the draw to
be opened.
The bridge will be on the propos-
ed road which will connect with the
road now leading to Rehoboth. At
present it is necessary for those
using the route to Rehoboth to go
through Milford. The proposed road
will leave the northern entrance of
Milford near Levi Cemetery, and
will pass over the Mispillion river
about a mile below the main part
of the town. The road will be built
largely to accommodate Whining
tonians who have summer homes in
RehobOth.
The road has been in contempla-
tiOn for some time but when the
plan was originally decided upon
there was considerable opposition
in Milford because it was believed
that sending seashore travel around
the town would result in a loss of
for the merchants there.
Since then some of the opposition
has subsidized and the State Highway |
Department has continued its plans |
TO build the road. The argument !
lsed for the new road is that better
line can be made and there is less
chance of accidents when the main !
streets of towns are avoided. This |
las been the aim of the Highway
Commission, there being a feeling
hat those bound for a certain point
want to reach that point and will
lot stop in town on their way. 1t
urged on the other hand that if
hey do wish to go through the town
o make purchases they will do so
the distance is small.
Milford business interests have
cit That the cutoff could be located

HARVEST MOON COMES
SEPT. 29 this YEAR
rCentineed frem "a feael

moon rises. Conditions are nearly
as favorable at the following full
moon, known as the hunters moon,
which comes this year on October
28.
There is no ground for the belief
on the part of some people that the
harvest moon is larger than other
full moons: Whenever the moon at
any time is seen near the horizon,
either rising or setting, it always
appears to be much larger than
when it is high in the sky. This is
an illusion connected with the fiat
tened appearance of the sky, which
seems farther away at the horizon
than in the zenith.
The same illusion is experienced
in the case of the sun at its rising
and setting. Similarly, a constella-
ton, for example, the Big Dipper,
looks larger when it is near the hor-
izon. Actually the moon fills a small
Ter angle when it is rising, for it is
then 1000 miles farther away from
us than when it is overhead.

CHICAGO, Oct, 15.-Scores of
prosecution witnesses were under
heavy guard here today as the trial
Of sixteen men charged with caus-

The sixteen men, all henchmen
Of Morris Eller and his son, Judge
Emanuel Eller, bosses of the
Twentieth ward, are charged with
intimidating voters on primary day
last spring.
The Ellers also are under indict-
ment on the same charges, but have

Morris Eller was a candidate for
nomination as ward committeeman
in the primary last spring. His
opponent was Octavius Granady, a
Negro.
On primary day Granady was
murdered, election workers we're
beaten, several other men were shot,
and the ward was the scene of one
election fight after another through
out the day.
Frank j. Loesch, special attorney,
whose investigation Of election
crimes resulted in the indictment of
the Ellers and their followers, said
Sunday that it has beeen necessary
to maintain heavy guard over
all prosecution witnesses for
months.
To-day several Of The most i'm
portant witnesses were brought
back to Chicago and placed in Sc
clusion," Loesch said. 1--WE were
forced to take them, 500, 600 and
TOO hundred miles from Chicago to
keep them under constant guard.
"Those witnesses had been threat
ened with murder if they testified,
Enormous amounts of money had
been offered them to change their
stories on the witness stand.
Every conceivable means Of in
timidation was used to brighten
those witnesses. We had to spend
a considerable sum Of money in pro-
tecting them"
