A. FELIX DUPONT
GIVES $l,OO 900 FOR
new SCHOOL PROJECT
Acquires Site Near MiddIetOwn
At Cost Of $5O,OOO To Locate
Episcopal Institution.
WILL NOT Be RESTRICTED
Delaware Church School AssOcia-
ton Will Have Title To Prop
erty.-Others Interested Later.

Delaware is to have a new educa'
~tional institution which will cost
more than $1,000,000. 1t is the gift
.of Mr.. A. Felix DUPONT.
While the name of the institution
has not yet been chosen it will be a
Church boarding school for boys
formed primarily for the purpose OF
training boys for greater efficiency
i'll Christian service. The school
will be under the direction of a
corporation now applying for a
charter and to be known as the
Delaware Church School Associa-
tion which will also have title to
the property which has been dOnat-
ed by Mr.. DUPONT. 1t is understood
that several other persons will also
be interested in the founding of the
school later
AS a first step toward the realiza-
tion of the plan of Mr.. DUPONT, he
-lhas purchased the Comegy's Farm,
about two miles from Middletown,
NcOmprising a tract of $50 acres. The
property was bought for $4,000 and
lies between NoxentOwn Lake and
Silver Lake. The place is half mile
from the dupont Highway.
= The charter is being applied for
by directing committee chosen by
sN1r DUPONT and comprises Allen
Henry, Walter ]. Laird and the Rt.
SRev. Philip Cook, Bishop of the
Episcopal Diocese of Delaware.
!. The Corporation will constitute
The trustees of the school and they
will select the head master and the
Faculty and also direct the build
ing program.
: While the cost of the school has
not yet been determined, it is eX-
qected it will approximate at least
100000 with a similar sum as an
endowment.
The plans as so far worked out do
not contemplate large school at
first but to get it in operation as
soon as possible with carefully |
Selected group of students and an |
efficient teaching staff and then to |
add to the buildings as the require |
ments arise.
The following statement was is |
sued by the committee:
More than a year ago Mr.. A. Fe
Tx DUPONT made known to a few
friends his desire to build and en-
dow a church boarding school for
boys in the Diocese, of Delaware.
This matter was informally dis
cIissed among them for some time
and impetus given to the plan by
discussion of it with the head mas
ters of church schools at the time
of the General Convention of the
Episcopal Church meeting in Wash
ingtOn. All of those consulted ex-I
pressed the conviction that there
was the greatest demand for a
moderate price church boarding
school for boys in this section of
the East There are very few, if
any, such schools between New

Infected Eye Keeps Senator
From Convention.

Senator James E. Watson proba-

infected eye.
The Senator rested at the Column

The infection developed after a
barber removed a cinder from the

being able to attend the editors
meeting, the Senator is in good
spirits, however, and does not be-

The speech Watson was to have
made before the editors at Wyan-

BRIT AIN Gets
U. S. APOLOGY
Note Admits Error of Rum
Seizure at Sea.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The
United States has sent a formal
apology to the British government
for a rum seizure case involving vio-
lation of British sovereignty by an
American Coast Guard officer last
September, the State Department
revealed today.
Great Britain had charged that
Larry Christensen, commanding a
Coast Guard vessel, seized two suS-
pected rum runners off the Bahamas,
and took the ships and their crews
into harbor at Gun Bay, Bahamas,
where the cargoes and prisoners
were landed. The British held that
this intrusion upon British jurisdic-
ton violated International law and
custom.
Christensen subsequently admitted
the British stated the case accu-
rately.
The United States some time ago
agreed to turn over the seized ships,
cargoes and crews to British au-
thorities.

TAX LEVY Of
S1,O3 PROPOSED
FOR SCHOOLS
1929 Rate Same as This
Year, but Appropriations
Are Increased.

A proposed 1929 school budget re-
quiring a tax levy of LOB, the same
as this year, but with increased ap-
preparations, will be presented to
the school finance committee for
consideration early next week by
Albert F. Walsman, school business
director.
The finance committee is expected
to adopt the budget without mate
rial change, after which a public
hearing will be advertised.
The S1.O3 tax levy would raise
$6,967,551, an increase Of 100000
$6864,551
The additional funds without in
creased levy would result from an
estimated S1O,OOo,000 increase in the
assessed valuation.
WaIsman Prepares Budget
The proposed budget prepared by
Walsman is for S8,249,4 the diff
ference between this figure and the
amount to be raised by the levy
S1,316,280, being accounted for by
1888, 900 balance in the tuition fund
S35O,000 from the State apportion-
ment, $4,000 interest on invested
school funds, $4,000 from dog Ii
censes and a sum expected to be
absorved from the special fund bal
ance.
Walsman's suggested tax rate is:
Tuition, $.437; special fund, 1924;
library fund, 500; free kindergarten
fund, 5000.
The special fund. including all
maintenance of schools except
teachers, would receive $3,544,657. in
Guiding $4,000 to repay a tenn
porary loan to be made this fall.
Of this amount, $2,O91, ITO is to pay
off bond issues and interest, leav-
ing only 81 ,453,878 for actual school
purposes, such as repairs and altera-
tions, fuel, salaries other than
teachers, insurance, Institutional
supplies and all other expenses.
Chance for Review
The tuition fund, teachers SAL
aries, would receive S4,235,135. The
library is apportioned S423,938, an
increase of about $4,000 over last
year to permit repairs, and the kin
dergarten fund, $6O,881, a $4,000 i'll
crease.
The State tax board last fall re-
duce dthe school boards proposed
S1.45 levy to $103, and its proposed
budget from s8,O94,392.19 to So
703,001.
When the proposed budget and
levy is adopted, taxpayers will have
an opportunity to request a review
of the proposed figure shy the State
tax board.

"He was student from boyhood.
He graduated from Johns Hopkins
University with high honors and
twice since his graduation this uni
versity conferred upon him hon.
orary degrees because of his prof.
cheney in his chosen profession.
"He was a master of the entire
field of electrical engineering. He
was recognized throughout America
as one of it's leading electrical
engineers.
Mr. Todd's citizenship drew warm
praise from Foley. who said "he
always had time to vote in the
primary and on election day and
was actively identified with lodge
and club activities"
OF Mr.. Todd's home life, Foley
said, In the home circle he found
his moments of greatest pleasure.
He realized that in America the
home is the real basis of the Ma
tons greatness"
Bishop Joseph M. Francis of the
Episcopal Church directed the
services and eulogized the late
executive.
Street railway directors adopted
resolutions of coincidence Wednes-
day, expressing their deep sense of
loss at his DEATH" which occurred
suddenly at New York last Thurs

cided today whether rites for him
will be held here or whether the
body will be taken to Iowa, theH
former home, without services here.
They recalled how he had worked
hard in his fathers rug-cleaning
establishment, how he always had
been "a good boy" before.
They denied reports that he had
been missing from home since Sat-
urday. The night before his death,
Monday night, was the only night
he had ever been away from home
without his family knowing where
he was, it was said.

ALBANY, N. Y, July 19-Albany
is making arrangements TO handle
10000 persons when Governor
Alfred E. Smith officially is notified
of his nomination as the Democratic
presidential candidate.
The city's plans for the event
were being settled today as the
Governor continued to devote most
Of his time to the preparation of
his notification speech.
Meantime, despite his disavowals,
Smith apparently is keeping in
fairly close touch with the general
political situation. United States
Senator Tydings of Maryland and
his colleague, Senator Halves of Mis-
souri,, were visitors at the executive
mansion, Wednesday night.
Both men are members Of the
Democratic senatorial campaign
committee, and it is assumed the
Governor went over the prospects
of senatorial elections with them.
Neither Senator would discuss his
visit as he left the Governor
residence shortly before midnight.
Although he had planned to re-
main away from the capitol as much
as possible for the next two weeks,
the Governor is expected at his desk
again today about noon. Several
routine budget matters demanding
his personal attention are slated for
action, while he must also reach a
decision on the clemency plea of
Joseph Lefkowitz, who is scheduled
to go to the electric chair tonight
unless the Governor intervenes.
