CROSSING CRASH At HARTLY
RESULTS IN DEATH AND INJURY
RAYMOND TIBBITT WAS KILLED
AND JAMES EMBERT, INJURED
Accident Occurred Wednesday After
noon at the HartIy Cannery When
Train Hits Automobile Truck

One man is dead and another seri-
ously injured as result of railroad
crossing accident near Hartly on
Wednesday afternoon shortly before
five o'clock The dead man is Ray
mond Tibbitt, aged 50 years and the
injured man is James Embert, aged
A years. The men were riding in
the cabin of truck at the time of
the accident. They had delivered
load of tomatoes to the plant of w.
H. Neal and Sons, along the railroad
just west of Hartly, and were return
ing to their home in Maryland be-
tween the Delaware State line and
Millington. Embert, the owner of the
truck was driving, and as he was
crossing the track at the canning
plant, he observed a freight train ap
preaching from the south and tried to
avoid being hit by turning his truck
up the track. The train first hit the
truck in the rear about forty feet
north of the crossing and hit it on the
side again a few feet further away.
The second crash drove the truck into
a switch along the track and it turned
over pinning the riders under the
wreckage. Workmen at the plant as
sisted the train crew in removing the
injured men from the wreckage and
they We're taken to the Kent General
Hospital, Dover, by E.C.Daly,of Hart
In and X W. Webster, superintendent
Of the plant. A preliminary exam
ination showed that Tibbitt was suf-
fering from internal injuries and that
many bones in his body were broken
He died about an hour after being ad-
mitted To the hospital. Embert was
badly cut and bruised but il thought
to have escaped internal injury. Cor
poral Samuel Powell and Officer s. H.
King of the State Highway Police
hurried To the scene of the accident
and are making AT investigation. The
contact Of the truck with the steel
rail on the switch was 50 great that
the rail was bent and raised off of
the ties. The front part of the loco
motive was damaged by the crash.
Many Of the workmen at the Neal
canning plant were eye witnesses to
the accident and assisted in clearing
I'D the wreckage. After the death Of
Tibbitt, Coroner Grier Minner was
notified and went to Dover. He sum
moned jury and after having them
view the body, released the body To
relatives who desired to remove it
from the hospital Tibbitt was un-
married. The jury after hearing the
evidence rendered a verdict that Tib-
bitt came to his death from a frac-
tured skull by being hit by train D56
on August %, south Of Hartly, said
death not being due to any negligence
on the part Of the engineer or his
crew" I"

Work Begins This Week-Oysters in
Shell and Opened. Will be Examined
On September 5, R. c. Beckett, san
itary engineer of the State Board of
Health will begin his annual inspec-
ton of the oyster beds in Delaware,
and test the waters in which they
grow. This survey will cover all the
creeks that are in Delaware, where
there are oyster beds as well as the
Delaware side of the Bay. Samples
of the water, of oysters in the shell
and of opened oysters will be axam-
ined at the laboratory of the State
Board of Health to determine whether
there is any pollution. Later on when
the oyster shucking houses open, Mr..
Beckett will inspect them and their
surroundings and make inquiry con
cerning the employees. The State law
demands all employees shall be free
from insidious diseases. In this way,
shipments of oysters from Delaware
will carry the protection and guaran-
tee of the State Board of Health, of
satisfactory inspection. Three more
oyster shucking houses have been
constructed since last winter, and the
prospects are that the oyster season
this year will be equally as good if
not better than last year.

Give Program at Rotary MeetlnS on
Thursday Night-G.S. Williams Talks
AT the meeting of the Smyrna Ro-
tary Club held on Thursday last at
The Wayside Inn, the Georgetown
Rotary Club had charge of the even
ing program. The program as pre-
sented by the Georgetown Club was
in the form of a very interesting and
entertaining talk by George 5. Viii
liams, president of the Sttae Board of
Education, who spoke on Rotary Ed
ucation." The Education of a Rotar-
ian in Rotary is very much the same
as the education of our children in
our public schools of the present day.
The Rotarian who is willing to learn
Rotary will always find something
new and interesting to study. The
scope of Rotary Education is unlimit-
ed and highly entertaining for the
Rotarian who goes to seek out this
knowledge. States and Nations spend
millions of dollars annually teaching
their children to become good citizens.
The knowledge as received from the
text books in the schools is but a step
ping-stone for our children of today
to learn to become good citizens of
tomorrow. So it is with Rotary. RO
tary has as its textbook "The six OBJ
iects of Rotary" which teach the Ro
tartan many high and lofty ideals,
but it is necessary for the true RO-
tartan to put these ideals into prac-
tice daily, both in his home life and
his business or profession, in order to
become that which Rotary asks of
him. Visiting members from the
Georgetown Club were as follows: E.
P. Burkholder, "Bud' Coy, George
Lindenkohl, George f. Swain, G. T.
Lynch, John T. Carey, Harry C.Davis,
George S. Williams, Howard T. Ennis,

given his friends cause to congratu-
late him. The prisoners in the Gail

men were arrested shortly before 10

were locked in two cells in the lower
part of the pail, and after being left
by Sheriff Frazier and Private Lamb,

leading to the main floor, and with it
broke the lock on their cell After
getting out, they are said to have
torn up a section of the floor, broke
several windows, and did other dam
age to the Jail in an effort to get out
The noise attracted the attention Of
Sheriff Frazier, who placed them in
another cell after he had quieted them
with a drawn revolver. Charges Of

against Kozlowski, Maliszewski, Pal
erowski and Krakus, and they were
released under $500 bail each pending
