There are several reasons why
this action has been decided upon.
Mr.. Grantland is convinced that

MARYLAND MAN DIES
FROM RABBIT FEVER
He Had Skinned Animals After Gun
ming Trip-Warning Issued

The second case of tularemia, or
rabbit fever, reported from the Eas-
ton, Md, section of the peninsula
this season, proved fatal to Wallace
Sinclair, aged 6S, a farmer of the
Sherwood district, near Easton, last
week.
Mr.. Sinclair died after an illness
of three weeks at the home of his
son-in-law, Edgar Harrison, at Sher-
wood.
Mr.. Sinclair had been out cunning
and had killed several rabbits. While
skinning the animals the germ of
the disease infected his hands and
later spread over his body. He
leaves a wife, one son, who lives in
Baltimore and daughter, Mrs. Ed
gar Harrison, of Sherwood.
The first reported cast of tulare-
mia was confirmed by the Maryland
State Board of Health last week
when blood tests showed that Lloyd
w. Sharkey, who resides on the
Parson Green Farm, near Church
Hill, Queen Anne county, Md, was
suffering with the disease. He has
been ill for three weeks, but is be-
lieved to have passed the danger
point. Physicians are confident that
he will recover.
Health officials are puzzled over
the return of the disease in Easton
section. Last year there were a
number of cases reported from that
section, but the theory has prevailed

GOLD STAR MOTHERS
ARE TO GO ABROAD
Will Be Guests OF Government
On Pilgrimage To Graves OF
American Soldiers.

Of II eligibles listed, only five
Delaware Gold Star mothers intend
to go abroad at Government expense
to visit the graves of sons killed in
the World War and buried in Amer
ican cemeteries in Europe. Three of
these propose to sail on one of the
Government boats in 1880, and two
prefer to go later.
Those who have informed the War
Department that they desire to make
the voyage next year are the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. C. A. Hoffecker Cahoon, of
Middletown, mother of John ]. Hof-
fecker, private, Co. B, 9th Infantry,
who is buried in Oise-Aisne ceme-
terry.
Mrs. R. W. F. Roberts, Whining
ton, mother of Laurance I. Roberts,
first lieutenant, 18th Aero Squad
ron, buried in Somme cemetery.
Mrs. Sarah J. Simmons, Whining
ton, mother of Ronald ]. Buchanan,
corporal, Co. D, 327th Infantry, bur-
led in Meuse-Argonne cemetery.
Later, the following plan to make
the trip, in 1881 or 1892:
Mrs. Louise Wilson, of Harring-
ton, mother of Harry W. Wilson.
Mrs. Paris T. Carlisle, of Milford,
mother of PARTS T. Carlisle, first
lieutenant, 319th Infantry, buried in
cemetery.
Ten other Delaware eligibles have
the War Department that
they do not intend to go at all. Two
others the department has been un-
able to communicate with, and their
are not known.
1t is estimated that the cost Of the
rip to the Government will be about
$40 per mother or widow making
he trip. Mothers and widows of
lead whose bodies were brought
back and inferred in the United
States are not eligible for the trip.

BUCK NAMES THREE TO
STUDY AIRPORT NEEDS
Acts So That Delaware May EVentu-
ally Get Share OF Aerial Business

Looking forward to the future de-
velopment of aviation, Governor G.
Douglass Buck has appointed COM
mittee of three members to study
the needs of airports in this State
and to make recommendations to
him for his consideration and pre-
sentation to the 1881 session of the
Legislature.
The members of the committee
are Henry Belin du Pont and Angus
B. Echols, of the du Pont Company
and former Chief Deputy Attorney
General James R. Morford.
Governor Buck, in a formal state
ment notifying the members of the
committee of their appointment,
said:
1--WE discussed not so long ago
the need of the State preparing it.
self to share in the business which
it would seem is sure to come
through development of aerial
transportation, and 1 am more i'm
pressed as the weeks pass with the
service such committee as we
thought of could render the State.
In view of your willingness to assist
my administration by serving as a
member of what might, for want of
a better term, be known as the Avia-
ton Committee, 1 take this oppor-
tunity to more or less formally no.
tify you of your appointment as
members.
while know nothing about avi-
alton, and less If possible, regard
ing the business that is done by air,
I do believe the State should seri-
ously consider maintaining at least
one modern airport. If we wait too
long to do this, some of the adjoin-
ing States will get the business that
might come to us.
"My thought is that the proposed
committee, after studying the States
aviation needs, will prepare a report
to be submitted to the next legis-
lature for their consideration, and,
we shall hope, adoption. greatly

ers who were in the vicinity of the
Carey farm on Saturday night. The
theft was reported to the authorities
and an investigation was started by
State Detective Donoway.
While coon hunting in the thick
pine woods near the farm of Wilbur

fled his property. Rumors that two
