Nair Says Report Has Not . Come to His Ears-Pro- poses Further Check on System.

{ Councilman W. s. Warner of the third ward reported at a meeting Hast night of the ordinance commit .tee that he has heard reports 10 the -effect that not every person or firm $doing business with the city can sobtain the early payment Of hilts through the cash discount method. He asked Alderman n. l.. Nair, chairman Of the finance committee. if he had heard such reports and the latter replied negatively, adding that he would quickly look into the matter if it was called to his attcn- tion
 Alderman Nair spoke in favor of a change in the ordinances to add the chairman of the finance com mittee to the list of officials whose approval must be obtained before discounted bills can be paid. At present. the mayor, comptroller and head of the department from whose funds ;he bills are paid must ap- prove, and Alderman Nair Felt it would be well 10 add the finance committee chairman as "an added check All discounted bills are re- ported at the council after having been paid.
 Suggest S25 PcddIer's Fee
 Alderman Nair also spoke in layor of change in the existing or dinances to require a $25 license fee tor house. toulouse solicitors and Canvassers who come to this city from other places. He said there were many undesirables canyassing New Britain from time to time, 10 the annoyance of housewives. and if the ordinances obliged them to call at police headquarters and obtain a license, they would probably stay away. Those who wanted to pay the fee would be known to the police before they started Cn their rounds and it might be we'll also, to issue badges to canVassers so that house. wives would know at once whether or not the door ocll ringers were properly certified.
 Action on the first matter will be taken at a later meeting, and the corporation counsels office will draw lip proposed ordinance amendment Q cover the second recommendation, after which it will be acted on by the committee.

OFFICER WARNS ABOUT
INFECTED R bits
DR.. A. c. JOst Says Games In Near
by States Is Affected

DR.. Arthur c. Jost, executive Sec
retary of the State Board of Health
has issued warning to hunters con-
cerning the dressing of rabbits. DR..
Jost said: "The opening of the game
season reminds one that there has
been found disease among the rab-
bits of the states Immediately sur
rounding Delaware, which is capable
of being transmitted to man.
"The name of the disease is Tula-
raemia. 1t was first observed among
the animals of the Western states of
the Union. Recently it has made its
way eastward, and there is now no
doubt but that many if not all of
the states of the Atlantic seaboard,
have game animals in various stages
of the disease. That it has not yet
been discovered in Delaware prob
ably has only the significance that
it has not been looked for with suf-
ficient care.
"The disease is transferred in the
process of skinning or handling the
raw flesh of infected rabbits. Cook
ing the flesh kills the germ causing
the disease and prevents the trans
mission of it to the human subject.
A scratch or a cut on the hands
may make very easy the transfer OF
the infection.

Rev. John Rankin became pastor and
preached in the church for 20 con-
secutive years. He died in 1894. He

son became pastor and continued for
six years.

RED MEN INACCURATE
NEW INSURANCE PLAN
Delaware Members Of The Order
Will Benefit By New Policy

A new insurance plan has been
1naugurated by the national body of
the Improved Order of Red Men.
known as the insurance department,
which will be operated directly from
national headquarters at PhiladeI-
phia under the management of Ma
tional Secretary Herbert F. Stetser.
A meeting of representatives of all
the tribes of the order located in
Delaware, was held in the wigwam
of Usage Tribe, Wilmington, on We'd
nesday, at which time Mr.. Stetser
and other officers of the national in
surance department explained the
merits of the new insurance to be
issued to members and their famil-
les.
The new insurance to be offered
to its members by the Improved Or
der of Red Men in no way affects the
present plan of the order through
which it pays annually S1,750,000 for
relief of the sick and the burial of
it's dead. Over $32,000,000 has thus
been disbursed during the past 80
years, this amount is in addition to
the $2,0O0,0OO expended for the care
of its 1000 orphans during the past
ten years.
State or sectional insurance de-
partments will be established
through the national insurance de-
partment in every state. This plan of
Insurance is expected to place the
Improved Order of Red Men in the
front ranks of all the great benevo-
lent and protective fraternities in
the nation.

NO SPECIAL SESSION
TO ACT IN TAX MIDDLE
Inheritance Law Trouble Can Be
Fixed By Court Says Satterthwaite

A special session of the legislature
will not be required to correct the
flaw in the State inheritance tax
law.
This is stated in the opinion sent
by Attorney General Reuben Satter-
thwaite, Jr., to Governor G. Doug
lass Buck. The Governor had re-
quested an opinion from him after
considerable discussion had arisen
as to what course Of action would
have to be taken.
Mr.. Satterthwaite, in his opinion,
declares that the matter can be
properly adjudicated by the courts in
a decision found in a case stated, or
in a case brought by agreement.
In the meantime, the Register of
Wills Of each county is being in
structed to continue in his collection
of the inheritance taxes.
Due to an amendment adopted by
the past session of the legislature, it
was said that the present State in
heritance tax law is null and void
1t was said in political circles that
special session Of the legislature
would be required to correct the
law.
AS result of Mr.. Satterthwaite's
opinion, It is not likely that a spe-
cial session will be required.

TRUCKS HAULED MUCH
PRODUCE THIS YEAR
Official Check Shows That Penin-

That the truck movement carrying
Del-Mar-Va products to various mar
kets has reached impressive proper
tions is evidenced in a report just
completed by the Del-Mar-Va East
ern Shore Association, covering the
past five months of the present year.
This period is accepted as being the
height of the shipping season, al
though it does not include shipments
of broccoli and turnip greens early
in the spring.
From the reports Of the Delaware
State Highway weighing stations,
which keep accurate and detailed
records of the truck traffic, showing
loading point, destination, nature of
load, as well as gross and net
weight, the figures were tabulated.
While the association explains
that there is undoubtedly material
hauling by trucks of Del-Mar-Va
commodities from the Eastern Shore
of Maryland counties which does not
pass through Delaware and is there
fore unrecorded, investigation shows
that a majority of trucks from the
