STABBING AFFAIR AND FIRE
ALARM STIRS SMYRNA FOLKS
FIRE IN UNOCCUPIED Dwell
LING BACK OF GAS WORKS
Robert Johnson, Negro, Badly Cut
and Beaten in Fight With Five
Others - Taken to Hospital

A stabbing affair on East street
and fire alarm calling Smyrna's
fire equipment to the unoccupied
residence back of the gas works,
threw Smyrna into more or less ex-
citement late Saturday night. With
in an hour a negro was stabbed and
badly injured, five negroes were ar
rested in connection with the case,
a young white man was arrested in
the centre Of the town for driving
along the street in an automobile
without lights, and a fire back Of
the old gas works near the Boule-
ward, concluded the chapter of oc-
currences. The first excitement oc-
Cured when a number of negroes
on East street, got into an alterca-
tion and Robert johnson was stab
bed in the side and also beaten over
the head. He alleged that he was
attacked and cut by Paris Carney,
regro, and that Otis Boyer, an
other negro known as Goat, and
the wife and three sisters of John
son were there. johnson was TAX
en- to the office of DR.. Vaughn, but
after the latter had placed two
stitches in his side to close one of
the wounds, the negro left and was
next seen on the DUPONT Boulevard
apparently on his way home. He
had not gone far however, until he
fell exhausted and the police sent
him to the Kent General Hospital,
Dover, where it IS feared that he
has a fractured skull in addition to
other injuries. Carney was arrest
ed and held in $4,000 bail BY Mag
istrate Hanratty to await the re-
suit Of Johnson's injuries. The
other four negroes arrested were
fined, with the costs, $500 each.
Shortly before midnight the fire
company was called to a fire in an
unoccupied building in the rear Of
the old gas works. Both fire en-
gines We're taken to the scene and
succeeded in extinguishing the
blaze without serious damage. Con-
siderable excitement ensued be
cause there are a number of old
buildings in the section. It is sup
posed that the fire was caused by
vagrants using the building as a
stopping place for the night.

PEOPLES NATIONAL BANK OF
MIDDLETOWN COMING THRU
FIRST DIVIDEND ANNOUNCED
BY ]. NJ. SWAN, RECEIVER
1t is Expected by Cooperation of
Debtors and Creditors, Returns
viii be Larger Than Expected

Creditors of the Peoples Nation
al Bank of Middletown which went
into the hands of a receiver after
it closed on December 14th, last,
were pleased Thursday when ]. NJ.
Swan, the receiver, announced that
first dividend of SO 1-2 per cent
would be paid within a week or ten
days. This will release about
100000 around Middletown. The
largest check will be for an amount
in excess of $4,000. Dividend checks
and schedules were recently COM
pleted and mailed to the Comptrol-
ler of the Currency at Washington,
D. o., for approval. They will be
signed and returned to the receiver
for distribution. They will be
available, it is believed, within ten
days. In addition to the 100000
distribution, it is understood that
liabilities of the bank in the way
Of secured creditors to the extent
of about S125,OO0 have been taken
up. Official notice will be given by
the receiver when the checks may
be had. In order for them to OBJ
tain the checks it will be necessary
for creditors to present their re
ceiver's certificates issued on their
claims. Such certificates will be
returned with the checks for tile
first payment. It is felt that the
creditors are fortunate in being
able to receive one-third Of their
claims within FIVE months of the
time the bank closed. 1t is claim
ed that it is frequently a year be-
fore a dividend is declared. Ere
quently these dividends are but q
few cents on the dollar. Addition
al payments will be made at such
times and in such amounts as the
funds accumulated by the receiver
warrant 1t is pointed out that the
present payment can not be taken
as an indication of what the future
ones will be. The bank closed on
December IA last when William B.
Baker, national bank examiner was
placed in charge. He remained
there until January Is when Mr..
Swan was appointed receiver and
has since been active in handling
is not known how long it viii take
to turn all of the assets of the bank
into cash. With cooperation of
both the debtors and creditors OF
the bank it is believed that the fin
al returns will be much larger than
was at one time expected. It may
also interest the creditors to know
that instead of the charge being
ten per cent Of the total assets Of
the bank for winding up its affairs,
the comptroller's charges include
only actual expenses and legitimate
salaries, plus one twenty-ifth OF
one per cent of the actually assets
after liquidation.

EXPLOIT DEL-MAR-VA HOMES
President and Mrs. Hoover Present
ed With Bound Prospectus of Ten
Estates Suitable for White House

Estates Suitable for White House
President and Mrs. Herbert G.
Hoover have been formally pre-
sented with an especially prepared
individual copy of a survey prepar-
ed by the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association, offering loca-
tions for a Summer White House
on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. The
presentation was made to the
President on Friday by Congress
man and United States Senators
directly representing Del-Mar-Va.
Congressman 7. Alan Goldsborough
of Maryland, acted as spokesman.
In the group with him were United
States Senator's Phillips Lee Golds-
borough and Nillard F. Tydings, of
Maryland; Congressman Robert G.
Houston and United States Sena-
tors Daniel o. Hastings and John
G. Townsend, Jr., Of Delaware. The
survey, in the form Of an engraved
portfolio, contained a description
Of ten outstanding estates on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, which early
this year were offered as locations
for a prospective Summer White
House, which had been advocated by
former President Coolidge. The in
dividual copy for President and
Mrs. Hoover was bound in leather
and stamped il gold on the cover
were the words, president and
Mrs. Herbert c. Hoover" with a
brief title of the survey and a
small insignia Of the Del-Mar-Va
Association. In addition to photo
graphs and descriptive matter Of
the several estates a general de-
scription of the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sui illustrated with views in art
photography told Del-Mar-Va's s
story. A brief introduction to the
survey explained that the Associa-
ton believes that the Dei-Mar-Va
Peninsula is unquestionably the
logical location for permanent
Summer White House because OF
its accessibility to Washington BY
every means of transportation and
because Of the numerous attrac-
tions in the way of recreation and
pleasure, while at the same time
assuring privacy. Because of the
interest expressed by the President
in out-of-door sports, and especial
" fishing, several photographs pre-
sented views of the wonderful re-
suits which fishermen have found
in Del-Mar-Va's waters. Following
the presentation to President Hoov-
er, Congressman Goldsborough
made an address from the floor in
the House explaining why the Del
Mar-Va Association had prepared
this survey and then presented to
each member of the House and
Senate a replica of the portfolio.
He also introduced bill, similar TO
the Fess measure, which had pro
vided for a Summer White House

which had been reported out OF
