MAN FINED FOR TRAPPING
Another Man Fined for killing
Pheasant in Closed Season

On a charge of trapping without
a nonresident license, WE. Camp
bell, of Philadelphia, who owns a
farm near Milford, was fined $40
and costs for trapping on his own
land. The case was brought by
Game Warden Boggs. Mr.. Camp
bell admitted trapping but stated
he had been informed that even
though he was a resident of Penn
sylvania he could trap on his own
lands in Delaware without secur-
ing the nonresident license. He
said he purchased the farm in Mil
ford Neck about six months ago
and had made a practice of spend
ing his week-ends on the place, and
part of the time he would trap.
The game warden had visited his
farm on Tip" and in company
with Warden Watson had seen op-
possums which Campbell admitted
catching. The justice ruled that if
a person owned lands in Delaware
and was a resident of another
State he could not trap on them
without a nonresident license and
imposed a fine of SO and costs.
Frederick Owens, of Lincoln, was
also arrested by Game Warden
Boggs charged with killing a
pheasant, which birds the game
warden asserted, the Game Com
mission was anxious to protect for
a time. Owens denied the charge,
but evidence was admitted show
ing that Owens had taken a gun
and requested that a neighbor Kill
the bird. The neighbor declined
and then Owens, it was testified
took the gun and started towards
the field where the bird was seen.
The neighbor heard the report but
would not say that Owens fired the
gun. Other witnesses testified that
Owens had told them that he killed
the pheasant but Owens asserted
that he only told them as q joke.
Justice HENDERSON, of Milford, be-
fore whom the case was tried, i'm
posed of a fine of S25 and costs.
Evidence in the case was secured
by Game Warden Joseph Watson.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH PAY
ATTENTION To MILK SUPPLY.
GUARDS INTEREST OF PUBLIC
BY ANALYSIS FOR BACTERIA
Cows Milk Regarded an Ideal Food
But Must Be Furnished the Con-
sumers in a Safe Condition

The Health Department which
procures for its community a good
milk supply merits the heartiest
thanks which the community can
give it. Cows milk is in many re-
spects an ideal food. Easily diges-
tible, containing in correct
amounts all the constituents which
are required for life and growth,
the place it fills in the family diet
ary can be taken by no other
known food. If, however, it can
support animal life, it is also able
to support germ life; and, as pro-
duced under ordinary marketing
conditions, it may fall far short of
what a safe food may be. It is
thus brought about that, though it
has been used with advantage by
millions, it has been the vehicle by
which death has been brought to
thousands. Diseases which the an
imal has may be conveyed to man
through it. 1t may be infected
with the germs of human diseases
if an individual, in the dangerous
stages of the disease, is engaged in
its collection, preservation, or dis
tribution. 1t may contain many
germs or bacteria, not the germs
which ordinarily cause disease, but
other kinds which, themselves
harmless, may not set up any spec
ific illness, but may prepare the
way for the others the dangerous
ones. Bacterial counts very often
indicate their presence in very
large amounts. A good quality
milk (Grade Al should not contain
more than $4,000 in cubic cent?
ceter, or about quarter of tea
spoonful. Counts running into the
millions are not uncommon. Any
Health Department is justified in
asking that milk be furnished to
the consumer in a safe condition,
so far as the presence of germs is
concerned, that it contains the cor
rect proportions Of fat, sugar, and
nitrogenous material, that st is
clean, that no ingredient of any
kind has been added to it, and that
it is delivered and used within a
reasonable time of It's collection.
A constantly exercised care and
attention to detail is necessary if
these conditions are 20 be met. The
Local Board of Health which
brings it that this care and atten-
tion be always in evidence is fill
ing a very important place in its
community life.

EXTEND POWERS OF JUDGES
Members of National League Make
Recommendations for Changes

Members of National League Make
Recommendation for Changes
/ Delaware members of the Ma
tional Economic League believe
that the most important step to be
taken for the Improvement Of the
administration of justice in this
State is a better method of de-
termining rules of practice and
procedure Answering a recent
QUESTIONABLE the Delaware mem
bers also voted to give more power
to Judges in instructing jury.
Other suggestions in the order
they were made were: Providing
for arbitration of business disput-
es; improving technic of law MAX
ing; establishment of judicial coun-
Gil; giving defendant right to
waive jury trial; giving less than
II jurors power 20 return verdicts
in both civil and criminal cases;
providing small juries for misde-
meanor cases; official State bar or
ganization with powers of self dis
cipline; reclassification of crimes;
better method of selecting judges;
giving more power to court of ap-
peals; higher requirements for ad-
mission to bar; better method of
prescribing organization of admin
istrative and clerical side of courts
providing for experts to determine
mental capacity of defendant; pro-
viding for public defenders; change
in tenure of judges; unification of
/ judicial system. In Delaware judg-
es are appointed by the Governor.
The aim of the National Economic
League is to unite the best men"
in all sections Of the country in an
effort to secure a consensus of
opinion as to which are the most
important economic, social and po-
litical problems; to disseminate the
leading facts and arguments. Each
year special committees are ap-
pointed to study and investigate
the subjects selected by the Ma
tional Council as being of para
mount Importance, and to sub
nit reports covering their findings.

SLAUGHTER NECK CHURCH
Corner Stone Laying to Take Place
SUNDAY, November oath

The new Methodist Episcopal
Church in Slaughter Neck is near
ly completed, and the dedication
and corner stone laying will take
place, Sunday, November oath, at
which time plans are being made
to have the largesc gathering of
the people ever known in Slaugh-
ter Neck. The church stands along
the new concrete highway leading
from Milford to Rehoboth, and in
front of the old church, which was
built 70 years ago. The indebted
ness has all been paid except $4,000
which will be raised, it is hoped,
when the church is dedicated. In
1855 Samupel Draper decided to
the trustees OF Slaughter Neck the
land and in 1856 the first church
was built thereon The cemetery
laid out adjoining it, containing
half-an-acre of land, was purchas-
ed from Amos Bennett. The plot
of land on which the new church
stands, is that land lying between
the old dirt road and the new con-
crete highway and it was bought
by the trustees from ]. B. Argo for
church purposes. 1t is there the
new church stands; a striking fig
ure in the view as highway travel
ers swing across q wide curve and
directly by the new structure. The
dedication services will attract
many to this section of Sussex
county from all parts of the penin-
sula. as well as from a distance.

". D. C0HEE, CHESTERT0WN
ASKS PAROLE FOR SWIFT
GORDON SWIFT SENTENCED
TO EIGHTEEN MONTHS
Child Wife Begs Father to Inter
cede, Declaring She Desired to
Live With Him--Consider Case

W.D. Cohee, of near Hope, whose
14-year-old daughter, Emma Cohee
eIoped to Chestertown on May 25
with Gordon Swift, where they Sc
cured a marriage license and were
married next day in Rock Hall by
the Rev. w. S. Grant, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, has
petitioned the judges of the Circuit
Court for Kent county to parole
Swift in his custody. Swift was
convicted of perjury by the court
in Chestertown last week on a
charge preferred by the father of
the girl following their marriage.
Swift admitted that he swore
falsely to the girls age when he
applied there for a license. He was
sentenced to 18 months in the
House of Correction. He is in jail
in Chestertown awaiting transfer.
Meanwhile it is believed that the
girl wife has prevailed upon the
father to seek parole for the man
who was formerly boarder in the
Cohee home in order that she may
live with him as she expressed a
desire to do when she testified be-
fore the court last week. The pair
were arrested in Wilmington fol-
lowing their elopement. Swift was
taken to the Kent Jail, and the girl
returned to the home of her par
ents, where she has since resided.

Concerning longs.

CAMUEL ORNITz. author Of the
- story "Tong War;" from which
Paramount's latest all-talking drama,
chinatown Nights" was adapted for
the screen, has made an extensive study
of the growth of the Chinese tongS In
the United States. He is recognized as
one of the greatest living authorities
on Chinese life in this country.
Chinese tongs, or mutual protec..
tive societies, are wholly a product OF
the United States" says OrnitZ, and
their activities are little known on the
other side of the Pacific"
Ornitz found that the first tong or
ganized in the United States had It's
beginning in the Western gold fields
about 1860, but that 1t did not gain
strength until almost 40 years later.
THE first tong wars, no more or less
than street gang fights and dark cor
ner murders. started in New YORK
about 1885," he says.
cat first there were two principal
tongs, the On Leongs and the HIP
Sings. Later a tong called the -Four
Brothers appeared in New York and
gained followers. In 1912 fourth tong
appeared, the Kun Ian Wui Saw, and,
in 1921, there was a general tong war
on the West Coast. During this year
four new orders appeared, the Suey
Wings, the Bing Kongs, the Suey IONS
and the Jung Wings.
Each of these organizations came
about through competing gambling m
terests, the tong being organized as
protective measure"
