SELECT COOLIDGE
TO SETTLE STATE
BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Delaware And New Jersey Agree
For Appointment Of Former
President As Master.
OYSTER BEDS INVOLVED
Supreme Court Seat RumOred
For Mr.. Coolidge May Pre-
vent Acceptance.

Attorney General Reuben Satter-
thwaite, Jr:, returned from Wash
ington Monday night. In the capital
he appeared in the Supreme Court in
the boundary dispute between New
Jersey and Delaware. By agreement
of Mr.. Satterthwaite with Attorney
General William A. Stevens, of New
Jersey, a master will be appointed
to take testimony, and if he will ac-
cept, former President Calvin Cool
idge will be the master appointed by
the Supreme Court. He has not yet
been asked if he will accept the po-
sition.
The case occupied but little time
in the Supreme Court on Monday.
Attorney General Stevens had pre-
pared an application, which was pre-
sented by Assistant Attorney GEN
eral Duane E. Minard for a master
to take testimony, and to this Attor-
ney General Satterthwaite had
agreed. Following a conference be-
tween the legal Representatives of
the two states, the name of former
President Coolidge was suggested to
the court for appointment as master.
The attorney general told the court
that it was desired to have man of
the legal training and ability of Mr..
Coolidge and also have man who
resided at a considerable distance
from the place in dispute.
Chief Justice Taft told the repre-
sentatives of the two states that the
of Mr.. Coolidge would
be given consideration and an an
made later. Both states
are hopeful that Mr.. Coolidge will
accept.
The only thing in the way is a
persistent rumor about Washington
that Mr.. Coolidge is soon to be ap-
pointed to the Supreme Court Bench,
Both states are particularly interest
ed in having Mr.. Coolidge appointed
for the reason that common law will
enter into the dispute to a consider
able extent and New England law
yers are especially familiar with the
common law.
1t was pointed out at the brief
hearing on Monday that a man of un-
usual ability is needed for the posi-
ton of master because it will be
to trace the boundaries
back to 1864. About 10000 acres of
seed oyster beds are involved in the
dispute. The judges smiled when
The attorney general spoke of going
back to 1864.
After a master is appointed he will
hear testimony in the case and at
the conclusion of the testimony will
make a report and recommendation
to the Supreme, Court. That body
will then examine the evidence and
either confirm or set aside the find
Ings of the master. 1t is expected
hat it will be several months before

HOLD ANOTHER DANCE
College Students VIII Celebrate Be-
ginning OF Vacation.

On next Wednesday evening, De-
cember 18th, the Downhomers of the
University of Delaware will give an
other dance at the Sesqui Inn at
Dover. 1t will be remembered that
on Thanksgiving eve they gave the
annual Thanksgiving dance at Dover
and at that time it was decided by
those present that such a good time
should come oftener than once
year, and this dance on the day that
the Christmas vacation commences
at Delaware is the result.
The dance will be a slightly more
elaborate edition of the Thanksgiv-
ing dance. 1t will be cabaret dance
with the same cover charge and the
same orchestra. All Downhomers
dances are open to the public, but
because of the limited space it is
advisable to phone and reserve a
table in advance.

SUSSEX COUNTY MAY
BUILD A new JAIL
Levy Court Goes On Record As
Approving The Grand Jurors
Report.

The first move towards a new iail
for Sussex county was taken by the
Levy Court at a meeting on Tues
day when a resolution was adopted
to request the next legislature to
pass bill giving the county author
ity to borrow the necessary money.
The action was the result of the
severe arraignment of the Jail by
the grand purors in report they
recently submitted to the Superior
Court judges and the Levy Court
Commissioners. The commissioners
state that they are fully informed
as to the existing conditions" at the
county Jail and that they are in
hearty accord with the recommenda-
tions of the grand jury"
In 1915, a statute was passed
granting the right to build a PENAL
institution at the Sussex County
Almshouse farm, two miles from
Georgetown, but no provision was
made as to raising the funds. An in
stitution, capable of taking care of
the increased number of prisoners
over former years. will probably
cost $250,O0O.
The resolution adopted by the
Levy Court follows:
Whereas, the Levy Court Of Sus-
sex County has read and discussed
the report of the grand jury as sub
mitted to the Court, and
Whereas, the said Levy Court is
in hearty accord with the recommen-
dations of the Grand Jury in re-
CARDS to the erection of a new Jail,
and are fully informed as to the
conditions as now existing, but un-
der the present statute as passed by
the legislature in 1915 they have
only the authority to erect a Jail and
no provision was made to raise |
funds for the payment Of the same,
and
Whereas, the cost of modern |
iail, to meet the needs of Sussex |
County, could not be met out of cur
rent funds; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the Levy Court
If Sussex County, recommend to the
next legislature the advisaDility OF
passing a statute allowing the Levy
Court to bond Sussex county for an
amount necessary to take care of
he cost of erecting modern Jail,
md be it further
Resolved, that the Levy Court pro-
,eed to obtain information with re-
;pect to the kind and character and
cost Of a suitable building and its
equipment, and a proper site for the
same"
In the event that new Jail is
,uilt, there is but little likelihood
hat it will be placed at the Aims
house farm. There are several OBJ T.
ections for having it removed more
han two miles from the Court
House. Some of the objections are
hat it would cost possibly $1,000
