LIBRARY INJUNCTION
DISMISSED BY JUDGE
District Commissioners Win Action
to Place Branch on Rhode
Island Avenue.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court today granted the mo-
ton of the District Commissioners to
dismiss a suit for injunction recently
brought against them by Joseph w.
Cheyney, 2615 Maple avenue. to pre-
vent the location of q branch public
library at 2206 Rhode Island avenue
northeast. Cheyney claimed that the
site selected was not within the area
designated by Congress.
Through Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert E. Lynch the Commissioners
claimed that they were directed to place
the building at Woodbridge and asserted
that the site is within the area generally
SO designated. They also attacked the
right of Cheyney to maintain the suit
and asserted that he had not shown
any peculiar damage to be sustained by
him by reason Of the locating OF the
library at the selected place.

locally this afternoon, followed by a
further decline Of temperatures tonight
There was indication today that the
mercury would fall several degrees I'M

light rain brought relief.
The lone casualty up to noon today
Marshall T. Baber, So, of 1112 Owen
place northeast, a boiler inspector fol
the Ivy City roundhouse, was overcome
while at work in the roundhouse this
morning. He was removed to the first
aid room at Union Station and given
first aid by Fire Rescue Squad No. /.
Six Are Frustrated.
Six heat prostrations occurred here
yesterday two OF them before noon.
Several other cities in the East were
as hot as Washington yesterday, nota-
bly, Baltimore and Richmond.
OF the heat prostrations which de-
veloped yesterday afternoon the most
serious was that of WI You, a 24-year-
old Chinese, who collapsed in the 800
block of Pennsylvania avenue. In fall
ing, the man is thought to have Suf-
fered a fractured skull. He was re-
moved-to Emergency Hospital and later
transferred to Gallinger.
William Turner, colored, 80, OF the
700 block of M street southwest, was
overcome by heat at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon on Ninth street near Penn
SyIvania avenue. He was treated at
Hospital.

moved to Emergency Hospital, where
he was treated and discharged

block of Chaplin street, was overcome
while working on the Arlington Memo
rial Bridge during the late afternoon.
He was treated at Emergency and sent
home.
Although the temperature only
reached SO degrees in New York yester-
day, four deaths there were attributed
to the heat, while a fifth occurred at
Wilmington. Del.
Excessively high temperatures pre-
far West as the Rocky Mountains.
Phoenix, Ariz, continued to hold Its
place as the hottest spot in the coun-
try, with q maximum of 40.
Brief thundershowers over the East
generally did little to alleviate the suf-
fering, although daily temperatures are
showing a gradual decline.
The lack of rain in some sections not
only precluded relief from the heat, but
at Holyoke, Mass, threatened to cause
the closing of a number of manufac-
turing plants for lack of waterpower.
The Connecticut River level dropped
nearly a foot in "a hours.

COM MISSION DENIES
VIRGINIA RAIL MOTION
Effort to Pass Resolution Protest.

BY the Associated Press.
Leon M. Bazile, assistant attorney
general of Virginia, attempted unsuc-
cessfully today to introduce before the
Interstate Commerce Commission a
resolution adopted three years ago by
the Virginia General Assembly protest.
ing the proposed leasing of the Vir-
ginia Railroad by the Norfolk g.
Western.
His motion was denied on the
grounds that the resolution had moth
ing to do with the hearing now in
progress on the Virginian's application
to construct bridge across the Ka-
nawha River at Deepwater, w. Va, to
connect with the Kanawha & Michigan
Railroad, which is operated by the
New York Central
Robert Tungstall Of Richmond, coun-
sci for the Chesapeake & Ohio, which
is opposing the Virginians application,
declared that the resolution could not
be pertinent because it was passed
before the Virginian filed its applica-
ton to construct the bridge.

that she would be dead when the
tree was dead. These statements
frightened the girl and she
rushed to court to break the eff

Urges Parents to Be
"Pals" to Children

New YOrk.-Education will not ad-
vance as it should until parents take
a more active interest in it for the
sake Of their children, believes Mrs.
Florence Y. Watkins, executive sec
retary of the National Congress OF
Parent-Teacher Associations.
Parents haven't played enough
with their. children" says Mrs. Wat
kins, who is conducting a course on
"the Parent-Teacher movement In
the summer session Of Columbia uni
versity.
"They have been censors instead
of playmates. They should come
down from their pinnacles and be-
come their children's pals. Parents,
however, are more alive to the pos
slbilities of training the child through
the first six years of life. Teachers
are more alphabetically inclined to
problems confronting the home. Com
munities have become more concerned
in making conditions right for the
child"

FEDERAL AGENTS WRECK STILL
AMID RAIN Of RIFLE BULLETS
INCONSISTENCIES ATTEMPT TIC
HALT RAID OF OFFICERS
One Still Found in Fodder Shock on
Farm of Victor Killen sand Another
Found Buried in Adjoining Woods

WithStanding an attack made upon
them with dynamite and rifle fire, Fed
eral prohibition officers from the office
of George A. Hill, Federal prohibi-
ton director for Delaware, succeeded
in locating and destroying three stills
that they found in fodder shocks on
the Victor Killen farm, II miles south
west of Dover, last week, and about
so gallons of moonshine found buried
in an adjoining woods, late Thursday
afternoon. The agents first found the
three stills hidden in the fodder shocks
and then advancing into the woods,
nearby, were greeted with fusilade
of bullets believed to have been fired
from rifles, presumably by moonshin-
ers. At first the agents did not re-
turn the fire, being content to seek
safety behind trees, but after about 25
shots had ben fired and stick of
dynamite landed about SO weet from
where the officers were standing, the
agents opened fire in the direction
from which voices We're heard. An
exchange Of shots then took place and
bullets filled the air around them. The
agents steadily advanced and found
one150-gallon barrel and partly fill
ed one buried in the ground. The
moonshiners did not raise the flag Of
truce but continued to fire during the
process Of destruction of the liquor
and the officers emerged from the
woods, victors, in the sense that they
had destroyed the illicit supply and
the stills, but without learning the
identity Of the owners. At the end Of
the battle which continued for almost
an hour, and darkness near, the NOON
sinners were apparently safely screen
ed in the woods with which they are
familiar, the agents withdrew.

EXLAINS SEAFORD SCHOOL GIFT
Pierre S. duOPnt Tells SeafOrd School
Board His Reasons for Donation

Pierre S. DUPONT, through whose
philanthropy Smyrna, Dover and
other towns down the state are CRATE
full for their fine school buildings has
explained to the Seaford School Board
just what his gift to them of $780,
last week, meant. The Seaford School
authorities are in receipt of a letter
from p. S. DUPONT in which he said
that after careful consideration made
the board on April 10, last year, in
which an agreement was made con
corning the replacement of the Sea-
ford school, the local board agreeing
to petition the Legislature for return
of funds advanced by him to build the
new school building, he had decided
that such an application to the Legis-
lature might be embarrassing and
form bad precedent. He stated in
his letter that the Legislature should
be free to act upon all bills placed be-
fore it, and it would be Unwise to
make a request that cannot be refused
without embarrassment. If this peti-
tion were made and granted, Mr.. du-
Pont said, additional projects of more
or less merit might also be carried
out in advance, and put up to other
Legislatures for reimbursement. He
said he disliked to be instrumental in
promoting what might eventually
prove a vicious custom. Instead of
the reimbursement, he suggested that
the Legislature set up a reserve en-
ergency fund available under strict
safeguards for just such happenings
as actually occurred at Seaford. 1t is
quite possible, he said, that other
schools or public buildings may also
be destroyed by fire or by an unfore-
seen calamity, SO that an emergency
fund seems advisable. He said he
hoped the Representative from the
Seaford district in the Legislature will
profit by their experience and assist
in the passage of a reasonable bill for
this purpose. 1t was announced sew
eral days ago, that Mr.. dupont had
given 100000 outright to the Seaford
School. This sum had been advanced
by Mr.. DUPONT to rebuild the school,
Superintendent Thornburg, of the Sea
ford schools, in replying to Mr.. du
Points letter, stated that the local
board of education had carefully stud
led the contents of his letter, and ap-
preciated the type of philanthrophy
which prompted him to hasten to the
relief Of the large group of school
boys and girls in the Seaford public
schools, occasioned by fire which de
stroyed the Seaford High School, April
l, last year. The local board noted
with interest the reasons Mr.. dupont
gave for not asking the State Legis-
lature to reimburse him for the outlay
of such a large sum in providing Sea
ford and the community with the fin
est modern and up-to-date school
building in Delaware, south of Viii

State Board of Health Has Situation
well Under ContrOH.Sewage in Towns
All of the raw milk now sold in this
State comes from tuberculin-tested
cows. the Delaware Health News, pub
lication of the State Board of Health,
states. The News states that when
the control work was begun four years
ago, only small percentage of the
milk came from tested cows, particu-
larly in New Castle County. The san
ltatlon needs Of variols small towns of
the state are outlined in an article
published in the News. A survey, in
cluded in the article, shows the total
lack Of sewerage systems in several
of the towns. Many towns, it is stat
ed, are also without adequate fire pro
lection. "Under the existing State
statutes, extensive improvements re-
quiring the issuance of bonds to pro-
vide the necessary funds must neces-
sarily be predicated on the authorize
ton Of such procedure by the State
Legislature" the article reads. 'Con-
sequently, any of the town officials or
other interested parties concerned in
bettering the sanitary conditions Of
the town in which they live, must be-
gin early to organize sentiment i'll
favor Of the improvements, which
must result in concrete bills to be
passed upon and granted BY the Leg
islature. Several towns have already.
had the power granted to them to is
sue bonds for certain purposes, but
the town authorities have not felt
justified for various reasons in putting
the question to popular vote among
the citizens Of the town" In refer
ring to the water supply of SONS
towns, the article sets forth that
campling of wells in towns where nc
public supply exists, reveals a large
percentage Of the wells contaminated
through faulty construction. "A par
tial summary of the needs of several
towns in the State, as published in the
health news, follows: Bellefonte-
