HASTINGS SAYS TARIFF
MUST FAVOR ALL
Delaware United States Senator
Says West Shall Not Gain
Favor Over East.

United States Senator Daniel O.
Hastings, declared at Washington
on Saturday that there will be no
tariff bill which does not protect the
East as well as the West"
1--WE may be safe in assuming, .
Senator Hastings also declared,
that there will be no tariff bill un-
less the debenture plan of the Sen
ate is eliminated and the flexible
provision restored.
mo political party" Senator Has
tings continued, "can advance its
cause by surrendering its announc-
ed principles in favor of a coalition
formed for the sole purpose of en-
barrassing the political party on
which the people have placed the
responsibility" He declared that it
is safe to assume that nothing will
happen to the tariff bill which will
destroy the confidence of the Amer
ican people in President Hoover.
Senator Hastings continued:
There is not half as much excite
ment in the Senate as the news
items would indicate. There is con-
slant speculation by individual Sem
ators as to what is going to happen
to the tariff bill.
"Of course, the Republican mem
bers of the Finance Committee are
greatly disappointed to have the
coalition of Republican insurgents
and the Democrats ignore the work
the committee members did in writ
ing the bill. They are sorry to see
these Republicans put themselves IN
the position of protecting only the
farming industry. Nobody is sur
prised to find the Democrats joining
any group that tries to drag tariff
rates down. During the last cam
paign the Democratic party tried to
make the voters believe that busI-
ness had nothing to fear from
Democratic administration. In the
Senate now the Democrats are in
full control, except that the Farm
Bloc is demanding in return all the
tariff they can think of that may by
any possibility help the people of
the Northwest. They are treating
the manufacturing industries the
way the Democratic party has al
ways treated them.
"The group in control is like any
body that has suddenly
had an unexpected power given
them; they are apt to try to punish
the group from whom the power
was taken.
"And the funny thing about it all
is that the coalition pretends to be
President Hoover. They
claim that the special session was
called for the purpose of giving

SPEEDY ACTION ON TAX
CUTS NOW EXPECTED
A Majority Of Leaders In Con-
gress Favor Plan Of Secretary
Mellon.

Prompt Congressional approval OF
the Treasury's new plan of tax re-
duction was betokened this week by
an almost unanimous agreement
among party leaders that the ma
tons taxpayers should benefit as
quickly as possible from the pros
porous financial condition of the
government.
fractional spokesmen of both
Houses save only those of the Wes-
tern Independent Republicans, were
in virtual accord in sanctioning Sec
retary Melons plan of looping a
full one per cent from all normal
schedules of income taxation.
Administration supporters were
quick to speak their appreciation
and were joined by the Democratic
leaders of the House. Senate Demo-
Gratis agreed, too, but held out the
possibility of demanding an even
greater reduction than that advanc-
ed by the Treasury, conditioning
their full approval upon more def
mite information as to prospective
Federal needs and revenues than is
now available.
The Western Independents were
non-committal, although it was in
dicated that they would raise no
serious objection. Their position has
been that Treasury surpluses should
be applied to reduction of the
National debt, on the theory that
this would result in decreased Fed
eral disbursements for interest and
indirectly permit lowered taxes.
But while there was virtual uni
son upon the Mellon proposal, the
attendant Treasury suggestion that
legislation be enacted to permit the
administration to alter tax rates
under a scheme similar to the f1ex-
ible provisions of the present tariff
law, failed so far to evoke the same
degree of unstinted commendation.
The flexible tariff provisions have
been the subject of a vigorous and
protracted controversy in connection
with the pending tariff bill. Meet

BANK AT NEWPORT
CLOSED ON MONDAY
'FrOzen Assets" Cause The First
Failure Of A State Bank In
Delaware.

While depositors of the Newport
Trust Company, which failed to
open its door Monday morning, are
anxious about their immediate fin
ancial condition, no particular agi-
tation or public demonstration of
depositors followed the posting of a
notice on the doors of the banking
institution to the effect that the
bank had been placed in the hands
of H. w. Horsey, State Banking
Commissioner.
Mr.. Horsey stated, when inter-
viewed Monday evening, that condi-
tions in the bank, as far as could be
discovered in an investigation on
Monday, were quite favorable for a
satisfactory adjustment to the best
interests of the depositors and those
dealing with the bank.
$50 far as we can determine, all
assets are here, and we have every
reason to believe that conditions
are favorable for the adjustment of
the situation. 1t is too early in the
investigation to say just how much
Tie u6pOSlIOIS Will T6C6lH6 Ou Iu6
dollar deposited, but the aspects of
the situation are favorable" he
said.
J. Perkins Groome, president of
the bank, had no statement to make
other than to repeat Mr.. Horsey's
expression of confidence that the
matter would be settled favorably.
Both Mr.. Groome and Mr.. Horsey
stated emphatically that the condi-
tion of the bank was not due to
stock market conditions, but entire
ly to frozen" assets and long time
loans that had depleted the amount
of ready cash on hand in the insti-
tuition.
Mr.. Horsey made the following
statement when asked about the
banks request:
"The State Bank Commissioner
therefore took charge of the trust
company and it did not open No
vember 1S, 1929. This action is the
result of a frozen or non-liquid con-
dition of the company's assets and

OUTSIDE of the City of Wilmington
Grand Master Irwin H. Craig. of
wilmington, presided. Preceding the
opening of the Grand Lodge session
a conference with representatives of
tne subordinate lodge was held bv
tne Grand Master, for the purpose
oI discussing the Home Fund.
The visiting lodgemen were given
a hearty welcome by Major Thomas
hlrDy, who extended the freedom of
the CITY TO them. They were royalty
entertained while in Milford. The
morning session was devoted to ron
tine business. The report of the
Grand Master, of the Grand Secre-

ana approved. These reports showed
a healthy condition existing in tba
order in Delaware.
Ihe largest class of candidates
ever admitted to the Grand Lodge at
one session was introduced We'd
nesday morning. The visiting lodge
men were served a real old-fashioned
turkey dinner in the auditorium of
the Community Building by the la
d1es of the Milford Grange. This
was very enjoyable affair and mem
Ders who have attended many Grand
Lodge meetings say it was among
the best ever attended by them. Dur
ing the dinner music was furnished
by Crystal Fount Orchestra with
Prof. Arthur Hudson directing. A
vocal solo by Mrs. Fred Breme and

Mrs. William Kenton brought forth
rounds of applause. The quartette
was well received. A musical num-

a big hit.

STATE GAME LAWS
ARE VERY DRASTIC
Residents OF Other States Must Pay
License Fee Of $3.50 To Hunt

Until January it will be law
full to shoot quail and rabbits, which
enjoy the longest periods of immu-
nifty from hunters of any of our wild
game. Waterfowl have been without
immunity since October 16, the
woodcock since November /, the
season for squirrels closed month
ago, while doves may be killed until
December Is in the lower counties;
but December 1 marks the close of
the season in New Castle county.
Snipe and woodcOck are game for
the gunners until January 81, but
the ringnecked and Hungarian
pheasants are immune for two or
three years.
The State laws make it a misde
meanor to kill more than 20 ducks,
IL birds of any species, and six rab-
bits in any one day, and prohibit the
capture of wild game by explosives,
drugs or chemicals. They also make
it misdemeanor to hunt on Sun
day, at nights or when there is snow
on the ground.
To discourage the incoming of
nonresident hunters a fee of $3.50
must be paid by those living out
side the State. Maryland also exacts
$3.50 from non-residents, and for
a Delawarean to hunt in Pennsylva
mia the fee is 500. This State re-
quires every resident hunter to take
out a license costing $1.10 to shoot
in other counties than the one in
which he resides. Otherwise there is
no license required. Every hunter
holding a license must wear it on
his hunting coat for Identification by
game wardens. It is further explain

ed foreign born people living in Del

IRA S. BRINSER new
PRESIDENT OF STATE
TEACHERS GROUP
Newark Man Chosen At Annual
Meeting Here Last Thursday
Afternoon.
SOUABBLE OF MINUTES
Charge Made That DispensatiOn
Of Reading Might Conceal
"ROttenness."

After two busy days the eleventh
annual meeting of the Delaware
State Education Association ended
Friday afternoon. 1t was one of the
most interesting and instructive
sessions ever held by the associa-
ton. Ira S. Brinser, of Newark, will
lead the association as president for
the next year.
The meeting Friday morning op-
ened with singing lead by Miss Opal
Wheeler, of Tower Hill school, ac-
companied by Miss Dorothy l..
Shuster, of Milford. The invocation
was by the Rev. ]. L. Nichols.
Greetings from Wilmington were
extended by S. NJ. Stouffer, super
intAndent of the schools of that city.
Miss Grace Baird extended greetings
from the Delaware Safety Council.
Two interesting addresses were
made Friday morning. One of these
was by DIR. Edwin w. Adams, direc-
tor of teacher training in the Phil
adelphia Normal school on Conduct
and citizenship" and the other was
by ]. C. Bay, superintendent OF
schools at Easton, Pa, on "Philoso-
ply That Bakes Bread"
Friday afternoon a number OF
sectional meetings were held.
Ira S. Brinser, superintendent of
the Newark public schools, was
elected president of the association
Thursday afternoon. D. A. Petry OF
FELTON,, was elected vice president
and C. P. Helms, of Laurel, a MEM
ber of the executive committee. The
executive committee names the sec
retary and treasurer.
One of the most spirited discus
sions of the session took place
Thursday afternoon over the min
utes. -.
The trouble began when Albert
Earlev. rural supervisor for Sussex
county. objected to the motion TO
disnense with the reading of the
minutes. He declared they had not
been read for ten years and he had
heard of discrepancies in lists OF
delegates. To dispense with the
reading of the minutes, he declared
might cover a lot of rottenness.
The minutes were ordered reao
and when the reading was complete
Wilbur Jump, superintendent Of the
Caesar Rodney school of the cam
den-Wyoming district, said that as
charges of rottenness had peen
made he demanded and moved that
tbe charges be made good or re-
tracted. His motion to this eHect
was carried.
Supervisor Farley said he pre-
srnad the motion was aimed at
him. He said that he had been told
that a certain supervisor had dl-

PRESBYTERIANS HERE
ARE 80 YEARS OLD
Elaborate Preparations Are Made
For Sunday Services.

After mature preparations the To-
cal Presbyterians started the cele-
bration of the eightieth anniversary
of the organization of their church
last night, when the Anniversary
Supper was held. Among the guests
were son and grandson, both Pres
byterian ministers, Rev. Richard A..
Mallery, who was one of the early
pastors of this church. Other guests
were Hon. and Mrs. j. M. Tunnel, of
Georgetown. Friends from Dover
and other communities were present.
The Sunday morning service is the
celebration proper and is of special
interest. At that service infant bap-
tism will be administered, members
will be received, a historical sketch
will be presented and thank offer
ing will be taken for the benefit of
the musical department of the
church. Each member of the congre-
cation has been asked to bring at
least one cent for each year the
church is old.
The afternoon service at 3 o'clock
will be a community affair. DR..
Frank Herson and Rev. ]. L. Nichols
will convey the Fluctuations of their
churches. The program committee
is introducing an innovation. Instead
of securing a minister to preach a
sermon it was deemed appropriate
to invite some prominent layman,
irrespective of denomination, to
bring a message for the occasion. In
accordance with this change of ar
rangement the Hon. Josiah Marvel,
of Wilmington, will be present and
deliver the address. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that the Milford people
will be glad to hear this eminent
lawyer in a religious discourse.
Special music will feature both
services. A general invitation is
extended to all who wish to attend
both or either services.
