The total amount of taxes col

States in the fiscal year ended in
1928 amounted to $9,289, 900, 900,
as against $9,059, 100000 in the
preceding year, according to a
study just completed by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
New York. The per capita state

was $46.36. The increase in total
tax receipts over the preceding
year was due entirely to rising
state and local taxes, federal tax
collections for 1928 having been
lower than for either 1927 or 1925.
State governments for the fiscal
year 1928 collected a total of ST.

While the proposal has just been
received it is being placed before
officials of the Del-Mar-Va Shore
Association in the three states
represented so that if opinion indi-
Gates acceptance immediate steps
may be taken toward arranging
for the celebration. Major Bayer
has stated that dedication of this
airport to the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula would demand no future OBJ
legation from Peninsula residents
but would mean much to the Pen
insula because of the field becom-
ing nationally recognized as the

PROBABILITY OF AN AIRPORT
DEDICATED To DEL-MAR-VA
PROPOSAL TO NAME HEBRON
FIELD FOR PENINSULA MADE
Dedication Day Suggested, Includ-
ing AeronauticaI Events and As
sembling of Governors

An offer to formally dedicate
the Del-Mar-Va Airport located at
Hebron, Md, to the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula, so that it will become
officially recognized as ''The Del
Mar-Va Airport" was received
from Major Charles S. Bayer, Jr.,
President of Starlighters, Inc, and
Del-Mar-Va Flying School, Inc,
owners of the port, at headquart-
ers of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association last week This
offer bears special significance be-
cause the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, according to a recent article
in the Literary Digest, is receiving
serious consideration by the q. S.
Navy Department in establishing
an Atlantic Coast Giant Dirigible
Base and there are also indications
that it is being considered as an
Army or Navy Reserve field.
Major Bayer, in making the offer
to the Peninsula, states that the
Z. S. Government through its
aeronautical officials has stated
that the location of the Del-Mar-
Va Airport is one of the finest in
America considered either from
the dirigible or airplane point of
view. He further states that the
Goodyear-Zeppelin Co., of Akron,
Ohio, have given this port their in
dorsement as one of the most suit
able for a dirigible base on the At
lantic Coast. This is based on the
exertmely level and open terrain
within a radius of fifty miles
which makes the field easily ap-
proachable and landings unusually
safe. 1t is four way field of 235
acres. Regarding the dedication
of the airport to the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula it is tentatively propos-
ed that day be set aside for the
program. This would include as
semblying of the Governors of
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia,
with their respective staffs, at the
airport, and a formal dedication.
This would be followed by inspec-
tion of the airport with an elabor-
ate schedule of aeronautical events
in which representatives from the
leading airports and from Govern
ment departments would partici-
pate. The affair would be open to
the public without charge and
would very probably conclude with
banquet to the Governors, their
staffs and invited guests, to be fol

SO BUSINESS FAILURES, 1929
II. 6. Dun & Co., Submits Annual
Business Report for Past Year

According to the annual report
of the Wilmington Office of r. G..
Dun and Company, mercantile
agency, there were no failures re-
ported last year among manufac-
turers on the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula. Business failures on the pen
insula during 1929 numbered So
with liabilities of $514, ,843 COM
pared with 55 failures with liabil-
tiles of S815,291 during 1929. L.
t. Riggin, manager, said the num-
ber of failures last year ranks well
with the lowest number for any
year since 1889 when the local Of
fee was opened. The report stat
es that business conditions on the
Peninsula during the past year
have been favorable labor has been
well employed and the 1880 out
look is encouraging" The abnor-
mi weather prevailing since Janu-
ary / has slowed up retail sales in
seasonable merchandise, and the
stir attendant on after Christmas
sales has not been much in evil
dence. Inventories are generally
low, merchants being loath to
change their policy of buying for
immediate needs only. Collections
are predominantly slow although
holding up well in some lines of
trade.

EMERY PLEADS GUILTY
GalvanO Faces Death on GalloWs
For Murder of Arthur C. Cline

Death on the gallows is the pen
atty that must be paid by Louis
Galvano, 20, of Brooklyn, a form
er soldier in Company E. First En-
gineers, Fort DUPONT, for shooting
and killing Arthur C. Cline, who
was soldier in the same company
for the sake of a small sum of
money that Cline had with him
when he left the fort for a visit
to his home in Amsterdam, N. Y,
last Christmas eve. Alonzo En-
cry, 27 years old, of Huntsville,
Tenn, private in E. Company,
First Engineer Regiment, Fort du-
Pont, acquitted Wednesday night
of first-degree murder charge on
which he had ben tried with Louis
Galvano, 21 years old, of Brooklyn
N. Y, in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer, for the fatal shooting of
Private Arthur C. Cline, also a
member of their company, pleaded
guilty Friday morning to charge
of being an accessory after the
fact in the murder of Cline In
Court Room, No. 2, before Judge
Herbert L. Rice, Emery appeared
to have lost the nervousness which
he displayed while on trial for the
murder Of Cline. After he plead
ed guilty Judge Rice stated that
he would be sentenced Wednesday
morning when Chief Justice James
Pennewill will be present. The
slim soldier displayed no emotion.
Emery had been informed by his
counsel, John ]. Morris, Jr., and
G. Edward Duffy that the max
imum penalty for the offense is
three years Imprisonment a fine
of $1,000 and costs or both. The
information charging Emery with
being an accessory after the fact
was filed in court by Attorney
General SatterthWaite. Emery was
arraigned and entered a plea of
guilty and was then taken from
the room and back to the work
Z
only a few minutes. At the work
house, Galvano has shown no
change in his attitude, but is still
cool and unaffected A motion for
new trial for Galvano, however,
stands in the way of the courts
pronouncing the death penalty on
the Brooklyn youth and fixing the
day for the execution. James r.
Forford, counsel for Galvano by
assignment of the court, made the
motion Immediately after the jury
returned with its verdict. Mr..
Morford said he would file reasons
and argu for new trial. The
jury deliberated three hours and
fifty-one seconds. 1t was given
the case at 4.40 o'clock in the af-
ternoon and returned at 8.51
o'clock The court room was
crowded with spectators when the
jury brought in its verdict, but
Galvano's mother, Mrs. Jennie
Galvano; his sister, Mary, 16, and
his uncle, Philip Galvano, all three
of whom had attended every other
session of the three-day trial, were
rot present. Galvano did not finch
when the jury announced the YER
dict that calls for the death pen
atty. He continued to look straight
ahead, never twitching muscle of
his face or showing any emotion.
It was the same cold, unchanging
stare that marked his demeanor
throughout the long trial. There
was no hint in his actions of any
breaking down" at the thought of
being hanged. AS Mr.. Morford
shook hands with Galvano after
the verdict had ben returned, Gal
vano showed the least tract of
emotion as he said That's all
right, that's all right"

LAW ENFORCEMENT
 ID CHANCE HANDS
Vacancies Exist in Many Federal
 Prohibition Posts

Washington Dec. IS UP)-Law enforcement in many of the nations larger centcrs will shortly pass into new hands so far as the federal forces are concerned, the justice de- partmcnt revealed yesterday.
 Vacancies exist in , Of the Unit ed States district attorneyships throughout the country, l2 new fed eral judges are soon 10 be appointed, and there are 70 posts to be 1ilIcI soon among United States marshals.
 Among the important L. s. dis trict attorney offices now or soon 10 be vacant are those in New York, l hiladclphia, Baltimore, Detroit and Boston. In Baltimore, a successor must be named to Col. Amos W. W. Woodcock, who on last July 1 be- came director of the federal prohi- bition forces.
 Attorney General Mitchell said he was sCrutiniZing the records of all applicants with extreme care and also that as much attention is be- ing paid 10 reappointment as new appointment, He said there was no shortage of candidates for the positions available.
 Reitcrating his stand that federal office holders must observe prohibit ton, Mitchell said he wanted neither fanatics nor zcalOts, nor men op- posed to the 18th amendment in rc- sponsible law enforcement posts. Ii is his view that men to effectively enforce the prohibition law must be neither arch drys, not bitter oppo- ncnts. Personal observance Of the law is required ot all thosc engaged in federal law enforcement actiyi- ties, he added.
