Louis Weiss, a retired merchant,
drowned his 16-year-old defective son,
Francis, in a bathtub today and then
committed suicide by shooting himself.
Weiss had suffered financial reverses
lately. members Of the family said, and
dependency over the condition Of his
son preyed on his mind. His wife went
shopping this morning. She returned
to find both father and son dead.
Odicers, reconstructing the tragedy,
said Weiss apparently filled the bath
tub after his wife left the house, seized
the youth and held him under the
water.
Neighbors heard the boy scream, but
thought nothing Of it until they heard
q pistol shot. Mrs. Weiss screams on
her return brought aid.
The boy had suffered with paralysis

Elimination of trade obstacles and

U. S. MISSIONARY ELECTED
Action of Indian Government Is
Unexplained.

BOSTON, June 81 LP).-The election
from India of an American missionary,
Rev. Ralph Keithahn of Paramount,
MINI, was disclosed today by the Amer
lean Board of Commissioners for For
eign Missions here. The board said
1t had received only a brief cable
gram from Keithahn saying the Indian
government had asked him to leave the
country. No reason for the action of
the government was gicen, but the board
expressed q high opinion of Rev. Mr..
Kejthahn's character and agreed that
the inference seemed to be he had been
forced to leave because of his political
sympathies.
Rev. Mr.. Keithahn was stationed at
Pasumalai, Madura Mission, and has
been principal Of the high school there.
He was appointed a missionary by the
board in 1925 after he had won degrees
from Carleton College, Northfield,

EGG REPORT FOR APRIL
Report Containing the Average
Monthly Egg Production Sent Out

The sixty-seven poultry raisers
in Kent county who are members
of the Delaware Farm Egg Record
Club have received recently from
the office of County Agent Russell
E. Wilson copies of the April re-
port which contains the average
monthly egg production from 67,-
TAT birds representing 1872 farms
throughout the state, as tabulated
by H. S. Palmer, Extension Poul-
tryman of the University of Della
ware, under whose direction this
project is being conducted in each
of the three counties in coopera-
ton with the agricultural agents.
OF these 67,747 birds, the 25,772
pullets produced III eggs each,
the 1886 hens averaged 15.6
eggs, and the 26,159 pullets and
hens in the mixed focks laid 1877
eggs per bird during the month of
April. The production for April,
1929, was ia eggs per pullet, 16.4
for hens, and 16.9 Cor the mixed
fiocks, which compares very favor
ably with the records for April of
this year. In addition to the
monthly summary of these egg
records from 1872 farms, this re
port also includes some sugges-
tions in regard to those practices
which are important factors in the
growing of healthy chickens, such
as strong vitality, proper methods
of feeding, and comfortable hous-
ing conditions. In order to pro-
duce a strong baby chick the par
ent stock must be mature, vigor-
Gus and free from disease, and the
incubation process must be carried
en- under correct temperature and
moisture conditions with plenty of
ventilation. The right kind, quail

HASTINGS AIDS FISHERMEN
To Confine Patroiing of Delaware
Waters Without Interfering

Interference by the United
States Coast Guard in unduly in
terfering with fishermen in the
Delaware River and Bay, will be
called to the attention of Rear
Admiral Frederick 9. Billiard, it
was learned last week after Sen
ator Hastings had heard of the
complaints of Charles Hall and
Allen Beck of Delaware City.
Senator Hastings said that from
the information he has received he
considers that Delaware fishermen
are justified in the position they
have taken, and that he would
leave nothing undone to confine
the duties of the Delaware unit of
the Coast Guard to their legiti-
mate and reasonable duties. Sen
ator Hastings explained that be-
fore he decided on definite
course he would confer with Ad
miral Billiard, commandant of the
Coast Guard. If the matter has
been reported to Coast Guard
Hastings will seek to have instruc-
tions issued to confine patroling of
Delaware waters so as not to in
terfere with fishermen whose ac-
tivities are not in violation of the
customs laws.

FOR FOREST FIRE
William Richardson of Hartly, for
Setting Fire to Woods, Was Fined

William Richardson of Hartly, for
Setting Fire to Woods, Was Fined
William Richardson, a negro OF
Hartly. was arrested by Officer
Conrad of the State Highway Po-
Ice, Dover Station, shortly after a
brush fire started by him got be-
yond his control and burned over
about 100 acres of adjoining wood
land property. At trial held in
a local Magistrates office in Do
yer, Richardson was convicted and
sentenced to pay a fine of $500
and cost. Under the present law,
a person convicted of this offence
is also liable to suit for damages
resulting from the fire allowed to
escape. Commenting on the ar
rest and conviction, State Forester
w. S. Taber said: Il am pleased
with the efficiency demonstrated
by the State Highway police in
apprehending this man and bring
ing him to justice. / regret. how
ever, that the offender in this case
received so light sentence. A
man who violates a traffic regula-
tion is often fined many times as
much altho, in most cases his vio-
lation has destroyed no ones prop
erty or caused trouble to no one
but himself. Yet, here is a man
who sets fire to his own brush
land and permits it to escape to
the property of another where it
does hundreds of dollars damage
to sty nothing of the homes and
property endangered by his care
lessness. The expense incurred by
the Camden-Wyoming and Dover
Hose Companies, who were called
to extinguish the fire and guard
the endangered homes, is alone an
item of expense that should be
born by the convicted. Too, the
penalty hardly pays for the inves-
tigative work done by the police
to obtain sufficient evidence for
conviction. This is by no means
the first time that forest fire has
been caused by careless burning of
brush or grass fields. The three
worst fires in Sussex County this
year started in the same manner.
Carelessness is the cause of 90 per
cent of all forest fire in Delaware
and it is inconceivable that our
State or any other State for that
matter, should continue to ignore
even to the slightest degree the
