WHEAT ACREAGE REDUCED
Fall Planting in Delaware Shows
a Falling Off of Ten Percent

Farmers in Delaware planted
about $4,000 acres of wheat last
fall, compared with an estimate of
10000 acres sown in 1929, de-
crease of about 10 per cent, ac-
cording to Richard C. Ross, statis-
tician for Maryland and Delaware,
attached to the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. Planting of Win
ter rye are about 20 per cent
greater this fall than last. Della
ware farmers planted 5000 acres
this Fall and 1000 in the fall Of
1920 The long continued drought
in Delaware last Summer is large
ly responsible for the decreased
planting of wheat. The soil was so
dry at planting time that many
farmers hesitated to sow. The
condition of the Delaware wheat
crop, December 1, was S5 per cent
of normal, compared with 96 per
cent last year and SO per cent the
10-year average.

DELAWARE LEGISLATURE TO
MEET IN SESSION TUESDAY
BIENNIAL SESSION AT DOVER
PROMISES TO BE BUSY ONE
Senate and House Will Caucus
Monday Night-MOve to Abol-
ish the Customary Recess

The new Delaware Legislature
will meet at the State Capital, Do
yer, next meeting in Biennial ses-
sion and there promises to be a
busy and interesting session. Some
Republican leaders in the State are
urging that when the new Legis-
lature organizes that the members
continue in session and get down
to business instead of taking a va
cation for week to allow the pres
ident pro tenn of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House to ap-
point their committees. Whether
this plan will be followed will not
be known until the bodies meet on
Tuesday. 1t is also said that an
effort will be made to keep the
number of officers of the two bod
les smaller than at the last session
for the purpose of saving as much
money as possible for the State.
Whether this will be done also re-
mains to be seen. Under the law,
it is claimed, each branch may
pass bills for its own expenses and
the Governor has no power 70
check it. There was trouble over
mileage for the members four
years ago but this occurred be-
cause the matter was taken care
of in a joint resolution instead of
each body passing a resolution Of
its own and this gave the Cover
nor an opportunity to use his veto
power. Members of the Legisla-
ture of both parties will caucus for
officers on Monday night in Dover,
previous to the session on Tuesday.
On account of both Houses being
Republican, the action of the Dem
ocrats will be a mere formality.
William A. Simonton, who was
president pro tenn of the last Sen
ate and is a member of the incom-
ing body, appeared to be slated for
the same position again. In the
House there is a lively contest be
tween Representative William E.
Virden, of Wilmington, and Repre-
sentative Bud Coy, Of Georgetown

KILLED BY CAR AT GLASGOW
John E. Lewis, 68 Years Old, Vic
tim of Unknown Driver Sunday

Cecil County and Maryland State
Police are searching for a driver
who Sunday night struck and kill
ed John Lewis, 68 years old, on the
Glasgow road, not far from Del
aware line. The motorist, who
drove a small coupe bearing a
MARYLAND license for 1881, took
the man whom his car struck to
the Union Hospital, in Elkton, Nd,
reported the case to the sheriff
without giving name, and then
disappeared. Lewis, who was pro
nounced dead at the hospital, was
a farmer living near Red Hill, in
company with his son John, had
been over in Delaware and was re-
turning home. For some reason
the father got out of the Jaeger
wagon in which they were riding
and walked back of it for a short
distance. While he was walking
the motorist ran into him, knock
ing him for some distance, and
smashed the wagon. The boy and
the horse attached TO the wagon
were uninjured.

DENNY SLATED FOR OFFICE
Former Governor Will Probably be
Assistant Secretary of State
if Legislature Gives Consent

Anticipating favorable action by
the 1881 General Assembly on his
request for the passage of a bill
creating the office of assistant sec
retary of state, Governor C.Doug-
lass Buck Saturday announced
that he had asked former Cover
nor William D. Denney to serve in
that capacity during the coming
session. Mr.. Denney has agreed
to accept if the action of the Leg
islature is favorable. The move
was made by Governor Buck be-
cause of the illness of Secretary of
State Charles H. Grantland at his
home in Wilmington. Mr.. Grant
land, who was the victim of a
nervous breakdown last October,
is now much improved, but his
physicians advise against taking
up the rigorous duties of his Office
for some time. Once before under
the present Constitution of Della
ware it became necessary to Gre
dlt luG OluCt VI <1SSISIdAI ocSIC-
tary of State. That was in 1927,
following the disappearance of
then Secretary Of State William
G. Taylor while on yachting trip
south. A motor cruising yacht on
which Mr.. Taylor and Edward M.
Pusey, both of Wilmington, were
going to Florida, was lost some
where off the South Carolina coast
and no trace was found of the two
Wilmingtonians. Mr.. Grantland,
the present Secretary of State,
was appointed by then Governor
Robert P. Robinson as Acting Sec
retary of State until the Legisla-
ture convened, when it created the
office of Assistant Secretary of
State, which Office, however, was
to expire the third Tuesday in
January, 1929. 1t is possible that
the Legislature in its enactment
may provide for an office of As
sistant Secretary in emergencies
that may arise in the future, when
in the opinion of the Governor the
Secretary of State is incapacitated
from serving or must leave the
State for an extended period.

safety. The church was destroyed
with a loss estimated at $4,000 on
the church building and several
thousands more in damage to the
pipe organ and the furnishings.
The loss was partly covered by in
surance. Crisfield firemen believe
that the total loss will be close 10
$4,000. An alarm was sent to
Crisfield and the firemen respond
ed with three engines, but because
of a lack of water only the boost
er" engine which carries small
quantity of water could be used.
The firemen, seeing that the
church was doomed, confined their
efforts to saving the parsonage
and several houses in the neigh
borhood. The fire was on the sec
ond floor of the church where the
main auditorium was located. 1t
is believed to have been caused by
a defective fiue. The church was
pretty structure with two tow
ers. Both towers and the front
walls of the church caved in.

JEALOUS LOVER At DANCE
KILLS GIRL AND HIS RIVAL
MISS LONG AND ERNEST Kill
LEN SHOT BY NOAH DOWNS
Downs Admits Double Killing and
Gives Himself Up to Police
Without Attempting Escape

Jealousy over the affections of
a 15-year-old girl led to the death
late Saturday night of Mildred
Long and Ernest Killen, 35, and
the arrest of the alleged slaper,
Noah Downs, % years old, who,
the police declare, admitted firing
the shots that ended the love tri-
angle. The shooting occurred at a
dance in the home of Clarence AL
len, near Chapeltown, near Dover.
A coroner's jury found that Mil
dred Long and Ernest Killen came
to their deaths from bullet wounds
fired from a revolver in the hands
of Noah Downs and ordered him
held without bail for the action of
the grand jury. According to
some of those at the dance, the
three persons were members of a
party of approximately so persons
who were attending the affair.
While Miss Long and Killen were
about to take part in the old-fash-
ioned Paul JONES'" and the signal,
take your partners" was given,
Killen is alleged to have said 1
have her right hand so 1 guess [
get the dance" Downs is said to
have replied, Il have her left
hand and the left is nearest the
heart" The girl is said to have
! turned to Killen and started to
dance and Downs thrust them
apart and demanded the dance.
The girl is said to have again
turned to Killen and as they start
ed to dance, Downs drew a revolv-
er and fired at the girl and as she
fell turned the weapon on Killen
and fired. Killen also fell dead.
Downs is said to have remarked:
'I gave her a chance, she could
have lived, both of them, for the
sake of a dance" The shooting
caused a panic and the occupants
of the room fed, leaving Downs
standing in the middle of the floor.
Clarence Allen, tenant of the
house, was in another room when
the shooting took place and when
he learned what had occurred he
summoned Privates Moore and
Turner of the State Highway Po-
lice who placed Downs under ar
rest. He had made no attempt to
i escape. State Highway Police
man Turner, and Moore, who were
the first officers to reach the scene,
testified to finding the bodies and
placing Downs under arrest. They
said he admitted doing the shoot
ing but would make no statement.
They learned that Joseph Downs
had taken a weapon from his
brother and Sunday morning they
went to his home and he led them
to the place where he had hurled
the revolver over a chicken house.
A short search resulted in the re-
covery of the weapon. Following
the taking of the testimony Downs
was returned to the Dover jail
where he will be held until his case
goes before the grand jury. Downs
is a son of Mrs. jeremiah Downs
of 'Sandtown. Killen was well
known in Kent County and lived
at Petersburg. Miss Longs moth
er is married a second time to q
man named Neff and she lived only
a short distance from Petersburg
