Gull Crosses Atlantic

A black-headed gull from Europe
has been found among the native
gulls Of Newburyport, near Boston.
1t is the first of it's species ever re-
corded in North America, and the
only explanation for its appearance
there is that it must have flown
across the Atlantic. The suggestion
has been advanced that the gull was
driven out to sea by a gale, and
then, being unable to return to land,
flew right across the ocean. 1t has
now been captured and placed on ex-
hibition at the Museum of Natural
History in Boston.

Three Automobile Trucks Seized
In addition to the seizure of the
boat and its cargo, it was also
stated that three automobiles were
seized. 1t was pointed out that
the Federal agents had no right to
seize these machines because no
liquor was found in them. Mr..
Green, attorney for the men, it
was stated, will take the proper
legal steps to have the cars re-
leased and given back to their
owners. According to Constable

him $4,000 spot cash and a new

ELECTION TALK IN STATE

The election of legislative candi-

being looked forward to with in
terest because of the important
bills which will be presented to the
next session of the General AS
sembly for the solons' considera-
tion. One of the most heated leg
islative fights promises to center
around efforts to repeal the Klair
law, Delaware's State enforcement
act. Attempts to gain this legis-
lation at previous sessions of the
Legislature have failed, and now
"wets" of the State are determin-
ed to take the drastic prohibition
enforcement act off the statute
books. A recent referendum con-
Quoted by Pierre S. DUPONT indi-
Gated a great trend favorable to
the repeal of the law. 1t is said
that candidates, favorable to the
repeal of the Klair law, will be
supported by wet" groups, re-
gardless of party affiliation. The
usual raid on the State treasury
chest is expected to be made by
the various departments and insti-
tutions of Delaware. A large bal
ance is expected to be reported in
the general fund, with the result
that increased appropriations will
be sought. 1t will be the duty of
the legislators to pare off these re-
quests to as low a figure as possi-

Art gets well for a fight. I'll fight
him myself"
