London, April 9-{R}-France GREAT
ed q sensation In naval conference
circle today by putting into concrete
terms for the first time her attitude
toward Italy's claim for parity.
Jacques Dumesnil. French minister
Of Marine was said in authoritive
quarters to have told A. v. Alexander,
first Lord Of the British admiralty,
that not only would France never
concede parity but that she demands
. superiority Of 10000. tons over the
Latin neighbor.
Meanwhile italy has not budged
from her oft repeated demand that
she must have parity or nothing.
Observers this afternoon were
watching closely what effect this lat.
est Krencl1-posttion would. have on
Observation-Disclosures especially since
It Il felt ia conference circles that
relations between; these two delega-
tions have heen somewhat strained.
Some wen informed persons believ-
ed 1t might easily have the effect Of
demonstrating that there was no
longer need Of striving for . five-pow.
er agreement, thus permitting the
quick signing Of aHthree power pact.
It might ct least clarifytthe situation,
they felt, even though there might
be, m adverse effect on the results Of
the conference.
From an authoritative source
comes an account Of this mornings
meeting between Dumesnil and Alex
ander, which followed last nights ex-
precision Of satisfaction by the French
at the security offered them by Bril-
tain.
Durnesnil and Alexander discussed
tho actual tonnage figures Of the
various fleets, It Is understood, with
special reference to the relations be-
tween the French and Italian fleets.

Territory Of Hawaii

Our little territory of Hawaii eX-
ported more than $61 100000 in raw
sugar in 1929, and even though the
production was larger than in 1928,
the low price of sugar decreased
the amount of money received by
Hawaiians more than $40 100000.
The growing and canning of pine
apples, Hawaii's second industry, al
so set a new high record in 1929,
the pack amounting to 9,211,376
cases. In this industry, as in sugar
production, the value was kept
down by low prices. The approx
mate value of rineapples exported
was $39,S80, 1876, a decrease of about
one million dollars as compared
with 1928.
The tourist trade, referred to as
"Hawaii's third industry" brought
to Hawaii in 1929 about ten million
dollars in new money. There were
22,190 tourists, compared to 1880
in 1928. Many of them visited the
Hawaii National Park, as also did
many Hawaii residents. The won
ders and delightful climate of Ha-
waii National Park attracted 109,-
857 visitors in 1929, an increase of
over thirty thousand over the pre-
vious year.

FIVE OLD SCHOOL
PROPERTIES ARE
SOLD FOR S676.OO

The Milford Board of Education
sold last Wednesday afternoon, at
public sale in front of the Windsor
Hotel in Milford, five old school
properties, located in several for
mer school districts now cOnsOli-
dated with the public schools of
Milford, in both Kent and Sussex
counties. The sale was made as pro-
vided by law for disposing of unus-
ed schools, after public advertise
ment of the sale. The first proper
ty sold was the site of the Shawnee
school; the building having been re-
moved for storage purposes for the
new high school. The successful
bidder was H. R. Lemex, who origi-
nally owned most of the land, for
$45.00.
Church Hill, three miles west of
Milford attracted most attention
from the prospective buyers, as the
school building and outbuildings
were in very good condition, and be-
ing located directly along the con-
crete highway leading to Harring-
LOu. II Was SIl uCh Oll " Tic ulSA-
est bid, $355.00 made by George
Hill.
Millwood seemed to be of little in
terest to the surrounding property
owners, even though located within
fifty yards of church, community
building and in a large grove of oak
trees. 1t was struck off to Harry
Greensburg at his bid of $4,000. The
building is almost worthless, but the
land is worth much more.
Cedarfield School in Sussex along
the new highway leading from Mil
ford to Greenwood, was bought by
AL. Houston, of Milford, who owns
the adjoining property, for his bid
of $161.OO.
The Benefits Gate School in Kent
county, near ThOmpsOnville, was
bought by William Mills for $500,
whose farm adjoins the school prop
erty.
The total of all sales was $4,000.
The cost of selling has to be de-
Quoted from the amount realized.

ture authorized the Governor to
commence suit in the Supreme
Court to settle the boundary be-
tween New Jersey and Delaware.
Despite the suit, it was not until
1905 that discussion by commission
ers representing both States ended
in a compace providing for concur
rent jurisdiction over the disputed
area. This compact was ratified By
the Legislature and approved by
Congress in 1907.
The total area is only % square
miles and much of it under water.
Its sole value lies in the rich oyster
beds.
A dispute between New Jersey
and Pennsylvania over islands To-
Gated in the Delaware River was
settled amicably. Both States agreed
that the islands near the New Jer-
sey shore should belong to that
State and islands near the Pennsyl-
vania side should be controlled by
that Commonwealth. No question
has arisen over the New Jersey
Pennsylvania boundary since the
agreement was reached in 1886.
The courts will decide the dispute
within the next few months. Neces-
sity that the attorney general Of
New Jersey attend a hearing at
which a dispute between Pennsylva-
mia and New Jersey was involved
has delayed final action.

TWO KENT FIRES DO
$4,000 DAMAGE
[Continued from First PageJ

Ringold and Carlisle have fixed up
temporarily living quarters in one
end of a chicken house where they
will live until a new home can be
erected.
The fire Saturday night on the
Canterbury road near Magnolia, was
in the dwelling of Solomon Baker,
who owns a farm in that section.
Mr.. Baker and his family were in
Dover whe nthe fire broke out, pre-
sumably from an Overheated airtight
wood stove in the living room of the
house.
An alarm was sent to the Robbins
Hose Company, of Dover, and near
by rural companies also responded
but when they reached the scene
the house was a mass of flames and
all efforts to extinguish the fire
were futile and it was burned to the
ground with a loss of more than
$4,000. 1t was partially covered by
insurance.
When the fire broke out Mr. Bak-
er was in a chair in a barber shop
and without waiting to permit the
barber to finish, he leaped from the
chair and hurried to his home, but
was unable to do anything. The
house was a large structure and
contained fourteen rooms.
