he was here.
In view of the fact that VIM.
Hass is understood to be vitality
interested in the case, especially
the way it is tried, and tho it is
understood that he is not so con-
cerned with the fate of Wanda, he
Is very much interested in the evil
dence that may be submitted to the
jury in her defense and what may
grow out of it, the employment of
his personal attorney as her chief
counsel, has created a furore, and
is, it seems, to say the least, a
very suspicious circumstance. This
suspicion is aggravated by the at
tention which the Onstads have
been showering upon Miss Hass.
The whole thing looks to the pub
lie like a "cathah" of some kind.
The thing that has caused the
most conversation over the coun-
ty is the way Onstad has cuckooed
himself into the case. Lawyers
say that the spectacle is one of
the most brazenly unethical de-
monstration that has ever come to
their attention.
Attorney Babcock said that he
had been definitely hired by Miss
Hass, that he had appeared for
her upon several occasions, that
she had not dismissed him, nor
made any complaint of til e
way he had handled her case, and
that the whole matter was be-
yond his comprehension, especial
ly as Miss Hass had assured him
that his services were satisfactory,
and that she had not employed
any other attorney. She does
state, however, that Mr.. Stat
tery's employment is entirely sat
isfactory to her.
VIM. Hass is a very rich man,
and it is said that he is doing ev-
erything possible to in some way
suppress Wanda's story.
1t is anticipated that great num-
bers will attend the trial. Wheth-
er the case will be tried at the
court house where the court room
is very small, or whether it will
be tried at the Farmer-Labor Tenn
pie where the public can be &C
commodated, has not yet been de-
termined. The public hopes the

in a bullying tone: will you ac-

NO." replied the miner.
The miner then went to Helena
and told his story to a lawyer. The
lawyer sent him to an eye specialist,
who made a written report to the
lawyer. stating that the sight of
one eye was completely destroyed,
md that it was impossible for the
sight ever to be restored.
The lawyer then sent a demand
to the mining company for a set

claim agent sent back a check for
$1,000, settlement in full-this be-
ing the full amount that the young
miner was entitled to under the
Compensation law for the loss of
one eye. Had the claim agent been
able to bully the miner into settling
the claim for $3.50, the corporation
would have been ahead S1,140, and

MORE ALFALFA
FOR KENT COUNTY
Kent County Survey Shows That
Acreage Has Increased

AS there is usually shortage of
hay in this section of the country,
and since this situation is especially
pronounced this year because of the
unfavorable weather conditions, pre-
sent indications point toward an in
creased demand for this crop dur
ing the next several years, so those
farmers who have fields that are suit
able for growing alfalfa should plan
to SOW a few acres this summer, as
this particular legume provides one
of the best and most satisfactory
kinds of hay that can be grown in
this State.
The fact that alfalfa is proving
it's value as hay crop for dairy cat
tie and other livestock on our Della
ware farms is being demonstrated
each year by the increase in acreage
as a result of the alfalfa campaign
which was started three years ago
under the direction of the agricul-
tural extension department of the
University of Delaware. This addi-
tional acreage has been accompanied
by numerous inquiries which farm
ers have made at the county agent
offices concerning the time of seed

MUCH INTEREST IN
STATE ELECTIONS
Heated Legislative Fight
Is Seen For Next Session
On Klair Law Repeal
SOME WANT BOXING
Many Delawareans Desire
Opportunity To See Pom
les Run In This State
SOME WANT BOXING

The election of legislative candi-
dates next November is already be-
ing looked forward to with interest
because of the important bills which
will be presented to the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly for
the solons' consideration.
One of the most heated legislative
fights promises to center around ef-
forts to repeal the Klair law, Della
wares State enforcement act. At
tempts to gain this legislation at
previous sessions of the legislature
have failed, and now "wets" of the
State are determined to take the
drastic prohibition enforcement act
off the statute books.
A recent referendum conducted by
Pierre S. du Pont indicated a great
trend favorable to the repeal of the
law. 1t is said that candidates, fav-
orable to the repeal of the Klair
law, will be supported by "wet"
groups, regardless of party afilia-
tion.
The usual raid on the State treas
ury chest is expected to be made by
the various departments and insti-
tutions of Delaware. A large balance
is expected to be reported in the
general fund, with the result that
increased appropriations will be
sought. It will be the duty of the
legislators to pare off these requests
to as low figure as possible.
1t is anticipated that some steps
will be taken in an effort to legalize
horse racing and boxing in the
State.
While the entire group of 35 men,
bers of the House of Representative
will be elected this year there will
also be ten of the II members of
the Senate chosen.
OF the seven holdover members,
the Republicans have five in the
Senate while the Democrats have
but two. OF the number of berths in
the Senate to be filled at the cleo
tion, four have been filled by Repub-
licans while the remaining six
places were held by Democrats.
If the Democrats are to have con-
troll of the Senate they must elect
their candidate in all of the districts
now held by them and also one more
from the districts now filled by

BOY BROWNS In POND
disappears Following Dive As Bath
ers Near Shore Look On

Though a number of bathers were
in sight, Amos Bradley, 16-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil Bradley,
living on a farm between Farming
ton and Williamsburg, was drowned
in Blair's millpound, four miles
southwest of Milford, Thursday af-
ternoon of last week.
Bradley, with Thomas Butler.
about his own age, had gone to the
millpond to swim and both boys were
in a boat near the centre. Bradley
dived from the boat number of
times into about seven feet of water.
Finally he dived and did not come
up. Butler attempted to locate him
but was unable to do so.
Seeing a number of people bathing
at the edge of the pond, Butler
sought aid but the bathers were un-
able to swim and were afraid to
search for the missing boy. Butler
then summoned Oscar Blair. the
owner of the place. Blair started on
a run to the pond and on the way
called George Brown, colored, to aid
him.
Brown located the body and man
aged 10 get it into the boat. It was
taken ashore and efforts made to re-
vive the boy. DR.. o. V. James, of
was also summoned, but the
boy was dead when he arrived.

Federal Agent, COnStables
In All Night Vigil, Get
10000 Bottles Of Liquor
3O-FOOT SPEED BOAT,
TWO AUTOS NABBED
Deserted Cannery Pier Is
Scene Of Costly Haul;
Attack Constable

Ten men were arrested and about
10000 bottles of imported whiskey
and wines were seized, as were 30
foot speed boat and two automobiles
by one Federal agent and a force of
constables .at. Flemming's Landing,
near Smyrna, early last Thursday.
The bootleg value of the seized bev-
erages is estimated at $4,000.
Acting on a tip, the lone Federal
agent, and two constables waited all
night for the rum runners. Just as
dawn was breaking over a deserted
cannery in Smyrna, which was to
serve as a landing place, the vigil
proved successful. Additional help
was summoned and the raid was on.
AS the "Don," the rum laden speed
boat, was being warped into the can
merry pier, in the Smyrna River, the
officers, with drawn guns, swooped
down upon more than a score of men
who comprised her crew and others
who had been in hiding nearby. All
but ten of the men escaped.
The ten who were captured were
taken to the Dover Jail where they
were held pending a hearing in Will
mington. When arraigned before
Commissioner Polk on Friday all of
the men were held under heavy bond
for court.
The prisoners, all of whom gave
New York and Baltimore addresses,
sullenly refused to discuss the cost
ly cargo with which the Don" was
laden. Neither would they reveal the
source of the shipment, to whom It
was being consigned, nor its own
ers. Flemming's Landing is on the
New Castle-Kent boundary. The ac-
tual seizure took place in New Cas-
tie county.
When the arrests were being made
one of the raiders, Constable Lee R.
Cochran, was attacked by a member
of the "Don's" crew. The prisoner
was effectively subdued.

serted cannery and a nearby farm

GEORGETOWN MAY LOSE
NEW POSTOFFICE
Justice Department Claims Award
For POStOffice Ground Excessive

Last Friday morning motion was
filed by U. S. District Attorney Leon
ard q. Wales, in Federal Court at
Wilmington, asking for the discon-
tinuance of the condemnation pro-
ceedings. on the land for the pro-
posed Georgetown postoffifice. The
motion was filed before Judge ]. P.
Nields and was granted. The reasons
given for filling the motion, accord
ing to the instructions from the De-
partment of Justice, where the mo-
tion was prepared, were that the
damages awarded in the decree
were excessive"
The case was tried in Wilmington,
June 26, and the jury, after hearing
the testimony before Judge Hugh M.
Morris, returned a total verdict of
$29,S00 for four lots on the George
town Square which had been selected
as the site. The awards for the four
lots selected were as follows: Har-
ley ]. Conway, $4,000; Mary " Gull
len, $10,400, and Charles w. Cullen,
$3,400.
The filing of this motion means, it
is stated, that there will be no new
postoffifice for Georgetown in the
near future, unless possibly the land,
or similarly located land, may be Sc
cured at cheaper price. The origi-
nal petition filed May II, 1870, which
states that total cost of $4,000
should be appropriated for the new
building and the site, and that this
should include $4,000 for the site.

RUSS IS GRANTED

Condemned Man Hopes To
Prove Innocence Follow

WOrkmen Began To Tear
Down ScaffOld After Mes
sage Was Received

Theodore Russ, cOlored, convicted
of a criminal assault on Mrs. Mary
Reed, white, of near Woodside, was
not hanged last Friday. In response
to the petition of number of prom
inent colored citizens of Wilmington
Governor C. Douglass Buck granted
the condemned man a reprieve of
four weeks, in order that additional
evidence may be gathered which
may prove the man innocent.
The gallows which were erected in
the yard at the Workhouse for the
execution were taken down after the
reprieve was granted late Thursday
afternoon. The stay of execution is
until August %. Russ was informed
of the decision of the Governor by
Warden Elmer Leach as soon as he
received the news, and for the first
time showed a genuine interest in
the affair.
When he learned of the reprieve,
the negro smiled and said, 81 am
thankful to the Governor. I hope
that in time I will be able to prove
that I am innocent" Since his ar.
rest, he has claimed that he is in
nocent, and that he is a victim of
circumstances.
Governor Buck did not announce
his decision until he was ready to
leave his office for the day, to attend
the Governors Day celebration at
Camp Rodney. The statement of the
Governor was brief. 1t read:
BASED upon reliable information
given me today, wherein it is be-
lieved that evidence can be found to
absolve Theodore Russ from the
crime on which he stands convicted,
1 am granting the prisoner a four
weeks reprieve in order that no
doubt can ever be attached to the
justice of the extreme penalty the
State exacts in such a case. The
reprieve will be until August 22."

MARVEL WILL NOT QUIT
SENATORSHIP RACE
Friends Insist He Is In The Race
Until Finish

Rumors being spread in certain
sections of the State that Josiah
Marvel, Democratic National Com
mitteeman, will not be candidate
for the Democratic nomination of
United States Senator, were said to
be without any foundation whatever,
in Mr.. Marvels office.
Mr.. Marvel is out of the city this
week and early efforts to reach him
were unsuccessful. His friends,
however, were vigorous in their de-
nial of the report, claiming that "he
will be in the fight to the finish, :"
and that reports of his withdrawal
were nothing less than ridiculous,
and could have emanated from one
source only.
1t has been impossible to learn the
source of the report, which, it is
said, has been in circulation in GER
tain sections of the State for almost
a week.
Some of Mr.. Marvel's friends, in
commenting on the rumor, declared
that the report was too ridiculous to
deny. They say he will remain in
the contest, regardless of any oppo-
at the Democratic State con-
vention, which will be held in Dover
probably on Tuesday, September 16.
The only opposition looming to Mr..
nomination at this time is
from the camp of former United
States Senator Thomas F. Bayard.
Petitions are being circulated to
urge him to be candidate.
