Earl n. Nelson A Suicide;
Was Former Express Agent
Probably brooding over the sue
cess of a new business venture that
was to have been started yesterday
and coupled with the fact that he
was unable to throw off the liquor
habit, Earl NJ Nelson, age about As
years, committed suicide at his home
On Commerce street, Tuesday morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock. 1t was
great shock to the community when
his death was announced because
Mr.. Nelson is connected with one of
the Oldest and finest families in the
town. He is a brother-in-law of
Magistrate w. H. Cahall.
It is a known fact that at times
Mr.. Nelson grew very respondent,
but according to reports car load
Of gas ranges were at the station
consigned to the deceased. He and
a representative of the company
were to open a store. 1t was said
that Mr.. Nelson started about "a
week ago to get under the influence
of liquor but in an attempt to get
back on his feet had not touched
anything for the past two days
though he was very nervous. IN
the early years of his life he served
for a number of years as local agent
for the Adams Express Company.
Then he later became Railroad
Agent at Preston, Md, and held that
position for several more years. He
only recently resigned and moved
to Harrington, since the death of his
wife's parents, to take charge of
property of which she was the only
heir. Since falling heir to the
property of her parents and grand
father, Mrs. Nelson was considered
well to do. Mr.. Nelson retired to
the playroom of his children, seat
ing himself in chair, he placed
12 guage shotgun on the floor with
the muzzle beneath his chin. The
charge tore away the right side of
his face. The report of the gun at
tracted his wife, who was on the
first floor. She hurried up stairs
and then summoned a local physi-

Elijah Townsend Dies
From Drowning
The waters of Killen's Lake, about
miles southeast of FELTON,, claim
ed another victim late Sunday af-
ternoon. The accident occurred be-
tween 5 and o'clock. Killen's Lake
is a popular bathing and fishing
place for many people of Kent
county and usually on Sunday after
noon there are many people there.
Benjamin Rash, William Shockley,
Franklin Lewis, Paul Grant and
Nelson Grant, white boys from Har-
rington, composed one party that
went to the lake for a swim. One
of their number owns small ten
foot row boat. During the after
noon Elijah Townsend, col0red,
about SO years of age and another
colored man and woman, whose
names were not learned, came from
Harrington for bathing and fishing.
They had donned their bathing suits
and in some manner the friend of
Townsend's lost his fishing reel.
The white boys nearby started div
ing for it and a request was made
for the use of the row boat the boys
had tied up to the shore. Their re-
quest was refused, but while the
boys were gone the colored parties
climbed into the boat without the
consent of the owners. 1t was claim
ed by many who saw the accident
that the colored folk were drink
ing. It was said that Elijah Town
send emptied a beer bottle while in
the boat and tossed the bottle up
on shore. The accident happened
close along the causeway but the
water is about twelve feet deep
where the boat capsized All three
of the occupants were thrown into
the water. Townsend's body ne eyer
came up, while the other two made
frantic efforts to reach shore or
shallow water. The man was res
cued by William Shockley and
Franklin Lewis went to the aid. of
the woman. Townsend is an ex-
man and is considered an
expert swimmer, having served four
years in the navy. A physician and
State Police were notified, under the
direction of Sergeant Knox the po-
lice grappled for the body and DO
Gated it about 9 p. m. The drowned
victim is survived by his parents,

Apres la guerre, Wally returned
to Philadelphia and resumed work
as a free lance artist. His cartoon
pages in The American Legion
Monthly are classics. They keep
alive the fOndest memories of those
who were cover There" He still
loves to draw the "old gang" al

Wallgren has a serious and SYM
pathetic side that is surprising in
view of the slap-stick grimaces he
puts into his creations. He is ever
so much deeper, and far more i'm
pressive, than his rollicking car

Wally's STARS and Stripes" fame
has not turned his head even the
slightest. Like most ex-doughboys,
he feels that the big job, with the

one wants to hear about it. In Wal

SOLVING THE WORLD PROBLEMS

President Hoover's call for a
ne-year-moratorium of war debts
was the most spectacular act of his
administration. 1t had the effect of
arousing the first ray of hope for
business and industry since the fall
of 1929. The President has the ac-
tive support of political leaders of
ali parties and factions, which gives
assurance that the United States
Congress will be in position to rati-
fly the extension of credit to nations
that owe the United States. Right
now the European governments are
trying to get together to give their
own collection agencies a vacation.
The probabilities are that this pro-
posal of President Hoover will work
out all right.
1t is still too early to say that
the depression in the United States
is about over" but there seems to
be plenty of evidence that a great
improvement is under way. The
sentiment in Washington political
and legislative circles is very hope
full. At least the public morale has
been greatly improved.
Vermont is the only state having
