OUTLOOK FOR FARM
PRICES UNCHANGED
Statistics Company Declares
1881 Profit Margin Will
Be Near 1890.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 1e.-In Q re-
view of the agricultural situation,
Standard Statistics Co. says 1t does not
anticipate any sharp or sustained rise
in prices Of most farm commodities this
year. believing that the situation
against any strengthening influence
from curtailed production due to the
drought.
THE 1890 drought, the most severe
OF which we have record, has largely
continued into the current year, leaving
many important growing sections with
sub-sol moisture deficiency" the review
says.
In former periods, similar conditions
have been reflected in substantially
higher crop prices. With the deficiency
continued into the growing season, re-
duced aggregate domestic yields might
cause momentary strength, but ample
supplies, relatively expanded by reduced
consumption, and steady agricultural
progress in many foreign countries,
should, barring universal crop disaster,
offset lower yields in the United States.
Therefore we do not anticipate any
sharp or sustained rise In prices of most
farm commodities.
Furthermore, through imposition Of
unusually drastic foreign tariffs and a
current range of domestic prices well
above foreign prices, our outputs are be-
ing increasingly limited to our own
markets. We estimate aggregate 1880
gross income of farmers at about $1O.-
000,000,000, with strong indications that
income in the current year will be at
least 5 per cent lower. Coincidentally
sales of industrial products to form dis
trictS will meet continued strong resist
ance in 1891"
Pointing to evidence Of farm costs
gradually receding, Standard Statistics
expresses belief that, allowing for un-
foreseen circumstances, efficiently oper.
ated farms will at least be able to main
tain in 1881 a gross profit margin an.
alogous to that Of the preceding year."

CHESTER LEACH GETS FREE
Governor Buck Refuses to Extra
dite Him to Maryland Authorities

Chester Leach, held in Dover for
two weeks under bail of $500 or
a charge of completely in the rob
berry of the bank at Ridgely, Md,
was released by Sheriff Smith at
noon Monday. Requisition of Leach
had been demanded by the Mary
land authorities and Attorney Gen
eral Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr,
heard the evidence in the case for
Governor c. Douglass Buck. The
attorney general reported to the
governor that he did not think that
sufficient evidence had been pre-
sented to turn the man over to the
Maryland officers. The governor
decided to refuse the requisition
and ordered the release of Leach
Monday but in the meantime the
Maryland authorities notified the
Delaware officials that they would
not press the case and did not
want the man. Leach at once re-
turned to his home in Smyrna.
Leach and his wife are occupying
the apartment over HutchisOn
Brothers store but are arranging,
it is said, to move from Smyrna
next week. 1t is said they will
probably go with Mrs. Leach's peo-
pie over near Blackiston's Cross
Roads. All of the suspects in the
bank robbery case with the excep-
ton of one man held at Ridgelyr
Md, have now been released. 1t is
claimed there was no direct evi-
dence to connect those who have
been dismissed in the case.

SMYRNA AMBULANCE UPSETS
Was Taking Man From Dover to
Farnhurst When 1t Happened

Joseph Jackson, 80, of Whining
ton, while at work on the oyster
boat of Thomas Morris in the Del
aware Bay, who was taken i'll We'd
nesday was taken to Mahon's Light
House, where physician was sum-
moned. Because of the condition
of the road from Mahon's Light
to fast land, it was impossible for
a physician to reach the sick man,
Realizing the serious condition of
Jackson, eight men of the oyster
boats at Mahon's placed him on a
cot an started over the march
more than mile long to fast land
where he was placed in an auto
mobile and rushed to the Kent
General Hospital at Dover. 1t was
said there that his condition re-
sembled a stroke of paralysis. The
errand of mercy across the marsh
for more than a mile revived agi-
tation of a much needed improved
road from the fast land from Lit
tie Creek to Mahon's to open what
is considered one of the best har-
bors on this side of the Delaware
Bay. Before the threads of water
at the old Mahon's Light, which
caused it's abandonment and the
placing of the light further inshore
considerable business was done at
Mahon's. On Saturday, while Jack
son was being removed from the
Dover hospital in the Smyrna Am
bulance to the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst, an accident
occurred at Blackbird. Jay Van
Pelt, of this town, the driver at
the time, started to pass a car
ahead of him but in pulling cut to
pass, saw another car coming in
the opposite direction. He applied
his brakes but going at fast rate
of speed the ambulance turned
over on the side. Everyone escap-
ed injury and very little damage
was done to the ambulance aside
from the windows broken and
tenders bent. Another ambulance
from the Delaware State Hospital
was summoned and carried the
sick man on to the hospital.

Weeks-COnferenc in Washington
Definite and final selection Of a
site for the proposed new Federal
Building at Dover, is expected to
be reached by citizens and the
Government agencies before warm
weather, and thus end all contro-
versy. Representative Robert G.
Houston announced Saturday the
conclusion of a conference with
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Ferry X. Heath, at which were
present, besides the Congressman,
Mayor Wallace Woodford, of Do
yer, and NJ. Hayes Wilson, secre-
tary to Senator Daniel o. Hast
ings. The conclusion was that the
Treasury Department would can
eel the call for bids on a site which
it had been announced would be
opened April 23 The purpose of
the annulment is to permit time
for agreement on a site by citizens
and the Government. Representa-
tives of the Treasury are expected
to visit Dover with the purpose in
view of guiding citizens in their
deliberations concerning location of
the building. Actual construction
must await the appropriation of
the 100000 authorized at the last
session. Congress does not meet
again until December.

DUMP 100000 CARGO WORTH
LIQUOR INTO DOVER SWAMP
MARSHALL HANRATTY CAR
RIES OUT COURT ORDER
Liquor Was COnfiscated at F1em-
ing's Landing Last July From
Rum Runner" "DOn"-LegaI Fight

Five thousand bottles of import
ed liquors valued at about $4,000
was destroyed Monday on the town
dump, Dover, by U. S. Marshal
Charles Hanratty of Smyrna, and
Harold D. Wilson, deputy prohibi-
tion administrator for Delaware.
The liquor was confiscated on July
"a of last year on the speedboat
Don, following seizure of the boat
at Flemings Landing on the Smyr-
ma river. After a pitched battle
with customs agents, constables
and prohibition agents nine men
were arrested. All pleaded guilty
to charges against them and were
fined. Five thousand more bottles
of choice liquor seized in two
trucks by State police several
months ago were destroyed also.
This liquor had value of about
$4,000, according to prohibition
agents. Judge Nields in Federal
Court had ordered the liquor de-
stroyed Thursday but because of
the absence of Mr.. Wilson from the
city Marshall Hanratty could not
gain entrance to the seizure rooms
at Sixth and King streets. Mr..
Wilson is the only one who has a
key to the seizure rooms although
the $4,000 liquor cargo found on
the two trucks was in the mar
shaTs custody. Judge Nields re-
scinded his order for destruction of
this liquor and issued d new order
directing that it be destroyed Mon
day morning. The $4,000 cargo
of liquor destroyed Monday had
been stored in the seizure rooms in
the basement of the Dover Postof-
fee. The liquor destroyed on the
Dover town dump was packed in
sacks aboard the speedboat. Mar
tin Northrup alleged leader of the
smuggling crew pleaded guilty to
transportation of liquor and was
fined. Eight other men arrested
pleaded guilty to illegal possession
of liquor. Thurber K Forbes and
Ray P. Rogers were the drivers Of
the two trucks containing the
cargo of liquor which was destroy
ed by the Marshal

APRIL TERM KENT COUNTY
COURT IN SESSION AT DOVER
GRAND JURY MAKES RECORD
IN DISPOSING OF CASES
Twelve Divorce Cases Are Sched-
uIed, Besides Eight True Bills of
Indictment by Grand jury

The April term of Kent County
Court met at Dover, Monday, and
as only seven true bills of indict-
ment were found by the Grand
Jury, a short session is in prospect.
There are IL divorce cases listed
to be heard at this session. The
Grand Jury made record in COM
pleting their work in less than
three hours, they were discharged
by the court from any further at
tendance. The court after Sched-
uling some of the cases, found that
there were cases to be considered
next Monday, and accordingly adj
journed the court yesterday after
noon until next Monday, the sheriff
being ordered to notify the petit
jury summoned, not to appear un-
til Monday, April 27. Not in the
history of Kent county courts has
it ever occurred when practically
all of the work has been accom-
plished in one day The indict-
ments returned by the grand jury
included the following: State VS..
Thomas Smith and James Price,,
breaking and entering with intent
to commit larceny; two indict-
ments against Robert G. Banks,
alias r. G. Banks, one for false
pretences and one for forgery:
State VS.. Albert Collins, transport
ing spirituous liquor; State vs.Wil-
lard T. Wright and State VS.. Hi
ram Gordon, both for issuing
worthless checks. A worthWith
capias was ordered for Wright and
Gordon. In the case of Woodrow
Wilson and Harry Wilson, indicted
for illegal possession of spirituous
liquor, the grand jury ignored the
case against Woodrow Wilson, but
returned a true bill against Harry
Wilson A forthwith capias was
ordered for Harry Wilson. In the
cases of Thomas and James Pruce
indicted jointly as well as in the
two separate indictments against
Robert G. Banks, alias r. G.Banks,
upon their being arraigned, enter
ed pleas of not guilty. Their cases
were fixed for trial on Monday,
April 27. Out of the II divorce
cases scheduled for hearing before
the judges there were but two
heard in which DEGREES of nisi were
granted: Anna May Guessford
from Leroy Guessford, desertion;
Pearl Kemp Rash from Ernest j.
Rash, desertion. Four of the di-
vorce cases in which Deputy-At-
torney-General Wiley is counsel
were passed until later in the court
as Mr.. Wiley is i'll at his home.
