WILSON CASE TO
GO TO HIGH COURT
Former Deputy Prohibition
Administrator Held For
Contempt Charges
WITHHELD INFORMATION

us. District Attorney Wales has
until July 20 to petition the U. S.
Supreme Court to review the con-
tempt of court charges placed by
Judge Nields of the U. S. District
Court at Wilmington against Har-
old d. Wilson, former deputy pro-
hibition administrator of Delaware,
and now of Nebraska. On May 20,
the Circuit Court of Appeals in
Philadelphia, by a majority vote,
handed down an opinion, sustain
ing Judge Nields who held Mr.Wil-
son under charges Of contempt of
court for refusing to tell who gave
him key that allowed Wilson and
his agents entrance into the Dem
ocratic League of Delaware, SIC
French street. District Attorney
Wales had 30 days in which to seek
to bring the case to the Supreme
Court and he has now been grant
ed an extension. In the meantime
Attorney General Mitchell and Ma
tional Prohibition Administrator
Woodcock have become personally
interested in the Wilson case. They
contend the case has an important
bearing on the activities of Federal
prohibition agents. There seems to
be no doubt but that they will ask
the Supreme Court to review the
case.

DEEDS SHOW LEWES CAPITAL
Milton Man Has Interesting DOcu-
ments OF Historic Value

Ira S. Hazard, real estate brok-
er of Milton, has two old and rare
deeds or indentures, which recently
he loaned to the ZwaaendaeI Dutch
House, in LeWes, for exhibition.
They have been attracting much at
tention from residents of Delaware,
Pennsylvania, New York, Mary
land and New Jersey, who have
been in Lewes and visited the
building, which was constructed by
the State and recently dedicated,
in commemoration of the Booth an
niversary of the landing of the
Dutch at Lewes. One of the deeds
bears date Of 1888 and has three
seals on it. One of the seals is the
Black seal of the town of Lewes
when it was the county seat of
Sussex county, prior to George
town becoming the county seat.
The seal has the words William
Penn, Proprietary" printed on it.
The second seal is that of the State
Of Delaware, while the third one
is small private seal. Both deeds
or indentures have the same seals,
but bear different dates. The date
of the second deed is 1916. They
are the only two deeds in existence,
so far as can be traced, that have
the courthouse seal on them when
Lewes was the county seat Of Sus-
sex. Georgetown, by an act of the
Legislature, was laid out for the
county seat in 1892 because it is
the hubs of the county. The
courthouse and Jail were moved tc
Georgetown from Lewes.

CAMDEN BANKER
COMMITS SUICIDE
George c. Davis, Shoots Self
in Head Shortly After
rendering Resignation
FIND ACCOUNTS CORRECT

a coroner's jury Thursday night
held an inquest on the body Of
George Collins Davis, 33 years old,
of Camden, whose body was found
on a farm owned by him in St.
Jones Neck Thursday morning.
The only witness was Clark Whit
ney, farmer, who was on his way
to Dover and found the body. The
jury gave a verdict that Davis
came to his death from a wound,
self inflicted. Davis who was mar
ried and had three children, had
been connected with the Camden
branch Of the Baltimore Trust
Company for Is years and for
several years had been cashier.
Wednesday he resigned his posi-
ton. Officers of the bank declined
to give the reason for his resigna-
tion, but said that his accounts
were correct. After resigning Dav-
is went to his home but some time
during the evening drove away in
his automobile. He was not wear
ing a hat or coat at the time
When he did not return Wednes-
day night his family and friends
became alarmed and a search was
started early Thursday morning.
Mr.. Whitney was on his way to
Dover with milk when he noticed
the automobile in a field on the
Davis farm and investigating found
the body. He notified the police.
Mr.. Davis it is thought, took the
revolver from his home and ap-
parently made careful arrange
ments for killing himself. The car
was driven into wheat field on
his farm and stopped only short
distance from the public road. 1t
was probably after dark when the
act was committed. He got out of
his car and taking a blanket from
the machine spread it on the
ground directly in front of the ma
chine. He then took his pocket
book, which contained some bills,
took off his two rings and placed
them in the pocketbook, tied the
wallet with string and placed it
on the seat of the automobile. He
locked the car and put the keys in
his pocket and placed one of his
name cards on the windshield of
the machine. 1t is thought from
the position of the body that after
making all these plans Davis then
lay down on the blanket and shot
himself in the head. The revolver
was still in his hand when the
body was found and he also had
his eyeglasses on. No note was
found. The police took the keys
from Davis pocket and unlocked
the car to get the pocketbook
which they could see through the
window. The Baltimore Trust
Company, of which Davis had
served as cashier has two other
branches, at Selbyville and Bridge
vile. Senator John G. Townsend,
Jr., is president of the company
and former State Senator Charles
DUPONT Ridgely, is vice-president
in charge of the Camden branch.

BASS AT BETHANY BEACH
Gap Humes Had To Use Gardar
Hoe To Scale His Catch

CAP Humes, one of MILFORD
most ardent followers Of the Izaak
Walton sport, made a record cafch
last week while fishing at Bethany
Beach. TIL fish was a channel 5ass
which measured three feet tWo
inches long and weighed twentv-
two and one-quarter pounds. The
fish was probably the largest ever
caught by any rod and reel sports
man in this vicinity. Humes
brought the fish home and pro
ceded to prepare it for the table
The only way he could scale tho
fish was to nail it to large board
and scale it with garden hoe
The scales were larger than 4
twenty-five cent piece. After this
operation was over he cut the Ash
up into twenty large steaks. Chan
mel bass are not very plentiful
along the Delaware coast Some
years ago at Dewey Beach there
were few caught but at the pres
ent time most of them are caught
between Bethany Beach and the
Inlet River Inlet.

Punts and Passes

~ HAMPAIGN, ul.-According to
the records, the under dog
Y ought to be the favorite when
Illinois meets Ohio State Sat-
urday. Since 1916, when the famous
Chic Harley scored points to give the
Buckeyes a rs decision, nearly every
game has been decided by last-min-
ute run, pass or kick by the team that
was behind. One of the biggest thrills
came in 1920, when the Illini won on
forward pass that was in the air when
the pistol cracked for the end of the
game.
SHEPaERDSTOWN, w. Va.-One foot
ball player who seems to have q right to
be proud of last Saturdays perform
ance is Waugh Of Shepherd College. Up
to that game every one Of the teams
points had been scored by H. Maddox,
but Waugh finally broke the monopoly
by putting over touchdown.
DETROIT-The dope" again says
that Michigan State is favored over
Detroit for Saturdays clash, and it
doesn't worry the Titans at all. Nearly
every year since Gus Dorais has
coached Detroit 1t has been the same,
but so far Detroit has won four Of the
games and tied the fifth.
BALTIMORE.-Follo of the Uni
yersity of Baltimore believe record of
some sort should be claimed for their
team. In nine games Baltimore has
scored 178 points and has allowed its
opponents 161. The biggest score was
$50, against Cooper Union, and that
came week after Fordham had de-
feated Baltimore by the same count.
WEST POINT, N. Y.-Even though
Army won from North Dakota State
by a 500 count Saturday, the Cadets
did not entirely escape trouble in the
game. Stacy Gooth, reserve left guard,
received bad cut on his left leg; Ken
Fields sprained knee, and Bill Frent-
Eel suffered badly bruised ankle.
CLEvELAND.-A big crowd is ex-
pected to see the Notre Dame-Navy
game here Saturday, but there is moth
ing in that to surprise the contending
teams. They have played five times
and drawn total attendance of $780,
600. They attracted more than 100,0 900
fans for their 1928 game at Chicago.
MORCANTOWN,' w. Va.-The riv-
airy between West Virginia and its
little neighbor, Davis and Elkins, grew
SO hot a few years ago that relations
were broken of after a disagreement
over eligibility rules. 1t has been
patched up again now since Davis and
Elkins adopted transfer and one-year
residence rules and their warfare is to
be resumed Saturday by popular de-
mand.
EASTON. Pa.-The Lafayette-Le
rivalry usually has been overshadowed
by the fact that the game is played the
same day that Yale meets Harvard
Lafayette and Lehigh however, are
playing their 66th game this week,
while the Ellis and the Crimson meet
for the 51st time. From the start In
1884 they haven't missed year and up
to 1901 they claShed at least twice

fish," said Orsinger, who added that
school teachers are visiting the aqua
rum every day with classes, and their
enthusiasm is unbounded.
NRSINGER said that an aquarium
" society is being formed in Wash
ington in which several prominent
specialists in aquaticS are interested.
This society, he said, is primarily for
the amateur. The object is the popu-
lar and scientific study of the aquarium,
its flora and fauna. 1t will encourage
exhibits and discussions. 1t Is not
necessary to become a member In order
to attend. He pointed out that these
men will help those interested in this
delightful hobby to maintain balanced
aquaria and there is no limit to the
enjoyment and education for the en-
tire family. The first meeting Of this
society will be held the latter part OF
next week, and Orsinger suggests that
you send in your name to Rod and
Stream of The Star, and you Will be
advised of the meeting.
In concluding, Orsinger said that it Is
the hope of Commissioner O'Malley that
the local aquarium shall serve the pub
lie to the greatest degree possible; 10
acquaint the public with the forms and
habits of fishes under nearly natural
conditions; to serve as the means Of
educating young and old to the beauties
of life under the water and the needs
for providing good fishing for those who
follow this greatest Of outdoor sports.
THE Potomac is bringing down to
l. Washington plenty of muddy water,
- and it is in roaring mood, DASH
al Al ftxF
Of Chain Bridge. The swift current
should help to clear it up more quickly
and permit bass anglers to cast again
for both the large and small mouth
varieties before the close Of the season
in Maryland on December l. In the
lower river anglers can fish until the
weather gets too cold for comfort.
An occasional blue or trout may be
landed in the Bay or its tributaries the
remainder of this month, but the one
best bet to catch any deni2ens Of the
deep will be angling for striped bass or
rockfiSh. For some reason this fish has
not appeared In the Bay in any num-
bers This. season, but in the lower Po-
tomac around Tall Tmbers and up to
Blackstone Island they have been
caught and will be until Christmas, per-
haps much longer. These game fish
do not leave our waters like their
brothers, cousins, aunts, ETC., for the
Gulf Stream during the Winter months,
but stay with US the entire year. The
colder the weather the deeper holes
they seek, and the boatmen in the lower
river know exactly where to find them.
The past week heavy rains and high
winds put q crinp in fishing in the
lower Potomac, but with the return of
good weather, especially with colder
days, rockflsh again will commence TO
strike and there will be good fishing
for the angler who Is not afraid Of chilly
breezes.

Landon Boys Really Are Polite,
But Must Battle i'm Foot Ball

boys told P. L. Banfield, Landon head
master, that they disliked to tackle the
alien backs because they were so much
smaller Banfield reminded them this
was stretching politeness a bit too much
and unless they snapped out of it they
would be coming back with the short
end of the score.
So by a determined rally Landon
triumphed. Coach MacCartees pro-
tegeS marked up touchdown in the
third quarter, when Charley Slaughter
made sterling 40-yard dash, and an
ether in the final period as Bill Baker,
quarterback, plunged 4 yards to goal
after a long drive down the field in
which ne carried the ball 10 straight
times.
Rena Martinez, l20-pounder, who re-
Gently was put at center. when Slaugh-
ter was injured, was kept at the snap
per-back post and the recovered
Slaughter sent to the backfield. Both
played we'll as did Clarence Becker,
guard
Hazel scored st. Andrews touchdown,
following the blocking of Bakers punt.
1t was the first kick Baker had blocked
since playing with Landon and this is
his fourth season with the team.

TRED G. ORSNGER, director Of
- the new aquariums Of the Bureau
OF Fisheries, in his recent radio
address for Rod and Stream said
that for years the bureau maintained
aquaria in its old headquarters at Sixth
and B streets, for observation, research
and study of live specimens, and this
particular department was favorite
spot for ardent fishermen and visitors
tn the bureau. to the extent that some
of the older specimens there acquired
friends, names and regulations.
He said that as aquaria developed
and improvements were made to main
tain live specimens with less trouble
and expense, they became popular pup
lie institutions, always with educauonal
investigations and experiment In the
BACKGROUND and II was found they at-
tracted more visitors than the museums
and art galleries. AS eXpositions there
were no exhibits which served to fas-
cinate so many as live fish In natural
surroundings.
Orsinger said there now are seven
large public aquaria in the United
States. He told his audience that the
John c. Shedd aquarium in Chicago
cost three millions Of dollars and is the
largest in the world; that the New YORK
aquarium is the Oldest and acknowl-
edged as one of the most scientific in
research work, but, he said, I'VE hope
to make ours the most beautiful the
most educational, and an internatiPnal
mecca for these who naturally Will iloeK
to the United States for the best"
ORsINGER pointed out that it has
been only three months since the
local aquariums have been prop
erly stocked with fresh water fishes
and that visitors are increasing IN
numbers daily. THE washington
Monument is less than two blocks
from the aquarium, and every visitor
to that historic shrine should stop ana
visit us. too" said Orsinger. co11tinu-
| ing: Even If you live outside OF the
District of Columbia, you will find 1t
we'll worth while to spend an hour In
| the aquarium. You can see the hshes
as they look in their natural habitat.
You can familiarize yourself with the
fishes Of the local waters and become
| able to distinguish bass from trout,
yellow bass from yellow perch, etc"
He said Commissioner Henry O'Mal-
| ley of the u. S. Bureau of Fisheries
has been most enthusiastic about the
development OF the aquarium. He said
the commissioner was mostly RESPONSE
| BILE for its inclusion in the Department
of Commerce building and that the
public can add to its enjoyment and
learn as much in an hours observation
as could be gained by cropping through
lot Of books.
so the aquarium is yours to come
to as often as you like. Especially we
urge you to show the boys and girls
kthe way, Just once, so they will be able
to come often and learn TO know their
