kicks in with a balanced budget
little but a technical rally is
possible.
Sturdy action of American
Can and U. S. Steel is causing

However, the suspicion is that
these two leaders are being held
up to aid liquidation in the rest
of the market.
There we're a few interesting
developments yesterday. One
was the large-scale buying Of gold
by England with the forecast
that this was preliminary to the

bulliSh development.
New Play in Wheat
Then wheat put up a better
performance coincident with the
reports from Chicago that Arthur
Cutten and Jesse Livermore were
around the grain pit. This sug-
gests that ammunition is being
prepared for another play in
wheat.
For the present, however, the
stock market is apparently being
left to shift for itself and it
looks as though the hands-off
policy will prevail until Congress

PROFITABLE BY
BRADSTREET

Too many business executives
are carrying their program of
curtailment and retrenchment to
unjustified and dangerous limits,
E. B. Moran, executive sales
manager of the Bradstreet Co,
told the Connecticut State Credit
Mems Association meeting in
New Britain. Conn.
Mr.. Moran declared that in.
stead of curtailing advertising ap-
preparations and cutting sales
forces. they should be increasing
or at least maintaining advertis-
ing expenditures and putting on
additional statesmen to meet pres,
ent day conditions. He said, IN
part:
More advertising, Scientifical-
Iy prepared and intelligently
placed, backed by more inten-
Sive sales effort, combined with
confidence in Americas buSi-
ness and courage to uphold,
will succeed on a more perma-
nent basis than business sought
on the shifting sands of price
competition.
In the al alySiS of tens Of
thousands of financial state
ments received in BradStreets
offices we find increased earn
ings by many corporations,
both large and small. If l
were called upon to give credit
to the present indications Of
success that we see in these
statements, I would say that 1t
Is mainly due to more intensive
sales effort, and to advertis-
ing"

SMALL BUSINESS IN CLOTH

NEW YORK, May 26 0N.S).
Further recessions on some standard
wide print cloths in the coarse yarn
cloths market today, failed to bring
in any appreciable amount of business
and the new prices were not met by
number of the larger selling houses.
Buyers for the most part found them
selves unable to grasp the full
significance of market developments Of
the past several days and felt they
could lose nothing by waiting a. few
days more for the atmosphere to be-
come more clarified.

WIN LEAGUE SHOOT
Milford Retains Loop Lead BY Fin.
iShing In Second Place

Bowers Gun Club took high hon
ors in the Delaware State League
match held at the Milton Gun Club
Friday afternoon with a five-man
team score of 233x25O. 1t was the
sixth loop match of the present sea-
son. Milford finished in second place
with a score of 230x250, Dover was
third, with 224x250, while the host
team took a lot of rough treatment
to finish with 214x250
This leaves Milford out in front,
although Bowers picked up three
targets on them, and also closed the
nine-target gap existing between
Dover and themselves. To date the
score is as follows: Milford, 1393x
1900; Bowers, 1884; Dover, 1884;
Milton, 1871.
Individual hOnOrs went to Brooks
Reynolds, of Bridgeville, who shat

as if Reynolds would be the first
nimrod to win a so straight spoon
this season but a sharp angle bird
among his last ten slipped out of the
pattern to spoil his threat. L. r.

twenty-five contractors from al
parts of Delaware and from Penn
sylvania, Maryland and New Jersey
submitted base bids on Tuesday for
the construction of the new Kent
county Jail to be built west of the
Governors avenue boulevard on Wa
ter street in Dover.
The bids were opened by the Levy
Court at Dover Tuesday morning.
Separate bids were also submitted
for plumbing and heating, electric
work, refrigeration plant, Jail equip
ment and kitchen equipment. There
is about $4,000 available for the
Jail including the property. 1t is to
be a modern Jail building in every
particular.
The Levy Court will probably not
award the contracts for several days
as there are alternate bills to be cen
sidered before arriving at a definite
decision. However, the total of the
apparent lowest bidders for the var
ious contracts is $50, ,225.61, which it
is thought, will come well within
the amount available allowing for
the ground and extras.
The base bid of James a. HirOns
Co. of Dover, $50, 3,17402 is apparent
ly the lowest for the general con-
tract. The apparent lowest bidders
for the other work are as follows:
Plumbing and heating, Alfred S.

Accused OF kidnapping
INVESTIGATE AFFAIR
Man Who Had Served
Prison Term Charges Men
With Framing Him

Robert Allen, chief of police OF
Ocean City, Md, and George K. Jar
Wis, a well to do farmer, who resides
near Berlin, were arrested Monday
afternoon on charges of assault and
battery and kidnapping. The war
rants we're sworn out by Charles w.
Brown, who was found chained in a
marsh after being missing for sew
eral days and the accused men given
a hearing before Magistrate william
J. Bratten Tuesday. Officials refused
to say anything except that the war
rants had been issued.
Brown claims that his kidnapping
by four masked men, Tuesday night
OF last week, was to force him to
sign two statements. One was to
the effect that the charges in a $5,-
900 libel suit which Brown had
brought against Jarvis, one of the
men for whom a warrant was issued,
were false and a frame-up.
The second statement demanded
was a confession" from Brown that
he was the man who ran from car
on May 30, 1880, which dry agents
and Chief of Police Allen halted dur
ing a liquor raid. Brown was sem
fenced to ten months in Jail by the
federal court on two dry law charges
although he denied he was the man
who fed from the automobile.
After Brown had served his time
and was released, last December,
John Wainwright, of Berlin, confess
ed that he was the man who escaped
from the machine Brown accused
Chief of Police Allen, on whose tes-
timony he was convicted, of fran
ing" him. He refused to sign both
these statements.

awarded by Professor Messner OF
the Harrington High School. The
star scout award was presented by
George Grier of Milford, District
Scout Commissioner.
The presentation of standard

would suffer. The Del-Mar-Va AS
sociation objected principally ON the
grounds that curtailment of any
transportation facilities unless alb
solutely warranted was a serious
handicap to their work and efforts
to attract new comers and tourists
to this section. They contended that
such reducing in service naturally
gave the impression that the sectiOn
affected was going backward. Other
points of objections which played
an important part in the testimony
offered was serious interference
with present mail service in the
communities along that line and
serious inconvenience in reaching
points at any distance without great
loss of time.
Those attending and testifying
from Del-Mar-Va were: Mayor J. o.
Byrd, and w. D. Corddry, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, of

man of the special committee on
