RISING SUN SCHOOL BUILD
INGS ENTERED

Some person, or persons,
with malicious intent, entered
the new Rising Sun High
School building and also the
Elementary School building,
late Friday night or early Sat-
urday morning. Entrance to
the High School building was
gained by cutting or break
ing a piece of glass out of one
of the windows of the Manual
Training room, and unfasten-
ing the catch.
After gaining entrance the
various rooms were visited and
papers and books scattered, ink
smeared over walls and desks.
and other malicious acts COM
mitted. In the Elementary
building. some distance from
the high school, books and pap
ers we're mutilated and scat
tered about, and in the base
ment charred remnants of some
half burned school papers
found, showing that the mis-
creants had deliberately set
fire to them on the wooden
floor. Fortunately no damage
was done by the blaze.
Nothing of value appears to
have been taken. The SUPPOSE
ton is that some one with a
fancied grievance was venting
his spite.
A reward of $500 by the
Board of Education of Cecil
County, and an additional re-
ward of $1,000 by the Senior
Glass of the high school is Of
fered for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of
the guilty party or parties.

DELEGATES SPLIT
LOUISIANA c. D. P.
Slate Headed by Jahncke Ex.
pected to Be Seated at
Chicago.

A dispute among Louisiana Repub-
licanS over the naming of delegates-at-
large to the National Convention was
brought to light yesterday when Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Jahncke re-
ceived telegram protesting the legality
of a convention at New Orleans We'd
nesday when four delegates pledged to
President Hoover were named.
This is the first seating contest to
develop.
Ask for Showdown.
The telegram came from John E.
Jackson, chairman OF the Republican
State Central Committee of Louisiana,
whose group. known as the lilly whites"
also selected four Hoover delegates
Wednesday at Alexandria with Jahncke
heading the list Eight Hoover district
delegates already had been chosen.
Jackson said the New Orleans group,
calling themselves "old regulars and
opponents of lily whitism," held their
convention without authority of the
National Committee and without legal
predicate"
He added this group held its COM
mittee and convention meetings on the
same dates as the legally constituted
organization in order to attract atten-
ton and to create dissension and dis
satisfaction in party ranks"
Decision Is Foreseen.
The New Orleans convention called
upon the national convention to settle
'once and for all' its position toward
lily whitism."
Jackson said his committee and the
delegation named under its authority
were constituted without regard to
race, color or creed, and numbers
among the personnel colored as well
as white members"
The administrations dele
cation, headed by Jahncke, undoubt-
eddy will be seated.

Chairman Stone If Congress cuts the
boards administrative budget from
$3.50 900 to 100000. -
Approximately $5o,000.0 900 remains IN
its treasury from the $500, 200, 900 set
aside for agricultural aid. Should
100000 900 bushels of board-controlled
wheat be distributed to the needy, as
approved by Congress, this would be
further reduced by almost S15,0O0,OOO.
Publicly Stone says:
If Congress sees fit to cut our budget,
we will Just try to live under it,"
But privately he is known to feel
that if the boards operations are to be
crippled and rendered ineffective, It
might well be abolished. Nevertheless
he has no intention Of quitting or
abandoning entirely the program for
promoting the growth of co-operatives.
