fighting organization was formed.
While there was volunteer fire
fighting done prior to that time,
the records disclose the formation
of the present company as the
first effort in the organization of
the volunteers. Eldad l.. Clarke,
retired merchant, was the first

was also the fire chief at that time.
Of the 20 charter members of the
organization, two others in addi-

SMYRNA AMBULANCE FUND
Controversy Over Kent COunty's
Appropriation is Explained

Owing to the controversy aris-
ing over the State appropriation OF
S250.O0 to the David G. Harrison
Post, No. IA, American Legion, of
Smyrna, G. w. w. Schantz, chair
man of the Post Committee, and
Ralph G.. FAIRIES, Commander of
the Post, have investigated the
whole matter and have submitted
the following explanation that the
public may be sufficiently inform
ed. Their report in full is as fol-
lows: "At the last session of the
General Assembly, bill was pass
ed appropriating S25O.OO to the
David c. Harrison Post, No. IA,
Inc, of the American Legion,
Smyrna, Delaware. The amount
was checked over to the Amrican
Legion by the Levy Court of Kent
County during the last fiscal year.
At the end of the year, when the
books of the County Comptroller
We're audited by the Auditing Com
mittee (appointed by the resident
judge of Kent County,) this item
of S250.00 came under discussion.
All the facts in the case were not
in possession of these auditors;
hence their recommendation were
not what they doubtless would
have been, had they been fully in
formed. The purpose of this state
nlent is to put fully and clearly
before the tax payers of this Coun-
ty, the creators of the fund from
which this appropriation is made,
the fact that the Ambulance De-
partment Of the Post is incorpor-
ated and every penny of this ap-
preparation goes to this incorpor-
ated department and not to the
General Fund of the Post. Further,
in justification of this appropria-
ton, we want to say that at this
date there are approximately
$1,000 of uncollected bills belonging
to the Ambulance Fund due from
people, for the most part, not able
to pay for Ambulance service, and
who. but for our gratuitous service
would have been without this hui
name help. The Ambulance, as we
all know, can not be operated and
maintained without funds. The ap-
preparation authorized by the State
Legislature and made by the Kent
County Levy Court is to be used
for this purpose only. 1t is also
recommended by the Committee of
the Post that the Levy Court of
Kent County, be informed at the
end of each fiscal year, the number
Of charity cases that were handled
and for which no payments had
been received"

TAILOR GR|LLED
IN L|NDY CASE

SEVILLE, Spain, Oct. 26
G.N.SO SO.-Jean Saul, former
Los Angeles tailor, was subjected
to new grilling by police today
in connection with his alleged as
sertion he knew who received the
$4,000 paid by Col. Charles A..
Lindbergh as ransom for his kid
naped child.
Saul, however, insisted he had
nothing to do with the kidnapping.
The United States consul re-
fused to intervene in the case
on the grounds Saul is not an
American citizen. He had no
passport. A letter found on his
person, police said, was addressed
to an acquaintance in New York
and read in part as follows:
Dear Bill: I've been drunk
and probably talked too much"
Saul was arrested soon after
he entered Spain because of his
lack of a passport. Police said
he came here from New York by
way of Bordeaux.
When he was arrested Saul
was quoted by police as saying
he wanted to talk to American
authorities about the Lindbergh
kidnapping.

LOSES GAINS

Payment of the regular dividend

only a momentary stimulus to the

A fresh break in wheat. which
went to new lows both in Chicago
and Winnipeg, offset this surprise
news, and the market turned
weak.
Opening gains of l to 3 points
were wiped out, and losses of this
amount were substituted. While
Steel preferred held above last
nights close, the common was
under pressure and dropped more
than a point.
Farm implement shares were
weak, Case Threshing losing about
2 points. Drug was again heavily
sold and broke well under the
previous close.
Railroad stocks continued to
give a relatively good performance,
aided by better traffic figures,
though the more volatile carrier
shares, like Atchison and Union
Pacific, lost a point and more

Union Carpenters AIIege For-
eign Born Get Most
of Work Here

Declaring that there is "a
job racket" with foreign-born
contractors in charge of work
on Government and city build
ing projects in the District, q
group of union carpenters
have petitioned Department
Commander Norman B. Lam
dreau, of the American Legion,
to urge that steps be taken to
permit the employment of
native-born citizens and vet
Grams on these projects.
The signers of the petition, all
veterans of the World War, de-
clare that IS per cent of the car
penters now employed on the new
House office Building are Nor
wegians and are foreign born.
Here Only 10 Years
The petition alleges that work
on the st. Elizabeth Hospital
Building is controlled by a man
who has been in this country
10 years and who did not file
his intentions to become citi-
zen until last January, and then
did so only that he might hold
his job.
The petition further alleges that
that 95 per cent of the carpen-
ters employed on the Archives
Building are foreign-born Nor
wegianS and further says that
this same group is in control of
the work on the Mckinley High
School, Gordon High Schol, Blu
reau of Standards and work for
the Crawford Pile Driving Com
pany.
Same In Other Trades
While the petition specifically
points out the alleged Job racket"
among the carpenters, it further
declares that the same conditions
exist in other trades, including
the painters, steel workers, elec-
tricians and associated crafts.
Particular attention, it is under
stood, will be called to the i'm
portation of Italian laborers from
various parts of Pennsylvania on
the Federal projects such as the
new postoffice garage building at
North Capitol and G Streets, when
