Secretary. American Bridge League

7 Until recently, it generally was
~ assumed that an opening bid
in third position, after two passes,
should be somewhat stronger than
an opening bid by dealer.
Many experts have reached the
opposite conclusion, and will open
the bidding in third position with a
hand which would be passed with
out question as dealer.
The national masters contract
pair championship of the American
Bridge League produced this hand,
which illustrates this point very
we'll.

JERSEY PRESENTS
ANCIENT MAPSN
BOUNDARY FUSS
Evidence Offered Special
Master Rawls At Meet
ing In Washington
NONE REVEAL LINE
Delaware Will Submit
Evidence Secured In
England

Numerous maps were introduced
in evidence by New Jersey in the
boundary dispute with Delaware at
meeting in Washington before Spe-
cial Master William L. Rawls.
New Jersey was represented by
Attorney General William A. Stevens
and by Assistant Attorney General
Duance E. Minard Delaware was
represented by Attorney General
Reuben Satterthwaite, Jr., and For
mer Attorney General Clarence l..
Sutherland.
The meeting was held in the Con-
gressional Library to permit Colonel
Lawrence Martin, chief of the map
division of the library, and a recog-
nized authority on maps, to identify
the authenticity of the maps and de-
scribe them.
The boundary dispute brought by
New Jersey would have the Supreme
Court set aside the claim of Delaware
to jurisdiction over the Delaware
River to low water mark on the New
Jersey shore, and over Delaware Bay
to its geographical center instead of
to the main ship channel.
New Jersey has introduced about
rs ancient boundary and channel
maps, ranging from 1855 to the Rev.
olution. Most of these maps have
been filed in photostatic copies,
maly of the originals being on file in
the Library of Congress, others be-
ing in the British Museum and else
where
1t was necessary for counsel for
New Jersey to prove the authenticity
of the maps used in making the cop
les. Much time was devoted to an
examination of maps by John Mitch
ell and of French prints of those
maps.
The more important maps exam
ined were those made by John Mitch

AT recent session of the Kent
County Levy Court, County Engineer
J. E. Haddaway asked permission to
straighten a dangerous curve which
exists just north of McKee's bridge,
on the county highway leading from
Dover to Cheswold, in the Fifth Dis
trict. Several accidents have occur
red recent yat this point, and the
engineer stated it could be made
safer by procuring land for a wider
right of way, and lengthening the
present curve. Permission was also
asked to widen the present road over
Lebanon Causeway, leading from the
drawbridge over to the Dover-Kitts
Hammock State highway. Both per-
mits were granted provided suitable
right of ways and borrow pits could
be procured.
Plans and specifications for the
new Kent county prison which have
been prepared by Engineer J. E.

architect, of Wilmington, are ex-

GET REPORT OF
MODEL SCHOOL
Some Educators Approve, Others
DiSapprOVe, Methods Used

AT a meeting of the State Board
of Education Friday a report was
received from various State super
visors, superintendents and princi-
pals of State schools relative to the
state demonstration school at
Georgetown. According to the report
some of the educators expressed a
favorable impression as to the school
while others were not favorably i'm
pressed. The school has been con-
Quoted for more than year, the
project being largely financed by the
Delaware Citizens Association which
was formed when Service Citizens
went out of existence.
All of the teachers in the State
have been urged to visit the school
and observe the methods there and
a considerable number of them have
done so. The demonstration school
includes the first six grades of the
Georgetown school. The report was
so long and also so important, that
the body decided to further discuss
it at a meeting to be held next week.

FORM COUNCIL
ON EDUCATION
Walter Phillips Named
President OF Sussex
County Body

Delegates from the public school
adult education centers met in the
court house in Georgetown Friday
night and organized a Sussex Coun-
ty Advisory Council on Adult Edu-
cation. This is the sixth year an
Advisory Council has functioned in
that county. The first met i'll 1927

resentatives.
Officers elected for the year 1882
are: president, Walter Phillips, Hol-
lymount Center; secretary, Emma
Darby, Milton Center; treasurer, Sal
lie Messick, Georgetown Center.
The council was unanimous in its
expression of opinion regarding the
value of adult education as a means
of enrichment of community life in
the towns and rural areas of Sussex
county and of the desirability of it's
continuation as part of the state
supported program of public educa-
ton.
Action was taken regarding the
organization of committees who
would be responsible for determin-
ing the adult education needs and
interests of each community during
1888 and reporting these to the
school authorities on or before April
1, 1882.

COUNTY AUDIT
Total Receipts OF 1892,
873.1O Shown In Report
Presented To Judge

Kent county auditors, Walter 0. Hof-
fecker and John C. Hopkins having
completed the audit of the books of
County Comptroller William G. Para
dee, last week made their report to
Resident Judge William w. Harring-
ton, who annually appoints the aud
itors.
The report for the fiscal year
from December 1, 1880, to December
1, 1881, shows total receipts of $332,-
S73.10. Expenditures amounted to
$302, ,1S9.04.
The auditors commented on a new
appropriation by the county made
possible by an act of the last Della
ware Legislature, of $3.50, to the Da-
vid Harrison American Legion Post
of Smyrna, in which there is no ac-
counting as to how the money is
spent other than for the use of its
recommend that in view
of the fact that the appropriation is
for service and is not a donation,
voucher be taken for each payment,
showing in detail service in each case
and the amount paid for it.
In commenting on the amount of
taxes received by the county last
year which showed a decided in
crease over the previous year, the
auditors suggested that with the tax
payers generally hard-pressed to
meet expenses and with everybody
forced to ecOnOmize wherever pos
sible, taxes should be lowered this
year rather than increased.

STATE RETTRES
CASE AGAINST
:. ME-. MINISTER
Acts In Hudson Case Af-
ter Supreme Court Re-
verses Lower Court
SAID COURT ERRED
Allowing Attorney To
Comment On Defendants
Character Was Wrong

The Rev. John A. Hudson, of
Powelsville, Md, a former minister
of the Wilmington NJ. e. Conference,
who was sentenced to serve three
years Imprisonment after being
convicted on charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses in the
Court of General Sessions in Will
mington, will not have to serve the
sentence. The case has been retired
by Attorney General Reuben Satter-
thwaite, Jr, following the handing
down of an opinion by the State Su-
preme Court several weeks ago to
the effect that the former minister
was entitled to a new trial, the
court below having been in error.
The charges against Hudson were
made by Mrs. Hannah Prince, of
Carpenter Station who charged
Hudson obtained by false pretenses
S4500 from her.
Hudson was convicted on the
charges and a motion for a new
trial was made by his attorneys w.
W. Knowles and II. W. Knowles,
Knowles, who also asked for an ar
rest of judgment. Judge Harrington
refused the application and an ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme
Court.
In the opinion handed down by
the Supreme Court, the court states:
+We are constrained to reverse
the judgment of the lower court on
the ground that the Attorney Cen
el'al and his Deputy were permitted,
over objection of the defendants
counsel, to comment as they did ON
the failure of the defendant to
prove good character, the defend
ant not having introduced any char
acter evidence, and the court fail
ing to instruct the jury to disregard
such comments.
The court quoted numerOus cases
to uphold its contention but further
more states:
We are of the opinion that

permitted to comment to the jury on
defendants failure to prove a good
reputation and especially when de-
fendant's counsel has objected to
such comment. The evident purpose

Total Expenditure For
Year On Construction
Seen AS JObIess Boon

Expenditures amounting to $S,-
6S0,3l0 are expected to be made in
the State of Delaware this year on
public construction work by the
State, county and municipal govern
ments.
This announcement, which is made
in Il letter to Governor G. Douglass
Buck from Samuel w. Freedman,
who has just completed survey on
estimated budgets to be spent in
Delaware during the year, is of much
interest at this time. Such an eX-
tensive building program will give
employment to many workers and
aid in relief of the economic depres-
sion, it was pointed out.
In his letter to the Governor, Mr..
Freedman expresses appreciation for
the corporation which he has re-
ceived in making the survey. The
survey was made for the McGraw-
Hill Publishing Company, publishers
of Engineering News Record.
Cooperating with Mr.. Freedman
in making the survey were w. w.
Mack, superintendent of the State
Highway Department, George S. Will
liams, State treasurer, and Dr. II.
V. Holloway, State superintendent of
public instruction.
The expenditure does not include
postoffice buildings which are to be
erected by the Federal government.
