DELAWARE FIRST
AT INAUGURAL
May Be Less Fortunate on
Matter of Hotel Accom-
nOdatiOns in Washington
APPROPRIATION MADE

IF the House and Senate concur
in a joint resolution offered bv
Representative Poore Thursday af-
teInoon the members Of the Legis-
lasure will represent Delaware at
tn Inauguration of President-eIect
Fl anlIlin D. Roosevelt at Washing
ton on March 4. The resolution
was referred to the appropriations
committee. Governor Buck an
nounced at a conference with Re
publican members of both houses
early Thursday afternoon that he
was not opposed to the Legislature
attending the Inauguration in view
of the fact that Delaware is the
first State and receives high honors
on such occasions. Every Delaware
Legislature for more than a quart
er of a century has attended the
Inauguration of the incoming pres
ident. The resolution offered car
ries an appropriation of $4,000 for
expenses. Governor Bucks only
advice in connection with the pro
posed trip was that it be made as
economically as possible. It is felt
that this S a reasonable apropri-
alton fer the occasion and viii pro
vide for the State to be properly
represented Earlier in the week
q resolution was put through both
houses to name a committee to
confer with Governor Buck relative
to the inaugural trip. This com
mittee was appointed as follows:
Senators Griffenberg and Latchum
and Representative Poore, Owens
and Schroeder. This will be the
inaugural committee that will have
charge of the trip. The Poore res
olution sets out that the place of
honor at all national assemblages
in recognition of its being the first
State to adopt the Federal Consti-
tuition" being accorded Delaware it
is especially fitting that the State
should be represented at the inaug-
uration. The resolution also sets
out that Governor Buck be provid-
ed with a military escort and his
staff In case all of the money is
not used it will revert to the State
treasury.

S. Customs Service, Rabkin was
convicted and sent to Atlanta Peni-
tentiary. Released on March 18th,
1882, in the short space of two
months, special agents of the Gus
toms Service under John w. Rob
erts by watching his activities, as
certained that he was again en-
gagged in smuggling watches and
watch movements into the United
States.
How the smuggling rings activi-
ties were uncovered reads like a
chapter from an imaginative detec-
tive best seller. Disguised as truck
drivers. as stevedores, as SNUG
glers themselves, secret agents of
the U. S. Customs service discov-
cred that the ring was importing
cases of stationery from Switzer-
land, each case containing about
$50 boxes. About IS or 20 boxes of
Swiss watch movements were con-
cealed in the center of each case,
the boxes containing the watch
movements being Identical in ap-
pearance to those containing sta
tionery.
In spite of the ingenuity of this
scheme the U. S. Customs agents
soon were hot on the trail and once
again Rabkin was brought before
justice. Prosecuted by Assistant U.

to form a part of what is called
Appoquinimink circuit, it had al
ways been one of the appointments
Of Smyrna circuit. The other ap-
pointment Of Appoquinimink cir
cult is Union Church, beyond
Blackbird, where repose the re-
mains Of the revered Bishop Scott.
This too, also formed a part of
Smyrna circuit, and in former
times was known as an appoint
ment of ardent, loyal Methodists
Time has brought changes and "old
Frienship" that once formed one of
a family of eight, is thinking of
still further carrying on the work
of partition and thus stand alone
a unit. It is only a question of
courage in assuming the RESPONSE
bility. In asking the Conference
to be set off by themselves and
thus assume the responsibilities of
a station, they would have to pro-
vide themselves with parsonage,
and we are told efforts have been
made TO negotiate for certain prop
critics. Whether the difficulties in
the way viii be surmounted we
know not, but the larger part of
the congregation, we are informed,
desire it. There seems to be a
want of harmony between them
and certain chronic malcontents at
Union that are never happy unless
in leading a partizan strife The
society thought at one time it was
clear of them, but a bad penny,
they are constantly turning up
where they are not wanted. In
such an event, Union is not able to
stand alone, and would have to
unite with Townsend or some other
appointment.

brains was graphically brought out
here last week when Paul Rabkin,
master mind of an international
smuggling ring was again caught in
the widespread net of justice by
vigilant U. S. Customs men working
under Customs Agent John W..
Roberts.
Submitted in evidence at the time
of his indictment were clues to $3.50
watch movements representing over
173,6OO man hours of work OF which
American watch workers were de-
prived.
Once before, Rabkin has run
afoul of the law. In 1929 cases of
watches and watch movements
seized on the dock by Customs men
were estimated to be worth S138,-
673,OO0 and the estimated duty on
these cases S42, 2,8O4.65.

TOWNS FLOODED
AS STORM RACES
Heavy Rains Whipped By
Northeast Gale HaIts the
Wilson Line Ferries
BOWERS is INUNDATED

Driven by a northeast gale that
achieved speed of 40 miles an
hour, heavy rain storm swept
over Delaware Wednesday after
noon and evening, turned streets of
the towns into immature rivers,
whipped the waves in the Delaware
River and Bay into dangerous
heights, inundated some roads in
the lower part of the State, and
flooded Bowers Beach and Slaugh-
ter Beach. Although the wind was
very high no property damage was
reported although a few vessels
put into the harbor at Lewes for
safety.
Bowers Beach Under Water
The most spectacular feature of
the storm was at Bowers Beach
where the entire town was inun-
dated to a depth of more than a
foot, and residents were forced
either to use boats or wade in the
water to get to their destinations.
The tide was exceptionally high
and broke the beach for the entire
length of the bay shore At 10
o'clock Wednesday night the tide
began to ebb. At Slaughter Beach
the water reached to beneath the
boardwalk and several telephone
poles were undermined and COM
munication to the place was cut
off. At Rehoboth, the tide washed
over the beach but no damage was
reported, although the wind and
waves were very high. Delaware
City reported a tide of 10 feet, and
water washed up over the lower
end of Clinton street to a depth of
two feet and extended as far as the
Robinson House. Canal Park was
under water, and Canal street was
under a foot of water 1T was
feared for time the canal bank
which was washed away last No
vember and which was filled with
10000 bags of sand would again
suffer but the bank held and was
believed safe after the tide ebbed
There was no property loss discov-
cred.

1t is never too late to hope that

your pet molars that you lost in
earlier years may be replaced by a
genuine tooth that cuts through

days. To prove that such a hope
is not in vain, Mrs. Emma e. Mol

Z cent as traders became less pessi-
mistic over the Michigan bank situ-
alton. Stocks were steadier and
cables strong.
Liverpool reported cheaper Offer
ingS, but a good demand and less

were more of an influence than
Tuesday when financial affairs OBJ
tanned most interest. Corn was
steady with wheat unchanged to Il
cent higher. Oats was dull, but i
cent higher. Provisions were about
steady.
Liverpool was off only Il to *
cent at mid-afternoon, which was
better than due in view of the
action in North America Tuesday.
The Michigan banking situation ap-
peared improved and traders were
hopeful. Export demand over the
holiday was exceptionally good.
Corn was depressed by the heavy
country movement to terminal mar
kets. Hedging against the 2O4 600
bushels booked by Chicago handlers
was an important factor.
Oats lacks interest.
