P.S. DU POINT IS
HEAD OF BODY TO
PLAN LIQUOR LAW
Simon Measure, Follow
ing Quebec System Con-
sideredA At Meeting.
PROVIDES FOR BOARD
Meeting Was The First
The Commission Has
Held.

At the organization meeting Fri
day afternoon in the Supreme Court
room, of the Old State House, of the
commission recently created to study
proposed measures to regulate the
manufacture and sale of liquor, beer
and wine, in case of repeal of the
18th Amendment, Pierre S. dupont
was elected chairman. The com
mission is to recommend a bill to
the Legislature after a careful study
of the sitaatiOn is made.
This commission which was Gre
ated under joint resolution intro
duced by Senator Neugebauer, con-
sis of Mr.. DUPONT, Mrs. Macmillan
Hopes, of Wilmington. and James
II. Hughes, of Dover, appointed by
Governor Buck; Senator w. Mailly
Davis. named by President protein
Simonton, and Representative Chas.
T. Jackson, appointed by Speaker
Robinson.
The meeting on Friday was the
first the commission has held. No
officers other than chairman were
named
The discussion at Fridays meet
ing was largely along general lines,
as to how to proceed with the work
to complete it as quickly as possible
so that If time allows recOmmenda-
tiOns can be made. to the present
Legislature before 1t adjOurns sine
die.
Following the meeting Mr.. dupont
in brief statement said that details
OF the Simon bill now in the House
were discussed. This bill is said to
follow largely the Quebec plan for
control of the liquor question and
some of the members are said to
look with favor on this plan. It is
possible that the Simon bill will be
used as the basis for making up
bill which however will probably be
more elaborate than the Simon bill
is at this time.
The Simon bill would create the
Delaware Liquor Commission of five
members. The Governor and AttOr-
ney General would be members of
the Commission and the Governor

one of those days.
Governor Bucks car was

business matters before leav-

About dozen persons who
had observed that a police tag

shield of the Governors auto
and marked for an alleged
violation of the parking reg

see what Governor Buck
would do when he found the
tag.
They did not have long to
wait. The Governor left the
bank hurriedly, spotted the
tag, took it in hand and read
it, smiled broadly and tucked
the tag in his pocket. Then he
drove away. "He was a good
sport about it, anyway" one
man remarked as the curious

GAME ASSOCIATION
DENIES POLITICAL AIMS
Says Down State Newspaper Mis-
represented It In An Editorial

Making complete denial that there
are political interests or Interior
motives behind the activities of the
Delaware Game and Fish Protective
Association in introducing legisla-
tion before the Delaware Assembly,
Edwin C. Totten, president of the
association, made definite state
ment this week. Mr.. Totten further
asked that in spirit of sportsman
ship that the editorial attack made
upon the association in down.
State newspaper last week be clear
ed by an open statement naming the
alleged violators of the State game
laws with evidence of the alleged vi
Olations, rather than have the alleg-
atoms reflect on the association as
a body and each of its members.
Mr.. Totten said:
when the proposed Game and
Fish Protective Association was first
mentioned 1 made direct inquiry as
to its purposes being the preserva-
ton and propagation of game. Be-
fore accepting Office 1 made clear
that l would not become affiliated
with an association with objects
other than these mentioned. l was
satisfied in each instance and de-
spite numerous reports to the con-
trary and the open statements that
our association is being used as a
"catspaw," or is acting with delib-
crate knowledge to effect certain
political issues, l do not hesitate in
saying that this is without founda-
tion.

AMERICAN LEGION POST
TO CARE FOR CEMETERY
To Mark The Graves OF Veterans
With Suitable Markers

Milford Post No. 8 of the Ameri-
can Legion has taken over the re-
sponsibility of taking care of the
old Union Cemetery on the east end
of East Front street in South Mil
ford. In this cemetery there are IL
Civil War and Spanish-American
War veterans buried and in most
cases there is no marker on the
grave and the plots are all covered
with thick brush and briars.
The American Legion intends to
clear the cemetery of the brush and
to mark the grave of each veteran
with a suitable marker stating the
regiment and company that the per-
son belonged to. The Legion can
procure markers from the govern
ment.
In some of the graves the MEM
bers of the Legion have not been
able to find out who is buried so
they have requested that if any per-
son has a friend or a relative buried
in that cemetery in an unmarked
grave they should get in touch with
Lieutenant-Colone w. Z. Lank and
give him the name of the friend or
relative and, if possible, the regi-
ment and company he was in. If it
is not possible to give the regiment
and company, give him the name
and he can find out from the gov
ernment archives the regiment and
company.
When this is ascertained the gov
ernment will supply a suitable mar
ker and the local Legion post will
place it on the grave and will take
over the care of the grave and from
time to time decorate it with flags
or flowers.

SENATE APPROVES
FOR HOLDING OF
RUM CONVENTION
Passes Hawke Measure
For Delegates To Pass
On Repeal Amendment.
HAD BARE MAJORITY
Keith Hits Provision AL
lowing Election Of I'm
committed Delegates.

The Senate Monday afternoon, by
a vote of to s, passed Representa-
tive Hawkes. bill to provide for con-
ventions of II delegates, elected at
large, to act on amendments to the
United States Constitution, which
may be proposed by Congress for
ratification by the States.
The bill will now go to Governor
Buck for his approval. If 1t becomes
law, the way will be paved for set
ting up the machinery for a conven-
tiOn to ratify or disapprove the pro-
posed 21st Amendment, which would
repeal the 18th Amendment.
Under the Hawke measure, seven
delegates are to be residents of New
Castle County, and five, each, in
Kent and Sussex counties. The date
of the election would be fixed by
the Governor. The convention would
be held on the 2Sth day after the
election. There would be three
classes of candidates, as follows:
For ratification, against ratification,
and uncommitted.
Senator Keith pointed to the dan
gers of having uncommitted candi-
dates. He said the measure does not
invoice the wet aand dry question
alone.
Senator Latchum cOntended the
bill does not provide for repre-
sentative vote for the people of Kent
and Sussex. He claimed the issue
and the vote would be carried by the
city of Wilmington, regardless Of
what Kent and Sussex may desire,
since the delegates are to be elected
at large.
Senator Glenn replied the people
in Kent and Sussex will vote for the
Wilmington delegates, just as VIII
mington people viii vote for Kent
and Sussex delegates.
The vote follows Yeas Senators
Cannon, Davis, Frasher, Glenn, Grit
fenberg, McIntire, Neugebauer, Van

ATTEMPTS TO SOAR UP INTO
 STRAT0SPHERE
B alloon Ascends Fiv e Thousand Feet, then 1t
 Comes Down, Chicago

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 5.-Lieut Commander T. G. w. Settle took off at 5 o'clock this morning, Gen. tral Time, in the balloon Century of Progress on scientific explor- ation of the stratosphere.
 The balloon ascended 5000 feet and Settle pulled the valve in or der. to level off. For awhile the valve stuck and the balloon came down and landed on the Burlington Railroad tracks, 100 feet east of the Chicago River.
 Settle was not injured.
 Second Attempt
 As soon as repairs are made to the balloon, Settle will attempt an ascension again. The damage to the balloon was slight.
 Curious spectators smoking ciga- rettes and cigars and lighting matches near the inflamable hy- drogen filled bag constituted a menace.
 An unidentified man was tram pied and seriously injured in the rush to the spot. Traffic was para lyzed for a radius of more than a mile in all directions.
