repeal of the dry law. 1t stated the
convention favored removal from
the Constitution of provision
wholly out of keeping with the prin-
ciples of this government in that it
attempts to control by force the per-
sonal habits of the people; to restore
conditions under which the evils fos-
tered by Federal prohibition may be
so dealt with as to prevent their re-
turn: to enable the nation and this
State to again take up with hope
of success a program of character
building among young and old that
will promote true temperance.
ITO this end" the resolution con-
tinues, 1.-The members of this con-
vention assert that they do not ig-
more any of the evils associated with

RELIEVED OF DUTIES
General Rowan Let Out; Only Four
Men On Active Duty

Brigadier General Willie Med.
Rowan, deputy prohibition admins
traitor for Delaware and three of his
active prohibition agents have been
placed on an indefinite furloush,
effective today, by order of Com
mander John ID. Pennington, FEEDER al
prohibition administrator for Penn
sylvania and Delaware. because Of
reduced government appropriations.
With the removal OF General Row
an and the three agents, Delaware
will have only four active agents to
carry ON the enforcement of the
Federal prohibition laws. w. w.
Marshall, a prohibition investigator
from Philadelphia, will come to Del
aware on Monday as acting deputy
prohibition administrator until fur
ther orders, upon appointment by
Commander Pennington.
The furlough orders issued We'd
nesday by Commander Pennington,
actually name General Rowan, viii
liam Salisbury, attorney; Agents
Earl Matthews, Raymond Newcom-
er, William Pinder and Chauncey
Spering. However, Mr.. Salisbury
was dropped from the payroll some
time ago and Newcomer had been
suspended several months ago and
indicted in middle Pennsylvania for
misconduct.
The active agents furloughed are
Matthews, Pinder and Spering.
The agents left in Delaware are
Ralph A. Silbaugh, Norman E. Jett,
Elmer E. Riggin and Felix O'Reilly.
Riggin and Jett have been on the
Delaware Prohibition unit the long
est. Miss Mildred Gooden is retain
ed as clerk in the Prohibition unit
here.
Commander Pennington issued
statement regarding the furloughs
in which he stated that he regretted
the necessity of making drastic re-
ductions in the number of his agents
and clerks, but, he explains, he has
been compelled to do so because of
cuts in the appropriations to the
Prohibition Bureau. He said he had
no other choice.
The furloughs do not in any way
reflect upon the efficiency and quail
ity of his men. Commander Penning-
ton added, and the men who do
leave the department, he said, have
all been efficient and loyal servants |
to the Federal government
General Rowan is a native of Ne
braska. He came to Delaware in
January of 1882, having been trans
ferred from Nebraska to relieve
Harold D. Wilson, who was sent to
take charge of the prohibition work
in Nebraska.
General Rowan is 65 years old and
served in the World War as colonel
with the 35th Division. 4

CONFER ON SPOILS
Discuss Some Proposed Appoint
ments With Congressman Adams

Considerable progress was made
on Tuesday in harmonizing political
differences between followers of the
Democratic State Committee and
Congressman Wilbur l.. Adams, the
States lone Representative in Con-
gress, when Adams met about 80
county committeeman and party
workers in a patronage conference.
Rumors during the past several
months claimed that there was a
vast difference of opinion between
Adams and the Kent Democratic
leadership. The cards were laid on
the table at Tuesdays conference
and the views were freely expressed.
The question of the appointment
of a collector of Internal Revenue
was discussed and it is said some
opposition was expressed to the can
didacy of former Senator Charles D.
Hardesty.

Law VIII Have License Rescinded

The fifth annual inspection OF
motor cars in Delaware will be held
from July Is to August 81, inclusive

the inspection will be more rigid

The inspection to be carried on by
the State Highway Commission, Sec
retary of States Office and the Della
ware Safety Council, will follow the
law as set forth in the recent act OF
the General Assembly. This act spe-
cities, that within the six weeks
time for inspection of motor cars
every one owning a car must have
it inspected at one of the four places
announced for car inspection. Those
who fail to have their car inspected
within this time, will have the Ii
cense issued to them this year re-
scinded. This latter provision, it is
said, is mandatory.
The locations in New Castle coun-
ty, Kent and Sussex counties will be
announced later. The inspection
zone will be moved from town to
town in each county so as to prove
of the greatest accommodation to
