CRUEL MURDER OF
CHESWOLD MOOR
Frank Mosley, Who Brought
Stranger Over From Salem,
New Jersey, Left to Die
OF $4,000

Frank Mosley, well known and
respected Moor of Cheswold, was
beaten and robbed by a stranger
he had befriended early Friday
morning and left on the highway,
died at the Delaware Hospital, Will
mington, where he was taken. The
assault took place half mile
south of State Road. The Moor
drove to Salem, N. J., Thursday,
with load of hogs from his farm,
near Cheswold, and sold them at a
live stock sale. After the sale the
man who later attacked Mosley
approached him, and asked him
where he was going. Mosley re-
piled that he was going to Ches-
wold. The other man said that he
was going to Millsboro and asked
Mosley to take him as far as Ches-
wold. Mosley assented. State
Police are working on the theory
that the unidentified man attended
the sale as hanger on" and
planned to rob Mosley, having seen
what the latter was paid for his
hogs. The body was turned over
to Coroner George A. Pedrick, fol-
lowing Mosley's death. An autopsy
was performed by DR. w. N. Fen
more, coroner's physician, who
found death due to a fracture of
the skull, the victim having been
struck on the left side Of the head
with a blunt instrument, believed
to be a wrench. The only other
marks on Mosley were abrasions of
the forehead and nose, apparently
suffered when he fell No money
was found on Mosley's person, the
only articles in his possession being
d check book and an automobile
drivers license. Before he lapsed
into Inconsistencies and died in
the Wilmington General Hospital,
Mosley said his assailant was a
white man, weighed between 165
and 10 pounds, five feet six or
seven inches tall, wearing a dark
suit and black cap. Two arrests
were made down State, but be
cause of insufficient evidence they
were released. Mrs Cora F.
Mosley, widow of the slain man,
also described as Moor, accom-
panied by Mosley's parents, Return
and Sophie Mosley also Of Ches-
void, identified Mosley and claimed
the body The funeral was held at
dupont, Delaware, just above Do
yer.

NO MORE LAME
DUCK" CONGRESS
Delaware Joins Sc States to
Ratify 10th Amendment
To the Constitution
MEASURE IS NOW A LAW

After ten years of trying, and a
hundred Of waiting, the United
States modernized its political ma
chine Minday by eliminating de-
feated officials the lame ducks -
from Government. A twentieth
amendment was written into the
Constitution declaring that after
this year both the President and
the newly chosen Congress shall
take office the January following
NoVember's election, and that the
old time-short session which for so
long has clogged the political ma
chinery with its ineffectiveness,
shall be held no more The pres
ent one IS the last Thirty-six
states of the Union of which Della
ware was one Of them, ratified the
amendment in less than one-tenth
the time it took to convince Con-
gress that the country demanded
abolition of this numbering anti
guilty. Though actually part Of the
Constitution from Monday on, the
amendment win not be proclaimed
in force until the Secretary of
State receives the 36th formal rec
ord Of State action. By its own
terms it will not take effect until
October IS. Had it been in force
last October Franklin D. Roosevelt
would be in the White House today.
Now when the people record their
will at the ballot box in November,
the men they send to Congress
will begin to function within two
months. Hitherto the new repre-
sentatives have had to twiddle
their thumbs for thirteen months
Until December of the next year
while the country has been given
legislation sponsored, framed and
put through in part by men who
have been specifically repudiated
by the voters.

FOR
HOME TEACHERS
Is Sought In Bill introduced
in State Legislature Yes
terday Afternoon
MUST QUALIFY FIRST

Residents of Delaware who want
to become teachers in the public
schools of this State will be given
the preference over non-residents if
a bill introduced in the House yes
terday afternoon by Representative
Green should become a law. 1t
is claimed by Mr.. Green and others
that in the past few years young
women who have graduated from
the Women's College, University
of Delaware, after taking a teach
ers training course have often been
refused teaching positions that
were given to residents from other
states. The Green bill would make
it unlawful for the State Board of
Education or any Board of Educa-
tion or trustees of any public
school district to contract with any
person to teach in the public
schools of the State who has not
been a bona fide resident of the
State for at least one year previous
to the time such contract is made
Teachers, however, serving in Del
aware must qualify for the posi-
ton. They must either be a grad
uate of the Teachers Training
Course Of the University of Della
ware or some institution of equal
standing within or without the
State. The intention Of the bill in
troduced is to give those maintain
ing residence in Delaware, a
preference over other states, if
their qualifications are up to the
mark. Such a bill, if it passes,
would materially affect the
teaching staffs of many schools in
Delaware as in most cases more
than fifty per cent Of such staffs
are made up from teachers of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jer-
sey and other States. Just what
prospect Mr.. Green's bill has of
passing is not known, but there
will be opposition.

WHEN INMATES MOVE

DR.. C. J. Prickett and Former
State Senator Hervey p Hall of
this town, members of the Board
of Trustees of the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst, as well as
other members of the Board, are
Joining with their efficient Super
intendent of the institution DR.. M.
A. Tarumianz, in an effort to have
the State take over the old New
Castle County Home for the Poor,
situated on practically the same
grounds adjoining the State Hos
pital, and converting it for State
Hospital use. DR.. TarumianZ and
members of the Board have been
in conference with Governor G.
Douglass Buck on the needs of the
hospital. They have also discussed
the subject with members of the
Legislature 1t is the purpose of
the trustees to acquire the New
Castle County Hospital building at
Farnhurst as soon as it is abandon
ed and the patients removed to the
new State Welfare Home being
built at Smyrna. The State Hos
pital is badly overcrowded and the
trustees claim that with the ac-
QUESTION of the county building,
this condition can be relieved.
There is room for 400 or more pa
tients in the county building. While
it would cost about $240,0O0 to
properly equip it as an adjunct to
the State Hospital, it could be fit
ted for temporary use for about
$4,000 and the trustees are under
stood to be planning to seek an ap-
preparation of this amount. If it
is granted they will not ask for
any further appropriations for new
buildings at this session.

REPEAL OF KLAIR
LIQUOR LAW SEEN
Bills introduced in Both HOus-
es of Delaware Legislature
on Monday Afternoon
VETS CLAIM VICTORY

Outright repeal of the Klair law,
Delaware's enforcement act under
the Eighteenth Amendment, is pro
vided for in two bills introduced in
the General Assembly Monday af
ternoon. One of them made its
appearance in the Senate, being Of
fered by Senator Edward l. Glenn,
of Wilmington, and the other was
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Leroy F. Hawke, of Will
mington. The two bills are identi-
cal, and the reason for presenting
two of them was not explained.
They were referred to the Temper
ance Committee in each branch
The Klair law was passed March
21, 1919. 1t is more stringent or
"air-tight" than the Volstead law
itself, as it not only prohibits the
possession of any liquor of an al
coholic content of more than one
half of one per cent, but it pro-
hibits physicians from prescribing
liquor in any form for medicinal
purposes. Several attempts have
been made by previous Legisla-
lures to repeal or amend the law
but all have failed. The law as it
now stands on the books is to re-
main operative as long as the
Eighteenth Amendment remains in
the Constitution of the United
States. When this Amendment is
repealed then the Klair law dies,
according to the provisions as set
out in the act itself. The Klair law
was drawn in accordance with the
Eighteenth Amendment and is vir-
tually worded the same as the Fed
eral act Speedy action is predict
ed for the repeal for the measure
as offered Monday Whether the
Senate or the House bill will take
precedence has not been determined
The temperance committee in both
Houses are in control of the friends
of the measure and an early and
favorable report by committees are
anticipated. In the Senate the vets
are said to control IL votes, thereby
insuring adoption of the bill. Yes
terday an effort was made to hear
both the ''wets" and the "drys" on
the measure but without avail.

EARLY MORNING
FIRE AT LEIPSIC
Old Basket Factory, Used By
Wilbert Rawley as a St0r-
age, Prey to Flames
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $500

Smyrna firemen were called out
at two o'clock Saturday morning
to a fire alarm sent in from Leipsic
that the old basket factory of that
place was on fire. In good time
firemen with their truck made the
six-mile journey over the concrete
road from Smyrna to Leipsic. Do
yer firemen were also summoned.
The fire, however, had gained such
impetus that neither fire company
could do anything to save the
building which was almost totally
destroyed They did do splendid
work in keeping the fire from
spreading to other buildings. The
fire broke out about two o'clock in
the morning, when everybody was
asleep and the town was quiet.
The building is owned by Wilbert
Rawley, the well known marsh and
property owner of Leipsic and a
director in the National Bank of
Smyrna. Mr.. Rawley had several
tons of hay stored In the bulldlnS
and this was literally tender to
the flames an made a hot fire. Mr..
Rawley places his loss at between
81 900 and 81, 800. The building,
years ago, was a f1ourishing indus
try of Leipsic and was used as a
basket factory when peaches made
this vicinity famous as a peach
center until the industry de-
clined. Due to the ''yellows," "
basket and crate factories and
the evaporator plants, went in
to discard, the Leipsic factory
with them. The latter plant
changed owners until it fell into
the possession of Mr.. Rawley, who
used what portion he could for
storage purposes. Thus another
land mark "of the peach days" has
gone. Whether Mr. Rawley will
rebuild is not yet determined, but
it will not be a basket mill as the
burned structure was familiarly
known for so many years.
