LOSES LICENSE BUT
LIQUOR STILL HERS
Fined 5000 And Costs For Driving
While Drunk.

Mrs. Edna Dill last week lost her
drivers license as result of an au-
tomobile collision near Milford, but
she still has the gallon jug OF Ii
quor that was at Least indirectly re-
sponsible for her plight.
Mrs Dill's car on Saturday even
ing, June IL, crashed into an auto
mobile occupied by Miss Doris II.
Ridgley, daughter of Magistrate
Charles dupont Ridgley; Miss Ethel
Hartman, Arthur Register and Will
liam Bowers, all of Wyom-
ing. The car turned over twice and
Miss Ridgley's face was badly cut,
Bowers suffered a broken knee cap
and Miss Hartman, a possible hip
fracture.
The following day Mrs. Dill was
aTraigned before Magistrate Must
ard at Georgetown on charge of
driving while drunk and fined 5000
and costs.
The conviction resulted in the au-
tomato revocation of her license to
drive a car But she was allowed to
retain possession of the gallon jug
and partly filled pint bottle of liquor
found in the car as a result of the
liberalization of the State liquor
laws which permits the transporta-
ton of any quantity of liquor, pro-
vided it is not for resale.

Move Launched For

CiUic Leaders To Ask Governor For Surrey of Pro

Delaware business men and pub

States share-possibly three and a
half million dollars-of the $780,
100000 for public works provided by
the Federal government in the re-

The first move was a petition to
the Governor to appoint immediate

Statewide survey of proposals and
projects that could come under the
Federal measure.
The amount Delaware will get
was conservatively estimated at $3,-
100000 of which about $1,500,000
would be for highway construction
and improvements. Business men fa-

this would not be necessary because

STATE WELFARE HOME
DAMAGED BY VANDALS
Discharged Employees Suspected OF
Doing The Damage At Smyrna

Workmen who were discharged at
the Old Age Welfare Home at Smyr-
ma are suspected of having vented
their spite on their former emyloy-
ers by breaking into the home and
wrecking the decorative plaster trim
and plaster cornices in about 20
rooms early Sunday morning, ac-
cording to a report made to the at
torney generals office.
Martin Schilbred, of the William
Steel & Sons Company, general con-
tractors on the job, said the damage
amounted to about $500. 1t consist
ed of the smashing apparently with
axes, of the decorative cornices and
beads of plaster and metal. There
was a watchman stationed on the
building, but due to its size and due
to the fact that there was no hard
ware on the windows surreptitious
entrance into the building was easy.
The vandals apparently entered
the building by one of the windows
and slipped upstairs. With axes or
matches they smashed the cornices
and decorative plaster work j. c.
Shawdee, clerk of the work for the
State, said he had been informed of
the matter but had no knowledge OF
the extent of the damage.

SALARIES TO BE CUT

SALARIES TO BE CUT

Under the annual .readjustment
made by the POstOffice Department
at Washington, as announced on
Monday, Delaware will lose one of
her three first-class postoffices. Mil
ford postoffice is to be reduced from
the first to the second class. The
change will become effective July L.
At the same time two other post
offices will be reduced from the sec
end to the third class and five more
will be reduced from the third to the
fourth class.
The changes will be accompanied
by reductions in the salaries of the
postmasters in the respective offices.
The changes are made on basis OF
the annual receipts at each place.
The Bridgeville and Delmar offices
which are now rated in the second
class, will be reduced to the third
class. The postoffices at Cannon,
Cheswold, Hartly, Lincoln and st.
Georges, which are now in the third
class, will be reduced to the fourth
class.
Ninety POstOfiices In State
There are 80 postoffices in the
State and only three, Wilmington.
Dover and Milford are at present
rated in the first class.
Until last year the postal re-
ceipts at Milford ranked next to
Wilmington. Due to business condi-
tions here the local receipts have
fallen off. AS it was, Milford just
narrowly missed the first class rat
ing.
William S. Murphy is postmaster
at Milford. His term expires in July,
1884. The salary for this Office Is
$4,000 a year but under the second
rating the salary will be reduced to
$4,000.
At Bridgeville, where the office is
now in second class, b. p. Jones was
appointed postmaster only a week
ago for term of four years. With
the reduction of the office TO third
class his salary will be reduced to
about S14OO to $500 a year. The
same reduction in pay will apply to
the postmaster at Delmar when that
office is reduced from second to
third class.
Receipts Determine Salaries
In the third class postothces
where they are reduced to fourth
class the salary of the postmaster
will be reduced to about 500 to $500
a year which is the average salary

Governor c. Douglas Buck has re-
ceived a petition signed by virtually
every member of the Delaware State
Bar Association, urging that he re-
appoint Chancellor Josiah o. VOL
colt when his term expires June 29-
The Governor has taken the petition
under advisement. He has not made
any appointment in the Chancellor
ship, nor in three other judiciary
appointments which he will have to
make soon two of them by the end
of June.D
The last section of the petition
urging Chancellor Wolcott's reap
pointment follows:
1.-THE administration of the office
of Chancellor by its present incum-
bent, under all of these difficulties,
has been such as to command the
admiration and respect not only of
the Bar of Delaware, but of every
one else-lawyers, business men, liti-
gants, nvestors-whOse duty or in
terest has brought him in contact
with the Court of Chancery.
I'm view of the foregoing facts
and for the foregoing reasons, the
undersigned respectfully recommend
to your excellency the name of the
Honorable Josiah o. Wolcott for re-
appointment as Chancellor of the

sweeping ahead so swiftly, they
pointed out, that accurate estimates
are out of the question at this time.
Among the projects which in
many quarters it is confidently ex-
pected will be undertaken with the
funds Delaware will receive from
the Federal Government, is includ-
ed a second new high school for
Wilmington.
1t was pointed out by one who has
kept in close touch with the econo-
mic condition of the State, that the
Governor recently vetoed some 80
odd public works projects authoriz-
ed in the last session of the State
Legislature, totalling about $514,0OO.
1t is felt that many, if not all, of
these projects, are likely to be car
ried through with funds provided
under the Industrial Recovery Bill.
Survey May Require Two Weeks
The survey of the special COM
mission is expected to require not
more than two weeks.
Fears of some business men that
all these projects will impose too
heavy a debt burden on the State
are being allayed by the argument

this bill requires the two-thirds vote
of two consecutive sessions of the
Legislature, it will have to be acted
one favorably by the 1885 General

signed petitions circulated for the
past four weeks, in various parts OF
the State, asking Governor Buck to
set aside December Z, each year, as

to have a statute enacted designat-
ing the day as a State holiday, and
providing for appropriate exercises
during the week in the public
schools.
The movement was launched the
second week in May of this year, but
it was not until Monday, May l5 that
it was given out to the public. 1t
originated with Prof. E. Paul Burk-
holder, who thinks there should be
an observance of the ratification of
