PAY FOR ASSEMBLYMEN
Every Evening.

There is quite an effort be-
ing made and much time is
being wasted by some men,
bers of the General Assembly
now in session, says the State
Sentinel, in an effort to secure
per diem pay for themselves
by various and sundry
m e t h DDS and und e r
various and sundry names
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Constitution of the State
of Delaware prohibits more
than thirty days compensa-
ton for the members at any
extraordinary session. Con-
tinuing, the Sentinel says:
eve personally see no rea-
son why the members of the
Legislature should work with
out pay, but do not believe in
securing that pay by a subter-
fuge. The trainers of the
Contitution, however, evil
IDENTIFY conceived this pay linn
itation so that the law-mak-
ing body would do it's work in
a reasonable time and adjourn
and thereby not burden the
State with unnecessary ex-
pense. 1t was never intended
that a Legislature should dill
ly-dally the way this one has
done and the sooner it gets
away from Dover, the better
it will be for the members
regulations and for the good
of the State.

that we could raise more
money here if necessary.
Doubtless we could, says the
Morning News, but "the Fed
eral government evidently
does not understand how tax
es tackle the people of this
State from every direction.
We pay a Federal tax and a
State income tax, is surely
high enough and county and
city taxes on property and
various other taxes. And
Delaware is among the lead
erS, the first, two or three in
the per capita of payments to
the Fe deral government
through income taxes. All
things considered the amount
paid by this State is enor-
nous. No need for any help
and this in face of reports
that 1000 persons are ill, only
six dollars food relief for fam
lilies of ten and no coal for
many after tie relief cut. AS
always physicians are giving,
in many cases, their services
free of charge. High praise
is certainly due the medical
societies for their splendid ex-
ample of unselfshness. But
in many instances there are
no funds with which to pay
for the prescriptions.

FEDERAL RELIEF AID

Many Delawareans will be
somewhat disappointed by
the statement that the FEEDER

DELAWARE STANDS OUT

ON~~ - - eNNS0h NSiAAo w ~
statement made public at
Washington, a few days ago,
is the lone State that has not
participated in Reconstruc-
ton ance Corporation
loans to closed banks for pay
ment of depositors. Every
one of the other AZ States
borrowed sub S t an t i a |
amounts.
1t will be recalled that, a
year ago, when the COVER
nors of States all over the
country began to decree bank
holidays for their States, as
means of protecting their
financial institutions, Della
ware had no need, of its own
making, for doing so, and was
loath to take the step.
Our State, we believe, was
the last to suspend banking
prior to the general bank hol-
iday order Of President
Roosevelt, issued on March A.
last year, and did SO voluntar-
lily, prior to the issuance of
that order, only because the
surrounding States had done
so and because it would have
been folly for Delaware to
have held back longer.
An examination of the fig
ures explains, better than
anything else, perhaps, how
fortunate Delaware really has
been in the matter of stability
of its banks; how well it has
been able to manage its own
banking affairs, and how un-
fortunate in this respect some
of the other States have been.
The figures, quoted from
the current issue of the
American Banker, show that
the heaviest borrower from
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, for payment to
depositors of closed banks.
was Michigan, which obtained
S172,426,832.43, which was
used in the rehabilitation of
ITO banks. Ohio came next,
with S148,5O2,646.26, which
went to LOT banks. Pennsyl-
vania was third, with $685.
958,71O.01, with which 225
banks were helped. This was
the largest number of banks
in any one State that receiv-
ed assistance from this
source.
All told, loans were author
lied to 2,163 banks up to this
March Is throughout the
country with which to make
payments to depositors. The
total amount Of money involv-
ed was 1892, $685. 45.66.
In addition, the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation has
authorized the purchase OF
$1,043,117,350 of preferred
stock in 6,331 open banks. OF
this $557, 213, 900 has actually
been advanced to 1850 insti-
buttons.

Work on Warrant
BIZ United Press


TORONTO, Ontario, March 49,
Details of the warrant under which
Martin j. insult, former Chicago
utility magnate, will be eXtradited
to the United States will be COM
pleted today before Chief Justice Sir
William Mulock.
Counsel for insult are anxious to
have the warrant revised from its
original form, which was based on
three charges of theft. The court
of appeal here last Friday, threw out
one count of the deposition order,
and reduced another from 100000
to $4,000.
Joseph Sedgewick of the attorney
generals department, who is acting
for Cook county, explained that
insult can only be tried in Illinois
on the charges on which he is ex-
tradited and that it was highly i'm
portant to the defense that the
order be corrected in detail. No
new charge can be laid against In
sull after his return to the United
States and if he is acquitted on
those charges in which he is ex-
tradited, he must be given rea-
sonable time in which to leave the
country again.
Meanwhile insult is confined to the
hospital ward of the city Jail, a
privilege extended to all prisoners
over so. officers from Chicago are
expected to arrive today and In
sull will be taken back to Chicago
as soon as the eXtradition warrant
has been completed.

KIDNAPPED IS
BLUNK'S CLAIM
Crown Point Officer Held at
SEVERN, Jail Here,
He Charges.
By Times Special

By Times Special
CROWN POINT, Ind, March 10.
"A conference was scheduled today
between Ernest Bunk, star witness
in the John Dillinger escape, and
his attorney, Allen Twyman, to de-
termine whether kidnapping charges
would be filed against state au-
thorities.
After being held thirty-six hours
against his will, Blunk was per-
mitted to return to his home here
from Indianapolis.
During mis- stay in Indianapolis,
he was held in the SEVERN hotel as
well as the city prison.
Upon his return, Bunk reiterated
his innocence OF any collision N
the escape of the desperate and told
reporters he was informed of the
probability that felony charges
might be pressed against him.
He was reticent about the alleged
third degree given him during his
stay in the hotel and the city
prison.
They took me first to the SEVERN,
where I was questioned by Deputy
Acknowledgement Edward BARGE
and three state investigators"
Bunk said.
About o'clock Friday, they took
me to the city jail, where I was
held incommunicado. 1t was here
that BARGE told me that he would
place felony charge against me
if I didn't come through with the
real story" Bunk said.
They showed me statements
made by several other persons
which make it look bad for me.
don't see how any one can tell lies
like they did, if true copies of their
statements we're shown to me" the
fingerprint expert declared.
At the time that Bunk declared
he was in the city Jail, Police Chief
Mike Morrissey, Indianapolis, and
Jail turkeys we're vehement in the
declaration that the key witness OF
the Dillinger escape was not in the
city prison.
indianapolis newspapers were
given the run around" in their
search for Bunk.
At a habeaS corpus hearing Sat-
urdy afternoon, Chief Morrissey did
not produce Bunk in a Marion SUI
perior court.
He told Mr.. Twyman it was his
understanding that his client had
returned to Crown Point. Shortly
afterward, the attorney verified the
truth Of the police chiefs assertion.
Bunk was expected to appear be-
fore a Lake county grand jury today
to relate what he knew of the
Crown Point Jail break.
He is said to have told state in
vestigators that Dillinger had real
gun instead of a wooden one. Dill
linger is purported to have obtained
the gun from a box of soap carried
into the cell block the morning Of
the escape by Sam Cahoon, jail
truSty.
