LAST TOLL HOUSE IN

occupied as residence, and for the
past fifteen years was owned and &C.

died some months ago. Cookie" as
he was Familiarity known, was pecu-

with the "outlaw" races, which held
sway in this section in the early min

Mr.. Earle believed there was some
eventual promise of prohibiting the
taking of sponge crabs through the
NRA, under which most of the pack

Such an agreement in both Maryland
and Virginia would eliminate this
problem so serious to this State, he
said, and pave the way for increased
production with which new markets
in the Middle West could be opened.

Monday morning at 1O:45 in the Kent
General Hospital, Dover. He had fir
ed one bullet from his service re-
volver through his body near his heart
The 26-year-old State policeman,
who was attached to the station near
Bridgeville, had been on duty until IL
o'clock Saturday night and following
his work drove Miss Hurley to her
home in Bethel. After chatting for
while he left and about half hour
later, he returned and blew his horn
to call Miss Hurley to the car. When
she came Williams asked her to get
him glass of water and upon her re-
turn, he told her that he was shot.
Assisted by Miss Hurley, he was able
to stagger into the house from which
place DR.. H. M. Manning, of Seaford,
was summoned, as well as State Off
GERS at Bridgeville.
DR.. Manning had Williams removed
to the hospital using the ambulance &C
quired only the day previous by the
Seaford Volunteer Fire Department.
Williams only explanation was that
he had shot himself, using his service
revolver. The bullet missed his heart
by inches.
After entering the chest the bullet
took downward course through the
mans stomach and out his back.
Williams was operated upon imme-
diately on arrival at the hospital. Sup
erintendent Reynolds made an inves-
tigation. Financial difficulties were

PRINCESS ANNE HOTEL
HAS CHANGED HANDS

Washington Hotel, one of Somerset
county's landmarks and widely known
throughout the nation, is under new
management for the first time since
1908.
w. F. Roach, Delaware hotel opera
tor l one who has had years of
experience in the hotel business, has
leased the hotel and assumed charge
Friday, March LIST.
Mr.. Roach is married: has three
sons, one of whom is married and a
daughter of high school age. The
members of his family will reside in
Princess Anne.
The Washington Hotel has, since
1908, been under the direct manage
ment and personal supervision Of Mr..
J. Douglas Wallop and Mrs. Wallop.
Mr.. Wallop came to Princess Anne
upon his retirement as pursur on the
steamer Virginia" plying between
Baltimore and Salisbury. He had
been in the employ of the steamship
company as acting pursur on various
steamers since he was seventeen years
of age.
Under Mr.. Wallop's management
the Washington Hotel enjoyed great
prosperity and fame, and it's cuisine
has been the theme of countless writ
er and journalists from all sections of
America.
Established according to well au-
thenticated tradition, in 1851, during
the reign of George II, the old hos
telry has served generations of Shore
men, and it's halls and stairway have
echoed the tread and voices of many
of the Nations great men.
The new management will seek to
preserve and guard the traditions of
the old hotel, while at the same time
injecting a spirit of modernity into
it's service.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallop's plans are at
present somewhat indefinite. Mr..
Wallop has been in i'll health for some
time, and this is one of the prime fac
tors in his determination to relin-
quish control of the hotel. For the
time being the Wallops w reside
at Mr.. Wallop's old home at Horn
town, Virginia.

GRABBING SEASON SEEMS
TO AUGUR NO SUCCESS

A grabbing season promising no inn
provement over that of 1884 and far
inferior to the peak of 1881 is the
outlook for this year, Swepson Earle,
State Conservation Commissioner, re-
ported.
A combination of hard winter and
Virginia's act of 1882 authorizing the
taking of sponge crabs in it's waters
were "the positive Indications upon
which Mr.. Earle made his prediction.
The forecast means, the commits
sioner said, that Maryland will have
a limited output and that this condi-
tion will affect employment and la
boris earnings. 1t also means, he add
ed, that it will be two years at least
before any marked improvement may
be expected. 1t takes crab two years
to attain maturity.
Reviewing the situation Mr.. Earle
said Maryland's output in 1881 had
been 100000 barrels of hard crabs and
100000 peelers and soft crabs. This
peak production, the commissioner be-
ieves, was due to favorable weather
conditions and to Virginia's decision in
1926 to forbid the taking of the sponge
or egg-bearing, female crabs.
In 1882, however, Virginia withdrew
the ban and this has had as much, if
not more, than anything else to do
with the steady declining production
since then, Mr.. Earle feels. Each
sponge crab produces about a half
million eggs and lays them near the
mouth of the Chesapeake Tin Virgin
las donain), where the water is salt
Ter than in Maryland. Each sponge
crab taken in such a condition, there
fore removes a potential half million
crabs from the bay.
The steady decline in production
during the last four years, Mr.. Earle
said, is evident in the figures for last
year, when only 10000 barrels of
hard crabs and only 5000 peelers and
soft crabs were shipped to markets.
Moreover, employment as well as
output has shown a steady decline &C
cording to the commissioners figures.
Four years ago, there were 3,O12 per-
sons employed in sixty-one Maryland
packing houses. Last year, the num-
Der of active packing houses had been
reduced to an even fifty. In addition,
there is the consideration of reduced
earnings per person during the four
year period, for packers in the pack
ing houses as paid by the pound and
do not earn as much when business is
slack and the output limited.
The season will open this year as
it has in the past in Worcester county

reason for his act.

reason for his act.
His body was removed to the home
of his parents in Millsboro from which
place funeral services were held We'd
nesday afternoon. Mr.. Williams had
made great many friends in Seaford
many of whom attended his late rites.
A peculiar feature of his act is the
fact that he is the third person of
Seaford affiliation to take his life
during the past two weeks, one other
suicide being chronicled in this issue
of the Leader and one last week.
