Old Satch hit the German with
one of chose swishing right handlers
OF his, near the close of the fourth.
The blow opened deep cash over
Neusels right eye, from which blood

mumbled something about German

which happened not to be the cor

NTEUSEL came into the ring wear

TO indicate he had confused the
identity of his opponent. He looked
like Max Baer the night the magni-

appointment with Louis. He looked
frightened. This was easily the
greatest tribute that has ever been
paid to Old SatCh. 1t must be those

To be fair about it, Neusel is the

GASOLINE GOES UP A CENT
Lnrease Due to Law to Help Fin
ance State Road Work

The State tax on gasoline, now
three censt a gallon, will be in
creased to four cents a gallon, be-
ginning Monday. This was author
lied by a bill passed by the recent
General Assembly. This act was a
part of the general program of
legislation transferring control of
all highways and bridges in each of
the three counties to the State
Department. The addi-
tional levy, it is estimated, will re-
turn the State an annual revenue
of approximately 100000 in addi-
tion to the amount received from
the present tax. This money will
be diverted to the highway depart
ment to help finance the additional
cost of upkeep and maintenance of
the county roads which will come
within its jurisdiction. These trans
fers also became effective Monday.

In the offices of the State Motor
Vehicle Department at Dover the
addressographs are working over
time this week. They are pre-
pairing to mail official notices of the
seventh annual automobile inspec-
ton campaign to everyone of the

1t is estimated that this will re-
quire ten days, beginning the past
Monday, and the first notices will
be forwarded from Dover, July 8.
BY July 13 it is expected that the
last ones will have been sent out.
The campaign opens July is and

nance and improvement, beginning
Monday. 1t will give the State
control of some 727 miles of coun-
ty roads and highways in New

and 1918 in Sussex. The county
engineering forces in all three
counties will be automatically abol-
ished by act of the Legislature. In
the case of New Castle, Alban p.

cepted a position with the right-o
way department Of the State High
way Department. Mr.. Shaw, how
ever, will be occupied this week at
his Office in the county end of the

The newly formed Smyrna base
ball team journeyed to the State
Capital Saturday afternoon and
trimmed the Dover nine to Q.
Smyrna started the game with
some ostly errors in the first and
second innings but for this would
have shut Dover completed out. In
the fourth inning Smyrna settled
down into some real ball playing
making four runs. From then on
they held steady, adding two more
runs in the seventh. The fine bat
terry work of Seward and Robinson
was a feature of the game. The
playing and hitting of little Sonny
Grier of West Smyrna (Spruance
City,, who was not of the regular
team, but only a substitute, out
fielder, was applauded. Grier, who
is only a school boy IA years of
age, showed he could hit the ball
n the right pinches and assisted
Smyrna to make some runs. The
lineup for Smyrna was: c. Jacobs,
IS; Knight, IF; Burris. 3b; Robinson
c; Stevenson, If; Hutchins, 1b;

TO WIDEN OLD
C AND D CANAL
Expect Work to Start in Aug
ust and Employ Up
wards of 1000 Men
ALTERATION TO BRIDGES

Invitations for bids by contrac-
tors for widening and deepening of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Can
al for accommodation of ocean YES
sells will be advertised during the
first two weeks of July by the u. S.
Army Engineers. Actual work on
the improvement of the canal to
the project depth of 27 feet and
width at the bottom of $50 feet,
will probably start early in August.
The President has approved the in
itial expenditure of S5,107 900 for
the work to be done in the next
fiscal year. Dredging of the canal
will start at Court House Point, in
the Elk River, about 1000 feet be-
low the mouth of Back Creek and
proceed toward Chesapeake City,
Md; dry excavation will be be-
tween the Pennsylvania Railroad
Bridge, west of st. Georges, Del,
to Bethel, Md, and will start at
both points simultaneously. The
Army Engineers are having plans
prepared for altering highway
bridges to accommodate the wider
and deeper channel. Indications
are that extensive alterations to
the Reedy Point and st. Georges
Bridges, and minor alterations to
Summit Bridge, will be necessary.
1t is expected that one thousand
men, to be employed directly by
the contractors receiving awards,
will be taken off the relief rolls of
Delaware and Maryland when op-
erations start. AS far as possible,
these men will be taken from the
vicinity of the canal SO that no
camps will be necessary, the work
ers going to and from the area
daily, and their pay will thus be
returned to be spent in their own
neighborhoods. Directions of the
entire project will be under Lieu
tenant Colonel John c. H. Lee, Dis
trict Engineer, Philadelphia; his
assistants are Lieutenant Howard
Ker, military assistant in charge of
the canal, Harry K. Doyle, engin-
eer, in charge of dry excavation,
Martin G.. Moore, assistant engin-
eer, in charge of dredging, and R.
Y. Taggart, assistant engineer, op-
Grafton and maintenance.

William Pruitt, 25, alleged muir
derer of Kelly c. Terry, 80, about
midnight, aSturday night, in
roadhouse on Washington avenue,
extended, Chestertown, Md, was
apprehended at Bel Air, following
an all-night search of the entire
Eastern Shore. He is now in the
Chestertown jail, nervous, though
denying he was the man who stab
bed Terry to death. Parties of Of
ficers secured the Eastern Shore
led by Sheriff John N Bennett,
Deputy Sheriff John N.Bennett. Jr.,
State Policeman j. F. Blackstone,
Former Sheriff John Vickers, and
several deputies. He was brought
to Chestertown by Vickers and the
state policeman after having been

oner's jury presided over by DR.
Frank w. Smith, coroner, returned
verdict that Kelly c. Terry came
to his death by means of knife in
the hands of William Pruitt Act
ing States Attorney Thomas F.
Healey questioned a score of wit
nesses. They stated that the argu-
ment started in a tavern managed
by Olin D. Stafford, when Pruitt
asked Mrs. Terry to dance with
him. The latter refused. Wit
nesses said Pruitt then made a
sighting remark to her and her
husband walked over to him and
said: Don't you know you have no
right to insult other mems wives ?"
1t is said Pruitt then pulled knife
and stabbed Terry through the
heart. The latter dying almost in
stantly. Mrs. Terry started to
struggle with Pruitt and Thomas
Hickman, one of the dancers,
knocked him down. The fatal dis
pute is said to be the second quar-
rel between the two men, the first
having occurred at a roadhouse in
the Morgnec section of the county
two years ago. They are both ma
tives of North Carolina and Pruitt
has been out under $500 bail after
having been arrested for bootleg
ging in Kent ounty. After being
taken to Chestertown he was ident-
flied by Hickman as the man who
stabbed Terry and by a number of
others in the dance hall. The 25-
year-old wife is Frustrated and un-
der a physicians care. Mr.. and
Mrs. Terry's home is in Queen
Anne's county, across the Chester
river bridge from Chestertown. The
alleged murderer will, it is said, be
held for action of the October
term of Kent County Criminal
Court. The coroner's inquest re-
vealed that though several persons
saw Pruitt strike his victim none
saw the knife.

OF
KENT SPRAYED
Outlook Is For a Fine Crop of
Grapes in Central Part
of. Delaware
BLACK ROT CONTROLLED

With the application of the 10
day spray of Bordeaux, which was
applied just before the grapes
touch each other in the clusters,
grape growers have completed
their spraying program for this
season as far as black rot control
is concerned. Those growers who
have consistently sprayed their
vineyards from the early delayed
dormant application up to and in
cluding the so-called "pea-stage"
spray should not experience much
trouble with the black rot unless
there was a heavy carry-over of
this disease on those canes which
have been tied up for fruit produc-
tion this year. Within the past
two weeks several vineyards in
Kent county have been visited by
DIR. Thomas F. Manns, plant path
ologist of the Delaware experiment
station, and County Agent Russell
E. Wilson, and it was observed that
the grape growers as a whole have
sprayed their vineyards this sea-
son more thoroughly than they
have during the past few years.
This situation should result in a de-
cided reduction in the prevalence
of all funguous diseases in these
vineyards, and the production of a
crop of marketable grapes this
fall. Under normal weather con6i-
tions the five-spray program, as
recommended by the Delaware ex-
pertinent station, is sufficient to
carry a vineyard through the sea-
