CHAPTER XII

Kentucky Jones came into the Bar
off his horse at the door and went
pushing into the house. He made his
way straight to the little crank-slded
wall telephone, and belled Waterman.
1t was one OF the deputies who, aft
er prolonged delay. finally answered
from Sheriff Hnpper's office.

Over the line came the rattle of a
dropped receiver.
There followed protracted walt. 1t
seemed to Kentucky Jones that an
hour passed while he stood at the tele-
phone waiting for the deputy to return
But the wire opened again at last, and
1t was not the deputy who came back
to the phone.

said the small voice from Waterman

In the little pause Kentucky heard

close, and knew that Jean had come.

DIR. WHARTON
TO QUIT U. OF D.
Resignation Accepted by Uni
versity Trustees; Effec-
tive Next Year
PLANS ARE TO RETIRE

DR.. Charles M. Wharton, Dean
of the Physical Education and
Health Department at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, has rendered his
resignation to DR.. Hullihen, presi-
dent of the University, to take eff
feet at the completion of the 1885
36 school year. This resignation
was accepted by the executive
committee of the Board of Trustees
at its last meeting. DR.. Wharton
plans to retire. DR.. Whartos has
been head of his department since
its Inauguration in 1880. In his
letter to DR.. Hullihen, DR. Wharton
reminded him that when he agreed
to take charge of the department,
ne did SO under the conditions that
when it was established on sound
and smooth working basis, he
would be allowed to resign. The
department is now four years old
and the present seniors will be the
first group to be graduated. The
main reason for DR.. Wharton nand-
ing in his resignation at this time
is to enable the acthorities of the
University to select a successor.
DR.. Wharton believes that in one
more year. he will be able to round
out his work in establishing an eff
ficient and well-equipped depart
ment. One Of the main things he
wishes to complete during the next
year is the establishment of per-
sonal and placement bureau for the
students of the Physical Education

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Motor Vehicle Deaths Drop
25 Per Cent From Decem-
Der to January
SITUATION ELSEWHERE

Motor vehicle deaths dropped 25
per cent from December to Janu-
ary, according to reports now
available from cities and states
with "a 100000 population. While
a December-January decline is Gus
tomary, it seldom reaches these
proportions. January deaths are
now estimated at 2,250-16 per
cent below the total of $3.50 re
corded in January 1924. The jan
uary deaths this year are also be-
low the corresponding months Of
1882 and 1881, although somewhat
higher than in 1888. Paradoxical
as it may seem, the Delaware Safe
ty Council states that bad driving
weather is probably the most i'm
portant single cause of January's
good record. January newspapers
were filled with such headlines as
Heavy Shows From Great Lakes
to Atlantic Seaboard," Mississippi
Valley Covered with Sheet of Ice" ;"
etc. The effect of such weather
on driving is probably two-fold:
First, fewer people drive, and those
who do, drive less. Second, driv-
ing hazards become very obvious
in bad weather, and the average
driver is a much safer one when he
is facing obvious hazards. In these
ways, it is believed, January
storms prevented many serious ac-
cidents that might have occurred
had the relatively fair weather of
January 1884 prevailed. Among
the largest cities, only four-Bos-
ton, st. Louis, Los Angeles and
Milwaukee - had increases over
1884. New York opens the year
with the lowest death rate in its
group, while Milwaukee retains
second place, in spite of five deaths
this January compared with one IN
1884. One hundred forty-six out of
two hundred fifty-eight reporting
cities had a perfect January record.
The largest of these cities without
a single death was Honolulu, Ha-
waii, with a population of approx
imately $4,000. While the decline
in January deaths occurred both in
cities and states, the drop in the
former was much more abrupt.
There were about % per cent fewer
deaths in cities this January than
last January, while states declined
only 8 per cent. Seven of the re-
porting states, in fact, showed in
creases- California, Idaho, Indiana,
New Hampshire, North Carolina,
South Dakota and Utah.

Department. In larger universities,
this type of bureau is comon, but
no such bureau exists at the Uni
versity of Delaware. The resigna-
ton by DR.. Wharton came as a
complete surprise to the student
body at the university. He has
become one of the most popular
department heads at the univer-
sity and much speculation is being
shown as to his possible successor.
DR. Wharton states that he had
almost completed his work at Del
aware. His purpose in the begin
ming was to show the result of his
work in the personnel of his pres
ent graduating class. He now feels
that it will take one more year to
correlate the student health service
and the further development of the
personnel and placement bureau.
While an undergraduate at the
University of Pennsylvania, DR..
Wharton gained a national reputa-
tion as a football player. He was
chosen by Walter Camp on his first
"All-American" team in 1895 and
1896. He was captain of the un-
defeated University of Pennsyl-
vania team in 1896. Shortly after
his graduation he was recalled to
the University to coach the foot
ball team and later became pro
fessor in the Department of Physi-
cal Education.

Madison to the Fore.

Still another ''whippersnapper
emerged to become "the father Of
the Constitution" the leading light
of the group half ''brain trust
ers" and half horse traders-that
compiled the document. He was
James Madison, of Virginia, then
thirty-six and a student of political
science, the peer of any this coun-
try has produced.
AS proof of the prominent parts
the younger men played, the con-
vention chose them for four of the
five members of the committee on
revision which completed the final
wording to the Constitution in ac-
cordance with resolutions adopted
in the sessions. The committee men,
bers were Madison, Alexander Ham
ilton, thirty, of New York; Rufus
King, thirty-two, of Massachusetts;
Gouverneur Morris, thirty-five, of
Pennsylvania, and William Samuel
Johnson, sixty, of Connecticut.
Half the delegates were college
graduates, many of them complet-
ing their education in the pioneer
universities of the American conti-
nent. Some had studied in British
schools.
The esteem in which the dele
gates were held is shown by the
honors which they later received.
Two, Washington and Madison, be
came Presidents; one, Gerry. of
gerrymandering fame, Vice Presi-
dent. Ten were senators and eight
Representatives in the First CON
gress. Five were placed on the Su-
preme court, two chief justices.
King became an attorney general
and secretary of state; Hamilton
was secretary of the treasury. Six
delegates served terms as governors
and four were appointed ministers
to foreign countries.

ENGLAND MAY MAKE
DIVORCE DIFFICULT
Judges Act to Stop Manufac-
tured Evidence.

London.-Divorce may be harder
TO obtain in Britain in the near fu-
ture.
Plans are being prepared to put
a stop to what is called "hotel evil
dence."
The authorities say that there
are too many arranged" divorces,
in which the husband "acts the gen.
tleman" and manufactures evidence
by staying one night in hotel with
an unknown woman and then sends
the bill to his wife so that she may
have the necessary circumstantial
evidence of adultery-the only
grounds on which a divorce is grant
ed in England at present.
Some judges have attempted to
Illustrate this type of collusion by
demanding the name of the core
spondent. Others have threatened
to disregard "hotel evidence" alto
gether. Neither method has proved
practical
Now the authorities visualize
some plan whereby the unsupported
evidence of hotel witnesses-such
as the manager, the reception clerk
and the chambermaids-w be in
sufficient if there is any doubt about
the bona fides of the petitioner. In
such cases the name of the core
spondent will have to be given, or
the failure to do so satisfactorily
explained.
This will mean the disappearance
of the unknown woman" in di-
vorce, and with it the breakup of
the profitable and highly organized
business of agent.
The agents for substantial fees,
"arrange" divorces and manufacture
evidence. They enlist the service of
professional correspondents, who
make a big income by being party
to the preparation of suitable di-
vOrce evidence.
There are offices In London where
a man may go and discreetly hire
personable young woman as his
companion for the weekend to aid
the divorce plan.
