 In Seattle, Halls attorney, Ev- erett o. Butts, said Hall will ap- pear in court Monday in Port Orchard as a pauper to ask. the State to help him defray the ex- penses involved in appealing the case.
 On Thursday, Butts will argue on the motion for a new trial, which, he said, will be based on two points: that Hall should have been granted a separate trial from his accuser, Peggy Paulos, who was codefendant, and that repeated mention was made of Halls activ- ities in Portland in attempt to link him with another case.
 If Halls motion for a new trial is denied, he will be sentenced to death, but an appeal to the State Supreme Court will stay further action until the Supreme Court rules on the case.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 21.-- The Wagner Labor Disputes Act, New Deal measure giv- ing employees the right to organize and bargain collect ively without company inter- ference, was held uncOnsti- tuti0nal by F d eral Judge Merrill D. Otis here today. The opinion was the first Fed eral Court ruling on legality of the law since it was enact ed by the last Congress.
 Otis granted the Majestic Flour Mills of Aurora, Missouri, 8 tenn porary injunction against the Ma tional Labor Relations Board con- plaint which cited 1t alleged the refusal to bargain on an hour wage agreement with the union. Em- ployers of the mills declared Con- gress had exceeded it's constitutional right to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States and in conclusion the whole act is unconstitutional"
 The act gives employees the right to organize unions and carry on wage hour negotiations and pro- hibits the employers from interfer- ing with formation of such unions. and created the Labor Relations Board to mediate in disputes grow ing out of contracts between labor and employers.
 The board accused d the mill of refusing to bargain collectively with its organized workers and charged the company with the of fense of dealing with said em- ployees individually"

MOSQUITOES GREATLY

According To Daily Mosquito Census
By Electric Traps

Salt marsh mosquitoes have been
greatly reduced in eastern Sussex
county, despite unusually rainy wea-
ther during the spring and summer
thus far, according to the daily
mosquito census" by electric traps.
These traps, placed at Bethany
Beach, Selbyville, MillsborO, George
town, Rehoboth, Lewes, Milton, and
Milford, by the Delaware MospitO
Control Commission, nightly attract
and draw to their death in cyanide
chambers, an average cross section

and counted by the entomologist Of

ture Department, thereby ascertain

where the major breeding occurs,
for the breeding habits Of each spe-
Gle are known.
Rehoboth and Lewes. bordered by
extensive salt marshes, have had
very few mosquitoes in their traps
up to the close of last weeks collec-
tion, but Georgetown, with serious
ditch and cesspool conditions, had as
high as f0rty-five of the house mos

GAS DEALERS URGED
TO PROCURE LICENSES
Subject To Fine After July 1; Fee
Of s2.OO Required For Permit

Although It is the first Of July for
everyone else it is New Years day
for those who sell gasoline because
it is the first day of their license
year and on that day the license Of
1855 must be displayed in a prom
inent place in their business lOca-
tion. otherwise they are subject to
a fine or can be held for court.
The fact that they have received
no notification will be no excuse as
they are to send to the State High
way Department, Motor Fuel Tax
Division, Dover, Delaware, for a IL
cense which costs but $500 for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1885,
and ending June 80. 1886.
Last year nearly so dealers were
compelled to pay fines upon their
neglect and It is hoped this year
there will be no such trouble.
II Is only the desire of the de-
partment that licenses be taken out
AZ the proper time. There Is no sb
for arrests to be made. Although L
is called a license, it is merely
permit showing the gasoline on sale
has been tax paid, and is the meth
cd the State uses to cut on any flow
Of e"hOt" gasoline.

The arrest OF seven children in
Wilmington recently for setting on
fire-crackers in violation of an ordi-
nance prohibiting their use within
the city limits is a vivid reminder
that not even the law is sufficient
protection against the menace to
life and. limb that exists in the form
of fireworks. declares Walter Dent
Smith, president and manager Of the
Delaware Safety Council. in a plea
for safe and sane Fourth Of July
celebration.
These children. he says. may not
have Intentionally violated the law
but they did expose themselves to
the risk Of blindness and mutilation
that can be caused by even the So
called harmless fireworks" There
is no doubt that this ordinance has
greatly curbed this danger in Will

where the same ordinance exists but
the problem, as far as the rest Of

that should demand the instant and
