URGE JAIL FOR
DRUNK DRIVERS
Attorney General Green
Would Make Such Pun
ishment Mandatory
SUBJECT TO NO APPEAL

Attorney General P. Warren
Green last week in report to the
House recommended the manda-
tory imposition of a Jail sentence
that could not be appealed, upon
drunken drivers. He suggested i'm
prisonment of from to 25 days
upon proof of at least two witness
es that the defendant had been op-
Grating an automobile while under
the influence of Intoxicating liquor.
Another law connected with the
operation of motor vehicles recon-
mended by the Attorney General
was his proposal that the killing
of a person in connection with
such operation be termed a misde-
meanor triable before one or more
Judges in the Court of General Ses-
sions and subject to fine or impris-
onment. He requested the addition
of another attorney to his office to
perform legal services for the
State Liquor Commission, his sal
ary to be paid from funds collect
ed by the Commission. He opos-
ed the sale of liquor after mid
night, standard time, and Sundays,
and recommended that standard
time be used in naming opening
and closing hours. He also recon-
mended legislation making 1t IL
legal to transfer or possess liquor
not lawfully purchased.

CORRECT FLAW IN RACE BILL
Amendment Makes BoOkmaking
Illegal Outside of Machines

To correct what he considers a
serious defect in the horse racing
bill, Attorney General P. Warren
Green has sent an amendment and
a new bill to Representative Nor
ris Simon, Republican floor leader
in the House asking him to have
them introduced. The objections
of the attorney general to the mea-
sure will delay it's adoption by the
Legislature. 1t has been passed
by the Senate and was to have
been passed by the House Wednes-
day but the storm prevented a ma
jority of the members from attend
ing the session. Mr.. Green con-
tends that the penal clause in the
amendment, if it should be adopted
as it now stands, would make it
possible for bookmakers to ply
their trade in Delaware without
fear of arrest just SO long as they
accepted bets only on races held
beyond the borders of the State
They could not accept bets on rae
es held within Delaware. The pro-
posed new act would specify that
betting at any race track within
this State would be legal if done
by means of pari-mutual machines
or totalizators but that beyond the
enclosure of e race track book
making in the State would be Just
as Illegal as it is under the present
law.

u. S. NAVY AIRCRAFT
IS SECOND TO NONE
Planes Equal or Superior
to Any Other Nation.

hington.-America's fleet that
flies" is equipped with planes and
motors equal or superior to those
of any other nation in the world,
and still further advances are now
in sight, Rear Admiral Ernest ].
King, chief of the bureau of aero
nautics, declares in his annual re-
port to Claude A. Swanson, secre-
tary of the navy.
"The bureau is upheld In
this opinion" the document adds,
"by the reports of various commit
tees of congress which have DUR
ing the past year inquired exhaus-
lively into the subject. Every ef-
fort has been made to eXpend the
funds at the bureaus disposal In
such manner that the efficiency, re-
liability and usefulness of the air.
craft and equipment furnished the
operating forces would be the maxi
mum possible"
Halls Expansion Statute.
The most progressive step taken
by the government in the develop
ment of naval aviation during the
fiscal year 1884, Admiral King said,
was passage of the Vinson-Trammell
act authorizing aircraft construc-
tion commensurate with the strength
of the "treaty navy"
"The 1000 plane program pre-
scribed in 1926 (as a result of the
Morrow airplane boards recon-
mendations) did not provide for
ships authorized and constructed
subsequent to that year." Admiral
King says. with the result that
new ships had to be provided with
aircraft by curtailment of other
activities for which provision had
been made. so that the ratio of air.
craft to ship strength constantly
decreased. The Vinson-T -Trammell
act removes this restriction and
tentative program providing an or
derly expansion of the naval air
arm over a period of five to seven
years has been prepared by the
bureau of aeronautics and submit
ted to the Navy department for
consideration and approval.
Greater Range Sought.
Constant effort is being made
to improve the characteristics of
naval aircraft, particularly In re-
gard to speed. range and striking
power" the report adds. Increased
employment of long-range patrol
bombing squadrons is expected. Fu-
ture plans involve service tests for
larger seaplanes of this type with
great range. bomb loads and speed.
'Tt Is desired to increase the
striking power of carrier-based
scouting planes by including ar
rangements for dropping heavy
bombs In diving attack. The de-
velopment Of such an airplane is
now under way"
Admiral King points out that
the speed range Of the navy's latest
type planes has undergone marked
Improvement during the last year.

WEALTHY BRITONS
UNDER DEATH WATCH
Treasury Keeps Track of
Rich Who May Die.

London.-The chancellor of the
exchequer, Neville Chamberlain, has
marked some of Britain's million
aires for the ''spot"-and the bud
get surplus for next year will de-
pend to large extent on how many
are rubbed OUT
To balance Mr.. Chamberlain's
tidy books properly, an expert sta
tistician is working overtime at the
treasury figuring out just how many
of the country's more opulent citi-
zens probably will succumb to the
grim reaper"
ures the chancellor estimates the
amount of income from death du-
ties for the year.
This is no small item in the Brit
ish budget as the duties run from
40 to 60 per cent on estates in the
higher brackets; England doesn't
allow rich men to pass on much
of their wealth. For example, in
the fiscal year 1888 "a, death du-
ties amounted to S426,350,000.
An Extra "WindfaII."
The estimate for this year was
only 1878. 10000, but a few of what
are fondly known in treasury cir
cles as "windfalls" provided the
cash box with an extra S42.600,000.
If the outlook is favorable he
can stop the clamoring of those
gentlemen from the royal air force.
who declare in no uncertain terms
that they have to have more planes
-"or else"
On the other hand, If so disposed,
the chancellor can pay a war debt
installment to a friendly power.
Therefore, the hard working sta
tistfcian was hired few months
ago to work out the expectation
of life of known millionaires, on the
line adopted by life insurance COM
panies.
Figures on Deaths.
To bear this out, the Income Tax
Payers society, which ought to
know, says:
"In the treasury departments Sc
cret archives are figures which will
enable actuaries to tell the chan
cellor how many millionaires are
liable to die in any particular year."
Mr.. Chamberlain planned on re-
ceiving S3S0,0OO,OOO from the death
duties. But apparently he has un-
derestimated things a little. for
about a dozen millionaires died in
the year just closed, and revenue
returns from the first quarter
showed an increase of S27, 100000
over 1888.
Because of these heavy death du-
ties, most wealthy men who have
their fortunes tied up in specific in
dustries, carry death and duty in
surance to take care of payment of
taxes and obviate necessity of the
family selling the business in order
to settle with the government. Pre-
miums on these policies often ex-
ceed the net income from an es-
tate, thus the man with q fortune
coming in every year might be los
ing money. But only by losing on
his Income" is he able to protect
his principal.

sir. I have no excuse"
The senior partner seemed to age
visibly, and his brow drew into heavy
creases. He spoke again without look
ing up. "Of course, won't turn you
over to the police, Gordon. You know
that. I won't even tell my partners
how you have let me down. You must
replace the money and then re-
sign"
AT the door Murdoch stopped and
looked at the younger man. I'm leav-
ing now, Gordon" he said. "I-don't
suppose you will want to come with
me-under the circumstances"
A moment of hesitation, then: mo,
sir"
II didn't think you would. Suppose
I tell your wife you we're detained here
on business?"
please do. And thank you, sir"
When Murdoch's footsteps had died
out along the outer corridor Bryant
sat quite still, his face suddenly stiff
fened into lines of pain. Something
had touched him, had drawn the
warmth from his veins. His calm re-
manned, but now he was icy and cold.
The older mans parting words had
drawn picture of a gay group: His
son Gordon, jr home from college
for the Easter holidays, running down
the steps to greet his father as they
drove up to Murdoch's lodge in the
Adirondacks; his wife, her eyes glow
ing with pride, waving to them: Mrs.
Murdoch and the rest of the usual
happy group gathered about on the
veranda to greet the newcomers.
There would be smoking hot din
ner, and afterward they would circle
about the great stone fireplace and
watch the embers until they grew
sleepy. Then of to bed for a good
rest before piling out at daybreak to
try for a mess of trout in the brook
that gurgled invitingly behind the
lodge.
He pressed his lips together and
WINGED. Never again could he be a
part of that gay company.
Slowly the night wore itself away
until faint streaks of light showed
along the horizon. Then he reused
himself and left.
His car was at the curb where he
had left Is so long before. Mechan-
ically, he sat behind the wheel, pressed
his foot upon the starter, guided it
out into the street. He drove heed
lessly. There was no place he could
60 where he would find escape.
He looked about him with start!
That would not do! Without thinking,

procession OF fantastic shapes that
filed through his aching brain. Was
that something moving on the bank
of the stream, far below?
The patch of color against the
cool green of the early Spring was the
old red sweater which Murdoch us
ually wore. He was out early this
morning, Gordon told himself, be-
cause it was a fine day for trout. He
tried to look closer at the moving
spot, but the blur was always before
his eyes. He put out his hand to
steady himself, touched a boulder
at his side. The huge rock swayed
gently. Heavy rains had washed the
soil and gravel from beneath it, and
now it balanced there, delicately
poised.
Just below was the red blotch of
Murdoch's sweater, at his hand this
heavy boulder, swaying at his touch
and Murdoch was the only man who
knew!
mo! MOI" he screamed at himself
in anguish. But his hand did not
obey him. A gentle push-the rock
topped forward and plunged down and
down
The man crouching by the stream
below heard, and turned his blanched
face upward. Bryant saw the face
and shrieked a warning. But it was
too late. The avalanche was upon
him. -.
And now the face was always with
him. 1t looked down upon him from
ceiling or, If he turned his head sud-
denly to loose 1t. he saw it on the gray
wall at either side. The face looked
at him when he closed his eyes, and
when he slept it was present in his
dreams. 1t was with him now as his
dulled senses heard voices outside the
door.
This is a sad case" said a voice.
It was an attendant, showing visitors
through the asylum. HE was once
a prominent man. He was found in
his home one day, stark mad. just as
he Is now" There was a pause as
the group peeped in the grating.
Strange thing" the voice went on,
"but on that same day they found the
mans son up in the mountains,
crushed to death. A rock fell on him
while he was fishing"
