DEMANDED

DELMAR, Del, March 3O.-As-
sailing "modernistic and revolu-
tionary teachings" the Laymans
Association of the Wilmington
Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church has demanded
a purge" of all schools and col
leges controlled by the church Of
such "unorthodox teachings"
A memorial drawn up by o. M.
Shockley of BiShopville called on
the general conference Of the
church "to take whatever steps
are necessary to purge our educa-
tional institutions of all unortho-
dox and unmethodistic teachings;
to silence all those exponents Of
moderniStic and revolutionary doc
trines who occupy teaching or
preaching positions, and to renew
the old emphasis upon which the
church grew to spectacular place
and power"
A heated argument which devel-
oped among the clergymen attend
ing the conference as to how many
days attendance pay they should
draw was ended by Bishop Edwin
H. Hughes, of Washington, who is
presiding over the conference,
when he remarked:
Brethren, I wish you would
get as excited as this ON
evangelism" ,,

TO JEALOUSY

ELKTON, Md, March 30.-Vic-
tim of a jealous wife, Mrs. Emily
Fisher, "a of Perryville, today
was believed dying in Havre de
Grace Hospital while Mrs. Rachel
Gillespie, 32-year-old mother of
two children was held in jail
here
Mrs. Gillespie was charged with
assault with intent to kill. Jeal-
oUSy, inspired by Mrs. Gillespie's
belief that her husband, Walter,
was interested in Mrs. Fisher, was
given as motive for the shooting
by Deputy Sheriff Louis A. Seth
Of Cecil County.
Immediately after Mrs. Fisher
was wounded, Mrs. Gillespie sur
rendered the gun used to her at
torney, State Senator Harold E.
Cobourn.
Authorities said Mrs. Gillespie,
who lives in CharleStown, six
miles from Perryville, had quar-
relied Saturday with her husband.
After the dispute, Mrs. Gillespie
obtained a gun, went to the Fisher
home, and knocked on the door.
AS Mrs. Fisher came to answer,
the enraged wife fired two shots
through the screen door, police
said, and fled to her attorney.
Mrs. Fisher apparently fell,
then struggled to the front porch
where she was found by a passer-
by. Physicians give her only a
slight chance to live.
Although Mrs. Fisher was con-
scious, no effort has been made
to question her, hospital authori-
ties said. Her husband was with
her thrnnpho1lt the dav.

being the highest cause Of death Il
has now become the seventh. In
other words in 1907 when the first
Christmas Seals were sold the death
rate from tuberculosis was 179 for
every 100000 Of the population; il
is now less than 60 in the Registra-
tiOn Area Of the United States.
Modern health methods have done
much to force this rate down and
Santa in modern style may we'll call
attention to that fact.
"Yet this is no time to rest COM
placently, for nearly 10000 persons
are dying from tuberculosis each
year and of that number consider
ably more than half occur among
men and women from is to as. In
1885 there were 155 deaths in Della
ware. There is still much to be done
il we are to wipe out tuberculosis in
the next thirty years."
The campaign will open on
