Defies Council
POLICE STOP TRAFFIC

With a truce just declared, po-
lice 'picketing'' of the two houses
owned by Edward Minor, 20, un-
frocked former marrying minister,
had his case resumed Monday in
Elkton's Town Council in an at
attempt to force the former pastor
to remove two large signs which
read Minister, Marriage License" I"
Police had orders to keep traffic
moving in front of the houses and
as a result there was a decided
slump in the number of ceremonies
performed by ministers associated
with Mr.. Minor. The signs were
erected late Friday evening in the
front yards of the Minor proper
ties. Mayor Henry H. Mitchell and
Councilmen Sayres Booth and AL
bert G. Buckworth called on Mr.
Minor and reminded him that the
signs violated a municipal ordin-
ance. The next day the signs were
still in evidence so Mayor Mitchell
stationed two officers in front of
the houses with orders to keep
traffic moving. Two years ago an
ordinance was passed banning mar
riage signs within 10 feet from the
sidewalk. Minor at that time de-
fed the authorities, carried his case
to the county court, and won a ver-
dict on the grounds the ordinance
was unconstitutional.

DIES FROM RARE
BLOOD DISEASE
Wife of DIR. c. Howard Moore
Well-KnOwn in Smyrna, Vic
tim of MonOcytic Leukemia
DISEASE NEVER CURED

Stricken with a very rare blood
disease, for which medicine has as
yet found no cure, Mrs. Elsie Kul-
ger Moore, wife of DR. G. Howard
Moore. prominent orthopedic surg
con, died Monday night in the
Graduate Hospital, Philadelphia.
DR. Moore is well known in Smyr-
ma, the son of the late Charles E.
Moore and a nephew of the late
Mrs. John A. Hoffecker. He is a
cousin of Mrs. Harry c. Tschudy
of this town. The case of MIS-.
Moore, because of its rarety, has
occasioned considerable interest
among the medical fraternity.
Eight transfusions given during
the three and half days she was
in the hospital were unable to halt
the swift course of the disease,
known as acute monocytic leu
kemia. Mrs. Moore, who was 43,
had been i'll only five days. Ac-
cording to blood specialists the
malady is characterized by a sud-
den increase in the number of mon
ocytes, a type of white blood cell.
They filter out of the blood vessels
into the surrounding tissue, pro-
duce toxic condition and also get
into the bone marrow and inter-
fere with the production of other
blood cells, including the oxygen
carrying red corpuscles. More than
20 physicians were consulted in
Mrs. Moore's case, and 103 pros
pective blood donors were typed in
order to procure five of the requir-
ed type. Every facility known to
medicine was employed in the bat
tie to save the young matron's life.
Besides her husband, who is asso-
ciate professor of orthopedics in
the University of Pennsylvania
Graduate School of Medicine, and
who was major in the 4th Army
Corps overseas during the World
War. Mrs. Moore is survived by
two children, Mary Virginia and
Alexander; two sisters, Mrs. Char
les w. Carroll and Isabel ". Kulzer,
and two brothers, George w. and
Harry j. Kulzer, all of Philadel-
phia. She was the daughter of the
late George and Louisa Kulzer of
Philadelphia.
