| Richards we're said to have identified
him as the one who hired their car.
Collins was taken back to State
Road and questioned further by Pri-
Yates Carpenter and Leisure. He is
said by State police to have admit
ted that he had struck the two ne
! groes. His two male companions,
Harrison Passwaters, II years old
and Willard Griffith, 16 years old,
both of Milford, also were taken into
custody as material witnesses and
questioned. Police said the two girls
who were with the trio were Mildred
d. McCabe, IS years old. of George
town, and Velma Hurlock, II years
old, of Harrington.
State police said Collins state
ment was substantially as follows:
He and his four companions drove
to Wilmington from Milford about
9 o'clock last Saturday night and
started home sometime before 2 o.
clock.
Driver Tells OF Accident
Near Hares Corner, Collins saw
two men or boys" walking on the
road in front of the car. He swerved
to the left to avoid hitting them
and slapped on my brakes" The
car. however, struck the men, ran on
the grass between the dual highway
lanes and sideswiped some trees.
I'VE then drove to Elkton where
we left the car" Collins is said by
police to have confessed. He said
the reason I'VE went to Elkton was
to throw the cops off the trail.
He added that when near NktOn
some of the broken window of the
car fell out. 1t was this glass the
police found.
Collins then stated that he and his
companions hired Ewing and Rich
ards to drive them to Dover and
that they obtained ride on truck
to Milford. At Milford. It was Griffith
WHO called Dover police to report the
car stolen, and not Collins, accord |
ing to the latter's statement.
Sunday night Collins was taken
before Magistrate Chauncey P. Hol-
comb at New Castle by Sergeant |
Kitchens and Privates Edward Car
penter and Melvin Leisure, of the |
State police, and was fined $500 and
costs and sentenced to 90 days i'm
prisonment on the charge of leaving
the scene of an accident.
He also was held in $4,000 bail for
the Court OF Oyer and Terminer on
the mansIaughter charge. Two
youths riding with him at the time
OF the accident were held in $500
hail each as material witnesses and
State police said that like bail will
be fixed for the two girl companions.

A distressing cry is going out
from Vice Grand Ed. Salevan to all
Odd Fellows. their wives. Rebekahs.
their husbands, and members OF the

Many Odd Fellows are questioning
the wisdom of instituting new lodges
Of Rebekahs and Encampments In
towns where there is a small pOpu-
latiOn to draw from. Many believe it
would be far better TO concentrate
on a few lodges in centrally located
tow ms, than to have so many strIg-
CLING with small membership in so
many small places. This question
should be given serious cOnsidera-
tion by the Grand Lodge officials.

We can't add much to what has

Death Car Is Abandoned
About ten hours after they started
their, investigation into this acci-
dent, State police charged Collins
with having been the operator OF the
automobile that struck the two me-
groes. 1t was found abandoned In
Elkton and Collins was arrested at
his home In Milford. Collins, police
said, signed a statement admitting
he was the driver of the car and also
admitting he. drove It to Elkton and
abandoned 1t, making his way home
later with four companions. part Of
the way in hired machine and
partly by truck.
After motorists passing the scene
OF the accident found Macy lying
dead on the road and Chandler near
by. screaming for help. they notified
State police and Private Edward
Carpenter was assigned to an inves-
tieation. The only clues discovered
were a piece of headlight glass, a
headlight rim and a piece of glass
apparently broken from an automo-
bile window.
At $3.50 a. M, Sunday. the State
police of the Dover Station received
a telephone call from Milford. with
a report of stolen car. The caller
Identified himself as Collins (police
late found it was a friend) and he
said he wanted to report that his au-
tcmobile had been stolen about 2 a.
M, Sunday from in front OF res
taurant In Wilmington.
Auto Found In EikfOn
At about the same time the sher-
IFS office at Elkton telephoned the
State Road station police that dam
aged automobile carrying Delaware
licene tags had been abandoned in
the town few hours earlier.
Within a few minutes the State
Road police station received the
stolen car report and found the IL
cense number tailed with the NUM-
ber of the car abandoned in Elkton.
Superintendent c. c. Reynolds OF
the State police and Sergeant Hitch
ems, instructed Dover police to go to
Milford and take young Collins into
custody.
In the meantime Superintendent
Reynolds and Sergeant Kitchens
drove down the Glasgow Road TO
Elkton. Near the Maryland line they
saw some broken glass on the road.
II matched some broken auto win
dow glass found at the scene OF the
fatal accident. They continued to |
Elkton and there saw the automo-
bile. II was the one reported as hav-
ing been stolen.
At Elkton they found persons who
said they saw a group of four or five /
young persons alight from the auto |
mobile before dawn Sunday and
leave. At a nearby beer garden they
found that shortly after the damaged
automobile was abandoned a group
of three youths and two girls hired
Horace Ewing and Nelson Richards,
both of Elkton. to drive them to Do
yer.
Milford Youth Arrested
In the meantime Private Jones of
the Dover Station had taken Collins
into custody and brought him to the
State Road Station. Later he was

(Continued From Page One)

(COntlnued From Page One) to the 10 passengers, their bag gage, and the prescribed mini mum of 800 pounds of mail was too much-it was the straw that broke the cam, mean, begged the aircraft down. For, according to the Bureau of Air Commerce men, only the latest type of air craft now being introduced on some of the main airlines in the states have a performance that could handle this, and they re- quire landing fields with runways nearly twice as long as will be found on this ruote.
 The remedy in this instance was easy to arrive at, for by re- ducing the required minimum passenger carrying capacity from 10 10 8 passengers during winter service, the Air Commerce men say the ships otherwise meet the requirements and are suitable for operating off Alaska fields, flying with an excellent margin of safety with the allowable load. And the Post Office men are all so pleased in the knowledge that soon 800 pounds or more of mail can be sped each week to Fair banks from Juneau and simi- lar load brought back to Juneau in time to be slowed on the south bound ship.
 By calling the bids to be open ed on February 1st, it is believed that all prospective bidders will
