ROADS COMMISSION MAY
APPOINT A SHOREMAN

A new member of the State Roads
Commission, to succeed the late c.
Nice Wilkinson, ST., may be selected
from the Eastern Shore.
Governor Nice indicated this when
he said he might act under a new law
which distributes the membership of
the commission throughout the State.
The law, enacted in 1896, provides
that one member of the commission
shall come from the Eastern Shore,
one from a county of the Western
Shore and one from Baltimore city.
The act does not take effect until
May 1, 1889, but the governor said
that he would study it's provisions be-
fore selecting Mr.. Willxinson's success

CORNOER'S JURY ABSOLVES
DRIVER FROM ALL BLAME

A coroner's jury, empaneled D.
Judge w. R. Conway, to inquire int
the accident on U. S. Highway, IL
between Salisbury and Delmar il
which a Seaford, Delaware, man ant
his wife were fatally injured on Tues
day morning a week ago brought in
verdict to the effect that the acct
dent was unavoidable" and complete
ly exonerated Henry White, 10, of Sal
isbury, driver of the car which strucE
the pedestrians.
The victims of the accident were
Elwood j. Anderson, 3O-year-old in
surance man, and his wife, Sarah R
Anderson, 27.
Mrs. Anderson died at the scene OF
the accident and her husband succumb
ed at the Peninsula General Hospital
a little over an hour afterward.
According to testimony abduced be-
fore the coroner's jury of which Ralph
R. Purnell, was foreman, White was
returning from Philadelphia and had
as passengers in his car four girl
students of State Teachers College
who had played basketball at Temple
University in the afternoon.
Because of two punctures they had
driven slow on the trip, it was tes-
titled to, and White, who took the
stand voluntarily, said that he had
curtailed the rate at which he had
been driving when he approached the
Cozy Cabin, night club, at which the
accident happened, because of usually
heavier traffic there.
He had not observed anyone on
the highway, he said, until just be-
fore the impact. He applied the
brakes Immediately, he said.
Officer Newton J. w. Lloyd, who
investigated the accident, testified
that Whites car mad skid marks on
the road for a distance of 100 feet
which, he said, indicated that he was
travelling at the rate of slightly less
than 45 miles per hour-the legal
speed limit.
His investigation also indicated, he
said, that neither White, members of
his party, nor the Andersons, who had
previously been at the night club, had
had anything to drink.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were high
ly regarded residents of Seaford and
their demise orphans a 3-year-old
child.

WAR ON POPLAR ISLAND
MADE AGAINST CROWS

About half a hundred sportsmen
from various parts of the peninsula,
even as far away as Wilmington, Sal
isbury, fredericksburg, and other places,
journeyed to Poplar Island last week
and slaughtered the crows. This was
the second trip in the last few months
when these birds were given warm
reception, and about 700 birds were
killed as they arrived for the night.
The gunners left Easton about 2:3O
in the afternoon, but when they ar
rived at loves Wharf, to take the
boat for the island word was received
that a carload from Baltimore were
on their way, and to hold the boat
until they arrived. They travelled by
way of Matapeake, and in spite of a
flat tire, which was changed in record
time, they arrived in time to board
the boat.
Although about 700 crows were
slaughtered, it was noticed that they
were either wise to the invasion of
their resting place, or else are Degln-
ming to abandon the island to some ex-
emit. Not so many were seen as has
been seen in the past, though they
swarmed there by the thousands after
q day of foraging up and down the
mainland.
The day was windy, and many
thought it would be rough crossingI
the vast stretch of water between the
mainland and the island. But n large
boat was used, and no discomfort was
noticeable. The gunners remained
until about dark, when they embark
ed for home, declaring that they had
a most delightful afternoons sport.
A great many more had planned to
go along, but the wind being rather
strong they finally decided to stay
at home. Those who went, however,
had some real sport shooting the
birds as they arrived for the night.

The group agreed to divide this into
two parts: first, how much money
could be raised to provide adequate
and necessary quarters for the boys
of the community; second, how month

of a supervisor of an attendant to
supervise the boys and police the

Chairman Vought appointed a COM
mittee to bring the matter of finan-
cling before the organizations interest

program.

Mr.. Kintner it's permanent president,
Pierre LeBrun, vice-president, and R.
