A provision was contained in the

Bill Is Questioned
After the bill was read, question
arose about the admissibility of it,
based on the Senate concurrent res

Al, 43, A. And Jesus lifted up his
eyes, and said, Father, thank thee
that thou hast heard me. 43. And
when he had thus spoken, he cried
with a loud voice, Lazarus, come
forth. A. And he that was dead
came forth, bound hand and foot
with graveclothes: and his face was
bound about with napkin. Jesus
saith unto them, Loose him, and let
him go. Correlative from the Text

Eddy: Jesus said of Lazarus: Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go,
that 1 may awake him out of
Sleep" Jesus restored Lazarus by
the understanding that Lazarus had
never died, not by an admission
that his body had died and then
lived again. Had Jesus believed
that Lazarus had lived or died in

OLD DRAWERS GETS $4,000
WilIed To Old Church Near st.
Georges by New jersey Woman

Old Drawers, whose fame has
reached beyond the borders of this
state, has been bequeathed the sum
of $4,000 by the will of Mrs. Anita
Samuel Reynolds of Princeton, NJ.
In the closing months of 1912, Mrs.
Reynolds became seriously ill, and
her husband, James Reynolds, made
arrangements with ]. Archie Finley
of Odessa, in charge of the burial
grounds at Old Drawers, for a
family burial plot. By some quirk
of fate, it was Mr.. Reynolds who
died first and was laid. to rest at
Old Drawers, following the trip to
the site from Princeton at night.
The ony light available was the
CLEAN of the headlights of the fun
eral cars. Mrs. Reynolds recently
was laid to rest beside her husband.
After Mr.. Reynolds death, Mrs.
Reynolds changed her will, leaving
one-sixth of her estate, or $4,000,
to Old Drawers. C. B. SINGER

JEFFERSON TO
BE HONORED
Gov. Bacon Issues PrOclama-
tiOn Urging Delawareans to
Honor Father of Liberty
200TH ANNIVERSARY

Gov. Walter w. Bacon yesterday
issued a proclamation urging all
true Americans to pledge them
selves to cherish, maintain, and
strengthen the principles of Thorn
as jefferson, whose 200th birth an
niversary will be observed on Tues
day, April 10. The proclamation
follows:
Whereas, the 200th anniversary
of the birth of Thomas Jefferson
will be celebrated on April 10, 1913;
and
Whereas, it is fitting that this
200th anniversary of the birth of a
great American statesman should
be celebrated as a day of rededica-
ton to the truths which he first
proclaimed and established. For
more than a century and half, the
first 10 amendments to the Cont
tuition, known and revered as the
Bill of Rights, of which jefferson
was the spiritual father, have stood
as the charter of the liberties of the
American people. 1t is not only a
part of the Constitution, it is the
soul of that immortal document;
and
Whereas, there are, today, those
who would challenge these truths,
who would abrogate freedom, Gre
ate tyranny and destroy the basic
American concept that all men are
created equal,
Now therefore, against such at
tempts to overthrow their funda-
mental rights, the American people
must stand firm, alike in times of
peace as well as in times of war
and 1 urge that in commemoration
of the birth of Thomas Jefferson,
all true Americans join, pledging
themselves to cherish, maintain and
strengthen the principles of this
patriot who was the architect OF
American liberty"

luton. He pointed out that while
the title of the resolution does have
a provision excepting general ap-
preparation bills, there was nothing
in the body of the resolution to
carry out this fact. Lieut.-G
Isaac ]. MacCollum, who presided,
commented that a similar bill Of
fered by Rep. C. Linden McIlvaine
(R-Georgetown) failed to disclose
whether the appropriation is in
tended as a general one or supple
mental one. He added that al
though ne believed he would be
loverruled, he would admit the bill.
Senate Bill No. 80
Senator Robert H. Yerkes of
Houston, majority floor leader, stat
ed there was no necessity for the
proposed additional bill, in view of
the fact that Senator McGuigan al
ready has a bill on the calendar
known as Senate Bill No. ST." and
entitled IAN act making appropri-
atoms for increasing the salaries of
public school classroom teachers for
the fiscal years beginning July 1,
19443, and June 1, 1914, and ending
June 30, 1914, and June 30, 1915,
respectively" He then made mo-
ton which resulted in a party vote
to overrule the decision of the
chair. Senator McGuigan contend
ed that his Senate Bill 81 could not
apply the same as his proposed ad-
ditional bill. After adjournment,
however, several senators maintain
ed that a substitute measure could
be offered for Senate Bill 81 to con-
tain the same provisions as the one
which Senator McGuigan attempted
to present.
Senate Adjourned
AS Senator McGuigan was about
to ak for the floor on a point of per-
sonal privilege, the Senate adjourn
ed until yesterday. Under the bill
which Senator McGuigan sought to
present Tuesday, the term "basic
salary" would have been construed
to mean the annual salary any pub
lie school employee was receiving al
the commencement of the current
fiscal year, or if employed since the
commencement of the year, the sal
airy received upon beginning en-
ployment. The increase would have
applied to only such public school
employees as are still in the employ
upon the approval of the measure.
In the event of the severance of
employment of any public school
employe following enactment of the
proposed act, the person employed
in his place would have been en-
titled to receive the alary increase
provided.
