Empire state believe they made mistake when
they voted the Democracy out of power last fall.
Despite the sturdy opposition Of Senator Brad
ley. the senate has passed the measure authoriz-
ing the payment by Kings County Of the bin of
James w Birkctt for extra work done on the
county farm at ST. Johnland. II ought not to be-
come a law. To put the matter plainly. 1t is an
abomlnabc grab. The work In question was never
authorized. After the contract was given 10 Br-
kett 1t was altered with the intention Of making
the county pay more than the amount provided
for. This was one Of the methods by which the
taxpayers Of Kings County We're neeccd out OF
hundreds of thousands Of dollars In connection
with this enormously costly county farm enter
prise The injustice OF asking the Legislature to
compel the payment Of $4,000 or upward to Br-
kett Isl the more apparent when remember that
his claim has been thrown out In the lower courts
and is now pending in the Court OF Appeals. where
adverse decision Is also expected 1t IL be-
cause of this expectation that the Legislature has
been asked to legalze the claim. The Senate has
done its part In obedience to orders from Boss
Worth. The Assembly ought to treat the matter
on it, merits. If 1t fails to do 50. trust that
Governor Morton will interpose his veto.

TOWNSEND iNTERVIEu ED.

That Oficiai Stated Yesterday That
standard 0il's Reported GobbIe Does
Not Necessarily Hurt Delaware's Sea-
port.
Collector Townsend was interviewed
yesterday morning by representative
of The GAZETTE in regard to the pub
llshed statements of Standard OIL action
land that it would necessitate the clos
ing of the only trunk line antagonistic
to it whose outlet is at Marcus Hook,
and that this would leave the Standard
Oil Co. in possession of the only direct
line to the seaboard."
The point raised with the collector
yesterday was that il the Standard
accomplisnes what it is charged with,
result might be the removal of all oil
export to Point Breeze from Marcus
Hook, which means the deprivation of a
Delaware seaport Of its more important
export commerce amounting to millions
OF gallons of oil annually.
THE COLLECTORS OPINIONS.
II really am not very much surprised
to sec these developments" said the
collector, "but it does not alarm me so
very much, for this reason. The Stan
dard Oil Co. might very readily make
Marcus Hook its chief export point. 1t
is much better harbor than Point
Breeze. Its facilities are far superior.
There is deeper water and there is closer
proximity to the seaboard.
They will save the expense of com
| pliance with Pennsylvania quarantine
laws after passing through our waters.
Ii the Standards vessels stopped at
Marcus Hook the towage will, of
course be less, there being a difference
of about 20 miles of towing up diff
cnlt ship channel to the PENNSYLVANIA
port Then another great advantage
available by the Standard adopting
Marcus Hook as its chief export point
| would be that during winter time the
oil ships would escape the difficult
Horseshoe Bend and all seafaring men
know what an important thing that is.
ut is noticeable also that while the
Bear Greek and Crescent companies
whatever may be their destiny, must
have foreseen something of this, and
Notwithstanding it all they continued
large expenditures in building and i'm.
provements. Several new tanks have
been erected and great improvements
made to the wharf property.
The Standard Oil Go. has sent out
quite a number of cargoes from March,:
Hook. Finally the companies located
at that point have expended ovel
| 100000, which represents valuable
permanent manufacturing and port i'm
provements at Marcus Hook, constitut
ing it now one of the best ports on thu
Delaware river. 1t is too valuable
seaport to give up
Ship captains from abroad invariably
prefer stopping there to going up river
The tow to Point Breeze is an additlona
expense, is annoying, difficult, and a.
additional delay. Dozens of captains o
foreign vessels have SO expressed them
selves at the collectors office here.
For the past quarter, which shows tn
lowest figures since the opening of tn
port Of Marcus Hook, and which state
ment also includes the weeks when til
river was frozen tight, the oil expor
total is about 100000 gallons.

Ford Morocco Co. Charged With
Violating ChanGery Injunction.

MIR. Ford Interyiewed--If the Street and
Sewer Department Does Not A ford suf-
fcient Sewerage Facilities the Large
Concern Has No Alternative but to
Leave the City
An attachment, issued from the court
of chanccry, has been served by Sheriff
Gillis on the Ford Morocco Co. Of this
city, charging that corporation with vio-
lating the existing chancery injunction,
which orders that the corporation shall
not empty refuse into Silverhrook.
A representative of The GAZETTE
called on Peter J. Ford Tuesday and
requested u full statement of the matter.
After admitting the fact Of service OF
chancery attachment Mr.. Ford spoke
as follows
MIR. ToRp's STATEMENT.
sit is all quite true in regard to our
position" II is positive fact that unless
we get proper sewerage facilities we
will have TO leave the city Immediately.
'lf it should develop that the Chan
cellor decide that we are now in viola
ton Of the njunction-that We shall not
run discoloreu water into Silverbrook
sewer, then we have no alternative but
to leave the State of Delaware. Ii the
Street and Sewer Department decline to
give us a guarantee for sewer facilities,
there is nothing else for US to do, but, as
i say, leave town.
81 have conferred with the head OF
the concern and he agrees with me that
this is our sole recourse, He speaks
along that line most positively in com
munication received from him yester.
day. We don't admit we have violated
the injunction in any sense, We have
empticd no refuse, only discolored water
into Silverbrook sewer.
AS regards our company it has now
a paid up capital of $lS7, 900 above al
liabilities. At present 1t employs 36(
people. II turns out 600 dozen skins Q
| day. With proper sewerage facilities We
could do 1000 day and employ 80t
hands"
DO you anticipate an adverse de
cision?" the reporter asked.
Indeed, certainly do not. If TO
no other reason, the proof exists that W,
have most carefully obeyed the order o
the Chancellor. But should there de
velop indications of an adverse decision
we would have TO get ready to leay
town. We are impeded even now il
proposed improvements on account 0
the insecurity OF our position.
~ am seriously saying this, There i
no bluif or pretence in il whatever. w
cannot afford to build another sewer. !
would cost at least $4,000, and that i
much too high figure for privat
corporation to maintain for publ
sewer.
There will be hearing Of the cas-
before the Chancellor to morrow.

Night Waterman Carmodv was making
his rounds at IL O'Clock and lad passed
from the main building into the isolation
annex. where the more dangerous of the
prisoners are kept, when he was attacked
by the i've men, oyerpowered and deprived
of his keys before he could make an out
cry Then the convicts fled toward the
chapel AS they ran Keeper Carmody
raised an alarm, which quickly brought
out superintendent Allison and the guards.
Perry and his companions, however,
reached the chapel without being inter-
cepted, and through that room made their
way to the roof through the scuttle. Then
Perry slid down the roof to the ewes, from
which lie dropped to the ground, the fall
being about % feet. As the others were
following his example, they were dis
covered and one shot was fired at them.
Three of the prisoners followed Perry's
lead and escaped. The fifth was too late,
but he bed back into the darkness,
where he remained until daybreak, when
ne was forced to give himself up. A large
force of guards was sent to scour the
country for the escaped conyicts and word
was sent to all points where it was thought
they might appear.

DELAWARE GAzETET AND STATE

The conference which the Republic
cans held Monday seems to have had
no effecti compromising the Senatorial
quarrel. Each of the three factions has
grown extremely weary of the way the
other two are voting; but no faction is
yet tired Of the way its own members
have been voting. Hence the compro-
mise which each has in mind is for the
other two to join in voting for its candi-
date. There you are just where you
began. We confess to degree of dis
appointment that the conference did not
agree to elect Mr.. Massey. The atmos-
pheric signs pointed to change
of weather, and the opening of
bright, snnshiny, Massey day.
We were indulging in self
graduation because the Republican
members were about to recognize the
wisdom of the advice we gave to them
last February. We know what is the
right thing for Republicans to do, and
they should keep their ears close to the
ground whenever we make remarks.
But it looks as if we may have crowed
a triie too soon; for the Republican
party is much like the Irishman's pig
which went straight to Cork when tile
owner tried to drive it to Dublin. Then
we have the Addicks men showing old
time stubbornness in the conference,
and the Morning News is shouting fol
Higgins louder than ever! II they are
determined to disgrace themselves by
keeping up this deadlock, they must
take the responsibility themselves.
They cannot roll any of it upon US. We
have told them what to do.
