DON'T WANT IT SOLD.
Local Creditors of the Singerly Estate
Take Action Against the Sale of the
Philadelphia "RecOrd."

James II. Hoffecker, of Wilmington,
acting after conference with attorneys in
Philadelphia, on Tuesday in that city,
brought suit in the Common Pleas Court on
behalf of the Fruit Growers National Bank
of Smyrna, the Delaware City National
Bank and National Bank of Delaware, the
Central National Bank and the Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Company against
the estate OF the late William NJ. Singerly.
1t is understood that these institutions
and only part of about fifty banks and
banking institutions scattered through
Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, who are creditors of Singerly's
estate. The claims of this class aggregate
about $500, 900.
The banks hope by concerted action, if
possible, to prevent the sale Of the Phila-
delphia Record by certain class OF cred
itors holding the hypothecated stock and
bonds, whose interests are in the name and
are controlled by the receivers of the Chest
nut Street Trust Company. The banks
want to stop the sale as they believe that
the Record, by judicious management, will
be able to pay off in full all the creditors
of Mr.. Singerly and also leave a good mar

BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.
Senator Stevenson A. Williams Views
Upon His Bill.

4 bill to amend the constitution SO as to
apply the penalties for bribery at elections
to the bride giver alone, has been intro.
duced by Senator Williams, of Hartford, as
already stated.
Speaking of this bill Senator Williams
says:
at seems to be conceded on all hands
that some steps should be taken to prevent
the heavy use of money for election pur.
poses, which all have seen and felt for
many years, and the extent of which has
so rapidly increased say in ten years past
Various measures have been before the re-
cent Legislature, but on no one of these
measures has there been such an agree
ment Of sentiment as to effect its passage
while these are being considered there
is this stumbling block to punishment of
bribery under the present law. The con-
stitution requires the punishment of both
briber and bribed, and neither will furnish
evidence against the other. Amend the
constitution and provide for the punish
ment of the briber only. He will then be
careful how he furnishes money and puts
himself in.the power Of one who is willing
to sell his vote. II this stumbling block is
removed it may make conviction possible
under the present law, and if so then there
is step in the right direction and one of
the reasons why candidates and their
friends can be 50 easily induced to furnish
money is taken away"
