counsel. never saw the contract
after it was signed. knew OF the
criticisms In the newspapers but as l
was not counsel for the Welsbach
company ] felt that had nothing to
do in making the company acquainted
with these criticisms. for they might
have felt it piece of impudcnce On
my part in telling them something
when | was not their counsel: or they
might have considered it all attempt
on my part to get business for my
self.
Not being the company's counse. l
felt it was not my duty to write to
them about the discussion in the news
papers, | fail to see, gentlemen, how
you can expect the Welsbach com pany
to know OF all this discussion. They
got the contract signed in June and
company, like any other concern, sat
back and waited for January ! to ar
rive until they could 60 TO work I'M
der their contract.
Mr.. johnson suddenly whisked the
discussion back to an interesting
point, by asking why there had been
secrecy In awarding the contract.
Mr.. Gray sald:1here was no secrecy
about 1T as far as the Welsbach com
pany is concerned.
Mr.. Brown says that he knew moth
ing about the criticisms regarding The
contract, remarked Mr. Johnson.
The clippings saw, said Mr. Brown
made so many mistatements that l
paid no attention to them. The man
who wrote the articlef did not know
what he was writing about.
lie could not very well know, re-
marked Mr. johnson. Nobody knew
about it,and, nobody knows about it
it now apparently, for We can find
out nothing respecting the way it
was awarded
Mr.. Reinhardt, at this point, asked
Mr. Brown: How would you like to
throw up your contract and come in
as bidder again under readvertise-
ment. You have your lamps up and
could possibly give the city a better
rate than it now has from your com
pany.
Mr.. Brown said that he would
rather have the present contract de-
termined in the court.
Mr.. Rcinhardt called attention to
the fact that when there was opposi-
ton to making ten year contract
with the Wilmington City Electric
company, the company very gen
erously and gracefully, in view of the
discussion agreed to make a six year
contract, although it had been award
ed legallya contract for ten years.
Mr.. johnson made suggestion
that the Welsbach company agree to
make six year contract in the same
manner as the ELECTRIC light company
has done. To this suggestion Mr..
Brown replied that he could not
speak definitely, but that he would
agree to lay such proposition before
the directors of the Welsbach COM
pany and then hold another confer
encc with the board.

The Morning News contained tho
above death notice to-day. There is
no truth In the report that Lee H.

to the paper no doubt by a malicious
person yesterday about noon, other
Wilmington papers received telephone
messages that Mr.. Cooch had been
out riding and that his, neck wasbrok.
en- by a fall. At the same time this
information came SO did the death
notice.
The business officers turned over
the information to the city editors
and more information was needed.
Telephone communication with par.
ties at Newport, Stanton, Newark
and Delaware City failed to find any
one who knew Of the death Of Mr.
COoch.
The notice Of the death and news
item was suppressed. Frank Cooch
who is at the Equitable Guarantee
and Trust Company stated that he
went home agreeably surprised to find
that there was no truth in the report
and that on the contrary his brother
was In perfect health and later idrove

1t has since been learned that about
noon yesterday a stranger visited
Mitchell's store at Stanton and tele-
phoned the messages. He was .un

ton of the report of the committee on

six other delegates from Montana who
tried 10 make the congress believe that
the change In the name and representa-
ton would result In the disruption Of
the organization,
During the excitement Secy. IT.

the stage and made the sensational
announcement. This Is the first time
IN the history OF the congress where
the president has been openly prompted
by one Interested In the passage Of the
measure under discussion
The president was trying to break the
table with his gavel, the delegates
were bowling and Mrs. Haskell was
still insisting upon a decision upon hel
point OF order.

who was sitting by the president ana
prodding him in the ribs. Mr.. Plum.
mer moved into the wings after Secy.
Mahon had finished.
Mrs. Haskell kept the congress In
turmoil for an hour or two and brought
to her assistance every parliamentary
point that she could think of. Points OF
order, amendments, substitutes and mo.
tons to lay on the table followed one
another in quick succession and whils
all this was going on many delegates
tried TO talk at the same time while
others continually cried for the ''ques
tlon." For time II was randemonIum
let loose and the president was power
less TO restore order.
II was seen from the outset that the
sentiment was In favor OF the change
In the Organization. but Mrs. Haskell
took care Of her part SO well that the
strength OF the opposition was not
known until the vote was taken. whei,
II was found that seven persons had
been tying up the convention the as
tonishment was profound.
