HUM HOLDING UP
IMPORTANT BILL
Pressure Being Brought to
Bear to Keep Him From
Signing Auditors Act
WOULD PROTEST STATE FINANCES
Governor Making the Plea That He
Does Not Wish to Put the State
to Additional Expense for Sal
aries.
Special to The Evening Journar.


Dover, April 4-One of the most i'm
portant bills which THE governor may
renuse to sign within his thirty-day
limit this month is that passed in the
rush OF the closing sessions clothing the
State Auditor Of Accounts with the au-
thority and duties Of a comptroller of
accounts, making his signature neces-
sary upon all State warrants. and really
giving him fiduci powers over the
State funds
This bill increases the salary OF the
auditor $500, gives him am additional
clerk OF his own appointment at $500.
and provides him with a contingent
fund of $500, 10 remunerate the official
from the extraordinary duties imposed
upon him. These require the Secretary
of State, clerks of the peace Of each
county. sherifs and other officers doing
business with the people in return for
fees, to make bi-monthly returns to
the auditor by itemized bill in dupli-
cate. showing precisely what transac-
tions involving money, fees, whether
personal or State or county. have oc-
cupied the attention of this Office during
that time
Should the State Treasurer and State
Auditor at any time disagree over the
payment OF State funds. either in or out
OF the treasury, the bill provides that
the Chancellor shall be called in as the
third official Of reference and the final
arbiter.
The bill Is being held up in the State
Department. and. it is said will not hs
signed by the Governor for the reasor
that the last Legislature made a larg'
loutlay toward increasing the salarieH o
State officials. and, witla '1ne Safeguard
OF expert aceopnttsslis,s examining all ~
= -iSiate books at the end of each year,

DEPOT TO STAND
ON PRESENT SITE
Pennsylvania Railroad Sta
ton and Office Building to
be Commodious One
ANOTHER DEPARTMENT TO COME
Superintendent r. L. Holiday, Of the
Delaware Road, May Be Transferred
With His Staff to New Station in
This City.

That the elevated passenger station
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will be upon the site of the pres
ent depot, as was first made known
through the columns Of the Evening
Journal, is now an assured fact
The company is anxious to get the
station completed as soon as possible
so as to concentrate the work. At pres
ent the different departments are scat
tered about the city, whereas a place
could be found to locate them. The
new station building viii be large
enough to accommodate all the depart
ments and it will be an immense
building. The report that the struc-
ture would be eight stories high is not
true. The building will be lower and
win cover a big territory just south Of
the present tracks. This is done to
have the offices on as few floors as
possible. making them more accessible
IL will be necessary to drive piling
as a foundation for the new building,
as the ground upon which it is to be
built was formerly washed by the
waters of the Christiana, and boats
sailed over all that section of the city
las far up as the churchyard of Asbury
Church as late as 1860.
It is said accommodations for Super
lintendent Holiday. of the Delaware di-
vision, whose offices are now at Clay
ton. will be made in the new building,
and that he and his staff will be re-
moved to this city upon its completion.
For some time it was a question in
railroad circles whether Superintend-
lent Barnard would not be removed to
Baltimore, but that, too, has been set
tied, and he viii remain here. The
fact of General Superintendent Brooks
coming here settled that point, as IT
was thought expedient TO have the SUI
perintendents together and for the
same reason superintendent Holiday
4 may be brought here
The machine shops viii be removed
to the new buildings at Todd's Cut
/ which viii be larger than was origi-
nally intended. it being found they
would be inadequate to meet the in
creased demands upon them.
The main building of the new sta
ton will be on the south side of the
tracks. but n large room on the first
floor will be a general waiting room
- where the ticket offices, baggage de-
y partment and express rooms will be
r located. On the south side viii be the
. largest waiting room, as the majority
a OF travel is northward. but on the othel
, side a smaller room will also be bull
for the accommodation of those trav
cling South. They will be reached by
staircases from the lobby on the frs
floor, thus doing away with the cross
y ing of the tracks.
All the foundations for the ney
{ building will be finished before colt
p weather sets in, but it is not likely tn
) new depot will be completed before
year from this time.

DAIRY IOTTINGS

The natural temperature of milk is
about 100 degrees or little more. The
calf should be fed milk about this tenn
perature, and cold or sour milk never
fed.
Place small Jumps OF rock salt in the
pals from which cows are fed.
Milk from n newly calved COW
should not be sent TO the factory until
after seven milkings.
If rape and lucorne be allowed TO
wilt in the sun for some hours after
being wet and fed To cattle immediate
jy after being MIXED, the taint in the
milk will he very slight aud will disap-
pear entirely after cooling. and good,
sweet butter can be made from it.
Milk should be treated in the same
way when wild mustard or wild carrot
is abundant in the hay.
Ensilage which has become consider
ably spoiled and smells very strong
should never be near cows when they
are being MIXED, or while the milk is
close to n manger, as the smell is so
strong from such ensilage that milk
will absorb it from the outside.
If n cow has n sore teat that will be
injured by the hands in milking. do not
wet it with milk. but use little vase
line.
