NEW TOGA WEARERS
MEN WHO REPRESENT DELAWARE
IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

How J. Edward Addicks Fought
Vninly For Fourteen Years TO
Reach the Upper House of Congress.
Story OF "a Famous Political Battle.
When the United States senate con-
vened in special session on March 3,
the little state of Delaware, which for
two years had been without representa-
tives in the upper house of congress
and for four years had but one senator.
had n full delegation in the persons of
Its newly elected senators, j. Frank
Alice for the long term, which expires
in 1907, and Lewis Heisler Ball for the
short term, which expires in 1905. Both
are Republicans.
For the past fourteen years politics
In Delaware has been of the strenu-
Gus order, due mainly TO the efforts of
j. Edward Addicks to don the senate
rial toga, but il was not until 1898 that
the split came in the Republican ranks
that resulted the next year in leaving
the state with but one senator and cul-
minated in 1900 with Delaware being
without representation in the senate.
Seven times Mr.. Addcks has tried
for the honor of representing the state
In the United States senate, but has as
many times failed, although the elec-
ton of Mr. Alice is regarded as par
tial victory for him, as he dictated his
election.
His first essay was In 1883, before
the caucus of the Republican members
Of the legislature. Anthony Higgins
got the nomination and was elected.
He entered the field again in 1892, but
the Democrats carried the state and
George Gray was elected to the senate.
In 1894, when Mr.. Higgins term was
about to expire, Mr., Addicks tried
again. Mr.. Higgins was also candi-
date, and deadlock ensued, lasting
from Jan. II to May 3, when the gov
| ernor of the state declared the joint
convention adjourned sine die without
an election.
From that time dates the split of the
party into the two factions, styled
union and regular Republicans. Each
faction put state ticket in the field
| In 1896, which threw the election to the
Democrats and sent Richard II. Ken
ney to the senate. Mr.. Addicks returned
to the charge in 1898, when there was
another deadlock, lasting until the ad-

1ournment of the legislature in March,
1899. One hundred and thirteen ballots
altogether were taken in the joint con-
vention.
Then came the great campaign OF
1900. The legislature which met in
1901 was Republican, but again the
party was divided into two factions,
classed as unionists and regulars. the
session came to close on March
with two seats then vacant in the up
per house of congress.
Last fall the two factions united on
a state ticket which was elected, but
ran separate candidates for the lower
house of congress, with the result that
Henry NJ. Houston Dem.) was elected
to succeed L. Heisler Ball, who mas
now been chosen senator.
During the last winter Mr.. Addlcks
was the candidate of his section OF the
party for both the long and the snort
term in the senate. The fight was per-
sistently waged until the deadlock was
broken by the withdrawal of Mr.. Ad-
dicks as candidate, when each rae
ton of the Republican party elected
senator.
l. Frank Alice, who was electeu 10
the senate for the long term, IS ma
five of Delaware and for tweuty-ohe
years has owned and conducted Jew
elry store in Dover. He first became
interested in politics in 1870, when
Henry A. Richardson, who was MS
friend. ran for governor on the RepuD-
lican ticket.
Mr.. Alice then became Interested
with Mr. Addcks and has since been
closely associated with that wing OF
tbe Republican party. He was elected
+o tho state senate in 1893 and l9o2.
Mr. Alice is also associated In business
with Mr. Addicks and is president OF
the Bay State Gas company OF Dela-
vora and of the Staten Island BrlcK
company. He is about forty-nVe years
old. ,uoo,s col.

The grand vizier of Turkey talks
very nicely about what the Turkish
government hopes to do for the Mace
domains and then asserts that II Is
hampered by complaints of unavolda-
BILE bitches. This is the same old story.
1t is simply a revival of what has TAX
en- place when complaints have before
been made to the sultan. He is a
chronic excuse maker, and no one now
knows whether he has any intention of
carrying out the reforms he has pledged
the powers TO make I'm Macedonia. The
chances are that he will not make the
reforms II he can help it any more than
he pays his debts II he can get rid OF 1t.

Professor wagner's Argument.

Descanting upon the Monroe doc
trine. Professor Adolf Wagner Of the
University Of Berlin asserts. first. that
the policy really does not exist; sec
ondly. that the United States has no in
terest In maintaining IL. and. thirdly.
that anyway II hasn't the power to en-
force II. and. fourthly. that Europe
would better unite against this prepos-
ferrous assumption.
This argument resembles the state
ment of the woman who was accused
Of breaking a bowl which she had bor-
rowed from a neighbor She swore,
first, that the bowl was not broken
when she returned II; secondly. that
the bowl was broken when she borrow
cd It; thirdly, that she had not borruw-
ed the bowl at all, and, fourthly, that
she wouldn't pay for 1t even IL she did
break II.
Whether or not the Monroe doctrine
exists in the niad Of the learned pro
fessor. there Is good enough evidence
that 1t was sufficiently In force TO balb
the German schemes of territorial ag
grandizement and colonization In Ven
ezuela.

MOVING SIDEWALKS.
NEW WORKS. LATEST SCHEME Or
PASSENGER TRANSFORMATION.
How Thousands VIII BE Carried TO
and Fro on Continuous Movins
Underground Platforms Details
of q Novel Plan.

Among the many methods OF trans
portation In course OF construction or
now employed TO move the hundreds OF
thousands of New Workers TO and from
their daily toll the most unique and
novel is the proposed moving under
ground sidewalk, Oh which 1t is assert
ed $4,000 passengers per hour can be
comfortably carried.
While the new scheme is popularity
known as moving sidewalk" ii is
really system OF moving platforms
or continuous trains. A corporation, TO
be known as the Continuous Transit
company, is in process of organization,
and the details Of the plan have been
presented 10 the city officials for ac-
ton. The company will have for Its
vesant Fish, president OF the Illinois
Central railroad, vice president, and +.
+. Ripley, president Of the Atchison
railway, is one of the moving spirits
and heavy stockholders in the corpora
ton. 1t is estimated that the cost Of
digging the tunnel and the cost of the
moving platforms will be about $1,000
600.
The plan as outlined is to dig SUBJ
way about thirty feet wide and only
deep enough to clear the street above.
There will be stations every two
blocks. The main line will consist Of
one sidewalk moving in each direction.
Each will be seven feet wide and will
run in depression. with sixteen feet
Of space between. This middle space
will be at level with the surface OF
the platform. On the main platform
there will be two rows of seats facing
the center, thus making sort of fence
at the sides. Those who sit down will
travel at the rate of ten miles an hour,
but the space between the seats will
enable those who prefer TO walk TO dc
so. thus accelerating their speed that
much toward their destination.
There will be no more congestion
than on the sidewalk OF an ordinary
street, for the reason that there will be
no waiting for trains. The main line In
the projected road will consist of third
rail roofiess trolley fat cars, each M.
teen feet long. Each will carry an elec
trio light lamppost. There will be
guards for each four cars to assist
timid ones to alight. call out stations

Operations Of the Elkins Law.

1t has been asserted In some quar- rters
that the Elkins law forbidding railroad
rebates will not affect the business
methods Of the larger systems but it
will injure the smaller roads "by deny
Ing to them the privilege of granting
rebates to secure business"
AS a matter of fact the law enacts
nothing new whatever except in the
method of enforcement. The interstate
commerce commission regulations have
forbidden rebates. drawbacks or any
departure from published rates for six
teen years. That the carrying compa-
MES have generally disregarded these
restrictions is tacitly admitted by the
carriers themselves, and the commits
sioners have been In the main power
less to enforce them. Whether the rail-
roads will be able to override the re-
enacted prohibition against rebates re-
mains to be seen. The assertion that
it "will not affect the business methods
of the larger systems would seem to
indicate that the big roads are regard
ed as sufficiently powerful to nullify
its provisions, while the smaller ones
would be too impotent to destroy 1t.
The smaller. like the greater, lines
are forbidden by the new law. as they

This is the story of man who writes
stories, of small man with big brain
and the nerve and endurance and per-

About eight years ago Sewell Ford, a
hardworking newspaper man. decided
that he would write short stories worthy
of the best magazines. His days were
devoted TO newspaper work. and the
only time he had for fiction was at
night after hard days grind at the
desk. The outlook was not encourag-
ing; but wholly undaunted, he sat

One effect Of the new Elkins anti

was perhaps not anticipated by con-
