PUSHING WORK ON NEW
RAILROAD BUILDINGS
Will Rush Them to Compile
ton to Make Room for
Elevated

Work upon tho new shops of the Penn
svlvania railroad at Todd's Cut will be
pushed with all haste so as to get the
of the company in this city out
of the way of the construction of the ele-
waited road. which they are now hindering.
1t is the intention of the company to
complete the power house first and this
will be followed by the saw mill. Tho
next building to be finished will be the
blacksmith shop and the freight car re-
pair department will be next finished.
While the work on these buildings is pro-
pressing the round house will be con-
structed and it is the belief that 1t will
be finished by the first of June. The round
house is an immense building and work
upon its foundation has gone on all Win
ter. 1t viii accommodate many more en-
gines than the present structure and Is
specially designed to meet the require
ments Of the big engines, recently intro
duced on the Delaware road, which have
caused so much trouble at the old round
house.
The buildings viii be finished in the TO
tation where the ground space is most
badly needed here for the erection Of the
elevated.
The contractors are experiencing much
trouble in securing good laborers and the
construction Of the buildings will be re-
tarded to a certain extent from this
cause.
Work on all the buildings is now going
on by the different contractors and the
scene at Todd's Cut is a busy one, there
being several hundred laborers employed
there.

FIshermen eIve views.

Then followed a general discussion in
which several OF the fishermen took part,
explaining how they fished and the courses
they took.
William Anderson, New Castle County
Fish Commissioner, in a short talk ecx-
planned to the commission that both sides
OF the river were now used by Delaware
fishermen in catching shad and that the
best sturgeon fishing was on the Eastern
or Jersey shore.
Joseph Anderson, a brother of the Fish
Commissioner was asked regarding the ar
rest Of his men and damage to his boat
and tackle by New Jersey authorities. He
said; MY men were fishing on the Dela.-
ware side of the river, but the New Jer-
sey authorities claimed they were in mid
stream and arrested them. /, as citizen
Of the State of Delaware, do not believe
they had the right to arrest the men and
action in the case is still pending. II tho
claim Of Delaware to the river is sus-
tanned 1 shall sue to recover $500 damage

further said:

wise for us to give away property which

Much Money Involved.

The fishing industry within the bound

is large one. There are about 1G5 boats
within the circle and each Of them earns
about $3.50 a month during the shad sea-

Governor Hum was to have been at

Many were disappointed as It was rum

II is said that Senator Alice will enter

finding one 70 suit his tastes. According
10 the stories told by some Of his friends,
Mr.. Addicks, his wife and his two daugh-
bers will practically make their headquar-
ers at the Alice home.
It IS said that Mr.. Addlcks' two foster
daughters. the Misses Rosalie and
Marjorie Wilson Addicks are delighted
with tho prospects of spending several
gay seasons in Washington. OF course
they would have preferred to have figured
as the daughters of Senator Addicks, but
still they viii have a good time helping
Mr.. Alice entertain his guests.
Mr.. Addicks to Be There.
Mr.. Addioks will make the house his
headquarters and will be introduced to the
prominent Senators and Congressman
who will be invited. An effort viii be
made by him TO change the opinion public
men have formed by reading the stories In
the newspapers and magazines. The
friends OF Addlcks are afraid he will not
do this as they know OF old, that he cam
not keep his mouth shut at the right time
The wives and daughters OF the Kent
and Sussex county Union Republicans are
counting on seeing Washington. They
figure that as their husbands or fathers
voted to elect Alice he should help them
climb the social ladder.

what he thought about allowing the fish
ermen OF both States to use the rive-
where they wanted ITO said: Every man
who fishes for living should go where he
can catch the most fish and I think If tho
nlver were thrown open to both Delaware
and New Jersey fishermen to go where
they want there would be no trouble"
The general impression Of all the fish-
ermen was that the river be conceded TO
Delaware, but that an agreement be made
that fishermen from both States should
cast their nets wherever they wanted, but
that they should camp upon their own
shores, but that no Jersey authorities bo
placed in the river and that all cases be
tried before Delaware courts, as the
water is part of the State and that the
game warden's duty was only to prevent
Sunday fishing and the close OF tho sea-
son.

Delaware
Delaware Men Do Not
Want New Jersey to
Place Officers on the
River


Hall, Delaware City, last night TO learn
what the fishermen wanted regarding a
settlement in reference TO the boundary of
Delaware river between this State and
New Jersey.
The meeting was the outcome OF an
overture Of the New Jersey authorities.
who wish to settle the disputes constantly
occurring between fishermen Of the two
States. The state Of New Jersey claims
an Imaginary boundary in the middle otshe
river and because Delaware fishermen
have not acceded to their laws they have
been arrested.
History of Trouble.
The whole trouble arises from the twelve
mile circle from the old Court House a..
New Castle, which covers the whole of the
Delaware nver as far down as Port Penn.
Delaware claims the river to the low tide
mark on the Jersey shore. Under the
grant of the Duke OF York to William
Penn in 1852 the twelve mile circle was
established from the fort in New Castle
which stood about where the Court House
now stands. This circle took in portion
.of New Jersey. In the adoption OF the
NbllrANltlpAA VI l4i1 AAAAtIA 0+eANoo N@A1 ~
tion of land lying beyond the Delaware
river was conceded to New Jersey.
The question Of fishing in the waters of
the Delaware at this point was later set
tied by the Jerseymen paying an annual
fee of $50 and the Delawareans s. for the
right Ito fish in the river. The Jerseymen
thinking they were being wronged made a
strong objection to the fee, the outcome
OF which was, the Superior Court placed
an injunction upon the river and as a
consequence Delaware lost much money
from the fees, which have not been col
lected since that time and the question
arose regarding the boundary between
the two States in the middle Of the river.
1t was atA the suggestion Of the New
Jersey authorities that commission OF
three men be appointed including the Gov
ernor. the Attorney-General and another
person, to arbitrate and make an amicable
settlement if possible.
1t was to this end that the meeting was
held IN Delaware City last night, ut being
relected as about the centre of the dis
puted territory.
Attorney-General Ward and George H
Bates two of the Delaware Commission
went there TO learn what the fishermen
thought of a settlement and to get their
views upon the situation generally.
T. Bayard Heisel was elected chairman
of the nesting and William Townsend
secretary. Mr.. Ward was the first speak
er and he made a statement explaining the
objects of the meeting. He said that At
torney-General McCortle. Of New Jersey
seemed to admit a compact between tn,
two States and agreed that each Stat,
hold a meeting and get the sentiment oi
the people and hold a conference Of Kh,
commissions to see If a compact could b,
drawn Of mutual advantage to botl
States.
In closing his talk Mr.. Ward said: IT
a compact cannot be made to be Of ad
vanage to Delaware fishermen. then W,
do not want to make one, we want en-
Ightenment on the subject, so that w
may talk intelligently to the New Jerse,
Commission"

The noise they made caused a suspen-
sion of business IN the Senate. Senator
Teller was talking, but he stopped and
looked with amazement at the crowd OF
heavy men from Delaware filing into the
galleries. When they were all seated
Senator Teller went on with his speech.
Governor HUM was brought into the
chamber by Representative Ball. His
hair was closely cropped and his big black
mustache and air of embarrassment gave
him the appearance of a heavyweight
puglMst in his best clothes.
Few of the Senators knew him, but SO
great was the interest aroused by his ap'
pearance that 1T was not dong before his
name had been passed around both side:
of the chamber.
Senator Hanna was the first to hurr,
over to where he sat and extend a warn
greeting. As he arose 10 shake hands witt
Hanna the Delaware Governor towere'
above the man from Ohio in a way tina
made the latter look insignificant.

AIIee Looks Friahtened.

A few moments later J. Frank Alice en-
tered He looked frightened and embar-
raised. His statement that he never ex-
pected to be elected a United States Sem
ator was fully borne out by his demeanor.
Senator Hanna asked a suspension OF
business until two new Senators from
Delaware could be placed. And when he
had made his point he took Alice by the
arm and led him down the centre aisle
to the Presidents desk. They were fol-
lowed by Senator Aldrich and Senator
Ball.
Senator Frye administered the oath, and
after having sworn the new members 20
support the flag and the Constitution and
several other things he hesitated few
moments, trying TO remember the last
sentences. The men from Delaware in
the galleries thought he was going to
make Alice swear he would not resign
There was a sigh of relief when the oath
was finished without the Interpolation Of
any new conditions.

peIaware Visitors AppIaud.

AS the two new Senators were marched
down the aisle the Delaware men ap-
plauded vigorously, and they broke forth
in applause again after Alice and Ball had
been sworn I'm and conducted to seats.
When Senator Teller, who still held the
floor resumed his speech with the state
ment that he also felt like applauding the
renewal Of Delaware's representation in
the Senate the Delaware men again ap-
plaudod This time they were checked
by Senator Frye, who said that while the
applause had been all right up to that
point IL must not be continued.
After this the Delaware men remained
silent in the gallery and wondered as the
minutes went by why Alice did not get
up and address the Senate. They also
wondered why the Senators appeared to
have forgotten that there was such a
person as Mr.. Alice in the Senate cham
Der, and why it was that Senator BAH.
who is known there. could walk easily
about addressing first one man and then
another with apparent familiarity.
Day a Great One for Delaware.
It was all so wonderful to the mon from
Delaware that they got tired Of 1t very
quickly and retired from the gallery,
making almost as much noise as they
went out as they did when they came in.
In the corridor they were Joined by
Alice and Ball and were shown about the
Capitol. attracting much attention every
where. Tonight the whole delegation
was entertained at dinner at the Airing
ton by Senator Alice.
1t was a great day for Delaware, when
for the first time i'm four years the State
was again represented by two members

circumstance that marred the occasion
