Little important business was trans
acted this morning at the meeting OF

LOCAL FIRM Gets
A BIG CONTRACT
Diamond State Steel Com
pany Making Railroad
Plates

The Diamond State Steel Company
began work yesterday on one of the
largest contracts it has had for some
time The contract is the manufacture
of rairoad tie plates for a western
firm and will keep the plant busy until
late in the spring.
The plates were first contracted for
by a St. Louis firm, but it could not
make them. The local plant was more
successful, however, they turning the
first plate yesterday afternoon which
met the specifications.
Thep lates are made with grooves,
something similar to a curry-comb and
prevent the rails from spreading. They
are a new invention and those now be-
ing turned out by the Diamond State
are the first successfully made.
To make these plates it was neces-
sary for the local plant to install new
rolls and other machinery which was
done in the ten-inch mill.
Several of the officers of the firm
were there when the first successful
plate was turned out yesterday after
noon and feel justly proud of the ac-
complishment.

COMMITTEE SAYS
TOO MUCH POLITICS
That Given AS Ostensible
Reason for Its Failure to
Confirm Appointment

The announcement in the Evening
Journal yesterday that the Judiciary.
Committee of the United States Senate
had refused to confirm the re-appoint-
ment of William Michael Byrne as
United States District Attorney caused
great surprise in Delaware. and it is
uie general topic Of conversation among
politicians and others mot in politics.
The reasons for the adverse action
of the judiciary Committee are given
as too great political activity. but
the controlling influence Is believed to
have been the determination not TO
sanction an Addicl1s man. The vote is
understood to have stood three RepuIb-
Leans and one Democrat in favor of
confirmation. and five Republicans and
four Democrats against confirmation.
The members decline TO discuss their
action, but the vote is known to have
been as follows:
Senator McComas, of Maryland is
understood to have championed Mr..
Byrne's nomination and the other two
Republicans who stood by him are re-
ported TO have been Senators Depew
of New York, and Simon, of Oregon.
Senator Pettus. of Alabama, is said to
have been the Democrat who voted for
confirmation. Senator Hoar, of Mass
achusetts, chairman of the committee,
was very much opposed to Mr. Byrne's
nomination and associated with him
on the Republican side of the commit
tee we're Senators Platt, of COnnecti-
cut; Clarke, of Wyoming; Fairbanks,
of Indiana. and Nelson. of Minnesota.
The Democrats who voted in opposition
to the confirmation were Senators Ba-
con, of Georgia; Turner, of Washing
ton; Culberson, of Texas and Black
burn. of Kentucky
IL is understood that most OF the
members of the Wilmington Bar OPP
posed Mr.. Byrne's confirmation as
District Attorney. His record in that
office was investigated and the action
of the Judiciary Committee is reported
10 have been based upon the reports
brought 10 il concerning Mr.. Byrne's
fitness for the place. Some OF tn,
philadelphia papers intimate that JohI
p. Nields. who was appointed aftei
the resignation of Mr.. Byrne. took al
active part in the opposition, but thi:
J is not the case. Mr. Nields took alb
solutely no part in it, maintaining {
neutral attitude.

KENNAN' s STORY
ALMOST READY
1t Is That of Addicks in Della
ware Politics and Will APP
pear in "The Outlook
WEEKS IN OBTAINING MATERIAL

The Author Is Regarded As One Of the
Greatest Special Correspondents in
the World and the Interest in His
Forthcoming Story Is Very Great.
What promises to be- one Of the most
remarkable political stories ever writ
ten will appear in the Outlook this
week, and will run through several
numbers II is the story of Addicks in
Delaware politics. by George Kennan.
Mr. Kennan came to Delaware with the
avCwed intention Of writing the true
story of the AddiclSs affair, and those
who know the man understand that it
Is the only kind Of a story he would
consent to write He spent several
weeks going from place to place and
searching for the news wherever it
could be found. He began with the
President and carried it down to the
political workers in the various dis
tricts.
Il is related that when he was about
TO begin on the assignment. a prominent
government official in Washington sent
for him and expressed interest He said:
Mr.. kennan it is unnecessary for you
to go from place to place interviewing
everyone. You can get the full story
In all of its details from three persons
who know it all and who will not give
It partisan bias. They are j. Frank
Alice, Secretary OF State Layton and
Insurance Commissioner Marshall"
KEENAN, decided, however, not only to
interview these gentlemen. but hum
dred or two other persons.
Another incident connected with this
story shows the dread that its forth
coming publication inspires. A few
ldays since the newspaper men
at Dover decided to make a
call on prominent State Of
hcer. Among them was the represen-
tative of great New York paper The
official was voluble. AMI declared that
most Of the great newspapers are op-
posed to Addicks because they have
. beon subsidized. What" said the
+ newspaper man. do you mean to say
that the Press the Ledger the Tribune
e Sun and Herald have been bought?'
The official gave no direct answer. but
continued TO assert that Addicks had
been greatly abused. Then he re-
/ marked. George Kennan has been
down here getting materials for a story.
3 don't know what it will be, but 1
presume il will rehash the old lies"
That brought the newspaper man to
his feet II must say" he exclaimed.
THAT George Kennan doesn't lie. What
ever he writes about Addicks or anyone
else will be the truth. He is one OF
my closest friends; l have been with
him on many assignments. We were
together in Martinique. He doesn't
lie, advertantly or inadvertantly be-
cause he is too conscientious and care
ful. That ended the interview.
When it is remembered that Mr..
kennan is regarded as one Of the great
est special correspondents in the world.
the interest in his forthcoming story of
our politics is very great. Instead OF
3 In Darkest Russia" il may be a story
y of darkest Delaware.

four premiums is the record that made
this man a strong advocate Of life in
surance.
Milford. Del, Jan. O. 1908.
Mr.. Herbert n. Fell. Manager.
Wilmington, Del
Dear Sir: Having been for so long
a time "a policy-holder of The Mutual
Life. and having recently taken an adj
ditional policy on the continuous in
stallment plan, which provides an an
nual income for Mrs. Townsend as long
as she lives / win not only comply with
your request by telling you what /
think of the policy that l have just
taken, but, with your permission, will
also review the results Of my invest
ment begun with The Mutual Life in
1887.
The policy I purchased at that time
was issued on the Twenty Payment
Life, Ten-Year Distribution plan. and
In 1897. ten years later / received a
dividend of nearly three premiums. at
which time the company offered to add
to my policy, instead of paying me the
cash dividend, over six years premi-
ums. thereby making my insurance cost
me only four premiums in the ten years.
While I realized that this was the best
option TO accept. circumstances were
such that l took the cash dividend,
which, l assure you, was very satisfac-
tory. Another five years have now
rolled around on this policy. and I am
again In receipt OF n dividend for the
past five years. which is equally as sat
isfactory as that paid me for the first
ten years.
In reference to the Continuous In
stallment policy,which you recently de-
livered to me, I would state that this
form OF insurance seems to me 20 sup
ply a long-felt want. Many men have
by hard work and great economy, ac-
cumulated very nice estates which
have been gone through with I'm only a
few years, and which have been OF
slight benefit to those left behind. not
withstanding the fact that it took an
entire lifetime TO accumulate them
What particularly like about the Con-
tinuous lnstallment plan is that, nc
matter how long my wife may live af-
ter my death, she will continue TO draw
an income from The Mutual Life each
year, and, while I hope TO leave hei
something I'm addition to this. l car
safely state that there will be no asset
in my estate that will yield her so sure
an income as this policy.
Yours very truly,
Col. Theodore Townsend.

GAR TENDERS NOT SUCCESSFUL
The fitting Of Single Truck Cars Have
Caused Several to Be De-
molished.

The Tenders placed upon the trolley
cars of this city are not giving salts
faction on the single truck cars. The
fitting of the cars causes the Tenders
to come in contact with the cobble
stones. and as consequence several
have been demolished. Il is different
on the large double truck cars. there
not being so much motion and the
tenders can be run much nearer the
surface.
IL is likely that the present tenders
will be dispensed with and wheel fen
drs. similar to those in use in Phila-
