Wilmington People Up in Arms Be-
cause Trains Don't Stop Here.

A great deal Of dissatisfaction IS exc
pressed by people who travel over the
Pennsylvania railroad about the through
trains not stopping here. Not only IS the
inconvenience experienced by those ieav-

'This train does not stop at Wilmington"
In view Of the many improvements being
made here and the great increase in the

Superintendent and other officials and the
building Of the largest shops on the system
all go TO strengthen the belief that the

DIAMOND CASE

Opinion Against Fidelity
Company

Answer Bill on June 1s.

Judge Edward G. Bradford handed

Jones and others vs. the Mutual FL
deity Company. of Tennessee. incor-
porated under the laws Of Delaware.

fendant company filed demur, claim
ing that the United States Court for

opinion, however, Judge Bradford held
that the objections must be overruled,
and the defendant company required to
plead to or answer the bill by Thursday,

some strong language relative to the
firms method Of carrying on business.

Of A6dicks' Affairs

response to a bill of complaint, United
States Circuit Court Judge George NJ.
Dallas appointed yesterday George
Wharton Pepper, Of Philadelphia, re-
ceiver of the Bay State Gas Company,
of which United States Senator J.
Frank Alice is president and which is
known TO be dominated by J. Edward
Addicks.
Judge Dallas announced that he
would consider the appointment of no
person against whom there was objec-
tion. One of the lawyers asked if the
court did not think it more advisable
to select a receiver from this State.
Matters i'm Delaware in regard to
the Bay state Gas Company are. such
that it became necessary for a Phila-
delphia Judge to hear the phases of
litigation, and it is unnecessary for me
to dwell upon the advisability of Sc
lecting a receiver from that State, "
said the judge.

r. A. Lindabury Of New Jersey and
Charles o. Engstrom, of Boston, rep
lresenting the complainants, and
Il George /. Crawford, of this city, act
ing Tor the company, alleI a confer
ence announced that they had no OBJ
lection to Alexander Simpson. Jr., and

notification of Mr.. Peppers appoint
ment to Clerk Mahaffy, of the local
court.
Litigation out of which the ap-
pointment grew was started several
several years ago by executors of the
'estate of Henry Pfaff who complained
that the affairs of the Bay State Com
pany had not been conducted in the

WILL NOT OPPOSE

Senator Hanna Says He Will
Stand for Roosevelt in
Ohio Convention
so NOTIFIES THE PRESIDENT
II Is Said Votes Of Ohio, Added to
Others Who Declared For Him, viii
Give Roosevelt a Majority In Re-
publican National Convention.

Cleveland, May 27.-Senator Hanna
has decided to offer no further opposi-
tion to a proposed resolution in the
coming Republican State Convention
endorsing the candidacy of President
Roosevelt for another term. When
asked if he had heard from President
Roosevelt with reference to the discus
sion concerning his attitude in connec-
tion with the resolution Senator
Hanna made the following statement:
Il am in receipt of a telegram from
President Roosevelt which indicates to
me his desire to have the endorsement
of the Ohio State Convention Of his
administration and candidacy. In
view of this l shall not oppose such
action by the convention. and have
telegraphed the president to that
effect"
1t is the general belief, however,
among those close to the senator that
he still doubts the advisability Of the
adoption of a resolution endorsing
President Roosevelt's candidacy by
this years convention. But it is
pointed out that in deferring to the
presidents judgment and expressed
wishes Mr.. Hanna demonstrates that
his original position in the matter was
at no time prompted by personal an
tagonism to President Roosevelt.
