OVER
STANDARD OIL
House INDUCES in a Warm
Argument Concerning
Antitrust Bill
PASSED BY VOTE OF u TO s
Special 70 The Evening Journal.

Dover, March 1.-The House had a
desperate fight this morning over the
so-called tnti-standard Oil bill. It is
the House bill to provide for the highs
er test for Illuminating oils when was
favorably reported yesterday. During
the final consideration OF the bin. SONS
OF the Standard oil representatives ap-
peared to be clamoring for the privl-
lege Of the floor.
o. c. Purdy, OF Wilmington. whd
stated that he represented the Atlantic
Refining Company, finally spoke as foi-
lows:
This BIZ. increases the fire test from
10 to 150 It will only increase the
price OF oil about cents n gallon: that
is all. The oil sold In Delaware today
has fire test OF from 12O 10 1870 ana
has a greater gravity than is provided
for in this bill"
When the oil company's representa-
tive threatened the increase in price
Representative Lingo shouted: we are
willing to pay IT,"
Mr.. Purdy further contended that a
[ very foul lamD or stove only would
heat above 10 degrees The cost OF
150-test oil to dealers would Increase
two cents above the present cost.
Representative Abbott strongly ad-
vocated the passage of the bin and
that it was demanded by the farmers
who must depend entirely upon the
trust for their light.
| Representative Mahoney shouted: II
4 buy oil from the wagon that passes
my house and I cannot burn it in my
stove. / can get a higher grade OF oil
from an agent of the company

Rrandywlne Water Is Purer.

Il have not investigated the purity
of the water in Red Clay Greek, but
don't think it is as pure as the water
i'm the Brandywine for this reason:
Kennett Square and Kennett township
are situated on the stream and the
drainage of these places naturally
finds its way into the water. I also
think there are several other towns in
the water shed Of the stream but ann
not quite sure.
THE probabilities are that in pro-
portion the population along the Red
Clay Creek Is as great as the popula-
ton along the Brandywine AS to the
cost of constructing a water system
from that point I think the expendi-
ture would be as great as by going tc
Rockland. Red Clay Creek is foui
miles in back Of Wilmington. and what
ever interference there would be with
mill owners would also have to be ad.
justed."

RED CLAY CREEK
NOT PRACTICABLE
Flow Not Adequate to
Meet the Needs of the
City
BRAHDYWINt is MORE DESIRABLE

For some days past considerable has
been said concerning the subject OF
Red Clay Creek as C. source OF water
supply for this city. To learn ~ pos
sible whether the flow Of this stream
is adequate to supply Wilmington with
what water is needed for daily con-
sumption here. a reporter for The
Evening Journal today called upon
Chief Engineer Theodore a. Leisen. of
the Water Department, and the latter
made the following statement:
"In the first place the Red Clay
Creek question Is not new and has been
given due consideration by the Water
Board. The drainage area OF the
stream is only about one-sixth that OF
the Brardywine. that is taking 1t "a
the mouth of the stream while the
Brandywine is taken from this city e
the headwaters OF that water body.

comparison Of WAC FIow.

THE total daily flow Of the Red Clay
Creek is only about fifteen per cent. Of
that OF the Brandywine or IN gallons,
about 2O.Oo0.0O0 The minimum or dry
weather flow is but 100000 gallons in
each twenty-fOur hours. whereas the
dailyconsumption OF water at presentin
this city is between 100000 and O0O.-
600. A weeks dry spell would cause a
water famine under these conditions.
This, in itself, shows without further
argument that the flow in the stream
is inadequate to supply the city at
present or for future needs.

B. Dunlap Was Largely
Attended
SIMPLE BUT SOLEMN SERVICES

With the simplicity and solemnity
which markes the burial service of the
Episcopal Church, all that was mortal
OF the Rev. Martin r. Dunlap was con-
signed to its last resting place meath
the shadows Of Old Swedes Church this
morning.
The body, enclosed in a handsome oak
casket, the hf of which was maulded
into the form of a cross, lay all last
night in tho old church and the placid
countenance OF the dead rector was
viewed by many of his associates
throughout life and many were the
tears that were shed by those who had
good cause to remember his kindly and
loving acts while he was among them.
The services began at 11S0 o'clock
and were conducted by Archdeacon
George c. Hall. assisted by the Rev.
Hamilton NJ. Phelps. rector OF st.
Thomas Church. Newark, and the Rev.
Frederick NJ. Kirkus, rector of Trim
ity Church, and the Rev. Mr.. Olmsted,
rector Of Old Swedes.
The entire clergy Of the diocese sat
within the chancel with bowed heads as
the ritual for the dead was read, and
the vested choir sang hymns appropri-
ate to the service.
Buried Near Church.
At the conclusion OF the services the
body was borne to the grave. which
was opened near the north wall of the
church and directly to the rear of the
rostrum in the church, from which DR.
Dunlap has spoken words of love and
consolation to his congregation. The
grave sides were encased in stone slabs
on the top of which were sprigs OF box
wood and pink carnations. The serv-
/ ices at the grave were bidef and were

Probable North Sea Verdict.

Paris, Feb. 8. - The statement is
made in official circles that proof will
be placed before the North sea inquiry
commission showing that the Baltic
fleet fired upon the private yacht of
the king of Greece, which was proceed
ing from Denmark to France. One of
the foreign members of the commission
is authority for the statement that, ac-
cording to official information, final
decision of the commission will be
such as Ito enable the Russians to
walk out with their heads erect.
''It is believed" the commissioner
added, that the Russians acted in
good faith, but that the continuance
of their fire for fully nine minutes may
fall heavily in the scales"

right. The Englishman has heard of
you and will accept it without ques-
ton. You understands"
Yes, Clint Bayland understood, and
he understood the significance of a
small roll which Battleseas hand
dropped carelessly upon his desk as
he turned and went out. 1t was a
first installment for his reputation.
And Clara Faxon, the most beautiful
girl in twenty miles around, was the
daughter of the old man whom Battle
sea would be glad to help.
He walked neryously to the window
of the office and looked out, not daring
to trust his eyes with second glance
at the small roll on his desk. He
did need the money SOrely, more than
he would care to have anyone know.
And 1t was only an indication of what
would come. With Battlesea, who
owned more mine and town property
than any ten men in the country, as
his friend, his prosperity would be
assured.
But somehow the thought of the
prosperity did not give him the pleas
ure that 1t ought. Oddly enough, his
mind went over the snow-clad peaks
to the mother he had left in the East,
and from her to-Clara Faxon. What
would they think?
A smart runabout swung up to the
Office door, and a handsome young fell
low of about his own age raised a
reckoning finger. The other occupant
of the runabout was Clara Faxon.
Clint left the window and went to
the door.
