Dover. Feb. 23.-The Senatorial deadlock
seemed today to have reached a settled
groove. But one ballot was taken and it
was again without effect. Whether the
lack of important developments is due to
the announcement that J. Edward Ad-
dicks is paying off his debts and there
fore rehablitating himself financially OF
10 some other cause, is not apparent on
the surface, but it is probable tha1 tne
former statement has some bearing on 'ne
sit,atton. There were five pairs announced
during the joint session, thus making 'ne
total vote AZ. The ballot was

s+ate5 TO-DAY that Addicks could create
ao.alocl, on the senatorship no matter
be aid not possess "a dollar and II o'he
candidates were wealthy
rrba nrincipal reason why the Aodlck
followers are in IA better humor, however
is because this action on the part of thei
leader shows that he is paying his bills
an argument which they heretofore haV
Z not been able to resent.

by william f. Kurtz and James Fl. Kant

interests were looked after by the Re'
DR.. Robert Watt. Of Smyrna and the Re'
Joseph Brown Turner, and. the Rev. ID

hours and until near the end of the meei
ing. Then there was a lively tilt betwee

K ''Well. I'll say one word or two and the

"Then sit down now shouted Mr.. Tu

subsequently Mr. Turner expressed d
light over Mr.. Kane's expression Of il
