otto COMPANY WILL
LOCATE PLANT HERE
Word to This Effect Has
Been Received by Alfred
O. Crozier

Alfred o. Crozier states that he has re-
ceived a letter from an officer Of the Otto
Gas Engine Works. to the effect that the
company has definitely decided to locate
its plant in this city. Tho company has
reached this conclusion despite the many
nattering offers received from other cities
The city Of Erie, Pa, strained evedy
effort 10 get the Otto Company TO build
there 1t not only offered a cash bonus
OF more than 100000. but also agreed to
furnish a site and TO give the Otto Com
pany a gas franchise.
Mr. Crozier has made several trips to
Philadelphia recently to consult with the
officials Of the Otto Company.
one Of the strongest factors that ap-
pealed to the Otto Company was the
natural advantages Of the city itself. The
Otto officials found that they could get
the best transportation facilities by water
and rail. and above all that they regard
the possibility Of the Delaware and Ches-
apeake canal being made a ship waterway
tiana on which 20 erect a plant.
The decision OF the Otto Company to
remove its works here, it is said, will
have the effect Of bringing one other large
industry TO Wilmington. This concern is
a large foundry at Erie Pa, manufacture
ers Of castings Of all sizes. For a number
Of years this foundry it is said, has been
manufacturing all castings used by
the Otto Gas Engine Works and It is in
order to be near that plant that the foun-
dry people have also practically decided
z a. mn.
pany will probably sell the foundry people
part Of its property south Of the Chris
tiana on which TO erect a foundry.
The work Of erecting new buildings and
removing the Philadelphia plant Of the
Otto works to Wilmington VIII probably
be started early in the spring

OBJECT TO SALE
OF THE RAILWAY
Farmers Say West Chester
and Kennett Square Com
pany Broke Agreement
WANT CROSSINGS OVER TRACKS

The application Of Thomas +. Bay
ard in United States Court this morning
as ancillary receiver for Delaware for
the West Chester Kennett Square and
Wilmington Railway Company for an
order to sell tbe property Of the COM
pany in this State, was opposed by
William S. Hilles and Lilburne Chand-
Ter representing clients through whose
land the company's line passes.
Mr.. Hilles as the attorney for Samuel
Sharpless Of Mill Creek hundred, OBJ
jected to the sale because the railway
company had failed to live up to it's
agreement with his client by reason Of
not constructing crossings over its
tracks along the right of way or his
clients land. He did not wish to par
ticularly hold up the sale Of the line
in delaware and said his client would
be satisfied to have the bonds Of the de-
funct company continued to insure the
construction of the crossings agreed to
between the plaintiff and the railway
company
Mr.. Chandler represented David A.
.Cornbrook another farmer in Mil
Creek hundred. with practically the
same objection to the sale as Mr..
Hilles' client. His petition to the
court however. was not properly drawn
up. The court said that It would hear
my petition properly drawn up by Mr..
Chandler and fixed Thursday February
Q for the hearinrg in the two cases in
question and others that might arise in
the case between the present and that
time.

NEW SECRETARY
FOR THE Y. NJ. c. A.
Frank B. Tibbitts, Brother of
Interstate Secretary Ac-
cepts a Call
WILL COME HERE MARCH FIRST

FTSnk b. Tibbitts, general secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion at Rutland. VT, today accepted the
call extended to him by the Board Of
Directors Of the Y. NJ. c. A. OF this city
to become general secretary Of the work
here. MIR. nibbitts IS a brother OF
George f. Tibbitts. interstate secretary
Of the Y. NJ. c. A., and he will remove
to Wilmington on March /.
The new official win actively renew
the campaign for the construction Of a
new Y. NJ. c. a. building in Whining
ton and he has every reason to believe
that he will be successful. With the
advent Of Mr.. Tihbitts. interest In the
work win greatly increase. He ds we'll
fitted for the duties pertaining to the
Office and was here today.
Meeting at the oarriek.
At the Y. NJ. c. A. gospel meeting in
the Garriclx Theatre yesterday after
noon Interstate Secretary Tlbbitts gave
an interesting talk on association work
Duning his address Mr. Tibbitts, with
the aid of the stereopticon. showed
many beautiful Y. NJ. c. A. buildings
costing from $4,000 to S10OO.OOO EACH
throughout the United States, and also
in many foreign cities, such as Toxic,
Calcutta, Madras, etc.
The prospect for modern building
for Wilmington, he said, was never
brighter than at the present time. The
new building is to be centrally located,
thoroughly equipped in all Of its
branches. presenting to the different
classes Of men such features as their
callings require.
Building to be Self Supporting.
A large number of dOrmitories win be
connected with it, which will be rented
to young men who are away from home
and from which a revenue will be re-
ceived by the association. Stores on
the first floor viii also be o. source of
revenue, which, with the membership
will sustain the work and never allow
1t to become a burden to the commun-
ity. This was the greatest difficulty
with the association in Wilmington
heretofore and the reason that the
board Of directors considered &c advls-
able to abandon the old association
'JuAilAllis' WINCH ulu not appeal 70 young
men, and was therefore difficult to sup
port.
Mr.. Tibbtts showed how the righl
kind of a building IN Wilmington could
be the great center for not only the
young men and boys of this city, but
also throughout Delaware. Such a
structure would be an influence which
would tell on the lives of young men
and boys in all cities and towns of the
State, and would greatly aid the State
committee 10 help the many who ap-
peal to them for assistance.

Senate Adopts New Rules.

The House then at 1915 p. m. took
a recess until o'clock.
When the Senate reconvened at 11.50
o'clock, the report Of the committee on
rules was submitted by D. o. Moore,
the chairman. This led to a lively de-
bate because of certain new rules
which were ATTACHED to the report.
Two years ago a number of important
bills, among them the Voters Assistant
repeater, were held back in committee
and the new rules are evidently intend
ed to prevent a repetition Of such a
condition.
They make it necessary for each
committee to report within FIVE days or
furnish suitable reason to the Senate
for not so reporting. Senator Conner
objected on the ground that he would
not agree to leave the Senate chamber
during business hours to do committee
work. and that FIVE days were insuffic-
lent unless the New Castle county
members should remain in Dover over
might.
The new rule was finally adopted
over Mr.. Conner's objection.
The report. which was adopted, pro-
vides that all bills can be amended at
any time before the third reading. 1t
also stipulates that no bill shall be put
upon its final passage on the day in
which it is introduced or in the abb
sence of the member who introduced II,
without the written consent of said
member"
All bills shall be calendared by the
clerk and each member shall be furn-
ished daily with a calendar. The rules
win be printed in pamphlet form to-
gether with the list of committees and
rules governing executive sessions.

SCHILLER WITH FOUR STARS.
A Great Performance In Irving Place ~
which there Was standing Room Only.

A Great Performance In Irving Place ~
Which There was Standing Room Only.
The oelebration Of the centennial OF Schil-
ler's death was usbered in at the Irving
Place Theatre last night with four star
production Of the great poets Don Carlos.
The solitary star when the piece was pro-
duced last year was Rudolf Christians, in
the title r6le. Last night that part was
played by Harry Walden, to the great salts
faction Of one Of the biggest audiences
ever seen In Herr Conried's theatre.
Ferdinand Bonn played the part Of Philip
H. Of Spain, with a finish and convincing
realism that easily gave him the honors Of
the evening. Never, according TO veteran
first mig hters, has there been such a Philip
In the Irving Place Theatre. The scene
in which that gloomy and distracted mon
arch fortunes himself with suspicious Of an
intrigue between his semi-epiIeptic son
and bis Queen, Elizabeth (hargaTete Ruem-
kophl, was 30 powerful that the audience
quivered with sympathetic excitement.
Rudolf Christians who played the Mar
quiS Of Posa, failed to satisfy, for the sole
reason that no one could hear the last
half Of every sentence he uttered. Agate
Barsescu made a graceful though mature
Princess Eholi, but both she and Herr
Christians yielded close second place TO
Harry Walden as Don Carlos, the dreaming
loving, siok-brained prince whom his
father humiliates at every turn.
The standing room only sign was dis
played at the Irving Place for the FIRST time
this winter. And for classics, at that
commented the boz ONCE.
The cream Of this Schiller celebration
will be Ferdinand Bonn's farewell appear
ance IS 'Wallensteln' on Wednesday night
In the great ira gedy Of that name. IL has
not been seen here since the days Of Son
nenthal. Frau Barsescu will play Thshta,
