BISHOP CRANSTON VISITS
THIS STATE TOMORROW
He Will Conduct the Re
opening Services at Fred
erica Church
speeIal 70 The Evenlng 1ournal.


Dover, Jan. 14.-Bishop Earl Cranston,
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who is
allotted to the Washington, d. c., dis
trict as his residence, will pay a visit to
Dover Barretts Chapel and Frederick
tomorrow. The sudden announcement Of
his visit has caused delight among the
Methodists OF lower Delaware. He will
probably be greeted by one of the largest
congregations Of the year when he ap-
pears in Wesley NJ. e. Church, Dover, to-
morrow evening.
The Bishop is one Of the most learned
men in the Methodist Church, although
one Of the junior prelates. While in Dover
he will be entertained by DR.. and Mrs.
Edwin S. Anderson. who are distantly
related to him.
His visit to lower Delaware will be
primarily to conduct the reopening SER
vices at Frederica NJ. Z. Church, although
he also desires to visit Barrett's Chapel
and Dover. The Frederick Church. under
the pastorate Of the Rev. William Cash
enore. has been thoroughly renovated and
remodelled, to such an extent that the
interior is transformed and has all the
appearances of a new edifice. The rural
decorations are principally in fiat color
ings and have all been hand-painted by
Baltimore frescoers.
Circular pews have been manufactured
especially for the church by a Grand
Rapids mandatory and placed in posi-
tion. Eleven new and large memorial
stained glass windows have also been
placed in. In fact what was once a plain,
uninviting, country church has been
transformed into a Beautiful, attractive
and modern edihce.

MERCHANTS FAVOR ANTI
TRADING STAMP BILL
1t Provides an Extra Tax
for Those Who Use the
Stamps

Josiah Marvel, counsel for the Mer-
camille Association, at the meeting last
might read a bill that he had drafted
on the trading stamp question and
which the association intends to have
presented to the Legislature.
According to the bill, the trading
stamp companies will not be affected
directly. It proposes to tax the mer-
chant giving the stamps and IL adopt
ed. each merchant giving stamps will
be obliged to pay. in addition to the
regular mercantile tax taken out, the
sum of 800 on every 1000 worth Of
goods purchased. This, in the opinion
of Mr. Marvel, was the best method to
pursue in doing away with the stamps
as it is thought that no merchant could
afford to pay that sum for the priv
.ilege of giving stamps. They would be
compelled to give them up and the
stamp companies would, therefore. be
Obliged to close up their shops, as there
would be no merchants to take their
goods.
The association approved the bin.

SENATE NOT REQUIRED
TO CONFIRM BARNARD
No Confirmation by General
Assembly Needed for Elec-
ton Commissioners

There has been considerable discus
sion during the past few days as to
wAether or not the appointment of cleo
ton commissioners have to be confirm-
ed by the State Senate. In a local
paper today it was stated that unless
the Senate organizes by noon on Tues
day, when Governor Hunn's term ex-
pires, the appointments made by him
connot be confirmed and the terms of
the appointees may expire because of
lack of continuation.
Election Commissioner Daniel P. Bar
nard, father of State Senator Barnard,
was mentioned as one Of the appointees
to be confirmed.
James p. Robertson, clerk of the De-
parbment of Elections. stated this
morning that he had looked into the
matter and finds that the appointment
of an election commissioner does not
have to be confirmed by to Senate. Tc
bear out this statement, Mr.. Robertson
referred the reporter to fourth para
graph of Section 9, Article 3, COnstitu-
ton Of Delaware. which reads as fol
lows:
Unless otherwise provided, confir-
nation by the Senate Of officers APP
pointed by the Governor shall be re-
quired only where the salary, fees and
emoluments of the Office shall exceed
$500 annually"
The salary of the commissioners does
not exceed $500 and there are no emol-
uments attached 10 the Office. Mr.. Rob-
ertson stated that he has gone over the
matter carefully and that the laws OF
Delaware do not make any other pro-
vision for the confirmation Of officers

BRAVED FLOES OF ICE
TO RESCUE A LOG
Pennsville Fishermen Launch
Boat in the Darkness for
Naught

Pennsville. n. j.. boatmen braved the
ice and cold on the Delaware river on
Thursday for the purpose of rescuing
what they believed TO be two men who
were perishing, their boat being jam
med in the ice
Shortly after darkness had set in a
report was spread about the town that
two men in a boat were drifting down
the river, helpless. After an hours
hard work the rescuers forced a boat
through the massive cakes OF ice which
were floating in the stream, to within
a few feet of the supposed men, and
found to their surprise that it was a
drifting log with branches protruding
upward. SO perfect WAS the deception
that the would-be rescuers did not real
ize their mistake until they were close
upon the object.

AN IMPORTANT

Governor-elect Preston Lea today
announced the appointment of Joseph
L. Cahall, Of Georgetown, as Secretary
Of state. to succeed DR.. Caleb r. Lay
ton. This announcement disposes Of
a much vexed problem and il VIII no
doubt result in a decisive break in the
Union Republican ranks that will have
a direct bearing on the Senatorial is
sue. The turning down of DR.. Caleb
r. Layton, the present secretary, for
reappointment after the snap endorse
ment given him for the Office at the
recent Union Republican meeting in
Dover and Notwithstanding the fact
that Senator Alice actively supported
him. is significant in the extreme.
Mr.. Cahall is a well-known attorney
OF Georgetown and is the Union Re-
publican chairman for Sussex county.
The office Is worth about $4,000 a
year in fees and is the most lucrative
one in the state. The appointment is
a distinct victory for State Senator
simeon S. Pennewil, Of Sussex county,
who supported Mr. Cahall and who is
now a dissenter in the Union Republi-
can ranks by reason of the attitude Of
Secretary Layton.
Will Directly Affect Senatorship.
AS the Secretary of State issue has
affected the present deadlock in the
Legislature. so will it directly affect
the election of a United States Senator.
The victory Of the Union Republican
dissenters over Senator Alice will, 1t
is expected, shatter whatever hopes J..
Edw. Addicks had of being elected .as
Anees colleague. Red hot politics WILDE
played at Dover next week and many
surprises will doubtless be seen.
There were a number of aspirants
for the secretaryship, chief among them
being Walter H. Hayes. of this city, the
personal attorney Of the Governor-elect
and who is credited with having
brought him out as a Gubernatorial
possibility
Seven of the eleven Union Repub-
lican members Of the Legislature from
Sussex county signed a petition in
advocacy OF Mr.. Cahall and this had a
strong effect on the Governor-elect In
reaching a decision. The appoint
ment will be officially made when Mr.
Lea is inaugurated as Governor on next
Tuesday at Dover.
Possibilities Are Manifold.
It is understood that the Union he-
publican legislators who are opposed
to the tactics Of Senators Conner, 7. c.
Moore, D. o. Moore and Barnard, their
colleagues. in holding up the complete
organization of the General Assembly
by voting only for Mr.. Conner for
President pro tempore, will now take
the bit between their teeth on the
Senatorial matter and assert them
selves. Their leader will be Senator
Pennewin. The possibilities Of the
situation are manifold.
An important question has again

uary "a, and start voting for Senator
whether the State Senate shall mean
while formally organize or not. 1t is
claimed that the Senate is a continu-
GUS body by reason Of the permanency
Of the Lieutenant Governor, its presid-
ing officer, and also because of the fact
that some Of its members always hold
over.
Should a joint session be held under
these conditions. it is probable that the
legislators would proceed to elect a
presiding officer. AS neither of the
Republican factions or the Democrats
has majority, another deadlock might
then occur.

in discussing today the matter of a
joint session being held with the Sem
ate in its present status, stated that the

MANY TO ATTEND

FriendsIof Governor-Elect and
Mrs. Lea Arranging to
Go to Dover

Many friends OF Governor-elect and
Mrs. Preston Lea are arranging to at
tend the inauguration ceremonies in
Dover on Tuesday next. There viii be
a large delegation OF the friends Of the
new Governor from this city and prob
ably a party from Philadelphia will
also visit the capital on that day.
A large number of persons will go
to Dover on the morning train on
Tuesday so as to be there for the in
auguration ceremonies at nooi-. Others
win so down on the afternoon trains.
There will be a special train from
Dover to Wilmington in the evening
after the reception which Is to be held
at the Court House. Many OF the
Wilmingtonians will be entertained
during the day at the homes of promi-
nent Dover people.
The fact that Governor-ele Lea is
the first Wilmlngtonian to be elected
chief executive OF the State has had
the effect of arousing an unusual
amount OF interest In his inauguration.
At the reception Governor and Mrs.
Lea viii probably be assisted in re-
celving by their daughters the Misses
Alice and Ethel Lea. Among those
who will attend the ceremonies from
this city are:
Mr.. and Mrs. William n. Barnard,
Mrs. Charles r. Elliott. Mr.. and Mrs.

The whole issue Of the Senate neces-

sion can be held. will. II is believed,
hinge on the construction of the above
clause Of the Constitution requiring
the election Of a President pro tempore
It is probable that the Attorney Gen.
eral and the judiciary Of the State will
render an opinion on this matter early
next week, possibly on Monday.

that time that "the second Tuesday

Tuesday after the organization of the
House. Senators Gray, of this state
and Vance. presented a minority (Dem-
ocratic) report to the contrary.
In the line of precedent. this deci-
sion by the United States Senate
would seem to obtain in the present
case in Delaware, assuming that it shall
be decided that the state Senate is g
