Solicitor Roebrt C. Harman are work.
ing together TO this end.
This afternoon several members Of
the Health Board are expected to make
a personal inspection of the condi-
tions and a means Of stopping the
nuisance devised. The Dupont Powder
Company is held almost entirely ac-
countable for the pollution of the
stream and the authorities are looking
to that concern TO remedy the existing
condition. For this reason City Solicit
tor Harman is working in conjunction
with the health and water boards and
will advise the members of these two

Bacteriologist Robin says that the
Brandywine is being polluted at Du-
Pont Banks by the drainage of DWELL
ings which finds it's way into the
stream. He said City Solicitor Robert
G. Harman had the matter in hand
and referred the reporter to that ofic-
ial for information. The latter said
the matter of the pollution of the
Brandywine was being investigated.
but he thought that the city would
have no trouble with the Dupont Pow
der Company in getting that concern
to abate the nuisance. He said, how
ever. that if any difficulty in this di-
rection was encountered arrests would
likely follow.

Dover. Jan. 2s.-There was a new and
important development in the Delaware
Legislature today which further COM
plicates the perpiexed situation. A de-
ternined effort is being made by the
Regular Republicans and the dissen-
ters i'm the Union Republican ranks 70

bly, begin voting for United states

tives Abbott, Baggs and Speaker Den

result of this outcome and instead ol
the Republicans being classiled as
Regulars and Unions they are now
characterized as Senator Republicans
and mo Senator Republicans Con-
ner and his allies being in the lattel
group. It will probably be determneI
during the day whether an einort Wi

vided for the organization of the Sen

the right to vote as they pleased.

Dissatisfaction in Union Ranks.
This afternoon considerable dissatis-
faction was expressed in the Union Re
publican ranks over the deadlock, the
action of Lieutenant Governor Parker
in declaring the Sparks resolution out
Of order, and the opposition to begin
balloting for Senator tomorrow. This
illustrates that there is a division in
the Union ranks.
Among the absentees today was SEN
ator Pennewill, who is in Washington.
It is stated, however, that his visit has
no official significance and that he does
not expect to see the President on the
matter of the unorganized Legislature
or on amy other subject.
Senator Sparks was taken i'll this
morning and did not participate in the
balloting. After his resolution, which
was declared out of order, had been re-
turned to him, he retired and lay down.
Thirteen votes were cast and as seven
would have been a majority Mr.. Rose
was Within one vote Of election. Reed,
Democrat, was paired with Senator
Pennewill, Union Republican, and Con-
ner was paired with Sparks.
The House did not meet un-
ltn after the adjournment Of
the Senate, the members awaiting
the outcome of the attempt
to organize. The only business trans
acted was the reading of the journal

deadlock Firmer Than Ever.
As a result of the disposal of the
/ Sparks resolution, the deadlock is, II
anything, firmer than ever. The sit
uation is desperate and if it continues
the Senate will not organize until
within a few days of the ending Of the
constitutional term OF sixty days and
then only long enough to pass appro-
priation bills and apportion the sal
aries. The Senators. in such an event
will no doubt decide to pay them
selves fun compensation of $500 each
although the question has been raiset
that the first days session (on January
81 not having legally expired but one
days pay five dollars-shOuld b'
forthcoming to each member.
The possibility of forcing a vote OF
the Senatorship tomorrow is the gen
eral topic of conversation in Dover to
day. This afternoon it developed tina.
the Democrats are siding with the ''N'
Senator Republicans" and it is believe,
that if the effort shall be made TO TAX
vote in the separate Houses that tn
Democrats and Union Republican dis
senters would walk out and thus breal
the quorum.

TRAINMEN WILL
CONFER AGAIN
Another Discussion With
General Manager After
bury to be Held
NO STRIKE is PROBABLE

Philadelphia, Jan. 23.-P. II. Norris
sey, the grandmaster of the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmen, and W..
w. Atterbury the general manager Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, met this
afternoon to complete the work begun
on Saturday when an agreement was
tentatively entered into adjusting the
differences that for a week threatened
to culminate I'm a strike. Until this
meeting has ended the terms on which
peace was achieved will remain a mys-
terry.
II is believed that the details of the
expected settlement were completed
yesterday, when the Board Of ADJUST
ment OF the brotherhood was in ses-
sion for six hours at the Hotel Royal.
Both Mr.. Morrissey and W. G. Lee, the
first vice. grandmother attended the
conference. The arguments Of the
company on the questions in dispute
the concessions offered by each side
and the attitude Of the public were un-
der discussion.
Mr.. Morrissey refused to discuss the
situation. saying he must be silent un-
tn all the details Of the controversy had
been disposed OF. He declared that he
could not say whether today's confer
ence with Mr.. Atterbury would be the
final one, but there is little doubt that
Il will.
Company is Retioent.
AS the company is equally reticent
It Is only possible 10 surmlse at the con-
cessions made by each side I'm the effort
to arrive at an amicable settlement OF
the differences. II is said 10 be a fact
that the company has not retreated
| from it's stand against the resembling
/ OF the compulsory firing edict. Nor Is
Il believed that Mr.. Atterbury has
yielded on the question Of granting ex-
ira pay to the bralemen compelled tC
assist at the flrebox.
This being true, IL IS thought thai
possibly the company has agreed to re-
store some OF the brakemen dis.
charged last July. the dropping o
whose names from the payroll caused
the present trouble. II Is known tha
the reinstatement OF these men woult
lprove acceptable to the railroad men.
A settlement on this basis woult
lmean that the company had succeed
led in upholding its refusal 20 abolisl
the compulsory firing order. IL woull
l0lso leimlt the men 70 retire from IN

asenator RepubIieans,D Claim.

The Senator Republicans" claim to
have all of the Union Republicans on
their side because Of certain ante-elec-
tion pledges regarding the selection Of
a Senator to succeed DIR. L. Heisler
Ball. 1t is due to this determination
that the Regulars have been insistent
in their opposition to the election of
Mr.. Conner as the President pro tenn
pore OF the Senate. This official is not
ex-Ofiicio the presiding officer of the
joint session, but has been made so by
the custom in this State. The Regu-
lars say that they see danger ahead
with Conner in the chair and they fur
ther declare that there are sufficient
Union Republicans with them to trans
1otm Conner and his friends into a
party minority.
The consensus of legal opinion here
today was that the balloting for Sena-
tor should start tomorrow. Two pre-
cedents in the United States Senate are
cited-the Dubois case from Idaho and
the Call case from California. Dubois
was elected when only the House of
/ Representatives Of the Idaho Legisla-
ture had organized-,as is the case in
Delaware just now-and ne was seated,
although Claggett instituted a contest.
