WASHINGTON, D. c.. Mar. go
It has developed that the reason The
bill which Senator Kean had passed
in the senate to ratify the agreement
made between the states Of New Jer-
sey and Delaware relative TO the
boundary dispute was held up in the
house was due 10 the objection made
by the representative from Delaware.
The contention is now made that
there is no assurance that New Jer-
sey Will keep her promises regarding
the uniform fishing laws. In view of
The fact that both legislatures rati-
fled the agreement made by the com
mission, il comes with rather bad
grace from Delaware 10 attempt to
upset the necessary legislation and 10
reopen the case again.
Senator Kean. in discussing the
matter, said that he had supposed the
matter was entirely settled TO the sat-
isfactiOn of all concerned with the
president, who was notified of the
action Of the New Jersey legislature,
and he failed o see what further
guarantee was required than that
given by the legislature. 1t looks
very much as though Delaware was
attempting to bubble on a technical
ity, and it may throw the case back
into the supreme court again, where
ii has been dragging along for thirty
years.
Trenton Building.
Senator Kean has introduced a bill
TO appropriate $125,0 900 for an adj
dition TO the federal building at

000 for a lighthouse off Greenville.
