MR.. YERKEs' IMPORTANT RULE
Wide Discretion in Making the Reg
ulatons Under the Denaturized
Alcohol Bill

ACCORDING TO the schemes that nave been
laid for harmonizing the republican factions
of Delaware, there will soon be a new re-
publican senator from that state. The fac
lions have agreed to ask Governor Lea to
call special session of the legislature and
that official is expected to issue the call in
a few days. The expectation is that Col.
H. A. Du Pont, the millionaire powder
manufacturer will be elected to the Senate
to fill the vacancy that has existed for so
many years by reason of the tangled fac
tional affairs.
Senator Alice of Delaware, who has been
the chief figure in the elimina ton of Ad-
dicks from Delaware politics called on the
President today to assure him that most
satisfactory progress has been made toward
bringing the factions together. and to state
that the best information now in hand was
that Colonel Du Pont heretofore allied with
the anti-Addicks faction. will be elected by
the republicans. With Senator Alice as the
representative of the old Addicks faction,
although not identified with any of it's sins
and corruption, and Colonel Du Pont the
representative of the other side, there is
every reason to believe, the President has
been informed, that the long standing fac
uonal feud is about over.
Negroes Worked Up.
Senator Elkins had talk this morning
with the President on the rate bill After
their interview the senator said that the
Senate was ready for the conference with
the House just as soon the lower body
shall have selected its conferees.
Senator Elkins said that there was the
greatest Misrepresentation on the part OF
the northern negroes of the provisions of
the amendment calling for equal service
on the railroads for equal pay. Negro lead
ers seem to be of the impression that this
will introduce Jim Crow cars In the
north. AS a result large delegations OF
negroes are coming from Boston and other
places to protest against the amendment
In the south the amendment is hailed with
JOY by the negroes, who are naming their
boys after Senator Foraker, who was the
strongest supporter of equal service for
equal pay or just as good car for the
black man as for the white man. Senator
Elkins said he had told the West Virginia
colored men who had called upon him that
they were mistaken in their conclusions bur
that so far as he concerned he was
willing that the matter should go out of
the bill altogether.
Senator Elkins will apparently have no
opposition for return to the United States
Senate. He received an Endorsement yester-
day from the congressional district conVen-
ton that renominated Representative Wood
yard. number of counties have Endorsed
him for reelection. and the counties are
beginning to make nominations for the
Legislature which will settle the matter
without any opposition having appeared in
the field. the outlook is considered good for
his being elected for another term.
