ADDICKS MAKES
STARTLING MOVE.

man. Senator Alice also was ''expelled"
from the committee and Daniel B. Muir
ray, Of Viola, was elected to the com.
mittee in his stead. because Of physi-
cal disability" Peter b. Alrichs, of
Glasgow, was removed from the com.
mittee and Thomas E. Hurn. Of Mid.
dletOwn, was elected to succeed him.
The UniOnists have alleged that Sena.
tor Alice and Congressman Burton used
forged proxy recently in the name Of
Mr.. Alrichs and thereby controlled the
recent meeting in Dover, but Alrichs
and his brother have declared the proxy
to be regular.
According to the Addicks. Bradley.
Roberts triumvirate, resolution was
adopted resembling the action Of the
Dover meeting, that authorized Chair
man Alice to arrange with Chairman
Ball for common primaries and a reor.
ganlzation convention, which already
has been called for September 5th. To
offset this, Addicks was authorized"
to issue a call for a State Convention in
Dover on August 2Sth, with primaries
on August 25th. The scheme is to nomi-
nate a straight Union ticket and then
dlcker with the Regular Republicans
for division Of the nominees, and thus
make up a single Republican ticket.
Mr.. Addicks, Newall Ball and Senator
A. B. ConnOr were appointed" a COM
mittee to dicker with Chairman Ball,
of the Regulars, relative to mapping
out a harmony program.
Among Republican leaders and law.
yers, familiar with the Union Republi.
can rules, the action of Addicks and
his lieutenants, is regarded as illegal.
1t was pointed out that Senator Alice
as chairman, is the only person auth
orized to call the meeting. If five COM
mitteemen desire meeting they must
petition the chairman to call one.
While Chairman L. Heisler Ball, Of
the Regular Republican Committee,
would not say whether he would treat
with this "harmOny committee" sup
posed to be named, it is believed that |
he will not recognize them as represent |
ing the Union Republican organization
He and Senator Alice already have is.
sued a call for common primaries and |
reorganization convention, and they are
working together to unite the party.
The Injecting" also expelled 5. John |
Abbott, of Milford, as auditor at Wash.
ingten, and elected Senator A. B. Con-
nor, of FELTON,, in his stead.
Thomas A. d. HutsOn, a committee !
man, of Wilmington, said he had no
notice of the mythical meeting, believed |
it illegal and had no sympathy for it |
"I am for harmony" he asserted.

To the surprise Of all Republicans OF
Delaware, John Edward Addicks has
made a move that will ALLEVIATE hi
warmest friends from him as leader,
and make the reorganization of al Re
publicans in Delaware into one paIly
very difliculttO bring about. This move
is mOrtifying to those who have sup
ported Mr.. Addicks from principle, and
who have believed that he should he
sent to the Senate.
On Saturday last Mr.. Addicks and q
few friends held a meeting in Whining
ton, which was announced as a meeting
of the Union Republican State Central
Committee, and proceeded to Oust Sena-
tor J. Frank Alice from the State chair
manship of the committee. Not only
did the meeting" do this, but it pro-
ceeded to make other changes desig-
mated to give Addicks firm grip on
the organization
So ridiculous did this move of Ad-
dicks and his lieutenants appear to Re
pu0licans that the entire proceeding is
being heartily laughed at. even by men
who have been politically friendly to
Addicks.
The only effect will be to com mplicate
the situation and make it more difficult
to bring about Republican harmony,
and it is regarded as a foregOne conclu-
sion that party reorganization plans
will be followed, as mapped out by
Alice and Ball, as chairmen of the
Union and Regular organizations.
This injecting" was held at No. 1905
King street, Mr.. Addicks' property.
Who called it is not known. Senator
Alice, as State chairman, did not, and
he only is empowered to call meeting.
Perhaps. Mr.. Addicks did it as vice.
chairman, a sop thrown to him at the
recent meeting in Dover, when he was
routed by the Alice forces. The impress
sion prevails in political circles that
Addicks called the injecting Some
of those present said that eleven State
Committeeman, more than quorum,
were present.
Their words had to be taken for it, as
nobody seemed to know that there was
a Injecting" until reports of what had
been done were circulated after the
Gathering Addicks. eX.j Squire Francis
S. Bradley and George w. Roberts,
were said to be at the injecting" They
constitute the backbone Of the Union
Republican organization in Whining
ton, but who their eight supporters
were could not be learned.
At any rate, after the meeting"
Squire Bradley, Editor Roberts and
Mr.. Addicks said that Senator Alice
was removed from the State chairman
ship and Mr.. Addicks was elected chair

ing Expansion OF Capital
New Orleans, Oct. 9.--In recent

der why money is harder to get for
the present crop moving season than
heretofore. An official of the FL

on the situation.
Crops are large, but the expan-
sion of industrial development has
been more rapid than has been the
expansion of capital in the South.
The tightness of the money market
however, is temporarily only for the
reason the South today offers many
splendid investment opportunities
which are attracting. capital in in

are now in course OF construction,
