RAILROAD HALTED
Residents of Lewss Aroused by Sand
Stealing Corporation.

Otealth9 OorPoFdtlous
Authorities OF Lewes are becoming
worked up over the removal Of sand
from the beach by the Pennsylvania
railroad without it's paying for 1t.
This sentiment is not new but It Is
stronger and more determined than
formerly and this time there is likely
to be something doing II a remedy
cannot be found In any other way the
Legislature is to be appealed to and
State Senator-elect Rowland is to be
asked to take the matter up.
The complaint is not entirely be-
cause of the taking of the sand but
also because OF the damage done in
getting It. Great holes are dug in the
valleys and persons with teams driv-
ing on the beach are annoyed and put
to serious inconvenience. In these
holes immense pools Of water stand and
in many places the roads are rendered
impossible. A car is run to a certain
spot, for instance, and left there to be
hlled without moving IL until loaded
making It necessary to dig deep for
the sand. Then the hole is left and
another one made until the valley is
full of them.
IL Is proposed TO nave the rallroad
stop taking the sand from the valley
and get 1t from the big hill. and to
pay for the same one dollar a carload.
II is estimated that the company takes
from the beach at least one thousand
loads per year. II is taken up in Penn
sylvania. some Of it being used by the
Steel Trust and some by the company
itself This sand has been going away
from the beach for a number OF years
but the action about 20 be taken now
is the first concerted movement to use
the check rein.

nutkofAs IN law shsss wns fof holdinr
any election fof q deenAte % Cohefeaa
from Hawaii, uen htdlry quoted the
report ~ the Congressional COMMITTEES
on the protest made against the hfsi
seating " Delegate Robert W. Wilcox.
Therein the ruling was made that the
failure of the territorial legislature or
of Congress 10 unact detailed laws for
Congressional election would not
prevent the seating Of delegate,
elected by the Territory In good faith
at a regular general election and un.
der the general authority Of the or
ganic act and Of Hawaiian election
laws.
A further point was made by Gen.
Dudley that charge Of intimidation
in order TO affect an election must
show definitely that considerable
number Of voters were actually de-
tered from voting as they wish and no
such proof was made in the case under
consideration. He also cited a United
States Supreme Court decision that
machinery of election, which might
possibly lead to fraud, must actually
be productive of fraud before IL can
be pleaded as affecting the actual re-
suit Gen. Dudley likewise cited long
line of decisions to the effect that
whenever considerable part of an
election can be shown to be regular
and be clearly separated from certain
ballots or precincts, upon which doubt
has been cast and where the result of
the unquestioned ballots is decisive, as
in this case, the election must stand.
Gen. Dudley centered his argument
very largely upon the tables in his
brief, which had been prepared by Mr.
Mcclellan. 1t was entirely Mr.. Ne
Clellan's suggestion, in the first in
stance, that led to the preparation OF
these tables as a part of the Delegate Z
brief.
The questions asked by the member'
of the committee, with the exception
of two of the Democratic members
Representatives Gill and Randell, the
latter of Texas-were such as to indi
cate strong leaning towards the
Delegate Kalanianaole side of the
argument Even Mr.. Claude Kitchin
very partisan Democrat of NORTH
Carolina, declared openly at the Com
mittee hearings that he could see ne
legal ground on which to sustain the
contest.
Judge Galbraith, who will remair
here about week, closed the argu
ment. He amplifed the points sci
forth in his first address and made &
good impression with the Committee.
