POLITICAL BOSSES
ARE WORRIED.
Continued from page 1.)

The democratic plans will be for
mulated at a conference to be held
on Tuesday morning. Members of
both the senate and the house will
get together to discuss pending legis-
alton and to consider schemes for
future operations. Senator Silzer,
of Middlesex, is the leader in so far
as the fighting campaign is concern
ed. He is urging the democrats to
drop the peaceful tactics that have
marked the session thus far and to
get into the fray with all the energy
they possess. 1t Is expected that the
conservative element of the party
will be outvoted and that the remain
der of the session, be il long or
short, will be exceedingly lively and
spectacular.
Pending legislation to be consider
ed at the conference on Tuesday in
cludes the Bishops bill amendments,
the Colby civil service bill, the va
rious railroad bills, the primary cleo
ton reform measures, and various
bills of interest to the localities from
which they have originated.
1t is likely that the sessions will
be continued this week until Wednes-
day afternoon and possibly until
later.
Another report was to the effect
that Strong and Haney had visited
Governor Stokes together and urged
their reappointments. This is denied
At all events the machine is severely
shaken and it begins to look as i
Strong himself was in danger of be
ing placed on the shelf. Some de
clare that he has been forced to eas'
up on his support for Haney, to give
his attention TO his own position.
Other rumors have it that Bosi
! Strong's friends are falling ava.
| from him on all sides. Judge Boor
aem ignores him completely on thu
county bench and it is stated tina
even Sheriff Church and Strong have
uuarreled and are on the outs, TEN
porarily, at least.
1t is no secret that Prosecutor Ber
dine is unfriendly to Strongs leader
ship and so It goes
The situation is extremely interest
ing to say the least. The whole out
come rests with the governor.

DOVER, Del, March 1S.-Plnkerton
detectives employed by the state are
concentrated in hunt for the mys-
terious black hulled sloop in which it
is believed the gang of kidnapers es-
capped with Horace Marvin, Jr., four
years old, stolen two weeks ago from
the Marvin farm. They have found
the embers of campfire i'll the heart
of a thick growth of ce1ars a quarter
of Il mile from the Marvin residence.
and it is the theory that the kidnapers
stopped there while waiting for the
opportunity to carry off the boy. Fish

STRONG SAID TO HAVE
SUMMONED CROWTHER.
CONTINUED from page ID

The democrats also propose to de-
mand investigation into all of the
state departments that have been un-
der republican control for the last
ten years or more. They do not
make the charge that there has been
actual fraud anywhere, but insist
that an investigation will reveal ex-
travagance that will amaze the tax
payers of the state. The state sani-
tarium for tuberculosis, the new nor
NAL school, the Railway reformatory
and similar institutions will be cited
as examples of misspent appropria-
tions.
The republicans, however, have no
fear of any Investigations that may
be ordered. They assert that the
records are straight and every penny
expended can be accounted for. The
republicans are also all attention to
some of the eXtravagant measures
the democrats endeavored to have
passed this year, notably the stone
road measure of Senator Gebhardt,
which provided for an appropriation
of half a million dollars. 49,
All of this political sparring will
take much time and there is no hope
now for any speedy termination of the
session. The legislators will be here
for several weeks yet, If not until the
very last of April. In the latter event
the Legislature will be a record
breaking one for length.
