started for home.
Both men boarded the freight and
on the way to Chester they decided TO
stay On the train until it reached
Philadelphia, where they had hopes Of
obtaining work. Reaching Thurlow,
Dioiak suddenly, changed his mind and
decided to get off the train. Despite
the warning OF his companion and the
speed at which the train was going, ne
jumped.
The effort was clumsy one, and the
unfortunate Polander in falling struck
tbe end Of the forward car and drop
ming to the roadbed was first struck hS
lthe wheels Of the car from which h'
iumned and then hurled with consid-
ierable force against the end Of a cross
tie.

Chester Hospital, where he Is IN
lcritical condition. He has severe lacer
lations Of the head and face, genera
lcontusions Of the limbs and body,

volver on last Sunday week, was adj

weeping. The father is gone and now,

William SauIsbury's Friends Working
Boom for Him-Ford-Handy
Combine Ready for Action

There is, however, likely to be a fight
in Kent county. The friends Of Judge
Gray IN that county, according to re-
port. have agreed that 50 far as they
are concerned, former Senator Kenney
can go to the national convention. The
Handy end of the new combine In this
county would balk at Kenney and Will
oppose him. A new name was mem
toned To-day as national delegate for
Kent fin the person or Hon. Benjamin
"A. Hazell former member Of the
Legislature. and a prominent business
man in Philadelphia. whose residence,
however, rs in Smyrna. Mr.. Hazeh
has often been mentioned for high hon
ors In the Democratic party.
some OF those who profess to know
declared to-day that 1t would not be
surprising 10 them II Kenney and
HAZEL were named as the delegates
from Kent. Former Secretary Of State
James ii. Hughes and James L. Vol
cott have also been mentioned as tho
delegates from Kent, but 1t is evident
that some one will have to give way.
one report has It that the friends or
Judge Gray in Kent would take either
Wolcotf or Hughes and kenneN but
the discussion Of Mr.. Hazell and the
revival Of the William Salisbury boom

So far as Sussex is concerned the
only names seriously mentioned from
fhat county are former Congressmen
John w. Causey and Henry A. Hous-
ton. They would be acceptable, it is
said. to the Gray men, but whether
they can be landed without a fight Is
a problem. The name of John p Hol-

it was required that the issue should be

/ again call attention to the urgent need
of amending the nterstate-commerce law
and especially the antitrust law along
the lines indicated in my last message.
The interstate-eommerce law should be
amended SO as to give railroads the right
to make traffic agreements, subject TO
these agreements being approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
published in all Of their details. The
Commission should also be given the
power to make public and to pass upon
the issuance Of all securities hereafter
issued by railroads doing an interstate
commerce business.
A law should he passed providing II
effect that when a Federal court deter
mines to place a common carrier or
other public utility concern under the
control OF a receivership, the Attorney
General should have the right to nomi'
nate at least one Of the receivers; OF
else in some other way the interests o
the stockholders should be consulted. s.
that the management may not be wholly
redelivered to the man or men the fail

celverships should be used, not to oper

AS the time for holding the Demo-
cratic state Convention TO elect dels-
gates to the Denver convention ap-
proaches, interest among the Demo-
Gratis increases. The story that former
Congressman Handy and Water Com
missioner Peter j. Ford propose to
make a fight for control Of the New
Castle caucus has caused much COM
ment among the Democrats. and there
is lively discussion as 70 the probable
outcome Of the struggle.
It is said that Willard Salisbury has
no ambitions to attend the convention.
and 1t was found that the coast waa
clear 50 far as Salisbury was concern

battle. They will have no opposition.

The statement that Ford and Handy,
however, had been slated by their
friends for national delegates has dis

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
President sent the following special
message to Congress to-day, dealing
with legislation that he would like TO
see enacted:
10 the Senate ana House Of Representa-
tives:
call your attention to certain measures
as to which think there should be action
by the Congress before the close OF Inc
present session. There is ample time for
their consideration. AS regards most II
not all Of the matters. bills have been IN
troduced into one or the other of the Two
Houses. and 1t is not too much to hope
that action will be taken one way or the
other on these bills at the present session.
In my message at the opening Of the
present session. and, indeed, in various
messages to previous Congresses, ] nave
reneatedlv suggested action on most OF
these measures
Child labor should be prohibited through
out the Nation. At least model child
labor bill should be passed for the Dis
triot Of Columbia
renew my recommendation for the I'M
mediate re-enactment Of an employers
liability law. QIdWn 10 NohAoAAA ~ N1S
recent decision Of the Supreme Court.
Within the limits indicated by the court
the law should be made thorough and
comprehensive. and the protection it af-
fords should embrace every class Of en-
ploye TO which the power Of the Congress
can extend
In addition to a liability law protecting
the employees Of common carriers, the
Government should show its good faith by
enacung a further law giving compensa'
ton to its own employees for injury OF
death incurred in its service. 1t is re-
proach to us as a Nation that in both
Federal and State legislation we hav
afforded less protection to public and
private employees than any other indus
trial country Of the world.
I also urge that action be taken alonf
the line Of the recommendations / havi
already made concerning injunetions il
labor disputes. No temporary restraining
order should be issued by any court with
out notice: and the petition for a pernlan
ent injunction upon which such temper

should be heard by the court issuing tn
