WANT PEOPLES LINE
TO USE FOURTH STREET

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, March 17.-Mayor Horace
Wilson and former Senator L. Heisler
Ball were here yesterday afternoon in be-
half OF Senator Monaghan's bill to allow
the Peoples Railway Company to lay
tracks from Church street TO Fourth
street wharf in Wilmington. The original
ball introduced by Mr.. Monaghan was to
give the Street and Sewer directors Of
Wilmington discretion to allow more than
one railway to occupy a street when
necessary to reach public wharf or sta
ton. This bill was killed. mainly through
the opposition led by Senator Sparks.
Senator Monaghan then offered a new
bill specifying Fourth street from Church
to the wharf. Senator Sparks Yesterday
afternoon withdrew his opposition TO the
bill as now framed.
It is understood that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has withdrawn its OPP
position to the Peoples Railway crossing
the railroad surface tracks at Fourth
street, and viii grant that privilege if the
Monaghan bill is passed.

DEMOCRATS
PLAY POLITICS
Showed Their Hand by De-
featin9 Wilmington EIec-
tiOn Bills
CONNELLY LEADS IN
FIGHT ON MEASURES

special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, March 17.-While the
Democrats have been playing politics IN
a subtitle way all through the present ses-
sion of the Legislature by passing mea-
sures of a nature that they know the Re
publican Senate will not concur in, they
showed their hand yesterday in most
decided way when they slaughtered the
eight bills to amend the election laws
governing municipal elections in Whining
ton
The chief reason for the Democrats
killing the Wilmington election bills yes
terday was that they had been introduced
by cans-Representatives Spruance
and Welch-and that it might operate
against Democratic chances at the cleo
tions in wilmington. Representative Con-
nelly led the fight against the bills and
Representative Spruance pleaded for fair
consideration for them on the ground that
there was nothing partisan in the mea-
sures. and that they were merely to cure
certain defects in the present laws and
enact other necessary provisions. The
Democrats we're obdurate, however, and
lined up solidly against every measure
While the kepupncduS NNN~N -SA
bill. one of the bills killed was that to
keep the polls open at city elections dur
ing the same hours Of morning and after
noon as they are open at general elections.
one OF the bills proposed by Mr.. Spru-
ance was to provide a registration Cay in
July. for the convenience Of persons who
may be away in August and who may
wish to vote at the primaries Of his party.
Throughout the session the Democratic
majority in the House have been playing
a quiet little political game Of passing
many bills which they knew, because OF
their nature, would not meet the approval
of the Senate Many OF these bills were
aimed at Republican oficeholders, and Il
was natural that the Republican majority
in the Senate would not support such
bills. The desire TO put it up to the Re
publican Senate" also has caused the
/ Democrats to line up for the passage OF
some measures through the House.
Yesterday, however. the Democrats sal
lied out into the open and not only killed
the wilmington election bills because
they had originated in Republican sources
but they also reconsidered the bill hxinl
the salary of the State treasurer at $500
year and had it recommitted. It prob
ably will be amended to give the Stat'
treasurer a salary Of $500 year IN liel
Of all fees and not TO apply to the pres
ent treasurer, d. o. Moore

bill for New Castle county. providing for
a bond issue of $4,000 for road improve

for presentation in the House by Repre-

roads throughout New Castle county to
be improved with the money TO be bor-

Since the provision in the Constitution
has been pointed out that the Legislature

question has arisen as to whether or not

passed two years ago is unconstitutional,
and whether such a bill as now being

The first thing to do when threatened

Grandlarcsny and Embez-
zIenentAgainst Warmer.
Known 10 Have Taken S643,OOO
Roads Books Disappear.
Says He Paid $500 Monthly Black.
maiI...Stocks Took Balance.

Cincinnati, Nov 16.-Charles L. Warri-
uer, formerly local treasurer of the Big
Four Railroad, was indicted today on
charges of grand larceny and embezzle-
ment in the amount of $1,000 on each
count. While seas. 900 is known to have
been stolen from the railroad it develop
ed today that the companys cash books
prior to 1905 have disappeared and that
it will never be possible to tell the full
amount of the defelcations.
The comparative small amount on
which Warmer was indicted represents
the latest known theft. Amazing figures
were presented today. showing the prog
ress of the thefts for the last five years
The shortage thus estimated amounts to
something more than $5S,0O0 for 1905. 1906
and 1907 and to So 600 in 1908, and $685.
in 1909. The total for five years reaches
$500 900.
OF this sum Warmer says he paid $40
a month to each of two persons in the
form of blackmail. The rest. he alleges,
he lost in speculation, trying to replace
his thefts.
The most intcrc sting person to appear
before the grand jury today was Mrs.
Jeanncttc Stewart Ford, whose conncc-
ton with the case is still shrouded in
mystery. Mrs, Ford declared she said
nothing to the grand jurors beyond the
indefinite statements when She has al
ready made public.
After the grand jury had adjourned for
the day, Prosecutor Hunt announced that
ness to testify against the persons whom
he accused of blackmail.
