DELAWARE CITY MAY
HAVE ELECTRIC PLANT

Inspector at the Forts Colonel Wood,
of the Inspector General Department
at Governors Island. n. v. arrived at
Fort DUPONT lats evening for the pur-
pose Of making a regular inspection of
the troops. clothing. property and fnan-
cial matters at Fort DUPONT and Fort
Mott. The inspection will occupy some
days.
There are prospects that an cleo
trio lighting plant viii be erected in
Delaware City and capitalists are look
ing over the field with a view to build
ing the plant. Impetus is given TO the
project by the fact that the govern
ment proposes to light the reservation
with electricity. Coal oil lamps arc now
used.
Mex Tuesday morning at II O'Clock
Lieutenant r. /. Mckenney. construct
ing quartermaster for the artillery dis
trict of Delaware. which includes the
three forts. will open at his Office at
Fort DUPONT, bids for supplying electric
current for street lamps at the post
and light for the buildings.
II is also expected that the bids for
lamps and fixtures will soon be asked
for. as it is the intention of the govern
ment to use electricity on the entire
reservation.
As there is no electric plant in Della.
ware City IT will be necessary to con-
struct one there. or in its immediate
vicinity, or else secure the current
from one of the plants at New Castle
An electric plant at Delaware City
could not only supply the government
but also the residents Of the town.

TAFT WANTS
LOWER RATES
But is Not Committed TO
Policy Of Free Raw Ma
teriaIS
DUTIES ON MANY THINGS
MATERIALLY REDUCED

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-'Don't
make any bets or promises that you
will not shave. or have your hair cut
until hides go on the free list, because
don't want YOU TO look like Rip Van
Winkle."
This was the advice given today by
. prominent senator 70 one OF his news
paper friends. and II voiced the feelinx
OF confidence which exists among the
Western Republican senators on the
whole question of free raw materials
They are perfectly willing to make
concessions In the rates. but they stand
pat against the proposition to remove
all duties from hides, coal. iron ore, and
lumber
So far as Senator Aidrich is concern
ed his personal interests and the ma
terial interests Of the section from
which he comes. would be served
through the putting Of all of these arti-
cles on the free list
He has been working to secure the
reductions which President Taft
wants. He had personal interviews
with a large number Of Senators yes
terdav afternoon. with tho object Of
finding out definitely tho lowest rates
for which they would stand He be-
came convinced, Il is said that Il Is
not possible to pass a bill through
the Senate with these things on the
free list and he has so informed the
President.
In the opinion Of Senators who have
talked with the President IN the last
day or two. there Is no possible ground
for the revival of the talk that he
might veto a bin which did not include
; free hides and iron ore and reduced
rates on coal and lumber. The Presi-
dent himself complains TO his callers
; that his position has been mis-.
interpreted. and yesterday he called
, attention specifically TO the Language
? OF the statement issued by by hin
= few days ago. In which he plainl,
said that he was not committed 20 th'
- policy Of free raw materials. although
> he is committed TO downward rcvisici
! Of the tariff. Despite this. EFFORT
{ have been made 10 represent tho Presi
? dent as insisting upon free raw ma
terials. and threatening TO veto th
bill Of he does not get them.
J. What the President wants Is as low rate
!. as he can gel with due regard 10 the rr'
n tective policy Of his party. lie has sati
e fed himself from other sources than A
drich and Payne, as TO tho amount Of n
concessions which he can secure. and
can be stated positively that he not onl
will sign the bill but feels that he ca
congratulate the country on IFS real dowT
r ward revision character. With the dut
, on hides cut 10 l-e per cent, and N
81 rates on leather and boots and shoes II
{ duced materially from existing law; wit
coal reduced from 67 cents 10 20 or
2 cents per ton: with lumber reduced froi
s. per thousand 10 S.25: with oil FREQ an
with iron ore cut from 90 cents down
about 10. which Is the present figure tali
cd Of, the President feels that the ne
7 tariff can well be defended as keeping th
pledges Of the Republican party In th
last campaign.

ware. the committee had not learned
late this afternoon the name OF the
successful bidder. All the committee
knew was that Design No. >, consisting
of twelve pieces and costing $4,000 had
been accepted. Not until former Gov
ernor Lea returns 10 the city from his
Delaware city home viii the name OF
the successful bidder be known. The
former governor was not in the city

The committee met at the art studio
Of Howard Pyle at IL o'clock TO exam
inc the designs. Normer Mayor viii
son presided. The seven designs OF the
silver service. which had been submit
ted by FIVE Wilmington jewelers. were
shown in drawings. Four were elm
mated because they lacked the orna-
mentation which had been suggested
/ by the committee. limiting the com
/ petition to the three designs numbered
II. 2 and 6. After one hours exami-
tation the committee voted unanimously
TO accept design No. on condition that
some changes be made in the ornamen-
tation. These will be suggested to the
successful silversmiths by Mr.. Pyle. The
set consists of a centre piece. punch
bowl. ladle. tray two candelabra, two
trays. coffee urn, tea urn and
two water pitchers. The centre
piece and the bowl arc of
course the most elaborate pieces
being ornamented with the coat
OF arms Of Delaware; American Eagle
peach blossoms and portraits Of Jones
and Marlborough. Delaware's naval vet
Grams. The handles OF the bowl are dol.
phins and on the base is the word Del
aware" in blue enamel. The bowl weighs
100 ounces Is OF ten gallon capacity and
costs 81. 400. The remaining pieces ar,
of similar design. Several changes. how
ever will be made in the general orna
mentstlon. IL is also the plan OF th'
committee 10 add a sugar bowl. cream
pitcher and several other smaller pieces
to the set the complete service TO cos
not more than $4,000 OF which amoun
nearly 5000 is already in hand.
