SWELL FROM TORPEDO
CRAFT BREAKS OVER THE
CHESTER CAUSING PANIC

tho vessel managed to quiet their fears.
Captain Changes Course.
Captain William +. +. Jacobs, Of the
City OF Chester. did not continue the
course Of the boat into the Christiana
but turned around so that the swell
OF the torpdo boat could no longer strike
his vessel broadside.
This maneuver served to steady the
steamer and after making a circle she
was again headed for the mouth OF the
Christiana and gaining the inside without
further trouble reached the wharf at
9.25 o'clock.
Among the passengers out the boat was
Mrs Bayard Thatcher of No. 1lO7 West
FIFTH street. and her children. the lat
ter being the only children on the ves-
sell They were terror stricken for a
time Mrs. Thatcher told an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter last night that she
would not forget her experience for
sometime.
Captain Jacobs in his report Of the
affair to President Horace Wilson, OF
the company stated that about 91s
o'clock last night while he was turning
into the Christiana river. the torpedo
boat Smith, came along at a high rate
OF speed and her swell lcsped over the
main deck forward Of the City of Ches-
ter. The passengers. he said. were shak-
en- considerably and one woman tainted.
'T think the speed the Smith was run
ming was beyond all reason on our river,
especially at night and in my judgment
was dangerous to small boats" concluded
Captain Jacobs IN his report.
According TO Captain Jacobs the Smith
was running about twenty-five miles an
hour.

FUSION PLAN
AWRY IN GOTHAM
New York Republicans NOmi-
nate a Straight Out Candi-
date For Mayor
BY United Press Leased Special Wire

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24-There is re-
joicing at Tammany Hall today over
the result Of the Republican city con-
vention which named Otto c. Barnard,
of Manhattan. treasurer Of the Repub-
lican organization as the party candi-
ldafe for mayor. Tammany believes
jfhat this presages success for its own
ticket. inasmuch as there Is general
belief today that the Committee Of
one Hundred. which has been debating
fusion in New York ever since last
June will name complete city and
borough ticket headed by former United
States District Attorney Stimson,
against the Republicans. Tammany's
rejoicing may be premature. however,
as friends of Barnard declare that un-
less he sees a chance for a successful
fight. and 10 do that he needs the nom
partisan endorsement ne will decline to
remain as a candidate. AS soon as il
was certain that he would be the Re
publican candidate Mr.. Barnard left
town and will stay a week thinking
it over"
But the failure Of the fusion move
concerned has stirred up one OF the
hveliest scandals of late years in New
York politics. II is openly asserted by
members Of the committee Of 100 that
Republican State Chairman Timothy
L. Woodruff prevented fusion in order
TO keep a promise made last Decem-
her. They allege that when the Tam
many and Brooklyn Democratic con-
gressmen supported Speaker Cannon in
the rules fight they did so on the as
sumption that Woodruff would prevent
fusion so that Tammany could have a
walk over this fall. Tammany cares
for little but the control Of the city
government, his men assert and was
willing to make the bargain and Wood
ruff has now kept his word. Friends
of the state chairman, however, deny
this and state that il is a malicious
lie.
The Tammany city convention meets
on September go Indications are to.
dav that Justice Gaynor will be the
candidate although Charles f. Murph,
has not announced his sentiments anC
the friends OF Justices Gerard and
bowling are working tooth and nail fol
him to favor their chances on thu
ground that they are wide open Tam
many men while Justice Gaynor is too
much of an independent TO care for thl
organization after he is elected
some Of these men are taking com
fort out of the Republican nomina
tion which they claim is such as Z
make it possible for Tammany to turl
C;avnor down and elect one Of the Tig
ors own stripe.

FARMERS WANT
BETTER SEEDS
Brandywine GraneerS Also
Urge the FatteniIg Of Cattle
For Eastern Markets
SUGGEST BLACK LIST"
FOR AUTO SPEEDERS

The need of more stringent seed
in Delaware, the possibility
of making Delaware a steer fattening
country, automobile speeding and eco
nomical tax collection were pertinent
subjects discussed at the weekly meet
ing OF Brandywine Grange at Talley-
Vile last night The meeting was one
of the most largely attended this year
and although none OF the subjects wrni
beyond discussion. they will come ur
for future consideration. An enjoy
able literary and musical program ter
minated an eventful evening.
In view Of the many difficulties ex-
perienced by Delaware farmers in OBJ
tanning clean seed. the discussion of
seed regulation aroused much interest.
According 10 the grangers, Delaware
has become a veritable dumping ground
for impoverished, poorly sorted and
unclean seed rejected by other States.
Most of the southern states and all
Of the western states have stringent
laws against the Introduction OF poor
seed, and the difficulties Of farmers in
those States have been lessened to a
degree. Poor seed is the veXation Of
many of farmers in Delaware and
the grangers last night saw no rea-
son why Delaware should not be as
strict as other States, particularly as
It is pre- eminently a farmers State.
The automobile speeding mania con-
tinues to disturb persons living at
Talleyville Complaints of fast and reck-
less automobile driving have been made
at recent meetings of the grange, and
tho grangers feel that restrictive meas
ures should be resorted TO. The as
sistance Of the Delaware Automobile
Association will be sought. and the
grangers viii recommend black list
for recreant motorists.
The suggestion that steers he fat
tened in Delaware for the Eastern mar
kets was prompted by reports Of the
scarcity of labor in the west and the
consequent restriction Of cattle rails
ing there. In view Of the big labor
market in the East in Delaware, and
the present meat prices. the grangers
pronounced the idea a most timely one
The tax collection question has beer
discussed by the grangers frequently
and many divergent views have beer
expressed. some declaring that the
county treasurer should collect direct
" and others favoring various othei
reforms. This will provide interesting
discussions during the winter
