DEMOCRATS KILL
ELECTION BILLS
Seven Measures Regarded as
Important Voted Down
in House
REPUBLICANS TO
SUPPORT PAVING BILL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, March 16-The Democrats
in the House this morning, despite the
protests &C the Republicans, killed
seven lills to amend laws relating to
municipal elections in Wilmington. The
bills were intended to straighten out
some defets in the present laws, and t.
require certain duties which now are
performed, but for which there seems
TO be no warrant in the present laws.
The Democrats in their conference de-
cided to kill the Wilmington election
bills, and they were called up one uf-
ter The other. Representative Spru-
ance (Rep.) protested against the ac-
tion I + the Democrats, saying that they
were good bills and should be passed.
He moved that the bills be laid on the
table until three Republicans who were
absent could attend. The Democrats,
however, voted solidly against them,
and the Republicans for them. When
the final bill of the seven was called
up, Representative Ainscow suggested
that the title and enacting clause
merely be read several times, as the
bill would be killed anyway, but this
was not done.
'They would vote down a chapter of the
Testament" was the comment of Repre-
sentative Pharo after adjournment.
The Republican members held a con-
ference this morning, and appointed a
steering comittee comprising Senators
Conner. Sparks and Drexler and Repre-
sentatives spruance, Hazel and Leden-
ham. After much discussion, the confer
ence decided to upport the Wilmington
paving bill, with an amendment providing
that the bill shall not become effective
unless a majority of votes are cast for it
at a referendum election in connection
with the city election in June.
The Senate killed teh amendment to
the constitution proposed by Represen-
tatiye Brockson to give liquor dealers
six months in which to dispose of their
stock in districts that go dry" Sem
ator Drexler made a sarcastic speech
against the bill. In which he quoted Ian
guage used against the Drexler bill in
the House by Representative Brockson
yesterday. The vote was five yeas and
ten nays as follows: Yeas-Messrs. Cor
bit, Finn, Hart, Monaghan, Shelldrake.
5; nays-Messrs. Anderson, Barnard,
Conner. Drexler, Dutton, life, Morrison,
Reed. Ro.and. Sparks. 10.
After listening to an explanation OF
the bill by Professor Harry Hayward,
the House passed the House bill ap.
propriatine $17,500 to erect a barn and
laboratories on the Delaware College
farm at Newark. Six votes were re-
corded against the bill.
The Rev. DR. Hiram w. Kellogg ana
Charles w. Bush, of Wilmington. ad-
dressed 49, House in behalf OF the
Juvenile court bill for Wilmington.
Among the bills passed by the Senate
this morning we're two House bill EN-
abling the United States Government
to condemn and acquire a route for the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal.
In the Senate the bills prohibiting the
sale Of liquor within two miles of Fort du-
Pont were withdrawn. In tho House un-
favorable reports we're made on the Will
mington Sunday baseball bill and the bill
repeating the present divorce laws, both
introduced by Representative Connolly.

the proposition FOR q federal inherit
ance tax, claiming that that source
of revenue should be reserved to the
States. On motion OF Senator FRYE,
at 12.10 the Senate went into executive
session.
Prolonged applause greeted Secretary
A<eNNe~ NhSA hC SAlchcu TIE I1ouSc Win

tention, and at its close there was a
whiriwind Of handclapping.

UNAPPREcIATED.

As we grow older and acquire
Age. dignity, some whiskers and
A tall plug hat and clothes 60 match
We cannot really understand
What fun there is for little boys
On chilly winter days to shy
A SNOWFALL round and hard as ice
At every ancient passerby.
It may be many years ago
We liked such rude. Ill hammered
sport.
But even that can't make It right
Nor furnish an excuse in court.
II any little boy of mine
We're caught in any such a prank
He'd have TO meet me in the shed
And conjugate the verb ''to spank"
Some reason there is. more or less.
In any creature but a boy.
His notions are most warped and
strained
Regarding merriment and Joy.
He should be brought up with a jerk
The moment It begins to snow
And told that other folks have rights
And shown the mark that he must
toe.
II isn't pleasant, you can bet.
To every blessed moment fear
AS you go walking down the street
chunk win get you In the ear.
Boys viii be boys, I've heard them
say,
And that is true, but. hully gee.
They'd better not. IL they are wise,
Too many times get gay with me.

Dun & Co.'S Review,

New York. May AR. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Further significant improvements have
been made in iron and steel, and as they
for mag reat basic trade this goes fai
toward establishing the long-desired re-
adjustment of the whole industrial situa-
ton. This and the better weather for
both Industrial and mercantile interests
are the weeks most important trade de-
velopments. A marked optimistic feel
ing, therefore, prevails in most branches
OF business in spite of the fact that the
unsettling tariff debate continues, not
having yet reached its last stage-that
of the conference committee.
The notable event OF the week in the
cotton goods has been the reduction In
staple prints, led by the leading pro-
Queer. The declines proved to be more
radical than anticipated, although opin-
ions in the trade wary as to their prob
able duration. Print cloth yarn goods are
not affected by this reduction, and prices
remain fairly firm. Finished goods and
bleached goods are moving slowly, job
bers being reluctant buyers, although cut
tiers are doing more business in the lat
ter line. Ginghamg show a firmer ten
dency. In the export field there has
been some inquiry, but no actual trans
actions, sellers demanding more than
buyers are willing to pay. In the wooden
goods division advances continue In
many lines, especially in worsteds. The
yarn market is irregular, low prices
bringing out some business but is gen.
orally quiet, with prices strong in all
lines.
The shoe trade is improved Buyers in
the Boston market have placed some fair
sized contracts, and trade is expected to
increase as shoe buyers are confronted
with rapidly advancing hide and leather
market. Most manufacturers are firm In
their Views. Recent operations in Chicago
packer hides have aggregated about 70, 200
of all kinds. This business advanced
prices still further, and an exceptionally
high basis was reached on all varieties
Western country hides are also showing
pronounced strength, while foreign dry
hides have kept prices with the advances
secured on domestic green sailed stock
The trade in both sole and upper leather
is satisfactory. Large New England man.
ufacturers are buying freely.
