NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Con-
gressmen, who, at the opening of the
special session talked of retaining
the Dingley duty of 81 per 1000

concerned for fear they may not be
able to get as much as $3.50 when

the Dingley rate; now they realize
that there is danger of being forced
to accept the duty of 81 per 1000
voted by the house.

FAMILY BELIEVE
IT AN ACCIDENT

Calling her brother. Robert McCrea.
aged &c years. before o'clock this morn
ing. to go to his work, Mrs A. j. Richard
son. of the northeast corner OF Fifteenth
and French streets, failed to receive any
reply Making an investigation she found
on opening the door of his bedroom that
the room was filled with gas. Her brother
was in bed unconscious and cold.
Mrs. Richardson notified her husband
who has a grocery store at the address
and he sumoped the Phoenix ambulance
which removed the young man to the
Delaware Hospital. II was reported at
that institution at noon that the patient
had not yet recovered consciousness and
is in a critical condition.
Members Of the family say the case was
purely an accident as McCrea had often
expressed fear OF something happening
TO him. The gas let in the room was
turned n. II is one Of the old time jets
and turns completely around.
McCrea was heard going to the bath
room during the night for a pitcher OF
water This was found in his room this
morning. 1t Is presumed that when he re-
turned to his room and lowered the gas
light he turned the stopper all the way
around.
McCrea is well-known. He is employed
at the plant Of the Harlan ane Holings-
worth Corporation.

One Farmer Drove Twelve
Miles in as Many Hours to
Open His Stand

Today was market day in King and
Madison streets but all the farmers
who attended could be counted on the
fingers of both hands There were also
few buyers. the people probably hav-
ing expected that the roads were too
bad for the farmers to come to the

John A. Schrader of New Garden,
Pa one of the farmers in the market,
who stands at Third and King streets,
started for Wilmington at o'clock
yesterday morning and did not arrive
until o'clock last evening. The dis
tance is just twelve miles. He made a
mile an hour. In speaking of the trip
today he said it was the worst he ever
made but said he was going to try get
ting back this afternoon.
Mr.. Schrader is a member of the
Friendship Fire Company i'm Whining
ton, having Joined that organization a
long time ago. when he lived in this
city. He laughingly said that no one
but a fireman would have undertaken
his trip of yesterday.
There are some turkeys i'm the mar
ket and those who have them appear
to have prohted by the boycott Of tn,
public last week and the prices were
considerably less, although they ar,
still very high one man asked 81
cents "a pound but he made no sales
The ruling price this morning was 3C
cents a pound for fresh turkeys anC
twenty five cents a pound for those lef
over from Christmas.
