ford College. delivered an address on
Peace as Practical Proposition, .
before a good sized audience last night
at the Friends Meeting House, at
Ninth and Tatnall streets, under the

advocates should not give their sole
attention to combating warfare, but
It was also their duty TO consider the
other questions of the day. The speak
er also explained the significance Of
the Hague court OF arbitration.
He said that a lawyer of standing
had told him that America did not get
the best side OF the bargain in the re-
cent decision of the Hague court re-
garding the fisheries case between
this country and Canada
President Sharpless commended the
proposed plan of an arbitrary justice
court. tLt judges to reside at the

tion is TO extend through three days.
during which the delegates hope Ia
map out program which will aid

largely responsible for the fact that

BALFOUR IS SPOKEN OF
AS A WILLIAM J. BRYAN

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Dec Arthur l. Bal
four, Conservative leader of England,
was to-day dubbed the William ].
Bryan" of English politics.
This appellation was applied in view
of the now certain decisive defeat Of
the Conservatives in the general cleo
tion now in prog ,ess. The defeat will
mark the third successive one for
Balfour as leader of the Unionists.
The strongest pressure is being
brought to bear TO force Balfour out
of the leadership.
His offer to suOmit the question of a
protective tariff to the people in the
shape of a referendum, in the event
of the Unionists success, is considered
by many as the leaders crowning po-
litical blunder.
There is every indication to-day
that the Liberals and allies will ac-
tually increase their present majority
of 124 in the next parliament They
had net majority of one at the be-
gining Of to-day's polling, having
steadily cut down the Conservative
gains since the first day Out of 299
constituencies. the Unionists have
elected 147, Liberals, 106; Irish Ma
tionalists %, and Laborites, 20. This
gives the coalition 152, or one more
seat than they had in the same dis
tricts in the last parliament.

Urge Judge Bradford for
Appointment TO Supreme Court

interview with the nations chief ex-
ecutive officer by reason Of the little
time at his disposal would necessari-
ly be short.
The delegation will bring out two
strong points in favor of tlie appoini-
nent of Judge Bradford one Is that
there is no representative on the SUI
preme Court bench from that long
stretch Of territory including Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina and
Florida, whereas every other section
OF the country is represented on the
bench.
Federal Judge Bradfords record
and wide experience as a Federal
judge will also be brought TO the at
tention of the President II is with
feeling OF pride that the members
of the delegation will point this out.
That there is probably no other
United States district judge more
capable of filling the position than
Judge Bradford. has been conceded
heretofore, but unfortunately II was
not Delaware's turn. it seems, to
have a representative on the Supreme
Court bench.
The entire bench and bar of the
State, Democrats and Republicans
alike. endorse Judge Bradford for the

company said the board thought It
best to take no further action as TO
dividends this year, although admit
ting that the present years profits will
exceed those OF 1906, when close TO
S5OO,000 was earned. The minority
holdings amount 10 about 27000
shares, and IL is probable the more ag-
gressive of these owners will have
something to say about the present
years dividends at the next annual
meeting I'm February. They are at a
loss to account for the company's
policy in restricting dividends to an
amount even less than was paid in
1909. and will certainly demand an
explanation at the annual meeting
unless satisfied before that time.
Among the considerable holders of the
minority stock are j. w. Sparks and

Local Firemen Fight Fire on

Fire in a house on the Belgrade
Farm property, mile north OF Cen

erty. entailing a loss of $1,000.
The Reliance Fire Company's chem
ical engine went to the fire, getting
over the nine miles of snow-covered
road in twenty minutes.
Several men were on the apparatus
and the biting wind blowing the snow
and sleet into the faces caused them
much pain. Despite the good time
made, when the firemen arrived, there
was little to do toward saving the
burning structure. They gave etii-
cient service, however, In conhning
the fire to the one building thereby
saving valuable adjoining property.
The Belgrade Farms are owned by
Fl. T. Cause and the services of the
fremen and those in the vicinity of
the FIRE were appreciated to a greater
degree than could be expressed in
words by him. Special thanks are ex-
tended to the Reliance Company mem
bers because Of the dangers and diff
culties they had to surmount in max
ing the run.
The cause of the fire was due prob
ably TO a defective flue. The mem
hers of George Duberry's family who
eccupied the house, we're at supper
when smoke began filling the rooms.
An investigation showed that the fire
was spreading between the walls
near the chimney. The wind, caused
the flames to quickly spread but due
to the heroic efforts of Duberry' S
neighbors. all of whom gave help

fects were taken from the building
and his loss will be small. Mr.. Du-

ments of President Taft to the Su-
preme Court bench was generally ad-
mitted here today following Senator
LaFollettes evasion of an invitation
TO call at the White House and dis
cuss the appointments with President
Taft.
LaFolette carefully worded his
reply 10 avoid a definite refusal, leav-
ing the matter open for further ar
rangements. 1t is possible that the
Wisconsin insurgent may yet visit the
White House for a conference on the
appointments.
In his letter, LaFollette set forth
in no uncertain terms his views on
the forthcoming appointments. He
declared absolutely against men
whose judicial records show them
biased IN favor of special interests. %
He also volunteered to Support your
(Tafts) administration whenever ]
can do so consistently"
The question of Supreme Court ap-
pointments Is the most important
thing in the minds of the Senate in
surgents now. Senator Cummins has
been furnished by the President with
a list of possible appointees and is
now at work obtaining the opinions
Of his associate insureents in each
candidate. The elevation of Justice
