GREAT TERMINAL
AT BROAD STREET

Details Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company have decided to greatly
enlarge Broad Street Station. Already
the engineers appointed to do the work
have worked out plans which pro-
vide for 20 tracks in the station. This
is nine tracks more than there are
in the train shed.
The whole train shed as It now ex-
lists will be entirely done away with
and a new type Of shed built.
Furthermore, the plans which Pres
ident McCrea and the board have been
discussing for a long time include a
novel provision for overcoming the
congestion caused by limited track
area at the Schuylkill river. This
plan calls for the construction of a
bridge Of two tracks from a point on
the West Philadelphia side of the
river, rising gradually to a height OF
rs feet above the bridges now in use
and extending beyond the east bank
OF the river TO a point where the track
area is widest, and there declining to

SElAFORD, Del, Dec 29-The fire
which destroyed the old Methodist
Episcopal Church, where J. A. Wright,
conducted a moving picture audi
torium, ice plant and wholesale and
retail ice cream establishment, may
result in another fight between Mr.
Wright and the trustees Of the st.
Johns M. +. Church and the Seaford

The building was bought from The
church by Mr.. Wright a number Of
years ago, he paying a forfeit Of $50
at the time of the bargain. the balance
TO be paid as soon as the deed was
given. Mr.. Wright has never paid
because he contends the trustees
promised TO deed him the land as well
as the building. This the trustees
deny, claiming they never sold the
ground as they could not give a clear
title TO il and Il was their intention
TO begin proceedings in January for
Mr.. Wright's eiectment.

Attorney General viii Ask for
Information From 100
Party Leaders
NO DATE FIXED
FOR NEXT EXAMINATION

Attorney General Gray is preparing
to issue summons for about one hum
dred members of the Republican and
Democratic County Committees in
New Castle county to be examined
by him as to their knowledge of the
illegal use of money in connection
with the recent election. No date has
been set for the next examination TO
be conducted by M. Gray as il Will
depend upon his engagements in the
courts and at the Legislature. How
ever, he expects to finish his examina-
tion Of the committeeman of both
parties in New Castle and Sussex
counties by the middle of January,
alters which he will make public all
the statements he has taken.
Already forty-eight politicians Of
both parties in Kent county have been
examined under oath by Attorney
General Gray, and there will be forty
examined in Sussex county, in addi-
tion to about one hundred in New
Castle county.
Mr.. Gray yesterday afternoon fin
ished his examination Of AldOn r.
Benson, treasurer of the Republican
State Committee. Mr.. Benson produc-
ed the books and records of the COM
mittee, which were turned over to
Mr.. Gray. He also handed to M.
Gray all the checks issued by him as
treasurer, and furnished a list of con-
tributors and contributions to the
State Committee.
Mr.. Gray to-day was asked if the
testimony he is taking would be avail
able as evidence in the contest Of
Robert c. White of the election of
William H. Heald, as Representative
in Congress. Mr.. Gray did not think
he could be compelled to produce the
statements for that purpose, as they
are being taken by him in the dis
charge of the duties of his Office and
for that purpose only.
When the case against Joseph Mob
lit, growing out OF the automobile
accident on the Kennett Turnpike in
which Dr. Green was killed and James
Wilson was injured, was up in United
States Court in Philadelphia recently
an effort was made in behalf Of Mr..
Noblitt to cause Attorney General
Gray to produce in court the state
ments Of persons he had taken in his
investigation of the accident. Mr.
Gray declined to produce the testi
mony, on the ground that Il was taken
in the discharge Of the duties Of his
Office and for that purpose only, and
the court sustained him.
The Noblitt testimony already had
been printed in newspapers, and if the
statements now being taken by Mr.
Gray in his Investigation Of election
activities are published they can be
offered as evidence without much
trouble
