ELECTION OF
U. S. SENATORS
Committee on Judiciary Will
Submit Its Report on
January 9
MAY URGE AMENDMENT
TO THE CONSTITUTION

By United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.--The Sem
ate committee on judiciary Will sub
nit to the Senate a report on the
election of United States Senators by
popular vote on January 8, and II will
be the signal for the most determined
fight in the Senate during the pres
ent session.
Progressive Senators have it on
their lists as the main issue, and will
support It accordingly Senators out
side the progressive ranks will enlist
all their strength In the battle.
Every indication points to an en-
dorsement of the proposition by q
majority OF the judiciary committee.
The more important efact, however,
is that there will be a report, and a
chance to debate the measure, which
is without precedent in the history of
the Senate.
Tnree time since 1894 resolutions 20
submit to the States an amendment %
the constitution for the popular cleo
ton of Senators passed by a two
thirds vote Of the House and one such
resolution received the unanimous
House vote. All were smothered by
Evening journal., 1910-12-31

Senate committee Never has It been
proposed as a direct vote In the
Senate.
A report from the judiciary com
mittee intimates there is every rea-
son to believe that the senators Will
be placed on record, for or against
the proposition or as dodgers. The
only means of preventing record
vote would lie in a flibuster.
Friends Of the popular vote plan are
confident that It now stands, so high
in popular favor that members Of the
opposition will think twice before
they either filibuster or dodge.
Advocates of the plan believe that
there Is a fair chance that the resolu-
ton submitting constitutional
amendment to the States viii pass the
Senate. They have no fear of the
result II the amendment should De
put up TO the States.

tie county members will advocate an
equitable distribution Of the offices to
the three counties.
Attorneys for Both Sides.
1t is expected that two Republican
attorneys and one Democratic attorney
will be chosen by the Legislature.
Judge Daniel o. Hastings, who is to
retire from the bench on January 18,
has been asked to allow the use of his
name as chief counsel for the Legisla-
ture, and it is understood that he has
consented. If the name of Judge Hast
ings is presented there is not much
doubt but that he will be chosen chief
counsel for the Legislature. There are
several other attorneys mentioned for
the place, including James Nj. Satter-
field of Dover and Robert G. Houston,
of Georgetown.
The Democratic members will be
permitted to choose the attorney for
their side, the custom being to allow
counsel to the minority. William H.
Cooper, Jr., of New Castle, is being
urged by his friends for the place, and
the name of Robert G. White OF
Georgetown also is being urged for
legislative counsel.
Among the bills to be introduced
will be several to cure the situation
regarding Wilmington's de facto gov
ernment, as the city election of 1903
has been declared invalid by the court.
It will be necessary for the LeSis-
lature to validate the acts OF the
present administration since the deci-
sion of the court was handed down.
There will be several bills to amend
the charter of Wilmington, and 1t is
said that a new charter bill for Will
mington probably will be introduced
in the Legislature, although the Will
mington Civic Association does not
think It will have a new charter bill
ready for this session.
A bill to change the assessment sys-
tenn of Wilmington is to be introduced
and another measure will provide for
Public Utilities Commission to be
appointed by the Governor, which
commission shall have powers to
regulate rates and to hear complaints
and adjust grievances against public
service corporations.
The Street and Sewer Department
/ will have introduced its bill to make
owners of property pay for paving 70
be done in front of the property, and
another bill will be urged to strength
en- the child labor law, another to
strengthen the compulsory education
law and to provide for medical inspec-
ton in the schools Of Wilmington, an
other to provide an employers liabil-
| ity law, another to make the coroner
and sheriff four-year officers instead
OF two-year officers in New Castle
county, another to permit the Watel
Department to distribute water tC
towns or consumers outside the city
limits, another to authorize the Dor.
rowing of money by the Council ol
Wilmington for park purposes and tc
pay back the money expended for the
purchase of the Ford and other tracts
for playground purposes.
The State Revenue and Taxation
Commission will submit its report
and the Code Revision Commission
also will make a report Of what ha:
been done thus far.

JAP SPIES ARE ARE
MAKING MAPS
Will Show Every Foot Of
Ground Of Importance in
the Philippines
NO LAW TO PUNISH
THE MIKADO'S MEN
By United Press Leased Special Wire.

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
MANILA, Dec. 3f--Not only have
Japanese spies been carrying on their
work IN Manila Bay and the fortif-
cation Of Corregidor Island, but in
formation obtained by the United
Press to-day shows that they are now
engaged In making up map of the
entire Filipino archipelago.
The authorities are aware of this
menacing Japanese activity, but they
are powerless TO interfere, owing to
there being no law for the punishment
Of the spies.
The maps that the Japanese are
secretly at work upon are not of the
ordinary kind, but are such as would
be of particular benefit to the jap
anese government should It ever seek
to acquire forcible possession Of the
islands. They show practically every
foot of ground that would be of
strategical value to Japan in the event
of war.
The division of military information
is fully advised as to the Japanese
activities and, I'm conjunction with the
insular detectives, it is keeping close
tab ON them.
The division is bending every effort
to trace the source of the explosives
found in the houses of a number OF
Japanese residents and, also, to get
more definite information concerning
the alleged plans for the mining OF
the harbor. Naturally, it is giving
out no information in this matter but
il is admitted that both Of these start

Jaime Deveyra, a prominent men,

other slight stir by his open advocacy
Of the amalgamation of the Japanese
and Filipinos.

DEATH RATE
GOES HIGHER
Actual Population Figures
Boost Rate From l4.64
to 1888 Per Cent.

When the Office of the Board of
Health closed at noon to-day, Secre-
tary Malcom reported that 1888
deaths had occurred in this city dur
ing the year 1910, as compared with
1852 deaths for the year 1909, Based
on the Official population of S7.411 as
published by the Census Department,
the death rate for the year was 1853
per one thousand inhabitants. The
death rate for last year was 14.64,
showing an increase in the present
year of more than three per cent.
The increase this year is explained
by the fact that the rate last year
was based on an estimated population
Of $4,000, whereas this year It was
rated on the Official population.
For the past ten years the health
department has estimated the yearly
growth OF the city at 1900 which
would have given an estimated popu-
lation this year of 94,5OO.
There was an increase OF births in
the present year compared with last
the figures showing 2,0S2 this year and
2.O12 last The birth rate is 1881 in
the one thousand inhabitants as COM
pared with 2227 in the year 1909
Ihere are a number OF births, how
ever, yet 70 be reported, the physi-
clans holding them back. The latter
are requested by Secretary Malcom to
make their reports so that he can
complete his annual report.
During the year there were 3.O46
marriages as compared with 2,9OS IA
the year 1909. showing an increase OF
more than a thousand. There also
are still some marriages to be re-
corded on the departments books.
Secretary Malcom reported IS
