CRUMPACKER APPORTIONMENT
BILL PASSED AFTER SPIR-

ILLINOIS TO GAIN TWO
House of Representatives Spend More
Than Five Hours in Discussing
and Voting on Bill and Pro
posed Amendments.

Washington, D. C.-The house
passed the Crumpacker appOrtionment
bill. providing for a membership of
433 after March 3. 1913, and 435 when
Arizona and New Mexico enter the
sisterhOOd of states. This decision
was reached by a majority of 30 after
several hours Of spirited debate and
after every parliamentary device had
been exhausted in the effort to have
the house stand by the action of the
Republican caucu and keep the mem
bership at 391, where it is at present.
The Missouri Republicans lost their
fight for a slight reduction in the
states representation, in order to
make a redistricting of the state an
absolute certainty. When it had be
come apparent that the house would
Tot adopt the 391 plan, Mr.. EIvins of
Missouri offered as an amendment his
bill providing for a membership of
4O2, which would give the state Is
iEStead Of 16 representatives. This
motion lost by a vote of 10 to POI.
BY the adopted arrangement. no
states will suffer a reduction of their
delegations in the house. Nor will
Missouri OF Illinois be compelled to
elect their congressional delegations
at large.

ARE IMPORTING MEN TO
BUILD THE BOULEVARD

After hav ing tried unsuccessfully
for several weeks to, get men from
down the State to work on the con-
struction of the proposed boulevard
through S ussex county, General I.
Coleman dupont has come to the
conclusion that he will get men from
Wilmingt on, Philadelphia and other
places to do the road building, and
he is now arranging for a force of
Italians and other laborers to be sent
from Philadelphia to Georgetown
and other places through Sussex
county along the right of way of the
highway.
For more than a month signs have
been placarded over Sussex county
offering employment to men in the
construction of the DUPONT road.
The signs have been placed on tele-
phone poles, on fences, in various
towns and even on the front and
back of the automobiles used by
General DUPONT and his staff of en-
gineers and surveyors. Judging from
the few responses. it is evident that
most of the people down the State
are employed or those who are not
employed do not wish work, for
there have not been many responses.
One reason given is that many men
prefer to work about the farm to
working on the boulevard, Many
are willing to take jobs as foreman
on the road, however.
Recently when a circus struck
Georgetown, the road builders hired
in Delaware quit to &tend il. They
also refused to work on Saturday
afternoons.
General DUPONT and his engineers
have wrestled with the labor prob
lem for more than a-mOnth without
beginning to get an adequate force
@ roadbuilders from down the State.
Efforts also have been made to get
men to go from Wilmington, but
they have been unsuccessful.
Now the only alternative is to i'm
port men, and arrangements are be-
ing made to send force of labOrers
from Philadelphia and other places
down the State to do the preliminary |
work of grading and clearing the
right of way from near Georgetown
to Selbyville, a distance of eighteen
miles, in shape to receive the modern
rOadbed it is proposed to lay there.
1t has been General duPent's de-
sire to have twenty miles of the road
graded and finished before winter or
weather arrives, in order
that Delawareans can get an idea of
what an improvement the boulevard
will be, and the only way this can
be done now is by importing men to
do it. 1t is expected that force of
Italian and other wOrkmen number
ing $50 or 300 will be sent from
Philadelphia and other places into
Sussex county next week, to rein
.orce the men already on the Job,
md the boulevard work then will be
'ushed as much as possible.
Milford chronicle., 1911-10-13

General dupont was at his Office
and admitted that men are to be
brought from other places to work on
the boulevard. '!'We have done our
best to get men, and have advertised
in all public places and in the down.
State newspapers for men," he said,
but we are unable to get them
there. As we desire to hasten the
boulevard construction the only thing
remaining is to bring men from other
places, and this will be done at
once. "

great benefit of the training of A N

In the first bout, between H Kill

of fast fighting failed to give a de-

round gave the decision to Kilburn for
aggressiveness and merit This bout
was in the catch weight class and was

The 1iveliest bout of the entire even

clean hits and aggresiveness.
In the 125 pound class 6. Johnson lost
the decision on foul over L. Reed. The

had been picked for an easy winner,
but all three rounds were in Mullen's
favor. The last bout, between G. Steven

not bring out much class but plenty of
hard hitting. Stevenson won on clean
hits

For the Mexicans. Pedregon was the
whole show. While he yielded three
bagger and two Dagger to the Populars
in the very first inning. allowing them
one run, he settled down from that
time on and had the Populars at his
mercy. only allowing them three
scratch hits during the remaining eight
innings Incidentally. he batted three
hits out of four times up, putting
across rams for his teammates.
Laffont was substituted for Thomp-
