LEWIS NJ, PRICE RECALLS
STARTING UP A BOAT LINE
RUMOR THAT A FUND is BEING
RAISED TO BUY OUT TRANS. CO
Four Men Saidto Have Pledged $4,000
Each to Put CLASSY Boat In Ser
Vice.-Mr. Price Withdraws

The report having gained circula
tion that number of our prominent
citizens were endeavoring to form a
company to buy the Smyrna Trans
portation and Manufacturing Com
pany's wharves and equipment and
to put a fast passenger and freight
steamboat on the Smyrna-Philadel-
phia line, Mr.. L. M. Price, who an
nounced last week that he would put
house on his boat and put boat in
service, has decided for the present
to reverse his decision and to await
developments. Mr.. Price, when see
about the matter, said he wished to
lend encouragement to the proposed
Company rather than throw any OBJ
stacle in the way. The "Steamer
L. M. Price" was just in course of
having house put on her and car
penters were to have started yester-
day morning when Mr.. Price phon ed
and countermanded the order. The
"Price" will be continued as a
"tramp steamer" and already has
the prospect of busy season ahead
of it. Had Mr.. Price started line
between here and Philadelphia, it
was his intention to form a larger
stock company and either build or
buy q boat that would be better
suited for the route. Just what the
new move will mean is not yet de-
termined and matters are too in
definite to state. 1t is rumored that
three or four citizens have agreed
to put up $4,000 each and if sufficient
encouragement is received, they may
not only buy the Transportation
wharves. but probably purchase the
Steamer John P. Wilson or some
good combination freight and pass
enger boat to put in service. TIL,
citizens of this town and vicinit,
are hoping and anxious for an up-to
date boat line and encouragement
will be given to anybody who will
continue the old boat service tha
has been Smyrna's pleasure fo
years.

The Annual Missionary Annivers-
ary of Asbury M. E. Sunday School
was given at Asbury M. E. Church
Sunday evening before a large at
tendance. Supt. L. M. Price had
charge of the program and Chorister
w. o. Hoffecker directed the music.
After the school had marched up
from the basement and took their
seats the program was announced and
carried out in a most successful
manner. One of the most interest
ing features of this was "The Mis-
sionary Clock" given by boys and
girls. A large improvised clock
was used and each hour represented
some call to duty in the Masters
cause. This call was fittingly told
in verse and scripture at the gong of
the bell as it struck off the hours.
The program in full was as follows
song by school, Twentieth Century
song; responsive reading; prayer ;
exercises by the Beginners Depart
ment; collection; song by the Primary
Department, "Growing in the Sum-
shine;" Missionary Pennies, y
Halle Creadick, Cornelius Tilghmar

over the previous year. The banne
class was that of the pastor, Rev

"WETS" AND "DRYS" IN FIGHT
House, Wednesday Morning Had Con-
siderable Spice to Proceedings-Pass,
Kill And Reconsider Measures

House, Wednesday Morning Had Con-
siderable Spice to Proceedings
Kill And Reconsider Measures
A warm "wet" and "dry' fight
marked morning and part of the
afternoon session of the House of
Representatives in Dover Wednesday
and that body after passing one
measure and killing another in the
morning, turned right around and
took opposite action after the action
had been reconsidered. The anti
treating bill was passed and after
ward reconsidered and killed. The
bill regulating the sale of liquor for
medicinal purposes was killed and
then reconsidered and passed. Alex
ander M. DAILY and Representative
Cooper had quite a tilt while the
matter was being discussed. Mr..
DAILY stated that the local option
law is nullified in Kent county by
the sale of drugs. He also said
that others beside physicians were
writing Prescriptions, signing the
names of reputable physicians He
declared it was wide open as far as
the drug stores are concerned, and
said he could give the name of every
violator in the county but it was not
the business of the House to know
| that the names were in the hands of
the deputy attorney general. DIR.
Cooper declared that a man who
would make such charges and refuse
to give the names was a coward.
"You're another, Doctor" said Mr..
Daily, and warm exchange of words
! followed.

DUPONT'S PROPOSED STATE
ROAD AWAKENS INTEREST
WILL SPEND A MILLION OR MORE
AS A DUPONT MEMORIAL
Boulevard From One End of State to
the Other Upon Certain Conditions
Legislature Received His Offer

General T. Coleman duPont's
second proposition to build at cost
of 81, 900, 900 or more a State high
way for Delaware was made public
on Wednesday. The offer is practi-
cally to condemn or purchase a right
of way not less than 100 or more
than 200 feet wide through the State,
through the centre of which is to be
constructed permanent State road
18 to 80 feet wide, the sides to be
reserved by the corporation which
Gen. DUPONT wants for public utili.
ties such as electric railways, poles,
pipe line and conduits. Despite the
fact that it was expected that these
would reimburse him for the money
spent on the road, he now declares
he is wiling to turn over to anybody
who would guarantee to use them.
The first announcement stated that
he would build road 100 feet wide,
and the real offer caused some sur
prise. The only obligation on the
part of the State is to keep the road
in repair. There is no disputing the
fact that Delawareans are consider
ably fiustered by the two propositions
of General T. Coleman dupont to
build a free highway through the
State. While the powder magnate
reiterates that he wishes to build
the State highway as monument tc
the DUPONT family, at the same time
he wishes public utility concessions
In his most recent proposition
General DUPONT says he does no
want the electric railway franchise
for himself, but that if the State will
accept his proposition, he will bu!
the right of way and give the fran
chise to any responsible compan.
that will guarantee to complete
trolley line within five years
Whether General dupont wants tn
public utility concessions for himself
or is willing to give them to some
body else is not the thing which
worrying the railroad interests; j
is the fact that the concessions ar
asked, also guarantee that an cleo
trio railway line shall be built with
; in Eve years. In view of the presen
clamor for good roads from one en-
of the State to the other, it is be
lieved that Delawareans in genera
i ] are in favor of accepting the offer {
| the powder magnate, aside frol
what competition might be afforde
j by the construction of an electric raj
way line. Accordingly, the outcon
: is awaited with interest in view {
! the fact that the general assemb1
> will decide whether the state sha
: accept.

PROF. McCUE ADDRESSES CLUB
Gives Some Interes ting Data on Con-
serving Our National Forests.

Gives Some lnteres ting Data on Con-
serving Our National Forests.
On Friday afternoon at the Twen-
tieth Century Club, the lecture on
Conservation by Prof. C. A. Nc
Cue, of Delaware College, was lis
tened to by an interested audience.
Conservation" in a general sense
being too wide theme for limited
time, the speaker confined his talk
to 1.-THE Conserving of our National
Forests He stated where the
natural timber belts of our country
are located, and how they are used
and abused, what per cent is lost in
converting timber into lumber, and
in its use, and stated some ways
this loss could be remedied. That
these forests as well as those owned
by private individuals or corporation
were being depleted without replant-
ing or making any provision for the
future demand. In many cases the
growth which protects the streams
and holds the rainfall and prevents
floods, is being ruthlessly destroyed.
That one way to remedy vandalism
and extravagant waste in forests
was to create public sentiment
against such and in favor of planting
new forests. The program CLOSED

THE LEGISLATIVE OUTLOOK.

c1Ta HE political sentiment in New Jersey this year, together with
the peculiar difficulties of the new election laws, is such that
it is impossible to make any forecast of election results in
November or to say how the next Legislature will stand. The
Republicans now hold the Senate by a majority Of three, but six
of the eight senators who retire this year are Republicans, leaving
six Republican and seven Democratic hold over senators. For a
majority, therefore, the Republicans must elect five out of their
eight senatorial candidates. The Trenton Times optmisticaHy
shows that six of the eight senatorial counties gave a total Demo
cratic majority of about $4,000 last November, while the Repub-
lcans won the other two counties only by l,694. But it is always
hazardous to take the figures of a former election as a basis of
calculation. The battle for the Legislature of 1912 is fought under
widely different conditions. The bulk of that Democratic majority
of "a 900 was in Essex, and on the senatorial ticket this year he
would be a bold man who would say that the organization will come
within hailing distance of 1900 next month. If there is a Demo
cratic loss in Essex, however. that does not preclude Democratic
success in four other counties to give Democratic control of the
Senate. Warren may be conceded to them and three senators may
be picked out of Union, Monmouth, Somerset, Salem, Gloucester
and Camden. The Assembly this year stands fortytwo Democrats
to eighteen Republicans. A change of twelve from Democratic
to Republican would tie the House. Somerset, Gloucester, Union,
Morris, Bergen and Ocean, all Republican counties, contributed
nine votes to the Democratic majority this year, and Middlesex and
Monmouth both elected Democratic delegations. The eleven votes
of Essex we're Democratic. Essex now has twelve votes, enough,
if Republican. to tie the Assembly, leaving the Republicans to get
a majority of one or more in six Republican counties now repre-
scented by Democrats.
