That the Wilmington business men
made a decided hit in North East on
their trade expansion excursion last
Thursday has been proven in more
ways than one, but in no way so
forcibly as by an invitation that came
to the Chamber Of Commerce this

opinion of every one of the eXcur-

to show in still more striking form
their eagerness TO establish closer
business and friendly relations with

principal feature of such 2 trip would
be an outing on launches down the

he said, the outing would be in The
nature of joint excursion by the

TO Join the Wilmington delegation or

that the occasion would be an admir-
able one for the formation of lasting

Mr.. DUPONT NOT IN favor
OF PROPOSED new ROAD

The Morning News this morning
published letter from Alfred !. du-
Pont relative TO an article which ap-
peared in the News after discus
sion in the Levy Court on Tuesday.
relative to the approaches to the old
B. & o. bridge over the Brandywine
when the same is converted into a
vehioular bridge as planned Mr. du-
Pont takes exception to the statement
that he would deed to the county land
necessary for a road to connect the
bridge with the b. a o. railroad The
letter of Mr.. dupont follows
Dear Sir: | notice on the last
page of the issue of the Morning
News of July To- a statement to the
effect that | have expressed a willing
ness to donate to the county such land
as will be necessary to construct that
portion of the projected road which
will connect the b. & o. railroad
bridge with the Concord turnpike,
which will pass through my prop
erty.
This statement is incorrect. and
your correspondent must have mis-
understood Mr.. Elliott. The propriety
Of building this road has been brought
to my attention on several occasions,
and Il has not received my endorse
ment, for the reason that IL is my be-
lief that it would in no way conserve
the interests OF the taxpayers, which
in my opinion, is the only viewpoint
/ from which a project of this kind
should be considered. The projected
road passes through property totally
undevelOped at the present moment
, and likely to remain so for some time
to come, and the building of such road
as would connect that portion of VIII
mington contiguous to the b. & o..
| bridge with the Concord turnpike,
would not be of any direct advantage
to those who must furnish The money.
"ln addition, it is my belief that 1t Is
manifcstlv the duty OF the Levy Court
| to devote such funds as II may have
at its disposal for road construction
and maintenance TO the protection OF
such investments as the Taxpayers have
made already in improved roads, by
! keeping them in repair, before amy ad
/ ditional road construction is contem
plated.
"Will you kindly give place in your
columns To this letter, as / cannot per
NIT a statement 10 stand which conveys
an erroneous impression of my attitude
/ to a project which will involve so large
an outlay of the county's fundsy
"lours truly,
"Afred l. DUPONT
At the meeting of the Levy Court on
Tuesday, Colonel George a. Elliott said
he and his brothers and sisters already
have decided land for the approaches to
the city, and he assured the court that
/ Mr.. DUPONT would be willing TO give

SIGNS POINT TO PROSPERITY
BUSINESS GOOD IN 1914 is FORE,
CAST OF TRUST BUSTER.
Tells New Workers Sound Conditions
Prevail Throughout the West
Other Views.

New York, Jan. 10.-The signs Of the
times point to prosperity in the opin-
inn of Frank B. Kellogg, of st. Paul,
the former trust buster, who was re-
tanned as special counsel by the inter-
state commerce commission in it's in
vestigation of the Hartman railroad
merger.
On the general question of interlock-
ing directorates, Mr.. Kellogg believes
that the action of j. P%ierpont Morgan
and his partners in withdrawing from
the directorates of a large number Of
railroad and industrial corporations
was IL wise move
do you think the eastern railroads
are entitled to an increase in r~ates?"
he was asked.
Il think the railroads need some ad-
ditional revenue" Mr.. Kellogg replied,
"and that the interstate commerce
commission should authorize an in
crease. l believe this will be done. 1t
will have a very beneficial effect, not
only on railroads, but ON business con-
ditions.'
Mr.. Kellogg thinks the currency bill
recently passed by congress is a good
measure, despite the fact that there
We're serious objections to it in its
first stages.
Business conditions in the West are
very good" MI. Kellogg said. "Finan-
cial, mercantile and business houses
generally are in a sound condition.
We had good crops in most If that
country, good prices and the farmers
are prosperous.
There has been some slowing up
and a good deal of conservatism dur
ing the last two months, undoubtedly
partly attributable to apprehension of
the effects of the tariff and other gov
eminent policies. | think, however,
that in the last two weeks sentiment
has much improved.
There is more confidence than there
was before, and | see no reason why
1914 will not be a good business year."
