NEW STATUTES

posed Law for Partition

ANOTHER FOR DIRECT
ELECTION OF SENATORS

While there was a general under
standing when the Commission to Re
wise and Codify the Laws OF Della
ware was appointed under an act OF
the Legislature six years ago. that
the commission would revise existing
law to tbs cAtent Of placing amend
monts to statutes in their proper
places and would weed out repealed
or nullified statutes or sections. il has
been learned that the report of the
COgmission now under consideration
by legislative committee contains
suggested laws that are entirely new
and have been incorporated by the
Code Commission.
This probably will be a surprise to
Eany persons, who did not expect
that any new laws or provisions aside
from those in existence would be in
corporated in the commissions re-
port. Already there is a growing
sentiment that steps should be taken
10 inform the public OF changes made
during the revision Of the code, and
particularly Of new sections or pro-
visions written into the present laws
or new statutes included by the COM
missionors or by the Joint committee
ol revised statutes of tho Legislature.

report.
Many persons feel that the entire code
ms revised should be printed. along with
q repor. from the commission showing
lust what changes have been made in
or additions have been Incorporated to
the laws that existed before the changes
were made.
II was pointed out by one man
who discussed the matter today that
II Is proposed for the Legislature 10
adopt in q few days what it has re-
uuired skilled lawyers six years to

That at least one proposed statute
has been Incorporated in the laws, and
that some others are under considera.

WORKS OUT The Plan
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Sept 1s.-Presi-
dent Wilson is extremely hopeful"
that real progress toward peace in
Europe, will result from informal
sounding Of Germany and the allies.
This was the situation today regard
ing peace and mediation overtures, ac-
cording 10 a high authority. It is too
early to discuss terms, but by careful
and slow discussions through both
official and private sources, the Pres
ident, it is said. has reason for hope
that some definite peace overtures may
be presented at an early date.
The President characterizes the SEN
timents expressed by German Chan
cellor Bethmann- -Hollweg to Ambas-
cel-Bethmann-Hollweg to Ambas-
sador Gerard as 'non-committal." IL
was authoritatively stated today that
the chancellor's conversation with
Gerard did not touch upon terms or
even suggest possible acceptance Of
the Presidents mediation overture IL
is understood that the chancellor
went so far as to say (whether with
or without the Kaiser's knowledge and
consent is unknown to officials here)
that Germany could not consider OF
even discuss mediation until the posi-
tion Of the allies was known.
While the greatest official secrecy
surrounds the peace negotiations, it
was accepted today that the President
will shortly make guardedly informal
Inquiries from the allies advising them
of the German chancellor's position
Il was reported that the President
would ask II the allies could present
any tentative counter proposal, or
other suggestions, in view of the
chancellor's stand that might bring
the nations together upon some plan
Of preliminary discussion.
II was evident today that President
Wilson is personally handling the me-
diation and peace oyertures to the
exclusion of Secretary OF State Bryar
aud other officials. aud even excluding
the diplomatic representatives here o.
the warning powers. That he expects
4 to take an active personal role in the
ultimate peace proceedings is fore
I casted.

keep OFF
RAILROAD TRACKS

Wilmington parents are urged to
keep their children out of the yards
and properties of the Pennsylvania
railroad in this city. A warning was
sounded today by H. f. Buckley, chief
of detectives of the company's Mary
land division.
It is pointed out by Mr.. Buckley
that it is most dangerous for boys to
enter railroad shops or yards or to
attempt to cross tracks when unac-
companied. The action of youngsters
in so doing is trespess but this does
not worry railroad detectives so much
as the danger to which the young
sters expose themselves. Chief Buck
ley and his men have almost COM
pletely stamped out trespassing, but
the warning is issued that parents
may cooperate with officers in pre-
venting children from going on the
systems property.
