MILFORD BOAT BURNED

Engines of "Vin" Owned by Wilson M.
Vinyard Back-fire and Ignited Gasoline
The launch "Vin" owned by Will
son M. Vinyard of Milford was des-
troyed by fire while tied up at the
wharf there Wednesday evening. The
boat had just completed unloading
a load of fertilizer at the plant Of
George F. Pirce and a supply of gaso-
line for the engines had been taken
aboard preparatory to sailing. When
the engines were started they back
fired and set fire to the boat. The
large supply of gasoline caused a
stubborn fire, which required hard
fighting by the local fire company for
several hours. The boat was burned
to the waters edge.

HERVEY p. HALL FOR SPEAKER
AssemblYman From Smyrna STANDS an
Excellent Chance for Honor at
Coming Session of Legislature

Coming Session of CegIS lature
Now that the election is over. the
stage is being cleared for the next
session of the Delaware Legislature,
which will convene at Dover on Tues
day, January 2. Already many con-
lectures are being made as to who
will be chosen Speaker of the House
of Representative and President pro
tenn of the Senate. Candidates are
also entering the field for the legisla-
tive Offices which, as a whole are very
lucrative. Hervey P. Hall. of Smyrna
Representative from the First District,
and E. L. Jones of Dover, who repre-
sents the Fifth district, are both out
for House speaknrship. Inasmuch as the
Democrats of Kent County captured
eight of the the ten Representative
of this county, thereby gaining control
of the House for the Democrats. the
speakership is conceded to a Kent
County member. Mr. Hall having
served in the session of 1915 and also
a term during a previous session is
deemed especially well qualified to
preside over the House. He was the
choice of the Democratic Cancus at
last session but belonging to the min
ority side of the House had no chance.
This year he has chance and his
friencs are hopeful the honor will
come to him and to Smyrna.
Harvey Hoffecker for President Protein
AS it has always been customary to
select a hold-over member of the Sen
ate to be President pro TEN of that
body, it is likely that one of the hold
over Republican Senators, namely
Senator James B. Hickman, Thomas
S. Webb. Harvey Hoffecker, o. A.
| Newton, John Barnard and Joseph
Frazier, will be honored with that
Office, John M. Walker, who was
President pro tenn at the last session,
will again be a member of the Senate,
having been reelected. but be will
| figure as a new member. With the
race narrowed down to Senator Hick-
man Webb, Hoffecker, Newton, Bar
nard and Frazier, the most probable
choice for the office is said to be
Senator Hoffecker, of Newark. as he
was the majority floor leader of the
Republican members at the session in
! 1915, and is therefore in line for the
honor.
Rests With Action of Independents
The question has arisen, however,
as to just what course of action Sena-
tors Barnard and Frazier may pursue.
Both of these Senators are members
of the Independent, or third party, and
the regulars may have trouble in
getting them into line to support ar
Organization man for President pro
TEN. If they should decide to play
politics it would cause no end of trou'
BILE for the Organization leaders. Local
Republican leaders seem to be conf
dent, however, that Senator Barnard
and Frazier will fall into line. AS
was the case in 1913 and 1915. the
real presiding officer of the Senate
will be Democrat, despite the fact
that the Senate is under Republican
control. Lewis E. Eliason, of New
Castle, was elected Lieutenant Cover
nor on the Democratic ticket, and h'
has the privilege of presiding ovel
all sessions of the Senate should h'
care to do so. In that case the offic,
of President pro tempore would b,
but an empty honor.
