HOLD-OUTS CONTINUE
Senate DEADLOCK
Continued from First Page.


xier, is becoming a joke. They we're
elected as Republicans two years
ago. not as 'Progressives' or Inde-
pendents.' If they have any com
plant in Kent county, let them set
tie it there, but not hold up the Sen
ate at the expense OF the State.
81 have looked into this matter
carefully and the only principle that
can find involved is a desire on the
part OF the so-called Alfred I. DUPONT
Independent leaders to try and get
a little prestige out of the situation,
and continue the wrecking OF the
Republican party as far as they can.
It is about time halt was called on
them. in some way. The Republicans
of the state would never agree 10 any
move that would land either Barnard
or Frazier as president pro tenn"
Question Of Appointments.
While there have been many ru-
mors as to possible combinations be-
tween Democrats and Republicans TO
break the deadlock, so the Senate
can proceed with business, nothing
has developed along that line to date.
such action may be taken early next
week. Some OF the Democrats favor
the election Of Senator Newton, He
publican, to break the deadlock.
There has been much speculation
as what will be done relative to ap-
pointments that Governor Miller has
to make before going ont Of office, in
case the Senate does not organize on
Monday. in time to confirm such aD-
pointments. It IS said that there are
several appointments to- be made by
the Governor. II is generally be-
lieved that should these appo mt
ments be made and not confirmed by
tho Senate, before the present Gov
ernor's term expires at noon, on
Tuesday the incoming Governor may
re-appoint the same men, as a cour-
tesy to Governor Miller
Among the vacancies are one or
two Justices of the Peace and State
Highway Commissioner.
Many Bills Expected.
A flood Of bills is expected TO start
in the House early next week. now
that all the preliminary business in
connection with the organization OF
thai branch Of the Legislature has
been complied with. The only bill
introduced so far was that intro
duced yesterday by Representative
Downward. OF Wilmington. which has
for its purpose the preventing Of long
deadlocks IN either branch of the
Legislature in the future. This bin
was referred back to Mr. Downward
for revision.
The early circulation OF the peu-
tion in the House yesterday paving
the way for re-submission Of the
l'quor license question to q vote in
rural New Castle county. at the gen.
eral election in 1918. was a surprise
20 the "wets." This petition now has
five Representatives Boyce,
Buckingham, Burris, Ahearn and
Hutchison. One more House mem
ber's signature is all that is neces-
sary to the nettion in that branch
OF the General Assembly. and the
dry" forces expect to get the sixth
signer early next week. They are
endeavoring 10 secure several more
House members to the petition
The petition will not be circulated
in the Senate until after that body is
organized. although the dry" forces
say they are assured of the sigma.

petition through that branch. There

ROPES ARGUMENT
FOR ALDERMEN
Illinois Citizens Plan Stern
Warning to City
Fathers.

CICERO, Ill, Feb. 26.-With brick
bats and hemp ropes, one for each
member OF the city council to back up
their protest. a hundred citizens of
Cicero threaten to attend the meeting
of the municipal fathers tonight to
voice their disapproval OF contem-
plated sale of the municipal light
plant to the public service company of
Northern Illinois.
Several weeks ago the citizens
committee met at the Hawthorne -au-
ditorium to devise ways and means of
bringing the recalcitrant council to
their way OF thinking. An invitation
to the members was accepted by but
ona alderman, Joseph Laska.
Miss Margaret Haley, president of
the Chicago Teachers Federation,
spoke at the gathering and recon-
mended the rope as a convincing and
persuasive argument.
"A few years ago there was a fight
in Toledo, Ohio, similar to this one"
she said. "The citizens met in q body
and went to the council chamber
balcony. They dangled ropes in the
faces OF the council members and the
traction company was not sold as
planned.
"You citizens take ropes and do the
same thing. Let them know that you
are in earnest"
Frank 4. Klimes urged that all
voters and property owners attend.

MOVIES ALLURE TO
NAVY ENLISTING
Films at Capital Theaters Will
EntiCe Available
Men.

A campaign to induce Washington
movie fans to join the navy will be
launched by the Navy Department
this week.
Films will be shown at eight mo-
tion picture theaters urging the need
of navy recruits, and giving the ad,
dress OF the navy recruiting station
at Ninth street and Pennsylvania
avenue northwest
Later the films will show scenes
at the naval stations at Newport and
elsewhere, and others taken aboard
the ships OF the navy.
Washington theater managers are
cooperating in the navy recruiting
campaign by offering free use of
their theaters to display naval Sd-
vertising and pictures.
General Activity.
The tirst week of recruiting in the
Washington office brought an aver
age of ten to fifteen applicants for
enlistment a day. The total number
OF recruits for the first week will
not be given out until a report is
made to the Navy Department this
week. In the country at large re-
cruiting since the first of the year
has been the heaviest on record.
On January 1 the total enlisted
strength of the navy was 55,504. On
February 4 the enlisted strength had
jumped to 57,042, a net gain of 1888,
and on February "a, the last day for
which figures are available, the en-
listed strength was 6S,636, a gain of
] ,b94 in twenty-four days, or of 3,132
since the first of the year.
The present authorized strength of
the navy is IS, 700. so that with only
10000 to gain there is ground for the
hope that there soon will be enough
sailors to give every vessel in service
a full complement.
A comparison with recruiting
figures for this year and last year
shows how well the campaign for
navy recruits is progressing. The
recruits enlisted in January, 1915.
numbered 1853. Last month the total
was 2,577, a gain OF more than 1000.
The total enlistment for the first
twenty-four days of February last
year was 1 ,229. For the first twenty
four days of this month 1t was o.
5S3, more than double.
Wide Campaign Planned.
Total enlistment for the week end
ing February IL was IT'S. the largest
weeks total in the navy's history
Last Fridays total of 277 was the
highest days enlistment.
The Navy Department now has 21S
recruiting stations, against 146 three
months ago, and there are forty
travelling parties, where formerly
there were but one or two. A travel
ing party eventually will be put in
each State as the present campaign
progresses.

ATTENTION ON CONGRESS
Course of Body To Be Watched
With Interest.

With the address of the President
to Congress on the German crisis to-
day, profound interest now centers
in the question of what Congress will
do.
Will it adopt a resolution confer
ring sweeping authority on the Pres
ident, or will it refuse to do so? Will
an extra session be forced, regard
less of whether the President is given
additional authority?
These and other questions are sub
jects of great concern, in view of the
grave nature of the foreign contro-
versy and the possibility of war.
Though a truce in the Senate fill
buster was reached Saturday night,
when an agreement was made to vote
on the revenue bill Wednesday even-
ing, delaying tactics may be resorted
to at any time.
In fact, when the naval bill was
taken up in the Senate today, Senator
La Toilette gave Indications of a fill
buster by insisting on the reading of
the bill. 1t was apparent Senator La
Toilette did not want business rushed
until he found out what the Presi-
dent wanted in the way OF additional
authority.
On the other hand, Democratic
leaders, evidently stirred by the an
nouncement the President was to ad-
dress Congress, sought to hurry busi-
ness as soon as the Senate met, at II
o'clock.
Not only was the naval bill taken
up, but the Military Committee met
to take action on the army bill.
The war risk bill, trebling the
strength of the bureau, was passed.
The conference report on the Porto
Rico bill, hitherto deemed in danger
of defeat, was adopted.
AS the situation stands, the Repub-
licans have 1t in their power to force
an extra session by killing time on
appropriation bills.
