monotonously the same--the super

CONDUCTOR
IS FINED

When trainmen hold crossings in
East Chicago they should take a sharp
look into the waiting crowd TO sec that
Chief Struss or Mayor Callahan or some
police officer is not among those that
are experiencing the inconvenience.
This city has the reputation of keep
ing its many crossings in fairly good
shape but there has been a seeming
laxness of late on the part OF train en-
ployees 10 keep certain crossings from
being blocked unnecessarily. Many
complaints have come TO the city au-
thorities. but it was only last night
that one of the officials themselves was
a party to the occurrence.
Chief Struss was on his way home
shortly after five o'clock and was on
the South Shore street car when it
came UP against a blockade at the !. n.
3. crossing on Chicago avenue. There
were several automobiles standing
there at that time.

"Drys" Contend No Petition
is Necessary TO Get Sub
mission in Wilmington
MAJORITY OF BOTH
HOUSES COULD DO 1T
Stan Correspondent


DOVER, Jan. 16.-That the dry
forces Of the State are determined TO
make a fight during this session of
tho Legislature for radical dry"
measures was demonstrated yester-
day, when the Rev. h. c. Prettyman.
superintendent OF the Anti-SalOon
League. announced that efforts would
be made to get through the General
Assembly a bill providing for a vote
on the liquor license question in VIII
mington as we'll as rural New Castle
county.
II had been generally understood
that the only way to get vote on
this question in any OF the four con-
stitutional districts of the State was
by petition. Mr. Prettynan contends,
however. that he has good legal adj
vice to the effect that all that Is nee
essary to get the vote at a special cleo
ton on the dry" and wet question
is the passage OF a bill by the Legis-
lature by majority vote.
Il is pointed out tiEtt the constitution
provides that when a petition il signed
by q majority Of the members Of both
houses from some particular constitu-
tional district it is mandatory for the
AEHl-ANAklt ~ fnr7 AA tANN NfAaNA NA+-Ar- A'A
the election. But it is claimed by the
"drys" that this does not prevent the
Legislature from passing bill providing
for a special election on the liquor ques-
tipn without petition.
According to Mr.. Prettyman. the
"dry," will try 10 force through n bin
providing for a special election on the
liquor question in both Wilmington and
rural New Castle county next fall Tn,

have 70 be separate in the two districts
