KNOCKS OUT CLAIM
OF ITS KENT'S TURN

The attempt OF Senators Barnard
and Frazier of Kent county, and OF
some Of their friends. to bolster up
their 'me-or-nobody' hold-up Of organ
ization of the State Senate is very
amusing. even though the attempt OF
three Republican Senators to try to
dominate seven is costing the State
much money.
An attempt is made, IN behalf Of
Barnard and Frazier, to convey an inn
preston that it Is Kent county's turn
for the president pro tenn. n the ro-
tation principle is followed, It would
be Sussex county's turn for the presi-
dent pro TEN. New Castle county had
the last president pro TEN. Senator
Walker; and Kent county had the
previous one, the late Senator George
W. Marshall Sussex has not had a
president pro TEN. for years and all
this talk Of Kent's turn is easily ex-
ploded.

ELABORATE ball ROOM
AS ONE new Feature

Tentative plans have been prepared
by the DUPONT Company for an addi-
ton to the DUPONT Building at Tenth
and Market streets. which when made,
will include additional room for the
dupont Hotel. This addition Will be
made on the lot on Eleventh street ad-
joining the building which is owned
by the company.
John ]. Raskob, treasurer OF the
dupont Company, who was one Of the
first to suggest the fine hotel that is
now being conducted and which has
done so much to advertise the city,
stated this morning that sketches
have been made for the proposed ad-
ditions to the office building and hotel.
Mr.. Raskob explained that the dupont
Company as q matter OF necessity, has
to look ahead and that notwithstand-
ing the recent large addition to the
building. which also allowed the ho-
tel 20 enlarge. there Is not enough
room FOR either TO meet the demands.

dition was completed recently, II is
often necessary 20 turn away patrons.
Every room In the hotel is filled most
Of the time and many more rooms
could be used. The situation in the
dupont Building Is about the same.
The DUPONT Company occupies about
60 per cent. Of the floor space in the
dupont Building, according TO Mr..
Raskob The other 40 per cent. is oc-
cupied by other tenants. There is
not a vacant room in the building,
and, IN fact, there has been a per-
sistent demand for offices which can
not be met
It is because OF these conditions
that the dupont interests are planning
to erect another addition. Mr.. Ras-
kob stated today that the new addi-
tion may go up within six months
and that II may not be for two years.
II is understood that when the addi
tion is built it viii make the duPon'
