The Government spirit is one Of
firm determination TO guard Americas
rights and lives, regardless OF any
effort Congress may make to thwart
the Administrations Will.
Meantime, in the Senate. the presi-
DENTAL authority bin lay dormant to-
day while the possibility Of a filibuster
by Senators LaFollette, Norris and
possibly others, created the danger
that IL would 80 by the boards. La
Toilette last night blocked the bill so

In the lower house. the Foreign
Committee met again at 10 A. m.
Representative Porter fought for his
proposal that Wilson not be given

except TO remove from IL the "other

McNabb inquired whether the seevral
employees Of the same man or set Of
men could get blanket insurance. He
was told that this could be done, that
the men are not insured by name but
as so many individuals.
S. d. Townsend, Jr., made a short
address. during which he said that
workmen's compensation is sure to
come in Delaware, He declared there
is no politics IN the present bills and
that employers had better accept the
proposed bill before the Legislature

Thomas Nolan, Of Richmond, vice
president Of the Boilermakers' inter-

Mr.. Townsend stated that the bill
that he had ia mind during the dis

Senator Gormley.
The Senate bill exempts farmers

with State banking powers.
A similar bill introduced by Senator
Brown, to change the Sussex National
Bank. Of Seaford, TO the Farmers and
Merchants Trust Company, Of Sea-

Senate.
The Senate passed Senator Harris
Joint resolution authorizing the secre-
tary of state to furnish each member
Of the General Assembly with per-

Code of Delaware
The House bill providing for an
allowance of $3.50 for an additional

Save Oyster Collector.
After considerable dissension on the
floor Of the Senate, the House bill to
abolish the Office Of collector of oy-
ster revenue and placing the duties
of that office with the captain of the
oyster watchboat was killed by a
strict party vote Of 9 yeas to Z nays,
with Senator Newton absent. The
Democratic members supported the
\ bill and the regular and independent
Republicans combined against it.
In opening the discussion on the
\ bill Senator Wharton charged that the
4 bill was marked for slaughter"
! He declared that oyster conditions
I in Delaware have been troublesome
| for a number of years, and that the
bill was prepared as a result Of the
i trouble Governor Miller had during
his four years in office over oyster
revenue matters.
He stated that the bill provided for
! the promotion of efficiency and hon
esty in office.
"This bill, l am sorry to say, is
marked for slaughter" he declared
ct passed the House without a dis
senting vote. and no politics entered
it until it got over here"
He stated that it was unfortunate
that politics had entered into the mat
tier. as the bill possessed great merit
! He pointed out that more opportuni
ties were afforded the office of State
revenue collector for graft than any
OGneT OulStI hpHoAubEu bg bub SONbI
nor.
In conclusion he said he advocated
the bill through a sense of State pride
as he believed the resources OF Della
ware should be reserved for Della
wareans.
Senator Frazier opposed the bill OF
the ground that it would be mistak,
to combine the two Offices at thi!
time, as he thought the captain O
the watch boat should devote all hi
time to protecting oystermen ant
watching oyster beds, and would no
have time to collect the oystel
revenue.
Senator Wharton pointed out tina
at the present time the captain o
the watch boat collects two-thirds o
the revenue and turns it over TO thu
collector.
Senator Walker also opposed thu
bill from the viewpoint that too mucl
authority would be vested in one man
