REFUSE COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON. Nov. IA UNITED Press)
Rejection OF the peace treaty by the
Senate or by President Wilson is as
siired II the resolution OF ratification
gees to a vote containing the reserya-
tion to Article 10, which has already
been adopted by the Senate sitting in
mmittee Of the whole.
This was the opinion IN administra-
f-cn quarters here today, and It Is
Jased on the Presidents own words
frequently reiterated during his recent
tour Of the United States. Whether
the President will then carry out his
threat 10 send leading opponents, in
cluding Senator Lodge, 10 Weimar, to
negotiate a new treaty, remains 10 be
seen.
Wilson has served notice that we
would consider adoption OF the reser-
walton TO Article 30 rejection Of the
whole treaty. There Is nothing TO in
dicate that he has changed this atti-
tude. When Senator Hitchcock recent

il is generally known here that the

them.
What the Hitchcock forces In the
Senate hope TO do is 10 reject the reso-
luton OF ratification, containing the OBJ
jecilonable reservation. then propose a
new resolution OF ratification, which
e. ey expect the opposition to defeat,
and then get together on a compromise.
But the strongest members OF the op-

That the flre which destroyed the s

Of robbers, is the opinion OF William
Allen. watchman at the store, who re-
ported TO the police, during the progress
Of the Gre, that several times, on Tues
day night, he had heard noises in the
store. These noises, he said, caused him
TO draw his revolver twice during the
night. and when he made Investigations
he could not see anything 20 Justify his
suspicion that someone was In the
building.
The fact that the watchman thought
robbers were In the store, coupled with
the statement Of PatrOlman Robert Wal
lace, who discovered the fire, that he
saw a man running west on Sixth street
from Market street, when the flames
started 10 leap from the building. indi-
cate that robbers might have started

Allen said that about 230 o'clok he
heard the noises and went to the cell
lar. where he planned 20 re-kindle the
furnace fire. which had been cut since
Saturday, the store being closed on
Tuesday. While In the store cellar at
work on the heater, he heard a noise
like an explosion and rushing 10 the
store, found flames shooting up near the
windows.
The watchman said that as far as he
knew, there was no FIRE In the building
prior to this time.

P.S. DUPONT URGES
WIDER MARKET ST.

duPont's Land Offer
NO OBJECTION ON
DU POINT CO.'S PART

By action Of Pierre s. dupont, per-
sonally, and as representing E /. du-
Pont de Nemours & Company. the way
has been cleared for widening Market
street between Ninth and Tenth streets.
In a communication 10 City Council
last night. Mr.. dupont urges accept
ance OF the offer Of Alfred l. dupont
TO deed the city a strip Of land y feet
long and i4h feet wide, on Market
street, north Of Ninth, in front OF the
new Delaware Trust Company build
ing, in return for tax-free use OF the
space beneath the strip for bank vaults.
Pierre ;. duPont's letter to City
Council is as follows
Gentlemen: ! note in The Evening
Journal OF November 9th, 1919, report
Of a discussion in regard TO the accept
Rnce Of an offer OF Mr.. Alfred /. du-
POnt for the widening OF Market street,
between Ninth and Tenth streets. /
quote:
Several Councilmen ralsed the
question whether il would be entirely
fair to grant tax freedom TO Alfred /.
dupont and yet levy taxes on vaults
beneath sidewalks built by other du-
Points and property owners. As to the
street widening, il was pointed out
that p. s. dupont personally had paid
for the strip Of land necessary 10
widen Eleventh street and Delaware
avenue without asking so much as a
cent in return, and the dupont Com
pany had widened both Tenth and Elev-
enth streets preliminary TO erecting the
dupont Building without asking any
special rights OF the city
Certainly neither E. /. dupont de
Nemours & Company, nor /, personally,
could feel aggrieved il the city should
accept Mr.. duPont's proposition, which
seems fair and greatly to the advantage
Of the people OF Wilmington. !, there
fore, earnestly recommend that Mr.. du-
Points offer be accepted without ques-
iioning reservation Of rights TO space |
under the sidewalk"
According TO a statement made by |
Mayor Taylor, who spoke as vice-pres- !
dent OF the Delaware Trust Company,
It the meeting Of Council in committee |
IF the whole, on November G. the strip |
II land which Alfred /. dupont offers \
20 deed 20 the city in return for tax
rec privileges, is worth easily $4,000. |
'lr. Taylor reached this figure by esti- !
mating that a suite of offices could be I,
)uilt on each floor within the dimen-
ions OF the strip which would bring
n at least $1,000 rental year. As the
lew trust company building will be
thirteen stories high on Market street.
ne yearly income from the suites on
III the floors would be approximately
1900.
