DOVER Del. Feb. 94--After a heated
discussion the Senate today, by a vote
OF 10 yeas 70 Z nays, passed Senator

the daylight saving plan and instruct
ing the Delaware representatives IN
Congress to vote against the measure TO
set the clock ahead one hour.
Il developed, during the discussion,
that the farmers OF the state are OPP
posed 10 the daylight saving plan be-
cause il interferes with their work Il
calling UP the resolution for acticn,
Senator Long explained that the day
light saving proposition was now be-
ing considered at Washington and that
tbs was the proper time to adopt the
resolution so that Il could be sent 10
Delaware's Congressional delegation in
time.
Senator Gormley vigorously opposed
the adoption Of the resolution. Re
ferring 10 last years experience with
the daylight saving plan, he declared u
was one OF the greatest boons 70 the
working man that had been put in
practice for a long time, for while it
necessitated their going 10 work an
hour earlier, IL also gave them an ad-
dltional hour in the evening for recrea-
tion and 10 work in their war gar
dens." He declared that the plan had
been a great success last summer and
should be continued.
Senator Palmer also opposed the
resolution on the same ground as SEN
ator Gormley, declaring that the work
ingmen were greatly benefited. by the
earlier hour plan. and he did not be
lieve tbs Delaware Legislature should
nut itself on record as opposing the
plan OF the National Administration.
Senator Alice agreed with Senator
Palmer. declaring that Il would be
rather oflcious for the Legislature TO
send a resolution to Washington TO
tell the Congressional delegation what
10 DO.
Senator Walker strenuously opposed
q continuance Of the daylight saving
plsn and advocated the adoption Of
the Long resolution. He declared that
a great many persons think the day
light saving plan is rank toolishness,
absolutely nothing OF Il"
Some Of the farmers. he declared, had
never set their watches according 70
the new time. cts absolute nonsense
for the government 70 regulate the
time" he declared In conclusion.
Referring TO Senator Gormley.s men
ton Of gar gardens, senator Richards,
who also favored the Long resolution,
pointed out that the farms are more I'M
portant than the gardens.
Senator Robertson agreed with Sena-
tor Gormley and declared that the
National Administration knows better
than the Legislature what is needed as
n is closer touch with the situation.
He also pointed out that thousands OF
citizens OF Wilmington had used that
extra hour TO cultivate their gardens.

STATE SENATE OPPOSES
DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN

Senator Hollett pointed out that there
is nothing compulsory in the daylight
saving plan and that the farmers were
net compelled TO comply with IL by
starting work an hour earlier or stop
ping an hour later
Senator Price believed that the law
would be a good thing for the city, but
was not right for the rural sections
and that as a representative Of rural
section be would support the resolu-
ton.
Senator Bennett declared that while
he personally favored the daylight saw
ing plan. IL was a different proposition
with the farmers.
Senator Gormley could not see why
the farmers could not get Just as much
work done by starting an hour earlier
and stopping an hour caller.
Declaring that he spoke as a farmer,
Senator Latta opposed tho daylight
saving plan and advocated the adoption
OF Senator Longs resolution
Senator Webster also advocated the
resolution, declaring that the residents
OF his hundred were opposed 10 the
daylight saving plan.
Il expect Congress viii do as Il
pleases anyhow remarked Senator
Holleit.
This discussion has enlightened me
upon one point" remarked Senator
Gormley. land that r., that tho farm
ers have at last realized the war is
over. / hope that during the coming
season they viii remember that tho
war is over and bring the prices OF
their products down"
Senator Handy took exception 70 Sena-
tor Gormley's remarks. He assorted
that the farmer has little 10 say In the
liking Of prices and referred 20 the fact
that the President had Axed the price
Of wheat.
Senator Gormley asked Senator Handy
II he had ever purchased anything in
the King or Madison street markets. in
Wilmington. and the Kent Senator ad-
mitted that he had not.
Senator Bennett then made a plea
for the rights OF the farmer, pointing
out how he had been Handicapped and
the important part he played in the
winning OF the war.
Senator Robertson pointed out how
inconsistent Senator Bennett was IN
taking his stand. after advocating a
lower price for tomatoes. The vote on
the resolution was then taken, result
ing as follows:
Nays-Senators Alice. Gormley, Hol-
lett. Murphy, Palmer, Pool and Robert
son.

DIFFERENCE OVER
NEW BRIDGE BILLS
Stan Correspondent.

Stan Correspondent.
DOVER. Del, Feb. 2i.-County Ensi-
neer Grub and several members Of the
New Castle County Levy Court, came
TO Dover today, in the interests Of
county bills and especially the new
bridge bills. Engineer Grub showed
the Washington street bridge plans TO
the members.
It is reported that there is some op-
position to the bill naming commission
ers to build the bridges, as some friends
OF the Levy Courtmen feel the Levy
Court should be empowered TO super
wise the bridge construction. On the
other hand there is a strong sentiment
for the construction to be placed under
the supervision Of q commission OF
business men, who are accustomed TO
handling big projects.

WOULD LICENSE THE
CITY TAXI DRIVERS

Contending that irresponsible taxlcah
drivers are causing them much trouble
local taxicab operators nave asked
members Of City Council TO allow them
a conference on Wednesday evening OF
this week II Is proposed by the taxi
cab operators to ask Council to pass an
ordinance requiring them 10 pay a
yearly license Of 500 and TO have every
driver furnish a $500 bond.
Who VINO are in favor OF the propOs-
ed ordinance contend that within the
past few weeks the police have arrested
several drivers on charges OF larceny
and other offenses and that, as a result,
many Of their patrons are afraid 20
call on them for service.
It is felt that with the city requiring
bonds from operators, the travelling
public would be more or less safe
guarded.

MOTHER GETS POSTAL
SHOWER FROM HERO

Striking local evidence Of the poor
way in which the mail Of American
soldiers in FRANCE has been handled, is
found in the fact that on Saturday Mrs.
Frederick c. Mccall, Of No. $40 Adams
street. received in one mall sixty-nine
postal cards from her son, Wallace T.
Mccall, who is with the Motor Division
over there.
Private Mccall wrote and mailed
those postal cards from time to time,
but they were held up in transit and
finally reached Mrs. Mccall in the
shape Of a postal shower, that many
persons win not regard as creditable to
those who handle the army mail.
