STATE HOUSE, Dover. Jan. i6-Tho
Senate did not convene until 1870 o'clock
the Republican members having been
IN confe. ence. They are said 10 have
considered the resolution presented yes
te-day by Senator Gormley calling on
the State Treasurer to furnish the Gen.
eral Assembly with the ar/bmt Of State
Income Tax paid last year by citizens
Of Wilmington and also by the citizens
Of the rural sections.
On the convening Of the Senate. Sena-
tor Gormey called for the third -ead-
ing and lnsl passage OF the resolution.
Senator James F. Alice offered An
amendment 10 the resolution striking
out the date Of January 81, and leav-
ing the resolution 20 read "at the con-
venlence Of the State Treasurer, during
the present session OF the Legislature. ."
To this Senator Gormley offered seri-
Gus objections stating that the -esolu-
tion was meaningless and might as well
be defeated II such was the attitude Of
the Republican members.
Senator Gormley also charged bad
faith on the part OF those who con-
ferred with him, at which conference,
Senator Gormley stated that February

stead OF January 81. which he declared
was perfectly satisfactory to him. SEN

stating that he was the one who had
seen Senator Gormley and that it was
his understanding that the State treas
urer would have the information de-
sired by February 10, but that he did
not see any use in putting the date
in the amendment.
Senator Robertson asked that Sens-
tor Alice withdraw his amendment, but
Senator Alice stated that he say no
reason for so doing. Senator Robert
son then emphatlcally stated that IL
was his understanding in the caucus
that he thought all the other senators
except Senator Alice, had understood
that the specific date OF February 10
was to be included in the amendment.
Senator Walker and others also stated
that Senator Robertson's explanation
was their understanding Of the matter.
Senator Alice moved for recess. but 10
was defeated by a - TO 2. Senator's
Alice and Handy cast the only two votes
