MARSHALL AGAINST

drop the hints that Tammany might
be for Marshall and cut away from
both McAdoo and Cox if Marshall
could be induced to come out on a
straightforward anti-Wilson league,
moist and Irish sympathy platform,
That such a thing was possible. was
asserted by several influential Demo-
Gratis who interpretated the Republi-
can platform as wide open for such
lineup from the opposition.
For AmerIcanized Treaty.
The vice-president, according to his
intimates here. had long been opposed
to President Wilson's rigid insistenco
upon unreserved ratification of the
peace treaty, has ever been a liberal
on the prohibition issue, and Is in
sympathy with the cause Of Irish
freedom. With such a candidate and
such a platform, Democrats said, the
issues between the Republicans and
Democrats could be clearly drawn.
McAdoo, they said, would represent
the views of Wilson unequivocally.
Cox, in their opinion, would represent
straddle on the league issue, with
sympathy for prohibition liberalization
and the hopes of the Irish. Marshall
they declared, could stand four square
on all three vital issues in direct op
position to the Republican platform
Whatever becomes of the Marshall
candidacy, there is every indication
that eastern Democrats are preparing
to fight Bryan on the prohibition is
sue and to give adherents of the Irish
cause, turned down by the Republi'
cans, prayerful hearing.

COUNCIL VOTES TO
INSTALL TURBINE IN
CITY LIGHT PLANT

BY vote CT nine to three council
went on record No nday night as fav-
oring the installation of one 5000 kilo-
watt turbine at the municipal light
plant. Councilm opposing the meas
ure were Thatchp4, Ford and Walter
mann.
The decision WIS reached at an In
formal meeting o. council as a COM
mittee OF the VIII lie with the mayor
and the bard Of works in the board
Of works room.
The mayor and board presented a
unanimous report 10 council recon-
mending that the 5000 kilowatt ma
chinery he installed. All of the coun-
Gil expressed themselves as in favor
of improvements but the three voting
against the 5000 unit thought that
5000 unit would take care OF the
needs of the city now.
In a report to council Superintend-
ent Dillon pointed out that the oper-
ating expenses C a 1000 unit would
practically equal those of a larger
unit According to his figures the
smaller unit used more coal in pro-
ducing unit of power than the larger
turbine.
Cost to be $24o,ooo.
The cost of the Improvement will
be approximately $4,000, according
to the estimate submitted by Mr.
Dillon.
Harry Gilbert, chairman Of the board
of works. discussed the matter OF nm
ancing the installation. Mr.. Gilbert
read replies from several Of the large
banks of the state, each recommend
ing that the city issue bonds or notes
to cover the improvement at rate
of interest of not less than six per
cent and for a long term, preferably
10 years.
In order that contractors may bid on
the turbine it will be necessary for
council to make an appropriation to
cover the cost. The nature of the
appropriation will be decided upon at
council meeting next Monday night.
In case the contract is let 1mmedi-
ately the work cannot be completed
within a year, experts say.
Alter Lighting Plans.
A decision to alter the lighting plans
for the West Main street bridge was
reached by council. The plans call for
% lamps.
The plan now is to eliminate half
Of the lamps thus alternating or zig
tagging" them on the bridge. Mr..
Dillon told council that owing to the
increased cost Of materials, $1,000
would be required to carry out the
present plans

WANT A STAY OF EXECUTION
Appeal Made for Thirty Days Leeway
For Ernest Thomas, Negro, Who
Assailed Dexters Corner Woman

Appeal has been made to Governor
John G. Townsend, Jr., by the Negro
Protective Association, of Whining
ton, for stay of 80 days in the exc
cutiOn of Ernest Thomas, 20 years old,
cOlOred, sentenced to be hanged in
the New Castle County WOrkhOuse,
next Friday, for felonous attack on
Mrs. Emma Tailley, a white woman.
SO years old, of Dexters Corner,
Blackbird Hundred. The appeal is
based partly on the evidence i nthe
case and partly on the fact that the
victim of the assault is alive. Friends
of Thomas are said to be aroused in
his behalf because of the escape from
hanging of Ollie Morris, white, who
pleaded guilty to killing his own IA
ther by cutting his throat and then
attempting to destroy the evidence of
the crime by driving with the remains
onto the railroad track in Sussex
county; and of Clarence Broadard, IL
years old, colored, who murdered his
employer, a FELTON, farmer, by firing
at him with shot gun as he lay
asleep in his home. They allege that
murderers escape in Kent and Sussex
counties and that mere assailants are
hanged in New Castle county. A.
rangements for the execution on Fri
day are said to be complete. The war
den will utilize the same gallows as
was used for the triple execution
three years ago, the last hanging III
Delaware. The prisoner receives re-
ligious consolation daily in his cell
and is fed from the warden's table.
He is said to be accepting the stu 4
tiOn calmly. Fred Hamman, a blind
musician, provides him with cOnsid-
cradle consolation. The only requests
Thomas has made so far is that War
den Plummer accompany him to the
gallOws and hold his hand until the
trap falls.
