j, s, BALLOON BLOWN
AGAINST AEROPLANE
Last Nights Storm Makes Air
craft at Brandywine Park
Dream of War.

The e5-foot army observation balloon
on exhibition in Brandywine Park never
got to war. but during the storm last
night il dreamed that il had. The bal
loon was sleeping peacefully when the
storm broke Suddenly peals of thunder
broke out like the explosion of the
Arches, as the A. Il. f. called anti
aircraft shells. Flashes of lightning
added TO the illusion. Rain battered
against the silken sides of the balloon
like the incendiary bullets which end q
balloon S career in one big burst OF fame.
Wind howled across the little park,
and pushed the balloons expansive sides
so roughly that it rolled over against
the Curtiss JNH plane which the air
service had on exhibition beside it. The
wings of the plane had been taken off, but
the sharp corners of the motor pressed
uncomfortably against the balloons silk
shirt Then the old gas-bag woke up.
By the time the story of this modest
occurrence had crossed the Brandywinc
and wandered from mouth 10 mouth to
the Every Evening office, II had grown in
tvpicalrumor fashion to thrilling proper
tions. The version that reached the news
room was that an aeroplane flying over
the city had been blown against the
Washington street bridge and had crashed
to fragraments in the gorge below.

DEMOCRATS TO NAME
committeeman At
STATE CONVENTION
New Plan That Virtually Places
Selection in Hands of
Voters.
DIFFERS PROM G. o. P. PLAN

Delaware's 5 next member of the Demo
cratic National Committee will be elected
at the State convention, TO be held IN
Dover, about month hence, for the elec-
tion of delegates to the national conven-
ton, in San Francisco.
Formerly il has been the custom, which
is still followed by the Republicans, Of
having the delegates TO the national con-
vention make the selection while attending
the latter convention, wherever 1t might
be held Two years ago, however, at a
Democratic state convention, the party
rules we're changed so as to provide fer
the direct selection OF the national COM
mittecman at the state convention by the
state convention delegates. Consequent
ly, this plan will be followed this year
To make the selection IN tins way Is
regarded as more democratic than the
old plan and the one still followed by the
Republicans IL places the matter en-
tirely in the hands of the state convention
delegates, who are elected by all OF the
Democratic voters Of the State, thus max
ing it an issue at the primaries at which
the convention delegates are named.
CONTEST IN PROSPECT.
Present indications point TO contest
for National Committeeman, between
United States Senator Josiah o. Wolcott
and former United States Senator Willard
Salisbury
1t is also likely that there will be a
contest for delegates TO the national con-
vention. There will be one from VIII
mington, one from rural New Castle
county and two each from Kent and
Sussex. Quite number of names have
been mentioned, including the following:
From Wilmington-William Coyne and
Peter Ford.
Rural New Castle Richard S. Rodney
of New Castle, jefferson b. Foard and
Frederick Brady Of Middletown, Josiah
Marvel of Christiana hundred, County
Chairman Eben b. Frazer Of Newark and
John G. Gray of Brandywine hundred
Kent-Former United States Senator
Richard r. Kenney of Dover and Ben
jamin A. Hazel of Smyrna.

AGREEMENT LIKELY
With CARPENTERS
Probability of Amicable Settle
ment of Wage Question Next
Wednesday Night.

An agreement between contractors and
the members of Local No. 626 of the
Brotherhood OF Carpenters and Jolners OF
America will have to be made some time
during the coming week if a strike OF car
penters in Wilmington and vicinity is
averted.
The wage scale of carpenters. under
which they are now working, is so cents
an hour. Quite some while ago the car
penters formulated demands and pre-
sented them to the contractors and
builders, calling for a scale of SIPS an
hour, effective MAY 1. There have been
numerous conferences, but up to date no
agreement has been reached. The same
demands were made by the carpenters at
Philadelphia, Chester, Baltimore and
other cities in this section. So it will be
seen that If there is not some compromise
reached, or unless one side or the other
backs down, there will be strike, which
will halt a great part OF the building
operations that have been revived with
the coming of spring weather.
In Wilmington and vicinity there are
AS contractors on what is termed by the
carpenters the "fair list" These As en-
ploy about 500 Of the / 800 or more mem
bers of Local 626. 1t is with these As, or 4
committee representing them, that the
Carpenters are dealing, it is said
A committee representing the contract
ors had meeting last week with the car
penters, and the situation was gone over,
and as a result of that meeting it is be-
heved that basis of settlement has been
or will be reached, and a strike averted.
1t is thought probable that compromise
will be effected, and that something like
81 an hour will be the wage scale to be
agreed on, effective May J.
The question will be thoroughly thresh-
ed out and probably final action taken at a
meeting next Wednesday night Of Local
