DOVER March s.-After hear
ing considerable discussion on the
matter the Senate yesterday after
noon deferred action on Senator
walkers bill to increase from 40 TO
75 cents per day the charge to the
different counties for the board OF
prisoners at the New Castle County
Workhouse.
This bill has been storm centre
tor some weeks. II had been fixed
as a special order for o'clock in
the Senate yesterday afternoon. and
when that time arrived the Senate
resolved itself into a committee OF
the whole and reported the bill out
unfavorably. Senator Walker. the
introducer. was the only Senator to
vote against the report.
it was then on motion OF Sena-
tor Alice placed on final passage
Horace l.. Dilworth. member Of
the board OF trustees OF the work
house was given the privilege OF the
floor and advocated the bill. During
his talk on the bill. Mr.. Dilworth
was questioned closely by various
senators. including Senators Alice.
Robertson and Palmer.
Mr.. Dilworth explained that the
trustees since the workhousc was
started have paid OF s15S.OO0 in
bonds bought two farms costing
$40. 900. and stocked and equipped
the farms at a cost OF probably
$40. 900 more.
IL was brought out that all this
was done on the basis of n charge
Ct 40 cents per day for the board OF
I prisoners. Mr.. Dilworth said tn,
workhouse has been going behind
under the rate OF charges during the
past two years.
Mr.. Dilworth admitted that th'
trustees had lost money on tn,
farms bought by them, although
they have not gotten rid or IN,
farms after having been advised L
do so by both a legislative commit
tee and the New Castle county grans
jury
Nessrs. Alice. Robertson and Pal
mer argued that the fact that tn
trustees in the past have paid OF
bonds. bought and maintained farm
AZ loss. would indicate that tn,
prisoners can be maintained at
, less cost than the bill provides FOR
Chief Warden Plummer. OF IN
workhouse, also took part in tn
discussion. explaining certain item
as to the maintenance. Some OF tn
Senators questioned as to whethe
or not IL would require as much q
maintain the prisoners the next yea
as provided in the proposed budget
II was on motion OF Senate
walker that action was deferred.

Cotter Is
 Finally
 Arrested

Sought since last Saturday as a material witness in connection with the killing of Louis Wrinkle, in New Britain, Friday night. Edward J. Cot ter was arrested early this morning at his home. 1905 State street, this city, and is now being held by the local police as a fugitive from justice. He will be turned over to the New Britain authorities today.
 Cotter's arrest was brought about through tip given by a truck driver, who told the police that he had given the young a man a ride from Berlin to Meriden. Saturday morning. The truckman said that Cotter told him that he slept in cider mill Friday night, the night of the shooting. This mill is located near the stable in the rear of which Wrinkles body was found.
 On June 25. COtter was arrested here on the complaint of his 16-year- old wife, who claimed that he aSsa ult- ed her. When arraigned in the City court he was given a suspended jail sentence of 30 days.
 The murder of Wrinkle, who was well known in New Britain, is thought to have been the work of a gang of bootleggers, and has created great excitement throughout the state State police have been called in to investigate the work of a New Brit ain police sergeant who has been working on the case.

Lower Bank Rates Are
 Predicted

Washington Sept. 21.-Lower bank rates at an early date were predicted today at the close of the quarterly session of the advisory council of the Federal Reserve Board. New York and Boston Federal Reserve Banks both of which have a flat rediscouot rate of five and one-half per cent will be the first to make re-discount rate cuts.
 Other banks in the Federal Reserve system notably Chicago and Cleveland may be quick to follow the lead of Boston and New York. Officials of the Federal Reserve Board refuses to di- vulge details of the discussions of the council except to say there had been q more extended canvass of the eco homie situation and that easier money conditions was an outstanding factor
 Drops in reserve bank re-diScount rates will exert a healthy influence immediately upon credit. The strength of the Federal Reserve system and it's ability to meet future emergency is indicated by the almost unprecedented rates registered for some of the big districts of the East and-Middle West.
