THE TWO SENATORS At WAR

Special Dispatch From Every Evenings
Washington Correspondent
Washington. Dec. iS.---Whilc the
deadlock" resulting from conflicting
efforts 10 have appointed tho Inter-
nal Revenue Collector OF Delaware
remains firm and unshaken, there Is
considerable discussion among those
Interested In the matter, and the vari-
Gus opinions as to the ultimate out
come arc as divergent as this influ-
ences being exercised IN behalf OF the
opposing factions.
Senator Ball Is stan ling firmly and
rosolutely behind Thomas IL. Peency.
his secretary and personal friend. and
Senator du Pom; is supporting Syl-
vestcr ID. Townsend for tho job. How
ever, Il has been suggested that Sem
ator du Points support of Townsend
Is somewhat of a negative character.
while Senator Balls support of Peeney
Is positive and aggressive.
The friends of Pecney feel that the
longer the fight lasts. the stronger
Senator Balls secretary will grow, as
each passing day brings nearer the
time when the junior Senator from
Delaware, who is now serving the
remnant of an unexpired term. will
ask for re-eleetion--and that time Is
less than one year or.
Whether it DO violent presumption
or not. the opinion is expressed that
Senator du Pont Is not anxious TO
engage In any kind of factional strife
at this time. and II Is said that FOR
this reason he IS not making a very
hard fight in the struggle for col
lectorship.
1t is understood. on the other hand,
there has been some sharp correspon-
dcnce between Senator BAH and SEN
ator du Font over the collectorship.
II this be true. IL may be assumed
that instead OF getting together the
Senators arc getting farther apart.
II may he said with assurance that
Senator Ball is confident OF pceney's
appointment. lie thinks the passing
days will weaken the opposition, and
that in tho end his sccretarss will land
the job.

|SADOR KE|L IS
ExONERATED IN COURT
Prosecutor Enters Nolle Prose-
qui Following Thorough
investigation.

Assistant City Solicitor +. w. Green.
In Municipal Court today. entered a
pollc prosequi I'm case OF Isador Keil.
who had been charged with conspiracy
TO dcfraud automobile insurance COM
psnies. Arthur Christopher. arrested
on the same charge, waived q hearing.
through his attorney, Philip l.. Garret.
aud was held under $500 bail for the
Court Of General Sessions.
Mr.. Green told a reporter of Every
Evening that he based his action on
the result OF a complete investigation.
which, he said. showed Inconsistencies
In Christopher's allegations. The three
men. who. Christopher said. Were
present when he claimed Keil offered
him $50 10 drive off an automobile and
later report it stolen, refute the charge,
Mr.. Green said, denying they had ever
heard such n conversation.
Christopher also claimed that he
drove off the automobile in question
on August 81. while several other per-
sons say they saw the machine in the
garage after that date.
keil reported the theft of the auto
mobile on September 5. police records
show.
Mr.. Keil told an Every Evening
man today. discussing the above case
that he had no connection with any
transaction on which any such charge
could be based. Several weeks ago. he
said. Christopher brought car 10
him and offered TO sell Il. When asked
Tor a bill of sale, keil said. CHRISTOPHER
said he had none, btit went out to get
one. kcil says he notified the police
who accordingly had arrived at his
place when Christopher returned with
what purported to he a bill OF sale,
The police took charge of Christopher
az that time, but detained him only a
short time and let him so, Kcil said
Later. he says. Christopher asked him
" he had called the police, which evi-
IDENTITY provoked him.
When the police were asked today
why they did not deta.n Christopher
at the time referred TO by Keil. they
said they made an investigation anc
were convinced that he had a righ,
TO sell the car he was trying TO sell
and for that reason they had no charge
on which to hold him.

URGE PENNEW|LL
FOR COLLECTOR
Former Governor Being Doomed
by Friends, But Will Not
Seek Office.

Special Correspondence Every Evening.
Dover, Dec. 15.---with the deadlock
over the naming Of q candidate for
Internal revenue collector continuing.
apparently without change. as Ear as
the two United States Senator's from
Delaware are concerned. friends OF
former Governor Simeon s. pennewill
OF this town, are urging him TO be-
come n candidate.
Governor Pennewill viii not assist
his friends in announcing his can
didacy, but that is not ceterring them
from recommending him as choice Of
down State Republicans for the po-
sition. His friends say that while Mr.
Pennewill will not seek the position.
If il was offered TO him, he would
accept.
The gossip has all the earmarks Of
pretty. reliable foundation. The for
mer governor is on very friendly
terms with Senator l.. Heisler Ball and
his friends, and while it was decided
that the collectorship should go TO q
Wilmington man, yet il is asserted
that Senator Coleman du Pont would
not oppose Mr.. Pennewill il he is
named by Senator Ball.
Friends of Thomas r. Peeney, whom
Senator Ball is backing for The po-
sitlon, say that II il isn't Peeney for
collector, il viii not be any other VIII
mington man. That makes the pos
sibility of Mr.. Pennewill or some other
down state man the stronger. Some
OF Mr.. Peeney's friends also say, that
II he is not agreed upon for the po-
sition, that it will go untitled until
after the election next fall.
Should some down state Republican
be agreed upon for the collectorship
then it is said that Slr. Peeney would
be offered the deputyship.
