RAILROADS REJECT PROGRAM
viii Stand BY New Men Against
Seni0rity.-HoOver' Plea In Vain

Railway executives of the nation
yesterday firmly but courteously re-
jected the program advanced by the
Harding administration for settle
ment of the rail strike. Willing to
accept conditionally two suggestions
put forward by the White House
that both sides abide by wage de-
cisions of the railroad labor board and
that lawsuits springing out of the
strike be withdrawn-the heads of Ia
roads declared emphatically that it
was impossible to reinstate strikers
with unimpaired seniority rights, the
third provision in the Presidents plan.
After beng told by Robert S. Lovett,
of the Union Pacific that there was no
moral or practical reason for budging
from their position, the executives dis
banded, caught the first trains for
their respective headquarters, and in
Dictated that they were going ahead
and would operate their roads with the
forces they had assembled since the
shopmen walked out on July l. The
decision not to yield on the question
of seniority was made known to the
White House by telegraph, after the
rail heads had listened to a Commute
address by Secretary Hoover, who, as
direct representative of the President,
told them, is effect, that the admins
tration held the seniority question of
minor Importance, in comparison with
that of upholding the railroad labor
board. The coal mining question, it
is said, is ready to be re-opened and
arbitrated.

300 OFFICERS AND ENLISTED
MEN IN CAMP At RIFLE RANGE
DOVER, MILFORD AND OTHER
DOWN STATE COMPANIES JOIN
Tented City Springs Up in the 21O
Acre Reservation South of New
Castle on Delaware River Front


Eight hundred officers and emil sted
men of 198th Artillery, Anti-Aircraft,
Delaware National Guard, a unit of
the Second Army Corps, with head
quarters at Governors Island encamp-
ed at Rifle Range near New Castle
Monday, prepared for two weeks of
strenuous training. Colonel Harry
W. Stark, U. S. A, is commanding
officer. Colonel George w. Sparks, in
whose honor the camp has been named
was a member of the personal staff
of several former Governors. He
was keenly interested in the military
affairs of the State. Adhering strict
ly to entraining orders, all units of
the two battalions were concentrated
on the Government reservation before
10 o'clock. Batteries A, B, C, and D
from Wilmington, arrived at the camp
first. Battery H, from New Castle,
arrived ten minutes later, while Mil
ford troops and Dover soldiers arrived
in time. The soldiers hiked from the
State Road to the camp, distance of
half mile. Within comparatively
short while the 210 acres of land front
ing the Delaware River took on mill
tary aspect. Tents were quickly erect
ed and mess kitchens established.
That no accident marred this prelimi-
nary work is attributed to the excel
lent supervision of the more seasoned
veterans. There is only a sprinkling
of "rookies" in the organization this
year. During Saturday and Monday
100 picked men, in command of Col
onel Weller f. Slower, Q. NJ. c., were
busy establishing camp. This advance
detail not only prepared for the recep-
ton of the soldiers but tents of the
State Administrate staff, headquarters
tents, and many mess kitchen tents
were erected. Not until Monday
night did the soldiers receive thei1
| first hot meal.

was sold to him Mr.. Jump found that
he was bidding for Mr.. Norris and
could not comply with the terms of
the sale by paying one-third of the
purchase money in cash. Mr.. Jump
then ordered the auctioneer to resell
the property. The hotel was put up

THRILLING RESCUE RESOBOTH
Woman and Two Men Carried BY
UndertOw Had a Close Call

Five hundred excited persons watch
ed the rescue about A o'clock Friday
afternoon of a woman and two men
who, but for help, would have drown
ed, at Rehoboth. 1t was the most ex-
citing rescue of the season and at
tracted much attention. Those res
cued were Miss Ann DuRoss, of Will
mington, Allen Drew, of Washington,
and John Shearer, of Baltimore.
Miss DuROss and Mr.. Drew were in
bathing when the former evidently got
caught in an undertow and was
carried out beyond her depth. Drew,
seeing that Miss DuRoss was in dan
ger, started tog to her aid when he
also got caught in the strong under
tow. The young woman managed to
keep afloat but was drifting out to sea
when Drew went under. Shearer, who
was bathing nearby, next started out
to help the two and he had the same
experience as Drew, getting caught in
the undertow. By this time Captain
Howard Lyle, of the Life Guards,
arrived and went after Drew, who
seemed to be in the worst condition
of the trio. When he got Drew ashore
the latter was unconscious and it was
some time before he was revived.
In the meantime, CORTLAND Barr, son
of John Barr, of Georgetown, went
to the rescue of Miss DuRoss and got
her ashore and Shearer was rescued
by his brother, Bowling Shearer.

HIGHWAY POSTPONED AWARD
SMYRNA BRIDGE CONTRACTS
HELD UP FROM OPENING BIDS
LAST WEDNESDAY UNTIL TODAY
State Highway Board Will Meet Again
This Afternoon to Consider Low
est Bid and Make an Award

At meeting of the State Highway
Commission last Wednesday bids were
opened for building the bridges on the
DUPONT Boulevard route thru Smyrna,
namely the bridge across the meadow
at Webb's Mill and across the meadow
at Duck Greek Mill. The lowest bid
der was the Baton Construction Com
pany of Philadelphia for $31, $40. The
bid was considerably under engineers
estimate and more than $4,000 under
the highest bidder. For this reason
the Highway Board withheld awarding
the contract to the Baton Construction
Company until their ability and re-
sponsibility could be looked in to. The
Highway Commission will meet again
at Dover this afternoon when they will
review the bids again and make the
award. The successful contractor is
to begin the work right away or as
soon as he can get his equipment to-
gether. The fills which were made
last fall and early this spring are hold
ing up very satisfactory. There has
been more settling in the Duck Creek
meadow than in the Smyrna meadow,
but in each case very slight. Should
they show permanent condition by
next spring, the State Highway Com
mission will award the contract for
laying a concrete road from Arm
strong's Corner to join up with the
Smyrna-Dover road at the Finger
Board" or the intersection of Leipsic
Road. This, with the laying of con-
crete over the Frederick causeway
which will also be completed next year
will give an unbroken stretch from
Odessa to Selbyville. The road from
Odessa to st. Georges will, in all prob
ability, be built next year and this,
with short stretch at State Road
will complete the dupont road from
here to Wilmington. The st Georges
TybOuts Corner stretch now under
construction will be completed this
year. The bids opened Wednesday

GAS CAR FOR SMYRNA BRANCH
Hinted That One of New Gasoline
Cars Tried Out By Pennsy Will
Come Here Within Short Time

The recent try-out of a new and
improved gasoline car by the Pennsy
r. r. officials and their apparent sue
cess under rigid tests, has given rise
to the report that one of them will be
put on Smyrna Branch to substitute
the present steamengine equipment.
Besides being more economical to run
it cuts the crew in half and lessons
expense. The Pennsylvania Railroad
is in the market for about twenty of
these gasoline cars that can be used
on its branch lines, especially those on
which the travel is comparatively
light. Recent demonstrations of
gasoline power cars were regarded as
satisfactory, but the motive power de-
partment wants something different, a
car with power enough to draw a
trailer when necessary. The motive
power department has made several
experiments with gosoline-driven cars.
One was rated as having sixty-eight
horsepower. On the branches it
reached speed of forty-three miles
an hour. There are two gasoline
driven cars in the service now, one on
the branch from Montandon to Miffln-
burg, a distance of ten miles. This
road is virtually level and the motor
is rated at forty-eight Horsepower.
There is another car on the line be-
tween Pemberton and Hightstown, N.
j. This road is owned by the Penn
sylvania, but is operated by the Union
Transportation Company. The gaso-
line-driven cars have proved satisfac
tory for these two roads, which have
comparatively no grades. 1t is un-
derstood the company contemplates
installing one of these gasoline cars
on the Bustleton branch, where sixty
passengers on an average are carried
during the summer months and seven
ty-five in winter. 1t would be neces-
sary to have two cars to handle this
traffic. The Cresheim branch is an
other part of the system where gasO-
line power cars could be used to adj
vantage. This line runs from the
Chestnut Hill division, at Aliens Lane
to Whitemarsh, where a connection is
made with the Trenton cutoff. There
is about 2 per cent grade on this
road. There are also little roads in
Delaware, such as the spur from Clay
ton to Smyrna, and on the Delaware
division. A car manufacturing COM
pany is now building a doubIe-unit
gasoline-driven car, and it is likely a
demonstration will be made on the
Pennsylvania before the car is turn
ed over to the Southern line for which
it is being built.
