ASSEMBLY IN
SESSION AGAIN
Meets in Special Session at
the Call of Governor C.
ID. Buck Tomorrow
DISCUSS PUBLIC WORKS

The Delaware Legislature as.
sembled in special session at Do.
yer to-day noon called at the in
stance of Governor c. Douglass
Buck to consider the taking ad-
vantage of Federal Funds for a
public works program in Della
ware for employment relief. A
bitter fight is predicted between
the Democratic controlled House
of Representatives and the Repub-
lican administration. At the Dem
ocratic caucus last night John
Biggs, Jr. Democratic State chair
man, explained the purpose of the
special session and outlined the
two plans proposed for borrowing
money to carry out the public
works program of the State. One
plan, he said, was for the State to
take advantage of the offer of the
Federal government under the
NRA and the other was for the
State, itself, to borrow the money
on its own credit. Mr.. Biggs did
not advocate either plan but left
the matter to the judgment of the
members of his party. The pre-
dicted fight will be over the man.
ner in which the money is obtain
ed. The Democrats, it was said
contend that if the State borrows
on its own credit, the money
would be in the control of the Re
publican administration and the
Democrats would benefit very lit
tie, if any, under thta plan. Some
Republicans feel that with the red
tape they would have to 60 thru
to borrow from the Federal Gov
eminent at 4 per cent, they could
borrow cheaper in the open mar
ket at 312 per cent and probably
3 and save the state interest
money. The Democrats say they
cannot afford to ignore or re-
pudiate the NRA because it is a
part of the National Democratic
program and if they refused to
abide by this program they would
be repudiating their own program.
Another fight that looms is the
length of time the special session
shall continue. Governor Buck
has made it plain that he would
like the business to be concluded
in two weeks and has intimated
that if the sessions are unduly
prolonged he would exercise his
constitutional right to dismiss the
Assembly. This, the Democrats
argued he could not do. The
House Democrats denied that they
could not prolong the session and
pointed out that if the Senate
adopted a resolution to adjourn
and sent it to the House it would
be referred to a committee where
i could be kept indefinitely. They
also declared that if a second sim
liar resolution was sent to the
House and that until the House
voted on it, one way or another,
the Governor could find no dis
and could not, there
fore dismiss the Assembly. The
on the other hand,
contend that if the Senate adopts
a resolution to adjourn and the
House fails to act and the Senate
adopts second one, and there is
no action by the House, it would
be sufficient evidence of dis
agreement and the Governor could
then exercise his constitutional
right and adjourn the legislature.
It was generally understood the
Governor has made up his mind
that the session shall not be un-
duly prolonged and that it shall
end in two or three weeks and if
at the end Of that time there is
no indication of the legislators
getting anywhere, he will adjourn
the session himself.

Finally, she was out of that

How long she tramped through

SUIT SETTLED
OUT OF COURT
Bristol Man and Wife Ask
ed $4,000 for Auto
Accident

Two civil actions asking a toal
of 100000 were settled out of the
superior court today. The plain
tiffs are Joseph Courville Of Bris-
toll, asking $4,000 damages and
his wife, Mrs Calmina Courville,
asking $4,000.
The suits were brought against
John Dunn Of New Haven. The
actions resulted from d bad auto
mobile collision on the, College
highway in front of the "Shag-
bark" gas station, Sept "a. 1893.
The plaintiffs, were guest passen-
gers in car owned and operated
by Ernest L. Berner. The machine
was proceeding in northerly d.
rection when it was struck by
Dunn's machine being driven in a
southerly direction, e.
Mr. Courville suffered deep la
ceration across his, calp, near the
hair line, from one side OF the head
to the other. In addition he sus-
tanned a fractured wrist and ,frac-
tured arm. Mrs Courville, who
with her husband were thrown
from the car when 1t overturned,
sustained fractured ribs and scalp
lacerations. necessitating her con-
f1nement at st Mary's hospital for

he outlined. The result was that
her father advanced Dick the
capital to make his start in New
York. What different story
theirs might have BEEN il she'd
succeeded in being transferred to
school nearer the metropolis!
But money. had been scarce, and
Dick, with a lovers vehemence,
declared he'd not subject her to
pinched living conditions. No,
they'd wait until his prospects
were brighter. And so they only
saw one another for brief, ecstatic
intervals-and months dragged on
into years Of waiting.
Upon her arrival in New York,
nerve-taut and fatigued, the i'm
pulse that had kept her from wir-
ing Dick now carried }her past
the telephone booths. Telephone
voices were SO very deceptive. Once
she'd grieved for a week over the
cool, businesslike tone Dick effect
ed over the phone. 1t would be
better anyway to surprise him be-
fore he could rehearse any
speeches. If his accounts of lonely
hours spent porting over briefs was
correct, she'd no doubt find him
at home. Never having called
on him before Che made q point of
meeting her to her hotel when she
did come to New York; she was
curious to see for herself how he
lived.
The impressive facade of the
apartment house amazed her. Such
comments in Dicks letters as:
Dearest, 1 would dream of ask
ing you to share the stuffy little
dumps where 1 camp" had pre-
pared her for much humber quar-
tiers. So many names on the row
of glittering buttons! At last her
heart pulsing like a wild bird in
her throat, she located Richard
Graham and pushed the bell. An
interminable wait before the latch
release responded with its furious
clicking and she could pass
through the ornately tiled foyer to
the automatic elevator.
Beads Of perspiration were glis-
tening on her forehead when the
bronze elevator door slid back re-
vealing a silver-walled hallway,
carpeted in black. Here she faced
but no name plates! Behind
which one of those discreet doors
was Dick waiting? AS she hesi-
tated, the middle door was flung
violently open and fair-haired
girl peered out at her. "You rang
my bell," she accused, and her
eyes, inf1amed with weeping, mar
rowed suspiciously. eff you're an
other Of Mr. Graham's clients-he
lives there" She indicated the door
to the left.
Something fiagrantly hostile in
the girls attitude shot a pang of
apprehension through Elenaor. She
did some quick thinking and was
inspired to lie, I'm sorry: 1t was
a Miss Lane I came to see."

Administrator Hugh S. johnson,

Johnson said, "the sooner we find

Earnest T. Weir. president of the

than any other single individual in
the steel code negotiations ac-
cording to johnson.
Another problem which con-
cerned Johnson was how to carry
on the Blue Eagle agreements after
their expiration date Dec 81. It
seemed probable that an admins
tration order would be issued de-
lining the terms under which a
blue eagle may be displayed. This
would have the effect of continuing
blue eagle wages and hours wher-
ever an employer wanted to con-
tinue displaying the emblem.
