ROOSEVELT To
HOLD FIRE IN
CAMP A|CN WAR
President to Begin Counter
Attack on Critics on
Western Trip.

BV HUfd Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will open his counter
attack on critics of the New Deal
when he proceeds to the Pacific
Coast next month and-contrary to
recent reports-not before. it was
learned today in sources close to the
White House.
Until he travels westward, Mr..
Roosevelt is expected to maintain
his policy of silence regarding polit-
ical developments. including the de-
mand of former President Hoover
that he make known what constitu-
tional changes he desires.
Some political experts had be-
Ieved that, in view of mounting
speculation on the 1886 campaign,
he would hit back next Saturday
night when he addresses the Young
Democratic Clubs of America over
a national radio hOok-up.
Youth to Be Topic
Instead. it was asserted, the Presi-
dent in his speech to the Milwaukee
meeting will emphasize advantages
that have accrued to the youth of
America through operation of GER
tain Administration policies, the re-
sponsibilitieS of youth in govern
ment and politics and perhaps give
a clew to further plans he might
have in mind for the rising genera
ton.
Meanwhile, Administration lieu
tenants and party leaders were
cheered by sanguine reports that to
them, at least, offset some of the
uneaSiness caused by the defeat of
a Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the recent Rhode Island
election.
Cliff Woodward, head of the
Young Democrats of America, in
formed the President that Iowa, his
home state, would go Democratic in
1886 by larger ma jority than in
1882. Gov. James M. Curley, also
a White House caller, expressed the
belief that Massachusetts would fall
in line in the next presidential cleo
ton.
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to be-
gin his Western swing about the
third week in September with
speeches at two or three strategic
points along the route.
Invades Huey's Territory
1t was believed he would deliver
the first address in Arkansas, home
territory of Senator Joe T. Robin
son, majority leader, that has on
occasion been invaded by Senator
Huey P. Long of Louisiana.
From there it was reported he
would proceed to Uvalde, Tex, for
a brief visit at the home of Vice
President John N. Garner. The next
important step probably will be
Boulder Dam. now in the last stages
of completion
Proceeding from Boulder Dam
the tentative schedule calls for a
visit to the san Diego Exposition
and side trips through the national
parks IN California.
No decision has yet been made as
to whether Mr.. Roosevelt will board
a fast warship at a California port
and head for home via the Panama
Canal. Before going Westward plans
are for the President to go to Hyde
Park for about a three weeks stay
at the summer White House.

GREEN GETS DRAFT
OF PACTS ON CRIME
recommendation of Interstate Com.
mission to Be Sent to Legislature

Attorney General P. Warren
Green has received the first drafts
of the state compacts drawn by the
Interstate Commission on Crime
with a view to removing state-line
barriers that at present retard po-
lice in pursuit of criminals.
Mr.. Green, a member of the COM
mission, is making an intensive study
of the drafts for the purpose of pre-
senting legislation at the 1887 meet
ing of the General Assembly to carry
out Delaware's. part in the inter-
state fight on crime.
simultaneously, similar legislation
will be presented in every State in
the union, with the hope that with
in three years at the utmost, local
law enforcement bodies will have
broader jurisdiction and greater
interstate cooperation.
Adoption of such legislation grant
ing police greater pursuit powers
over State lines, more power to COM
mand attendance in court of wit
necces from other States, and uni
form extradition powers, would be
highly beneficial in Delaware, Mr..
Green said.

GERS of the new Delaware Steeple-
chase and Race Association, Inc,
and decision of the association to
Immediately acquire 45G acres of the
Cunningham and Samluk farms,
southwest of Stanton, bring a Della
ware race track one step nearer
realization.
At the general meeting in the Of
fees of William DUPONT, Jr., of those
interested IN the formation of the
company, incorporated under the
laws of, Delaware to promote the
breeding of thoroughbred horses and
establishment of race track in this

toned about the future, said the

promote thoroughbred horse breed
ing ana to take over the portions OF
the farms of Cunningham and Sam
lux. Negotiations for the purchase
of the property, for which options

taken Immediately following the or
ganization meeting.
Hope For Public Interest
The site is considered suitable in
all respects for steeplechase and
track racing, should sufficient inter-
est be taken by the residents of the
State to warrant the erection of an
for that purpose.
Should the interest in the racing
project prove insufficient. the new
will own portions of
two good farms which may be re-
sold in the future, which may be us
cd for industrial purposes or would
make an excellent aviation field.
There is a level straight-away of
about a mile across the property to
he purchased which the promoters
believe would make an excellent
airplane runway.
The p. r. r. and B. & o. r. r.
are on each side of the property.
Officers Of the association hope
sufficient interest will be displayed
IN the project that it will be possi-
BILE to promote the erection of
nodernly equipped establishment
or track running races and also for

TO REDUCE RATES
$4,000 Savings To Gus
toners Served By Inter-
connected System.
GOESIN EFFECT SOON
Rate Reduction Reaffirms
COmpany's Faith In
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula.
GOESIN EFFECT SOON

New electric rate schedules, ap-
Flying principally to domestic and
commercial consumers and result
ing in estimated savings of approx
imately $ll5,000 a year to customers
affected in Delaware and Maryland,
were announced on Monday by F.
w. c. Webb, chairman of the board
of the Eastern Shore Public Service
Company. The rates will become e.
feetive for all consumption after
J0nuary meter readings and will be
reflected first in the February bills.
This is the fourth rate reduction
made by the company in recent
years and follows closely upon that
which became effective on June l,
1884.
Changes Brought About BY New
Rates
In addition to the savings which
the new rates will mean for each
domestic and commercial customer,
the most pronounced changes which
they will bring about are: CD the
adoption of q straight block rate for
domestic consumers regardless of
the number of rooms in a custom
er's dwelling and the discontinuance,
except in d few instances. of the
TOom-rating method of determining
the number of kilowatt hours in the
block; (2) the limitation of the
number OF kilowatt hours in the
first block of the rate for CONNER
cial establishments; and (3) the
elimination of all seasonal lighting
schedules and all optional sched-
ules for domestic lighting, refriger-
alton aud cooking.
The More Electricity Used The
Lower The Unit Cost
The idea behind the new rate
Is not only to offer a saw
ing to customers, but to encourage
a greater use Of their electric SER
vice. The new domestic service
for instance, will begin
V ith a monthly charge of $1.20 for
which the customer will be entitled
to use IL kilOwatt hours per month.
The next block of % kilowatt hours
per month will be at SC per kilo-
watt hour, the next block of 35 at
Sc and the next block of 130 at Sc
Ind all over 200 at &c. The new
schedule for commercial establish
nents will be 1c lower per kilowatt
hOur in the first block.
New Rates Possible Because OF
Better Business Conditions

Mr.. Webb pointed out that these
rate reductions benefiting thousands
# customers have been made pos
,ibie because of the definite inn
