I I I I I I I THE EVENING JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6. 1918. WILL SEEK OPEN DOOR FOR BILLS AT LEGISLATURE Continued from First Page. will ratify the prohibition amendment unless there is a change in the I of the State Senate from that of the session a year ago. At that time the controlled both Senate and House.

As there is a vacancy in the House and the Governor has called no has been raised as to whether or not special election to All it. la question the vacancy should be filled to make the extra session constitutional. It is understood the has received not legal mandatory opinions to that the the effect vacancy that it exist- is ing in the House from the Blackbird hundred district be filled. There was some talk legal question as to the constitutionality of the Legislature's be raised in the courts if the special session is held without an election being called to fill the vacancy. the In death addition of to the vacancy Collins, caused by of Representative Blackbird, there is a question, it was said today, about membership status of some State Senators.

State Senator Charles M. Wharton, of Dover, is now a medical officer and recreational director at the Naval Base at Norfolk, and a question has been raised as to whether or not that constitutes a Federal office that might disqualify him from membership in the Senate. Senator Thomas F. Gormley, of this city, recently was appointed an assistant Federal Income tax collector and some persons have raised a question whether or not that would disqualify him from Senate membership. Senator Gormley laughs however, and asserts that he did not accept the Federal appointment, and points out that he has been with the duPont Company since January 1.

Some persons started a report, that Senator Thomas S. Webb, of Christiana hundred, had moved over into Pennsylvania. This report is unfounded. however, as Senator Webb still has his residence near Centreville. There was a rumor that a State-wide prohibition bill might be proposed in the Legislature, but if such a measure is introduced it would not have much chance of being passed, it was claimed today, as many members are not in favor of such legislation at this time, since Wilmington and rural New Castle county only recently voted on the "wet" and "dry" issue.

Amons, the have subjects acted on that in the members special session will be an amendment to the income law to remove the exemption of a agricultural projects from taxes and a Wilmington paid fire department bill. Representative McNabb will offer the income tax amendment and Representative Counelly the fire department bill. There likely will be a clash at the opening of the session as to whether the legislation to be acted on shall be confined to the three subjects specified by Governor Townsend or whether the doors shall be opened wide to all legislation, as the Legislature should deem a resolution will be offered to limit business to the three subjects specified by the Governor. Under the Constitution, the legislators are limited to thirty days' pay for a special session. special session could continue as long as Legislature should deem fit, but the members, could not draw pay for more thirty days.

The present officers of Senate and House will serve as officers of those branches in a special session. TRACTION CO.

A WANT STATE FAIR TO HAVE MODERN PLANT Need $100,000 for Up-todate Buildings On New Site Near Wilmington WILL OFFER STOCK TO RESIDENTS OF STATE Directors of the State Fair Association held a meeting to discuss the future of the State Fair, and they will meet again on Friday when, it is expected, there will be some definite decision as to the fair project. As is known. the duPont Powder Company has taken over Wawaset Park, where the State Fairs have been held for several years, thus eliminating this place as a site for such exhibitions in the future. The association has an option on a site between Elsmere and Brack-Ex, along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and if it is decided to go ahead the new fair grounds will be established there in all probability.

The site under consideration is regarded as excellent for the purposes because of its proximity to the railroad with its side track facilities, the trolley car service 50 close to what would be the main fair grounds, and the good roads leading to the place. main question will reThe financial problem, is now the volve the future of the fair.

They also want to lay out a half-mile trotting track which will be the equal of any similar track the country.

They believe that by having modern, sanitary stables and livestock buildings would be able to attract to their exhibits the highest grades of cattle and horses from all parts of the United States. To carry out their ideas relative to the establishment of a modern and thoroughly up-to-date Fair grounds, it will be necessary to secure 8100,000 in addition to the present resources of the Fair Association. The residents of this deity and of the entire State will be given opportunity to with the Fair Association in securing this money and in making possible the continuation of the Delaware State Fair, which has a reputation throughout this section of the Stock will at 85 a share, countered and it will be non-assessable. If the amount should be subscribed, it will enable the directors to accomplish all they want to do, and ft will leave a reserve fund to be used to meet any situation that might result from unfavorable weather conditions. MEN 'GASSED' AT CARNEY'S POINT: ONE.

LOSES LIFE Continued from First Page. men emptying sulphuric acid from a pipe leading to a container used in the manufacture of phosgene released the fumes, which spread through the building and in its vicinity. These fumes affected the men before they were aware of their danger. Phosgene gas is used in the manufacof one of the ingredients of smokeJess powder, and also is used as an asphyxiating gas on the European battlefronts, in combination with other chemicals. The duPont Company is not manufacturing the gas for war purposes.

It was being used yesterday for purely commercial purposes. The gas is heavy and colorless. Atmospheric conditions yesterday kept it close to the ground and it swept the building, affecting men more seriously on the outside than those within, who are accustomed to it. As soon as the trouble was realized every worker who showed any signs of suffering was given prompt treatment at the plant hospital. At that time none of them had developed serious symptoms.

Later, however, bronchial congestion caused by the fumes became pronounced in a number of cases and the plant officials promptly began a roundup of every man known to have been anywhere near the building. Most of them were slightly affected that they were dismissed after treatment The man who died had not realized that he was the victim of the fumes and he did not report to the hospital but went to his home in Pennsgrove, where, during the night, the congestion developed which caused his death. According to news reports from the French front, the American soldiers gassed" there several days ago by the Germans were victims of phosgene gas. MR. POOLE AFFLICTED.

Some seem to think Jim should not be there, Because a Methodist: Well while I'm one still love fun, So count me on the list.

IRISH HOME RULER, IS DEAD (Continued From First Page.) nounced that he was suffering from malignant cancer. He had been the Irish Nationalist leader in the House of Commons since shortly after his election to Parliament in the '80's.

He was the principal factor in the home rule movement. Redmond. was a forceful orator of the Rooseveltian type. It was his prograin to antagonize every British government, hopng to force Irish home rule through methods approximating "insurgency." When the war government failed to pass the home rule bill, Redmond was popularly believed to have suffered a broken heart. Yet he refused to join Sinn Fein movement and was intensely patriotic, almost imperialistic in his loyalty to the war government.

As a result, his popularity in Ireland waned, and recently there had been a movement in nis home district to succeed him in Parliament. Redmond did not want absolute independence for Ireland. He desired government for that country similar to that of the Dominion of Canada. Redmond was born in 1851, the son of W. A Redmond, member of Parliament from Balltrent.

He was first elected to Parliament from Newross in 1881. In 1885 he was elected from New Wexford. and in 1891 from Waterford. He had visited America several times, generally for the purpose of raising funds to push the home rule movement. His son, William Archer Redmond, was elected to Parliament from East Tyrone in 1911.
