IK FACTIONAL FIGHT FIGHT WAS VICTORIOUS The Levy Court met in ad)ourned w-h-on this morning, for the purjiope of considering the proj)osals for the tiM-pension bridge across the Brandywine at West street, received yesterday. A communication from Joseph L. Carpenter, giving his reasons for objecting to the construction was read and referred to the committee of the whole. Benjamin F. Shaw, who was present as a representative of residents in the territory north of the Brandywine, after hearing Mr.

Carpenter's letter, said that he agreed on reflection, with every statement made, and Iwlicvcd that this would lie the sentiment of the pnpn generally. Mr. Cnrjenter's letter follows: Wilmington, Sept. 14, 1920. To th Honorable Levy Court of New Catlc County: Gentlemen: I desire to state my objection, to the building of the foot bridge across the Brandywine at the foot of West street.

In the first place, it will 1h a useless and extravagant expenditure of money for the results obtained by its construction. 1 had occasion yesterday to look fully into what convenience it might Ik? to the jH-ople on the north side, and I find after careful inspection of the surroundings that persons desirine to cross said foot bridge if constructed, all live north of Eighteenth street for a person at Eighteenth and Washington or a person at Eighteenth and Boulevard, or Eighteenth and Monroe, i practically as near Market street bridge and Van Buren street they would be to the temporary bridge at the foot of Vet street, the approaches to which are more accessible, and over and paths which are perfectly safe for pedestrians. To get to the temporary bridge, as contemplated, it will lo necessary to pass down West street from Eighteenth, a steep grade, cross the road which is very much used by the construction of the new Washington street bridge; cross the Augustine branch of the railroad at grade, which is constantly used by shift ipr engines; cross the race on the nort side, over a pit-form and steps 65 feet long, lief ore they can get to the hridir proper.

After a spirits! fight and a move on the part of the Wilmington delegates to bolt, the Democratic State convention, here, yesterday afternoon, finally yielded to the appeal of New Castle county for increased representation in conventions hereafter. For a time it looked like a breach that might split the party for years. Kent and Sussex voted almost solidly against this proposition while new Castle was unanimous for it.

IS. Republican and Democratic candidates for United States Senator, Representatives and governor and nearly 90 other State officers, were voted on by men and women in Illinois today. The bitter campaign which d-Velofrfvl Vet ween two factions in the Republican party was expected to result in the largest vote in the State's history. The Itepuhliran factional ght entered around the ticket headed by Len Smsll of Kankakee and supported bv Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago, to which was opposed that headed by John G. Oglcsby, lieutenant-governor, supported by Governor Frank O.

Iowden. Th announcement by Sheriff Charlea W. Peters of Ojok county of the appointment of more than 1 ,000 deputies for duty at the polls, drew charges from the Thompson faction of attrrnoted intimidation, and instructionB to the police to arrest any deput iej found violating city ordinance or election regulations. Sheriff Peters warned that iaterferene with the deputies "might lead to bloodshed." Seeking the Democrat ic nomination for governor is James Hamilton Icwis, former senator, opposed by Barratt O'Hara former lieutenant-governor, both from Chicago. The Democratic Senatorial race lay between Emmet Burke of Chicago and Peter A.

Walter of Kewanee. Among: liepublican members of Congress seeking renominating was "Uncle Joe" Cannon of Danville, S4 years old, veteran of 22 Congresses. His opponent was E. B. Coolley, also of Danville.

POLISH-LITHUANIAN HOSTILITIES RESUMED siderable travel going down West street. At the mruest of the New Castle Board of Education and the State Board of Education, the Delaware School Auxiliary Association met yesterday at its office in the Public Library Building, and agreed to provide a onerom fwirtnble school for Marshallton, one for Oak Hill, on for Middlelown, and two for Richard Park. At the request of the Milford Special District Board and the Stat IVonrd of Education, three portable buildings are to Ite placed on the grounds of the Milford white school.

After a conference with the Sussex lkrd the Delaware School Auxiliary Association is making arrangements to build consolidated school at MiUvUle and Ocean View.

The association voted $200,001 to supplement the f.Vi.OOO bond issue, recently voted for by the laurel Special District, so that Laurrl may have ideal district. The association voted to place fire extinguishers in all schools in which there is more than one floor, and where the Pre danger is apparent, in the three counties outside of Wilmington.

In order to test out the value of teaching bv granhaphone. 33 grafonolas are being placed in rural schools with all the records necessary for this new methed of teaching. The associat ion is also providing books on safety for the prevention cf re. street and general accidents for the high schools of the counties and also for the Wilmington public schools. It has als arranged that Miss Rich shall lx released from her duties at the Women's College to work among the girls of the high Schools of the State with a view to securing teachers for the training course at Delaware College.

The. new building of the Tower Hill School, at West Seventeenth street and Tower Road, will lie open for inspection by tlx patrons and friends of the institution tomorrow afternoon from 3 until 6 o'clock. The building of this school, which has awakened such public interest here, is now practically with the exception of wrao interior work that it will not take Ions: to complete and some finishing work to. bo done on the grounds outside. Visitors will find the school biuldirg itself an example of the most modern thought, in design and facilities; its physical equipment is thoroughly eom-prchenwvo and its arrangement provides in every respect for the health, comfort and safety of the children.

In the first plae, the school is panic- Kjof and fireproof in the sense that no rra can com? to the students as a result of any accident of this kind. The hole school can probably be emptied in two or three minutes. The doors, giving exit from the building, are equipped with panic bolts and it is 'impossible for them to become wedged. The halls are broad, the classrooms have two doors each, and at least one of the exits, such as the large doors in the kindergarten, open directly to a playground, so that the little ones merely haveto step down and they are out of the building. Even such a common fire hazard as waste paper is taken care of in a very effective manner.

There is a galvanized iron chute set in concrete into which the janitors empty paper from each floor down into a fireproof closet in the basement.

COOK. pven what it asked for. hue he out not swing all of the downstaters, diplomatic handling on the part of Chairman Gray restored harmony, the chairman inducing the Wilmington delegation to return and he and Mr.

Soper, with the aid of Andrew J. Lynch, inducing enough Kent and Sussex delegates to change their votes so as to give New Castle the mcreased representation asked for. Under this proposition Wilmington will nave 30 delegates, as against 15 at present, and rural New Castle 60, the same as Kent and Sussex, which will give New Castle, as a hole, 90 and Kent and Sussex 60 each. The trouble started after Francis dell. Janvier of New Castle had presented a report of the New Castle county caucus, asking for increased representation in state conventions, on the basis of six for each Representative district, which would make 30 for Wilmington, instead of the present 15, and 60 for rural New Castle, instead of 50.

Joseph S. Armstrong of Sussex county made a motion that the motion to adopt it be laid on the table for two vears. Citv Chairman Timothy J. Mooney argued" for the increase. He pointed out where Wilmington has 44 per cent of the votes and per cent of the delegates, which he did not consider democracy.

He insisted on immediate action, as did also James H. Kane. Armstrong's notion appeared to be defeated on a viva voce vote, but a division was called for and the roll was ordered called. Mr. Handy, before tne vote was taken, suggested "that, in the interest of harmony, the convention increase Wilmington's delegation, as asked for, but allow rural New Castle to remain as at present.

This met with vigorous protest from New Castle county. All the while most of the Wilmington delegates insisted on going out, Chairman Gray was calling the Wilmington delegates back. "Come back, boys," he said, "there's another day to settle this matter." Continued on page paign. Uut nmtner pyrotejcnr.ies nor morey can win this It will be. decided outside; of Mair.e.

In the 1916 September elction the Republicans earned Main, and vet in Novwnbex, President Wilson carriad thirty States and divided the electoral vote ia West Vir-gma." In the course of his addresses yesterday the Governor asserted that a fund of from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 was being raised to beat him. He made the statement in replying to a "heckler" at Nampa, where a stop was made just before Boise City was reached. "If you are elected President," shouted the "how do you expect to restore business when SO per cent of the wealth of the country is held by 2 per cent, of the people." "I tell you how," replied Cox. "If SO per cent of the peoole will forget politics and help me lick the 2 per cent. that is raising a fund of from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 to beat me, we will make the Government an agency of 100 per cent, of the people and not of 2 per cent, of the people." This is the first time Governor Cox has mentined a sum over as the amount the Republics Party is swking to raise.

Entering the Progressive strorghoid of Idaiw, the Governor told the voters thev should repudiate the leadership of "Senator illiam E.

Furthermore, it will require a watchman on each end of this temporary bridge; it will also require considerable lighting, as the approaches on both sides are ouit isolated and dangerous unless properly protected. You will therefore see that the points I raise are correctly stated, and upon inspection of the conditions you will no doubt arrive at the same conclusion I have: That the bridge is unnecessary and a waste of public money, unwarranted by the benefits obtained from its construction.

I therefore hope, after you fully consider the matter, you will decline to award the contract for the construction of the bridge. Yours very truly, (Signed) Jos. L. Carpenter, Jr. P.

There is also more or less danger from the blasting of rocks, and the construction work of the new Washington street bridge so close at hand. J. L.

She Had Been 111, but Death Resulted From the Effects of a Shock. Washington, Sept. 15. Attorney General Palmer refused twice yesterday to grant a general amnesty to political prisoners. The first delegation which visited Mr.

Palmer with a plea for a general proclamation of this character was headed by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. The other delegation was composed of representatives of the Socialist party. To both groups Mr. Palmer gave the same answer that a general proclamation would lead only to confusion, and that even were it issued, each case woxdd have to be reviewed separately to ascertain if the individual came within the powers of the document. This course, said Mr.

Palmer, is being followed today, inasmuch as the Department of Justice is examining each case of those imprisoned as a result of conviction under the wartime acts. There are now only 171 prisoners of this character in Federal prisons, luhsaid, and of these the sentences of 15 will expire within the next months. Already ISO have leen released through commutation of sentence or other action. The cases of eleven prisoners are now on Mr. Palmer's desk for review.

While Willis Fulton, 10 years old, of 1333 French street, was walking along East Fourteenth street at 9 o'clock this morning he was knocked'down and badly bitten in the right leg by a large collie "tramp" dog. The boy went to his home unaided, where his screams greatly frightened his mother, Mrs.

W. Fulton. Patrolman Edward Black iston, who had come to the scene, called an ambulance, and the boy was taken to the Delaware Hospital. It was found that a large piece of flesh had been torn away, reaching as deep as the muscles of the leg. The dog had been making its home with a colored family named Ross, living at 1412 French street.

When the attack on Willis occurred, Louis Ross, 11 years old, was taking the dog with him on a trip for ice. He was drawing a small wagon with one hand, and holding the dog by its collar with the other. According to Louis' father, W. J. Ross, the dog escaped from the boy's grasp when the wagon overturned, and then attacked the Fulton boy.

At the hospital it was said that Willis is not in immediate danger. It has not yet been learned whether the dog was mad.
