ufacturors, , of Wllmlnatdn. for - a dl
rorce from his wife. Madeline du Pont
Bancroft, and the counter suit -of the
wife for divorce will come up for trial
in the superior court here this month.
When tho young husband filed suit
against his wife last summer. It create
the greatest stir, that has occurred in
Delaware in years,, Mrs. Bancroft,: who
is only Si .years eld,. Js , a . member of
tne an font ramiiy, the millionaire
powder manufacturers. "r- , -
In his suit the husband -named Max
Helbler of Munich, a friend of the cou
ple; as corespondent. Jle called the In
fant son of his wife, horn last April.
Max , Holbler, Jr. He' also - nuide the
child, which Was born '. here, a co-de
fendant) with the mother. He denied
the paternity of the infant. . ,
Subsequently the wife began counter
suit for; dlrorce on tha same general
grounds. ; she also alleges .extreme
cruelty.- Tho city of Munich figures
in the action, for. the reason" that the
couple lived abroad for three years
following their" elopement from Wil
mington In 1907. They were married
at Washington, D. C, the bridegroom
ot Dei n g quite or age. lie was a otu
dent at Princeton, The youthful cou
pie were sent abroad In order that the
husband could complete his studies at
Heidelberg university.
' The double action will - bs heard . In

iture of money In the Stephenson cam--r
palgn, charges of corrupt practices to
an extent to affect the result" have not
t been proven. The privileges and elec
,'tiens committee is expectod to iustaiu
the subcommittee.
Much, Interest will attach to the re
port which Senator Pomerene of Ohio,
. who Js on the subcommltte, will make
on the etephe..con case. It Is thoueht

though he will probably not take the

.- Others Bay Bsen "Cavlsli,1
; Some members of the senate hold that
, the mere fact that Senator Stephenson
admlttedly spent J107.000. to seecura his
" election, ought to cause his exclusion
from tha senate. But the prevailing
senate view is not this. One reason is
- that other senators, too, have paid lav-
V fahliK tk.l. .
'As to the outcome Of the Lorlmer
; case, the antl-Lorimer sentiment in the
senate appears to be stronger than It
; wss In the last session of the sixty-
first- congress. -! "It is true that the
- partisans of Lorlmer are making strong

, r vuumif uiu ro jjroicBHing . me utmost
, optimism as to tle outcorne. But the
J. Situation doe not warrant their alleged
. optimism, t Senator Lorlmer wtll go on
the stand after the holidays and will
make a statement, that Is ..expected to be
f sensational. That It -IU. however,
r change any votes in the senate 'Is mitch
to be doubted. - ' :
borlmer Committee Special Body..
The committee which la Investigat
tng the Lorlmer case is not a suhconv
mlttee of the privileges and election!
committee,, as Is the committee which
probed the Stephenson election. ' The
Lorlmer committee is a speolal commit
tee of the senate, composed of eight
members. Senators Dillingham, Gamble,
Joses and Kenyon, Republicans, and)
Johnston, Fletcher, Kern and Lea, Demo
crats. Just what sort of a report will
he made from this committee, is. the
subject of much speculation about the
capltol now. .
If the committee should unite in a
report that Lorlmer should be ousted
that' would" be the end of the senator
irom Illinois, rue senate -woina : sus
tain the committee. But the commit
tee Is not expected to be united. - One
.-f8rlSJrBt.BrhaJ.1tjrinBTnt)Br(
.voted to allow. Lorlmer to keep his seat
on the first Investigation. They are
Dillingham, Gamble, Fletcher and John
ston. It is a question whether any of
the four will shift and thus admit that
Lorlmer should be ousted. The sena
tors who are generally rated as certainly
antl-Lorimer are Kern, Kenyon and Lea.
' Attitude of Jones Seen.
Senator - Jones .of .Washington voted
to -unseat Lorlmer last winter. What
position he will, take this time Is not
known, though it Is assumed that in
view of the! additional evidence that has
been drawn out,' tending to show there
was corruption In connection with the
election of Lorlmv, he will be opposed
to his retention hrrthe senate.
If Jones does not shift his position,
the committee apparently 'will be four
to four for and against Lorlmer.' One
possibility that the majority report will
be antt-Lorlmer rests with Senator Gam
bis, of South Dakota. Senator Gamble
last . winter voted to sustain Lorlmer.
For this, he was bitterly crltlolsed In
South Dakota. Some talk is heard that
he will take a, stand against Lorlmer
this session and for this reason there is
special Interest in his attitude.
It is recognized that It would be much
to the advantage of the Lorlmer forces
If they couM get a majority report in
their favor from the" committee. This
would give some senator's who fear to
Vote for Lorlmer on account of public
sentiment a chance to do so and point
to the majority report of the committee
in justification.

That favorite remarkj "Your trolley's
off," promises to lose whatever force
It ever had with the patenting of a
trolley releaser, the invention of H. J.
Dryden, an electrical engineer of St.
Johns. The releaser is being consid
ered by the Cincinnati Traction Oom
pany the Cincinnati, Dayton & Hamil
ton, the St Louis Cat Company and the
Pacific Electric company of Los An
geles, - All of these companies have ex
amined the device and written Mr. try-
den favorably concerning it. 'Its adop-
i tlon by them is said to be, practically
certain. -' t' .
The greatest dangerfrem wtlr-roI-leys
is the lessening 'of the guy wires
which hold the trolley wires, frequently
causing breaks in the latter, with dan
ger to life and property.; While Mr.
Dryden's Invention ' does not prevent
trolleys from leaving the. wires this
being Impossible in city traffic where
switching is necessary it draw the I
trolley, pole down to the roof of the
car the instant It slips off the wire.
The pole is held in this horizontal posi
tion until released by compressed air or
by ropes, if preferred.
Under the present system, . when a
trolley slips off the wire, the springs
; throw the pole to a vertical position,
and as long as the oar continues In' mo
' tlon, . the heavy pole . bounces against
the intercepting guy wires. Breaks-are
frequent. According to Mr. Dryden the
total expenditures for this cause alone
during last year -reached $900,000 in the
United States. The Dryden releaser
consists of a t lever device attached to
the regular equipment of a trolley, at a
cost or 17.011 per car,: with a pivot base
and beam and springs designed to pull
the pole to a horizons! position the in
stant it leaves the wire.: To replace
tne trolley pole, the. conductor presses
a .button releasing the air and forcing
me .trouey up to tne wire again.
. in connection with the device la an
electrlo system whereby ' in double-unit
trains if the trolley on the. rear car
leaves the wire a red signal Is flashed
j to the motorman. The warning is ln-
