fnll'sv At his omco it wn stated that
'of conrse Mr. Tlnchot will oppose the
Vara bill."
The bill was referred to the Judiciary
welal committee of the Senate, of which
Bwator William 0. MeConncll. North
nmbcrland. is chairman. Senator Mc
Connell ofTercd a similar bill last ses
sion, which was buried. Such Win In
other sessions also have been killed.
Condition, however, accentuate In
terest in tho reputed plan to use the
upper Delaware for wntcrpowcr pur
poses. This project is described as fol
lows: Plans to harness wntcre of tho Dela
ware river, with a g'ent central plant
at Belvldcrc. N. J., and twelve supple
mentary powerhouses at such points as
Bashklil and DinRman'a Ferry, In Pike
countvj Hanklns, Nnrrowsburc. Barry -villeMonBOup
and East Brunch, N.
I., to supply the vnrious public utili
ties of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania with hydro-olcctrfc
power. Tho project had been developed
to a point where only final action by
the Federal Watcrpowcr Commission is
needed to have actual work started.
Paul T. Brady, one of the leading
fiiuiM in the Westinghousc Co., is said
to be the prime mover in tho propor
tion. Further, it is satd that almost
$1,000,000 has been spent so far In
acquiring sites, making surveys, plnntt
and drawing contracts. It !s nNo an
lertcd thnt approximately $10,000,000
will be pent n the next ten jcars.
Continuing the descr'ption of the
project, n review ct forth tho fol.ow-
"The centrnl plant will bo designed
to generate 300,000 horsepower, though
ot tirvt only half of that power will be
available. The Public Service Corpora
tion of New Jersey has indicated its
wil inness to purchase from the Dela
ware ir plant whrn "t is in operation
a great percentage of the power It
cecils,"

Norrls Smith, tho guard, said today:
"A few minutes before 2 o'clock the
sky was suddenly lighted brightly, and
I turned quickly and gazed seaward, but
it was not repeated. Somo seconds
elapsed, and then came the rumble of the
explosion, deep and long. From the time
elapsed between tho ilah und tho rum

some mllci off the coast. I nm inclined
to connect it with the blowing up of a

Tho guard at rft..tion No. 120 at Little

noted tho ilnshaud report.
Itcports of the incident were made

"We have eeon no evidence of a

HAS EYE ON BUREAU POST
By a Rtnff Corre'pendfnt
Harrfsmirr. Feb. 2. Big "Tom''
Cunningham's hlf secret Is ont. Tt wa
'earned toilnv that one of the reasons
for his zealous attendance on the ses
sions of tho state Legislature Is a desire
to land more Jobs for Phlladelphiana
in the plan of tho leaders to build op
,the Job combine.
For one thing they are after the va
cancy caused by the recent death of
Tames Sweeney, chief of tho bureau of
standards In the office of the secretary
of Internal affairs. They nr alio hope
ful that the Governor will approve of
n contingent fund of about S30.000 to
bo used for the employment of extra !
item in tno two cnambcrs.
Tho Phlladelphlans fuel that they did
not get a square deal when the commit
tee assignments and legislative patron
age were handed out. Hence Cunning
ham, Varc leaders and others in the new
.--..
?om,bInoJ'ron?e stage i strong come-
uul;l'. luc ouice oi mc cniui oi ourenu
of standards and a comfortable slice of
tno contingent ftinrl would alleviate the
hituation materially. There Is a fear,
however, that Governor Sproul's econ
omy program will stand In the way of
the usual contingent fund.
One of the reports is that Cunning
ham and the Vnro leaders aro working to

sor to Sweeney, Mayor is now chief

in tho office of tho county commission
crs. Mayer hns been active hero lately.
It is believed that an effort in being
made to nlaco either Mayer or one of
his friends In tho vacant post.
Cunningham, In chats with friends,
showed a lively Interest In the recent
reports as to District Attorney Ilotan.
Cunningham does not believe Hint Itotun
would consider being a cnndldato foi
Oovcrnor. It was exp nlncd thnt when
tho last mayoralty was under consid
eration by tha Penrose lenders, It was
proposed to tho district attorney that ho
bo tho candidate for Mayor a'alnst
Judge, Patterson. Mr, Ilotan refused,
It was added. According to those who
have ta'ked with Cunningham, the lat
ter believes that Mr. Itotnn would
nther be district attorney than any-
hing olse.
Leaders In tho new combine do no'
'hlnk that Harry A. Mnekcy has a
chance to be tho harmony candidate for
district nttorney this year. Close friend
of Senator Vare frankly wild that if
the "bit? fellow wants Uoton to be con
tinued there is no hope of any one else
rutting him out." By the big fo low,
of course, in meant Senator Penrose,
