HOPE TO REACH
| UNDERSTANDING
Powder Trust Suit Against
Chemical Company May Be
Settled Out of Court
PEACE NOW IN SIGHT
Compromise Suggested That
viii Give DuPOntS Two
Directors on the Board

Counsel for both sides in the case of
E. L Dupont de Nemours Powder
Company VS.. Peyton Chemical Com
pany are said practically TO have
reached an understanding with relation
TO some of the issues involved in the
litigation
According to statements made by the
representatives of the DuPonts the
counsel for the Peyton Chemical
Company have agreed that the trans
fer books Of that company would be
opened so that the DuPonts could
qualify their candidates for directors,
and with that understanding Judge
States Circuit Judge Morrow has con-
tinued the case for one week. 1t was
stated around the courtroom that if
the Peyton Chemical Company would
agree TO give the DuPonts two out of
five directors there would be no fur
ther effort made TO have an election
held by the court. In the meanwhile
the suit for the cancellation of the
amendment 10 the bylaws VIII pro-
ceed.
There is also an action pending be-
fore Judge Seawell for an inspection
OF the books.
An act was passed by the last Legis-
lature providing that an appeal from
g judgment ordering a corporation to
exhibit its books shall not stay the
order. and should Judge SeaweIl direct
the PeytOn Chemical Company to open
its books the effect of his order could
not be delayed by an appeal.
Heavy damages are asked by the
DuPonts in this suit on the ground of
alleged willful and fraudulent conduct
on the part of Peyton and the other
directors.
In the United States Circuit Court
+. s. Pillsbury. Pillsbury, Madison &
Sutro, and Garret McEnerney. counsel
Tor the DUPONT Company, have filed
complaint asking that the court ap-
point special master to conduct the
stockholders election OF the Peyton
Chemical Company. which is now set
for April Is, and which was originally
set for February is.
A few days before the date set for
the election an injunction was issued
by Judge Morrow restraining the cleo
ton. il being alleged that the
directors had changed the by
laws Of the Peyton Chemical Com
pany on January To- so that a stock
holder must have 100 shares in his own
name in order TO be eligible as a direc-
tor This was done. as is claimed by the
DuPonts, for the purpose of preventing
r. :. Penniman, Frank Turner or Os-
car Sutro from being elected directors
OF the PeytOn Chemical Company. they
being stockholders for less than 100
shares on the books of the company.
II was also ascertained that after
the bylaws were changed the minute
book was sent out of the State for the
purpose. il is alleged, of concealing the
change from the DuPonts.
The DuPonts claim TO have enough
stock in the Peyton Chemical Company
10 elect two out Of Eve directors. and
they have asked Judge Morrow to, set
aside the amendment in the bylaws as
being fraudulent and made for the sole
purpose Of depriving them Of represen-
tation in the PeytOn Chemical Com
panys board.

ACCUSED TEXAN
ARRESTED HERE
Ellis Nelson, Charged With
Completely in Numbering
Man and Wife, Captured
FOUND ON PENSACOLA
Sheriff of Lone Star State
Takes. Prisoner Back to
Undergo Trial for Crime

Ellis Nelson, a member of the hospi-
tai corps of the navy and attached to
the training ship Pensacola, was ar
rested yesterday morning by Sheriff J..
F. Stanley of Trinity County, Tex. and
Detectives Conlon and MCGOWAN of this
city on charge of murder. He was
brought to- the City Prison and yester
day afternoon Sheriff Stanley left with
him for Texas. The crime is alleged
to have been committed in Weldon
County, Texas.
Sheriff Stanley says that a feud had
existed between family named Alex
ander on one side and the Nelson and
the Crowson families on. the other. The
families lived near Groveton, Weldon
County. On Monday morning in
August, 1901, four Nelson brothers. in
cluding Ellis. and two of the Crowsons
armed themselves and rode to the farm
of Bob Alexander. They called Alex
ander out and when he appeared he
was shot dead, four bullets being found
later in his body. His wife, hearing the
shots, ran outside and as she bent over
the body of her husband a volley was
fired at her and she fell dead over the
lifeless body of her husband. Three
bullets had taken effect.
The daughter of the Alexanders came
outside and three shots were fired at
her. She ran round the corner of the
house and succeeded in making her
escape. Three of the Nelson's were ar
rested and the two Crowsons, but Ellis
disappeared 1t was only about six
weeks ago that the discovery was made
that he had enlisted in the hospital
corps at Houston, Tex, in his own
name and he was traced to the Pensa-
cola.
Esau Nelson was tried and convicted,
but was granted a new trial and as his
mind seemed to have been affected the
District Attorney withdrew the charge
against him. Another brother was
tried, convicted and sentenced to life

awaiting trial They have demanded a
change of venue from Weldon County

MAYOR TO NAME
COMMISSIONER
His Honor Will Soon Appoint
His Brother Herbert as a
Member of Police Board
WHITMAN IS DOOMED
Opinion General That Chief
and Sergeant Ellis Will Be
Removed From Positions

In all likelihood Mayor Schmltz Will
on Saturday night announce the ap-
pointment of his brother, Herbert
Schmitz, to be Police Commissioner.
His Honor stated yesterday that the
complexion of things might change In
the meantime, but those who profess
to be on the inside" assert that there
will be no change and that the ap-
po1ntment of Herbert Schmltz is
foregone conclusion.
1t is said that the Mayor is waiting
until the Whitman case has been dis
posed of before naming his brother.
1t is the general opinion that Whitman
is doomed to be dismissed from his
position as Chief when the Police
Commission meets next Friday night.
Neither the Mayor nor the Pollce
Commissioners have given any inkling
AS to the identity of Wittman's prob
able successor. Gossip has mentioned
the names of Police Captains Duke,
Gleason and Martin and Detective
Jerry Dinan, but it is being rumored
that the new Chief of Police will be
some one not at present in the depart
ment. Commissioner of Public Works
MaeStretti denies that he has his eyes
on the job and says he has enough
trouble in his present position without
looking for more as Chief of Police.
In fact just who the man will be has
not been settled.
1t is the general opinion that Ser
geant Ellis will also be dismissed by
the Police Commissioners because of
his connection with the Chinatown
scandal. The Chinatown squad impli-
Gated in the matter will probably not
fare so badly, as the Police Commis-
/. sion will content itself with imposing
a heavy fine on the patrolmen for the
part they took in the affair.

DOCTORS AND CHEMIST
ARE AT LOGGERHEADS
Bottle Says He Found Strychnine
While Millar and Stephen Say
That 1t Was Opium.


That 1t Was Opium.
Between City Chemist Bottle and
Drs. Millar and Stephen of the Central
Emergency Hospital exists wide di-
vergence of opinion as to the kind of
poison that ended the life of an un-
identified man found unconscious on
the street on March s, and who died
in the Central Emergency Hospital a
few hours later. At the inquest yes
terday DR.. Bottle testified that he had
found crystals of strychnine in the
stomach of the dead man. Drs. Mil
lar and Stephen, who treated the de-
ceased at the hospital, swore that the
man had none of the symptoms of
strychnine poisoning, but that on the
contrary he had all the symptoms of
an overdose of opium. They said fur
ther that there was the most marked
difference between the symptoms
caused by the two drugs.
On cross-examination DIR. Bottle ad-
mitted that he had not applied any
chemical tests to the crystals found in
the stomach. He had examined them
through microscope and found
them morphologically to be strych-
nine.
The jury returned a verdict that
death had been caused by strych-
nine" and added, ''but we doubt as to
whether it was caused by strychnine
or opium poisoning.
