Mr.. HASKELL
DEFENDS duPONTS
Declares Delaware Company
is Not PTOfitine by Pat
entS Complained OF
ASSISTS GOVERNMENT IN
BUILDING POWDER PLANT

The report Of a hearing few days
ago igven by the subcommittee or
fortihcations Of the House Committee
on Appropriations Of the National
Congress has been made public. J. A.
Haskell, vice-president of the dupont
de Nemours Company Of this state.
popularly known as the Powder Trust
was examined at length. In his testi-
nony Mr.. Haskell made some very in
deresting statements. 1t has been
charged that the patents taken out by
officers Of the government had been
sold TO the dupont Company and that
under them it hasacquired a monopoly
Of the business of furnishing the gov
ernment with smakeless powder. Mr..
Haskell testified the patents were Of
fered to the dupont Company and de-
clined because they did not appear TO
be OF any value. They were sold to
the International Smokeless Powder
Company, and when the concern was
bought by the duPonts the patents
went with it, Mr.. Haskell further
stated that II the patents ever had any
value they had none now for the gov
ernment was not purchasing powder
under the specifications covered by the
patents. The witness also took up the
question Of selling powder to foreign
governments. and said the proposition
which had been discussed i'm the House
had been made by a man now deceased,
IN behalf Of the International Com
pany some years before it had been
acquired by the DUPONT Company ana,
even II his action had been open to
criticism it could hardly be directed
toward the company he represented
which had nothing TO do with it.
Mr.. Haskell also gave some inter-
esting testimony concerning new
secret process OF manufacturing smoke
less powder, now being experimental
with. The representatives Of the gov
ernment were anxious the process
should not fan into the hands Of
foreign governments and the dupont
Company therefore purchased the
foreign rights at a cost OF $4,000 from
which they will receive nothing Mr.
Haskell also stated that during war
times. from 1912 to the present. the
dupont Company had always charged
less prices for powder than during
times Of peace. Instead Of opposing
6he establishment OF an army powder
plant they had assisted the Bureau of
Ordinance by furnishing plans and
specifications.
I'VE have furnished General Crozier
with bBde prints and plans Of buildings
and na1- grven bi mevery facility TO
build the proposed government plant"
said Mr.. Haskill. He continued at
length to show the friendly relations
that had always existed between the
government and the powder companies
and stated that as under existing con-
tracts with the government the plants
could only be worked to one-third their
capacity he Thought a fair profit should
be allowed on their contracts. The
profit on seventy-ive per cent OF the
outside business was greater than that
on government business although
under highly competitive conditions.
1t was the first time the so-called
Powder Trust has been represented be-
dcre n committee Of Congress and Mr.
TIaskelTs statement has attracted much
attention.

AS the story goes If the hog comes

iod. On the other hand should his
shadow not be perceptible he will re-
main outside and good weather may

When some guests at his left began
twitting each other and jesting over
their dryness between the splendid
courses Of fowl shellhsh and entrce,
the Senator arose and said;
Gentlemen. I notice that 1t occa-
sions some surprise that we have no
"wet goods before us tonight. I
desire to say in Difference TO the wishes
Of my wife and a desire not to often
the slightest offense to some Of tho
members OF the Legislature who haN &
honored me with their presence we
have determined to get along without
this class of liquid refreshments"
Senator AppIauded.
The temperance men applauded the
assertion OF the Senator-elect, while
the convivial members present
groaned.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, the
guests. after saying farewell to sena-
tor Richardson, were surprised when
a company Of men pushed piano into
