NJ PONT DENIES Trust CHARGE.
senator Files Answer tn GOVernment's suit
Against Powder Company.

WILMINGTON, Del. Dec. 2.-Senator
Henry A. du Pont OF Delaware, one Of
the defendants named in the suit recently
instituted by the Government against the
r. I. du Pont de NemOurs Powder Com
pany and thirty other concerns and in
dividuals throughout the country for
alleged violation Of the. sherman anti
trust law, this afternoon fled his answer
in the United States Circuit Court here.
The answer. which was filed coincident
with those of the other defendants, SAYS
that Senator du Pont was never actively
engaged in the manufacture and sale Of
powder, and that he did not therefore
dominate the powder business of the Du
Points.
IL is set forth that whatever interest he
had in the powder business he disposed Of
in 1902, and that he severed all connection
with every powder company or corporation
before he took his seat in the United States
Senate in December, 1908.
The answer shows that senator du POnC
was never actively in the powder business
He was in the Regular army from 1865 until
1875, when he resigned. In 1877 he was
elected a director of the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad Company, and in 1878
became its general manager and president.
He held this dual pOsiti until 1899, when
he retired from active business.
The answer dwells upon the fact that
the powder business is peculiar ind Hthat
il is necessary to the safety of the public
that great care should be exercised. IL is
necessary 10 be in condition to meet tho
maximum demand. to establish mills in
many places to overcome the difficulties
Of transportation and 70 more readily
supply powder as required.
The answer further asserts that the
business Of the Du Pont company was es-
tablished in every part Of the country as
fast as the country developed and there
was demand for the product. Frequently
the answer says, after the company had
by the expenditure OF large amounts OF
money, established itself in localities,
rivals would spring UP who In order to
obtain business proceeded to cut the price
and otherwise 50 manage their business
that there would be but little, II any, profit
10 the seller. The Du Pont companyswas
compelled, it is stated, to reduce prices to
meet the prices of its opponents. and from
time 20 time did do so. IL never originated
such competition, however; never lowered
prices to secure the customers of other
manufacturers. and never lowered the
prices of its product below its own cost Of
production.

4. q. Su Preme Court Decides Against ths
Pennsylvania Railroad.

WAsHINGToN. Dec. 2.-The Supreme
Court to-day, by reversing the Court OF
Appeals for the Third Circuit, in effect com
peIs the Pennsylvania Railroad 10 produce
it's books in suits brought against il by
the Webster and the Pennsylvania Coal
and Coke companies for 81 .7T5,OOO because
of discrimination by the railroad against
those companies and In favor of the rival
coal companies in the matter of supply
ing them with empty cars and in paying
rival companies for the use Of spur tracks.
The order for the company tO produce the
necessary books and papers was made by
the Circuit Court for the Eastern District
Of Pennsylvania, before whom the damage
siIt was pending.
The officers OF the company appealed as
individuals to the Court Of Appeals, which
held the order void because the section
Of the interstate commerce act under
which the damage suits were brought
being penal In character IL would in effect
he comp cling the company 20 testify
against itself in a criminal action in viO.
lation of the Constitution.
Chief Justice Fuller In delivering the
opinion OF the court sBiS the Court Of Ap-
peals had no Jurisdiction OF the appeal be-
cause the officers were not parties TO the
suit for damages and had no interest In
the books or papers In question. Be-
sides, the order was not final decree and
was not therefore appealAble So without
passing on the validity Of the order the
court reversed the judgment of the Court
Of Appeals, which in effect leaves the order
in force.

Psychic epilepsy" is the latest de-
fence Of New York medical experts
to the charge of assault and battery.
1t is described as epilepsy without
physical manifestations. during
which the patient loses his mind and
may commit murder, robbery or ar
son, knowing nothing OF the occur
renee when he recoyers." That "psy-
chic epilepsy is what an Irishman
would call, "a good memory for for
gettin' things" 1t manifests its most
acute form during the state of ado
lescence. and the seat of disturbance
is usually found within the sphere OF
influence of a jam pot in conjunction
with a maternal slipper.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Tomorrow is the Glorious Fourth
the anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration Of Independence. One
hundred and thirty-one years age
John Hancock made his name a
household word, and the spirit OF
our forefathers asserted itself.
For the first fifty years the nation
was engaged in a fight for existence
then came sectional strife, as the
country adjusted itself to new econ
omital conditions and expanded into
new territory, and the selfish inter
ests of all sections met and FLASHED
in the halls of congress. Since then
our interests have almost wholly
been devoted to internal problems,
but always the nation has been DOM
mated with that passion for freedom
that made the nation possible; has
ever been a haven of refuge for the
Oppressed of all the earth, has waged
its wars and fought its political bat
ties on issues that involved the
greatest benefit to the greatest num-
Der.
Having attained a position COM
handing among nations, wealthiest,
strongest, most moral, least hamper
ed, the nation has directed some of It's
attention during a decade to the ills
that beset those around it, fought a
war for the freedom of Cuba, made
sacrifices of men and money for
sake of people of the islands of the
sea, taken leading part in promot-
ing peace among nations, and carried
forward the work the forefathers be-
gan, in a spirit of altruism that out
shines the self-sacrifices they made
for the freedom of their own homes.
This is the greatest country the
sun ever shone on. 1t is infinitely
greater today than 1t was 100 years
ago in every element that goes TO
make for greatness. We have lost
nothing worth preserving that the
pioneers had, we have progressed az
God gave us opportunity to progress,
and he, who utters word of pessim-
ism on tomorrow, the Glorious
Fourth, Is a traitor in his heart.

votes receiver may indicate
party to the "cif II gang" The
sentiments of the 1164 voters, who
voted for some candidate other than
Mr.. Harrison, and the 200, who did
not vote at all. are not SO clearly reg
istered against the lefty hall gang. "
Now, IL the News-Democrat is
right in its assertion that every man
about the city building is in line
from Mayor Yeiser down" It means
either that Mr. harrison's friends
nave made terms with the people,
whom he was going to GUST, or that
the "city hall gang" have been
whipped into line and acknowledge
that their conduct in Office has been
such, that a candidate of their party
was justified in attacking their rec
ords to get the nomination.
The 706, who voted for Mr.. Harri-
son at the primary, certainly voted
for him understanding that he was
against the "city hall gang" and the
suggestion of a compromise with the
administration should not sit well on
their contemplation. But, sincerely
speaking, We do not believe Tom Har-
rison is the kind of man to attempt
to carry water on both shoulders.
He made the figh. straight out
against the administration, and we
do not believe the News-Democrat
spoke either for the Harrison-Lang
faction or the city administration.
when it made the broad assertion of
the loyalty of the administration
to the Lang ticket.
