In tones betraying her doubt. "Do

For four consecutive evenings Mr..
Bowser had spent two hours each
evening In the library and had refused
70 explain his action to Mrs. Bowser.
She knew that he had been writing
and hunting up statistics, but could
get no further. For four days and

mined and heroic look on his face,
but an he came home ON the fifth she
saw that some sort of climax had

was to ascertain that Mr. Bowser had
done nothing foolish. Having announc-
ed at the dinner table that duty called
him out that evening. he added:

IRx Associated Press.I

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-How the Du
Pont Powder company cut prices in the
south to put the Chattanooga Powder
company out of business was brought
out today at the resumption of hear
ings in the suit of the government
against the so-called powder trust.
f. G. Waddell, district sales agent
for the Sinnamahoning Powder COM
pany of Huntington, w. Va, testified
that he had instructions from Eugene
Du Pont to go down and "oust' the
Chattanooga company, regardless of
prices.
II located the trade supplied by the
Chattanooga company" said Waddell,
with the aid of the railroads and took
it away from them"
In 1895, he continued, the Chattanooga
company was sold out by the Du Pont
and the Latin & Rand Powder COM
panies. The Southern Powder COM
panys mills were sold to the same per-
sons who purchased the Chattanooga
property, he said.
During his testimony, Mr. Waddell
described the trade bureau" system
maintained by the Du Pont company,
in which it kept in close touch with
conditions throughout the country.
The hearing was adjourned until to-

FRAT MEMBERS
FACE EXPULSION
KAPPA DELTA BOYS CALLED
TO EXPLAIN
Superintendent of Schools Moore Is
Likely to Investigate Greek Lett
ter Society and Its Initi-
alton "Stunts'

Great excitement prevails at the
Polytechnic and the Los Angeles hlgn
schools. and especially at the former,
over the order issued by Prof. j. Ii.
Francis, principal of the Polytechnic,
yesterday to the effect that all mem
bers of the Kappa Delta fraternal or
ganization will be compelled to either
renounce their membership in the order
or to appear before DR.. e. c. Moore,
superintendent of schools, to give rea-
son for their refusal to abide by the
rules of the school.
The order issued is result of an
initiation into the order Thursday night
in the Haunted house" near Biminl
baths of Frank Ritchie and Edgar
Lusk, two young men attending the
Los Angeles high school. The excite
ment at the Polytechnic school is
doubly intense because of the fact that
some of the principal leaders in the or
ganization are among the most prom
inent members of the student body.
Although Guy Boynton and Chester
Crank, two of the students who as
sisted in the initiation Thursday night,
were not expelled from school yester-
day they went to see DR.. Moore yester-
day morning, probably to make some
explanation for their conduct. DR..
Moore was not in his office.
Roy Taylor, who also had part in
the initiation, probably will be allowed
to remain in the school, as this is said
to have been his first offense of this
kind.
1t is believed by many of the students
of the school that young Boyntor- and
Crank will appear before DR.. Moore to-
day and will give reasonable excuse
for their actions while others think
they will be expelled from the institu-
tiOQ.

CURTIS ANXIOUS
TO DODGE JAIL
NEW YORK BANKER THROWS
BLAME ON MORSE
Determination to Exonerate Himself
Made Apparent by Letter Writ
ten Over Year Ago to Ice
Promoter

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-The apparent
determination of Alfred II. Curtis TO
exonerate himself of all blame respect
ing the banking transactions for Whlch
he and Charles w. Morse are now un-
dergoing trial in the United States dis
trict court here, became more denned
today when, under the prompting OF
his attorney, Mr.. Curtis produced q
letter written by him under date OF
June 13, 1907, and addressed to Morse,
in which he protested vigorously
against the continuance of practlces
instituted by the latter, which in cur
tis' opinion constituted grave menace
to the stability of the National Bank
of North America.
The incident of the overdratt OF
$211 900 by Morse was made the subject
of searching questions by the witness
own attorney.
MIR. Curtis related the coming of F.
Augustus Heinze to him with request
for a loan of $4,000 and his refusal TO
grant the accommodation.
Morse demonstrated with him, saying
"JJnless we let them have the money
they must go to the WALL
Curtis stood firm, however, he said,
and retorted: "They cannot have cent
of the banks money. If they must fail,
they must fail.
He Was "Amrazed"
But to his amazement, he testified, a
personal check of Charles w. Morse for
$126,000, drawn to the order OF Heinze,
came through the next day.
The check had been honored, although
at the time the witness said Morse had
a balance to his credit of only $500.
II went to Morse" witness said, "and
told him he must protect the bank and
at once wipe out his overdraft. Morse
sent out and got two boxes of securi-
ties and turned their contents over to
me.
IT told him that the securities We're
insufficient, and he offered to give me
an order for $1s00000O of steamship
bonds which he had on deposit in Lon
don. 1 accepted and upon being given
the order at once cabled to London to
have the securities held subject to the
Bank of North Americas order"
The witness was then turned over to
the attorneys for Morse. Despite their
efforts to present Curtis in the light of
a free agent, who at all times was not
under the control of Morse, the witness
persisted in maintaining his contention
that he was but the instrument of an
others will and purpose.
