TACKLES
The TRUST
Senators Believe Uncle Sam
is Being BunCOed by the
Powder Combine.

Washington, Feb 16-- The house
provision in the naval bill that no
part Of the appropriation for powder
should be paid to amy trust or mo-
nopoly "exaept in the event of an
emnBency' was the subject OF con
siderable criticism In the senate yes
terday.
That IL was for the purpose OF
hoOdwinking the public and would
not really affect the purchase of
powder to any appreciable extent was
charged by Senator Cummins. He
added THAT he understood that the
navy department, under this provi-
sion, would buy from Others except
the t'ust only black powder for
loading shells and such powder com.
pared with all the powder used by
the government Is, he said, very
small. He charged the house with an
intention of deceiWnIg.
Senator Stone suggested that the
Du Pont Powder Co., was the only
source from which powder could be
olaained and wished TO know wheth-
er that would be an emergency"
as provided for in the bill and If
So he wished to know whether the
house provision was not ga pretense
and a fraud on its face"
Mr.. Hale declared THAI he did not
believe that 1t was "pretense and
n fraud" Mr.. Hale pointed to the
lower price for powder fixed by the
bill, ga CENTS per pound, compared
with 69 CENTS paid last year. He
added that the navy was now bmrn-
ing up powder in quantities that in
the past would have been consid-
cred sufficient for a war;
Does the senator not think that
more Powder is burned in firing
salutes than in firing at targets. f"
inquired Mr. Bacon
Mr.. Hale gave no reply to Mr..
I'acons question, but answering Mr..
Stone insisted THAT the house had
restricted the purchase of powder
in good faith. AIr. Olmmins declared
that the restri ltion applied TO only
