Case Says Monopoly

SCARLET ASKS THAT
DECREE BE GRANTED

Judges Gray. Burlington and Lam
ming heard concluding argument and
reserved a decision yesterday in the
suit of the Government against the
+. |. dupont de Nemours Company,
the alleged Powder Trust" charged
with violating the Sherman antitrust
act.
James S. Scarlet, who was one Of
the prosecuting attorneys i'm the
State Capitol graft cases. made the
closing argument as special counsel
for the Government Mr.. Scarlet
urged that the testimony taken before
the examiner clearly showed that the
defendants had an ulterior motive IN
purchasing the plants of their busi-
ness rivals, and that II was absolutely
necessary for them to gain control Of
the powder market in order to pay
$12,000000 which they owed for the
purchase of manufactures of COM
petitors. There was no doubt, he
said, that the defendants intended to
monopOlize the powder trade.
Mr.. Scarlet read portions of the
testimony for the purpose Of show
ing. he declared, that there was a Just
conclusion that a conspiracy was in
progress TO drive out all competition
from the powder trade when the du-
Pont company combined with Latin
and Rand in 1901 He said that the
Government had presented a prima
facie case Of combination among
the members Of the association, and
was entitled to a decree preventing
the defendants from continuing 10

.BALLINCER
HAS RESIGNED
President Today Announces
Retirement Of Secretary
of Interior
DEMOCRATS HAD
THREATENED TO IMPEACH

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, March TO the
accompaniment of letter bristling
with denunciation Of the muck
rakers," President TAFT today accepted
the resignation Of Richard Achilles
Ballinger, as secretary of the Interior.
The announcement came i'm the form
of a simple statement at the White
House that Walter l.. Fisher, of Chi
cago, a lawyer, and former president
of the National Conservation
League" had been appointed to Bal
lingers place and would take Office
within few days.
With the making public later Of ct
ters which passed between the Presi-
dent and Ballinger, It became known
for the first time that the Secretary
had verbally asked to be relieved of
his cabinet post on the ground of i'll
health, some time prior to January 10,
and that in letter bearing that date
he had submitted a formal resigna-
ton.
Rumors that a new Democratic
House would undertake impeachment
OF Ballinger because of the disclosures
by joint legislative committee which
investigated the Ballinger- -Pinchot
controversy preceded the final action
during the last few days.
Fisher, the new Secretary of the In
terror, is a "Plinchot conservationist. 80
ist.' His selection is regarded here
as an attempt to placate progressives
and an endeavor on the part of the
President to restore peace i'm the con-
servation war.
The National Conservation League"
OF which Fisher was president. was
merged with the National Conserva-
ton Association-the organized oppo-
sltion Of the Ballinger land policies.
Fisher is now honorary vice-president
of that organization, OF which Clifford
Pinchot, former Chief Forester. is
president Overton w. Price, former
ly Associate Forester. discharged with
Pinchot by Presidential orders, be-
cause Of their activity against Bal
linger, is an active associate OF Fish
er.

No action was taken this morning

bearing on the subject from the Rose

To the President and members Of the

the city Of Wilmington.
Gentlemen: by instruction Of Rose

partment granting to the Whining
ton and Southern Traction Company
the right to enter, lay tracks and OPP
crate its cars within your city under
such conditions as may be necessary
to safeguard the interests of the city
and the general public
This grange is in receipt of a COM
munication from the general manager
of said company promising FIVE cent
fare between its terminus and Rose
Hin I'm the event Of the franchise be-
ing granted TO IL, we therefore beg 10
suggest that the permanent establish
ment of n five cent fare between it's

request your department TO grant
such a franchise. Very truly.

The commissioners told the dele
cation that they would take no action
on the franchise until they had in
vestigated further and found out OK
actly what the Wilmington and
Southern Railway Company wanted
to do.
The delegation admitted that they
did not know just what route the
company proposed TO take to enter the
citv The commissioners said they
understood the company wished 10
make use of the old Rogers Road.
The delegates said forty families i'm
Rose Hill would be benefited by the
five-cent fare, which would save each
Of them two cents. One mother said
she could use this to treat the chill
dren to the moving picture show. The
extra walking, the delegation said. the
Rose Hill people would not mind as
long as they saved ten cents a trip
The Street and Sewer Commission
ers felt that to have the terminus At
Front aud Market, instead Of the pres.
eut way Of getting off at the +. and r
junction and transferring to any part
of the city. would mean a long walk
for many working men,
The present congested condition al
Market street bridge also made the
granting Of the sought for right OF
way open to objection, the commits
sioners thought. Tho grangers sug.
gested that the trolley company might
help in building a wider bridge. but
the commissioners did not think II
would pay tho company to go to thi.
expense.
