NEW YORK, April 29.-A Japanes
syndicate which is said to represent
the Japanese government, has been sc
cretly purchasing 4 number Of noun
tain tops overlooking the great d.
Popt smokeless powder plant at Has
kelI, n. J. The powder Of this factory
is manufactured almost exclusively
for the United States government. II
is this powder which is used by the big
guns of the army and navy.
With such caution have the Japa
nese taken titles to the hills to the
uorthward Of the Haskell plant that
the residents Of the neighborhood did
not become aroused until the present
agitation in California against alien
ownership of lands began to develop
it's proportions.
"Why they quietly settled here be.
side us Is puzzle" said ono Of the
officials Of the Du Pont Powder com.
pany late tonight. "If they wanted
to they could mount few guns there
and throw a few shells into our midst
and would pretty nearly put US out of
business. OF course I am not saying
that they have any such thing in mind.
I have always been Of the opinion that
Japan is one Of our best friends" "
Government Interested.
That the United States governm emit
is wholly dependent upon the powder
trust for the ammunition for It's navy
was shown by evidence set forth In
the government's suit for the dissolu-
ton Of the monopoly. II was shown
that the Du Pont company made 100
per cent Of all the smokeless powder,
outside Of the comparatively email
amount manufactured by the govern.
ment itself.
The exact figures are set forth in
the report OF Special Examiner vii.
liam G. Mehaffey- The federal inves-
tigation also showed that the bulk of
the smokeless powder was manufac,
tured at Haskell. Tue total amount of
powder purchased last year by the
government amounted to 1885 900.
The company began to investigate
the country around Haskell shortly
after the United States government
began work on The Panama canal, Ono
