Senator'S Think it Should be Provided
After Attacking Dupont Company.

Washington, May 28.-Increase in
the capacity Of the government pow
der factory at Indian Head, Nd, so
that all smokeless powder used by
the navy In times Of peace may bc
manufactured there would be pro-
vided in an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill adopted today by
the senate. In the debate q general
attack was made on the Dupont Pow
der company.
Members Of the naval committee
advocating the amendment, which
would appropriate 100000, explained
the government did not intend to
manufacture all it's powder but II
needed a plant big enough to make il
independent of the Dupont company.
Senator Hughes contended that the
amendment meant the driving from
business Of private capital.
Senator La Toilette read from a
published article which charged that
after a superior powder had been de-
veloped through the aid of govern
ment officers, the trust" then sold it
to foreign governments.
Senator Warren of Wyoming de-
clared the Dupont company deserved
commendatiOn for many acts; that it
voluntarily submitted to Secretary
Daniels it's contracts for powder In
Mexico and cancelled them on the
secretary's "merest suggestion"
Senator Reed suggested that "any
man who sells powder to q foreign
nation with whom we are at war Is
likely to be executed for treason"
