close to the Albanian frontier in
Western Serbia.

Through all these difficulties,

MORE ARRESTS TO BE
MADE IN HAVERFORD
VOTING LIST PROBE
Small Property Owners De-
termined to Garry Fight
Against "Millionaires" to
Finish; Detectives Work
ing on Case.

More arrests are likely to be made in
the padded" voting list probe Of Haver-
ford township, following that yesterday
afternoon OF Registration Assessor ]. 2.
Pianklneton, Of oakmont.
e. II. Bryant. Of Brookline, the private
detective, who is conducting the investl-
CATION of the voting list OF Hayerford
township, this morning obtained the full
assessors list for the township and Is
going over It carefully, checking up each
name.
I'VE shall certainly make other arrests,
IL. as we expect, we find false registra-
tlon in other parts OF the township" said
Mr.. Bryant. "I have instructions TO
probe this matter to the bottom and to
spare no one"
Registration Assessor Plankington was
arrested on complaint of Prof. A. @. Ellis,
of Jefferson Medical College, who resides
in Oakmont. The assessor was ar
raigned at preliminary hearing last
night at the firehouse in Milburne, and
he was held in $1,000 bail for a further
hearing next Monday night.
with this arrest the long-threatenlng
contest between the small property own
ers and the millionaire colony OF
Haverford township has come to a head.
It was charged that on the assessors
list were 11s names Of men who either
moved from the township or were un-
known.
Two years ago there were great many
italians and negroes employed on work
on the railroad in and about Haverford.
Almost without exception these men
lived in Haverford township and their
names were put upon the voting lists
Within the last six months the majority
Of these laborers have moved away from
the township, and it is charged that the
registration assessors did not take the
trouble to remove their names from the
voting lists.
Recently some 600 letters were sent out
to voters in Haverford township, and out
of that number 11S were returned with
the postofice notification that the adj
dressees had either removed or could not
be found. AS this list of 11S names does
not include all of the Italians and negroes
who lived in the township at the time OF
the railriad construction work, 1t Is
charged by the small property owners
that there a still greater number of false
names upon the voting lists of the town
ship,
Repeated demands from some of the
taxpayers to allow them to inspect the
voting lists were met by refusal on the
part Of the registration assessors. De-
termined to force the inspection of these
lists, the arrest of Mr.. Plankngton was
obtained.

DU POINT PLANTS
ARE GUARDED BY
PRIVATE POLICE
Major Richard Sylves-
ter Heads Efficiently
Organized Depart
ment.
Complete System of Protecting
Great Powder Works Insti-
tuted - Ex-Army Men In
cluded in Bureau RESPONSE
BILE for Safety of Shops.

WILMINGTON. Del, July 2o.-For the
purpose Of handling the work Of guard
Ing the powder plants OF the company
In various places and such other police
work as may be necessary the Du Pont
Powder Company now has an elaborate
department in charge of r. r. M. Car
penter, who is brother-in-law Of Pierre
8. du Pont and one Of the most popular
OF the young powder officials. Major
Richard Sylvester, who was formerly in
charge Of the police force Of Washington.
ID. c.. Ia the chief Of the police depart
ment.
This department handles the guards at
all OF the plants owned by the company,
and in case detectives should be neces-
ssry for special work this department
hires them. No matter where the special
officers are employed, they are under the
direction Of Major Sylvester.
No man is taken as a guard unless his
reputation is known.
Men who have had experience in the
regular army or as police officers are pre-
ferred, because II is held they are more
used to discipline and understand the
necessity for carrying out orders.
II man applying for position should
give President Wilson as one OF his ref
erences the company would probably
write to the President. Pull" counts for
nothing. II big official of the country
recommends man he must go through
the same routine OF investigation. The
local office is in touch with what goes on.
The police department is in touch with all
events. however small, that may occur in
any OF the Du Pont plants.
This private police force is probably
the largest one In the country at thig
time. Contrary to some OF the published
reports, 1t is not composed Of toughs, but
OF men who have intelligence and in most
cases have had experience. They have
nerve. for nerve Is one of the require
ments of the position, and n man without
1t would be no good.
The first thing which the men are
taught is that they are to be no re-
specters Of persons. Should Mr.. Carpen-
ter himself go to a plant the guards
would hold him up until he showed his
pass and, If considered necessary by the
guard, identified himself as the man for
whom the pass was issued. Pierre S. du
Pont, the head of the powder company,
would have to have a similar pass II
he desired to get into Carney Point, for
instance, his pass would have to be signed
by the man In charge of the plant He
Is the man who Is responsible, and even
the president of the company would not
for n moment interfere with any of his
powers.
