DUPONT War Revived

The fight in the dupont family of
millionaire powder makers, which COW
ers nearly decade and which had its
beginning when Alfred |. dupont d.
vorced his first wife and shortly after
ward married his present wife, has
broken out afresh.
Social ostracism by the other du
Points of Alfred | DUPONT and his Sc :
ond wife, who is the daughter f
Federal Judge Edward G. Bradford
is mainly responsible for the bitter
family feud whose most recent 1drn
promises opposition to all of the
dulront Powder Company interests.
Socially, politically and in a bus'-
ness way the powder barons are to Oe
given battle by the member of the
family who has been ousted from any
official connection with the $40, 000,-
600 powder concern.
Back of the purchase by Alfred l..
DUPONT last night of a controlling III
terest in the Delaware Trust Company
for 100000 is said to be a plan If
those associated with him to com
pete in the powder business as we'll as
to offer opposition in other ways 20
the other duPontS.
After the war waged against Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred |. dupont by other
members of the dupont family and
Wilmington society had languished for
several years it was revived late in
1915, when Philip F dupont, rep"e-
senting Alfred l. dupont and few
other members of the dupont family,
brought suit in the Federal court Of
this district against the DUPONT Sc
curities Company, subsidiary of the
dupont Powder Company, to compel
Pierre S. dupont, president of the
powder company, and his associates 70
turn back into the treasury of the
company $56,000,000 worth of stock
acquired from Gen. T. Coleman du
Pont. a first cousin of Alfred |. du
Pont and formerly president of the
company. 1t was alleged that fraud
ulent methods were employed in the
acquisition of the stock. This suit,
which virtually means control of the
powder company. is expected to come
to trial next month.
Because of his participation in the
pending litigation. Alfred | dupont
was dropped as vice-president and
member of the finance committee Of
the company, and subsequently he
also was ousted as a director along
with Francis ! dupont and William
DUPONT, who have aligned themselves
with the Alfred !. dupont faction.
Shortly after the word went forth
that Alfred |. dupont was thinking If
becoming active in Delaware politics
SO far he has not made any active
move himself, but his friends did pre-
vent the selection of his first cousin,
! United States Senator Henry A. du
Pont. as Republican national delegate
| from New Castle county.
The political upheaval also has been
in the nature of blow to the Presi-
dental aspirations of Gen. T. Coleman
dupont, also first cousin of Alfred l..
for the latter has decided to support
Col. Theodore Roosevelt at the nat
ional convention, and it will be 10
surprise to Delaware politicians if he
swings the votes of the other dee
gates to the Colonel
The purchase by Alfred l. dupont
of the trust company means that the
powerful Wilmington Trust Company
which is controlled by the dupont
Powder Company interests. is to have
a formidable rival.
The next move is awaited with in

SPARE HAROInG's PRIVATE CHARACTER.

The Knoxville Journal Indignantly
rebukes a Rev. Mcmillan for assailing
the private character of Mr.. Harding.
Mcmillan halls from Hardings home
town and is president OF the anti
saloon league. If he has the goods on
Harding ne should so into court with
his evidence but il he is merely SLAM
dering a candidate upon suspicion he
should be suppressed. There is
enough in Mr., Harding's public record
10 condemn him for the exalted office
of governor withou, exposing any de-
ficiencies in private character if there
are any. Such campaigning will get
votes for Harding thru sympa thy.
Those who know most about Harding
want HIM rejected fairly upon his
public record and unitness for public
office. Now that the Knoxville Jour-
nal has published McMillan's purport-
ed accusation of Mr.. Harding 1t is 10
be hoped that Harding goes after Nc
MILAN in court as Roosevelt did when
he was accused.
