THREE W0RkMEN
Many Others Injured, at the
du Pont Powder Plant, Car
neys Point, n. J..

PHILADELPHIA. January 10.-Three
men were killed and a number injured
in an explosion of smokeless powder
early today at the plant of the du Pont
powder works at Carneys Point, n. ].
1t has been reported that a large num-
Der of men had lost their lives, but after
an Investigation the superintendent OF
the plant said tina only. three were dead.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. but according to the superin-
tendent there is no suspicion that the
blast was Tue to outside agencies. The
report that arrests had been made was
denied.
The dead are John Walsh. Nyack. N.
Y: Richard J. 'Larney, Philadelphia,
and 7, Clyde Wynn, address not known.
The Superintendent of the plant said
the victims were employees, but hat
they had no business in that part of
the works where the explosion oc-
Cured. The blast was a terrific n
ana was felt twenty-five miles away.
Wire communication with the plant
was cut off by the shock, with the re-
SUIT that the widest rumors prevailed
the accident. The property loss is
small. as the explosion occurred in a
small building of No. 1 plant of the
works. 1t was some distance from the
main buildings.
One of the reports in circulation was
that government agents and secret
service men from the du Point police
force had been watching suspicious
persons who went to the plant from
Wilmington. Del, by boat, and that two
carrying bombs and fuses had been ar
rested.
II. b. Lands, a representative of the
company. branded all these reports as
false. Nothing ever occurs at the
powder works of the du Pont company
but that some one loads one or two men
up with bombs and dynamite and puts
them under arrest" said Mr.. Lands.
There is nothing to the plot theory"

BURNHAM DIES
AFTER MONTHS ILLNESS
Proprietor of London Daily Tele-
graph Last of Old School of
British Newspaper Owners.

LONDON. January 1o.-Lord Burnnam
is dead, after an illness of more than a
month.
Lord Burnham, the proprietor of the
Daily Telegraph, was the last of the old
school of London newspaper owners.
Through his working years, from young
manhood to an older age chan most
men remain in harness. he controlled
the business affairs and the editorial
policies of that paper. He made il one
of the greatest properties among news
papers. as well as q great paper from
the news standpoint. Born Edward
Levy, December %. 1888. eldest of a
family of eight children of j. NJ. Levy,
he assumed, in 1875. the surname of his
uncle, Lionel Lawson. and was Edward
Levy-Lawson. October 10. 1892, he was
created a baronet. and July 81, 1903. he
was raised to the peerage al Baron
Burnham. His title was taken from
the Hundred of Burnham. Bucks, which
contains most of the Hall Barn estate.
which was his country seat
On the occasion of his eishtieth birth
day. in 1913, the journalists of Great
Britain paid a remarkable tribute of
their respect. A large delegation, head
ed by North Northcliffe, visited Lord
. toutNf tbooS" hiu Pi
ed an address. to the dOyen of news
paper proprietors, which was signed by
all the leading British newspapermen.
Messages of congratulation were sent
by the king and queen, by many public
men and organizations, and kilograms
of congratulation were received from
all parts of the world.
Career One Of Hard Work.
The career OF the proprietor of the
Daily Telegraph was one OF hard work
and steady advancement from a small
beginning. After an academic school
ing at the University College School, in
London, where he won several prizes,
he was given the choice between enter
ing London University OF joining his
father in business. He selected the
latter pursuit. His father was head
Of a printing firm. and in 1855 had ac-
quired a small newspaper, the Daily
Telegraph and Courier.
Young Levy was given charge of this
property in 1855, and spent his life in
developing 1t into a great newspaper.
For many years the Daily Telegraph
was the largest London paper in the
number of its news columns, and prob
ably no newspaper in the world has ex-
pended more money in telegraph and
able tolls. 1t has always been the pa
per of the middle classes. as the Times
was additionally the paper of the dip
Iomatic and official world. of the uni
versities and the Church of England,
and as the Morning Post has been the
organ of society. The number of its
columns of advertising for many years
gave evidence that it was the most
profitable property.
Lord was active and promi-
nent through his later life in the news
paper press fun and the Institute Of
Journalists, and in various public
movements, and was a prominent Free
mason. A few years ago he retired
from active newspaper work, and spent
most of his time. surrounded by his
family, at his country place. There he
enjoyed shooting and other outdoor
pursuits, and entertained at different
times the late King Edward and King
George.

ASSURANCE GIVEN
TO BUSINESS MEN
Attorney General Outlines Pol
icy in Enforcing the Anti
Trust Laws.

Re~assurances to the business men OIL
the country regarding the policy or the
Department of Justice in enforcing Inc
Sherman antitrust laws are belleVed
here to be conveyed in a statement Oh
Attorney General Gregory. publlshed
today, in which he outlines this poilcN.
The statement. issued through the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unltcd
States. was in response to a suggestion
that an expression from the Attorney
General as to the governments atti-
tude in future antitrust prosecutions
might be regarded as rcassurlng 10
the public mind" and might "dispel
some of the uncertainty which hereto
fore existed" Information on the sub
ject as well as the relationship that

AS to Doubtful Cases.

In announcing the departments pol
icy in enforcing the law in admittedly
doubtful cases the Attorney General
said that where the department was
assured of the good faith of the par
ties to a transaction 1t had not been
and woul not be to invoke extreme
penalties against them.
In such a case" said Mr.. Gregory,
the department would consider that the
just and appropriate and quickest way
of enforcing the law would be by a
civil proceeding in which the question
involved would be contested or a con-
sent decree entered, according as the
defendants desired, or by a notice to
the parties of the departments con-
illusions, with opportunity to abandon
or modify the transaction"

Given Opportunity to Explain.

Discussing the means adopted by the
department to guard against unjust
prosecutions. Mr.. Gregory declared that
the person or corporation against whom
complaint is made, unless it has already
declared its attitude. is given full OPP
~portunity to submit its defense before
any action is taken.
Regarding the departments policy in
cases where it and the federal trade
commission are both charged with en-
forcing the law, Mr.. Gregory said that
the department would, in general, be
guided BY the principle which governs
the federal and state courts in cases
where they have concurrent jurisdic-
ton.
While admitting that there was some
doubt as to the application of the
Sherman law in certain cases, the At
torney Genera declared that it was no
more so than of other laws, and added
that such doubt as exists would be
greatly educe by decisions now pend
ing in the Supreme Court.
