INFLUENZA GRIP

The city health authorities regard the
influenza epidemic as slightly on the
decrease. Hundreds Of persons who
caught the malady when Il first sp-
peared locally. have recovered, but
others Of their family are now down
with the contagion. Each day brings
It's own peculiar problem, in handling
the epidemic. The most serious feature
now Is the large number Of pneumonia
cases developing among influenza pa
tients. The death list from influenza is
almost entirely made up Of cases where
this dangerous pneumonia developed.
Nobody should relax vigilance In tax
ing care OF their general health, the
officials say. Influenza patients who
have gotten over the sickness carry the
germs about with them from eight to
ten days. according 10 leading ply
sicians.
There were 80 deaths in this city, d.

dupont STOCK
SUIT WITH COURT
Counsel on Both Sid e S
Closes After Two Day
Argument
PLAINTIFFS COUNSEL
QUIZZED BY JUDGE

Argument in the dupont powder suit
was concluded yesterday afternoon in
the Circuit Court OF Appeals in Phila-
delphia when William A. Glasgow clos
ed after a two hours presentation OF
the plaintiffs case.
The last half hour Of the courts ses-
sion was devoted TO a running fire Of
questions and answers with Judge
Burlington and Judge Halght as ques-
TONERS. Even before this Judge Buff
flngton asked a number OF pointed ques-
tions OF the plaintiffs counsel. He
wanted to know why Coleman dupont
was not allowed TO testify when called
to the stand during the trial OF the case.
Counsel for the defendants had made
the point that Coleman dupont as the
principal had said that he was per
fectly satisfied with the sale after It
was finally made The reply was that
counsel for the defendants asked Cole
man what his opinion would have been
at that time This led to a review OF
the record which showed that the ques-
tiOns asked were really whether Cole
man had ever intended that the com
pany should be allowed TO buy the stock
for its own use.
When Mr.. Glasgow was talking about
the oompany's ability to purchase the
stock Judge Burlington interrupted with
the statement that he, the judge, had
never heard Il contended that the com
pany had no right to buy the stock; in
fact he thought the company had every
right TO buy Il. but as he understood
the coufpntion ~ WAS that the eornnanry
was not Justified in buying the stock
with financial and business conditions
as they were at that time.

Points letter 20 T. Coleman explaining
his disposition in the matter the court

SPIKE WOULD have

Boy Charged With Placing
it There Held Under
$4,000 Bail
COMP ANION Is
HELD AS WITNESS

Evincing little interest in the pro-
ceedings, but expressing a desire TO
smoke a cigarette Alexander Mekinen,
aged 80 years, a Fin. was given a pre-
limlnRry hearing before United States
Commissioner w. G. Mahaffy this morn
ing on a charge Of driving a six-inch
spike in the ways at the Pusey and
Jones Company shipyard. where he was
employed. Meklnen was held under
5000 bail for the December term OF the
district court. while Arved Higblon,
aged IS years. another Fin. was held
under $500 bail as a witness.
Both youths were arrested at the
plant on October 4, after the spike had
been found wedged in the ways by
Charles T. Messick, a foreman. The
ways were used on Saturday of last
week when the U. S. S. Marshall, a 1000
ton cargo carrier was launched.
The evidence produced at the hearing
today showed that had the vessel
struck the spike that was wedged In
the ways, the new boat would have
careened and perhaps tOppled 10 the
ground, perhaps crushing out the lives
OF hundreds Of the employees in the
yards.
In holding the defendant under bail
Commissioner MahafIy stated that un-
der the federal act the maximum pen
atty in case Of conviction is a fine Of
$4,000 or impronment for not more
than thirty years.
The first witness called was Messick,
the yard foreman who told Of seeing
Mekinen fumbllng about the ways Of
the new vessel, although he was en-
plOyed in another part Of the plant.
An investigation made at that time by
Messick showed the spike driven In
the ways up to the head. The spike
he added was so placed that the Slid
ing ways would have caught, throw

Although the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign In this city and New Castle

Influenza epidemic, reports Of bond
sales coming TO headquarters each day,
are sources OF great encouragement to

over four millions OF dollars had been
subscribed The tabulatiOn OF yester-
days work had not been completed at
noon today, but It showed further evil
dence OF the enthusiasm with which
the workers are pushing the sales Of
bonds. There were few hundred
thousand dollars worth sold yesterday.
One thing that is holding back more
detailed accounts, Is that workers ana
committees do not report daily the re-
suit Of the effort Of the previous day.
They all want TO make as creditsble

not do so good one day, they do not
