' AFTER THE POWDER TRUST Fortifications .Bill .Contains.: Drastic Provisions Lobby Maintained '- Washington,;- January 1 16; A dras tic provision aimed1' at? the": r1 powder trust, following . testimony alleging at tbe Powder Company maintains a ' looby here - and spends hundreds of - thousands of dollars in Washington, 1s a feature of the For tifications appropriation '' hill v reported to the House todays ' ' ' :'c,y ? The bill which carries an aggregatf of ; $5,218,250 directs that no part of the appropriation j.shall be expejided lfor powder, -other than small arms;- and powder, at a price in excess ;of 53 cents a pound-": ; it , ; i Both the army and the navy powdei plants at Picatinny Arsenal, and In dian Head, respectively, . are making: powder at much less than 60 cents, which the government now pays, per pound to the Dupont Powder Company, at Wilmington,: IeL t:: : , Roberts. Waddell, representing the Hoynes Safety Powder Company, of Cleveland; charged in testimony ; be fore the Appropriation Committee that "the : Dupont Powder Company- .Jaafe never, heen accused of throwing awa: money" and that they ept. for some time on the Potomac, river a private yacht of T. C. Dupont. , . "That yacht." added Mr. Waddell "is called the 'Tech,' which the skip per told me was for general enter tainment purposes and that the lardei of It was magnificently supplied with everythftig that could contribute ; tc that end. . This yacht made excursion between . Washington and " Indiar Head." . t W-'i:a- ' iMr. Waddell testified that he did noti know of any money being spenf in the corruption of any governmenl official by the Dupont people," but that, it ' would be foolish to consider that the government will ever get any competition . against a trust like that of the Duponts. He testified that the army and navy officers, "particularly the army, come in direct contact with Senator Henry A. Dupont, of Delaware, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Af fairs," - whose position "gives him a Strong- influence compared rwith that of an outside manufacturer. . Tie cited an instance in which the "intimacy and confidence grown, up between the Dupont people" resulted in a lax In spection" in the Dupont plant. - "It would be foolish," he continued ; to ignore the fact that the influence of a man high in authority in the Sen ate and at the head of West Point does have a very potent power over the i members of the army." .' Mr. .Waddell further said that the "government has its own powder plant and the relations between the Dupont company and the government are such it would be unwise for any men to at tempt to -manufacture smokeless pow der.-JThe.. cost of introduction to the army and navy of . an. independent brand of powder, he said, would be as much as the capital stock of the com pany would be worth. ; Contending that lobbies -in Washin ton "were an offense rather than a benefit"" to the government, Mr. Wad dell said the Dupont company main; tained in Washington Edmund G' fBuekner, vice president of the compa ny and -the president ot tne interna tional Smokeless Power Company, who "devotes his entire time and attention to Washington business." "When I was with the company," Mr. Waddell explained, "they paid their vice presidents. $30,000 a year and 1 presume he (Mr. Buckner) is getting :a good rich salary and a liber al account for expenditures. They are as courteous as can be and spend a good deal of money In that way." 7 "We recently," saidMr. Waddell,: "have - held a: judicial ' monopoly cre atedout of the 'Dupont trust, through the Courtesy of Attorney General Wick er8haip,r which -ratifies the word r agreev ment and . gives the exclusive sale of all 'foreign smokeless powder in the United States in the hands of the Du pont company.' Mr. Waddell charged that there was a . complete .: monopoly - in the United States in ordnance and smokeless pow ders, in rifle and in shot gun smokeless sporting powders ; that heJsnew -of but One independent 'mine blasting powder company,.. and that the five or six dyV 'namite .companies ' all had the same prices ; that abont 80 companies com-: bineg into the Dupont trust ; and that for . years when f "the trust wants to drive - eontpetltors . but of -business they reduced the price. -in that district .and: get their, revenue from other sources. Col.

How and why Independent moving picture companies were combined Or absorbed to form the alleged moving picture . trust in December, 1908,, was told on the stand by Henry N. Marvin, president of the American ! Biograph Company, and of the Motion Picture Patents Company. who was a witness in the government suit to dissolve the "trust." Mr. Marvin testified that the General Film Company :was not 'organized for profit, but to protect the exhibitor and to give the public better pictures. Before the combination wis made here were 150 independent companies 'n , the United States," said Mr. Mar vin. The patents company was organ ized by nine leading film manufactur ers under an agreement to lease films "nly. to companies licensed by the Pat ents company.- Of the 150 only 116 were licensed and the. others went out if business. The manufacturers then Organized the General Film Company, luyiug 57 of the 116 licensed exchang es and cancelling the licenses of many others. Many exchanges went out of business after that, testified Marvin and, the General Film Company ac quired the business of practically all he original 150 companies. "How many of the 116 firms In busi ness before the organization of the general Film Company are now in bus ness and holding films made by manu facturers who are In the Patents com pany?" government counsel asked. "Only one," replied Marvin, naming the Greater New York Film Company. SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING. Brokers Warned by Exchange Presi dent to Stick to the Law. Chicago, January 16.

Mr. Wilson is asked to appoint former Governor E. L, Norris, of Montana; former Governor James H. Hawley, of Idaho; J.

He said that the six Senators represented States containing the bulk of the public lands and felt that they should be heard in connection with the -selection qf a secretary :of . the interior because' of his connection with the public lands. . ' , , "In our communication ' we urged that the chief problems of the Interior Department relate to the public lands, the administration and management of water resources, the administration of -Indian affairs, the development of irrigation projects and .the develop ment of the natural resources of the country," said Mr. Newlands. "There fore, we contend that it is essential that the secretary of the interior , be chosen from the school of Western experience if he is to be qualified prop erly to administer affairs of such vi tal importance to the Western people."

London, January 16 .Another day has passed ; without progress in. the peace negotiations.' The amhassador of the powers have not yet presented their collective .note to the Porte. A Constantinople . dispatch says that the delay is due to the failure of the Ger man" ambassador to receive , instruc tions from his, government. Part of the-' European ' press blames Germany, charging that she. is stand ing outside the concert of Europe and playing a game of her own. - - - - The ambassadors: at London : deny this.

Considerable! difficulty- has been ex perienced in carrying oh an exchange of yiews through code -telegf ams vand thia is explained to be the real cause of the delay. The fact that King Fer dinand of Bulgaria1, -"with -his ministers,' journeyed to Mustapha Pasha- for a council of war yesterday with ' Gen eral Sacoff and the commanders' of the four Bulgarian armies, is consider ed proof that'the Bulgarians threaten to begin the war soon in earnest. Dr. Daneff, the chief Bulgarian en- Voy, has received a long cipher tele-1 gram from the premier telling ot King Ferdinand's visit and describing the condition of the armies besieging Ad rianople and facing the Chatalja'lines. The Bulgarian soldiers, says the prem ier,, are in high spirits and eager again to measure themselves against their traditional foes. , Fugitives, all claiming to be soldiers, are escaping, from Adrianople in such numbers that the Bulgarians suspect a strategem on the part of ShukrI Pasha, the Turkish commander, to rid himself , of the burden of feeding civilians by sending them out as de serting soldiers. ; Dr. Daneff today handed to M. Jonescu, the Rumanian minister of the interior, the Bulgarian reply to the Rumanian claims respecting the. rec tification of the Debrudja frontier and the future status . of Vlach ; communi ties in the territory Turkey cedes 'to Bulgaria. ..' . . M . Jonescu will take the reply to Bucharest for submission to the cabi net. " TWO BANKERS DIFFER Their Ideas of .Currency - Reform Are Widely Divergent Washington, January 16. Two widely different plans for banking and Currency legislation were recommend ed to the House Currency Reform Committee by prominent bankers. George M. Reynolds, president of. the Chicago Continental and Commercial National Bank, and a member of the National Monetary Commission, insist ed that some central power similar, to the Central ' Reserve Association pro posed in the Monetary Commission's plan, was essential to any sound bank ing system. , W. A. Nash, chairman of the board of directors ,,of the Corn Exchange Bank and former, president of the New York, Clearing House Association, de clared pxat a central power was un necessary and proposed an association of 20 geographically located clearing houses with power to issue loan 'cer tificates convertible upon demand to government currency. . Both bankers told the committee that .it was not necessary for America to copy foreign backing methods When Chairman Glass asked for an opinion on regional reserve banks or on association with a v. supervising treasury board, Mr. Reynolds . said he thought such a plan would work if the supervising board had sufficient power and absolute control over the issue of notes. 1 KEENE'S WILL FILED Stock Operator Left Fortune of 15 Million to His Wife New YOnv January 1G.
