WILMINGTON, Del., Juty 20,-For the
purpose of handling tho work of guartl
51 Mb tno powder plants or we company
In various places nnd such other police
work as may bo necessary tho Du Pont
Powder Company now has an elaborate
pollco department It Is part of tho
department In charge of R. It M. Car
penter, who Is n brother-in-law of Pierre
B. du Pont nnd one of tho most popular
of tho young powder officials. Major
Diehard Sylvester, who was formerly In
charge of the pollco force of Washington,
D. C, Is the chief of the police depart
ment This department handles tho guards ut
all of tho planta owned by the company,
and In case detectives should bo neces
sary for special work this department
lilroa them. No matter where tho special
cfllcoTB are omploycd, thoy aro under the
direction of Major Sylvester.
No man Is taken as a guard unlets his
reputation is known.
Men who have had experience In the
regular army or as pollco ofllcers nro pre
ferred, becauso It Is hold they aro more
used to discipline and understand tho
necessity for carrying out orders.
If a man applying for a position should
Blve President Wilson as one of his ref
erences tho company would probably
write to the President "Pull" counts-for
nothing. If a big official of tho country
recommends a man ho must go through
'the samo routlno of Investigation. The
local office Is In touch with what goes on,
The pollco 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 tho country nt thin
time. Contrary to somo of tho published
reports, it Is not composed of toughs, but
of men who have Intelligence, and in most
cases have had experience. Thoy have
nerve, for nerve Is ono of tho require
ments of the position, and a man without
It would be no good.
The first thing which tho men are
taught Is that they are to be no re
specters of persons. Should Mr. Carpen
ter himself go to a plant tho guards
would hold him up until ho showed his
pass and. if considered nccesBary by tho
guard, Identified himself as tho man for
whom tho pass was Issued. Plerro S. du
Pont, the head of the powder company,
would have to have a similar paBS. If
he desired to get Into Carney Point for
Instance, his pass would have to .be signed
by tho man In charge of tho plant. Ho
1b the man who Is responsible, and even
the president of tho company would not
for a moment Interfere, with any of his
powers.
"Cop-Slugging Bertie" in Again
"Cop-slugging Bertie," Just out of Jail '
a week, is in tho confines of tho law
again today. Bernard Qulnn, 3184 Bel
grade street, aa ho is known on tho pollco
records, walked Into the dry goods stor
of Jacob Dacclenwlcz and demanded
money, at tho same time helping himself
to two bolts of muslin. Jacob yelled for
a policeman while "Bertie" bolted with
the bolts. Officer Brown came to the res
cue and after an all night man hunt
Anally cornered "Bertie" in a saloon. He
was .held In $600 ball for a. further hearing.

Continued from FaA One
Secretary Daniels pointed out that there
appeared no evldoneo In this Incident of
a olot In connection with the recent fires
oh the battleships Alabama, fll Phlladel
phla, and the New Jersey, at Boston. In
each Of these cases, he flnld, the. blaze
had been traced to defective cltrlcnt
wiring. He suggested that the Oklahoma,
nrft might be tho third of n series of ac
cidents which the superstitious seriously
believe to come Ihrce at n tlmo."
Guards about tho plant have been re
doubled today and admission Is denied to
every one not connected with the com
pany. A rigid Investigation will bo start
ed as soon nil the great pumps now at
work clear the compartment Where tho
(Ires raged of tons of water.
. Tho most significant fact of the fires
was that they occurred In the same place
as tho blaze on tho bnttleuhlD Alabama
nnd on the battleship Now Jersey. Flro
was discovered on tho Alnbama. on July
11, whllo the battleship, was thronged
with visitors at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. Tho New Jersey woo discovered to
be on fire at tho Charleston Navy Yard,
Doston, July 15, In each Instance tho firs
was beneath No. 1 turret. There also
was a flro recently on tho warship San
Francisco at Maro Island Navy Yard, on
the rnctflc coast, that tho Navy Depart
ment has been Investigating.
Oftlclals of tho New York Shipbuilding
Company refused to discuss tho blnzi to
day. They say they know nothing, save
whnt they have seen In tho newspapers,
and will have no statements to make
until tho wnter Is pumped out of tho Ok
lahoma and nn Investigation can be made.
It was pointed out by II. A. Magoun,
vice president of the compnny, that any
thtnp that may be said nowls pure specu
lation, ills Idea U thnt the fire was
started by crossed wires. Tho part

tho heavy wooden shoring that hnd not
been removed from tho dreadnought, oIbo
tho cork caulking that lines tho ship as
an Insulation.
SPY SCARES REVIVED.
Spy scarcB came to Ilfo with renewed
vigor today following tho fires. League
Island, Cramps, tho Frankford Arsenal
and all other plants having anything to
do with war suppttcs cither for this
country or tho warring nations of Europe
became unusually vigilant. Visitors were
subjected to cloeo scrutiny and thoso who
did not seem to have somo legitimate er
rand wero kept always In reach of a
cvnrd.
'Cnmdcn Is stirred by tho blazo on the
Oklahoma as It haB nevor been before.
Thousands of residents of tho city across
the river followed tho clanging flro en
gines to tho New York shipbuilding plant
lato last night and at 2 o'clock this morn
ing thero was still a throng outside the
big plant, speculating on the cause of tho
'blaze.
Tho first Arc was discovered nt 6:30
o'clock last night . Firemen had difficulty
getting into tho compartment owing to
the thick black smoke. This smoko Is
tho basis for most of tho suspicions
as to tho origin of the flames. Whnt
woodwork there was In the vessel would
not mako It. It was not thought the cork
caulking would burn so freely.
After an hour of pouring water Into tho
compartment firemen thought thoy had
extinguished the flames. Most of tho cn
glno companies started to return to their
quarters, but a short tlmo later they
wero recalled. Later this happed a third
time.
FIREMEN OVERCOME.
John Garrlty, a flrcman overcome whllo
trying to get Into the ship, said that ho
found the caulking burning to a depth In
the vessel equivalent to the height of a
flve-Btory building. Garrlty was revived
at his cngino house. Two other firemen
ovcrcomo by smoke In fighting tho ffomea
wero revived by ambulanco physicians, on
tho scene.
Hundreds of tons of water were pumped
Into tho big steel ship by the Ashbrldge
and tho King before tho smoko ceased
pouring from the decks. A doublo cordon
of jrunrds was thrown about tho plant
Immediately after the first alarm had
been sounded, and a search of the prem
ises was made. It was said today that a
stranger might have entered the yards
while the night shift was going to work.
Motorboats, rowboats and sailboats filled
with curious rivermen, denied admittance
to the plant this morning, dotted the Dela
ware off the ship building plant Nearly
everybody seemed to have a camera to
take photographs of the big dreadnought.
CLOSE WATCH KEPT.
The would-be invaders of the plant by
water became so many after a while that
more guards wero stationed on the river
front. They kept boats well beyond land
ing distance and watched everything.
The contract for the supertlrcndnought
Oklahoma was received by the New York
Ship Building Company In 1912. The keel
wns lam soon arter tho contract was
signed. Th vessel Is larger than the
supcrdreadnought Pennsylvania In dis
placement, but does not possess a battery
as strong as the warship which Is named
after this State. Her specified speed of
21 knots Is also one knot less than the
Pennsylvania, She 1b a sister ship of the
Nevada. Tho contract price for each is
$3,O00,C0O for the hull nnd machinery. The
Oklahoma was launched a year ago.
Work Is being rushed on the vessel and
It was expected to deliver It to the Gov
ernment about September 30. Her de
livery will be delayed by the Are,
The water line length of the Oklahomn
Is 675 feet. She has a beam of 95 feet
3 Inches. Her'dlsplacement Is 27,800 tons.
Her battery consists of 10 14-Inch 45
calibre guns, arranged In turrets so all
can be fired at once. These 11-Inch guns,
with American Bailors behind tim. aro
said to be as effective as the 15-Inch guns
of the much-praised Queen Elizabeth, of
tho British navy. As a secondary bat
tery the supcrdreadnought carries 21 5
lnch ,51 calibre guns, She also haB four
torpedo tubes, each of 21 Inches, and 16
searchlights.

MORE ARRESTS TO BE

VOTING LIST PROBE
Small Property Owners De
termined to Carry Fight
Against "Millionaires" to
Finish,' Detectives Work
ing on Case.
More arrests nro likely to be made In
the "padded" voting list probe of Haver
ford township, following that yesterday
afternoon of Heglstratlon Assessor J. P.
Planklngton, of Oakmont
E. H. Bryant, of Brookllne, the private
detocttve. who Is conducting tho Investi
gation of the voting list of Havcrford
township, this moinlrig obtained the full
assessor's ,11st for the township nnd la
going over It carefully, cheoklng up each
name.
"Wo shall certainly make other arrests,
If, as we expect, we find false registra
tion In other parts of tho township," said
Mr. Bryant. '. "I have Instructions to
probe this matter to tho bottom and to
sparo no one."
Registration Assessor Planklngton was
arrested on complaint of Prof, A. G, Ellis,
of Jefferson Medical College, who resides
In Oakmont, The assessor wns nr
ralgncd at a preliminary hearing last
night at the flrchousc In Mllburno, and
he wns held In $1000 ball for a further
hearing next Monday night.
With this arrest tho long-throatonliig
contest between the small property own
ers nnd the "millionaire" colony of
Havcrford township has como to o. head.
It was charged that on the asioBsor'a
list were 113 names of men who cither
moved from tho township or were un
known. Two years ngo there were a great many
Italians nnd negroes employed on work
on tho railroad In and about Hnverford.
Almost without exception these men
lived ln Hnverford township nnd their
names wero put upon tho voting lists
Within tho last six months the majority
of these laborors have moved away from
tho township, and It Is charged that tho
registration assessors did not take the
trouble to removo their names from tho
voting lists.
Recently somo COO letters wero sent out
to voters In Hnverford township, and out
of that number 113 were returned with
the postofflco notification that tho ad
dressees had cither removed or could not'
bo found. As this list of 118 names docs
not Include all of the Italians and negrnes
who lived In" tho township nt tho tlmo of
the rallrlnd construction work, It Is
charged by tho small property owners
thnt thero a still greater number of faUo
names upon' the voting lists of the town
ship. Repeated demands from some of tho
taxpayers to allow them to Inspect tho
voting lists wore met by refusal on tho
part of the registration assessors. De
termined to force the Inspection of these
HstB, tho arrest of Mr. Planklngton wns
obtained.

profitably at prevailing Boston rates. It is proper to state that, including classified advertising, the Globe has the
largest volume of total advertising. The Transcript, unlike the four other papers, has no Sunday edition.
