MONEY KINGS
IN STEEL WAR
TO THE DEATH
Morgan and Corey Buy
- JVfidvale to Escape Grip
of Schwab
OIiD GRUDGES. REVIVED
Two Former Trust Heads in
! Mighty Fight for
Control
(Analysis of rumors and reports arising
from the sales of the Mldvale Steel
"Works of this city and tho Cambria
Bteel Company today Indicates that two
enormous new steel concerns, worthy
irlvnls of the United States Steel Cor
poration, are In the making.
. The greatest captains of Industry In
the. United State are behind these plans,
forming two powerful groups, ono of
'Pennsylvanlans and one of New Yorkers,
'In a race for supremacy In tho manu
facture of munitions.
f On one side are the Morgan Interests,
'flanked by W, n. Corey, former presi
dent of tho Steel Trust; K. C. Converse,
Percy A. Rockefeller, Ambrose I. Mo
'nell and Frank A. Vanderllp.
On the other sldo are Charles M.
Schwab, Alfred t. du Pont, head of tho
great powder-making Interests, nnd Ef
fingham D Morris, president of the Gl
Tard Trust Company and director of nu
.merous railroads and steel companies.
Mldvale has been sold three times
within the last few weeks, according to
the New York World. William A. Head
& Co., and Montgomery, Clothier & Co.
first bought control for J19.000.000. They
'added ROOOkOOO to this figurew They
to Percy A. Rockefeller and tho "City
Bank group" of New York nnanclcrs.
The price then was jumped to 522,000,000
and control of the company transferred
to the Conversc-Corcy-Monell party,
backed by the Morgan Interests.
REFUSED WAR CONTRACT8.
t Mldvale Steel has taken no war con
tracts so far. A daughter of Charles
Jefferson Harrah, president of the com
pany, Is married to a German. This is
said to have been the reason why the
'company would not accept war contracts.
With the Mldvale out of the bidding,
Charles M. Schwab has had virtual con
trol of the munitions situation. Mldvale
;ls one, of the few plants outside of the
Bethlehem Steel Company that Is pro
'Vided with modern equipment for armor
plate and heavy ordnance. Here vlrtu
ually all plate for Government battleships
Is made. It has been a rival to Schwab
4n peace times, but It did not compete
5wlth him In the European market.
According to the World, relallons be
tween Schwab and the Morgan Interests
"have been distinctly unfriendly since his
elimination from the United States Steel
Corporation In 1903. But at the outbreak
tf the war, when the Morgan Interests
became the financial agents of tho Allies,
iX. war found that Schwab was Indis
pensable to them. The Pennsylvania
'ateel king took full advantage of this
.'situation. It Is said. He exacted his own
rIoo for war material. For a year the
.Morgan Interests, helpless, have had to
d Riejt Ills figures.
MORGAN FORCED TO BUY.
This condition decided tho Morgan in
terests to buy up the Mldvale and thus
become Independent of Schwab, It is said.
It Is now apparent that Mr. Schwab be
came aware of some such Intention. He
Immediately became active, but no inkling
ef the stupendous contest for supremacy
In the making of munitions of war leaked
out until Mr. Schwab yesterday came to
this city and conferred with Mr. du Pont
and later with Mr. Morris.
The rlans of this Pennsylvania group
are no whit less ambitious than those of
the New Yorkers. Henry C. Frlck, said
to be the largest individual stockholder
of the Pennsylvania Railroad and asso
ciated with tho Interests about to obtain
control of the Cambria Steel Company, Is
said to be with the Pennsylvanlans.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works of this
city is said to be included In the plans of
the Pennsylvanlans for a great combina
tion to compete with that being created
by the Morgan Interests. Every effort,
naturally, is being made to keep details
secret until the plans are consummated.
Alba B. Johnson, president of the Bald
win Locomotive Works, adopted his cus
tomary policy when questioned. He de
clined either to deny or affirm the report
that the workshad been or was about to
be sold.

The most imposing spectacle In the his
tory of the Knights Templar of Pennsyl
vania was staged on the wide Belmont
plateau of Fairmount Park this after
noon, at the 15th annual field day. Tho
ceremonies on the field started with tho
famous and inspiring salute to tho flag,
and the day ended with the unfurling
of a great American flag ahd a special
salute by the Sir Knights to clinch the
pledge made early this year that the
Knights would rally to the cause If ever
the nation needed defense,
The start for Belmont was mado from
the Masonic Temple, where tho Knights
gathered at 2 o'clock this afternoon They
marched to Broad Street Station and
boarded a special train for the field. At
Belmont they formed Into companies of
24 Knights each for the salute, holding
aloft their shining swords. The Knights
then re-formed, for a. review by Right
Eminent Sir Bradley W Lewis, granl
commander, and other officers of the
Grand Commandery.
A special stand, from which every part
of the big field may be seen, was erected.
It was filled with the wives and families
of the Sir Knights participating in the
great spectacle.
After the leviews and drills several
hours were given up to the usual ex
change of courtesies between the Knights
and their ocera, A feature was a
special exhibition drill of a picked squad

SCHOOL WALL COLLAPSES
Workman Escapes Death by Clinging
to Cable ,
A part of the wall of an annex of the
Sharswood public school, in courso of
construction at 2d and Wolf streets, col
lapsed this afternoon, causing tremend
ous excitement in the neighborhood.
None of the mechanics at work on the
building was injured. A witness of the
accident telephoned for a detachment of
police from the 4th street and Snyder
avenue station, but the presence of the
patrolmen was unnecessary, A workman
was sealed on a huge stone that was be
ing inserted in the wall when the struc
ture fell. The stone dropped to the
ground, but the man seized a cable that
was attached to the building and his llfo
was saved. He was suspended In mid
aid for five1 minutes, until several com
panions rescued him.

DETECTIVES GET MAN
WHO SHOT CAMPBELL
Continued from Taga One
day that a man answering the description
of tho murderer was registered at tho
Keystone Hotel. Detectives Isaacs and
Morlarlty Immediately went to tho place
and found Anderson at tho bar. While
Morlarlty engaged him In conversation,
Isaacs went to the man's room and found
a revolver holster containing 10 auto
matio cartridges for nn automatic re
olver which were similar to tho empty
cartridges found by Detectives Callahan
and Mnhoney In Campbell's saloon. Ills
arrest followed.
When searched n pawn ticket for the
revolver was found In his possession. The
weapon had been pawned at a placo on
Market Btreet near 15th this morning.
Anderson told the detectives he Is a ma
chinist and camo to this city to find work.
He displayed a letter addressed to him
by tho Remington Arms Company, at Ed
dystone, acknowledging his application
for employment.
A telegram received at the hotel today
and addressed to Anderson has been
turned over to Lieutenant of Detectives
Emanuel. Tho message, .which came from
Ardmore, Okla., is signed "Papo," and
apparently Is In answer to one sent to
his family by tho accused man, asking
for funds. It reads:
"J. F. Anderson, care Keystone Hotel:
"Will not send you ono cent more.
"PAPA."
Tho man,, tho police, say, said he had
been drinking last night and walked out
Market street to Mogutro's saloon at "350
Market street, whero ho ha'd flashed the
revolver In the faco of the burtendef and
two customers, chasing them from the
side door to tho main entrance and back
again. Why ho did this ho could not ex
plain. Ho then walked back to Campbell's
place at 22d and Market streets, he said,
and going to the bar asked for a drink.
Campbell is alleged to have said, "Get
out of here," according to Anderson, and
walked Into the backroom.
"I was afraid ho was going to set a
club nnd beat me up," detectives say
Anderson told them, "so I walked Into
tho room after him and as he turned I
fired."
Anderson said that he then wnlked
back to the hotel and went to bed.
Michael Boyle, one of the proprietors of
the Keystone Hotel, and a personal friend
of Campbell, read of his friend's untimely
death this morning, nnd Immediately
went to the Detective Bureau and told
Captain Cameron that he believed the
murderer was at his hotel.
"I was suspicious of the man ever since
ho registered at the hotel on Thursday,"
he said, "and when I read of the murder
of Campbell and the description of the
murderer I was firmly convinced that
Anderson did it. The man was slightly
Intoxicated when he came to the hotel
and his later actions were such as to
make us watch him carefully.
"Last night, after the murder occurred,
Anderson came In smoking a cigar. He
appeared calm and spoke to several per
sons and then went to bed."
Tho shooting occurred about 8:40 last
night, according to the police. Mrs. Camp
bell, who was putting tier two chlldien
to bed on the second floor, heard a re
volver shot, which she ignored for a
moment, believing ft to be an automobile
tire blow-out.
"That sounded like a revolver shot In
the saloon,", said, her brother,, James Mo
Glinn, Jr., who was shaving in the bath
room at the time. "You "had better go
downstairs and see."
Mrs. Campbell went downstairs and
found her husband lying In a pool of
blood in the back room. She ran scream
ing Into the. street and attracted the at
tention of Horace II. Boss, of 3102 North
25th street, and Lawrence Murray, of
"iVn Oermantown avenue, employes of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who were
returning home from work.
When told what had happened the men
said that man had rushed exxcltedly from
tho saloon and brushed past them, and
together with Policeman Lehey, who had
arrived on the scene, they went In search
of the murderer. He had disappeared,
Campbell was sent to the Medlco-Chl
Hospital, where he died shortly before
midnight. The bullet had passed through
hi mouth and lodged In the base of the
brain.

SOLOMON NEEDED TO PICK
PARENTAGE OF BABY U-BOAT
Secretary Daniels Faces Problem in
Ford-Parker Controversy
NEW YORK. Sept. 25. The fatherhood
of tho "baby submarine," which is ns yet
in an unborn state, except In tho minds
of Inventors, probably will havo to be
decided by Secretory Daniels' naval
board of Inventions, it appeared today.
Henry Ford claims the parentage.
Prof. Herschel C. Parker says It's his
offspring.
Neither of them has built one, 'and
nobody knows whether it would run even
If It wero built.
"Who Is Parker, anyhow?" queries
Ford. "I never heard of him."
"That's possible," said Parker today.
"There's probably lots of things he never
heard of. Maybe he never heard of tho
North Pole."
Ford has said It was merely an Idea of
his which he had not yet worked out,
but which he was working on. Parker
said he had drawn plans, which had been
sent to Ford last spring, becaus e he
thought the automobile magnate might be
willing to back the plan as a public
spirited citizen for national defense.
Parker said he got an impertinent re
ply from on under secretary.
"I think his naroe was Anderson," said
Parker,
"I never received my plans for my sub
mersible pill from any Parker, neither
did my secretary," said Ford,
Professor Parker formerly was a Co
lumbia professor. He was the first man
to climb Mount McKlnley and say that
Debtor Cook didn't. Ho is the author of
many scientific books and member of
many scientific societies,
Henry Ford makes automobiles.

developing Into one of the most bitter
minor struggles of years, extended the
feeling that had developed between tho
two camps in the threo disputed wards
to all parts of the city, and today the
Vare and McNIchol followers In every
ward controlled by tho Organlzotlon are
facing each other In battle-line forma
tion. McCurdy was originally slated as tho
Organization candldato for tho Orphans'
Court, after tho Organization leaders had
all apparently decided to throw down
Judgo Dallett, who was seeking re-election
because he had refused to appoint a
follower of David II. Lane to a court Job
eight years ago.
A few days before the primary election
however, word went nround that "the
McCurdy-Dallett matter was up In tho
air" Strong Influences had been brought
to bear upon tho Organization leaders to
gain their support for Dallett.
Late Monday aftornoon of this vreek,
a few hours before tho opening of tho
polls, word was passed nround that Mc
NIchol would support Dallett. At the
same 'time, tho report was spread that
McCurdy would withdraw,
McNIchol sought McCurdy nil Monday
nlsht, sending his henchmen to every
placo where ho thought McCurdy might
be. McCurdy had taken tha advice of
political powers favorable to his candi
dacy and had slipped quietly out of the
city.
Tho Vares lined up solid behind Mc
Curdy, refusing, together with minor
powers llko David H. Lane, David Mar
tin, Edward W. Patton and others, to
change at the eleventh hour the orders
they had previously Issued to their
followers. McCurdy received a majority
of 20,000 over Dallet at the primary
election.
Senator McNIchol, It was learned to
day, has redoubled his efforts since Tues
day to get McCurdy off the ballot for the
election In November. He has represent
atives searching all through the city and
through every resort along the South
Jersey coast to find McCurdy's hiding
place.
Friends of McCurdy assert that this Is
the fourth time within 16 years that Mc
NIchol has attempted to throw McCurdy
down, after promising him a Judgeship.
He promised him Judgeships on threo
other occasions, they said today, and then
prevailed upon him to stay 'out of the
race at the last minute and remain in
Councils to look after McNIchol's inter
ests there. McCurdy's friends point out
that McNIchol desires to keep. McCurdy
In Councils as president of the lower
chamber "because he knows he can go
to sleep knowing that his Interests will
be looked after, with McCurdy in Coun
cils." The Organization followers and worker
have been told In every ward in tho city
that their goal this year Is a Republi
can sweep, as a preliminary to a national
Republican victory next year. They can
not understand how Ryan received the
40,000 votes In the McNIchol wards, when
only 10,000 Democratic votes were cast In
the entire city, and are asserting that Mc
NIchol cut Wessel and threw the votes to
Ryan.
The independents are taking advantage
of the situation and are rejoicing over the
prospects of a bitter factional fight.
