SCHWAB DEFIES
MORGAN GROUP
IN STEEL WAR
Huge War Contracts and
Control of Planta Make
; Him Master of
j Situaton
SUPPORTED BY DU PONTS
BErriirjsaiBM, pa.. spt .-As it in.
dlvlduallK Interested, all the people of
Bethlehem are talking about the treat
iteel flht that I on between Charles M.
Schwab and 3. P. atorfan, and all are
betting on Mr. Schwab
It Is common tal(c here thai Schwab not
enly owns the Cramp shipyard, but, to
rt ther with the du Font, control! the
BaMwIn Locomotive Works.
Schwab lone ago had a "fall-out" with
jlr. Morgan'! father. That, at the time,
meant the retirement of Schwab a pres
Ident of the United State Bteel Corpora
tion. William EUls Corer euccetded him.
Schwab soon became matter of Bethle
hem, and when he broke the bank at
Monte Carlo. Andrew Carnegie made such
a fan about It that the Scotch seer laid:
Charley, If you don't give up your Rtv
erilde Drive bouse, and stick to the lob
it Bethlehem, there will be trouble."
Schwab took the hint, moved here, and
when the war brok out last year was
In better shape than any other Iron and
steel man In the world to do business.
SCirWAB DBAT8 MORGAN.
Schwab, right after hostilities began,
tackled Lord Kitchener and came back
with 130,000.000 worth of contracts. Very
soon after that the war developed on
such a big scale that England had to
turn to the house of Morgan as Its Amer
ican fiscal agent. Young J. P. Morgan
did not, and does not, like Schwab, but
ty the time Morgan woke up, Schwab
htd him tied up. Schwab had the fore
sight of the Germans, from whom he
sprang, to make his plant the same per
fect engine of war that the Krupp plant
Is In Germany. It la now recognized
that Schwab was "awfully smart" In
making contracts With the Du Fonts.
Within the last few weeks Mr. Morgan
has shown his hand In trying to check
Schwab. Morgan and 'Schwab are not
personal enemies, but bitter business
rivals. Schwab, by reason of his master
ful business foresight and executive abil
ity, has been In a position to command
his own price for the munitions of war
that Morgan needed as tho agent of ths
Allies In America. Morgan has been get
ting only his banker's commission, nut
none of the profits that come from manu
facture. GAIN CONTROL OF BALDWIN'S.
Therefore, Morgan has determined to
establish rival plants, and his first move
has been to buy the Mldvale plant In
Philadelphia. There la also a fight for
control of the Baldwin plant, which, In
addition to locomotives. Is finely equipped
for the production of shells and other
things needed by the warring nations.
For the last two weeks Schwab has been
in Philadelphia every day. His excellent
humor and the remarks he has been mak
ing Indicate he feels that Morgan will not
get the Baldwin plants. Schwab and the
Du Fonts and, of course, their backers
and associates, have now bought up so
Much of the Baldwin atock that they no
longer fear Morgan can gain control.
AN ANECDOTE.
The reannearance of Mr. Corey os an
active steel manufacturer, through his
connection with the Mldvale purchase,
recalls an Incident which has never been
forgotten by Mr. Schwab's friends, when
he and Mr. Corey were chums In the old
Pittsburgh days. At a reception one night
Mrs. Schwab said to Corey: "Ellis, please
tell me If rumor Is true that you want
to divorce your wife and marry an
actress. If It be true. EUls, you shall
never darken my doors again."
That vtife the first intimation that
Corey wanted to break away from tho
Mlfe of his yputh and marry Mabel Gil
man. To the direct question of Mrs.
Schwab at the time he made an evasive
answer, but her question was prophetic.
The men of the ateel crowd probably
yould not have cared much, but tho
women, aroused by the Indignation of
Mrs. Schwab, ostracised EUls and the
nty? Mrs. Corey, who, until lately, have
uvea m France.
Corey, according to family gossip In
Met! circles, has linked his hatred of
Schwab, who, of course, stuck to his lov
aWe wWe, with the dislike of Morgan,
sad now the fight Is on to get the war
profits through a rival organization.

Today was the last day possible for
the calling together of Councils to pass
the preliminary legislation necessary to
the placing of a loan before the .voters.
No action was taken by the members of
the Finance Committee, and urgent needs,
such as the necessary M,000 to bring
back the Liberty Dell and various sums
for departmental work, will be secured
by transfer frdm Items not expended.
While the need for a new permanent
loan la frankly admitted, members of the
Finance Committee decided that this
would be an, inopportuno time to frame
a loan that would necessarily Include
-provision for the continuance of tho mnny
permanent municipal improvements
planned by the Blankenburg administra
tion. This decision Indicates already
that the ewe or the loan may bo gov

of the coming municipal election.
In support of their failure to place a
loan bill before the voters this fall Coun
cilman! a financiers say that the money
for permanent Improvements Is not an
immediate necessity and that funds pro
vided In the past will carry on Improve

BAPTISTS HEAR REPORTS
Delegates at Lansdale Discuss Many
Church-Business Problems
The second day of the celebration of
the SSth anniversary of the North Phila
delphia Association of Baptist Churches
opened this morning in the First Baptist
Church, of Lansdale, Fa., with more than
200 persons In attendance. The meeting
was opened with a devotional service,
followed by a business session devoted,
in the main, to the reading of church
letters and the reports of committees.
Other features of the morning service
comprised the election of trustees and of
a Missionary Committee, and reports on
the Baptist Orphanage, the Baptist Home,
the Baptist Institute and the Historical
Society.
This afternoon tho ministers and lay
men attending the anniversary ceieora
Photographs of spirits were taken by
ordinary cameras trained against a black
curtain and by films placed In an en
velope on the forehead of Mrs. Mar
guerite du Pont Lee, sister of Alfred I.
du Pont, of the great powder-making
firm, according to the report of the Amer
ican Society for Psychical Research, just
Issued. Dr. James H. Hyslop, secretary
of the society, directed the preparation
of the report and personally verified
many of the tests, he says.
Other phenomena Included in the re
port are tales of how the Balkan war was
foretold by an oulja board and messages
from William T. Stead, who died on the
Titanic. In one such message, It Is said
that Mr. Stead told those who received It
that ha could not "cheapen his life
work" by responding to the calls of all
mediums. It also Is set forth In the
same message that Mr. Stead said he was
being expected to appear In "every circle,
every seance and every sitting where
a medium holds forth."
The spirit photographs are described by
Dr. Hyslop under the title "Some Unusual
Phenomena In Photography." He says
that spirit photography has been a claim
for more than a half century, adding that
"a psychlo researcher can hardly an
nounce any unusual Incident without
being Involved in the suspicions which
have centred around that subject for this
whole period." He then says that
"readers would be hasty It they take the
title of this psper to imply nnythlng
assertively or even doubtfully o( a
spiritistic nature."
MESSAGE CAME IN 'WRITING.
Mrs. Lee, It Is set forth, has built an
Institution for charity work to which
she devoted herself. 8he had known a
Mr. Kemper Bocock, an Episcopal clergy
man who was Interested In- the Vfork.
He died a few yeara ago, and, according
to Doctor Hyslop. "apparently gave rise
to automatic writing by Mrs. Lee. This
automatic writing one day told tier she
could take photographs."
Mrs. Lee then bought a camera and
took pictures of herself and of paintings
of Mr. Bocock. After about three months
white balls of light appeared In the photo
graphs, the chair became visible through
the Image of the paintings, faces not ac
counted for showed in the pictures, as did
a lamp not tn the focus of the camera.'
Mrs. Lee became certain sne was medium
lstlc with the camera, the report says.
She wrote to Doctor Hyslop.
"Of course," she said, "to a person like
myself, who has had along other lines
a great many wonderful psychic expe
riences, and who Is, moreover, cjulto
clairvoyant, the photographs present no
difficulties."
She then asked Doctor Hyslop to in
vestigate. William M. Kceler. formerly a
professional spirit photographer, and now
employed In photogrsphler-worlr by the
nnvarnmmt. at Washington, developed
the Alms first. Under the direction of'
Doctor Hyslop, Mrs. Lee took some pic
tures' that he was sure would obviate
ouble negatives or other accidents.

New Jersey Women Say Liquor .In

TRENTON, X. J., Sept. .-In response
to queries from many banking Jnstllut
tlons, Governor Fielder has obtained f,rom
Attorney General Weseott an opinion
holding that Tuesday, October It, -when
the woman suffrage amendment and
other constitutional amendments are to
be voted upon, Is not a legal holiday.
The conclusion Is based on the fact that
the constitution and statute law of to
day governing the Issue are the same ss
sixteen yesrs ago, when a similar ques
tion was decided by the late Attorney
General Gray. The opinion announced,
today Is interpreted to mean here that
saloons, hotel bars and all licensed
places where liquor Is sold are not re
quired to close during the polling hours
as on a general election day.
If this Interpretation remains un
changed, and It Is likely to stand, accord
ing to a number or constitutional lawyers.

Myers, Undaunted by Partner's Ab
sence, Starts Today on 3000-Mile Hike
If you can't get any one to help you,
do it alone.
This Is what Edwin Myers said today
as ho started on a walk to San Fran
Cleco. It is about 2960 long and weary
miles to the Golden Gate, but Myers has
had plenty of muscle-hardening walking
practice In the last two days, looking for
his partner who "backed out" at the last
minute Monday, the day originally set
for tho start. This partner, William
Lelbovits, J42 South 7th street, has dis
appeared. Myers says, and be suspects
that "cold feet" prevented him under
taking the trip.
Mvers, who lfves at 701 Jackson street,
a nrlnter. He Is suro that he can hike
the distance to San Francisco. Clad la
khaki leggings and a gray shirt, ho will
leave the Eveotno Leixjbk Building
shortly after noon, dragging a little ex
press wagon. behind him. This wagon
contains the stationery which ho will sell
to pay his expenses and free photographs
or himself whloh so with every purchase.
He will alae sell tho Evxwnu LxDaaa
along his marching rwte out Walnut

Walking Is lnly. I' ' W aryu r

taken in that pose In life. The photo,
Mrs. Lee says, was obtained by directing
the camera at a black curtain In Mr.
Reefer's studio.
"No scientific man," says Doctor Hys
lop of this, "would accept results pro
duced and developed by Mr. Keeler, es
pecially since he persistently refused to
permit the kind of experiment necessary
to vindicate him against the suspicion of
fraud. I tried to get some sittings with
him. but he would not answer my letters,
even though I sent stamped and ad
dressed envelopes for reply,"
Mrs. Lee also took a picture of a human
brain, by Inclosing a plate In an envelope
and placing it on her forehead. It re
mained there' for one and three-quarters
hours. By the some method tho .following
message was obtained from Mr. Bocock:
'This Is my signature far tho preface of
the history." This woo followed by the
signature.
Sir W. F. Barrett, F. Jt. 8., contributed
to the report the description of how the
Balkan War as foretold. Experiments,
he says, were conducted by a group of
members of the Dublin, Ireland, branch
of the Society for Psychical Research.
The sitters sat blindfolded, their Angers
on a triangular board on which was a
pointer, free to move, and in which the
alphabet was printed. The pointer, it Is
said, picked out this message:
"Blood, blood, everywhere In tho near
East. A great nation will fall and a
small natloit will rise, A great religion
will stand In danger. Blood everywhere,
News that "will astonish the civilized
world, will come to hand within the next
week."
This was followed within a week by
the great victory of the Bulgarians at
Kirk Klllsseh, Sir Barrett writes.
