IYrsons who have lcon following dc

Ly of other matters of the du Pont
family and other stockholders In U. I.
du Pont de Nemours & Co. may feci that
they alo l'avc cnusu to ' m,nB nterven
tloa suits, and that n series of actions
may be broUBht which will make tho
ittaek upon the du Pont Securities Com
tany and tho other defendants a more
STrlou? one than oIHclnls of the powder
company are Inclined to admit. Thomas
F. Bayard, son of tho former Secretory
of State, Is Mrs. Perot's attorney.
frlo a nartlnl division of the du Pont
family into opposing factions Is possible
tt present. Tlcrre S du Pont, president
of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.,
Irenee du Pont, Lammot 'du Pont, Alexis
Felix du Pont, Henry V,. lu Pont and Ku-
ne E. UU l'oni are ucieniuuiu in i"
nit. as Is also H. R. Morgan Caipentcr,
nhose wife was Miss MarSctta Lammot
du Pont.
( BATAKD ALSO A FACTOR.
Althoush Philip F, du Pont nnd Mrs.
Jlobeson Lea Perot are the only mem
bers of the du Tont family, who are
definitely known to represent the oppos
ing; side. It Is bcllovcil that Thomas F.
Bayard, whose wife was Ullzabcth Brad
ford du Pont and a sister to tho com
plainant, will be a powerful Influence In
this faction.
'He Is known to have represented Mrs.
Perot In filing the Intervention suit.
,ln the opinion of lawyers of this city
additional intervention suits will com
pletely remove tho possibility of n com
promise in the struggle for control of the
E. I. duPont do Nemours Company.
Should Thlllp F. du Pont n any time
elgnlfy a desire to abandon the suit Mrs.
Perot, or any others who have Inter
Tened are empowered by law to carry the
case (o a conclusion.
anouND ron intervention.
In order to prevent Intervention suits,
the defendant must show cause why the
petitioning party should not be allowed
to join the complainant In his suit. It
la generally believed here that it would be
almost Impossible successfully to combat
the tiling of such actions, as Philip F.
du Pont has brought BUlt ns n stockholder
who believes the defendants have not
acted to the best Interests of the E. I.
du Pont de Nemours Company, despite the
fact that they are directors of that cor
poratlon, grounds on which another stoclcf
holder can readily baso nn Intervention
f Ib situation In this city Is more in-
"tta me various memuers ot tne uu
Pont family are ns yet uncertain ns to

Is It known what attitude vurlous
lals of the company who are not icl-
Jcj of the family will take. As a re-
jK of this fact, there Is a universal

Way to learn by what concern the pay
envelope had been Issued, nnd It wns
dated Mny. 1315. ,
According to Mrs. McKcnzIc the girl
first enmo to tho house Sunday a week
ago, when Hughes picsented her ns his
wlfo. He told Mrs. McKcnzIo thnt she
was employed at a downtown hotel as a
private nurse and thnt they were not liv

to his drinking habits.
The girl left tho following morning, Mrs.
McKrnzIc told the police, nnd did not re
turn until New Ycnr's Day, when she nnd
Hughes went to their room. Since then
neither has been seen, nnd It Is believed
thnt they remained In the house both

North 7th street, and part of a postcard,
with an nddress at 43 North 13th street.

WALLING ASCENDS
T.0 HIGHEST BENCH
Erie County's Favorite Son Now
Justice of Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania
Krie County's favorite son. Judge
Kmory A. vailing, was elevated to the
State Supreme Court today In the chnm
her of that tribunal In City Hall.
It was n tremendously solemn, though
simple, occasion.
It took exactly two and one-half min
utes to make Judge Availing, of the
Courts of Erie County, Into Justice Wall
ing, of Pennsjlvanla's highest court.
There were only three actors: "hlef
Justice J, Hay Ilrown, of Lancaster: ex
Governor WHIInm H, Stone, now tho Pro
thonotary. nnd last and most Important,
Judge Walling himself.
The Chief Justice nsked Mr. Stone to
rend the contm lion from Governor
Urumbnugh naming Judge Walling to the
vnenncy cnused by Judge F.lkln's denth.
The commission was read, nnd Judge
Walling stepped up nnd took tho oath.
That was the way It wns done. It was
the "atmosphere" of the occasion that
made an event out of a. mere occurrence.
Judge Walling Is known ns the favorite
ron nnd foremost citizen of Hrlo County.
For the last 20 years he has been n Judgo
In that county, having been elected to
the bench In 1S6 ns successor to Judge
Frank Ounnlson, nnd re-elected In 1WM
without opposition. Ho received the sup
port of the Itcpubllcnn, Uemocrntlc and
Lincoln parties. He was the only man
ever re-elected to the bench In Krie
I County, nnd the Democrats rallied to Mm
on tho strength of his personality, for he
had been a stanch Itcpubllcnn nil his life.
Before he went to tho bench Judge
Wnlllng wns the leader of the Erie Coun
ty bar. Ho q tho second ot thnt county's
citizens to serve In the Htnto's highest
tribunal. Chief Justice Thompson wns
the first.
Few of Judge Waiting's decisions havo
been reversed, nnd In his service he hns
had less than n dozen disagreements by
Juries, nnd hns grnntcd less than that
number of new trlnls.
