-THE) GREAT POWDER ROMANCE
STORY OF MEN AND MILLIONS
Continued from Vntc One
fred Victor and Henry tin Tout, sons of
Eleuthero Ireneo itu Pont, successfully
enrrletl the concern through the disas
trous pnnlo of 1S37. Hi that venr Alfred
victor Uu Pont became president of tho
Company nnd retained Hint olllce unlll
It wns tnken over by his brother, Henry
Jll Pont In I860. The Iritter continued ns
chlfcf executive of tho company until his
denth In 1SS9
In tho rricnntlme the du Pouts hnd sup
piled powder for tho Motlcnii n.id Crimean
tvrtrs and had been Inrsclv responsible for
the success of the I'Ydornllsti In the Civil
War, There hnd been explosions, nnd
time after tlmo the powder manufactur
ing plant hnd been totnlly destroyed.
Among these disasters wni that of 137,
In which Alexis lienec du Pont was killed.
Ha wan a brother of Alfted Victor und
Henry du Pont.
None of tho explosions crushed the du
Pont spirit. Knch time the rumpntiy le
hnbllltnted Itself tnnd continued business
on nn enlarged stale. IlNploslVoi lind
been brought Into coniniorclnl use for
blnstlng tunnels', mining ro.tl nnd other
minerals, and for farming. Tho conse
quent growth of 1'. I. du Pont de .e
mours' & Co was llttlo short of astound'
lng.
TIIIItD OIJNEIlATtOtf IN' CONTROi.
Upon tho death of Henry, the lust sur
viving son of Ulcutheio lienor du Pont,
tho third generation of tho family came
Into powor. Kugeuc, son of Alexis lieneo
du Pont, became president. With him
were associated his brothers, Atoxls I.
nnd Francis X du Pont, nnd his cousins.
Colonel Henry A., Charles I, nnd Alfied
Ireneo du Pont.
To this group came tho distinction of
introducing brown prismatic powder Into
wnrfnre, when the Pnlted Plates became
Involved with Spain, In tho lnluf und
decisive war of Wi. This explosive, In
troduced In this country In tss.1, had been
developed by Alfied I. du Pont until It
proved tho most elllelent explosive of that
century."
Eugene du Pont died In 1H02. Neither
of his brothers felt competent to run tho
business and it w.n decided to sell the
entire holdings of K. I. du Pont do
Nemours & Co. to the ,ntllu & Kami
Powder Coinpanj, n llvnl concern.
At tho stockholders' meeting, held to
nd'opt this plan, Alfred lronec du Pont,
n. director of the du Pont Company of
today, demanded that thu Industiy he
Jtept In tho fnmlly. Ho also ussciled his
right ns the eldest 11 lng descendant In
stockholder In the corporation, continued
lo supervise tho operating end of tho
bulness.
There was one difference, however. The
"aliens" brought Into the corporation by
Pierre S du Pont nnd by the consolida
tion of 1901 hnd gradually risen to respon
sible executive positions.
FlItST DISCORDANT NOTE.
Tho first note of Internal discord In the
13 t. tin Pont de Nemours Powder Com
pany wni sounded In December, 1914. It
was reported tlint T. Coleman till Pont
needed money to complete a "dcnl" with
J. Plcrpont Morgan bv which he was to
obtain n majority of tho eanltnl slock
of the Dilutable Hulldlng In New York.
Whether or not the report win true, the
fnct remains tlint T Coleman tin rout
offered a Inrge block of his stock to tho
13. I. du Pont de Ncmouis Powder Com
pany nt ilCO and tXi a share for the com
mon nnd preferred stock, respectively,
11 hnd long been the policy of the du
1'ontn to purchase stock to bo resold to
Its ottiploics In order that they might
realize on tho prollts of Hie business and
reel that thev wete "purttiers" with tho
executives.
With this end In view, n mnlorlty of the
1'liiance Committee of the cororntlon de
dared thomsnlves us favoring the acqui
sition nf tho stock offeied bv T. Coleman
du Pont, but ns It wns felt Hint the price
nsked was exorbitant nt that time, l'lerit
S. du Pont, n member of the eotninltlei
fwho Inter became president of the pow
der conipmy) was Instructed to com
municate this fact to T. Coleman du
Pout's lawver.
The leuuilnder of the story denls with
the transactions tnkeu up by Philip V
du Pont, of Jlerlon, Pa , In tho bill of
complnlnl tiled with the t'nltcd Slates
District Court.
It Is nltegfil that Pierre K. du Pont did
not fnlthrullv transmit the message of
the- I'"lnnnc( Committee and that he nnd
bis 'associates," who were later found
to lie ilheetors 111 the powder companv,
bought up this stuck, constituting the bal
ance uf power In that col potation, and
loallzed tiemendoiiH stuns on these "war
brides" The du Pont Secuillles Com
pany Is the oiganlpntlon alleged to have
been foiiuctl to accomplish this transac
tion. Tho stock acquired from T Coleman du
Pont represents more Hum 27 per tent,
of tho piesent powder comp.inv stock,
and this, together with t:ie stock Indl
vlduullv owned by Plerie S. du Pont and
his "assoi lutes," Is believed to have given
them control almost l"i per tent, of the

Although there was some opposition to
the proposal, It was chnmploncd by Colo
nel Henry A. tin Pont mid was Dually
A accepted. The company was tinned tivei
to Alfred Irence du Punt for approx
imately ?i:,oui.oon.
It was with this transaction that a new
era dawned for K T. du Pont tie Nimiioiiis
i'i Co. The common stock of tho concern
was vlrtuall) valueless and Alfred I. du
Pont renll7ed that di'Veiopmi nt must be
along new and bettei lines With this end
tn view, he detei mined to got "new blooil"
into the org.i ligation und so offered his
cousins. T. Coleman du Pout and Pierre
S. du Pont, an lnteiest In the business
T. Coleman du Pont was of the "Ken
tucky branch" of tho family, but had
become known to the du Ponts of Dela
ware through his efforts to proi'iote tho
Delaware Iluttou Company, n concoin
Which erected a factory, but "never made
a durned button," according to the legend
In Wilmington.
Pierre S. du Pont w-.s of tho "Dela
ware branch" of the famllv, but, like his
cousin, T. Coleman du Pont, had never
been connected with the powder Industry.
Ho was associated with a real estate
company in I.oralne, O., when Alfred 1.
du Pont took over tho powder company
In 1902.
NEW BLOOD IN CONCI3HN.
Upon being brought Into 13. I. du Pont
de Nemouis & Co., each of these men
' received a large block of stock In the
concern from their cousin, Alfred I. du
Pont. "Whatever value thu efforts of tho
new management might bring to this
stock would he "velvet',' for them.
As Alfred I. Uu Pont was the only
member of the fnmlly paitlclpattng in thu
new oigdiilzation who had been trained
In the powder industry, ho took over the
management of tho various plants then
In the control of tho company. T. Cole
man nnd Pierre S. du Pont knew nothing
of that phase of the business, and It was
decided they should look after the execu
tive Interests of the concern. To this end
T. Coleman was elected president and
Pierre S. du Pont vvus made treasurer of
the company.
E. I, du Pont de Nemours & Co.
progressed remarkably under tho new
management. In 190.1 there were VH
. corporations controlled by the company,
and In order to consolidate these Into
one large corporation the 13. I. du Pont do
Nemours Powder Company wus In
corporated on May 19 of that sear.
The officials of the new K. I. du Pont
de Nemours Powder Company were the
same as thoso of the company it replaced,
but as many valuuble executives of the
umaUer consolidating companies could not
well be disregarded theru was another.
Jlow of "new blood" Into tho organiza
tion, and It was not the aristocratic blood
of the du Pants.
OTHER NAMES APPEAR.
In addition to these newcomers, Pierre
g, du Pont ucqulrci John J. Itaskob, who
la reputed to have been a trolley car
conductor, John P. I.afTej-, a lawyer, and
others foreign to the business, hut for
f whom he found places In tho company.
i v ir6 ra' ser,0u8 difficulty experienced

ings were instituted by the Government
against this so-called "trut." On June
13. 1912, a final decree was banded down
by the United States District Court divid
ing the combine into three distinct
organizations, which were from that time
to be absolutely unaffiliated The three
resulting corporations were the K. I. du

After having disposed of his holdings
In thu powder tompany T. Colcnnn du

rectoi.shlp In the concern Plerro S. du
lont was elect! d to the office
On September 1, 1S1J, n financial "re
organization" of the 13. I. du Pont de
Nemours Powder 'Company was effected
and 13. I. du Pont de Nemour.s .V Co.
was estalillslnd under the laws of Dela
waie. This oiganlzatlon. Hiking the niimo
of the concern established in 1S02 by
13Iculheru Ireneo du Pont, Is capitalized
at JI0,0C0,OKl, or lit twice the figure at
which the company It leplated had been
CIIlltUll7ltl.
In 1901 the powder companv hnd paid
a dividend of ',a pel cent, on its lonimon
stock. Much dividends gradually ln
cuuscd In uiugnitude, and in 19111 and 1911
12 per tent was paid. In Novembei, 1813,
13. I. lu Pont de Nemours Ac Co. declared
a legulnr dividend of li per cent, nnd an
additional dividend of 2SVJ per cent a
"melon" hitherto undreamed of even In
connection with "war hi Ides."
Philip P. du Pont alleges that Plene
S. du Pont and the 11 other directors of
the powder comp.inv, defendants In the
equity .suit, effected tho leoignulatlon
of the powder company and declared the
20 per cent, stock dividend In older to ob
tain money with which to make pay
ments to T. Coleman du Pont foi the
stock taken over by the du Pont Securi
ties Company.
Tho Individual defendants In the suit,
who comprise a muJorlt of the board of
tiustees of the powder company, are also
accused of accomplishing another pur
pose by the declaration of the large divi
dend, namely the depleting of the com
pany's available funds to a point where
It would bo dllllcult to puichasu the T.
Coleman du Pont stock even if an oppor
tunity to do so piUM'iited Itself
Philip P. du Pont Is not alone In his
stund against I'leiro s. du Pont und th
other defendant dliectois of the powder
coinpnii). Uu Jauuuiy 3, 191i, it became
known that Mis Hobeson IVrot. of Slfd
Wlssnhlckun avenue, hail petitioned the
court to bu made a paity plaintiff to the
proceedings. Kho Is u cousin to the oilg
lual complainant, and, spurred by hor
action, tlvo otlu i members of the du Pont
family filed similar petitions with the
com t within ten dajs
One of these petltloneis was Alfred I.
du Pont, vice piesldent, member of the
Flnanto Committee und n dhector of the
powder company. Immediately after the
news or ins mteiveutlon petition was
published tho powder company Issued a
statement asertlng that on the daj he
took this action a special adjourned meet
ing of the board of directors of 13 I du
Pont do Nemours & Co. was held, and
Allied I. tlu Pont was deposed fiom the
vice presidency and his position on the
Finance Committee of the corporation.
Tho newB brought a storm of protest
from Independent stockholders and with
in a day Francis I du Pont, another di
rector of thu powder companj, also tiled
a petition for permission to become a
party to the suit against Pierre S. du
Pont and the other defendant directors
of 13. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.
As the situation now stands a laige
block of stock, constituting a balance of
power In tho powder company, Is held
by Pierre S. du Pont and his "associates"
Included In the du Pont Securities Com
pany. These men, who are also directors
of 13. I du Pont do Nemours & Co , and
defendants in the suit are Irene du
Pont, Uimmot du Pont, Alexis Felix du
Pont, John J. Itaskob, treasurer of the
company; It. It. Morgan Carpenter,
Henry F. du Pont, William Coyne. Harry
G. Haskell, Harry F. Drown, John P.
Iaffey and Eugene E du Pont.
It Is considered significant that those
accused of attempting to defraud and
seize control of the powder company
largely comprise the "new blood" Incl
dent to the incorporation of the B I.
du Pont de Nemours powder Company
and the advent of Pierre S du Pont In
190.3, when he was presented with the
stock which proved the foundation upon
which to build a tremendous fortune.
