Ulnr that a misunderstanding of tho

Will stop fake bouts, Director

Remainder denounced exhibition

There was n big Hllr In pugilistic circles
today, when Director of Public Safety
Wilson ordered Supeilntcndent of Police
Robinson to make a thorough Investiga
tion of tho alleged fake. Eddie O'Kccfc
I.cw Tendler bout at the Olympia last
Monday night.
Superintendent Itoblnson said ho would
look Into tho matter at onrc, and see If
there was any reason for actlun by tho
Department of Public Safety.
Director Wilson nsKcitrd emphatically
that lie would nllmv nothing but dean
boxing In Philadelphia, and he added that
thcro would bo no mlsmatlng of com
batants while he was Director of Public
Safety.
"I shall refer this case to Superintend
ent Itoblnson," said Director Wilson,
"and It will bo up to him to llnd out If
thcro Is any warrant for action by this
dcpaitmcnt. Boxing must be conducted
on a clean basis In Philadelphia, nnd
theio must be no disturbances or viola

go outside our proper juilsdlotlon In tho
matter of rights, but I am going to sec
that the splilt of the law Is closely
observed."
Moro than J00O business men, artisans
and ring fans who saw the Kddle

So-Called "Du Pont Suit" Now Pending Presents Prob

Importance
The immediate sum at stake in the "du Pont" auit now pendintj in the.
United Statca District Court in Delaware is more than $50,000,000. A
perusal of the following article will shout, however, that the litifjaiion
really involves control of a $21,0,000,000 corporation, the largest powder
manufacturing concern in the world. The story aho tells of some interest
ing churges brought against twelve of the twenty-one directors of E. I.
du Pont de Nemours & Co.
By HENRY B. LOOS
Copyright, 1910.
ARTICLE II.
The so-called "du Pont suit," now pend
ing In tho United States District Court,
In Delaware, not only involves a battlo
for control of E. I. du Pont de Nemours
& Co., tho S0,000,OCO corporation, which
has figured bo prominently In supplying
tho allied armies of Europe with explo
sives, but presents 'problems in equity
of highest Judicial importance.
Aro directors of a corporation trustees
for the stockholders? Aio directors
legally entitled to vote against the In
terests of tho corporation of which they
aro a unit in order personally to profit
thereby? Is it lawful for directors of
ono corporation to partlclpato In the
formation of a second corporation In
which their stockholdings in tho first
aro to bo pooled?
Theso are among the questions sug
gested by the bill of complaint of Philip
F. du Pont, of Merlon, Pa., who has
brought buii against tne cm ront securi
ties Company, of Delaware, to force the
surrender of "war brides." valued at
more than 50,000.000, to E. I. du Pont
de Nemours & Co. He alleges a be
trayal of trust on tho part of 12
directors of the powder company, who
acquired tho stock In question through
tho securities company rather than ob
taining it for the corporation of which
they were directors.
Added weight has been given tho pro
ceedings by the recent action of a num
ber of other members of the du Pont
family, who have petitioned the United
States District Court for permission to
become"party plaintiffs to the proceed
ings. I)y far the most Important of
these petitioners is Alfred I. du Pont,
who, because of hla attitude toward the
litigation, was promptly ousted from the
vice presidency and his position on tho
Finance Committee of the powder com
pany. This was effected by the de
fendants, who comprise 12 ot the 21 mem
bers of the board of directors of E. I.
du Pont do Nemouis & Co.
Among the other persons who have
filed Intervention petitions are Mrs.
Robeson Perot,, of 5151 'Vissahickon ave

Give Advance Opinion of

LEAVES IT TO WILSON
Confident Director Will Solve
Problem Presented by
Religious Critics
Mayor Smith nnd Director of Public
Safety Wilson learned today that certain
religious societies In this city were con
sidering the advisability of protesting
against the production of "Marle-Odlle,"
Hdwnrd Knoblauch's remarkable play,
which David Helasco has announced to
open at the Adelphl next Mondny. Thu
play was surcessfully fought In Iloston,
Mayor Curley prohibiting Its presenta

cross the bridge before he came to It.
Such matters were In Director Wilson's
province, he said.
"I hnve not Informed myself ns yet
concerning the piny, 'Marle-Odlle, " said
tho Mayor, "and so I cannot say what
action I will tnke. It Is probable that
the play will bo looked Into by Director
Wilson."
Director Wilson made this statement:
"If tho play shows any transgression of
public morals It will bo properly attended
to."
The last tlmo a play of great literary
merit, but of questioned moral correct
ness, was offered here, Philadelphia was
lucky In having such leading motalists as
Tim O'lnry and Henry Clay In charge
of the Dcpaitmcnt of Public Snfetv. Clay
was director ami Tim was his assistant
when Sarah Ilernhnrdt breezed Into town
with a whole bagful of new tricks. In
cluding "La S.imarltalnc," which thu
Fiench actress hail dono In New York.
The protest against It was sincere It
wan believed that ccitaln sacred events
Hhould not be the subject of stage repre
sentation, and Messrs. Clay and O'f.eary
lead the play In French and then put
their foot down hard on tho "Dlvlno
Sara's" art. However, they let her play

saids of shares of stock In the powder
company,
Tho removal of Alfred I, du Pont was
unquestionably effected by the defendant
directors to discourage other members of
tho du Pont family connected with the
powder company from following tho ex
ample set by him In filing an Intervention
petition with tho court. That it did not
havo this effect Is shown by tho fact that
Francis I. .lu Pont, another director of
E. I. du Pont de Nemours &. Co., filed
his petition with the court Immediately
after his cousin, Alfred I. du Pont, had
been deposed. -
The first Intimation tho public hnd ot
Internal difficulties In tho affairs of the
powder company was on December 8, 1915,
when the bill of complaint of Philip F.
du Pont waa tiled with the court. The
accusations In tho bill, if true, disclose
"high finance" developed to tho nth
power In tho activities of Pierre S. du
Pont, now president and a director of tho
powder company, nnd It others who aro
also directors In the corporation In addi
tion to being stockholders In tho du Pont
Securities Company.
The defendants named In the bill are
Pierre S. du Pont, Irenee du Pont, Lam

J. Raakob, It. It. Morgan Carpenter,
Henry F. du Pont, Eugene E. du Pont,
'William Coyne, Marry G. Haskell, Harry

Nemours Powder Company and the cor
poration Into which this waa "reorgan
ized" on September 8, 1915, tho present E.
I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.
The allegations In the bill of complaint,
condensed and stripped of legal verbiage,
are essentially as follows:
In December, J9H, T, Coleman, du Pont,
then president of tho E. I. du Pont de
Nemours Powder Company, wrote to the
Finance Committee of the powder com
pany offering to sell 20,000 shares of com
mon stock in the corporation at 1160 a
share. This letter was considered at a
meeting of the committee held Decem

Camden chorus girl who was shot and
killed nt 9th and Market streets, Camden,
on Saturday night, appeared today wlillo
the dead girl's family was preparing for

Ashbrldge pointing a icvolver at Mra.
Dunbar as sho stood backed up against
a building nt 9th and Carpenter streets,
an hour beforo tho murder took place,
Tho girl told this story when sho called
at tho Amber street house today with

her father heawl a man's volco raised
in anger. Ho ran to the plnco tho sound

ening Mrs. Dunbar with a revolver. Up
pulled Mrs. Dunbar out of the way and
frightened off Ashbrldge, tho girl said.
Her story will bo Investigated.
Tho crowd grew so big as the morning
passed that it was decided to hold tho
services and start for tho cemetery an
hour earlier than that announced. It was
feared there might bo some sort of dem
onstration If the throng continued to grow
until the time bet for the funeral.
As a result, many persons missed It,
but, desplto tho changed hour, W) men,
women and soma children blocked the
streets when tho carriages started for

Tho Ilov. T. D. Collins read tho Epis
copal funeral service.
While tho funeral procession was on Its
way to tha cemetery, Ashbrldge, tho man
accused of the murder, was playing curds
in his cell with two men teccntly arrested
in Pennsgiove na pottottlce robbers. He
seemed unconcerned, and asked for cigar
ettes and some food.
There was sorrow in the little house on
Amber street, the home of the dead wom
an's sister, Mra. Maud Henschall, lu the
hours before the funeral took place. A
constant watcher beside tho casket, which
was placed In a front room on the tlrst

In her mother's hands was a single
