A TRUE STORY OP STRONG
MEN AND THEIR MILLIONS
Continued from rwre One
tho powder compnny and would not only
enhance-the value of every shaie of stork
tn that corporation by about J200. but
nlso divest Pierre S. ilu Pont and his
associates of their controlling Interest In
the concern.
1. Coleman du Pont, the former owner
tit tho Stock In question, Is a son of
Blderman du Pont, younKest son of Al
fred Vlrtor du Pont. This group settled
In Kentucky hii-I did not become ninllnted
with tho powder company until 19)2, when
Alfred I. du Pont took over the business
and presented his routlns, Pierre and T.
Coleman, largo stock Interests In the
powder company.
T, Colemnn, or "Oeneral," du Pont, has
three sisters and two brothers. Antolne
Bldcrmnnn du Pont nnd Can Morgan
dU Pont N'one of this group has yet
taken a stand with either faction In the
present crisis which threatens to disrupt
tho family.
The first branch of the du Pont family,
descending from Eleuthere lrence du
Pont, founder of V. I. du Pont dc Ne
mours & Co., may now be summarized
as follows:
Alfred I. du Pont when ho took over the
company In 1M2.
As Wilmington Is not a large city, the
present split of the du Pont family has
rieatod a situation fraught with constant
embarrassments for not only thedu Pouts,
but every ofllclal of tho ponder company
and those who mingle with them In social
activities.

"I have been Invited to Mrs. Ro-nlid-so's
for bridge on Wednesday," n certain Mrs.
du Pont remarks, "tin jou supposo that
Mrs. du Pont will be there?"
At the same moment Mrs. du Pont
Is sa.xlng to her hiislinml:
"I should certainly like to go to Mrs.
So-and-so's bridge, but I understand that
Mrs. du Pont him been Invited, and
It would be so uwkunid If wo met. 1
shall send regrets.
In the meantime Mrs. So-and-so is In
misery, fearing that four nr five of those
Invited who represent opposite factions
In tho du Pont family will not accept and
that the bridge will bo it dismal fnllute
on that account.
Tho situation is no less piecnrious with-

The second main branch of the family
originated with Henry du Pont, second
son of Eleuthere Irenec du Pont, founder
of the powder company. He had two
sons, William du Pont, who Is a dlioetor
of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co (and
closely allied with Alfred t. du Pontl, and
Colonel Henry A. du Pont, senior United
States Senator from Delaware. The lat

wondering nt what moment it will be
come advisable to Jump, and are debating
upon which side It would be better to
leap when the "fence" position lx no
longer tenable.
Since Pierre S. du Pont nnd his "asso
ciates" comprise a majority of the di
rectorate of the company tho tendency
has been towuid a general alignment with
that faction. Un the other hniid, Alfied

WILLIAM. Jr.
In the thlid main branch uf the family
aro found the majority of complainants
In the suit now pending In the Culled
S5tate3 District Court in D( luwui p. This
branch originated with Alexis 1. du Punt,
third son of Elcutheie Iiepee du Pont.
The eldest son of Alexis I. du Pont
was Eugene 13 du Pont, father of Alexis
I du Pont, secretary of the present
powder compnny; Mrs. William C.
Pevton, who wns Miss Ann Itldgelcy du
Pont, nnd Mrs. .lames X. Andu-ws, who
was Miss Julia Sophie du Pont, nnd Miss
Amelia Elizabeth du Pont. This division
has made no definite stand with either
faction In tho battle for control of th
powder company.
The second sou of Alels I. du Pont
was Dr. Alexis I. ilu Pont, who died In
1904, leaving an estate comprising many
thousand shares of stock in the powder
company. His children air Eugeno E.
du Pont, one of the defendants: Philip
F. du Pont, the oilglnal complainant:
Mrs. Julian Ortiz, who was Alice Eugenie
du Pint, and Mrs. Thomas F. Rayard.
Both'.W the daughters are In sympathy
with the Philip F. du Pont faction.
The third son of Alexis !. du Pont
was the late Francis Q. du Pont, whose
estate also comprises many thousand
shares of stock In the powder company.
His children ore MrB. Robeson Peiot, who
was Eleanor Ball du Pont; E. Pnul du
Pont, Francis I. du Pont, a director of
tho company; Archibald M. U du Pont.
Ernest du Pont. A. Felix du "ont and
Mrs. Irenee du Pont, who was Iieno
Sophie du Pont.
Each of these, except A. Felix du Pont,
who is n defendant In the suit, and Mrs.
Irenee du Pont, whose husband is a de
fendant, has petitioned the court for per
mission to become a party plaintiff to the
proceedings.
As a majority of the beneficiaries under
tho wills of Dr. Alexis I. du Pont and
Francis G. du Font have taken a stand
with the original complainant, both of
these large estates ore virtually forced to
become implicated in the litigation.
THE A. I. DU PONT FACTION.
A summary of this branch of the family
tree may be shown as follows:
on the winning side, nnd for that leason
there is no mad iiish on the pa it or those
connected with the compnny to take u
stand with thoe now pitted against him
and the other complainants.
EMPLOYES CONCEKNI3D.
It Is geneially admitted thnt un matter
which faction wins In tho present litiga
tion involving contiol of the powder com
pnny, thorp will bit sweeping changes in
the personnel of the corpoiatlnn For this
leasou the anxiety of tho emnloies and
officials icferred to Is not lemurknble.
In the executive urtlces of the company
the situation Is even mole disngieeahlc.
Alfred I. ilu Pont Is still n dlioclor of
Iho corporation, as Is Francis i. du I'ont,
who also petltlontd the I 'lilted States
District Cuuit for pel mission lo lecoine
a party to the suit against I'leim s, du
Pont and the 11 other defendant dliectors
of the powder compiling
In their olllelal capacity these men and
otheis connected with the i'ump:in who
ale In sviupathy with them must court
on business mattcis with the ihfeiidnut
dliectors. Agnln, Alfred I. du Pont'b
olhces weie until lecently on the s.iine
lloor of tho du Pont Hulltling, In Wilming
ton, hs are those of Pl-ire S. du Pont.
Fiequent meetings were unavoidable,
and to say that at such times nil air of
restinlnt prevailed Is to put It mildly.
William du Pont, who has always stood
by Alfied I. du Pont as a director and
member of the Finance -ommlttee of
the company, lelnlns his place on both
bodies and, since the ousting of Alfied
1. du Pont, is the only member of tin
Finance Committee who Is not a defend
ant lu the present litigation. Needless to
say, his position Is not un enviable one.
imOTHEK VS. i..tOTHEH.
In the ehiti6 manner the Influence of the
family, divided against Itself, may be felt
thioughout the entire organization uf this. I
the most extensive powder company in '
the world. Tho attitude of the men. who '
nctuatly make the powder which is beuiB i
shipped so steadily to the allied nations uf '
Europe, was well expressed by it work

PHILADELPHIA DOCTOR
WINS HEART OF FRANCE
Letter From Duchess Tells of
Wonderful Surgery of Dr.
Frank C. Abbott
A lcmarknblc opeiatlon, teiiulrlng the
gi ealest skill, was performed hi t)r.
Fraiik C Abbolt, a surgeon of this illy,
now doing duly In the war zone In
France, upon a .loiing lieutenant of the
Fienrli nimy, snvlng the ofilccr's life
and winning for die phlslclnn the grati
tude of the whole countryside.
This Intesl testimonial In American
surgery, ns practiced In the war zone
In the mnii pioniltienl physicians who
left their homes In this country lo ns
slsl the medical corps of the contesting
armies nluoad, Is expressed In ajettrr
leeelieil by the members of the French
Committee of the Emetgency Aid ftom
the Durliesse de lllsaccln.
Doctor Abbott's home Is at 4W2 Hazel
avenue. The roininunlcatloh fiom the
Duchesse. which hns been tut tied over
to Dr Henri K Mnhler, medical director
of Jpfforsnn Hnspltnl, lead.?:
Knowing It Is lo (he Kenerous Inltl
nllve of the French Relief Committee
of Pbllailrlphla that we owe Doctor
Abbott's presence In France, allow mo
to thank jou personally, telling ou
how guileful I have been to him.
Living In un out-of-the-way castle
In the neighborhood of Vendome, f
found m.elf in (he cruel emergency
of tny i hlldren'.s governess taken with
n daiigeromi ntlaelt of Infectious ap
pendicitis. Doctor Abbott came here
and opciotcd on her In the middle of
the night with the gientest ulitll, thus
sailng her life. At Vendome both
civilians nnd military deeply appreci
ate his remit! knblc abilities. He has
w Diked a few splendid tccovcrles, pnr
tlciilnily tho one of a oung lieuten
ant biouglit d"llllous. With a bullet
near the bruin, and now quite nil right
and (Il for tetunilng to the front.
Wheteier there Is suffering to re
lieve, Doctor Abbott Is sure to be
found. Ills only grievance at Vendome
Is not to have sutll'Ment work. Indeed,
theie are few wounded In this region
at present and Doctor Abbo't's capac
ity could perhaps find a better em
ployment lu a larger town or ncnier
the ft out. May I exptess how deeply
grateful we nie In Fiance for the deli
cate gcnoinslty with which Amerlcn
helps us through this diendful wnr
the relief Ameilcari gcneioslty ban
hi ought to die suffcilngs and p.ilu of

In Doctor Abbott'n paitlculur case I
