DELAWARE'S PRIMARY
SHOWS DU PONT FIGHT
tO MARK CONVENTION
Returns Show Bitter Rivalry of
Family Factions, Indicat
ing Battle on Floor
Tuesday
POLL FRAUDS CHARGED
"WILMINGTON, net, April 10. He
turns of Saturday's Delawaro prlmnry
Judicata that tho Republican organisation
will control tho convention at Dover
on Tuesday and will put through n reso
lution Indorsing General T. Coleman tin
font for tho presidency If tho General
no desires.
There la promlso of a lively tlmo In
tho convention, as cx-Unltcd States Sen
ator Alleo will bo thcro and will Insist
upon recognition as a lender of Kent
County. Hack of hln attitude Is tho
feud of tho du Tont family over con
trol of tho bltr powder company, as ho Is
supporting Alfred I. du Pont as a candt
datd for tho nomination for United States
Sonator. The present Senntor, Henry A.
du r-ont, who Is tho Organization choice
for another term. Is Alfred's cousin. The
Senator and Alfred aro also cousins of
General du Pont.
Tho General sold his powder stock to
Pierre du Pont, who thus becamo head
of tho company, nnd Alfred was forced
out. It Is over this stock that a suit Is
pending. Alfred has not said ha Is against
tho others politically, but Alleo Is trying
to line up Kent County for him.
WANTS KENT FOIl ALFIIKD.
Unless tho convention at Dover scttlci
tho matter, It Is probable that tho du Pont
family squabble will reach tho Republican
National Convention. Alleo showed con-'
slderable strength In the primaries of Sat
urdayenough to show that ho can mako
a fight In Kent that will shatter party
harmony.
Thero Is every reason to bellevo that
those who supported Governor Miller hero
for national delegate. In opposition to
Major Edmund Mitchell, chairman of tho
State Committee, will carry tho fight to
the floor of tho convention and will claim
that there was fraud In tho primaries In
this city.
In Wilmington thero wcro contests In
flvo wards, which had It o'lt of tho 40
allotted to tho city. Even In theso wards
some of tho delegates vfro acccptablo to
both the Miller and tho Mitchell people
and tho contest was virtually on ono or.
two men. The others were selected with
out opposition, and both sides aro claim
ing n majority of them.
Tho Mitchell people say thoy havo 18
delegates from this city, and estimates
of tho Miller people aro that they have
from 18 to 20.
POL1, FRAUDS CHARGED.
It Is charged by tho Miller faction that
In some districts of tho "th Wnrd men
who did not live In tho ward wero allowed
to vote. It Is also charged that In tho
lower district of the 6th Ward representa
tives of tho candidates voted for were not
allowed to witness tho count, as required
by law, but wero kept out for somo tlmo,
nnd that tho count was not completed
until after 2 o'clock this morning, dcsplto
tho fact that the polling placo closed at
7 o'clock on Saturday evening.
More Itt feeling has been created nmong
tho Republicans by the primaries on Sat
urday and tho contest which marked
them than anything which has occurred
In a number of years. City, county and
State officials who aro members of tho
party all took part In tho contest and
wero divided. In a number of cases
iromfnent .men nearly came to blows and
an sorts or enarges wero maue.
In rural Now Castle County somo effort
was made to elect delegates who would
defeat Senator Henry A. du Pont for del
egate to the National Convention, but It
Is generally accepted that the opposition
' failed.
BRUMBAUGH LEAVES .
CITY; MUM ON LETTER
Continued from Face One
ver and his brother, David D. Oliver, ac
cording to dispatches from Pittsburgh, Is
that they aro Inclined to give the Governor
a chance to produco the letter, which the
Governor contends would provo that tho
Oliver contribution was personal and not
political, and therefore did not come under
the corrupt practices net.
"Both Senator Oliver and his brother.
Davlr B. Oliver, said they had nothing
further to add. pending a reply from tho
Governor to the suggestion that ho pro
duca the letter and disprove It, If he could,
that tho Oliver contribution was n political
contribution," said the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. Attorney General Brown, the premier
of the Governor's cabinet, drew the fac
tional lines more sharply than before in a
statement which he issued last night. He
declared that the Governor would neither
withdraw from tho presidential contest,
nor compromise with tho Penrose forces.
"X "will say this, once and for all and
absolutely," said Mr. Brown. "Any and
all attempts to blackmail or drive tho
Governor from tho position he has taken
will fall. You may brand all stories and
rumors about the Governor's withdrawing
or compromising" as palpable fakes of
bis enemies."
Mr, Brown's statement that uncompro
mising warfare for the political leader
ship of the State has resulted from the
publication of the acceptance of D. B.
Oliver's check for $1000 for "help In this
fight," which the Governor did not account
tor under the plea that It was a personal
and not a campaign contribution, was fol
lowed by a formal statement Issued by
the Brumbaugh press bureau, In which
It was asserted that tho Governor has
gained materially In strength as the result
of the story.
SEARCH FOR LETTER.
The fact that Mrs. Brumbaugh had
attempted to find the letter In which Oliver
enclosed the check was brought out by
JMCOC
Flower and
Vegetable Seeds
William H, Ball, secretary to tho Gover
nor. "Mrs. Brumbaugh made ono attempt to
find It by looking In a place whero the
Governor thought It might bo In his homo
In Gcrmantown, but could not find It,"
said Mr. Ball. "Presumably It Is In the
house, but tho Governor has not been
thero since St Patrick's day."
It Is understood to bo tho Governor's
Impression that tho Oliver letter wbb In
long hand, nnd was not typewritten ; that,
therefore. It would seem unlikely that
Mr, Oliver had n copy. It also was as
serted that It tho original h.id been lost,
Mr. Oliver would not bo called on to sup
ply n copy. Mr. Ball said that If the
original were found It would bo published
Immediately. "In fact," ho said, "I would
bo willing to bet It would bo published "
When an effort was made last night to
communlcato with tho Governor at his
Gcrmantown house, tho word wan that
ho was not nt home, and no Information
wan nvnllablo as to whether or not tho
search had been successful.
Mr. Bell said last night that ho had not
beett In touch with tho Governor slnco tho
afternoon, but that ho believed that If
the letter had como to light ho would
have heard of It. Ho did not think It had.
Ho concluded by saying that If tho letter
were discovered, It would be given out
nt Harrlsburg. Mr Kolb said that ho
did not know anything nbout tho result
of the search j that the Governor was not
in his house and thnt tho Governor de
sired to bo undisturbed.
Governor Brumbaugh looked worried
nnd his mnnncr wns that of a tired man
when ho arrived In Philadelphia yesterday
noon to address the memorial meeting of
tho tr.ilnmon, held In the Forrest Theatre.
Ho wan accompanied by Mrs. Ilrumbnugh
nnd William H. Ball, his private secre
tary. Mayor Smith, upon whoso Invitation tho
Governor came hero to speak, presided at
tho meeting. To those near him on the
platform, the Governor said that ho needed
sleep, and when ho delivered his nddrcss
ho spoko In weary tones that caused those
who had frequently heard him before to
comment on tho chnnge.
STATE OFFICIALS SILENT.
Cyrus 11 Woods, Secrctnry of tho Com
monwealth, and John S. Hilling, of tho
Public Service Commission, who wcro con
cerned In the events which led up to tho
story of tho check, ngaln refused to dis
cuss tho points Involved. It wn Mr. Rilling
whom Senator Oliver said had suggested
tho possibility of Impeachment.
In this connection tho Pennsylvania
Constitution says:
"The Governor and all other civil officers
shall bo liable to Impeachment for any
misdemeanor In office."
Tho last two words, It was argued,
would prevent Impeachment proceedings
In this ense, for the reason thnt tho Oliver
check was received prior to tho Gover
nor's Induction Into olllce; nnd, further,
thnt by that time tho campaign oxpenso
account had been tiled. Ho was then not
Governor, hut a candidate.
Tills matter, being discussed by poli
ticians nnd lawyers, sorved to dlroct at
tention to nnother section of tho Consti
tution, which says: "Any person who shall,
while a candldato for olflcc. bo guilty of
bribery, fraud or wilful violation of nny
election law shall bo forever disqualified
from holding nn office of trust or profit
In this Commonwealth."
Tho Governor was met at Broad Street
Station by Louis J. Kolb, his personal
nnd political friend. Ho lunched nt Mr.
Kolb's home, nnd returned homo with
Mr. Kolb nfter tho meeting. Ho spent
last night nt his own homo on West Wal
nut Inne, Gcrmantown.
Coincident with the tightening of battle
lines for tho factional fight within tho
Republican party as the result of tho
check, rumors of other contributions that
wero not accounted for liy tho Governor
In his statement of campaign expenses
wero circulated today, both hero and In
ritisnurgn.
Tho Governor whllo hero yesterday
positively declined to say anything at ail
concerning the check, "This Is Sunday,
and I have nothing more to say," was his
answer to all questions.

JOHNSON URGES GOVERNOR
TO WITHDRAW FH031 RACE
Appeals to Brumbaugh in Interest of
Party Harmony
Governor Brumbaugh was urgently re
quested to withdraw from the presidential
contest on April I, It developed today.
Alba B. Johnson, friend of the Governor,
who has been placed on tho Penrose slato
of candidates for delegates-at-Iarge to the
Chicago convention, wrote him under that
date, and nsked him to withdraw In the
Interests of "party unity."
Mr. Johnson today inado public the let
ter. Ho mnde his plea for tho withdrawal
of the Governor on tho basla of nn "unln
structed" delegation to tho convention, ns
the only menns by which tho Pennsylvania
delegation could bo united. Senator Pen
loso Is making his fight ngnlnst the Gov
ernor on tho lstuo of nn unlnstructed dele
gation. Mr. Johnson's letter follows:
Philadelphia, April 4, 1910.
Hon. Martin O. Brumbaugh,
Harrlsburg, Pn.
My dear Governor In writing you
nt this tlmo I do so (out of a Bcnso
of tho BUprcme lmportnnco of re
storing harmony within tho Repub
lican party to tho end that Pennsyl
vania may present a united front In
tho Chicago convention.
You will readily agree with mo that
tho Interests of the Stato and nation
nre Involved In snno party action and
the recognition of tho vital princi
ples which aro nt stake In the great
contest of this year.
Individuals may differ ns to meth
ods, but there should be no question
of the necessity for unity, nnd so
strong Is my own conviction on this
point, ns is nlso the conviction of
many associates for whom I know
you entertain a high regard, thnt I
urge upon you such Immediate steps
ns may bo necessary to bring nbout
concerted effort with a view to the
elimination of nil factional activities
and a restoration of party peaco and
a State-wide co-operation for and In
tho-lntcrcsts of Republican success.
I recall that in your recent letter
to Mr. Wnsson you Indicated nn ontlro
willingness to withdraw your nnme nt
nny tlmo It mlgnt appear mm sucu
nctlon on your part would bo for tho
best Interests of the party, and I sub
mit that in the present situation your
own good Judgment will dictate such a
course as will nssuro an unlnstructed
delegation at Chicago.
I trust you will lead the way to a
nromnt and peaceful solution of tho
differences now threatening the party
In tho State. I have today written
similarly to Senator Penrose.
Very truly yours,
ALBA II. JOHNSON.
Mr. Johnson declined to make public
his "similar" letter to Senntor Penrose.
Ho said that he had merely written to
tho senior Senitor urging him to "pro
moto co-operation."

NEW BRASS EXTRUDING
WORKS TO START HERE
Factory With Novel Process
Will Fill European Bellig
erents' Munition Orders
A new $200,000 factory for extruding
brans for munition purposes will begin
work, employing 131 men In two shifts,
by Mny 1, according to announcement
made today by Wnlter S. Johnson, 118
Mnplcwood nvenuc, Gcrmnntown, ono of
tho stockholders.
It Is understood that somo of the big
munition financiers aro backing tho com
pany nnd that already more money hns
been subscribed than will bo needed to
start the factory. ItVas nt first planned
to call tho concern tho Stanford limits
Company nnd build tho factory nt Stan
ford, Conn., but now no name hns been
chosen. The site of the new factory will
be within a radius of 15 miles of City
Hall. Ten factories arc being considered
now, nil In this city. Tho work of In
stalling mnchlncry will begin In a few
days.
No ofTlcers havo been elected nnd tho
nrtlcloa of incorporation have not been
filed.
A Philadelphia concern, tho Southwark
Foundry nnd Machine Company, Ith
'.street nnd Washington nvenuc. has com
pleted the 2000-ton extruding presses by
which tho brnss will be extruded or made
Into form by pressing It out when In a soft
ened state. This In tho first extruding
foundry ever started In Philadelphia, and
thero aro few In tho country, tho brass
usually being east.
Tho capacity of Uio new foundry will
be nbout 30 tons a day. Kxtrudlng brnss
Is n relatively new method, which does
away with casting nnd reduces tho cost of
production to nn enormous degree.
"Wo aro starting the company to tnlto
advantage of tho enormous demand for
munitions," said Mr. Johnson today.
"When tho war In over we will keep right
on doing business, for thero Is a great
demand for brass. AVo will make tin
brass rods. Tho rod Is tho brass In the
raw state, Just ns tho pig Iron Is tho Iron
and steel In the raw state. AH brass Is
mndo from this rod. Tho method wo will
use that of extrusion Is simply the im
plication of enormous pressure anil tho
spulrtlng of tho brass In n soft state from
tho size tubo which will give tho rod tho
desired size. Tho brass comes out much
In tho samo way tooth paste comes out of
n tubo when It Is squeezed."
Tho new factory will havo $50,000 worth
of machinery alone. It has already been
offered nn order for 10,000,000 brass rings
for tho Russian Government. It depends
on tho action of tho stockholders whether
this contrnct will bo taken. Mr. Johnson
says tho ltusslnn Government pays for Its
munitions when the bill of lading arrives.
A representative will be sent to Russia
In n few days to seo about getting ltus
slnn orders for munitions.

WASHINGTON, April 10, With tho

'afar from tho echoing halls of debate in his
'opeech upon Americans. In the Burnett im
jmlgratlon bill the samo old stumbling block
jhas b'ceit Included that has led to the veto
jjof two Presidents namely, tho proviso of
a literacy test wherein tho applicant for
citizcnsuip must snow mat ne can react.
Uncle Joe raises the pertinent query as
jto tho nativity of thOso who would bar out
those of alien blood. When did their fore
bears come to our shores? Wero not the Pll-
I grim Fathers immigrants? Is it not a dog-In-
tlie-mangcr attitude that would lead men
after their own admission to a land of
tolling equality to put up the defenses,
and let the portcullis fall to those who
crave a similar privilege ana (lock hither
as to a camp of refuge against the social pres
sure or the militaristic regime in countries be
yond the seas? It is a narrow definition of
freedom that means liberty for ourselves alone
and not for a) mankind. The spirit of those
who planted the colonies was not exclusive.
Captain John Smith did not want the men. who
wero too fine to work: the founders wcr&JuJ
many cases, men Innocent of tue'"cu!tur;a2?1
books and the refinement of the arts. They
v-cro plowmen and sturdy peasantry; men that
had Knowledge of a trade, with hands cunning
to work in the raw material such as the
forests and the soli and the sea afforded.
Since those pioneers,' millions have followed
in their train, and have built their lives Into
the teeming life of the land to its great advan-
tage. They haVe taken their places among
the truest and the best Americans. They
never spelt their citizenship or mado oath ta
their allegiance with a hyphen; they promised
unreservedly to serve this country and obey
her laws and live In honor and In peace with
all men. Learning has made many a man
mad with the greed of gain, a cunning prac
titioner In politics, treacherous and subversive
of th? common good like the agitators of
'i India, who have used what they were taught
Irt foreign colleges only for turmoil and even
for anarchy, Let the name and the definition
of a good citizen bo detached from his book-
V, learning, and let It be admitted that a man
may spel badly an'd write HI and etlll be a
faithful friend and servant of America.
