BAD LONG AND
COLORFUL CAREER
WILMINGTON. Del., April 29.
UP)—Captain of Industry philanthro
pist politician—Alfred I re nee Du
Pont who died Monday at his estate
near Jacksonville Fla., earned all
these titles during his long and
riloriul career.
wYom the time lie took over the en
tile management of the huge DuPont
«4#ganizat»on in 1902, until he sever
ed relations in 1916 with the E. I.
DuPont de Nemours Company,
which ha organised along modern
lines and even for years afterward,
his power in the weathy Delaware
family was felt.
The 70-year-old member of the
family, bom in 1865. took over the
firm on tbe death of Eugene Du
Pont.
In the next 10 years, after he re
organised the firm and consolidat
ed its various interests as the Du
Pont de Nemours company the or
ganisation's assets increased from
$15,000,000 ig $82,000,000. with Alfred
DuPont as vice president.
All machinery used in the com
pany's manufacture of black powder
was designed by him, and the de
Mtopmant of prismatic powder, as
wutf by the United Si%te; iww
ment in its large calibrt funs, is en
tirely the result of his ingenuity.
His activities outside of this state
and the DuPont De Nemours Com
pany were wide. He purchased the
Grand Central Palace. New York
Exhibition building, in 1918. The
buidmg was used in the advance
ment of international commerce, in
line with DuPont's theory that
American buyers would be interested
in foreign goods if displayed with
in their reach
Among his ether business interests
were four radium mines at Central
City, Colo. He spent large sums In
perfecting a radium testing and
producing mill, and much of the
radium produced was used in experi
ments for the treatment of cancer.
In political life. DuPont was long
a factor in Delaware, but his poli
tical moves were said to have creat
ed friction with other members of
the family
He became prominent in state poli
tics shorty after becoming connected
with the DuPont powder Interests.
He allowed his control of the re
publican party In the state to slip
away, however, and for several years
took little Interest In political cir
cles. until by s bold move In 1916 he
regained control.

> NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. April 29. Most
financial markets, although display
ing considerable caution, still mam
tamed a fairly bullish undertone in
Monday's proceedings.
Quiet but selective participation
was the rule in stocks and, while
many ol the so-called leaders did
little or nothing, some substantial
gains were noted in various categor
ies. Silver continued to droop m
world markets but most of the metals
were steady to firm. The rails and
utilities held about even to a little
higher. Grains were steady. Cctton
eased. Bonds were mixed. Foreign
exchanges were narrow.
8hares that worked up fractionally
to a point or more included Amer
ada Seaboard Oil Standards ol Cali
fornia and New Jersey Cerro de Pas
co, Howe Sound, American Smelt*
mg. Silver King, American Can,
Sears Roebuck, National Biscuit,
American Bank note common and
preferred and national distilers.
Eastman Kodak sagged 5 points or
so. and Postal Telegraph preferred
and American Crystal Sugar prefer
red lost 2. American Telephone and
Consolidated Gas were slightly im
proved. U. S. Steel. General Motors.
Chrysler. DuPont and many others
were virtually unchanged.
Buying in National Biscuit re
flected the company s settlement of
its 16-week strike of 6000 employes
in five cities.
Brokers said some of the selling
of Postal Telegraph securities prob
ably was from holders who were dis
appointed over recent merger deve
lopments In addition to the softness
of the preferred stock, the Postal's
5 per cent bonds dropped 5 points
or ao.
Sugar issues were not particularly
active despite the fact the rice of
the refined product was again lifted,
this time from 5.15 cents a pound to
5.25, the peak level for the product
since 1930.
Earnings statements, generally,
were Interpreted as good
Followers of the utilities did not
seem surprised at the statement of
the president that not only the
“evils" of holding companies should
be eliminated but that unnecessary
corporations in this class must also
quit.
Tirade observers appeared to be
pleased with Mr. Roosevelts an
nounced intention of spending the
$4,800,000,000 work-relief funds as
rapidly as possible, but it was fear
ed the effects on consumer psycho
logy’ may not be felt for another
few months.
NEW YORK CURB
NEW YORK. April 29 Curb
market stocks were slightly reaction
ary Monday. A moderate volume of
selling of utilities upset the entire
list at the start of trading and with
the exception of a few specialties
leaders dipped minor fractions to
around a point.
Principal activity centered in
American Gas. Electric Bond &
Share. Sunshine Mining. Heels and
Lakeshore. all of which yielded,
without much resistance. Hudson
Bay Mining went its own way and
improved around ’a point
Specialties selling around 1 point
higher included De Haviland. Ferro

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. April 29
Cotton futures started the new week
from 9 to 10 points lower as scat
tered selling in the early dealings
failed to find adequate buyers.
Opening 1 hour earlier in order
to conform with Daylight Saving
Time at New York, the market here
sold off around 50 cents a bale and
then held in a narrow range at these
levels.
Reports of good progress in sev
eral sections of the cotton belt com
bined with general uncertainty over
the world silver situation tended to
restrict specuative sentiment.
Additional selling by the ring
crowd found few takers and prices
held at net losses of 5 to 10 points
during mo6t cf the morning. The
May contract showed the mow
steadiness largely because this posi
tion has been pretty thoroughly liq
uidated.
July sold at 11.75, Oct. at 11.28 a"d
Dec at 11.36 as the morning wore on.
A little short covering and trade
buying brought prices up from the
lows however, and July got beck to
within 4 {joints of the previous close
at 11.80. while October was off 3 at
11.35.

RELIEF HEADS
Texas Workers Told Not to
Apply For Work Under
New Program
AUSTIN. April 29.—Administra
tion of relief In many Texas coun
ties Is being complicated by a rush
of persons seeking employment un
der the new wcrk relief law to get
on the relief rolls before plans lor
carrying out the measure have been
completed, It has been announced
by E A. Baugh, assistant director
of the Texas Relief Commission.
“Some of our administrators are
working under pressure from all sides
to admit to relief rolls applicants not
in dire need but anxious to get a
first chance at federal work relief
Jobs under the new program
"This condition results in con
gestion in our county offices and
hampers county administrators in
their efforts to do the best they can
for those really destitute people al
ready on our rolls.
“We are making every effort at
this time to lower our caseloads be
cause it is the season of the year
when there ought to be more Jobs
available. Concerted efforts to
“crash” the relief rolls at this time
merely make the job more difficult
for many county organizations al
ready overworked with their present
relief loads.
"It may be several weeks before
the new work relief program begins
to function in Texas. When we re
ceive instructions to undertake it.
we will set up the program in all
counties simultaneously. There will
be no need for people seeking work
to move from one county to anoth
er. Rumors that the program al
ready is under way in some coun
ties are without foundation.”
Mr. Baugh requested persons
seeking jobs not to apply at relief
offices.
“We are still granting relief to the
unfortunates," he said. "We have nc
Jobs to offer.”
