JULY 7, 1927

WILBUR 0. K. ON POLARJLIGHT Nsvy Will Not Oppose Byrd’s Plans. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 7.—Secretary of Navy Wilbur today withdrew his objections to the proposed south polar flight of Commander Richard E. Byrd this fall. “I hate to see Commander Byrd risk his life on such a flight.” Wilbur said, “but if he wants to carry it out, the Navy will not object. The secretary said that with a plane of a cruising radius of from 2,400 to 4,000 miles, Byrd would be able to make an extended trip over south polar regions and could take pictures and make observations that would add greatly to scientific knowledge. Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Navy bureau of aeronautics, said such a series of flights as Byrd plans in the next seven or eight years—to the south pole, around South America and over Mount Everest—could be made with an airplane, but he considered dirigibles more feasible. GUARD BILLY SUNDAY AFTER LETTER THREAT Several Policemen on Duty After Demand for SSOO. Bu United Press WINONA LAKE, Indfi July 7. The Rev. Billy Sunday, evangelist, told today of receipt of a threatening letter demanding SSOO. The letter, Rev. Sunday explained, was the reason for the posting of “a large number of policemen” around the evangelist’s own auditorium here Wednesday night when he delivered a lecture on “Hold Fast That Which Is Good.” Rev. Sunday had just returned from Bangor, Maine, when he received the letter. He said that it was obivious he would not comply with it. Oldest Resident Dies Bu Times (special BLOOMFIELD, Ind., July 7. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Cushman, 91, oldest Bloomfield resident, is dead. She had never lived out of sight of this town.

Roads and Schools Benefit From du Pont Generosity

Senator Attained Great Wealth, Although He Inherited Only $50,000. The du Ponts, "America’s most interesting family," have gained distinction in politics, too. In this third of four stories about the du Ponts, Hortense Saunders tells of the one who is in the United States Senate. BY HOBTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer WILMINGTON, Del., July 7. Good roads and good schools have been two outstanding contributions to the state of Delaware from the du Pont family. Senator Coleman du Pont, and Pierre du Pont have been the most liberal donors. The Senator built some foru million dollars worth of stone road and presented it to the State with a gesture—‘‘here are your roads. Keep them up in the style they should be,” Only $50,000! Senator du Pont, a colorful character with apparently a tremendous capacity for work as well as for play, is known as the only du Pont who really is self-made, since he inherited only about $50,000. It was in the coal mines of Kentucky and Pennsylvania he became wealthy. He was not associated with the family company until he was called in 1902 to its presidency. It was under his presidency, a matter of 15 years, that the du Pont company changed from a mere $20,000,000 corporation to a $200,000,000 one—and he got out before the war profits began to roll in. Today he is practically the only du Pont who has no stock in the du Pont company. Asa Senator he is inconspicuous. Asa business man he is a colossal figure. A Little Realty The famous 120 Broadway office building in New York belongs to him, as does the Equitable building. He bought the control of the Equitable Life from the Morgans. He owns a chain of hotels among which are such important ones as the Waldrof and McAlpin in New York, the Belle-Vue-Stratford in Philadelphia, and the New Willard in Washington. He goes to work as early as 5 in the morning, finishes by 9 or 10, and spends the rest of the day playing. He is an .artist at legerdemain, and can produce the rabbit from the hat or the hard-boiled egg from an ear with professional smoothness. t Education’s Friend Pierre du Pont, the Senator's cousin, is as interested in education as Coleman is in roads. He presented four million dollars worth of school buildings to the State and then accepted the job of State school tax commissioner at $4,000 a year td show how taxes should be levied and collected. Alfred I. du Pont is a talented musician. But better even than music he likes machinery. The du Ponts check up constantly on the sons oi their employes, and invite all the ambitious ones to come into the company. A country club has been provided for du Pont employes, with golf

Siamese Sextet Bu United Press BALTIMORE, Md., July 7. Six kittens, joined together like “Siamese twins,” were born'today to a cat owned by William F. Dekalb. Each kitten has head, body and legs complete, but all are joined at a point over the hind quarters. When one moves, all move, causing confusion for the mother in feeding. They radiate from the central point like spokes of a wheel.

ACTORS JOIN IN WAGECUT WAR Studio Workers Adopt Closed Shop Policy. Bu Cnitvd Press HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 7.—Movie film makers, including studio employes and stars, have put up a permanent defense against a wage reduction now or at any future time. At a meeting of 1,000 of the most prominent in the film colony last night it was decided that Hollywood film studios will operate henceforth under the closed-shop of the Actors’ Equity Association. The present contracts are to be carried out, according to agreement, and new contracts will be Equity contracts and will include Equity rules and minimum wage provisions. Those who did not belong to Equity flocked forward to pay their dues. The proposed 10 to 25 per cent salary reduction of the producers, suspended recently until Aug. 1, was not mentioned during the meeting, but the decisions reached generally were accepted as a result of the effort to force lower salaries. PLEADS FOR TOLERANCE Attorney General Gilliom Asserts Indiana Would Benefit. Bu Times Special NEWCASTLE, Ind., July 7.—Tolerance will help Indiana, Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom declared in an address here Wednesday before the Rotary Club. He said the State needs to let the world know that it has laws which restrict no man’s 'opportunity. The attorney general refused to enter further into his controversy with E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League on medicinal liquor. He commented on his stand for whisky as medicine, saying that it apparently had stirred up “intolerant bigotry.”
