Powder graft charges shake Senate amid Du Pont probe
Washington reports reveal charges of wholesale extortion against the Du Pont Powder Company and alleged government ties. The circular by Robert B. Waddell claims the powder monopoly drains funds, with estimates of a $2 million annual graft and a potential 22.5 million to 24 million extra cost to the U.S. if the government relies on private powder. Senator-elect Henry Du Pont’s Europe trip and the June 12 vote are noted as catalysts. Five lumbermen drown in the Shoshone River near Hope, Ind, including Robert Hendrickson.
