Plaintiff Is Not Invited. WILMINGTON. Del.. Oct. 31. (Spe cial.) Higher social circles were a-buzz today with gossip about the suit that Alfred I. Dupont. vice-president of the big powder company, and several times a millionaire, has brought against Mrs. Elizabeth Bradford Dupont. widow of Dr. Alexis Dupont 'and mother-in-law of Thomas F. Bayard, son of the former Ambassador, and himself a prominent lawyer and chairman of the Democratic state committee. It also developed today that a similar suit for alleged slander of Mrs. Alfred I. Dupont has been brought against Mrs. Mary H. J. Bush, also connected with, a prominent family. Mrs. Bush's adopted pon marrh-d a. sister of the present Mrs. Alfred I Dupont. Many Other Suits Threatened. Suits, it is sail, also have been threa fned against others, and Wilmington so ciety Is wondering whether connection with the case will be taken as a badge of social distinction. The suiti:. -if they come to trial, which many think doubtful, will lay bare the feud that has existed in the Dupont family since Alfred I. Dupont wedded Mm Alicifc Bradford Maddox. That they are against relatives of Mrs. Dupont. the woman alleged to have been talked about, hows the ir tensity of feeling that exists in the family in connection with the mat ter, bui just what the specific slanderous statements were is not known. Society Lights Dragged In. There is much surprise that the name of Mrs. Henry B. 'aVompson has been dragged into the case. Mrs. Thompson is a daughter of General James H. Wil son, and fio and her husband have an assured social position in Wilmington. The managers of the Assembly dance, the chief social function of the Winter In this city, are Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Preston Ln, wife of ex-Governor Lea, and Mrs. Felix Dupont. The invitations for the "dance were issued on Friday, and none was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Al fred L Dupont. It was a strange coincidence that publicity of the suit was given the day after the dance invitations were out. Speedy Divorce Secured. The present Mrs. Alfred I. Dupont figured in r remarkably speedy divorce proceeding in Carlisle. Pa., in 1907, just prior to her marriage to Dupont. who was also divorced. There was said to have been, a boy-and-girl romance between Dupont and the beautiful Alicia Bradford years ago. They were related, she being the daugh ter of Federal Judge Bradford, of Wil mington, and granddaughter of the fa mous E. I. Dupont de Nemours, who founded the powder company. Her marriage about seven years ago to George Amory Maddox, of Wilmington, was a society event. ' Marriage Eight Days After. October 16. 1907. it was announced that Mrs. Maddox and Alfred I. Dupont, both recently divorced, had been mar ried at the Plaza Hotel in New York. It soon afterward developed that Mrs. Maddox' divorce had been granted -by Judge Wilbur F. Sadler, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, on October 8, eight days before the marriage. Mrs. Maddox, with a considerable ret inue, had gone to Carlisle In February. 1907. and had leased the historic Parker mansion, notable as he scene of Mary Dillon's novel. "In Old Bellaire.7 Divorce Papers Secret. On September 18, 1907, a suit for divorce was entered' by her against Maddox. her attorney being Sylvester Sadler, son of 1 the Judge. Sheriff James E. Einstein, the nPxt day. served the writ on George Amory Maddox. in Carlisle. . On Septem ber 20 Jasper Alexander was appointed master. On September 27 the master's report was filed and on October 8 Judge Sadler granted an absolute divorce. The papers in the case were never made public.

BYRNE DIES OF INJURIES Tragedy Brings Grief to Officers and Cadets A'.lke. WEST POINT. N. Y., Oct. 31. Cadet Eugene A. Byrne, who was injured in yesterday's football game between the Army team and Harvard, died early to day. His father, ex-Chief of Police John Byrne, of Buffalo, was with him when he died. The tragedy has brought poignant grief to officers and cadets alike. Young Byrne expired at sunrise. Brave as was the young soldier's fight against death, it was hopeless from the start. Buried beneath a mass of struggling players in the Harvard-Army game Saturday, his neck was twisted and broken by the weight of the crushing pile above him. Artificial Respiration Tried. Only the immediate resort to artificial respiration kept the boy from almost in stant death, for he did not draw a nat ural breath after receiving the fatal shock. Surgeons were unable to make a complete examination last night. But X-ray photographs taken after his death revealed a dislocation between the first and second cervical vertebrae. This caused the natural process of breathing to cease and the artificial means of res piration resorted to was all that kept the injured cadet alive until today. No autopsy was held. Funeral services will be held tomorrow in the Catholic Chapel at'the post, where the body was taken. A cadet guard has been posted at the chapel and details of young soldiers will watch over the body until after the services tomorrow. The funeral will be conducted with full military honors. Monsignor C. C. O'Keefe, in charge of the Catholic chapels in this vicinity, will officiate. The manner of young - Byrne's injury, witnessed tby hundreds who gathered here to see the Army struggle against Harvard, was dramatic. When the spec tators realized the shock was serious, the cheering was hushed as if by magic. A few minutes later Byrne was carried un conscious from the field. Taken to the cadet hospital, skilled surgeons labored over him throughout ke night. Con scious at times, he realized the serious ness of. hie condition. By order of Colonel Scott, cadet activi ties for today were directed to be only such as were necessary. There was no parade tonight, the flag was lowered to halfmast and directions were given that all academic duties be suspended tomor row. Young Byrne was only 21 years old, but was a veteran of the Army football team and popular with his classmates and officers. He was acting as captain of the eleven yesterday. Common Play Fatal. He was injured in a mass play on tackle, a play common enough in foot ball and which had been used several times in the game previous to the inci dent. Byrne, standing valiantly at left tackle for the -Army, was forced under the rush of crimson players and on fall ing must have had his head twisted into a position where the weight of the men piling upon him was greater than the strong ligaments of the vertebrae col umn could stand. 'If Byrne dies it will kill football for both West Point and Annapolis." was the frequent remark heard on the grounds last night. With Byrne dead the feeling prevailed that football as a sport at West Point and Annapolis has been seriously Jeopardized.
