WANTS StCRtTs SHOWN UP
Stakeholder of United States Company
Charges Directors With
Fraud.

New York, May 19-Mrs. Faith R
Saunders, q pretty young woman who
makes a business Of process serving
for Wall street .aw firms, was the
means OF bringing Edward T.. PIatt
and other officers of the United States
Express company into court yester-
day. They appeared in connection
with an action brought TO compel
them to reveal the secrets in connec-
ton with the company they have
&C. zaos Sfey y5a5s -.s:ss11
holding G stockholders meeting.
The plaintiff in this particular case
is John L. Dudley OF the Knicker-
booker Audit company. Mr.. Dudley is
the holder of leo shares Of United
States Express company stock. and
he wants to examine the books of the
oncern to ascertain why the diyf-
dends are not larger.
He thinks, in view of the enormous
profits made by the United States Ex-
press company, it should have made
more than $4,000 on the s17, OOO. 900
business that it has handled In the
last six months. According to his
calculation that is not more than one
fifth of l per cent.
Frauds Are Charged.
In his application for an order to
examine the books Mr.. Dudley makes
charges of fraudulent use Of the funds
and property by the board of direct
ors and alleges that the c Is
on the brink of failure because of
waste and mismanagement. He also
charges that the directors have Al.
lowed the money, property and effects
of the company to be stolen and dis
sipated.
In addition he alleges that the d.
~rCctorate imperiled and squandered
the assets OF the company and voted
TO its members large and extravagant
salaries; that the officials and direct
ors used the funds OF the company
for speculative purposes, bought stock
of other companies without the con-
sent of the stockholders, and surren-
dered large business interests to ri
val companies.
In court counsel for the Platts and
other defendants denied in toto the
charges made against the company
and the hearing was adjourned until
Thursday.
