DU POINT COMPANY
 CONSTANTLY ON GUARD
Fear of Explosions Caused by Parti-
 sans of Foreign Governments.

Wilmington, Del, July 19.-Some of the secrets in connection with the til- ling of orders for the entente allies by the Du Pont Powder company were told on the witness stand today by Colonel Edmund C. BUCkner, a vice president anT na"6 of the militia de- oartment of the company, in the suit over the possession or aDOut $06, 900, - 900 worth of the corporations stock. Colonel Buckner said at times there was reason to fear the company would not be able to complete it's for eign contracts
 Overzealous partisans of foreign governments in the employ of the company, he testified, put nails in powder boxes, also scraps of offal and various things that would cause the product to deteriorate and be reject ed by the purchasers. Also, he said, there was fear that one or more great explosions would destroy the plants, already overworked. While there were minor explosions, none of them, he testified, could be traced to the work of enemies but the company was con- stantly on guard.
 The suit was brought by stockhoId- CTS against Pierre S. duPont and cer- tain directors who are accused of hav- ing purchased the common duPont stock for their own personal benefit instead of for the benefit of the com pany. Fourteen million dollars was paid for the stock which because of war contracts increased in value to $56 900, 900.
