vantage over holders Of preferred
stock, in effecting a proposed sale of
the assets, franchises and property
OF the concern to Il. I. dupont de
Nemours Co., r. G. Kerr, of New
York, a stockholder, instituted man
damus proceedings in the Common
Pleas Court, in Philadelphia yesterday
to compel the concern and its officers
10 allow an inspection of the books of
the company. Judge Vessel made the
writ returnable March 10, at 10
o'clock.
According to the petition filed, Kerr is
the owner Of 200 shares of the preferred
stock of the Harrison corporation, ac-
quired in 1899 at cost of 100000.
In asserting that an attempt is being
made to consummate the sale of the
property to the duPonts in an unfair
manner. Kerr alleges that he has been
denied information as 90 the business
and affairs of the Harrison corporation
in reference to the sale. This deniel
he asserts, was made in q letter for
wardcd by Francis Rawle, a lawyer OF
this city, and counsel for the Harrison
Company. A meeting has been called
for March Is by the Harrison concern
TO pass upon the proposed DUPONT offer
Of purchase
Following the mandamus proceed
ings Kerr says he will institute equity
proceedings in a bill Of complaint
now being prepared by his counsel,
l.. p. Stradley. This bill will ask

OF the proposed sale. Codefendants
with the Harrison corporation in the
mandamus action are Russell S. Hub
bard, president; Henry c. Esling, vice
president; I. J. Armstrong, secretary,
and William RICHTER, treasurer.
The proposed sale, upon which the
stockholders are to pass on March 10.
Is based on an offer from the DUPONT
Company to pay $5,7O0,000 cash and to
assume all the outstanding indebted
ness. This, President Hubbard point
ed out in his annual report. would
pay the preferred stockholders par
and accrued dividends and would give

MISSOURIANS Think
Stone should RESIGN
By The United Press.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. March 7.-Senator
William j. Stone was hard hit today
In resolutions passed by several
Democratic ward organizations last
night. He was branded a traitor"
and asked TO give an account of his
action in not supporting President
Wilson's armed neutrality. Each or
ganization endorsed an editorial
printed in the Post Dispatch, which
said I'm part;
THE lack OF a cloture rule is not
tho only flaw in the organization of
the United States Senate. For there
is Gum Shoe BIZ Stone at the head
Of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Resignation from the Chairman
ship Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee and from the Senate would be
the most becoming act of Stones
career If Stone is not man enough
TO resign the Craftsmanship. he should
he kicked out by the patriotic ma
jority."

Use Cocoanut Oil
for Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash il with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoohfuls will make an abundance Of
rich. creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle Of dust, dirt, dandruf and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough TO
last everyone in the family for
months.
