DEFENDANTS ASK
FOR FINAL DECREE

After an extensive court litigation
lasting more than two years, the fight
over the dupont Powder stock, for
merly owned by T. Coleman dupont,
and sold by him to Pierre s. dupont
and his associates. was renewed In the
United States District Court, in Phila-

lions TO a masters report which con
ilrmed a stockholders vote In reject
ing a proposal for the f. |. dupont
de Nemours Powder Company 10 buy
the stock.
It Is now commended by Philip F. du-
Pont and the other complainants that
the stockholders meeting was irregu-
lar and that the vote was not properly
put before the shareholders. Charges
are also made that Pierre s. dupont
and his associates dominated the meet
ing and influenced the voters, which
made possible the majority in their
favor. The resolution offered that
the company buy the stock was defeat
cd by vote OF $40 900 to $4,000 shares
II thus being victory for Pierre S. du-
Point and his associates, and q defeat
for p. F. dupont, Alfred I. dupont and
the other complalnants.
Frank p. Pricnsrd argued for the
compliments and George s Graham and
George Wharton Pepper appeared for
Pierre S. dupont and the other de-
PENDANTS TO the suits an Saturday.
Irrespective OF the stockholders vote
Mr.. Prichard argued that, as the court
had found that Pierre S. dupont and
his associates had obtained the stock
by fraud, final decree sould have been
entered, directing them TO return the
securities TO the company.
The vote, no matter what the ma
jority may have been. IL OF no sig

that the court has found that the de-
PENDANTS, as trustees mad violated their
