MAYOR AGAINST
BUYING ALPINE
Says He Will Never Favor Buy.
ing the Cemetery
Site

While favorable opinions on NUM-
cipal purchase Of Alpine cemetery
have been coming in to the EVEN
ING NEWS daily. with very little
disscnsion On the part OF any citizens.
Mayor Frank Dorsey has made 1t
known that under no circumstances
would he favor the purchase of the
cemetery by the city, giving as his
reason the belief that all the taxpay-
ers would not benefit by the purchase.
particularly those who have burial
grounds of their own in other denom-
national cemeteries.
Mayor Dorsey volunteered this
statement on Saturday:
You a say for me that just as
long as I'm mayor / won't sanction
the purchase Of Alpine cemetery by
the city. | do not think hat the city
should spend money IN a proposition
like that where all the taxpayers of
the city Wont receive the benefits of
the none they are called upon to
pay for the purchase of the land.
There are a great many small de-
u~ominational cemeteries in this city
where certain religious sects bury
their dead. They use those cemeteries
n VIII continue to use them and
will receive no use from Alpine what
socver.
Il consider Alpine a fine business
proposition for some private individ-
ual or concern; 50 much so that [
have looked into the whole PROPOSE
ton very carefully myself, with a
Wow to purchasing it, but so far as
municipal ownership is concerned /
am distinctly opposed to it. The
large holdings of many taxpayers in
Catholic. Jewish and other cemeteries
where those people Will bury their
cad for many years to come makes
It unfair that they should be called
upon to pay taxes for something from
which they will receive no benefit"

AND HIS ASSOCIATES WIN POWDER SUIT

Discussing the charges that the COM
pany's credit was used by tho syndi-
cate the decision says
After due consideration OF this phase
OF the case we are OF opinion and SO
find. FIRST. that when Coleman dupont
ON February i6. 1915. offered to sell to
Pierre dupont his entire holdings OF
the company or 1859 preferred and
632ii common stock that neither Pierre
nor ihe syndicate In their own then
relations as officers OF the company or
by any prior relation OF Pierre as al
legged agent 20 negotiate for the 20,
zoo shares FOR the benefit Of the COM
.panys employees, were disqualified 70
buy Colemans stock; and, secondly.
that IN subsequently obtaining The
credit and money 10 pay for said stock.
Pierre dupont and his syndicate a--
sociates made no use Of the credit or
resources of the powder company ol
took any Illegal advantage Of their sew
eral Official relations 90 the company
The decision then takes up the mas
ter's election where the stockholders
voted Overwhelmingly agdinst the com
pany taking over the stock. 10 points
out that there was really a business
question involved which should have
heen submitted 10 a stockholders vote.
10 recites at great length the testimony
of directors of The company who hac
told of The uncertainties OF the busl-
ness on which they had based their re
fusal IN the FIRST place 10 buy this stock
and the court pointed out that the
stockholders meeting held by the mas
ter had the full benent Of after events.
Of the fun disclosure OF all the facts
which had been proved in this case and
Of a full discussion OF such proof by
the district iudse. yet In spite OF all
this excluding from such vote the stock
purchased from Coleman dupont. the
large majority Of the stockholders OF
the powder company voted against
huving the stock The court decides
that there was no reason why the stock
held by those who had bought the
Coleman dupont stock and by relatives
should not be allowed TO vote.
The court sustained the master In
an o. his ulings at the election. and
10 added that the master did no in
Justice in his conduct Of the courts
election.
AZ the end Of the decision the court
says that believing that Philip F du-
pont. who was an unofficial stockhold-
er. flled his bin "as he conceived 10 for
the benefit and protection OF like stock
holders and for the benefit Of the COM
pany. we are inclined 30 the belief that
the decree Of the court below might be
modified by directing that the costs Of
The case he paid by the powder com
pany. While this Is our present view,
yet as that question was not raised or
any person or party so desiring 70 bo
heard on that question, but n no one
so moves we will. as we have said. SO
rectins the powder company 10 pay the
costs OF the case.

that respect the gist and theory OF the
b.ll are properly summarized In ne
brief Of plant rs counsel as follows
ION December 8 1918. The present blll
was filed by Phillp +. dupont on be
half OF hlms,li and other stockholders
alleging that Pierre dupont and his as
soclates had fraudulenily and 10 viola
ton OF their duties TO the Powder
Company acquired the Coleman .~ock
Tor themselves Instead OF FOR The COM
pany."
II will therefore appear from The
plead.ngs of the bin, and from The alb
sence OF proof that such agency was
alleged or urged on The several occ1-
sions referred 20 above, tnat the real
ground Of recovery coniended Tor Is
not the failure of Pierre dupont In
dlvidually 90 perform duties imposed on
him as an agent by The finance COM
m ttCe on December %. but that p erre
dupont and his associates lwho so
far as the proofs so had no part or
even knowledse OF such alleged agency
OF Pierre had after coleman withdrew
his Offer. fraudulently violated their
duty as Officers of The powder com
pany In buying such stock. 10 further
appears that from The proof that such
fraudulent violation OF their duty as
officers was % conclusion based on the
premise that the syndicate could not
have bought the Coleman stock unless
they had made use OF the powder com
pany's credit and resources and mic
used their position AS officers TO do
so. And because they had made an
otherwise Impossible purchase 10 Is
urged that the fact OF the purchase IN
and OF itself necessarily convicted
these men OF bad faith and fraud as or
ncers Of the company. THIS position
was summarized by Alfred dupont IN
testimony already quoted. Il then said
TO his pierre dupont don't do this. It
Is wrong, Tie asked me why 10 was
wrong / said because you have lc-
compl she'd something by virtue OF the
power and influence vested In you as
an officer Of the company and by
knowledge which You coul6 only have
acquired IN your official capacity which
YOU could not have accomplished as a
private individual For that reason the
stock which you have acquired tn This
matter does not belong 10 you but be-
longs 10 the company which you rep
resent" No clearer moro concise
statement OF the theory OF this b il and
OF Alfred duPonts consistent reasoning
and contention In support Of 10 could
De made than these words which II
viii be observed In no way embody any
allegation relation or malfeasance Of an
agent but on the contrary, Is based on
PIerre's duty as an on Ger Of the com
pany. That this was Alfreds contention
is shown by other witnesses. Francis

OF the Dupont family on March !, aud
gives no account OF the meetng Ills
