Colonel Buckner said at times there was reason to fear the company would not be able to complete its for- eign contracts.

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 stockhold- ers against Pierre S. duPont and cer- tain directors who are accused of hav- ing purchased the common duPont stock for thelr 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 $56,000,000. FRISCO SYSTEM SOLD. Road’s Bondholders Take Over Road For $45,700,200.
