tence was commuted to life imprisonment
In the Eastern Penitentiary. Later came a
parole.

DU PONT MILLIONS UP
AGAIN IN U. S. COURT
Defendants in Lost Suit File
Protest to Plaintiffs' Petition
for Disposition
WILMINGTON, Del., June 1 2.
Protest was mado In the United States
District Court here today by the defendants
In tho suit to control the $240,000,000 assets
of the du I'ont Powder Company nuainst
th njttltlnn nt (tin nlnlntlrfu (tint Iha Irtnlr
formerly owned by ricnenil T. Coleman
du Pont, now worth nbout $00,000,000. and
about which the UtlRatlon centers, bo
turned back to the company's treasuty
without a vote by the stockholders.
Judge Thompson. In his decree clvlng
victory to tho complainants, the principal
of whom are Alfred I. nnd Philip F. du
Pont, provided that the stockholders should
vote as to the purchase of tho Coleman du
Pont shares, which are now held by the du
Pont Securities Company, a corporation or
ganized by Pierre S. du Pont nnd other de
fendants especially to hold the common
stock.
Alfred I. du Pont Is a resident of this
city; Philip lives at Merlon
Tho protest. In the form of a brief pre
pared by CieorKe S Oraham. of Phila
delphia, and other counsel for the defend
ants, asserts that the view expressed by
Judge Thompson that purchase of the Cole
man du Pont shares should bo voted upon
Is clearly correct." It adds, "No complica
tion of facts or elaboration of argument
can relieve the complalnnnts of their funda
mental difficulty namely, that today, ns
heretofore, the corporation (du Pont Com
pany) has nothing; more than an equitable
right to buy Its own stock cheap If It
wants to."
In support of this contention the defend
ants attack tho position of the complainants
as "extraordinary," and assert that they
have failed to cite substantial precedent to
support their stand.
"There are. of course," the protest con
tinues, "plenty of decisions to the effect
that a majority cannot put tho property
of tho minority into their own pockets.
There arc also decisions thnt nets Inherently
lllcual or ultra vires can be enjoined by a
single stockholder. But when the question
Involved Is whether the corporation will or
will not exercise the equltnblo right to
compel a corporate officer to surrender
stock of the corporation which he has
bought for himself, there Is no case in the
books, so far as we can find, which even
hints at the right of a minority stockholder
to force the hand of the disinterested ma
jority." Tho complainants further declare no sug
gestion can be made successfully that the
vote by the stockholders on the question of
buying the Coleman du Pont stock, held
under tho supervision of a special master
appointed by the court, will not be entirely
fair or that the "result will not accurately
register the real wishs of fhe disinterested
stockholders."
It Is added that "bound up with the
question of the acquisition of tho stock
Is the problem of what the coriioratlon
shall do with It when acquired."
Doubt Is expressed as to whether the
stockholders would favor reselling the
shares to employes, as was contended by
the complainants should have been done
originally.
The protest concludes:
"A decrto which failed to make provision
for a stock vote would not only be Incon
sistent with the decision of the court, but
would Involve a substitution of Judicial
discretion for that which Is properly exer
cisable by the co-owners of the business
and In the management of their own af
fairs." France Controls Food in Greece
PAWS. Juno 12. Franco has taken over
control of food administration throughout
Oreece, according to formal announcement
today. General Jonnart arrived at Athena
and ordered the landing of French troops
for duty at the Greek capital to. keep order.
The Allies, It Is announced, are huylng the
Thessalonlan crops to distribute to all prov
inces of Greece. Allied posts have estab
llshed control of the Corinthian Isthmus

The Baltimore "Feds," plaintiffs
in the $900,000 suit against the
National and American Leagues,
are represented, nt the right, by
their erstwhile manngcr and for
mer Phillies' infielder, Otto Knabc,
and the trio of attorneys, Stuart
S. Janney, Chester N. Farr, Jr.,
and L. Edwin Goldman, residing
irom leit to right. Fans in tins
city will recognize Connie Mack,
manager of the Athletics, and
Thomas S. Shibe in the picture at
the left. Tho third photograph is
that of the "Umpire," Federal
Judge Dickinson.
Fultz Testifies
in Baseball Suit
Continued from I'nge tine
fielder, objected to tho delivery of the "splt
ter." Finally the umpire said, "Go ahead."
Pitcher Janney wound up, threw the pill
and Dave met It squarely on the nose
by hie answers. Was It a homer?
Well, the Halted are trylnu to prove
thnt undue efforts were made by tho
Moguls to force players to stay with them
and keep up their high standard of hall.
The Ualfed mogulets say that competition
was strangled In this way and thnt the
Federal anti-trust book of rules was thrown
under tho bench.
Uncle Ban Johnson grinned a little nerv
ously as an article telling vigorously of his
attitude toward the Federal IeuKUn In Its
infancy was read from the back files of n
New York paper. The article was written
by Joe Vila, a baseball scribe. Upon being
called to the stand Mr. Vila Identified It
as his work.
Uncle Ban was quoted aa being vindictive
as well as loudly scornful toward the new
league. According to the story he called
the Feds "four-flushcro," their backers pen
niless and their grounds ramshacklo or
nonexistent.
"We are going to fight those pirates to a
finish," Ban is quoted as having said.
ThlB testimony Is regarded as merely the
opening gun of tho prosecution in an ef
fort to show that Johnson, Tener and Herr
mann were extremely vindictive toward
competition and took Illegitimate means
to stifle It.
"Foxy Ned" Hanlon, who has grown less
and less famous nnd moro and more
wealthy since he managed his champ
Superbas years ago, was called to tho stand
and described his baseball career from the
time he played In the outfield of tho Provi
dence team up to when ho held stock in tho
Baltlmoro Feds. He was about to launch
forth Into a more minute account of his
connection with the Balfeds when the
Judge adjourned court for the day.
It was suggested that It might he well
for the Jurors to spend tho afternoon nt the
scene of the crime. Some of them will un
doubtedly visit the ball park, therefore
It Is probable that tho time of the trial
will be materially shortened. A meeting of
all of the counsel In the case, both for the
Baltlmoreans and the defendants, was held
in Judge Dickinson's chambers. It was
hero agreed that the elimination of the reel
tatlon of facts which defendants do not dis
pute, but which clog tho records and tend
to prolong the hearing greatly, bhould be
effected.

POST-SEASON BATTLE
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL'S
HOPEFUL FORECAST
Says Country Will Be in Condi
tion to Wage Vigorous War
by End of July
By tho latter end of July Russia will be
In better position to wage war than ever.
This prediction was made today by Prof.
Boris U. Shatsky, of the olllclal Information
bureau established In New York by th
Ilussian Provisional finveinment. He. with
II. II. .Sack, another representative of the
Itusslnn CSoverument, visited Philadelphia
today to view the pint and got In touch
with the business conditions In fills city.
It was after leturnlng from the trip
on the river, which was made on the harbor
boat M. S. Quay, that 1'iofessor Shatsky
made the optimistic prediction roncernlng
Russia
Many of the reports we rccohe here, he
Bald, only come from the surface of things.
Ho asserted that the extreme clement in
Itussla would not gel the upper hand nnd
declared that the attempt tn establish a sep
arate government In the Fortress Kronstadt
did not ninount t oanytlilng.
Itegardlng the probable effect of Presi
dent Wilson's letter tn Itussla, Professor
Shatsky said It was In neenrdnnro with the
advanced thought nnd Ideas or the Ilusslani
of today. He left Itussla two months ago,

Henry Woodhouse Declares They
Would Blind Germans and

Here's What It Takes
to Make a Good Flyer
A MAN, preferably between tho
ages of eighteen and twenty-five.
A man intelligent enough to make
military observations and calculate
situations carefully and quickly.
A man of honor and integrity
above reproach because of the re
sponsibility reposed in him.
A man preferably not long out of

sourceful, daring, yet cautious.
NKW YORK. Jube 12.
The great Allied victory nt Mcssines ridge,
largely made posslhlo by the blinding of the
Hermans by Allied filers, proves conclu
snely that America's Immediate and big
gest task .Is to get 100.000 planes nnd 10,000
fighters to Kurope to help put Germany's
fighting eyes out. In the opinion of Henry
Woodhouse. of the Aero Club of America,
here today.
' By speeding up." snld Woodhouse to
dav "we can do this In twelve months, end
the war on a military basis long beforo It
could otherwise he ended nnd save thou
sands of lives and billions of dollars."
The element of time Is the most Impor
tant." ho continued "We wait on nothing
but a hnlf-bllllon-dollar appropriation from
Congress. The Council of National De
tente Is organized to proceed quickly
through the nlrcraft production board.
' To make fewer than 100,000 planes and
train fewer than 10,000 men may lead to
fearful consequences on tho front. We must
hae $600 000.000 to start at once The
actual sum needed Is $1,000,000,000.
"If we hurry and Congress must give us
quick help In this we can do In twelve
months what it took the British two years
to accomplish There will be no trouble
getting tho men. They arc at hand, waiting
only on Congress.
"We must strike flermany through the
air. quick.
"That the Teuton Is vulnerable there now
is proved by dispatches stating that the
Cermans' planes havo been collapsing In
midair whenever any part was hit by the
Allied guns. In the past that happened
only when the most vital parts of the air
plane. t,uch as the bracing wires, were hit.
"Flying men must he Intelligent, quick
witted, honorable, above reproach, not too
heavy, not over 170 nt most, resourceful
and cautious enough to take the greatest
advantage possible of every situation with
safety to their lles and equipment."
AIR BATTLES TO COME
WITH 2000 MACHINES
ENGAGED, SAYS PEARY
Hv a Staff Corrtnpondenl
WASHINGTON, June 12.
Aerial battles with BOO to 1000 aeroplanes
on a side engaged In the combat will soon
take the place of present engagements be
tween squadrons of twelve machines, accord
ing to the testimony given today by Rear Ad.
tnlral Robert K. Peary before the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee. He appeared to
advocate tho creation of a Department of
Aeronautics, with tho Secretary of Aeronau
tics a Cabinet officer.
"So far the development of flying." said
Admiral Peary, "has heen n question of
airmanship. It has been the development
of the Individual man nnd the Individual
machine, but now they are beginning to
operate them In squadrons of twelve. Soon
they will be operating in brigades of D00
to 1000 machines. Air strategy and air
tactics aro to follow the Individual work
of flyers.
"Recently we have received reports of
the operation of airplanes at three levels
simultaneously Thoso machines., close to
the ground stirring up tho guns nnd tho
batteries, those on the next level spotting
for shcllftre. those on tho third level recon-noiter'-ig.
Tho hydroaeroplane is the cheapest and
moit efectlvo antidote wft have today to
tho suh-.rarlne menace If we had 1000
aeroplanes now wo would Increase our shin
efficiency 200 or 300 per cent.
Kven In the present Infnncy stage of
development of the airplane French hydro
aeroplanes are having more engagements
with German submarines than the French
patrol boats."
Admiral Peary submitted figures to sub
stantlato his claims.
This summer," he said. "It will be pos
slblo to patrol our coasts rapidly, contin
uously, minutely, for a distance of 160 to
200 miles out from our coasts and next
summer wo should he able to extend that
to B00 miles. But it means thousands In
stead of hundreds of machines."
"A machine has been developed now"
said Admiral Peary, "that carries 4000
pounds of dead weight In addition to Its
own weight. Two operators, two machine
guns and a vast amount of ammunition
can bo carried."

flies Important naval secrets. j
Tho Secretary brands the mysterious '
correspondent of Senator Frelinghuysen
whoso revelations started the Investigation'
by tho Senate Naval Affairs Committee, z '
spy or traitor. In other quarters there Is a.
disposition to regard tho person as some on
actuated by patriotic motives.
Secretary Daniels particularly defended
tho fuses now Ih use on Uncle Sam's war- '
ships. He declared that they were tho best
procurable and had been Indorsed by Rear ,
Admirals Twining, Strauss and Karle, who?
havo successively been chiefs of ordnance'1'

Agreement by Parties in Con

WASHINGTON, June 12.
Democratic and Republican leaders of th4
House agreed today upon a plan to provlda.
Immediately funds for the War Department,
which has been embarrassed by the delay la
final approval of tho big war budget. Th'
Republicans who entered objection to re
quests of Chairman Dent, of tho Military
Committee, to make Immediately available)
tho regular army appropriations for th
next fiscal year, promised today to permit
passage of the Dent resolution before nljht
In the event tho bigger war budget Is not
out of conference by that time.
Th big budget of more than (3,000,000,009
Is tied up because of the Senate and House
conflict over the appropriation for the pur-'
chase of tho Jamestown Exposition site as
a naval base, the House having refused to
agree. Chairman Dent said failure to pais
the $3,000,000,000 emergency war bill had
crippled the military establishment and tha
situation could be met temporarily only by
making 1918 army appropriations available
at once. Tha rules committee acted favorably
on a special rule for the Dent resolution and
Republican leaders also withdrew their
opposition.
