Miss llrlty I,. Henry of rompton Lake, Ktetiogr.iplier In n rnlcrron law nlllct mid holder of four shares of common stock In the 13 I. 1il I'nnt do Ncinotirs Powder Com pany, ii New Jersey corporation, lias brought unit In the Court of 'hum cry to set nsldo tlio naif of the roimiany'H property lo Ii 1. ilu 1'iiiU ily Netnotirs A Co., the Delaware corporation char tered laKt September. Tho property Involved Is said lo lip Worth moro than !.".,000,000 and was paid for principally by tho Issuance of ttock and debentures of the Delaware Corporation to stnckhnldern In tho New Jersey corporation. Miss Henry con lends that the deal, ostensibly engi neered to finance the manufacture of munitions for tho Allies, was In reality a scheme on the part of tho oflkcrs and directors to sclzo from tho small stock holders In the original company profits properly belonging to them. The bill of complaint alleges that the ttockhoMcrrt of tho New Jersey corpora tion were Induced to sanction the sale by mean of u misleading circular letter Bent out by the directors. It Is charged that the letter failed to Inform the stockholders that tho Delaware, company was to have so large a capital stock as 9:40.000,000, with which It was. char tered, and It Is also alleged that the plea that the company needed moro capital to conduct properly Its Increasing busi ness wun a deception. The relief sought Is that the Dela ware company shall be compelled to re turn the special dividends of 28 'i nnd 22 '4 per cent, respectively, declared Ince Its organization last fall, and that tho statu of the New Jersey company with respect to Its holdings In New Jer sey, netware and Maryland shall be restored as It existed prior to tho trans- ' , It Is set forth that when the Dela ware corporation was organized by the officers nnd stockholders oxvnlng a con trolling Interest In the New Jersey com pany Its stock had no value whatever. The present value Is nttTlbuted solely to tho property ncnulred from the New Jersey company In a manner alleged by Miss Henry to be fraudulent and In vio lation of the corporation laws of tho State. VIce-Chancellor Howell has granted a preliminary Injunction restraining the Delaxvaro corporation from disposing of any of Its property, except In the usu.it course of Its business, pending n llnal hearing. The rule Is returnable at Chancery Chambers in Jersey City next Monday, DAIRY PRODUCTS MARKET. SETTER AlthouBh posted receipts were II.
