(By Telegraph to virginian-Pilot.)
Indianapolis, June 1o.-The Sentinel
tomorrow Will say:
''rhe trust mania has reached the
breweries and it may be said that n
scheme is on foot to form u trust with
$1,000. 100000 capital and buy up all the
breweries in the country
1T Is said that the scheme, which
is at present only In It's inception. re-
ceived Impetus at the national conven-
ton of brewers at Detroit, when plans
were discussed secretly.
1T is said that several big Indiana
capitalists are lending their support TO
the gigantic program, among them
Crawford Fairbanks, the brewer Of
Terre Haute. Mr.. Fairbanks was seen
at the Denlson House to-day. He was
somewhat evasive and said that six
months ago he had heard of such a
movement. but not recently. He said
that no option had been secured on his
brewery. He finally denied that he had
knowledge of q projected trust
.. Joseph G. Shat president of the
american Brewing Company of this
city, who returned to-day from Detroit
where he attended the national meet
ING or brewers, talked in an entirely
diiterent vein. He admitted that the
SUBJECT of a brewery trust was a. tonic
or private consideration at the conven-
ton. at which 600 leading brewers were
present. He said the matter is i'm its
infancy now. He had calculated. he
sad. that something more than a bill
lion dollars capital would be required.
as there are 1900 brewcries in the coun-
Try TO be bought up. 1t is understood
that an option has been placed by the
trust on Mr.. Shafts brewery and this
ne did not deny. When asked how
many options have been secured in In
dianapols, he said:
AT n guess, l should say eight or
ten go date.
MI Shat declined to say who are
pehind the brewery trust. but replied
IN response to that question: Eastern
capitalists are promoting the trust
