DETAILS OF THE PLAN.
Reports concerning the actual terms
of the consolidation differ. The most
reliable light shed upon the subject
was the plan outlined by Boston au-
thoritv, who has possessed the most in.
side information about the deal ever
since its existence was rumored in the
early part of last spring. According to
this expert the new concern is to be
capitalized at the rate of twenty. We
times the last years earnings of the con-
stitutent companies. For example,
Cudahy 4 Co, are said to nave earned
about 7$620,0OO in 1901, which would
make their share of the capital stock of
the merger, SCI ,O0O,0 900. A four per
cent dividend that the new consolida.
tion might be expected to declare
would amount to $S40, 900 on this lot of
approximately its legitimate
earnings. sag $,

membered when Vansant was prepar-
ing for his defense ON the charge OF
perjury.
Tarbutton testified that he came to

Michael +. Kelley and Carol A. Dorsey
testified that Frederick Vansant's gen
eral reputation for truth and veracity
in the community in which he resides
is bad. and that they would not believe
him on his oath.
The defense rested after witnesses
had testified as to Vansant's character.
The State in rebuttal, made an effort
to dispute Fahey's, that he had first
learned Of Vansants testimony in the
Lynn case, by reading an evening
paper. To prove this, a copy OF the
Evening Journal of December 10, 1901,
was introduced. showing that van
SAINTS testimony was not printed on
