as to the affairs OF the defunct corpora,

much OF the history OF the corpora.
ton and acts of the men prominent IN
ITS history.
He confirmed the claim Of the bond
holders that Max Pam. counsel Tor
Charles NJ. Schwab. had suggested a
number OF directors for the shipbuilc-
ing combination and said that the pro-
posed expenditure S2,S02,000 for i'm
pTovements at the bethlehem steel
works had been approved by the di-
rectOrs over his protest and warning
mat the action might, in the end,
leave the main corporation without
funds and wreck IL.
Mr.. Nixon swOre that after this ex-
penditure was approved he made sever.
al attempts 10 secure a meeting Of the
directors and that Mr.. Schwab had fin
ally told him he had instructed the d.
rectOrs to remain away from a meet
ing An effort was made TO show that
the directors elected at the suggestion
OF Pam had not been stockholders, but
had been given shares enough TO quail
~, but Mr.. Nixon had no personal
knowledge OF the transaction.
Mr.. Nixon testified that, by a resOlu.
ton OF the directors passed in Decem.
Der last, Pam was given a salary Of
$4,000 a year, which was dated back
to the preceding September. He also
testified that, besides his bonus as an
underwater and the sums paid for the
Bethlehem property, Schwab received
a share OF the promotion money, part
OF which he gave TO Charles Gates Of
Harris, Gates & COmpal4y.
IL was brought out in Mr.. NixOn's
testimony that misleading statements
as TO Inc personnel OF the directors
had been made in a prospectus issued
in June, 1902, and that John w. Young,
the promoter. had taken options in his
name. According to Mr.. Nixon secrecy
was observed in paying vendors only
because Promoter Young did not want
them TO know what was being paid for
each plant There has been much
mystery over the cutting OF the checks
given to the venGOrs and it is possible
Mr.. NixOn's explanation will clear it
away.
Charles Canda was the only other
witness Of the day, taking the stand
before Mr.. Nixon was called. He testi-
fed tuat the Canda Manufacturing
company. for which 81 100, 900 in cash
and securities was paid, had a plant
at GarteTet, n. j., Luilt for the manu-
facture of car wheels. but that at the
time of its purchase it was turning
out some experimental work in motor
carriages. IL had made about 100 ma
chimes and employed about 40 men.

useful in connection with some OF the
