New York. Feb. 24.-Young Jacques
Mallet. of Paris, who was sent TO New
York by his parents to learn the bank
ing methods of the United States and
also to get him away from certain am
satory diversions, may not have a high
~ developed sens Of the proprieties,
but he is a thoroughbred. When the
cruel and unfeeling United States gov
ernfnent sent his sweetheart, fascinat-
ing Nellie Roselle, out OF the country
as an undesirable alien, Jacques Mallet
went on the same ship-La Provence.
w hope you will ave a pleasant
voyage" said the news reporters to
young Jacques Mallet.
Take it from me-" he replied with
more of a Broadway than a French ac-
cent, II will"
Thus did Jacques Mallet foil the
government of the United States. Pre-
suiTably he had learned all he desires
to know about American banking meth
ode. He longs for that bright, fever
ish Paris, where a government may
not interfere in a nan private affairs.

PACKERS MERCER
COMES TO LIGHT
Details Of Transaction Which
Was Frustrated by Panic
and the Government.

New York, Feb. 22.-The agreement
under which the four largest packing
houses OF the country were to have
been consolidated was mad public IN
the course of the trial of the suit Of
Frederick Joseph against Ferdinand
Sulzberger, of the firm of Schwarzchild
& Sulzberger, for the recoyery of $2a9,
600 of stock which the plaintiff charges
Mr.. Sulzberger with converting to his
own use.
Mr.. Joseph testified that the agree
ment provided for merging into one
corporation of the SchwarzchiId & Sulz-
berger the Armour Packing
company. the Swift Packing company,
and the Nelson Morris Packing COM
pany. Provision was also made for alb
sorbfng the Cudahy Packing company.
Under the terms of the agreement the
stock Of the SchWarZchild & Sulzberger
company was to be exchanged for $3.50
in cash for preferred stock and 5000 in
common stock of the new corporation.
In the course of the acquisition of
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger stock pre-
paratory to it being urned into the
pool, 723 7-8 sllares are alleged to have
been purchased for the account Of MIR,
Joseph at an average price of $I2.51 q
share. These shares, Mr.. Joseph de
clared We're tulned over to Mr.. Sul2-
berger, who represented the SchwaGz-
child & Sulzberger company III the
merger negotiations.
Owing to the action of tie govern
ment and the panic of 1907 the pro-
posed consolidation fell through, how
ever, II Mr.. Joseph requested that the
stock contributed by him to the pool
be returned to him. This Mr.. Sulz-
berger has refused to do. the plaintiff
alleges, and it is in order to compel
him to do so that the present action
is brought.
Since it's purchase the stock has
gained in value and is now worth. it is
alleged. the amount sued for by Mr..
Joseph.
