+ New York. Dec. 29.-The investiga-
ton into the so-called milk trust by
Special Deputy Attorney General Cole
man was given added impetus today
by the startling disclosures made by
Marvyn Scudder. the accountant en-
ployed by the state to go over the books
of the larger milk companies in the
city.
Counsel for the Borden Condensed
Milk Co., controlling % per cent of the
fluid milk trade in this city, and the
Sheffield Farms Slawson-Decker Co.,
We're engaged today preparing to meet
the analysis of Mr.. Scudder, who plac-
ed his findings before Referee Brown
yesterday. Mr.. Scudder stated that
the books of the Borden Company
showed that more than $15,000,000 of
the S20,000,O00 capital stock represent
ed trade marks and good will" which
the accountant said represented moth
ing tangible in the way Of assets. On
the company's capitalization dividend
of six per cent. was paid on the pre-
ferred and 10 per cent. On the common
stock
Mr.. Scudder said that the books
showed a surplus OF $S,S24232 made IN
10 years. Special Deputy Attorney
General Coleman is preparing to ask
the company if such profits are pos
sible with milk at eight cents a quart,
what justification the milk companies
had for saying that they were losing
money at that price and had to raise
the price to nine cents a quart.
Mr.. Scudder further showed that of
the Sheffield Company's capitalization
Of 100000. over 100000 was for good
will and there were no tangible as
sets to represent that sum. The books
Of the Sheffield Company showed that
it paid Is per cent. dividends last year
and to date this year % per cent on
its stocks and that its surplus was
s962,672
Enormous profits were shown to
have been made by the Alexander
