Original Agreement is Shown, Giving

Concern-Bought Up
Independents.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Details of the
plan for a $50O,OOO,OOO merger of the
Armour, Swift and Morris interests
In 1902, by which, the government
contends, it was sought to control the
meat industry of the country, were
revealed in the trial of the ten Chi
cago packers before United States
The contract, which was dated May
81, 1902, was read to the jury and Of
fered in evidence by counsel for the
government. The original agreement
was produced in court by Albert H.
Veeder, attorney for Swift & Co., who
was called by the government as its
first witness.
Attorney Veeder testified that the
plans for the giant merger were
abandoned, and that in March. 1903,
the National Packing company was
organized to operate certain independ
ent packing companies purchased with
a view to including them in the big
company
Under the terms of the agreement
the three large packing corporations
and their subsidiary companies, to-
gether with recently acquired indie
pendent companies. We're to be merged
into one giant concern, Armour,
Swift and Morris to receive bonds and
preferred stock of the new company
in payment for the value of their
tangible property.
In addition to this, the promoters
were to receive $250O0,000 worth of
the new company's stock for intangi-
BILE property and large block of
common stock for their good will.
this amount to be fixed by the earn
ings of the different plants during the
first year of the new merger.
The promoters planned to borrow
$90,000,000 to finance the giant cor
poration. The appraised valuation of
Armour, Swift. Morris and their sub
sidiary companies was given at $780,.
100000.
Each of three promoters deposited
$1,O00,0OO with a Chicago bank as an
evidence of good faith. but they were
compelled to drop the plan because
of the failure of certain New York
capitalists to furnish the funds needed.

Warrensburg, NO., Dec. 23.-Safe-

before they had finished the work of
entering the vault of the Warrens-
burg post office, have left Govern

solve.
The robbers first blew the outer
door of the vault and when fright
ened had filled the cracks about the
inner door with nitroglycerine.
The attempt to rob the post office
was made Wednesday night, and
since then government officials have
tried in vain to find safe expert who
can enter the inner doors. Their d.
lemma was not generally known un-

summoned have refused to touch the
safe, saying the chances for an ex-
plosion are too'great to take the risk.
