COMPANY
IN NEW DEAL
New Corporation Takes Over Hold
ings Of Plant and Studebaker Fac
tory at South Bend.

NEW YORK, Feb. Ia new Stude-
baker corporation. to take over the
immense wagon plant OF the Slude-
bakers, at South Bend, Ind, and The
automobile plant at Detroit Of the
EMF. Co., was announced today,
kleinwort Sons & Co., of London,
are associated with Goldman Sachs &
Co.. and Lehman Brothers. by the pilr-
chase of $13,500,000 OF seven per cent
'comrlative preferred stock OF the
new organization.
Proceeds from the sale OF the pre-
ferred will be used for the pur-
chase Of the EMF Co. plant and for
the liquidation of the bonded indebt-
edness,of the company to be absorbed.
After this Is done a considerable
amount will remain as cash working
capital.
Control OF the new corporation, II
is said, will remain with the Studebak-
er interests, through the ownership
OF the common stock. Arrangements
have been made for chartering the
corporation with an authorized capital
OF $4,000. 900, consisting of $16,000,-
600 of preferred stock and $4,000, 900
of common.
The Significance of the sale OF the
EMF. Company Is considered. in
Detroit, to be one OF the moves Of
the Morgan interests who have con-
trolled considerable share of the
EMF. stock, during the past year.
J. Fierpont Morgan, II is understood,
advanced to the Studebakers con-
siderable loan at the time the South
Bend men purchased the EMF. COM
pany, nearly a year ago. During the
life OF the loan the Morgan interests
reserved the right to have strong
representation on the board of direc-
tors. They also took, at the time the
loan was made, an option on the com
bined Detroit and South Bend plants.
eligible In case the Studebakers
should fail to pay back the entire
Joan by Jan. l, 1911.
In the neighborhood Of s7,000,090
figured In the original sale OF the
col Ipany. when the Studebakers
bought In.
While the fact could not be verified
at the EMF. company's local head
quarters, 1t is believed that the latest
change in ownership has resulted
from this option. A large combina-
ton to be known as the American
Vehicle Co. is believed to be the ulti-
mate aim of the Morgan interests, the
Studebaker wagon and commercial
motor car plants and the eight plants
CT the EMF. company being added
TO the large holdings which Mr.. Mo-
gan already has secured In other
automobile manufacturing concerns.
On the other hand, II the Morgan
interests are not represented In the
new deal. II looks like the Studcbak-
ers have secured a new, loan to retire
the Morgan obligation.
The EMF. company is one OF the
largest employers of labor In Detroit,
and also maintains plants In Pontiac
and Port Huron. Its program was re-
Gently announced for 1911 and includ-
ed the manufacture OF $4,000 EN-. IF.
$50" and Flanders 30" automobiles.

With Ed Jorgenson, Hearn has been mining on r,arsN t4ss and l4, below discovery of Tenderfoot creek, on the upper Panama. Finishing the cleanup he started to town with the dust, but yesterday while drifting down the Tanana river, the swift waters of the stream, at point about fourteen miles above town, capsized his boat, the boat going to the bottom. Hearn came on into Fairbanks, where he had drag manufactured at local black smith shop and last night, in company with some friends, went up river to grapple for the lost gold. Fortunately the water was relatively shallow where the poke went down and the party re. turned this morning tired but triumph ant.
