DEATH OR PRISON
GEN. REYES FATE
Court Martial Will Judge the Mis-
guided Rebel at the National
Capital-Madero May Be
Lenient.

City of Mexico, Dec. 26.-Death
may be the penalty General Reyes
will pay for his effort to overthrow
President Madero. The least he can
expect is 10 years Imprisonment.
The Mexican law provides those ex-
tremes for the crime of melting re-
bellion. 1t is not generally believed
that the extreme penalty will be in
flicted, but a term in the penitenti-
airy for the 74-year-old soldier
doubtless would be equivalent.
Orders were sent to Gen. Trevino
at Monterey to have Gen. Reyes
brought to the capital as oson as
possible. He is expected here by the
last of the week. Little time will
be lost in placing him on trial.

STATE WILL RECEIVE
S3,5S7 FROM FORESTS

Little Rock, Dec, Ex-Governor
Donaghey yesterday received let
ter from T. Il. Davis Of the United
States Treasury Department, stat
ing that the states share of the re-.
ceipts from the national forests in
Arkansas for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1911, VII amount TO S3,487.-
on. 1t was stated that vouchers for
this amount had been issued and
lit is expected the money will be paid
within a short time.
The state receives 25 per cent of
all the revenue from the sale of
timber from the national forests.
The letter from the Treasury De-
partment shows that the greatest
revenue has been obtained from the
Arkansas forest in the western part
of the state. The states share of
the receipts from this forest will
be S3,235.09. From the revenue of
the Ozark forest, in the northern
part of Arkansas, the state will re-
ceive $25i.95.

A Test for Madero.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The treat
ment to be accorded General Reyes,
now that he has surrendered, will
be a conclusive test of the stability
of the Madero government. Under
the Mexican military code, the pun
ishment prescribed for rebellion is
death, but State Department Off
Gals are inclined to believe such a
sentence will not be imposed.
1t is believed the military COM
mission which will try General
Reyes will convict him, but the YER
dict, it is said, will be accompanied
by recommendation for elemency.
President Madero himself is the only
agency who can exercise the par
doning power. And his action, it is
believed, will demonstrate the de-
gree Of confidence he feels in his
ability to maintain true republican
form of government in Mexico.

MERGER PLANNED
First Days Testimony in Packers
Trial Brings Out Startling Details
-$90,000,000 Loan Failed
10 MateriaIize.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-Details Of the
plan for a s5O0,00O0O0 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 given today in the trial Of the
10 indicted Chicago packers.
The contract, which was dated
May 81, 1902, was read TO the jury
and offered in the evidence by coun-
sci for the government.
The original agreement was pro-
duced 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 mer-
ger were abandoned, and that in
March of 1903 the National Packing
Company was organized to operate
certain independent packing COM
.panies purchased with a view of in
GLIDING them in the big combine.
Planned $9O,OO0,0OO Borrow.
Under the terms Of the agreement
the three large packing corpora
tions and their subsidiary companies,
together with recently acquired in
dependent companies, were to be
merged into one concern, and Ar
|mour, Swift & Morris were to re-
|ceive bonds and preferred stock in
the new company in payment of the
value of their tangible property. In
addition to this, the promoters were
to receive $25,000000 worth of the
new company's stock for intangible
property, and a large block of COM
mon stock for their good will, this
Iamount to be fixed by the earnings
of the defendants plants during the
first year of the new merger.
The promoters planned to borrow
S90,000000 to finance the giant cor
poration. The appraised valuation OF
Armour, Swift, Norris and their
Subsidiary companies was given at
Si80,000,000. Each of the three
promoters deposited 100000 with
a Chicago bank as an evidence OF
good faith, but they were compelled
to drop the plan because of the fail
lure of certain New York capitalists
| to furnish the funds needed
Veeder was on the witness stand
Throughout the day, and will con-
ltinue his testimony tomorrow
Pleaded Immunity.
Attorney John S. Miller, in behalf
of the packers created surprise
/ by reviving the immunity plea sue
Icessfully used by the packers sew
| ral years ago when they were pros
Iecuted by the government.
He commended that the immunity
plea applied to all of the 10 defend
ants, who testified before the Gar
field investigation commission.
Gounsl for the government con-
tested the motion on the ground
that the court had already passed
on the question in ruling against the
lplea in abatement.
Judge Carpenter reserved decision
on the motion and directed the gov
eminent to proceed with its case.
