Truman ADDING MACHINES" MEMORY FAILS HIM ON
STAND; HENRY F MOVER CAN'T REMEMBER

The testimony of Henry F.
Meyer at the trial of the million
aire packers may be divided into
two accurate parts-what Mr..
Meyer remembered, and what
Mr.. Meyer did not remember.
Meyer, who is known to the
packers as "the human adding
machine" is head of the auditing
department of Armour & Com
pany, and the original little
"price fxer."
How Mr.. Meyer ever came to
occupy so responsible a position
with such a memory as he pos
sesses passes understanding.
Here are some of the things he
couldn't remember:
The name of his office assist
ant. (Under pressure, Mr.. Moy-
er recalled that this office assist
ants first name was William, or
Willie, or just plain Bill

witness against the packers in

talked about triumphant democ-
racy,' and he thumped the table,,
and turned his back on the COM
mittee and addressed the gallery.
"The man that owns the land
he tlils is real man." he finished.
Then he refused to Criticize
his successors in business; in
other words, he refused to have
anything to say about the meth
DDS of the Morgan Steel Trust.
Then came Gardeners cold &C
cusation, of evasion, and demand
for direct answers.

Gardner and spoke to Judge ]. A.

the past.
If he had collected any witness
fees for appearing against the
packers at any time. (Mr. Meyer
was witness for the government
both in 1905 and 1907
What Mr.. Meyer contrived to
remember, under the persistent
questioning of District Attorney
Wilkerson amounted to this:
After the Grosscup injunction
in 1908 against further pooling,
the packers quit putting anything
in writing. They carried all fig
ures forming the basis of the 'test
cost" calculations in their heads.
He, Mr.. Meyer, was generally
ordered to figure out from these
.'test cost" figures the price Of
meat.
The entire cost of killing and
preparing carcass is charged
by the packers against the dress
ed carcass. No credit is given for
the hides, fat, or other by-product

"See here, Mr.. Carnegie
shouted Gardner, Judge Reid
can't answer that question for
you"
A spirited argument ensued.
At the close of it, Carnegie re-
marked to Gardner:
IF you were in my position,
and | in yours"
well, I'm not" snapped
Gardner I'm examining you,
and you are on the witness
stand"
Carnegie sighed.

TURKEY MARKS THE TIME

London, Nov. 26.-The extreme
anxiety manifested by all the Euro
pean governments to deny reports of
warlike preparations and to repre-
sent the political situation as peace
full and satisfactory Is In itself an
indication on how slender thread
the issues of peace and war in Eur
ope now hang. The danger arises
not alone from the conflicting inter-
ests of Austria, Servia and the other
powers, but from the possibility that
Turkey, following the traditional
policy of profiting by the embroil-
ment of the great powers may adopt
an irreconcilabIe attitude in the
peace negotiations.
Beyond the fact that the plenipo-
tentiaries met yesterday nothing is
yet known-not even whether an
armistice has been arranged. There
appears to be suspension OF opera

than by formal agreement.
The semi-official Bulgarian news
paper Mir editorially voices the gov
ernment's irritation at Turkeys di-
latary methods of negotiation and
accuses the porte of deliberately
nominating delegates from remote
points in order to gain time. This
probably refers to Osman Miami
Pasha, the ambassador to Germany,
who arrived at Constantinople from
Berlin only yesterday.
IN the diplomatic field the most
important reports are that Servia de-
clines to reply to the Austrian de-
mands until the war is concluded
and that Germany has not undertake

Russia.
The news that Servia is throwing
further obstacles in the way of the
