CANARY AN ARDENT M0T0RIST
Travelled More Than 10000 Miles In Automobile.

Many dogs and cats regularly re ceiye their airings in motor cars and have shown distinct preference for these rides. but canary bird is the latest addition to the ranks of motor ists
 Dick Levi of Atlanta. Ga, is the par ticular canary that has the distine- ton of being the first in this field and he is said to have travelled over twen- ty thousand miles in motor car J. E. Levi of Atlanta tells an interesting story of Dick. Dicks first ride in an automobile was in a Premier 24, bought by Mir. Levi in Philadelphia in 1906. Dick was one year old at that time, and with MT. and Mrs. Levi his mileage around Philadelphia. in- cluding several trips 10 Boston. was ten thousand miles.
 The three motorists made trip of twelve hundred miles from Boston 10 Atlanta in October, 1906, being the first to cover this route In motor and Philadelphia over the mountains. along the Southern railway. On sev- eral occasions they were out all nighat in their car. sleeping by the roadside. Mir. Levi says they spent three weeks in constant rain during this trip. all the time running on low gear. MT. Levi Is almost always accompanied by Mrs. Levi. who Is also an expert at the wheel of car, and Dick is always the third member of the party. He has become so enamored of motoring that they are afraid to leave him at home for fear that he will do himself body injury. Motoring apparently apparently agrees with him as he Is extremely hardy and is great singer, Besides his motoring he has made three trips to the Pacific coast and re- turn by train. MT. and Mrs. Levi would part with him under no condi- tions. an offer of s250 having been re- fused, 1t is said.

 STATEMENT OF oIsINTEGRA. TON TO U. s. ATTORNEY.

9, July ZZ.-ASSerung that s tary dissolution of the Ma
 sking Co, is bona fide one,
 dn.~i for the beef packers have pre- sented to United States Attorney Will kerson, a formal statement showing the method of distribution of the com pany's assets. The dissolution is sub ject to the approval of the Federal of fcials.
 Assets of the central organization of the packers have been distributed in the following maner:
 The G. H. Hammond Co. is taken over by the Swift interests.
 The Omaha Packing Co.'S plant at Chicago, the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision Go. and the United Dressed Beef Co., of New York are al so acquired by those in control of Swift & Co
 J. Ogden Armour takes over the fol- lowing subsidiaries of the National Co.,.
 The Fowler Packing Co.,, Anglo-Am- erican Provision Co. and the New York Butchers Dressed Beef Provi- sion Co. of New York.
 The Omaha Packing Co. plant at South Omaha is taken over by Morris X Go.
 There has been similar division of branch houses and selling agencies throughout the United States accord ing to statement issued by Mir. Will kerson, based on the packers report of dissolution.
 There will be no mere paper dis solution of the National Packing Co" said MT. Wilkerson.
 The plan that the packers have presented must contain an absolute provision for the dissolution of all the assets of the National Packing Co. In other words, the disintegration of the assets of the holding company must be a real matter and no provisions that would afterward develop into a paper dissolution will be sanctioned until there has been an outright di- vision of the property of the company and there is no joint ownership on the part of the interests which formerly controlled 1t or any of its property"
 The property of the National Pack ing Co. has been distributed among Its stockholders in proportion to the amount of stock held by each of them. It is represented in the statement sub nitted to MT. Wilkerson that as to ab- solutely none of these is there any joint interest as characterized the Ma tional Packing Co. and its subsidiaries The National Car Line Co.,, operat- ing the refrigerator car system of the packers, likewise has been dissolved in accordance with the scheme pro- vided
 Whether the plan of distribution or dissolution will meet with the approv- al of the government is not yet known. The matter will be formally presented to Attorney General Wickersham and he will act on the propsition.
