OBJECTED TO THE STATEMENT.
And International Paper Company Sued
Lewiston Journal.

New York, Jan. 3l.--A question as to
whether the International Paper com.
pany is a trust is indirectly presented
in a libel suit in which the testimony
is now being taken before United States
Commissioner Alexander here.
The Lewiston (MaineD journal is said
to have referred to the company as a
Trust in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law, and the company's suit for
libel brings this statement in issue.
As officers of the paper company re-
side here, ii was agreed that their de-
positions should be taken before a COM
missioner.
Alonzo n. Burbank, president and
treasurer of the international Paper
company, testified that the International
Paper company was formed in 1893 by
the purchase Of Is paper mills. He said
that the total authorized capital stock
was S45.00o.000 which. to the best of
his recollection. was divided into $25,.
100000 in preferred stock and $4,000
coo in common stock.
An issue of Sl0.000,000 in bonds was
also authorized, he said, at the time
OF incorporation.
Mr. Burbank testified that he had been
treasurer of the Fall Mountain Paper
company and the Winnipiscogee Paper
company, both of which were purchased
by the international company.
He said these companies were paid
for by bonds and stocks OF. the Inter
national company, 20 per cent. of the
purchase price being in bonds and the
remainder in stock. He thought that
all the other companies had been pur-
chased in the same way.

George Adair swears by it. And the
