a little less than 10 cents, which Is
less than it can be purchased and

for me to get out on my own account

Il can supply 1900 head Of cattle

In Australia, from where we used
to get a great deal of beef, they are
agitating the new process of slaugh-

According TO the New York Wo.4l
OF April IL the charges. most of which
have been embodied in papers iued
in secretly conducted court proceed
ings by a committee OF stockholders
and are supported by the reports ri
expert accountants of the books OF
the company, are to the effect that J.
p. Morgan & Co. fiscal agents of the
company, and a majority OF the board
Of directors, acting in harmony vita
the desires of leading BODYBUILDING n.
terests, deliberately threw the COmma-
ny into receivership in its first period
of prosperity and have since kept it
there TO their own advantage anil TO
the detriment of the holders Of the
common and preferred stock.
The committee also declares that
the bankrupt 2eompafy had earo"I
more than $4,000, GdH in its year OF
insolvency and had on hand cash and

Records from the books Of the COM

Morgan in 1902 had launched his ship
ping trust with its $l01,000.00 of
stock and $7O,000.000 of bonds, the
Morgan firm. fiscal agents Of the com
pany from its inception. repeatedly
saved the company from default by
granting il loans or permitting over
drafts. This was in the period when
the ship was laundering, but, thanks
to the elder Morgan, always able to
float ~ . :.
BY contrast it is charged that the
records show that the present J. p.
Morgan, though his firm VAS still
fiscal agent of the company, consented
to a default of interest on bonds at a
time when the company was not only
solvent but when it had one deposit in
his own house much more than sutIt-.
cient funds to meet the interest pay
ments. This was in the period when
the ship was sailing blithely. but soon
and suddenly left derelict
