PLANS FOR PACKING
MERGER ADVANCED


CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Plans for the
acquisition of Morris and company by
Armour and company were considered
as advanced today after meeting
yesterday by officials of both con-
Germs.
Those in the conference included J.
Ogden Armour, president of the Ar
mour and company, Nelson and Ed
ward Morris, officials of Morris and
company, and legal and financial ex-
perts representing both packing
houses
No statement was made by the con-
ferees but it was generally under
stood that arrangements for paying
the reported $4,000, 900 purchase
price were discussed.
Mr.. Armour made his first public
statement yesterday since it was re-
ported that Armour and company
planned to absorb Morris and compa-
ny, but it contained no mention OF
that move. 1t was an explanation o.
the formation of Armour and com.
pany of Delaware.
In carrying out the division of the
old company into two corporations
Mr.. Armour is understood to have
pledged considerable portion of his
! private fortune. One transaction in
volved, it was understood a loan Of
| $20,000,000 arranged with a group OF

FIND LONDON SHOPS
CROWDED WITH FAKE
ANTIQUE FURNITURE

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The methods by
which thousands of persons are cheat
ed annually through the sale by deal
ers of antique furniture, draperies and
porcelain which are faxed" We're
shown recently when an antique deal
er was brought into court charged with
fraud.
During the trial it was declared that
dealers sell thousands of pounds worth
of antiques every year to American
tourists visiting England, and that
probably less than five percent of the
purchases are real.
The methods of the antique dealers
in taking their wares are carried out
so skillfully that the experts differed
widely in their opinion of many of the
pieces brought into court. The favor
lite system of the crooked dealer is to
obtain a genuine antique of certain
period, for instance a chair. This he
will take apart, and reconstruct num-
Der of new chairs of the same design,
each one containing a section of the
original chair. 1t was shown during
the hearing that an antique bedstead
had been taken to pieces, and that the
IL duplicates fashioned in accordance
with this system has sold for $4,000
each.
In taking china the work is more
difficult. Here the dealer must make
copies conforming infinitely to the orig
inal and bearing the makers signature
This requires skill which few per
sons possess nowadays, and which
easily battles the experts.
1t is estimated that 90 percent of the
antiques now being shown in LondoT
are not what they are represented Il
be.

CHRISTMAS
Continued from Page one.)

mail was cancelled by hand each day.
This brings the total pieces of first
class mail cancelled during the week
to more than a quarter of million.
These figures, however, do not tell
the entire tale, because hundreds of
pieces of prepaid mail, which do not
have to be cancelled, were handled
among the first-class mail, and on
Tuesday of this week, the day follow
ing Christmas, more than q 900 pieces
of first-class mail was run through
the cancelling machine.
Comparison Shows Rush
When one compares these facts with
the announcement that an average to-
tai of mail handled in week is but
$4,000, a fair idea of the rush business
is attained. Total amount of first
class mail handled during the Christ
mas week last year was 169, 900 pieces,
or Al 900 fewer letters and cards than
were handled during the Christmas
week this year. The largest number of
pieces of first-class mail ever handled
in one day was on Friday before Christ
mas when $4,000 pieces were run
through the cancelling machine. Forty
thousand pieces in one day was the
previous record.
Mailing of Christmas greetings this
year exceeded in quantity the total OF
any previous year. One minister in
this city is reported to have received
more than 400 Christmas greeting cards
during Christmas week. In addition to
the large first-class mail business, the
Ipostoffice also had to care for the other
classes of mail matter, working day
and night the Sunday before Christmas
and on Christmas day to distribute
parcels arriving at the office.
