Governor, Eight
Others to Face
Federal Jurors

federal officials distributed tickets to
those entitled to attend the proceed
ings. Witnesses and the defendants
themselves were required to display
tickets before being admitted to the
courtroom.
After Frank Talcott. deputy clerk Of
court, called the list Of prospective
jurors, Judge Miller asked them sew
eral questions collectively and then
began his talk.
He pointed out that the jurors, un-
til excused, are an integral part Of
the court, lust as important as the
presiding Judge while you are here"
Outlines Court History
Judge Miller outlined briefly the
history Of the courts in the United
States, declaring that before defend
ant can be prosecuted in the federal
courts the case must be investigated
by q grand jury.
He explained that indictment by q
grand Jury means that man should
be brought to trial, but It does not
mean he Is guilty" The presumption
Of the law, the court said, Is that the
defendant Is innocent until evidence
produced by the government shows
guilt beyond = reasonable doubt.
Partisanship, he continued, has no
room In the court, adding that It
makes no difference what party elects
q candidate.
THE only question We are interested
In Judge Miller said, rs whether
the defendants are guilty or not gull
ty.
Asks Judgment On Facts
.'Without an honest non-partisan
jury this court cannot give these de-
PENDANTS or the government OF the
United States q fair trial. You are
In Z city where there Is considerable
talk. These defendants have poliu-
cal friends and enemies"
The court said 1T Is inconceivable
TO me that IL honest men" would con-
vict man Of crime he did not com
NIT, or acquit him Of crime OF which
he was guilty because OF POLITICAL
friendship or animosity.

He called attention to the publicity
surrounding the case, warned the
jurors to keep away from the cur
ious," and persons attempting to In
lluence them, declaring such persons

Pointing to the newspapers, Judge
Miller said he believed newspapers
should have the right to publish al
news, but warned against any misrep-
resentation.

WRITING PAPER
To DECIDE ON
PAYMENT
BY JULES KRAMER

American Writing Paper COM
pany directors will meet in New
York on Thursday to decide
whether to pay the June inter-
est on the company's bonds with
the outlook uncertain.
Blaming the sharp rise in costs
due to the NRA and the conse-
quent narrowing in profit mar
gins, officials stated that it would
be prudent" not to pay the in
terest, amounting to $150,0OO on
the $5,188, 500 bonds outstanding.
Would Blame Code
After losses in the last three
years the company reported a
deficit of $l5O,OO0 after bond in
terest in the first quarter of this
year. There has been little i'm
provement since, officials ad-
mitted, for though volume was
running considerably ahead OF last
year, the boost in costs as a re-
suit of the code was absorbing the
increase in business. Officials re.
fused to forecast what the out
come of a default would mean to
the company. The bond linden
ture gives a 60-day grace period
on interest payments after the due
date.
The bonds have been reflecting
the uncertainty and are currently
selling at around 40 cents on the
dollar compared with the years
high of so per cent of par. The
preferred is quoted at SO a share
against the 1884 high of $17.50
and the low of $5.25. The COM
mon is under SO, compared with
low of SIPS and a high of $4.25.
Assets $14,OOO,OOO
The company has total assets of
approximately $14,O00,000. It has
been opera ating as at present con-
stituted since 1927, when it sue
ceeded by reorganization Of the
company of the same name which
went into receivership in 1928.
In May last year stockholders
approved a plan to write down as

the stock to create a capital sur

ARMOUR HEADS
IN ACCORD ON
NEW PLAN
BY International News Service

Directors of the Armour Com
pany, cooperating with Frederick
H. Prince, Boston capitalist and
largest individual shareholder,
have reached an agreement on
the following plan of recapitaliza-
ton, according to information in
Wall Street.
One share Of new Sc con-
vertible preferred stock for
each share of the present 7 per
cent preferred. The new stock
will be convertible into common
stock at any time on the ratio
of six new common shares for
each share of preferred.
Two shares of new common
for dividend accumulation on
each share of the present I
per cent preferred, the accumu-
latiOns amounted on January
last to $21.
One share of new common
for each share of the present
outstanding Glass A shares.
One-haIf a share of new COM
mon for each share Of the pres
ent Class B stock.
The Armour management and
certain of it's stockholders have
been deadlocked for some time
over recapitalization plan. One
plan was actually presented to
the stockholders and later with,
drawn. Since then several others
have been worked out, but agree.
ment among all the groups have
not been obtained.
To smooth out the differences
between the various groups. Mr.
Prince was elected a director and
chairman of the finance com
mittee, and the Wall Street un
derstanding has been that he
would dictate the final plan
The above is reported to repre-
sent his views.
This plan differs in several
points from the others. No cash
is involved in this offer to
shareholders. The earlier plans
provided cash for the dividend
accumulations on the preferred
Another difference from the ear
lier plans is that the new pre-
ferred stock will pay per cent
against per cent. Otherwise
the exchange is the same.
No AmalgamatiOn
Another difference is that this
plan involves no amalgamation
of properties, as some of the
earlier plans did. Under the
Illinois law dissenting stock
holders to an analgamation
could turn to the courts and
collect in cash the "fair value"
of their holdings. Legal opinion

The market is duplicating its
action of a year ago, but this
time it is setting up records for
inactivity. Wall Street seems to
have lost all it's incentive for
doing things, blaming it on the
regulation bill.
There is considerable talk
about the inventory position OF
the tire companies.
The restriction plan is respon-
sible, This is an explanation for
the poor action of Goodyear.
According to current rumors, the
company has only enough cheap
crude for a few months opera
tions, a tough position with rub
ber prices where they are now
and the competitive position
keeping tires down. Though Wall
Street is sour on the motors,
considerable intelligent buying is
reported in General Motors on
all soft spots.
Some of these heavy industries
are understood to be comfortably
off on orders.
American Car and Foundry,
for example, is reported to have
enough business on hand to earn
more than the ST dividend the
preferred is entitled to. Oil
company earnings should parallel
those in the last half of 1888 if
present gasoline prices hold
through the late spring and
summer.
Railroad earnings should make
good reading this year.

is that dissenters can not do this
under a financial recapitali2ation
plan, such as the present one.
Under the present plan, the
company is reported to have de-
cided upon a drastic write down
of assets, which would call for
smaller depreciation charge offs
each year. In this way earnings
on the common stock would be
greater, and the payment of
