products plants they offered evlddnce of
Intent on tbe part of the,pool mem
bers to control tho entire packing In
dustry.
Attorney Pierce Butler, who hae ex
amined A. H. Veeder, the attorney trust
builder, said the fact that the packers
had sought to control the Kenwood,
company was one of their operations In
tho control of the price of fresh meats.
"The Kenwood company Is a link In
that chain of purpose, that aid toward
uniformity,” he said.
Judge Carpenter then directed that
the taking of testimony proceed. The
Jurors were recalled and after they had
died to their places In the box Attorney
Veeder resumed the witness stand. At
the close of hts testimony yesterday he
said hs had an Impression that the
Kenwood company had gone out of
business. Today he said he had looked
It up In the filed of "dead companies"
at his office, and falling to find It, dis
covered that It hod not gone out of
existence as he had supposed. The
name of the concern had been changed.
By the simple process of shedding an
old charter and putting on a new one
It hnd become the Swift Wool Compa
ny. Veeder testified,
Veeder Is Cross-Exsminsd.
Tho direct testimony of Veeder was
ended before the noon recess, and At
torney Borders, for the packers, began
the cross-examination. The prelimi
nary portions of his testimony repeat
ed the story already told the Jury.
Veeder detailed the meeting In the of
fices of Kuhn, Loeb A Co., when tho
packers were told they could not have
190,000,000 needed to carry out their
glgunttc merger plan.
"Mr. Schlff did not say ho feared a
panic or anything like that,” said Vee
der, "but he talked so that he made
me feel like I wanted to go out on tho
street and sell everything I had—but I
did not."
At this conference, Veeder said, be-
sides himself and the banker, Qustavus
Swift, Edward Swift, Thomas E. Wil
son and Edwin C. Swift, were present.
After the conference the packers re
tired to a hotel room to talk things
over. This was on Christmas day In
1903. The situation tvaa urgent.
"They owned a white elephant In tho
several properties tliay liud purchased
and could not combine,” Veeder testi
fied. "The thing that confronted them
was how to operate these properties
and liow to take up a note for 38,000,000
that would be due on Jnnuury 8 follow
ing. It was necessary for them to float
a loan of 318,000,000. This was Anally
done, the Individual piwkers signing
notes and putting up their own securi
ties to mako up the aggregate.”
The defense of the packers late
Thursday delivered n blow to the gov
ernment's construction of the case. A
motion wss made which may mean the
ruling out of the testimony of Attorney
Veeder, who related a story of the ori
gin of the packing combine.
Levy Meyer, attorney for tho defense,
at tho completion of Mr. Veeder’s testi
mony. arose with the suggestion that
the government should show the pro
priety of the evidence thus far adduced.
"I think,” he eald, "that It Is time
that the government show how this ev
idence Is related to t he support of ths
charges In the Indictment and the case
as stated by government counsel In the
opening statement.”
“The motton'ls In order,” ruled Judge
Carpenter.
Tne Jury was taken from the court
room and Pierce Butler, special attor
ney, began a statement to the court of
the Import of the Veeder testimony.

BARRETT TEttS FARMERS
TO DO OWN THINKING
They Are Admonished to Vote
Less by Ear and Eye and
More by the Brain.
Union City, Ga., Dec. 29.—The follow
ing statement has been sent to mem
bers of the Farmers union by Presi
dent Charles 8. Barrett:
To the Officers and Members of ths
Farmers Union:
The Impending presidential cam
paigns and elections find an unusual
amount of unrest and uncertainty and
dissatisfaction prevalent In the coun
try. There will be the customary ap
peals to prejudice and one's liking for
that man or dislike for another.
It Is an excellent opportunity for the
members of the Farmers union to view
all men and measures, all parties and
platforms, not by what they say but
by sheer test of sincerity and of past
performances.
Be Careful. '
Be careful of the man of the party
that has before promised you every
thing to get Into office and after he
achieved election has occupied himself
mainly with keeping his personal po
litical fences in order. Be careful of
the man who does.you little petty per
sonal courtesies, such as distributing a
few garden seed or government bul
letins, but who votes against the meas
ures In which you are vitally Interested.
Be careful of the man or tho party
that makes you promises you know are
Impossible of performance, that are po
litical gold bricks, pure and simple,
coined to get votes—straw Issues to be
forgotten os soon as the party or the
man rides Into office.
Do Your Own Thinking.
Vote less by the ear and the eye and
more by the brain! I)o your own
thinking. Refuse to have your convic
tions ready made for you. Size up po
litical situations exactly ns you would
a business deal: with the same juua-
ment anc> —Ith the same refusal to h*
Influenced .by "hot air" or the clever
stories of a man who would like to get
the best of you In a horse trade.
It Is high time the farmers of this
country ceased being'governed by sen
timent In politics and be guided by
sense Instead. The campaigns about to
open offer an excellent chance for a
beginning, for the reason that the sit
uation Is more confused than In many
years and there will bo opportunities
for men and parties to practice more
than the ordinary amount of campaign
slush and unredeemable promises.

the country merchants wore their
friends; that they were due the glad-
hand and brotherly entertainment, and
they subscribed 31.100 In a few mo

will be the nucleus for the aggressive
finance committee to Increase to the
proper amount, to cover the theater

Atlanta never measured up to her

The new president Is being closely

That plots exist against the life of Dr.
Sun la known to the revolutionary
leaders. Spies of the Pekin government
Were sent south Immediately on the ar

Sun, who came here from Shanghai
with the revolutionary leaders, formal

Ideals of his supportors.
It Is expected that the provisional

Sun was out of the country will be

312,000,000 In preferred, and 315,000,0001
In common stock.
In ruling upon the Issuo the. state's
commission on December 15 approved
the bond Issue and the common stock
Issue, but cut the preferred stock Is
sue 310,000,000, authorizing an Issue of
preferred stock amounting to but 32,-
000,000.
Want Original Capital,
In setting forth reasons for a re
opening of the case—at least a chance'
to argue the matter—the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company shows that
the commission’s action will reduce
their working cnpltal—such as Is to
be used for acquisition of the Atlanta-
Hydro Power Company, the Interstate
Power Company, the Rawlston prop
erty, the Cherokee Hhonls property and
Stone Mountain and Decatur railroad—
to 35,000,090.
Tho following reasoning is resorted
to to reach this conclusion:
Tho Georgia Power Company—tho
big party to the merger—has hut re
cently put 310,000.000 worth of stock
on tho market, which Is now In hands
of the stockholders. For this stock,
whoso Issuance has been approved by
the railroad commission, the merger
must oiler an equal amount of stock nt
nothing less than par. This will ab
sorb 310,000,000 of the 315,000,000 au
thorised by the commission’s order «f
December 15. The 32.000,000 preferred
stock will be absorbed In taking over
the Atlanta Water and Electric Power
Company, leaving only 35,000.000 with
which to finance the various and sun
dry deals detailed above.
In addition to the absorption of the
Atlanta-Hydro Electric Company. In
terstate Power Company, the Rawlston
and Cherokee properties and the pro
posed traction lino between Stone
Mountain and Decatur, the merger
plans, according to the petition, to build
330 miles of tower line* additional to
those already projected by the Georgia
Power Company.
In other words, the Georgia Railway
and Power Company petition, a* filed
with the commission Friday morning
by Its attorney, J. J. Spalding, Is sim
ply a request to reopen the argument
with n view to having the commission
approve the original Issue of 357,000,000
contemplated by the merger.
Attorney Spalding returned from
New York shortly before the petition
was filed. Since the commission’s rul
ing of December 15 he has been In coti-
suTtallon with C. Elmer Smith, presi
dent of the Georgia Power Company
and prime mover of the merger as the
head of the Smith Hydro-Electric in
terests of the Westlnghousc group.
Ths Ordsr For ths Cut.
The portion of the commission order
of December 15 relating to the cut In
the stock Issue objected to Is:
The eompany Is authorized to Issue
Its common capital stock In the total
amount of 315.000,000.
Is authorized to Issue Its preferred
apltal stock bearing six per cent per
annum cumulative dividends In the to
tal amount of 32.000.000.
The capital stock or proceeds there
from shall be used only In acquiring
and paying for the physical properties,
rights, easements and franchises de
scribed In the application as now be
longing to the Oeorgts Power Company,
the .Interstate Power Company, the

Is Native of Canton.
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the first president
of China, la a native of Canton. He
studied medicine there and was en
gaged In Its practice In Canton until
he became converted to the republican
party. He waa one of the leaders In the
plot of 1895 to seize Canton, which he
hoped could bo made the base of a re
publican government. It was Intended
to spread .the movement all over China
and drive the Manchus out.
The viceroy discovered the plot and
the ringleaders were executed. In some
mysterious fashion Dr. Sun escaped and
fled from the country. Going to Hong
kong, Dr. Sun became a British subject
by swearing allegiance to the British
flag. Later he went to tho United
States and traveled thru the country,
holding secret meetings in all the cities
that havs big Chinese colonies. He
made addresses to Yale and Harvard
students also.
Captured While Exile.
In 1900, while In London, Dr. Sun
was seized while passing the Chinese
legation by government agents, who
had followed him all over the world.
It looked for.a time it tho the adven
turous career of Dr. Sun waa about to
end, but the exile appealed to the Eng
lish government, basing his pica upon
the ground that he was an English sub
ject, and Great Britain refused to al
low the secret service agents to deliver
Sun to the Pekin government.
For the nast ten months Sun has
been traveling abroad, collecting money
for the revolutionary war chest. He
ivas successful in the United States and
then he went to England. He sailed
from England late In November, going
to France. He arrived In Shanghai a
week ago. Dr. Sun was accompanied
to China by Homer Lee, an American
soldier, who organized the revolution.
General Lee will be offered a post, prob-
ably that of military adviser, by the
new republican government.

Railroad Officials Believe There'
Was Plot to Destroy Missis
sippi River Structure.
Chicago, Dec. 29.—Fourteen sticks of
dynamite with fuse and caps found un
der the railroad bridge over the Missis
slppl river at Thebes, III., has led .to a
strict Investigation today at the order
of the railroad officials. The bridge
Is used by the Illinois Central and three
other lines. Owing to the fact that a
strike has been under way on the Illi
nois Central, and attempts havs been
made to wrack trains In the Chicago
yards, the railroad officials believed
that the dynamite was placed for the
purpose of destroying the bridge and
that sympathizers with the strikers
were responsible.
A reward of 31.000 has been offered
by the railroad for the arrest and con
vlction of the Chicago train wreckers.
James W. Kline, International presi
dent of the blacksmiths' union, who Is
directing the Illinois Central strike, has
offered to assist the police In every
way In Investigating the wrecking.
81,000 REWARD IS OFFERED
FOR WRECKERS OF TRAINS
Chieago, Dee. 29.—Vice President W.
L. Park of the Illinois Central railroad,
after police and private detectives had
failed to find a tangible clew, has of
fered a reward of 31,000 . for Informa
tion lealng to the arrest and conviction
of persons responsible for the derail
ment of the four passenger trains In
ths vicinity of Grand Crossing and
Parkslde. The mysterious derailment
of the trains occurred Tuesday night.
The hampering of service, the damage
to property and the peril to which hun
dreds of passengers were exposed Is be
lieved by the police to have been the
wnrv of Illinois Central railroad strik
ers.
UNION HEADS SUMMONED

In the Illinois Central strike and more

ganizations have been served with sum
monses to appear In the United Statea
circuit court here on Monday. January
I, to answer a bill of complaint filed In
the office of the cleric of that court by
the Illinois Central railroad on October
3 last. Labor officials have not yet
been notified of the nature of.the com
plaint, as It has been kept secret for
three months. It Is presumed that the
action brought by the Illinois Central
Is a suit against the union men under
the Sherman anti-trust law on the
claim that they are acting In restraint
of trade.
The sudden move by the Illinois Cen
tral Is one of the most startling over
made In a labor dtspute. It places aa
almost entirely new question before tho
labor organization—that of whether
they can be sued or prosecuted under
the Sherman anti-trust law. The con
sequences of the sutt will be far-reach
ing. It will practically determine
whether or not labor organizations can
exist under the law.

St. Petersburg, Dee. 29—Secret | n .
atructlona were Bent from the war offliv
today to the Russians In command of
the Cossacks In Persia to prevent am
further outrages on the Inhabitant" <it
that country. This action was taken
os a result of the note received from
the British government protesting
against the massacre of Persians by
Russian Cossacks.
Great Britain complained that she
was being put In a false light In the
eyes of. the civilized world because of
her apparent position of upheldtns
Russia’s treatment of Persians. There
Is no doubt that such a note has been
received even tho the foreign offices
deny transmitting any ultimatum. Rus
sia continues to strengthen her gri|i
upon the prostrate nation by the im
portation of more soldiers.
Martial law virtually prevails in all
of the northern Persian provinces. Per.
elans charged with treachery toward
Cossacks are being thrown Into prison
without provocation, and are being ex-
ecuted after Judgments of death by
the court-martials.
GREAT BRITAIN PREPARES

cities of Bushlre and Shiraz.
King George will arrive here tomor

hunting tigers since ho left Delhi. The
king will be acquainted with the details
of the Persian situation Immediately
on his arrival. It Is not believed that
the presence of King George will In
fluence the situation In any way. tor
It Is thought that he will Inform tie
local representatives of the home gov
ernment that he Is ready to abide by
any decisions of the war office, the for
eign office, or the colonial office.
