KEDER TELLS SECHETS
OF INOICTEO PACKERS
Wichael Cudahy Named as
Promoter of Colossal Cor
poration With Others
("By AawcUted Fleas.) -
CHICAGO. Dec. ft.— Further details of
the 1600,000.000 corporation planned by
the leading meat packers in 1908 were
recited by Albert H. Veeder, attorney
for Bwtft & Co., when he today con
tinued his drastic .story of the inside
history of the ---acago meat packers'
combination.
For the first time in the trial, which
is staged before United States District
Judge Carpenter. Michael Cudahy was
named as one of the four promoters
of the eollosal corporation by Veeder.
At the morning session Veeder intro
duced a contrac tdated July 11. 1902. by
the terms of which Cudahy became a
partner of J. Ogden Armour. Gustave
Swift and Edward Morris in the pro
posed merger. Each of them deposited
M.00e.000 in a Chicago bank as an evi
dence of good faith in carrying oit
the plan. It was testified.
The contract, along with half a dozen
other agreements, was read to the jury
and offered Ln evidence oy the govern
ment counsel.
Inability to obtain a loan of *90,000,000
from Kuhn. Loen & Co. was responsi
ble for the failure of the giant merger,
according to Veeder.
The witness told how the National
Packing cqmp-ny was formed In 1903
with a capital of H 50.000.000.
Veeder continued his recital on the wit
ness stand of the Inside history of the
packers' combination when court con
vened. The only name by which the old
packers' pool which held secret meetings
prior to ISOS was known as ’'Postoffice
Box Na 247,** according to counsel for
the government.
This mysterious gathering which the
, government asserts sought to fix the price
of meats and suppress competition at
weekly meeting in the Veeder officers,
bad no name which Mr. Veeder, in his
early examination could remember
MORE SECRETS EXPECTED.
Further secrets of the projected com
bination with *500.000,W0 capitalization,
which was balked through the failure of
eastern bankers to loan ©O.OOO/00 were
expected to develop through the testi
mony of Mr Veeder.
Mr Butler questioned Mr. Veeder at
length regarding the agreement entered
into to IS® between the Armour. Swifts
and Morris Interests to form a JSO.<X«,OUO
merger of packing companies •
The witness said that an elaborate ex
amination of the packers' books was
made by expert accountants and the
properties appraised by acommittee of
experts consisting of Thomas Conners,
Thomas E. Wilson and Horace C. Gard
ner.
"Wai the appraisal of these proper: its
ever made?”
T think the work was completed but
no final report ever was made.” was
the answer.
Mr Veeder said that under the mer
ger agreement each of the contracting
parties was required to turn over a: least
M per cent of the stock of the concerns
it was proposed to consolidate.
The witness produced the contracts
made by Armour. Swift and Morris tn
June, UOC for the purchase of six com
peting companies prior to the organiza
tion of the National Packing company.

The populace holds Mr. Shuster in
great esteem, and is greatly wrought
up over his dismissal.
Many written protests have been sent I
to the authorities.
Dispatches from Shiraz received here
give further details of the attack on
the Indian cavalry at Kazeroom. The
Indian troopers were escorting W. A.
Smart, British consul at Shiraz, from the
port of Bushire to his post. When they
reached the vicinity of Kazeroom, 55
miles west of Shiraz, they were fiercely
attacked on all sides by the Persians. A
desperate fight ensued, in which the
troopers used their lances and carbines.
The Persians were driven off and it is
believed they carried several dead and
wounded with them. The Indian cavalry
men also suffered a number of casual
ties. including two killed. During the
fighting Mr. Smart disappeared, and it
is not known what has become of him.
His wounded horse was found straying
on the roadside.
Officials are Notified
of Smart’s Disappearance
LONDON, Dec. 27.—Official news has
been received at the foreign office con
cerning the disappearance during the
fight between the Persians and the Indian
escort in the vicinity of Kazeroon of
W. A. Smart, the British consul at Shi

' whether Mr. Smart is supposed tq have
been killed or merely taken prisoner.
i Dispatches received here from Persia
i this morning are very meager. A mes

revolutionary leader. Amir Khlchmet, the
i local head of the radical party, fled on
Monday to Karadagh in the province of
Azerbaijan. The reactionaries have since
. made a demonstration tn the streets of
Tabriz, during which they cursed the

I Persia's reply to the Russian ultima

Suggestion to Leave Future
of China to Delegation from
Ail Provinces of Empire
(By Associated Press.)
PT KING, Dec. 28.—(8:17 p. m.)—The
throne has agreed to Premier Tuan Shi
Kai’e euggestlon to refer the question
of the' future government of China to
a national conference and to abide by
ita decision, whatever It may be.
The dowager empress, Premier Yuan
Shi Kai and the Manchu princes of the
imperial clan debated throughout the en
tire morning the scheme for calling to
gether a convention of delegates from all
parts of the empire to decide on the
form of government.
Prince Ching, former premier and min
ister of foreign affairs, urged the ac
ceptance of the proposal. Prince Tu
Lang, member of the grand council, and
Prlnoe Tsai Tao, former minister of war,
and brother of the present prince regent,
on the other hand, strenuously opposed
the scheme.
Those among the Manchu princes pres
ent who were In favor of the accept
ance of the proposition finally prevailed,
and the decision was reached to leave
the settlement Os the future form of gov
ernment In the hands of the delegates
selected by the nation.
The cabinet has been Instructed to
draw up the regulations, which shall gov
ern the national convention.
Tn view of the activities of the Shang
hai revolutionists imperial officials con
sidered It to be doubtful whether the
rebels will agree to the long delays In
separable from the calling of a na
tional convention.
The act of the throne leaves no room
for doubt that the advisers of the regent
and the emperor are prepared tor abdi

Russia Would Resume
Control of Mongolia
PEKING, Dec. 28.—M. Shoklne, Rus
sian charge d'Affaires, went to the
Chinese foreign oflce today and sub
mitted a request on behalf of the Rus
sian government that China promptly
re-assume control of Mongolia. He re
ceived the response that -China was at
the moment unable to comply.
The Russian government's action
was taken In consequence of the proc
lamation of independence by Mongolia
and reports that the dependency of
Turkestan would oe cut off from
China at the same moment.
Inability of China to assert her au
thority In Mongolia leaves the way
open to opinion here for the extension
of Russian influence and possibility of
ultimate annexation. It is suggested
that a Russo-Japanese alliance may re
sult from the action of' Mongolia, as
this brings Russia and Japan’s Inter
est in Mongolia and Manchuria side
by side.

DEFENDING TAFT POLICY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Secretary of
the Treasury McVeagh at today’s session
of the American Economic congress de
fended President Taft’s tariff policy and
discussed the work of the tariff board.
Prof. Henry C. Emery, chairman of the
tariff board, declared that at first he
opposed the idea that an equitable tariff
could be adjusted by discovery of the
cost of production, and doubted the
ability of a commission to get such In
formation. but he had been converted to
the wisdom of the theory and told of the
help which manufacturers and producers
had given the board.
Prof. H Parker Willis, of George
Washington university, in a paper on the
tariff as an economic question, scoffed
at the “cost of production,” basis fdr
tariff adjustment.

"Os course my brother could not put
General Reyes to death,” said Senor Ma

Freedom of the press has gone too far
