missed from the department on techni

ment funds from one account to another.

Agriculture to further their schemes and

lions of dollars' worth of land that waa
now under water. ' '

Indiana Standard
' Oil Company Ready
to Cut Big Melon
NEW TORK, Feb. a-Preparallons are
said to be making whereby the Htandard
Oil Company of Indiana will next month
slice a melon of tat.000.att n stock. Ths
company Is one of the former thirty-three
subsidiaries of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey. The annual meeting of
the Indiana company will be held on
March 7 at Whiting, Ind.. and stockhold
era will be asked. It is said, to vote an
Increase of f3.W0.0ut In tho company's
capital, which la at present tl.000.00u. 'l he
additional KJ.OOO.OOt will then be turned
over to the stockholders. It la generally
reported, as a atock dividend ot IBM per
cent.
Shortly after th dissolution of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
shares of the Indiana company sold as
low aa S1.4M 'and yesterday the shsres
were quoted at S4.0W bid-KM asked.
There la (rowing belief that the In
diana. melon cutting la only the beginning
of a number of capital Increases among
the Standard's subsidiaries whose capital
only nominally represents the1 value of
assets.
It waa the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana which In 187 waa fined r2,:).

Packers' Test Cost
.' Figures Are Said to
Be Fictitious
' CHICAGO. Feb. .-Every dcUtl of the
method used hi figuring ths test cost
of dressed beef -was explained by wlt-
easea at the packers' trial today.
Tb government charges that the teat
cost la the keystone- of the business sys
tem which made it possible for the pack
ers to maintain the alleged combination
ht restraint of trade described In the in
dictment. That th test cost wss a fle-
ttttoos figure obtained by making an
adequate allowance for by-products, prac
tically uniform among the big packers.
and enabled tbem to conceal large per
centage of the profits made on dressed
beef is one of the principal allegation-!
made by the government.
Noise made by workmen outside Judge
Carpenters court room made It necessary
today to move the trial to another pan
ot the building. By a coincidence the
trial waa shifted to the court room In
which the Standard Oil company was
fined .:J0 by United flstes District
Judge Landia on a charge of rebating.
Eugeao Blows, test cost clerk for the
G. H. Hammond Co. plant of the Na
tional Packing company, and John 7.
ChsppUn. head of the plant acconatlng
department of Swift at Company, do
sciibed methods of obtaining the test post
there. Another Indictment . la f said to
deal with a Chicago, man. after McMani
