Company Settles for
Breaking the Arkansas Law.

Harvester Company Settles for
Breaking the rAans Law.
The International Harvester Company
surrendered to the State of Arkansas
rather than stand trial on an indictment
Of violating the antitrust laws of that
State. The company, through a repre-
sentative in Chisago, agreed to plead
guilty and pay a dine of $4,000 on each
of two counts, making $4,000. The
costs, it is said, will amount to $4,000
more. A year ago the State of Arkansas
collected $4,000 in fines from an east
ern insurance company.
The exclusive contract clause" forbid
ding agents TO handle anything but the
agricultural implements manufactured by
the trust formed the basis of the harvest
or prosecution. The company admitted
that this clause was in their contracts.
1t also admitted that 1t existed in tho
contracts for som time after an extreme
~ stringent antitrust law was passed in
Arkansas in March, 1905. The harvester
company, while acknowledging that the
exclusive contract clause existed in agree
nlents with its agents in Arkansas for
some months in 1905, representatives Of

been stricken from contracts in all States.
Texas, Missouri and Michigan, like Ar
kansas, have strong antitrust laws.
There were two cases, one against the
international Harvester Company and
the other against the International Har-
vester Company of America. Each cor
poration, under a compromise, admitted
TO doing business in violation of the law
for fifty days. The fine is 5000 a day,
making a total fine of $4,000.
Attorney General Rogers left Chicago
for Little Rock with the $4,000 check,
highly elated over his victory. He said:
I'VE are getting to like twisting the tails
Of the trusts. We have now beaten the
life insurance and harvester people. I
think we will begin at once to go after
several others that are openly violating
the law"

STORY OF THE SUTcHERY AT

Riot Lasts Three Days.

The anti-Jewlsh Rating at Bialystok,
are in full control, and in view of the
cutlery raised ii is certain that the au-
thorities will not permit a renewal Of
the horrors witnessed at Bialystok. The
entire region is greatly excited owing
to fear that the Bialystok massacre was
only the signal for a general attack On
the Jews throughout the pale and in
Poland, but If any such conspiracy eX-
tsted it is too late to carry out the
plans, as the most imperative orders to
prevent further outbreaks have been
issued to the governors and governors
general from st. Petersburg.
When the Associated Press CORE
spondent arrived at BialystOk the worst
was already over, but on all sides there
was revolving evidence of savage bes-
TALLY on the part of the blood-drunkeu
mobs, which sacked and burned the
Jewish houses, shops and stores. For
s~eventy-two hours, with a slight abate-

The inhumanity displayed would have
done credit to the MOngol hordes of
Genghis Khan in his %cOnqueSts of China

fury.
At first police and troops urged on
the mob, but finally, when dismayed by
the bloody deeds accomplished, they re-
luctantly sought to obey the orders of
their superiOrs to put an end to the
work Of the rapaciOus bands of roughs,
who were so far beyond control of the
local forces that regiment after regi-

fore order could be restored.
During the riOting the Jews were
hunted down by ferocious pursuers,
who, in the majority Of cases, were not
content with killing more victims, but
tore them to pieces, like wild animals.
And while this was in progress the

PRESIDENT TO SEE CANAL.
Fall Trip to Panama VIII Repbsce
Proposed Western Tour.

Announcement of President RooSe-
velt's intention to visit the Isthmus Of
Panama next fall and personally iuves-
tigate the work of construction ON the
great waterway came as a surprise
from the White House, a Washington
correspondent says. incidentally 1t was
also given out that Mr.. Roosevelt would
not make the proposed trip to San
Francisco in the fall nor the tour of
the Middle West which he had con-
tcmplated for next spring. In May,
1907. however, he viii take a run into
Michigan, stopping at Lansing for the
agricultural college celebration.
1t is expected the President will
leave Washington for Panama the lat
ter part of next October or in the early
days of November. He will be absent
about three weeks. The trip probably
will be made on one of the big cruisers
Of the navy, but what vessel will carry
the President and his party is yet not
known.
None Of the details of the trip has
yet Dttu WOfheu Out DeyOHu the DdTe
decision to make the trip the President
has reached practically DO conclusions
1t is likely he will be accompanied on
the journey by Secretary Taft and
Chairman Shonts of the Panama Canal
Commission, but even this has not been
determined definitely.
The President has long desired per-
sOnally to inspect the route of the canal
and to make himself personally famil-
lar with the great undertaking Of con-
struCting the water way. The decision
that he will visit the American zone
OH the Isthmus of Panama was not
reached hastily, but has been under
consideration for q considerable time.
1t is the expectation that the President
will be able to spend ut least a week
on the canal zone and in that time he
will familiariZe himself with the situa-
ton by Il study of it at close range. A
personal visit to the canal zone will
enable him TO handle with an absolute
knowledge of the situation the great
problems which constantly will be aris-
ing in connection with the work of
canal construction and administration

The celebration held in Jackson, Mich,
two years ago COMMUNICATED the first
formally organized State convention
bearing the name Republican. Previous
~ the fusion of the free-soiI, a%blitionist,
~know-nothing and anti-slavery elements
generally had resulted in mass meetings
and sporadic organizations which had for
their object the creating of a new party
having opposition to slavery as it's chief
political tenet. One such meeting held in
kipon, Wis, tentatively adopted the name
Republican, but it was not until Che
meeting in Michigan some months later
mat a State organization bearing that
TITLE was formally effected.
From that onward the movement spread
until when the national convention was
called in Philadelphia in 1856 1t had
elected a plurality of the House OF Repre-
sentatives and eleven United States Sem
ators. All the Northern States. together
with Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland and
Delaware, We're represented in the con-
vention. Thus, while the inception of
itepublicanism as a force in politics
dates back to a time before the Philadel-
phia convention, the latter event in real
ity may be considered the official birthday
OF the national party.

oposonic Consumption Remedy.

A treatment for tuberculosis, based
upon the known function of white blood
corpuscles, namely, their power to assimi-
late and carry away disease bacilli, has
been recently investigated with consider
able success in a London hospital. 1t is
found that il certain organisms, termed
opsonins, are not present in sufficient
strength, the white corpuscles are unable
to do their duty, and the disease makes
Roadway rapidly. If an examination OF
the patient shows a shortage of epson
ms, a serum made Of dead bacteria of the
same variety as those causing the dis
ease, is injected. The patients own body
then stimulates the production of the do
sired organisms. This condition may be
preserved by daily tests until the disease
is expelled. The most notable successes
have been obtained in cases of lupus. the
baciiiis OF which is identified with that
Of tuberculosis, only that the former at
tacks the skin.

lieved them to be revoIutionists, but
really to make way for the murderers
and plunderers who followed the SOL
oilers.
While 1t is impossible to give the ex-
act figures, the visits Of the correspond

able him to approximate the killed at
100 Jews and twenty Christians and
the wounded at $50 Jews and seven
Christians.
The question of the origin of the
massacre was carefully investigated.
Although many of the Jews denied that
a bomb was thrown at the Corpus
Christi procession, the fact that a bomb
was thrown is established beyond a
doubt, but the question of who threw
the bomb remains unsettled.
At first the Jews fought with revol-
vers and bombs, and with their weap-
ons the majority of the Christian vic
tins were killed. But the Jews were
soon overwhelmed and fed for shelter
like rabbits to warrens, into cellars or
attics. The soldiers watched this chase
and butchery, sometimes laughing with
Indifference, but never failing to fire
into houses where Jews, sometimes to
the number Of 100, were making a stand
against their assailants.

MILLIONAIRE A MURDERER.
Harry Thaw Kills Stanford White
in New York.

Harry Thaw Kills stanford "hffe
in New York.
Stanford White, a wellknown New
York architect, member of exclusive
clubs and prominent in society, was
shot and instantly killed by Harry Ken
dali Thaw, member of the Pittsburg
family of ~millionaires and husband OF
Evelyn Nesbit, the actress, at the Madi-
son Square Roof Garden Monday night.
Mr.. White was an old friend of the
Nesbit family and was instrumental in
procuring a position on the stage for
Evelyn, when she came to New York
years ago and served for some time as
an artists model.
1t was near the close of 'Mamselle
Champagne" a musical comedy, with
which the garden was opened, that
Thaw approached the table at which
White was seated with another man
and fired three shots from an automatic
revolver into the breast of the archi-
test.
Thaw was arrested without making
any resistance after he had dramati-
cally assured the terrified audience by
gesture that he would shoot 40 nor
and had emptied his weapon of car
tridges. He was locked in the West
Both street police station, where he
made a statement that the death of
White was deserved for many reasons.
There is no doubt that jealousy,
amounting almost to an insane hatred.
was responsible for the deed. In his
statement Thaw mentioned several
times the name of his wife, coupling
this with characterizatiOns of White
that he was a blackguard and a scoun-
drel. Mrs. Thaw was on the roof at the
time of the tragedy. She had only time
to rush out as the special policeman
was leading her husband away a pris-
oner and throw her arms around his
neck, crying Historically, "Oh, Harry d!
Harry! Harry" when she collapsed
and was taken away by friends.
The throng In the theater was near
a panic. That there was no disaster
was due to the scene that was then on
the stage, to the coolness of Lionel
Lawrence, the stage manager, to several
men in the audience and to attaches.
The limelight Of the scene prevented
all from seeing the tragedy. The de
tonating reports Of the revolver so
much resembled a f~irecracker that few
received the first alarm. Then it was
that Mr.. Lawrence and the others,
springing up everywhere, called upon
all to remain in their seats, as there
WAS no danger, while others covered the
body of White with their coats and
clothes. The performance was at once
concluded, but the audience passed out
without giving evidence OF great excite
ment.
The tragedy, while a shock to the
friends of both men, was not altogether
a surprise to them. They knew, and
have known for several years, that
against the architect Thaw had the
most bitter feeling.
