AFTER HARVESTER TRUST.
Kansas Attorney General to Determine
If State Laws Are Violated.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 5.-Investiga-
tons of the International Harvester
company have been instituted by c..
c. Coleman, attorney general of Kan
sas, To determine whether the concern
is operating in violation of the state
antitrust laws. Attorney General
Coleman stated that in the district
courts of Reno and Shawnee counties
all of the implement dealers in Topeka
and Hutchinson would be subpoenaed
to appear before District Judges Dana
and Gale and tell what they know
about the operations of the company.
The company has storage houses for
its implements at Topeka, Hutchinson,
Wichita and Salina, and it was decided
to begin. with the investigation at two
of these points. The examinations are
to be in secret. Applications for sub
poenaes prepared by the attorney gem
eral allege that Secret arrangements
and agreements exist between dealers
in various lines" The application
specifies that all contracts entered
into between any of the dealers and
the International Harvester company
for the years 1904, 1905 and 1906 be
brought into court.

Bank May Not Be Returned
From Morocco-His Money

Washington, d. c., Sept. 5.-Failure
to hear from the Sultan of Morocco
in regard to Paul Stensland's extradi-
ton and return to America leads
prominent attorneys here to think the
defaulter has bribed some of the Sui
tan's official family before the officers
arrived to arrest him. The state de-
partment officials after a careful pc
rusal of authorities on international
law are of the opinion that if the Sui
tan wishes to aid Stensland, the fugi-
tive will be perfectly safe. Stems
land is known to have twelve thous-
and dollars on deposit in Tangier,
and it is not certain but that he took
vast sum over that.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 5.-A dis
patch this afternoon from Minister
Gunmere at Morocco gives definite in
formation that the sultan will not
hinder the return of Paul Stensland.
1t is thought warship will be sent
for him, and that the matter is now
being considered. Gunmere has been
asked to send further information.

AWAITS ACTION BY SULTAN.
RETURN OF RUNAWAY BANKER
DEPENDS oNcouRTEsY.
American Minister to Morocco Has
Been instructed to Ask for Gus
tody of Paul O. Stensland.

Washington, Sept 5.--The state de-
partment was without advices Tues
day from Mr.. Gummere, American
minister to Morocco, who had been
cabled to ascertain whether the sui
tan would surrender Banker STEMS
land of Chicago upon proof of guilt,
and in the absence of any extradition
agreement.
The Moroccan government is not
under any obligation to place stems
land in the custody of this govern
ment except that demanded by court
esy, an obligation that has no lawful
existence, but which is no stranger
to diplomatic negotiations.
In the event Stensland should be
surrendered to an authorized repre-
sentative of the United States, 1t is
the opinion of high officials of the
state department that 1t would not be
safe to bring the banker to this coun.
try as a passenger on a merchant yes
sci. A merchantmen probably would
stop at ports of Spain, Portugal and
France, and in any one Of these coun-
tries Stensland might make demands
for protection on the ground that he
was. being taken to the United States
without warrant recognized by inter-
national law. Whether the claim was
recognized or not, an able lawyer
could prolong the proceedings beyond
the patience of the owners of mer-
chant vessel, and it is likely that all
parties to the complication would be
left at port where resistance was
made.
The safe way to transport Stems
land to the United States, should he
be surrendered by Morocco, is be-
lieved by officials of the state depart
ment to be by some American vessel
which would not touch at any foreign
port. This might be by transports
sailing for New York by way of the
Suez canal, or by armored cruisers of
the Asiatic feet which are now on
their way home from the Asiatic sta
ton.

Gen.. MenocaI Visits Palma and with,
Gen. cebreco Will Call on Party
Leaders in Effort to End
the Strife.

Havana, Sept. 5.--As days and
weeks pass with no appreciable dimin.
ution of the revolution, apprehension
increases. The most conservative
testimony from the country districts
of the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Ha.
vana and Santa Clara is to the effect
that two-thirds of the people in the
country and small towns Of these
provinces are insurgents in senti-
ment If not in fact 1t is generally be-
Heyed that the government ultimately
will subdue the insurrection, but in
the meantime the crops cannot be de-
veloped; and it is a grave question
whether the rebellious spirit even
then can be actually quelled to the
extent of restoring the country to q.
normal self-governing status. A re-
alization of this is the cause Of tina
renewal of efforts for the restoration
of peace
Menocal Confers With Palma.
Gen. Mario Menocal, whom the peo-
pie trust as one capable of bringing
the warning factions together If such
a thing is possible, came to Havana
Tuesday and held two conferences
with President Palma.
Gen. Menocal, after the conference,
absolutely refused to make any state,

Gen. Menocal, Gen. Cebreco, who

these efforts, but makes no promises

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 5.-The slogan
zone hundred million dollars for recla-
nation" was brought before the Irri-
CATION congress by Fred j. Keisel,
OF Ogden, chairman of the Utah dele
cation. Mr.. Keisel said the west must
go to congress with the same mind.
He would not, he said, insist on this
whole amount in one lump appropria-
ton. He was willing ito be dealt
with and haggled with a little" In
the 20 reclamation projects now on
hand, he said, the government had
tied up $43,000,0oo realized from all
sources, largely from the sale of pur-
chased land and $55.000.000 would be
required to complete these works.
He cited the great appropriation for
the Philippines, for rivers and har-
bors and similar purposes and in
sisted that the west was justified in
asking and demanding 100000, 900
to be used in new projects.
Prize Fight Hurts Congress-,
Mr.. Keisel declared that the people
Of the west were not persistent
enough, and said that they were not
giving to irrigation the attention
which the subject deserved. The
governor of Nevada, he said, had
promised to come and bring train
load Of his people, but instead, and
unfortunately, they were DETECTED by
prize fight at Goldfield
Leigh H. Freeman, Of North va
kama, Wash, was less modest than
Mr.. Keisel in his demand, which was
Three hundred millions for irriga-
ton" He asserted that England had
expended an amount greater than
this for irrigation in India and other
vast sums in Egypt.
California Irrigation.
Irrigation in California was pre-
scented by Clarence S. Edwards of San
Francisco. The statistics which he
presented OF Californias vast income
from the sale of products grown I'M
der irrigation made the yield of some
of the New England states look small.
New California, he said, last year
realized s15O,0OO,O 900 from irrigation,
and even then, in his opinion, the in
dustry is but in its infancy.

Mr.. Harris address was witty and
eloquent, and his plea in behalf OF
the endeavor to draw tourists from
the eastern states to the far west
was approved and applauded by his
audience.
Gov Mead, of Washington was the
last speaker. He expressed the
opinion that of all gatherings of this
character held annually in this coun-
try, none was engaged in greater
work than the National Irrigation con-
gress. He expressed the hope that
in some future year, if not next year,
the congress would come to the
state of Washington. During the
afternoon the melon growers of Hay
cite, Idaho, gave away, at Riverside
park, where the congress is meeting,
5000 cantaloupes.
