Must Have Contracts in Court.

Topeka, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dy
the international Harvester Com
pany have been instituted in the
courts Of Reno and Shawnee counties
by Attorney-General Coleman, who
alleges that the concern is violating
the antitrust law. All the implement
dealers Of Topeka and Hutchinson
have been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore District Judges Dana and Gale
to tell what they know of the methods
of this alleged trust.
1t is charged against the company
that it has "secret arrangements and
agreements with dealers in various
lines, particularly in the business of
milling and trading in grain" This
also opens the way for Investigations
against the millers, and it is under
stood that number Of them will be
called upon as soon as the implement
dealers Investigations are completed.
The implement dealers are request
ed to bring into court all contracts
entered into between them and the In
ternational Harvester Company for
the years 1904, 1905 and 1906. If
Attorney General Coleman succeeds
in procuring enough evidence to es-
tablish the allegations that the compa-
ny is trust, he expects to compel it
to cease business in Kansas and en-
force collection of penalties for do
ing business since 1902.

Hartridge is Sore.

New York City-There are persis-
tent rumors in and around the criminal
courts building that the relations be-
tween Harry Thaw and his counsel,
Clifford w. Hartridge, are strained
to the utmost, and may soon reach
that point where reconciliation will
not be possible. For the last few
days Hartridge has not called at the
Tombs, but in his place his partner, A.
B. Peabody, has talked with Thaw.
Thaw has not been taking his out
door exercise with the other priso-
ners, and will not go down to the court
yard wher the others are called. 1t
is said in the Tomibs that he cannot
stand the strain of the confinement
without outdoor exercise much longer.
He looks worn and worried, and un-
less he gets out in the air it is be-
lieved there will be a physical break
down.
1t is pointed out that had Thaw re-
tanned a criminal lawyer he would at
least have been able to get out once a
week by his lawyers getting habeas
corpus writs and having him taken
to the various courts for hearings
This method has been used before in
similar cases in the past, and the pris-
oners were able In some cases to go to
court in their own carriages.

To Develop Browns Wells.

A stock company capitalized at
100000 is being organized with a
view of developing and improving the
present popular summer resort,
Browns Wells. The enterprise is be-
ing promoted by New Orleans, Jack
son, Brookhaven and local capitalists.
The plan is to build a turnpike road
from Hazlehurst to the wells, erect a
large hotel and improve the present
property, with accommodations for
winter as well as summer visitors.
The wells during the past season
have been unable to accommodate the
heavy rush of guests, and frequently
visitors had to wait here before they
could secure rooms at the wells or
nearby farm houses.

Memphis Bank Failure.

Memphis. The Realty Trust co.,
which did small banking business,
here, failed to open its doors. The
assets are placed at $4,000; liabili-
ties $4,000.
The books are safd to be in such
a condition of confusion that no de-
tailed statement can be given. The
company is capitalized at 100000.
The Realty Trust Company was or
ganized last year and began business
August Is. Its original officers we're !:
R. E. MdGill, president; R. M. Buck,
vice president; j. W. Winkler, secre-
tary, and w. A. Duncan, cashier. Vice
President Buck was also manager Of
the real estate department..
Under the original management the

when the controlling interest was pur-
chased and new officers and directors
were elected.
Under the reorganization w. J.
Smith, president of the Trades Union
Savings Bank and Trust Co., and a

1Oc Minimum Price.

Hot Spings, Ark.-The executive
committee of the Southern CottQn As
sociation recommend to their meDS
bers and the cotton growers of the
south that no cotton be sold during
the present season at less than 10
cents per pound. In a resolution.
adopted by the committee it is stated
that the crop is in a state of dete-
rioratioa and for that reason no es-
innate of the crop was made. The
resolution states, however, that the
crop will not be as large as the cur
rent estimate. The placing of the min
imum price at 10 cents was in the
nature of victory for the eonserva-
tive element of the association. In
the executive session Of the commit
tee which hasc ontinued throughout
the day the highest price named as q
minimum was II cents.

Who Wrote "'Humbuggiana. -

The authorities of Millsaps College
library are anxiously seeking to trace
the authorship of a satire in verse,
called "Humbuggiana," volume of
which is in the library Of the college
with the title page missing. The vol
ume is satire on certain men and
manners, presumably written about
the year 1912. 1t is said to be verse
of high order, evidently written by
man Of considerable education and
information, and has all the marks Of
poetic genius. So far as can be cleaned
from the contents of the book, its au-
thor lived in Clinton, Miss, or near
that town, and the college library off
cials are extremely anxious to get the
name of the author if possible. The
press has been asked to make notice
of the volume and ot ask if any citi-
zen has a similar volume or can throw
any light Oh its authorship. Any in
formation furnished to j. E. Walms-
ley of Millsaps College, Jackson, will
be gratefully received.

Under Consideration.

Realizing that to adopt an order di-
recting the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company to make ce~-
tain drastic and sweeping changes il
the service at Natchez would be too
sweeping, and one too, that the Com
pany would likely find it easy to re-
sist by process of law, the Railroad
Commission has done the Only thing
IN the matter that seemed reasonable,
and that was to take the matter under
consideration pending an investiga-
tion. The Commission has arranged to
go to Natchez and look over the
ground, and will decide the question
before them.

LEAKEsvILLE GREENE MISS FRIDAY SEPTEMBER
Peace Overtures Blocked.

Havana. All peace overtures are
blocked by the refusal Of Pino Guerra
insurgent leader in Pinar del Rio
Province to enter into any arrange
ment for an armistice. Guerra's an
swer to the governments announce
menf of its readiness to grant ten
days armistice is the blowing up Of
two bridges on the Western railway,
the cutting Of railway communication
beyond Pinar City and an attack ON
San Juan de Martinez.
1t is believed that San Juan de Mar
tinez is in the hands of the insur-
gents and that the garrison of 100
government recruits and small force
of mounted rural guards has been de-
feated or captured.
The fact that other leaders of the
nsumection are willing to agree to
an armistice can have little effect 50
long as Guerra is determined to pros
ecute the war, as there is slight
doubt In any quarter that Guerra can
control the situation in his region.
His force is reported as more than
5000 men, all well mounted, some
well and others indifferently armed.
The opposing government force under
command of Col. Avelos, comprises
about 1000 men. It was reinforced
this evening by Lieut.. Col. Clews with
100 men and three machine guns
from Havana. Col. Avelos', force with
the exception Of small detachmen,s
left at San Juan de Martinez and
Louis is at Pinar de Rio City but is
without means of transportation to 60
to the relief of San Juan de Mar
tinez.
