CRUISER RALEIGH
MAY ALSO COME.

From the reports current in local
naval circles the cruiser fleet will prob
ably arrive at Honolulu about the date
stated some time ago in the Adver-
tiser, the 10th or 18th of the month.
From the information at hand as to
the sailing date from Chinese waters
and Yokohama it will be the afternoon
of the 11th when the vessels are sight
ed off Barber's Point.
1t was reported yesterday that be-
sides the cruisers Colorado, Maryland,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania it is
probable that the cruiser Raleigh will
arrive here from Chefoo in company
with or very closely after them.

LONDONssWOULD LIKE
To REMAIN HERE

If it were not that l have already
bought my ranch in California and had
the work of developing it well under
way I would buy place in Hawaii
and settle down here and make this
my home,' said Jack London yester-
day, in discussing his plans for the
future. "I have fallen in love with
the climate and people here and next
to the home have in California, which
is home, there is no place on earth I
would rather live than in these is
lands.
81 do not think that I would care
for Honolulu altogether as home, but
my choice would be some place at an
elevation of about two thousand feet.
At that height here there Is no climate
in the world to equal it.

ing of the 10th The team will sail on
the 14th, Uncle Sam paying all ex-

lowing special order, number 8, sent
out by Adjutant General Jones, by
order of the Governor, as follows:
1.-The following officers and enlisted

to accompany the rifle team to Ohio,
being unable to secure a leave of abb

REAPER TRUST PLAN.

The International Harvester Company, the
so-called Reaper Trust the stock of which is
held by voting trust composed of Cyrus H.
Mccormick president of the company; ex-Judge
f. H Gary. chairman of the board of the United
States Steel Corporation, and George w. Per-
kins, chairman of the finance committee OF the
Steel Corporation. has entered into impor
tant arrangement with the united States Steel
Corporation 1t was learned yesterday. which is
expected to be of decided mutual benefit. The
arrangement is not hard and fast agreement.
but rather in the nature of community Of
interest plan
The Harvester Company has up to this time
manufactured most of the iron and steel used In
the fabrication of its machines. getting its ore
from its own extensive iron deposits on the
Mesaba and Vermilion ranges Its business has
increased greatly that it has been obliged to
purchase iron and steel from various outside
manufacturers. and has been considering the
enlargng of its own plants for the production
of these commodities. In pursuance of the
understanding reached with the Steel Corpora
ton. however. the Harvester Company has now
decided not to increase the capacity of these
plants. but instead TO purchase its iron and
steel entirely from the Steel Corporation. If the
latter shall be able TO supply the full amount
called for The iron ore beds will remain the
property of the Harvester Company, but while
the agreement continues will be worked by
the Oliver Iron Ore Mining Company. which is
controlled by the United States Steel Corpora
tion.
The companies making up the International
Harvester Company have for many years been
extensive exporters. having markets for their
output all over the world. and the understanding
with the Steel Corporation IS believed to include
alliance OF friendship between the two big
companies in various foreign countries.
The International Harvester Company yester-
day filed at Trenton certificate of amendment
of its charter. authorized at recent meetings of
the directors and the voting trustees At the
organization of the company the plants were ap-
praised at $60.OO0,OOO. and $6O.OO0.OO0 was paid
in In cash. the initial capitalization being S120
O0DO00.
This stock has been held in the voting trust.
The original idea OF issuing additional stock or
creating a bond issue has been given up. the
company having an ample working capital and
It has now been decided to limit the captaliza-
ton to $120OO00O0 and to divide that capital
into two classes, consisting of S6OO0O000 OF
