CUNNING PLAN OF HADLEY
Attorney General of Missouri Springs
Surprise on International
Harvester Company.

Jefferson City. Mo-. Dec. 19.-Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri announced
today that he had notified the attor-
neys for the International Harvester
company of America that the state will
hear no further testimony in the custer
suit which the attorney general is pros
ecuting against the concern on the
ground that il exists in violation of the
antitrust laws of Missouri
The case for the state will thus rest
upon the evidence of officials of the de-
fendant company solely. no other wit
nesses having been called by the prose-
cution- If the defendant interests
wishes to offer testimony il will be
placed in the position of attacking the
statements of it's own officials
1t is considered likely, therefore, that
the case will be decided by arguments
on the legal proposition as to whether
the defendant company, which is an
agent for the International Harvester
company of New Jersey, can be held re-
sponsible as a principal for any posi-
BILE violation of the Missouri statute

SHIPPERS AND IMPORTERS TO FIGHT
THE INCREASE OF FREIGHT RATES

a member of the executive committee,
who said:
I'VE deem it unjust that the traffic
managers should have arranged these
rates without consulting shippers and
at period most inopportune. We have
canvassed the railroad situation thor
oughly, and from the cost of fuel to the
statement of earnings, there is no ap-
parent valid reason for such an in
crease in rates at this time"
A formal statement OF the reason for
its action, issued by the executive COM
mittee today, says:
The business men of the state pro-
pose to invoke every force at their COM
mand TO resist these projected in
creases of freight rates. and, invoking
these forces, they have the unstinted
cooperation of the individual customer.
who, the railroad officers themselves
have admitted, must pay this $40. 600 600
tax They have the inclination, the or
ganization and the money TO fight this
case on any ground, under any aus
pices, in the courts or before the inter-
state commerce commission"

HILL WILL REACH THF GULF
Colorado & Southern Railway Has
Been Sold to Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy.

New York. Dec 19--Leading interests
in the Colorado e, Southern Railway
company. including Edwin Harley, who
is said to be the largest individual
stakeholder. and Frank Trumbull, the
president of the road, announced today
the sale of the road to the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad COM
pany. Information as to the price and
other details of the transaction, how
ever, are withheld until the meeting
next Tuesday, when the board of direc-
tors of the Colorado & Southern will
hold meeting for the purpose of COM
pleting the transfer of the property.
The acquisition of the road by the
Burlington gives the Hill system, the
Burlington being owned by the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railroad companies, its long-desired
outlet to the coast of Texas. 1t will
bear practically the same relationship
to the Hill lines in the Gulf of Mexico
territory that the Illinois Central bears
to the Hartman system. Until today's
announcement. however, IL was general
ly supposed that James J. Hills plan to
get to the gulf was by the purchase OF
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad.

COAL TARIFF FAVORED.
MondeII of Wyoming Before Ways
and Means Committee.
Especial to The Herald.

Especial to The Herald-)
Washington, Dec. 19.-Representative
Mondell appeared before the ways and
means committee today and favored the
retention of the present duty ON coal.
He stated that the Montana, Wyo-
ming and Utah Goals come into direct
competition with Canadian Goals, which
lie within 100 miles of the American
border, and which can come by short
rail transportation into the Montana.
Idaho and Washington markets. Can
adam Goals are now replacing the
American product in these markets in
the face OF the present tariff of 81 cents
per ton. He submitted comparative
statement showing higher wages being
paid American miners than Canadian,
and contended that if Canadian coal
should come N free the inevitable re-
suit would be reduction of wages of
American workmen- He stated that by
constant and laborious efforts we have
built up a market for western Ignite
coal, and it should be protected against
the higher-grade Goals mined by lower
paid labor in Canada

DEPENDS upon
THE DEMOCRATS
Insurgents Believe They Can
Amend House Rules and Cut
Cannon'S Claws.

Washington, Dec. 19.--The insurgents
against the present rules of the house
are leaving Washington for their homes
jubiiant over the progress that they
have made in stirring up an insurrec-
ton in the Republican ranks. They
will tell their constituents that before
the end of the session the rules will be
amended.
One of the insurgents expressed him.
self today as certain that at least one
change will be made in the rules. He
said that he believed that there would
be opposition to it at Republican eau
Gus. That amendment would provide
for day each week for the call of
committees of bills on the union calen-
dar and on the house calendar.
Claims of Insurgents.
Some of the most optimistic claim
this is all that is necessary to get re-
lief from the present rules. A call Of
the committees would enable the COM
mittee to get before the house all of the
important bills of the various kinds.
it is urged, and would relieve the speak
er of liability TO charges of preventing
legislation which was demanded by the
people. Inasrnuch as the house would
have an opportunity to pass on the bills
in the course of a short period surely
during a session of congress, the pack
ing of committee against bill would
have no other effect than the influence
of the opinion of its members upon
those who had not investigated the sub
ject thoroughly.
Depends Upon Democrats.
1t is acknowledged by some of the
leaders of the insurgents that the only
hope of amending the rules lies in the
action of the minority Ever since con-
gress convened emissaries from the in
surgents have been in conference with
the Democrats. The new minority Lead
er, Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, does not feel himself justified in
binding his party to any program until
he sees how the Republicans will line
up He object to forming an alliance
with the insurgents, which he fears
may eventually be broken when the
majority of them might recognize they
are losing, and leave the Democrats
holding the bag while the Republicans
would get all the glory The minority
is willing to stand for an amendment
of the rules. it is understood, in accord
ance with the platform of the Denver
convention, but it would like to get Just
as much credit as possible for the re-
forms.

HER TITLE CONFIRMED.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The validity of the
election which made Mrs Rose r. Ritz
man high chief ranger of the Women
Catholic Order of Foresters, was af-
firned by Judge McEwen in the su-
perior court here today. The court de-
clined to set aside the election upon
the application of Mrs. Elizabeth Rod
gers, who alleged that she was defeated
for reelection to the high chief ranger
ship by undue influence exerted by per-
sons not properly having a voice in the
convention at Detroit.

KNOX WILL HELP
SELECT THE MEN
Personnel of Taft's Cabinet as
Figured Out Pending APP
4proval of the Premier.

Cincinnati, Dec. ia Times-Star
special from Augusta, Ga, says:
When PhiIander C. Knox. the Taft
secretary of state, comes to Augusta to
discuss with the president-elect the
makeup of the remainder Of the new
administrations cabinet, Mr.. Taft viii
ask him to approve of Myron T. Her
rick, former governor of Ohio, as sec
rotary of the treasury. This fact can
be stated as coming from authentic
sources. Before Mr.. Taft offered the
treasury portfolio TO Representative
Theodore Z. Burton of Ohio he was Sc
riously considering Herrick for the
place. Now Herrick is the approved
man for the job.
Entire New Deal.
The selection of Knox as secretary of
state is of vast significance in that it
will probably mean that most of the
men now in the cabinet who have fig
ured as great Roosevelt supporters will
lose out in the final framing OF the
personnel OF the Taft cabinet The
president-elect is frank in his state
ment that he will depend on the coun-
sci of Knox more than on the advice of
that the chances of Pinchot being sec
rotary of agriculture and Garfield be-
ing secretary of the interior are reduced
to a minimum When Mr.. Knox arrives
here within the next week or SO MIR.
Taft will submit to him for his inspec-
ton and approval the cabinet list:
The Next Cabinet.
Secretary of State-Philander c.
Knox of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of the Treasury Myron T.
Herrick of Ohio.
