 Jefferson City. Mo-. Dee. te.---Attor- aey General Hadley, oE Missouri, afl- nounead today that hA has notified the attorneys for the Internationai Harves- ter Company of America that the State will present no further testimony in the custer suit which the Attorney General Is prosecuting against the concern on the ground that it exists in violation of the antI-trns9 laws Of Missouri.
 The ease for the state will thus rest on the evidence of officials of the de- Eendant company only, no other wit nesses having been called by the pros- ecution. IL is considered likely 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 responsible as q principal for any pos sibia violation ef the Missouri stat utea.
 1e no testimony is offered by the de- eanHa. 1t is likely that the arguments before Special Commissioner Brace, who has heard the testimony, will be-
 Ths Commissioner will then report his conclusions to tae Supreme Court, where tpe final arguments will take place.
 It is expected that the attorneys for the respondent company will file an amended return to conform with the testimony of General Manager C. S. Funk ns to the number of competitors which fhe company must meet. He was unable to name on the witness stand as many competitors ia several lines of goods as the original returns showed.

 Thmt Way

New York. Dec. t9-Comparing inc recent declaration by Japan and the united states in regard to their re- specfive policies in the Pacific to A transaction between trusted friends.' r Baron Takahirs, Japanese Ambassador 70 the United States, in an address to- night at the Lotus Club. at a dinner gwen in his honor, expressed in an un- mistakable way, his wratification that so strong a bond of union between Inc two nations had been cemented.
 When lived in this city. many years ago." said tha Baron. T used to 9o to the Harlem River for fishing and l saw that the boatinan always rowed hard when the tide was against him: in the same way. now see that a dtpln- mai speaks much when his affairs are not in good shape. fully believe I am not mistaken when I say that relations between the United States and Japan are In the best possible condition. I think we may sag there Is nothing moro to be considered in the relations of our two countries and nothing to warrant much speech making.
 Hut if the past Is to serve as q les. son Tor the future, 1t would be well to consider what we have had to expert ence for these few years. Tn thess years. we have to admit. we had such psrfible tune Tn regard to our r0latk0nr as we could never have anticipated. No doubt there were some undesirable in- cidents occurring between some people of the two countries. but they were only local affairs. and in no way to be re- garded as menaclug to our traditioaal friendship.
 T took the opportunity at q dinner siven in my honor on my arrival hers some months ago. to declare that fhefe ts no art In our gaue of diplomacy. fn our internatianal transactions. I can most firmly repeat, the same assertion and add that there "a no such word ae diplomacy az pepwlariy defined.
 The declaration of the two govern nents recently made by the United States and Japan in regard to their rs- spectives policies In ChigA and the Pa. eific, Is like 8 transaction between trusted friends. IL requires no forEtaf- ity to legaIixe the instrument.
 Tt is my sincere desire that the pee. pie of each country will have, the same mind as their own governments in trusting that of the other"
