Trial of the Harvester Combi-

COMBINATION EFFECTED.
IN ORDER TO REFUTE STATE

Chicago, Ill, June 6.-The legal bat

has reached its final stage with the
taking of testimony in this city. is de-
veloping many interesting facts about
the company's agency methods. AT
torney-General Fred S. jackson of
Kansas charges that the various COM
panies that go to make up the Inter
national Harvester company have eff
fected a combination in restraint of
trade and have raised prices and com
PEELED agents to handle only their
goods. In its effort to refute these
contentious the big corporation has Of
fered at last to throw open its books to
the prosecution and the testimony that
has just been taken here before Spe-
cial Commissioner Henry E. Ganse,
will probably finally settle one way
or the other a matter which has been
the subject of important litigation in
half a dozen states. The majority of
the witnesses were agents of the COM
pany who testified that no attempt was
made to regulate retail prices and that
so called Exclusive contracts" were
dead letter and were not enforced.
Under cross examination the fact de-
veloped, however that prices were dis
cussed at 4 meeting of general agents
of the International which was held
! at Kansas City in 1909. The defeat
! of the company would have far reach
ing results. 1t would mean the remov-
al of 1000 local agents, the discharge
of 800 regular salaried repairmen and
varehousemen and the abandonment
of numerous repair shops at cross
roads. Machines would still be sold,
it is claimed, through agencies es-
tablished outside the state lines. but
the company contends that its remOv-
al will work great hardship on the far
mers who already have trouble in Sc
curing the 5000 or 1000 hands needed
for the harvest every year. No decis-
ion will be reached in Chicago but the
testimony will be referred to the Kan
sas supreme court, which has the case
under consideration.

OXFORD STUDENTS
NOW ALL AGOG
All Caused by Action of FacuI-
ty After Students Went
Buggy Riding.
CAMBRIDGE GIRL VICTIM
ASSERTED THAT MISS MARIE
BERTSCH WAS ONE OF THOSE
WHO FELL UNDER THE DIS
PLEASURE OF FACULTY..

Oxford, Ohio, June 6-The town is
agog with interesting stories of moon
light rides and secret meetings be-
tween the students of Oxford college
for Women and Miami university. Mu-
sic, flowers, baccalaureate advice and
diplomas appear to have been lost
sight of in the efforts of some of these
scholars to enjoy the parting hours of
collegiate association. Two young
ladies have been sent home from the
college and two young men of the uni
versity are not visible in their accus-
toned haunts.
The closing days at the college were
indeed strenuous. Thirty-three young
women are said to have broken the
rules on the last night, and the presi-
dent, DR.. SherZer, and Dean Cox were
kept busy administering lectures on de-
corum. The night before last seems
to have been the eventfuI night It
was then that all rules were suspend
numerous as to utterly astound the
members of the faculty.
Miss Irene Schirmeyer, of Decatur
Ind, is said to have gone buggy riding
with w. Marvin Whaley, an academic
student of Miami. At the same time
Miss Marie Bertsch, of Cambridge City,
Ind, is said to have been enjoying the
beauties of the pike to Kelley, in COM
pany with William Omar Smith, a
member of the senior class of Miami
Mr.. Smith is the son of a prominent
farmer in Kelley township.
When the young folk returned the
doors entering the college were locked
1t was 3 a. m. Just how the young la
dies occupied their time between that
hour and breakfast time is not known
but when they gained entrance to their
college house it was too late to make
excuses. Miss Schirmeyer was sent
to her home on the next train. Miss
Nellie Harm of Liberty, Ind, one of
the solicitors of the college, accompa-
MED her.
Miss Bertsch was not deported until
of the "Rapturous Maidens" in the
opera Of Patience" which was to be
given that night by the young ladies
of the college in the new auditorium of
Miami university. But the next
morning she was sent home
Mr.. Whaley also left that day for Os-
born, in company with his father Mr.
Smith is now at the home of his par
ents in Kelley township. Whether he
will receive his diploma next week is
predetermined. A special meeting OF
the university senate has been called
for Monday, at which time the dispo
sition of several important cases will
receive official attention.
1t is said that the capture of Misses
Schirmeyer and Bertsch was the result
of practical joke. Some of the 9th
er girls knew of the absence of these
young ladies, and when they came
home they slipped a catch in the door

dered him committed to the Tombs.
Hitchcock was much disappointed at

being sent to prison and said he was
pre- pared to furnish bail. Justice Golf,
however, refused to accept bail and
stated that Hitchcock must remain in
custody during his trial. Unless a
writ for his release is secured from
some other justice, which is not con-
sidered probable he will have to re-
main in the Tombs until his trial is
resumed on Monday next. Mr.. Steu-
ers request for an adjournment had
first been made earlier in the day.
The attorney stated that he had just
been called into the case to succeed
John B. Stanchfield and had not had
an opportunity to go over the testi-
mony of a previous trial-the Flora
Wiston case-which had resulted in
Hitchcock acquittal.

The muscles of the stomach In old age are not
as strong or active in youth and in conse-
quence old people are very subject to constipa-
bowel movement without artificial aid. Many.
also, have unpleas ant quotations of gas from
the stomach after eating. All this can be avoid
ed by the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which perm anently regulates the bowels so that
passages come naturally. and so strengthens
the stomach that food is digested without dis
comfort. Druggists sell it at so cents or 81 q
