$4,000 900 to be paid on or before Jan. q.

LOWER KANSAS
COURT UPHELD
Fine of $4,000 imposed on
international Harvester
Company Stands.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 9.-Tf1e Kansas SUI
preme court, Il a decision handed down
today, affirmed the verdict and fine of
the district court for Shawnee county
against the International Harvester COM
paBy. The company must pay fine of
$12,s00 on forty-two counts, each count be-
ing a violation Of the criminal sections Of
the Kansas antitrust laws.
In the fall of 1906 G. G. Coleman. then at
torney general of Kansas. began the Grim
inal action against this company. He
against it. Each count was for the sale
of a moving machine or self-binder. The
sales We're actually made by the Topeka
implement dealers acting as agents of the
International Harvester company. When
the case was tried tiirty-three of these
counts were uuashed on account of tech
nicalities. Judge A. W. Dana Of the dis
trict court sustained each of the other
counts and when the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty against the company he
fined it 1890 on each count, making a total
Of 1880. The company might have been
fined $4,000 II the maximum penalty had
been assessed.
The chief evidence against the Interna-
tionsl at the trial was the words OF Pres
ident Cyrus Mccormick of the company,
to the effect that his company controlled
% per cent of the harvesting machine
plants Of the country and he hoped to get
all OF AHelu ne tptlialiy ; attorneys 90
jected strenuously to this evidence. and
based appeal on objections. but the SUI
preme court upheld Judge Dana.
Further evidence as to existence of a
trust was based on contracts Of the COM
pany's agents in Kansas.
The Shawnee courts decision in this ca Sc
attracted attention all over the country
at the time and the supreme courts stamp
of approval Of that decision is far-reach-
ing.
It is certain this case will be appealed to
the United States supreme court.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Pigs' blood. medical

of Philadelphia, that tuberculosis first

81 have found pigs blood to be of the
highest value in tuberculosis cases" de-
clared the physician. The reason fOr
that is that pigs blood contains moro
hemoglobin than COW blood. Swine are
fed better than cattle. and there is a
heavy strain on the COWS from being
MIXED. Cattle also are subject to tn
berculosis while I have never heard of a

On the sixteenth ballot, Senator Henry
Gardner of Utah county was chosen pres
ident of the senate at the Republican eau
Gus at the city and county building. The
race for the presidency of the senate was
almost unprecedented. It was three
cornered battle between Henry Gardner
and John Y. Smith of Utah county and
W. y. Williams of Salt Lake county.
In the fight, the prohibition question
was involved. Gardner was backed by
the anti-prohibition element. and his Sc

SENATE TO MOVE
WITH CAUTION
Nominations Sent in by Presi-
dent Will Not Be Con-
firmed in Haste.

Washington. Jan. 9.-That the United
States senate is awakening to its con-
stitutional responsibility in rigidly
scrutinizing the fitness of appointees to
public office, and that the body VIII
exercise that function in the fullest de-
gree In the future, was. in effect, the
declaration of Senator Depew of New
York tonight. The senator stated with
emphasis. however, that this would not
be undertaken in a spirit of antagon-
ism to the president.
1t has been the general rule in the
past for the president to consult with
the senators from the state Of the ap-
pOintee, and if they assented and the
name was sent in, to have the senate
confirm without further question" said
Mr.. Depew. IF they did not assent
and the senators or either of them
from the state OF the appointee object
ed, then the senate refused to confirm,
throwing the whole responsibility upon
the senators from the state. But the
practice of the senate within the last
two years, and especially within the
last year, is developing distinction
between officers whose duties are who'll
~ within the state and those whose
functions embrace matters of admins
tration which are of interest to other
Appointments Held Up.
For instance, district judge ap-
proved by both senator's of his own
state has been held in committee now
for nearly two years, and his confirma-
ton is prevented because in the exer-
else of his Office he sits in other states,
and the senators from those states are
opposed to him. The confirmation of
the public printer is delayed. though
the senators from his state are favor
able to him, the reason being that the
older senators have seen so much trou-
bic with the printing office and it's adj
ministration that they think It prudent
to let the incumbent, who was appoint
ed during the recess, have a full and
fair trial before he shall be confirmed.
There is delay in the confirmation
of the assistant treasurer of New
York. The senators from New
York are friendly to him, and he has
behind him the Union League club and
other influential Endorsement: but such
a large proportion of the public moneys
is in his care that in regard to that Of
fee the feeling is that before confTma-
ton there should be the fullest investi-
cation of his qualifications.
This is not because of any antagon-
ism between the senate and the presi-
dent, and it involves. of course, con-
cessions from old usage by the SEN
ators from the states from which ap-
pointments are made, but think every
/ senator believes it is the right way for
/ the senate to act, especially in view OF
the constantly increasing importance
of the duties of the leading admins
! trative officers"
