TRUST ID PAY FINE
b12,6oo WILL BE PAID INTO THE KANSAS STATE TREAS
 URY.
VIOLATED THE KANSAS ANTITRUST LAW
The international Harvester Company Decides to be Good--lt Was Sup posed the Big Combination Would Carry the Case to the United States Supreme Court-No Explanation.

Topeka, Feb. 2.--The International Harvester company is going to pay the fine of $12,600 assessed against it by he district court of Shawnee county md approved by the Kansas supreme ,ourt for violating the Kansas anti trust law.
 It was generally expected that the company would appeal the case to the supreme court of the United tSates. n fact that was the announced inten. Non of the company's attorneys. But tor some reason or other the attorneys nave changed their minds. No pro ceedings looking toward a rehearing of the case have been filed, hence nothing can be done to take the case to the United States supreme court.
 If the company had filed petition in the Kansas supreme court to have a rehearing the case could have been taken to the highest court in the land on a writ of error when the petition was denied. Nothing of this kind has been done and the mandate of the supreme court has been sent to the district court here. Within a few days the attorney general will ask the district court to collect the fine.

 Finished.

Muskogee. Ok, Feb. S.-At the con clusion of the first day of the second week of the alleged town lot fraud investigation it is evident the repre- sentatives of the government are cer. tain that many indictments will be re turned by the grand jury.
 The testimony of the Tennessee wit lesses has proven revelation. NOne of the p witnesses from that state said in statement to the Associated press Monday night:
 When l Was subpoenaed by the gov ernment to come to Muskogee 1 did not know these was such town on the map. had never heard of it and wondered what Uncle Samuel wanted me for. Since my arrival have learned that was once the owner of four-acre lot here. also learned that in some mysterious manner the lot and I had parted company and someone had signed my name to the quit-claim deed That is all 1 know about 1t and suppose that Is what I'll have to tell to the jury"
 o. E. Pagan, the attorney generals expert. and District Attorney W. J. Gregg are now engaged in preparing indictments and Special Attorney s. R. Rush and others will assist the grand jury in the examination of witnesses. It is expected the investigation will be concluded within two or three days.

County Depository Law for Polk Having Passed House, Being
 Fought in Senate
Representative Hamilton and Senator
 Logan Desire to Learn Senti- ment of Constituents
WHAT REVENUE SHOULD BE
Judge Prickett Estimated That In- terest on County Funds Would Bring Sl5o0 to $20O0 Year

The Hon. John H. Hamilton, representative of Polk county ip the lower house of the state legislature, has written to a number of his constituents in Mena regarding the status of the bill which be has had passed in the house, giyiug Polk county a county depository lava law that has for it's purpose the se- curing to Polk county of son revenue from it's idle funds.
 Senator John P. Log an, who passed similar pill for Benton county, and whose can didacy before the people of Polk county was made largely upon this issue, writes The Star in . similar strain. naming M ns parties who are there lobbying against the passage of this bill m the Senate.
 That strong pressure IS ben brought to kill the bill in tn Senate is clear.
 That was what happened al the last session of the legislature.
 At that time John H. Hamilton passed county depository bill trough the house.
 On arrival in the senate a fighl was started on if.
 George Legate, the Republican preseutative n the senate from this county, stated that the people of his county cared nothing about the matter; tha was merely fight between Mena banks.
 Hamilton wrote Mena people about the matter. Little or nc attention was paid to his requests to know what the people wanted.
 As a result, the senate deter mined that Legate was right, That the people of Polk county did not care anything about the law.
 Before the last election, Judge Wright Pricket told the editor of The Star that he estimated tha, the county would be receiving from $l, 500 to S2,000 a year revenue from interest on the luds If such law was in effect.
 Now ibe question is:
 Does Polk county need the money?
 And again:
 What do the people who pay the taxes want?
 Their representatives apparent iy are in some doubt despite the 'act that both were elected on ais particular issue.
