APARTHERSRIP FOR KANSAS
HARVESTER COMPANY MAkEs
OFFER TO STATE.
An Agreement With Attorney General
and Supreme Court Involving
Important CONCESSIONS.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. Gin the de
cree to be entered by the Kansas SD
preme court against the international
Harvester company Kansas viii be a
partner In the Harvester company's
business In Kansas. The company
has agreed with the attorney general
and the supreme court that in add
ton to the fine of 100000 and the lin
tied custer to be issued against 1t the
company will submit to the public
control Of its business in Kansas and
the regulation Of its prices by the su-
preme court or public utilities COM
mission.
The company, In giving up its fight
against the antitrust laws of the
state, submits to even more than was
originally intended in the suit. The
company is prohibited from making
exclusive contracts with It's agents, 1t
is prohibited from discriminating
against certain agents or purchasers
Of machines, 1t must pay the fine of
100000, and, II the court or utilities
commission finds in the future that
the company is charging too much for
its machines or is arranging restric-
lions on the sale of different kinds of
machines, then the court or the com
mission may make such orders as are
necessary to bring about more eQuit-
able prices or conditions for handling
the company's business In Kansas.
This probably Is the most important
concession ever made by any corpor.
alton doing business in Kansas. II
the courts should decide that the In.
ternatlonal Harvester company was a
or a public service corpor-
alton the utilities commission, II
created, would then have authority to
regulate the prices and control its
business in Kansas. But this would
only be brought about after a long
law suit
Instead, however, the company, in
closing up the custer suit against it,
valves all Of its rights to go into the
courts to prevent the control of prices
)r the regulation of its business by
he state. The legal tangle which
would result in any future attempt
II the utilities commission taking con-
rol of the company is thus avoided.

main facts regarding the outbreak as brought out
in the report follows: Certain smallpox
vaccine virus contaminated with the infection Of
foot and mouth disease. which had been imported
was procured in May. 1903. by firm of Tnanufact-
uring chemists. Calves used by the latter firm in
pIopagating vaccine sent TO the stockyards
and thence on the same day to a farm. -Four days
later. in October 1905 three carloads of cattle
reached TN" stcCfyards and placed in the
pen previously occupied by the vaccine calves
Some sold for slaughter and the remainder
shipped points in New York and Pennsyl-
vania. where the disease first observed. The
investigation also indicates that the outbreak Of the
disease i'm New England in 1902-03 caused by
contaminated vaccine of Japanese origin.
As soon as the facts regarding tho recent
tainination OF vaccine became known all the
pected virus on hand was destroyed and that upon
