CABINET WOULD
HELP BUSINESS
Taft'S Advisers Favor Legisla-
tion That Will Let Bust
ness Go Ahead
WILSON IS SOON 10 RESIGN
Believed He Will Step Out as Soon
as Successor is Decided Upon
Cabinet Meets.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Presldent
Taft met his cabinet today for the
first time in three months. Secretary
Stimson, who is in Kansas city, was
the only member absent
1t is generally believed in official
circles that Secretary Wilson is only
delaying the announcement Of his res
ignation until the president may get
another man for his place.
The meeting today was largely given
up TO the consideration Of the presi-
dents message and official reports Of
cabinet officers.
The presidents recommendations to
Congress for supplementary antitrust
legislation probably will be along the
lines Of a federal incorporation act
1t is understoods that Tafts ad-
visers today pointed out that the work
Of the coming Congress Will center up
on two main issues. the tariff and the
trusts. The presidents advisers seem
to favor legislation which will permit
business TO go ahead and know where
" stands.
1t became known today that a deci-
sion in the National City bank case
probably will be made soon by the
president even though some steps are
being taken to dissolve the relations
between the bank and the National
City company. Certain powerful west
ern bankers are reported 10 be de-
manding that the legality OF such
corporation as the National City COM
pany be fully determined before they
will give full support to the Aldrich
plan Of currency reform.

International Is Fined $4,000
and Must Cease Business
in That State
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
Provision is Made, However, For Any
Subsidiary Company to Con-
tinue Business.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov 1.-THE
Supreme court of Missouri today is
sued writ of custer against the In
ternational Harvester company, capi-
tallzed at $4,000, 600, and assessed a
fine of $4,000 for violation Of the an
ti-trust law.
The company I'm September, 1910,
was found guilty of violating the Mis-
souri, antitrust avs, by Judge Theo-
dore Brace, commissioners, appointed
by the state Supreme court. The TAX
ing of testimony, which continued over
a year, was conducted by Governor
Hadley, then attorney general. The
case was submitted to the Supreme
court for affirmation last April.
The effect of the decision is to pre-
vent all companies comprising the In
ternational company from conducting
further business in this state, although
the decision provides that if any of
the companies pays its fine separates
itself from the International Harvester
Co., of New Jersey, files statement of
its business, and shows to the court it
will obey the laws in the future, it can
be permitted to continue business in
the state. Sixty days is allowed to
comply with the order.
The International company was or
ganized in 1902. 1t absorbed success
sively the Mccormick, Deerng, War
den, Under, Bushnell and Glessner
plants of Milwaukee, the Keystone,
Minnie, Altman & Miller, Buckeye Co.
and ID. NJ. Osborne Co.
The international Harvester Co,
Commissioner Brace declared in his re-
port, by reason OF its enormous cap
ital, could not obtain a license in Mis-
souri,, so the International Harvester
Co. of America, a selling agent, was
organized and obtained license. This
concern, Judge Brace said, was organ
lied simply TO evade the laws of the
state which barred the holding com
pany from entering. The commission !
er found that the International had !
practically a monopoly on the sale of
binders i'm Missouri.

WOODRUFF SEES
MUCH PROGRESS
Secretary Of National Municipal
League Speaks of Many
Hopeful Signs
GRATING LOSES POPULARITY
Commission Government Provides
Simplified Administration for
Municipalities.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-THE mos
notable tendency in American munici.
pal life is that toward hopefulness,
said Clinton Rogers Woodruff, o.
Philadelphia, secretary Of the Nation.
al Municipal league. in an address OF
American Municipal Progress" be-
fore the leagues annual convention
today:
Grating is becoming more and
more unpopular as people come I,
| know more about it. The revelations
while disgusting, are important and
encouraging, because they reveal con-
ditions which an enlightened public
sentiment promptly seeks to correct
and eliminate"
The increasing tendency toward an
expansion of municipal functions. a
simplihcation Of the machinery Of city
| government, and the greater use of
| the direct primary and methods of
controlling public service corporations.
Mr.. Woodruff regarded as the more
important progress Of the year.
COMMISSION Government.
"The movement for the establish
ment of commission governments In
American cities owes large part of
it's success to the fact that it is a
simple form Of government, easily un-
derstood, and providing short ballot
and a simpihed form of nomination
and election" he said.
Chicago and Philadelphia Were
pointed to as evidence of the wider
use of the municipal primary. Secre-
tary Woodruff referred to the report
ed use Of sums as large as 100000 by
candidates i'm Chicago.
THE remedy for this difficulty lies
in the direction Of restricting the
amount to be expended by the individ-
ual for election expenses" he said:
"some idea of the growth Of the
movement for an adequate supervision
Of franchises i'm the interests Of the
public may be gained from the fact
that today there are IA cities with
utility commissions"
Progress Of Socialism.
The progress of Socialism was re-
viewed by the speaker. his recorl
showing that mayors and village
heads have been elected in 2S towns
and cities in the last two years; and
a. other city officials have been seat
ed by the Socialists. The tendency of
the Socialists to raise class distinc-
tions has kept them from working
with other municipal reformers, ne
said:
ut is too soon to estimate the true
value of the Socialist movement IN
the city," said Mr.. Woodruff
"If the Socialists will place the en-
phasis upon the many excellent fea-
lures of their platform, and eliminate
the idea Of class distinctions, and win
offer To work with all other citizens
irrespective of party, who have for
their object the advancement of high
ideals i'm city life, they will contribute
and earnestness and aggressiveness
Of great value" Secretary Woodruff
said the work Of civil service reform
in municipal affairs had scored a vic
tory I'm the defeat of the so-calle0
"Gaynor Charter" in New York.

Unusual interest will attach to the
Blue Grass fair this year from the
standpoint of the farmer. For severa
seasons past there has been utilized
as a special feature in the prize lis
of the fair what has been known as an
individual farms exhibit. The objec
of this exhibit is to secure the bes
possible display of products grown OF
different individual farms Throughout
Central Kentucky. The result ha.
been a manifestation of constantly
greater interest and this year there i.
every reason to believe that a very
large number of farmers will take ad
vantage of the opportunity afforded
them by the fair TO show how many
different things and in what proper
ton OF prodigality can be grown on ;
Central Kentucky farm. Prizes aggre
eating 800 are given for these differ

floor of Floral hall. In connection
with it also there will appear a dis
play gotten up by the Kentucky Elk
pertinent station, which, while no
coming into competition in any sense
will prove Of large educational value
and real service to the farmers Of Ken

Seldom ia II that any community IS

such an ambitious and thrilling per

in attendance at the Kentucky State
Fair on Saturday. September Is. when
the spectacle is provided of two mon
ster steam engines. started under a
full head OF steam and permitted to

tators A sight such as this is sufii-
cient to cause the most stolid of per.
sons. he with the nerves of steel, to
inyoluntarily shudder and finch as
the collision occurs.
The hiss of escaping steam, the
bursting of the great boilers, the rend.
ing of the formidable iron parts, the
tearing and crashing and grinding OF
twisted masses of steel are even in
spring in the terrible force which &C
companies them.
The sight of the two mountains Of
machinery rushing headlong into each
others embrace is sufficient TO freeze
the blood in ones veins, and send
shivers Of fear rushing up and down
the spinal columns, despite the i1nowl.
edge that there is no personal danger
The sensations resulting are intense
but it is such as these that the hui
man family is seeking to-day, and no
more spectacular offering could be
provided to satisfy the ever present
desire for something out of the ordi
nary.
The engines arc placed on opposite
ends of a track built especially for
the purpose. The fires are started
the steam is produced, the throttles
are thrown open, and the two mon
sters are started to physical destruc-
ton by engineers who leap to safety
before the impact comes.
