U. S. WILLING FOR TRUST
TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW
Harvester Trust Will Be Given
a Chance to Effect Legal
Organization
(py Assooiated Press.l


WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-That the
goHernment is ready to permit the Inter
national Harvester company voluntarily
to- readjust its Organization to conform
to recent interpretations of the Sherman
law became known here today.
Pending the result of conferences be-
tween Attorney General Wickersham
and attorneys for the company the
threatened dissolution is being delayed.
Negotiations looking to an understand
ing between the government and the COM
pany have reached the stage, It is said
where it will be necessary for Mr.. Ban
croft, counsel for the company, to, refer
the question of reorg anization to the COM
pany&si beard of directors.#F
Financial circles recently have heard
persistent reports that the government
was ready to bring an antitrust suit
against the company. Some papers neces-
sary for court proceedings were prepared.
The understanding here is that-the gov
eminent at no time has been inclined
to be precipitate so long as the COM
pany showed disposition to meet the
demands OF federal authorities.
The attitude of the board Of directors
of the Harvester company is expected to
be communicated to the department of
justice in about a month. 1t is said to
have been an inrpossibility TO present the
situation to the board of directors be-
FORE because many of the members have
been in Europe. The next regular meet
ing is scheduled to be held on October

demands. These agreements were put In

FINISHES WORK ON THE MAINE.
Board of Survey Left Havana for United
States Yesterday.

Havana, Dec. 2.-The board of survey
which has been engaged in the raising
OF the battleship Maine in Havana har
Dor, has finished its inspection Of the i'll.
fated vessel and departed northward
yesterday, accompanied by Naval In.
structor Ferguson. A model OF the
Maine, which can be dissected by simple
mechanical methods so as to show an
accurate representation of the present
condition of the wreck and the results
of whatever explosions, whether inside
or outside, sank the vessel, is being
brought to the United States by Con-
structor Ferguson.
The board OF survey has devoted its
entire time at Havana TO an exhaustive
survey of the shattered wreck, which in
volved excavations many feet below the
keel and the taking of hundreds Of pho
tographs, many of which show the aspect
of the bottom Of the ship as taken by
hashlight. While the board is preserving
the most extreme reticenee concerning
its findings, there is scant doubt that
the result of the investigation will prove
fully corroborative Of the finding Of the
Sampson board of inquiry that the de-
struetion of the Maine was due primari
ly 70 an exterior explosion, succeeded
by partial explosions Of the forward
magazines.
The examination by the Sampson
board, which was conducted by divers
cropping in the dark under the direction
Of Ensign Powelson, appears TO be fully
confirmed, except that while Ensign
Powelson reported that the force Of the
exterior explosion eentered at frame Is,
the present revelations indicate that the
center Of the exterior impact was about
so feet farther aft. There was no dis
covery by the board Of survey of frag.
ment of mine or of electric wires ex-
cept possibly the recovery Wednesday Of
a twisted metallic plate bearing line
of rivet holes, which apparently did not
belong to the structure of the ship II
is being preserved for future examina-
ton. The exploration of the portion OF
the wreck affected by the explosions
having been completed, there now only
remains the task Of floating the after
half Of the ship, which probably viii
take several months.
