against the Cook County Board OF Review
to compel 1t TO assess the franchises ana
capital stock of the International Harvester
Company for back taxes.

amount, including the expense OF prosecu-

WITNESS ACCUSES DARR0W
Lorimer Committee Hears
Charge of Attempted Bribery.

Washington. Dec 9-MaXwell Edgar, a
Chicago lawyer, who in 1907 led legal
fight to force the International Harvester
Company to pay more taxes, testified to-
dav before the Lorimer Senatorial investi-
eating committee that he had been offered
$4,000 to desist. lie said the offer was
made by a Chicago lawyer named Tone,
who claimed to represent Clarence 5. Dar-
row and Edgar A. Bancroft, the latter an
attorney for the company.
Edgar declared he believed Bancroft hau
used Darrow as a go-between. The hght
eliminated, he said, in an increase OF the
taxes on the Mccormick family's lnterna-
tional Harvester stock from practically
nothing to about $4,000 year and COM
pulsory payment of about $4,000 back
taxes
Edgar testified further that pressure 10
quit the fight had been brought 10 pear
upon him by officials of the Hearst news
papers in Chicago. Edgar's testimony ola
not 90 far, as it was interrupted by argu-
ment between Judge Hsnecy and Senators
Of the committee as to its bearing on the
investigation. The committee adjourned
until Monday to decide whether the tesu-
mony should be admitted.
