Statement Of Cyrus Il. Mccormick
President Of international Harvester Company 4

the Organization of this Company.
No form of reorganization, however,
was suggested by the Government
which seemed practically possible.
The Government has been careful
to avoid embarrassment to the for
eign business from the litigation;
the bill makes no attack upon, and
seeks no change in, the export bus
mess of the Company. The filing
of the bill will in no way interfere
with the Company's carrying on its
business the same as heretofore.

Marshal Willis received a mes
sage Sunday night to be on the
look out for a negro who was charg-
ed with shooting another negro at
Clarence. During the night when
an east bound freight train pulled
in the station the negro was discov-
cred on top of a box car The Mar
shall took him in charge and after
taking a large pistol from him
locked him up to await further in.
structions from the Clarence
officials. Monday evening by re-
quest, he took the prisoner to
Clarence and turned him over to
the proper authority. The negro
was readily identified as the party
who did the shooting. The negro
whom he shot received two wounds
one in the face and one in the arm,
neither of which is necessarily fatal.

the sC-called trust" cases hereto
fore decided under the Sherman
Law The International Harvester
Company was organized in 1902 for
the purpose of securing economy in
the manufacture and sale of har-
vesting machinery, and of increas-
ing the foreign trade. 1t had no
water in its capitalization, and it
has earned only a reasonable return
on its capital, less than seven per
cent per annum on the average The
prices of its machines are now sub
Stantially the same as in 1902, not
withStanding an increase Of Is per
cent in raw material prices and 80
per cent in wages. The Company
has caused large saving to Amer
lean farmers. in the cost of agricul-
tural implements. 1t has increased
the foreign trade in agricultural i'm
plementS fourfold in nine years; its
foreign sales in 1911 we're over
$42,O0O,000. 1t has not sold cheap
er abroad than at home. Its treat
ment of its customers. its employees,
its agents and its competitors has
been in accord with the highest
standards of ethics and honorable
business methods. To the farmer
it has given better service and bet
ter machines; to agents and dealers,
a less hazardous and fiuctuating
business; and to its employees it has
given higher wages. improved and
sanitary working conditions, insur-
ance against sickness, accident and
old age. and a share in the profits.
The charges of misconduct found
in the bill have been met and dis
proved by the Company in other
cases; and they will again fail, be-
cause they are untrue. The Su-
preme Court of Missouri, in suit
in which these charges were fully
gone into, said:
"On the whole. the evidence
shows that the International
Harvester Company has not
used its power to Cypress or in
Jure the farmers who are it's
customers" ..
And again ,.. .,
The price of harvesting ma
chimes has not increased in pro-
portion to the increased cost of
construction or the increased
merit of the machines, and Re-
spondent has brought other
farm implements into trade"
The evidence. also shows that
the machines manufactured by
the International. Harvester
Company have been greatly i'm
proved in quality and the item
of repair material has been re-
duced in price and placed with
| in closer reach of the farmer"
The organizers of this Company
acted under the advice of able coun-
sci, and in the sincere belief that
they were violating no law. If I'M
der later decisions it should be held
that the law was violated, it could
only be through the creation of a
power to Cypress which has never
been exercised.
More than six years ago the Com
pany asked for its investigation by
the United States Government, and
opened all its books and records
for inspection, and furnished all in
formation requested. No suggestion
of any change in its business meth
DDS has been made to it by the
Government at any time, Recently,
a full and frank discussion of the
whole situation has been had be-
tween the representatives of the

SO Shelbina. Mo,
A serious shooting occurred near
Clarence Monday. We failed to
learn the names of the parties but
it seems that young man who had
been divorced from his wife went to
the home of the wife's father where
she was making her home. The
wife refused to see him and he was
ordered away by the father. A
difficulty followed in which the
young man received serious wound
in the face, the ball entering just
left of the nose and coming out at
the side of the neck.

not a sham.
American girls do not entice men into
marriage rather than risk single life.
Girls realize that when they grow older,

the Ancients." they are the targets for
jokers and cartoonists. The thought Of
becoming an old maid so prays upon the
minds of most girls that they become
desperate, and will, through their own
peculiar and cunning manner, draw a
proposal from a man and accept 1t with

happy ones, and rebound to the credit
OF both, and while the man has been
"enticed' into marriage, the word should
be used in its broadest sense, and not
in its narrowest scope. Mothers in their
eagerness to see their girls married will
overlook a great many faults in men,
and will neglect the proper consideration
of their future happiness. This Is Pc
culiar condition of affairs. but in view

QUITS MEXICAN CABINET.
Flores MheOn Unable TO HarmonIzc
with Other Member.

Ambassador Wilson, at Mexico CITY,
yesterday reported important cabinet
changes to the State Department. Flores
Magon, minister of gobernacion, has re-
signed, as the result of lack of harmony
between himself and other members of
the Madero administration, including
President Madero himself.
Magon has been the subject of attack
in Mexico for several weeks. RafadI
Hernandez, now minister of fomento,
has been given Wagons post in the cab
met Minister Hernandez is related to
President MaderO by marriage. Manuel
Bonilla, now minister of communications
will succeed to the Office of minister Of
fomento, and will, in turn. be succeeded
by Jaime Gurza as minister Of COM
munication.
Flores Magon, it is understood, is a
close personal friend of Manuel Calero
Mexican Ambassador to the United
States. The fact of Wagons dismissal
is understood to have considerable con-
nection with the resignation of Ambas-
sadOr CalerO, which is to be effective
about, the end of the present year.
