HARVESTER TRUST
Attorney General Reaches
Agreement with Officials
After a Long Debate.
DECREE TO BE DRASTIC

It was learned last night on good au-
thority that an agreement has been
reached beetween. representatives OF the
International Harvester Company and
the Attorney General for the dissolu-
ton Of that company without a suit
under the Sherman law.
Conferences have been going on be-
tween the Attorney General and Z. A
Bancroft. counsel for the Harvester
Trust, for several days here. and It is
understood that an agreement finally
has been reached and that the terms OF
the dissolution will be made public in q
few days. The negotiations between the
Harvester Trust people and the Attor-
ney General for a voluntary dissolution
were begun almost a year ago.
Government Threatens suit.
The government was about to hD a
suit under the Sherman law when over
Itures were made by the Harvester peo-
pie. The government officials and the

however, that the Attorney General has

ney General will submit the dissolution

which the Attorney General has exacted
are severe. II is known that the paper
which the government had prepared in
the proposed suit against the Harvester
trust asked for q radical dissolution de-
cree.
Decree II Sweeping.
It can be said that the bill which the
government had prepared was one of
the most sweeping that has ever been
drawn by the Department Of Justice.
The bill. It was learned. applied for the
dissolution Of the trust and an inJunc-
tion against the combination and its
selling agency restraining them from
engaging In interstate commerce. It
was even suggested that the court con-
slider the advisability of appointing q
receiver to take over the property to
wind up the business OF the Harvester
Company.
This bill, which was over the head of
the harvester trust in forcing a volun-
tary dissolution. charged that the trust
controls IS per cent OF the harvester ma
chine business Of the country. % per cent
OF the mower business, 50 per cent Of
the binder twina business. ana % per
cent OF the farm implements
The government charged the trust with
unfair practices, false representations
and unlawful and coercive methods II
was further charged in the bill that the
harvester trust has not only driven COM
petitors out Of business and monopolized
the agricultural implement business, but
had also reached out and obtained
monopolistic control over the agencies Of
distribution and the retail business.

Old Appropriations, Say the
Democrats.
WASHINGTON, June % The
threatened tie up of the government
departments on July because OF the
failure of congress to pass the big
appropriation bills is not likely to
occur according to White House off,
Gals and members Of the cabinet
who talked with the president today.
Many cabinet officers were of the
opinion that in most instances en-
ployes of the department who held
their positions under statute can be
kept at work after July whether
congress passes the appropriation bills
Or not.
Assurance has been given by prom
| inent democrats however that a Joint
resolution extending the provisions
of the present appropriation bill for
several weeks will be passed by con-
gress on Monday.

DECISION IN
LAND CONTROVERSY
Judge Bank Holds That Action o.
Supervisors Was Legal In Es-
tablishing Road.

FORT MADISON, June 80. Friday
Judge Bank decided case which has
excited great deal of interest in
Lee country and in the southern part
of Henry county. More than two
years ago John Mittendorf and others
petitioned the board OF supervisors to
establish highway through a sec
ton of land owned by l.. M. Hartley.
1t was claimed that the road was
necessary to give people living in the
northern part of Lee and the south
ern part of Henry county direct access
to the Catholic church at Houghton,
and to give their children access to
the school, Mr.. Hartley vigorously
resisted the establishment of the
highway and claim $4,000 damages.
The appraisers appointed appointed by
the auditor fixed his damages at
$1,000. At hearing during which a
large number OF witnesses were
heard the board OF supervisors estab-
lished the highway and reduced Mr..
Hartley's damages to the sum Of $500
Mr.. Hartley thereupon commenced
certiorari proceedings in the district
court claiming that the actions OF the
board OF supervisors we're irregular
and that they acted with jurisdiction.
This was tried some time ago before
Judge Bank. and Friday Judge Bank
rendered his decision confirming the
action confirming the board of
supervisors in establishing the
road holding that the board had
jurisdiction and acted according to
law. The members OF the board Of
supervisors who heard the case were

Inasmuch as its celebration Is al

works, and the paper balloon is a
most dangerous fire producer.
The common sky rocket will set
FIRE to any inflammable matter into
which It may fall.
More incendiary fires occur on the
Fourth than on any other day.
The Fourth is the fireman's busiest
day.
The remedy Is care.
Never allow fire crackers or other
kinds of fireworks to be exploded or
thrown in the back part OF the yard,
In back alleys. in or near barns or
close to buildings containing inflam-
mable matter.
Do not let young children handle
fireworks; impress the older children
with the danger of It.
Remember that all fireworks CON
tain dangerous explosives and should
be handled with the greatest care.
Remove all rubbish and all dry
grass and other inflammable sub,
stances from your premises before
the Fourth.
Be patriotic, but let your patriotism
be tempered with caution and common
