Mr.. Swift testified that he was in
structed by Cyrus H. Mccormick.
president of the International Harves-
ter company, and Charles Deering,
chairman of the executive committee,
to go to Kansas and attend to the
matter and Elk it up" The witness
said he arranged with w. H. Rossing-
ton, of the law firm of Rossin gton,
Smith & Histed, of Topeka, Kansas,
that later the firm presented a bill for
IS, 600, which was paid by the COM
pany. He said there was some delay
in the payment of the bill and that
Mr.. Rossington was OBLIGED to make
a trip to Chicago before he received
the money. Swift declared that At
torney Rossington who died several
years ago, told him that he had ex-
pended the money in preventing the
passage of the bill in the Kansas leg
islature.
Special Assistant to the United
States Attorney Edwin F. Grosvenor
introduced the subject by reading into
the record the minutes of a directors
meeting of the International Harves-
ter company, calling attention to the
bill pending in the Kansas legislature
and authorizing Cyrus H. Mccormick
and Charles Deering to take such ac-
ton as they deemed necessary in the

fair.

president was about to board his train
for Washington after a day of festiv-
tiles in connection with the launch
ing of the battleship New York. The
statement was as follows:
News of the death of Vice Presi-
dent James S. Sherman has just
reached me, and, although it was not
unexpected, it has filled my heart
with sadness. L feel a sense of per-
sonal bereavement in the loss of a
friend, who was a conscientious work
er in the many undertakings in which
we were engaged.
1T is an easy matter to pay tribute
to his worth. He was gentleman
of splendid poises of mental attain
ment which he balanced by so fine q
sense OF justice that all who knew
him respected him and admired him.
The Sobriquet which he has properly
earned and which was a tribute to a
disposition that radiated sunshine and
good will readily explains the warm
affection in which he was held by the
many thousands who had come into
personal contact with him.
LAS a testator and expounder of
parliamentary law and practice. he
had achieved a reputation of national
proportions before he was elevated to
the high and dignified office of vice
president of the United States. His
services as vice president will be fit
tingly acknowledged by the United
states senate, over which he presided
with marked earnestness. He was a
Republican of sturdy principles and
highly regarded. He will be sadly
missed in the many crises created by
new problems arising and demanding
wise consideration and practical So
luton"
The president said he expected to
attend the funeral.

Sherman belonged to the school of

political battles without compromise
