ACTION IS PROMISED
Proceedings Against Harvester
Company Proposed.
PLEDGED BY WICKERSHAM
Assurance Given to House Commit
tee on Rules:
ANTITRUST
PLANS
OTHER
Steps Against So-Called Shipping
Combine in View-Hearing on
Money Trust Next Week.

Attorney General Wickersham today as
sured the House committee on rules
that the government would take action
against the International Harvester
Company, congressional investigation OF
which. along with the so-called money
trust and shipping combine, is under con-
sideration by the committee.
The assurance was given during a con-
ference between Mr.. Wickersham, Secre-
tary Nagel of Commerce and Labor and
members of the rules committee, followed
by an announcement that the committee
would likely delay any recommendation as
to the proposed inquiry pending Depart
ment Of Justice action.
The harvester case has been before
the department since 1906.
Members of the committee said that
the Attorney General declared that the
government intends to carry out the ad-
ministration's policy to dissolve Illegal
combinations. If such exist, and that
it was not disclosed whether the gov
ernment will permit a friendly suit with
a view to a dissolution Of the c0mbina-
ton, or will proceed with a direct suit
charging violations Of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Representative Foster of Illinois. author
of the harvester company inquiry res0lu-
ton, said the committee would take no
hasty step, would watch the Department
of Justice proceedings with interest and
would insist upon definite action, which
might make congressional inquiry un-
necessary.
Both cabinet officials were reported to
be agreed that some decisive step should
be taken as to the so-calie0 shipping
combine Committee action on this sub
ject may hinge upon the pending federaf
suit against the HambVrg-American
steamship line.
Hearings on the money trust resolu-
ton of inquiry will be held next week.

PLEA FOR MORE MONEY
TO PURCHASE PROPERTY
Commissioners Do Not Think
$10,000,0 600 Sufficient for
South of Avenue Land.

The District Commissioners do not be-
lieve that 100000. named in the Sen
ate bill for the purchase Of twenty two
squares OF ground. located south Of
Pennsylvania avenue, between 14th street
and the Capitol. as sites for federal build
ings. is sufficient for the purpose. They
so reported this afternoon to the Senate
committee on public buildings and
consideration.
The Commissioners did not indicate
what amount they think will be necessary
for the acquisition of the property. but
they refer to the fact that the last as
sessment. as made by the assessor of the
District, gives the true value Of the land
and Improvements at $13, 114.0OO.
The report Of the Commissioners, who
say that they are in favor of the pur-
poses of the bill, was based on recon-
mendations submitted by M. c. Hazen,
surveyor Of the District, and concurFed
in by Capt. Mark Brooke. assistant en-
gineer commissioner.
Commissioners Furnish Estimate.
According to Mr. Hazen, the Com
missioners, April s, 1908, submitted to
Congress an estimate on the value Of
the land specified in the bill, together
with five additional squares Nos. 226 to
ESQ, between l4th and 18th streets, OF
$19,300.000.
The estimate for the five squares was
$8,228, 900. Later these squares were ac-
quired by the United States for $2,459,-
s31.O8.
ID is said that the value of the twenty
two squares included in the bill. based
on the previous estimate OF the Commits
sioners, would be $3.50 600. Reducing
this estimate by an amount proportionate
to the saving In the actual cost Of the
five additional squares over the estimated
cost, It is suggested, would make the
value Of the twenty-five squares $12,-
10000.
Capt. Brooke estimated that the bill
for the acquisition Of the property should
provide an appropriation Of approx
matefy $1B. 100000.
