Bonaparte Can't Tell When Harvester
Trust Was Discussed.

New York, April 30.-Colonel
ROOSEVELT returned here this morning
from hi scampaign in the Massactu-
setts primaries and spent the early
part of the day at his offices. This
afternoon he planned to go to his
home at Oyster Fay.
Colonel Roosevelt again contra
dicted President Taft in a Statement
today regarding so-called harvester
trust case. Colonel Roosevelt said:
'I was positive that the harvester
trust matter had been discussed in full
at least once at cabinet meeting
after Mr.. Taft returned. Mr.. Bona
parte now sends me the following tele-
gram:
d" Baltimore, April 3O.-Date of
cabinet meeting when harvester trust
discussed either II or 21 January
1908; probably former.
CHARLES J. BONAPARTE.'
THE action of Mr.. Taft in this case
is not compatible with even the fee
blest kind of good intentions"

KEEPS HIS PLACE
C.. B. SeybOId Only Available
Attorney in Morton County.
Other Lawyer Refuses to Have
Rivals Job.

Attorney General Dawson reported
to the governor today on the charges
brought against Clifford B. Seybold,
county attorney of Morton county. The
attorney general found no grounds
upon which to base a specific charge
of custer or prosecution against the
young official. Nevertheless his some
what lengthy report presents some
strange and interesting phases.
Seybold was charged with drunken
ness, neglect of duty and grating by
certain Morton county citizens, notable
among them being a physician who
the attorney general found was prac-
ticing medicine without a license and
who was being prosecuted by the ofh-
cial against whom he had brought the
charges.
the mere fact that a public official gets
drunk does not constitute proceedings
of custer, improper and immoral as
such conduct may be held. A public
official has a right to get drunk pro
vided he does not do so in a public
place. He can get drunk at home or
In the home of friends
Dawson went pretty thoroughly into
the matter of all the charges and found
none of them specific and well grounded
and free from personal interest AMI
prejudice He found that there is a
feud on in Morton county that involves
a majority of the people of that sparse
ly settled county. The charges against
Seybold involved a fight between
postmaster and private citizen, the
seduction of a girl and the flight of the
seducer from the community. Also the
settlement of claims in a case and an
estate.
Dawson also found that there We're
only two lawyers in Morton county, one
of them the county attorney and the
other an attorney who had refused to

Seybold should be ousted there was 20
one to take his place and the county
needs an attorney. Seybold was ap-
pointed some months ago by Judge
of Garden City. The judge
stands by his appointee, and do
many reputable citizens of the county.
Unless the governor cares to press the
matter over the attorney generals head

against Seybold without further action

CHARGES MONOPOLY OF TRADE
The Court Is Asked to Issue an
Injunction
Barring It's Products From In

st. Paul, April S0.-Suit against the
International Harvester company
charging it with being a monopoly in
restraint of trade and asking that it
be dissolved, was filed by the govern
ment in the United States district court
here today.
In a petition in equity this $40, 100000
corporation popularity called the Har-
vester trust, is declared to exist in
violation of the Sherman law and its
dissolution is sought.
To accomplish the disintegration of
the so-called trust, the government
asks the court to issue injunctions to

WILL HURRY 1T Up.
Wickersham Will File a Certificate of
Expedition.

Washington, April S0.-The prosecu-
ton of the Harvester suit, it was de-
clared at the department of justice to-
day will be expedited as much as pos
sible. Because of the Importance of the
issue, Attorney General Wickersham
will file a certificate of expedition, the
effect of which will be to remove the
case from the district court of Minne-
sofa to the United States circuit court
of appeals for the eighth circuit This
eliminates the district court and to that
extent hastens the issue on the su-
preme court where it is generally con-
ceded the case will be finally de-
termined.
The earliest possible date at which
the case can come to issue before
Judges Sanborn, Hook. Adams and
Smith, comprising the eighth circuit, is
about August 5. The defendants must
make their appearance in court by
June 8 and they will have until July 1
to answer the petition. The govern
ment must file its replication by Au-
gust 5. Under ordinary circumstances
the case then will be at issue.

STRIKES A Mine
Steamer Texas Sinks at En-
trance to Smyrna Gulf.
One Hundred and Forty Per-
sons on Board Drowned.

Smyrna, April 30.-The steamer
Texas, belonging to the Archipelago
American Steamship company, struck
a mine at the entrance to the Gulf
of Smyrna and sank. One hundred
and forty persons on board were
drowned.
The Texas was flying the Turkish
flag and was engaged in carrying mail
from Constantinople to the Levant- 1t
was first stated that the Texas was
from the fact that she is part of a
fleet of local concern trading under
the name of the Arcri~ ~elago Aneri-
can Steamship company.
Ninety Passengers Rescued.
Constantinople, April 3o.-Ninety
Texas were rescued, according to re-
ports received here. Several of the
rescued were injured. No mention is
made of the crew.
It is alleged the disaster was due to
the Texas deviating from the course
indicated by the pilot boat preceding
her through the mine field.
The Gulf of Smyrna is one of the
finest harbors in the Mediterranean
port of Asiatic Turkey. The entrance
was extensively mined recently by the
Turkish authorities to protect the
port against an attack by the italian
fleet. The Texas was a vessel of 261
tons net register, built at Newcastle,
England, in 1888, she was at first call
ed the Olympia, then rechristened the
Marguerite and finally the Texas.
At the time of the anti-Greek boy
colt the feet to which the Texas be-
longed and which consists of eight
vessels bearing the names of American
states was authorized to fly the United
States flag by the American consul
general here because the company was
largely controlled by American inter-
eStS.
