Same Old
Wet OrDry
Disputes

E. E. Blackman, postmaster at Hard
man, Morrow county, who boasts a
dry" regime, puts a pertinent query
to the Encouragement.
Mr. Blackman says that the town
has previously voted wet" but that
with the incoming woman suffrage
hopes to vote dry" in the near future.
The question asked Isl Should the
town vote dry" would it be legal for
the council 10 refuse to grant a saloon
license?'
The attorney-general replies that
the council might refuse to grant a
saloon license, but that under the
provisions Of the supreme court, petit
toners who had complied with all the
provisions of the local option law
might, by mandamus, compel the city
council to issue license.
If the vote on the home rule amend
ment was at the recent general cleo
ton it would not go into effect until
January /, 1913, and no action could
be taken for license until that time

Suspected
Of Killing
Ills Mother
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE I

San Francisco, Nov 27.-suspected
by the police of numbering his aged
mother, Mrs. Lena Jones, Joseph Jones
tailor, was subjected to the third
degree" today, but no confession was
obtained.
i did not kill my mother" insisted
Jonas. ut is true that we quarreled
frequently about her property valued
at 100000 because she would not i'm
prove 1t, but the thought of murder
never entered by mind. l could have
secured her any number of tenants
had she done as | suggested, but she
refused and the property remained un-
occupied"
Jonas was nervous throughout the
examination but stuck to his story
about returning home and finding his
mother dead, her body covered with a
blanket
Investigation showed Mrs. Jonas
living room Uttered with her belong
ings. The sons property was untouch-
ed. Costly trinkets scattered about
the place convinced the police that
robbery was not the motive for the
crime.
One of the most important factors in
the case, the police say, is the disap-
pearance of the aged woman's will.
jonas alleged he saw her draw up the
document four years ago and he was
chief beneficiary.
A charred paper was found in the
kitchen stove, and the police believe
it to be the missing will. The bits of
paper are under microscopic examin-
alton.

Conditions in Constantinople are i'm

TO BUST A TRUST
Suit viii Be Filed Against In
ternatiOnaI Harvester Co.
elimination of an Investiga-
tiOn Lasting Five Years.

Washington, April ga civil anti
trust suit seeking the dissolution of
the International Harvester company
under the Sherman law will be filed
in Minneapolis tomorrow. This is the
elimination of an investigating ex-
tending over five years.
The International Harvester COM
pany is a 100000 900 corporation COM
posed of six subsidiaries-McCorm
Deering, Champion, Milwaukee, Osborne
and Plano. The refusal of the COM
pany to separate in any plan of disso-
luton the Mccormick and Deering COM
panies said to be its two principal SUBJ
sidiaries, rendered futile the efforts of
Attorney General Wickersham and the
international counsel to reach an agree
ment.
The government maintained that the
socalled trust as a whole controlled
from S5 to 80 per cent of the harvester
business of the country and the Nc
CormIck and Deering firms represent
ed from 60 to 65 per cent of the busi-
ness. Under these conditions the at
torney general refused to consent to
any plan whic.l held the Mccormick and
Deering companies as one.
During the few months Attorney
General Wickersham and the corpora
tfon counsel have made efforts to agree
on plan of disintegration which
would meet the ends of the law.
One important contention of the
government was that the International
Harvester company of America, the
selling agent of the combination should
be dissolved. An agreement on thisl
probably would have been
reached.
The Harvester company is spreading
into many side lines of farming
equipment, in addition to harvesters, |
such as farm wagons motor trucks
a ho ri !
ment of justice officials maintain un-
less the disintegrated concerns possess
far less than so per cent of the bust !
ness possibilities would be opened for
