Mr.. Harmed said, and called, with Segal, at
Mr.. kissel's home, where he conferred with
him for about an hour. and then they went
downtown to Kissel's office. Segal's fnan-
cial condition and his need for ready money
were discussed. According to Mr.. Harmed,
kissel told him that the loan Segal needed
had to be large enough to relieve him for a
while. and on terms long enough to give
him chance to meet il. As to where the
money did come from Segal did not care,
was Kissels remark, according to Mr..
Harmed

the conclusion that s1,250o00 was needed

could not no run without Kissers consent
The next day they went again to kisseT s
office. Mr.. Harmed testified and kissel told
him he would have to see John +. Parsons.
The only one present at his first Interview
with Mr. Parsons was Mr.. kissel, the wit

had relation to the stock control of the
PENNSYLVANIA company. which was TO he

fFrom Tho Tribune Bureau !

Washington. March 1.-THE admission of
Cyrus II. Mccormick president of the In
ternational Harvester Company, that
plan of dissolution to meet the govern
ment's contention that the company was
acting in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law was in course OF preparation, WAS
regarded as A victory to-day by the ad-
ministration The Department of Justice
had prepared bill and was about 10 bring
suit against the trust Following the usual
procedure, the company was advised OF
this step and Immediately requested time
to prepare a plan of dissolution, with the
assurance that il would be made TO con-
form to the views Of the Attorney General.
The administration was growing some
what impatient because the plan was not
submitted and it is assumed that President
McCormicks admission was made 10 offset
this impatience.
In other quarters II was suggested that
there might be some political significance
in the announcement, as George w. Per-
kins. who is the chief hacker of the Roose-
welt movement, would he most reluctant TO
have suit brought against trust for which
he is responsible and in the affairs Of which
he has long had much to do.
