is UNDER SHERMAN LAW
Action Will Be Entered at Minneapo.
lis-Interesting Litigation Is
in Prospect.

Washington, April ga civil anti
trust suit seeking dissolution of the
International Harvester company un-
der the Sherman law will be filed in
Minneapolis tomorrow. This is the
elimination of an investigation ex-
tending over five years. During the past
few months Attorney General Wicker
sham and counsel for the corporation
made efforts to agree on a plan of dis
integration which would meet the ends
of the law. Their endeavors were fu-
tile, and the problem will be fought cut
in the courts. One insuperable obsta-
Gle was the refusal Of the harvester
company to separate the Mccormick
and Deering Harvesting machine
companies, which are subsidiaries, in
any plan of dissolution.
CONTROLS 90 PER CENT.
The government maintained that the
trust" as a whole controlled from S5
to 80 per cent of the harvester busi-
ness Of the country and its two prin-
Clpdl "SSOl thio
Deering represented 60 to 65 per cent
of the business. The harvester COM
pany is spreading into many lines of
farming equipment, in addition to the
harvester, such as farm wagons, motor
trucks and cream separators, and the
department of justice officials main
tain unless the disintregrated con-
Germs possess far less than so per cent
of the business, possibilities will be
opened for a monopoly in many farm
implements and materials additional to
harvesters.
s14,0O0,0OO CAPITAL.
One of the important contentious of
the government has been that the In
ternational Harvester company as
American selling agent of the combi'
nation be dissolved. Agreements on
this proposition probably would have
been reached. The International Har
vester company is a s140,000,000 cor
poration, composed of six subsidiar
! les.

False Statements.

Boston, April 90. - An episode
unique in American politics took
place in Massachusetts, today, when

Roosevelt's trail. Supporters of La
Toilette, Wilson and Clark are also
active.
CLAIMS BENEFICIAL RECORD.
Taft's address at Attleboro made
no reference to Roosevelt. The pres
ident declared the three years of the
present administration had been pro-
gressive years and defied anyone to
show record of more beneficial leg
islation accomplished in the same
length of time. Taft's voice was
hoarse, but strong.
FOR PEOPLES GOVERNMENT.
Taft made his first attack of the
day upon Roosevelt at Taunton. He
said Roosevelt had misrepresented
and mistated his (the president's)
speeches in reference to the ability of
the people to govern themselves.

by and for the people," cried the
president, and the crowd yelled its
ksgpTovaf.'

assertions made by President Taft last
night. Roosevelt said he clearly re
membered Taft being present at a full
cabinet meeting discussing the har

interest of the people as a whole to
the purpose of securing political ad
vantage for himself"

J. R. Graham of Chicago, Winner of Important Events at Stockholm At tributes High Scoring to Reliable Guns

Supreme in a majority of the main events so far reached in the Olympic games at Stockholm, the American team was most notably triumphant in it's magnificent clean up of the shooting competitions.
 Against a formidable field of eX- perts picked from the nations of the world, the Yankee marksmen upheld cur reputation as q nation of crack shots in a manner to make glad the heart of every American.

 In an interview after the competi- tiOn, MT. Graham attributed a great portion of his success to the easy action and reliability of the arm used and to the speed and accuracy of the American made ammunition

 LIKE FORD
Estimated Two Fords Sold Here to Any One Other Make, Is Ed Rudolph's
 Encouraging Slogan; De
 mand Too Great to Supply

Ed Rudolph says it looks like a Ford year in Arizona
 Counting up on his fingers just how many little buggies he's sold to date. he figures eighty-siX would about make it from the first of October iast to now.
 The agent says the F'ord's popularity in Arizona is due in a great measure to the lightness and stand up ability of the machine. In this more or less wild country. where the roads are of ten mere tracks, the appearance of a car has little to do with it's recommen- datiOn The boat that can do the work and keep in shape after hard usage is the most sought and bought vehicle.
 Orders for Fords have never been quite cleaned up. The demand has al ways made away with the supply, and according to the agents figures, the number of Fords disposed of here might just as well have reached 150 if the shipments could have arrived in time
 Prospects for next seasons Ford sales are even brighter than they were last The fame of the light car has been greatly increased by it's road achievements and the buyers of a mod erately priced automobiles are all look ing forward There should be no diff culty in selling 200 cars this year if the manufacturer can keep up with the orders.
