ATTACKS HARVESTER COMBINE
Uncle Sam Seeks Dissolution of Com
pany by Filing Civil Suit in the
City of Minneapolis.

Washington. d. CA civil anti
trust suit seeking the dissolution of
the International Harvester Co. under
the Sherman law has been filed in
Minneapolis. This is the elimination
of an investigation extending over
five years.
During the past few months Attor-
ney General Wickersham and counsel
for the corporation have made stren-
uous efforts to agree upon plan of
disintegration which would meet the
ends of the law. Their endeavors
were futile and the problem will be
fought out in the courts. The one in
superable obstacle was the refusal of
the Harvester company to separate
the Mccormick and Deering harvest
ing machine companies, which are
subsidiaries, in any plan of dissolution.

WINS IN MISSOURI.
ROOSEVELT CAPTURES EIGHT
DELEGATEs-AT-LAReE.
Taft Supporters Meet After conven-
ton Adlourns and Name Con-
testing Delegation.

St. Louis, Mo.-Gov. Herbert s.
Iladley and his friends swung the
Missouri states Republican convention
for Colonel Roosevelt after a 24-hour
deadlock in which the Taft leaders
finally were driven to surrender.
Eight delegates.at-larg to the ma
tional Republican convention, all
Roosevelt men and all instructed for
him, were elected after two Taft lead
ers had been elected and then had re-
signed their places on the Missouri
delegation when the convention voted
instructions for Roosevelt.
The convention will go down in the
annals of Missouri politics as one of
the most stubborn and dramatic fights
in the history of the state Republican
organization.
Mayor Frederick H. Kreismann OF
st. Louis and Charles d. Morris of
st. Joseph, the latter chairman of the
state committee, were the Taft lead
ers who were elected and who re-
signed as delegates-at-larg when the
state convention voted to instruct the
delegation for Roosevelt.
In making their designations they
charged violation of "gentlemen's
agreement" by which they declared
the Roosevelt managers had assured
them that the delegates at large
would be uninstructed.
Governor Hadley replied to the dec
larations of Mayor Kreismann and
Chairman Morris in this connection
by asserting that he had not been a
party to any so-called "gentlemen's
agreement"
The eight delegates-at-large each
with one-half vote, follow:
Gov. Herbert S. Hadley, Jesse Toll
erton of Bronson, Walter S. Dickey of
! Kansas City, Fred Essen of Clayton,
John d. McNeeley of st. Joseph, John
w. Tippin of Springfield and Alfred
II. Spear of Chamois.
After the adjournment of the con-
vention, a small number of Taft sup
porters met in hotel and named four
delegates-at-large to the national con-
vention.
Memphis, Tenn.-Two sets of dele
gates to the national convention,
both instructed for Taft, were elected
by opposing factions at the Republi-
can convention of the Tenth congress
sional district of Tennessee.

less telegraph business of the world,
admitted before the United States SEN
ate investigating committee that mes.
sages from the Carpathia giving the
news of the wreck were held up so
that operators might handle the pri-
vate messages of passengers. This
admission was forced from Marconi by
Senator William Alden Smith after
the wireless inventor had gone on the
stand and produced a message which
he said would set him right. This was
accepted by Senator Smith, who then
rigidly cross-examined the witness
and drew other admissions from him.
Marconi was excused permanently
from attendance at the sessions after
he promised to have copies of all wire
less messages relating to the wreck
which were received at all of his sta
tions sent to the committee.
Frederick Sammis, chief engineer of
the Marconi Co. in New York, followed
his chief as witness and admitted
that he had arranged with newspa-
per to sell the exclusive stories of
the two Marconi operators on board
the Carpathia when she came to port.
He said that he got $500 each for the
men and that the paper gave them
$3.50 each in addition. The chief en-
gineer denied that he got any of the
money paid for the narratives.
Marconi corrected former state
ment made by him that he had sent
no communication to the Carpathia
while on her return voyage to New
York with the Titanic's survivors. He
said he had sent one at 1 a. M, April
IS, via Siasaconset, Mass, station. 1t

He said this message was confirmed
and that Operator Bride told him that
it was received aboard the Carpathia
He said Manager Bottomly of the New
York office told him no dispatches
were received in reply.

TAFT REPLlESTO
TEDDYS ATTACKS
PRESIDENT. REFuTEs CHARGES
MADE AGAINST HIM BY COL
oNEL ROOSEVELT.
DENOUNCES THIRD TERM IDEA
Executive Mentions Columbus Speech
as Indication Of Former Chiefs
LACK of Accord With Prin-
eiples of Party"

Boston, Mass.-Summing up in the
most powerful language he has yet
used in the political campaign, the
charges made against him by former
President Roosevelt, President Taft
electrified large crowd by refuting
these accusations and explaining moot
cd points dwelt upon by the solonel.
Mentioning in the very first line of
his speech the name Of Theodore
Roosevelt, which he had previously
secuted, President Taft Immediately
launched into lengthy discussion of
the charges against himself and his
administration, placing these accusa-
tions under II distinct heads and con-
cludlng with what he termed "one of
the most painful duties of my life
the denunciation of Mr.. Roosevelt's
third term aspirations.
After touching on the events pre-
ceding his election to the presidency,
including a brief resume of his rela.
tions with the former chief executive,
President Taft mentioned the Colum-
bus speech as an indication of his
former chiefs lack of accord with the
principles of the Republican party"
The announcement of the Ohio
speech as a platform" said the presi-
dent, "sent a thrill of alarm through
all the members of the community
who understood our constitutional
principles and feared the effect of the
proposed changes upon the perma-
nence of our government.
Following a statement that, were it
merely upon himself that Roosevelt
was making the charges he would ig-
more them, the president said that he
was forced to uphold the principles OF
the Republican party and that there
fore, he felt compelled to answer Col.
onel Roosevelt's accusations relative
to the "favoring of an oligarchy," the
Lorimer case, reciprocity, false
charges of fraud and patronage, boss.
ism," the interstate commerce bill OF
1910, special privileges and the trust
records of the two administrations
adding the statement that The nom
ination of Mr. Roosevelt would extend
through the business community q
feeling of such dirtrust as to interfere
with the good times which, if business
is left alone, will expand into the
most encouraging prosperity"
In conclusion, President Taft fiayed
Roosevelt's change of front with re
gard to the third term and vigorously
opposed any such procedure.
There is not the slightest reason
why, if he secures a third term, and
the limitation of the Washington, JET
ferson and Jackson tradition is broken
down, he should not have as many
terms as his natural life will permit
If he is necessary to the government
now, why not later?
"One who so lightly regards consti
tutional principles and especially the
independence of the judiciary; one
who is no naturally impatient of lega
restraints and of legal procedure ant
who has so misunderstood what lib
erty regulated by law is, could mo-
safely be entrusted with successive
presidential terms. | say this sor
rowfully, but l say it with full cas
viction of it's truth

SALE OF COCAINE | BECOMES ALARMING
Energetic Fight Will Be Made Against Users of
 Drug in Mobile

Mobile, February 6.-(Speeial )-An energetic light against the alarming in- crease in use of cocaine by negroes is to be waged by Assistant Solicitor Tisdale J. Tourart, following innumer- able complaints from peace officials who have had to deal with this class of unfortunates.
 The use of cocaine has increased to such an extent that, 1t is stated upon the authority of the police and sheriff, fully 25 per cent of all negroes ar rested for any cause in the city of Mobile are habitual users of the dead ly drug.
 Reputable druggists are up in arms against the alleged sale of the drug by several of smaller druggists and will in all probability call upon the state board of pharmacy to take a hand in the fight.
 Solicitor Tourart today interviewed a number of "coke" fiends incarcerated in the county jail and from them se- cured the names of at least two drug gists who, the prisoners claim, sold them cocaine, and these will be pro- ceeded against.
 While Solicitor Tourart would not give the names of the druggist in ques- tion, it was stated by him that two were well known and that immediate prosecution would follow.

 pr. O'Connell states, however, that MT. King was irrational at intervals all dur ing yesterday, and that he has not yet allowed him to receive visitors, many of whom have called to see him.
 Policeman Meyers, the officer who Is al- legged to have refused to make the arrest of the conductor and his father Saturday night on the grounds that charges were not preferred against them by Mir. King, was yesterday discharged from the police forco by the city commission, all three members concurring in the dismissal. The resolution relieving the city of his services was introduced by Commissioner Lane, head of the police department.
 Henry J. King, Jr., states that his father did not refuse to make charges against the Stanleys and was not asked about 1t.
