TO ATTACK HARVESTER TRUST.
Government Refuses to Accept, 1t Is
Said. Corporations Dissolution Plan.

Washington. April 26.--Hope of dis
solving the $l40,000000 international
Harvester company without fight in
tie courts has been practically aban-
doned. A suit against the corporation
under the Sherman antitrust law Will
probably be filed at Chicago about the
middle of next week There remains
one bare possibility, however, that an
agreement may be reached, but those
familiar with the problem have lost hope
that the government and the corpora
ton will bridge the difficulties as to
plan of disintegration.
After a protraeted conference, Attor-
General Wiekersham, assistant to
Attorney General Fowler and counsel for
the Harvester company, who have con
drcted negotiations lasting several
months, declined to comment on the
situation. Edgar A. Bancroft and John
r Wilson, representing the corporation,
will return to Chicago for further con
sultation with officials there. President
Taft was appraised of the situation at
a conference between Messrs. Wicker
sham. Fowler and Bancroft 1t is un-
derstood that he agreed that the plans
for disintegration SO far submitted
could not be accepted by the govern
ment. The crux of the whole difficulty,
it is believed, lies in the contention by
the Harvester company that the Nc
Cormck and Deering companies, which
are subsidiaries, shall not be separated
in any scheme of reorganization. The
government wants these integral parts
made distinct.

Washington, April 26.-It is predicted
that the tale Of Mexican atrocities
AGAINST American citizens from Vera
Cruz and to San Francisco by refugees
from the west coast of Mexico will
fierce the state department into making
a reioinder to Mexico's recent answer to
the American ultimatum so severe and
certain in tone that depredations against
American life and property will be COM
mitted to a grave step.
Brigadier General Arson Mills, one OF
tho Mexican boundary commanders, in
statement Wednesday said that inter-
vention in Mexico means fifty years
of war and a continued army strength
of 250,000 men,"
From all quarters OF Mexico the Amer
leans are reported by consular officials
to be alarmed over the Intervention
talk which continues to appear in near
liz all the Mexican papers and in many
American papers received there. This
talk is cited as one of the most dam
perous clements of the entire situation
in Mexico from the American point OF
view. As a result of this uneasiness,

lilies continues. large number having

He Pillories the ex-President for His
Unbridled Ambition and His
Thirst for Power
Sharp Tits.

Washington, April 26.-The sensation
al political debate in the Senate at this
session of Congress broke out yesterday
over Roosevelt's official correspondence
about the international Harvester COM
pany when he was president in 1907.
Senator Bristow of Kansas precipitat-
ed the debate by repeating his charge OF
Wednesday that collision existed be-
tween the Senate and the department OF
Justice in sending the official correspon
dence Wednesday. Senator Williams OF
Mississippi assailed Roosevelt and the
debate became almost ultra sensational
when Williams read a parody ON the
apostles creed, as follows:
81 believe in Theodore Roosevelt, max
err of noise and strife, and in ambition,
his only creed my lord He was born
OF love of power and suffered under VIII
liam II. Taft, was cruciied, dead and
buried. He descended into Africa; the
third year he rose again from the jungle,
assembled into favor and stitch on the
right hand of his party, whence he shall
come to scourge the licked and the dead.
81 believe in the holy Outlook, big
stick, Ananias club, forgiveness of politi-
cal activities, resurrection of presiden-
tial ambitions, and third term eyerlast-
ing. Amen, amen, amen"
After Senator Bristow had defended
Roosevelt and criticised Taft, Senator
Williams vigorously protested, declaring:
Tf the senator can show me that the
present president has travelled the same
way as the former president, | will con-
denim him as strongly as Roosevelt"

Hundreds of people were saved by a

dam had burst, called UP ali the sub

warned them before the lines went down

The bursting of the big dam carried
with it the Mckinley and Rose ponds

split up the opposition. Every Demo

method. This year the plan spread to
