 DELAY IN PAYMENT
Cost $S000 to "Fix the Matter Up," and Law Firm Was Employed to Keep the Bill From

 Chicago, October so-Testimony that the International Harvester company in 1908 paid law firm fee of sSO0o to defeat a bill in the Kansas legislature designed to prohibit the corporation from using an exclusive agent clause in its contracts with it's commission selling representatives, was given today by Rod ney B. Swift, former head of the law de- partment of the Mccormick Harvester company and later connected with the consolidated company, in the hearing of the governments dissolution suit

Reason for Delay

Attorney Edgar A. Brancrof said later:
 "The International Harvester company refused to pay the bill of $S000 until after Attorney Rossington had visited Chicago nd assured Cyrus H. Mccormick and oth- er offices of the company that the money had not been improperly used in defeat ing the bill in the Kansas legislature That was why the fee was not paid nore promptly. Before he died MT. Rossington wrote a letter to the attorney general of Kansas in which he stated that he had never used money improperly in defeating any legislation. The truth of these charges was disproVed several years ago and there is nothing new in the case"
 John J. Glessner. vice president and Di- rector E. N. Wood, secretary of the In- ternational Harvester company, will he examined at tomorrow's session.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-31
Delay in Payment

He said there was some delay in the payment of the attorneys bill. and that MT. Rossington was obliged to make a trip to Chicago before he received the money. Swift declared that Attorney Rossington, who died several years ago, told him that he had expended the money in preventing the passage of the bill in the Kansas legislature.
 Edwin F. Grosvenor, special assistant to the United States Attorney General, introduced the subject by reading into the record the minutes of directors meeting of the Internat6nal Harvester company. calling attention to the bnl pending in the Kansas legislature and authorizing Cyrus II. Mccormick and Charles Deering to take such action as they deemed necessary in the matter.
 The witness then gave the story Of his connection with the affair.
 Did the bill pass?" asked Attorney Grosvenor
 Tt did not" replied the witness with smile.
 Was the procedure in the Kansas matter unusual?"
 Tt was not unusual to employ at torneys in such matters replied the witness.

Competition Was Keen

He contrasted the change in business methods after the organization of the In- ternational Harvester company with the methods prior to 1902, when he said com petition between the defendant companies was keen.
 Previous to the organization of the al- legged combination the companies. he said, varied their prices to meet competition. took old machines in trade and allowed for repairs of new machines.

Binder Irvine Business

Counsel for the government ques- ticned the witness in regard to the binder twine branch of the business. and asked if several states had. not gone into the manufacture of the ar ticle.
 Tn 1903 a bill was introduced in the South Dakota legislature to pro- vide for the establishment of state binder, twlne factory to be operated by prison labor," said the witness.
 Was that bill passed?" inquired At torney Grossvenor.
 Not at that time" replied the wit ness.
 Did the International Harvester com pany take steps to prevent the passage of that bil?''
 q have been told that 1t did," said the witness.
 Counsel for defense objected on the ground that the answer was hearsay svi- dence and the question was withdrawn.
 Swift said that II. l.. Daniels was in charge of the binder twine branch of the business. He said that the International Harvester company supplied sixty per cent of all the binder twine used in this country.
 Swift testified that the profits of the Mccormick Harvester company aggrega ted sl6000,00O for the years 1900, 1901 and 1902, although the corporation was capi- talized for hut S2 800 GOO

LADY
Of VALLEY IS
DEATH VICTIM

Mrs. Sarah Riley Cosgrove, wife Of
James II. COsgrOye and with her hus-
band a pioneer OF the Grand valley,
died at st. Mary's hospital last night
at 1880 O'Clock of an obstruction of
the bowels. She failed to recover
from an operation which was per-
formed Sunday.
Mrs. Cosgrove attended the funeral
of Vernon Doucet last Friday, and,
during the trying ordeal, seemed in
her usual health. Within half an
hour after her return home, how
ever, she was stricken, and gradually
became worse, until it became neces-
sary to operate. The operation ap-
peared to be successful Sunday, but
she was unable to rally, and died last
night at 1890 o'clock.
With the passing of Mrs. Cosgrove,
one of Gods noblewomen left her
earthly sphere of doing good to re-
Ceive the reward of her works.
For thirty years a resident of this
city, where she was active in social
and religious circles, she built for
herself a place in the minds and the
hearts of her friends that was like
unto a shrine. Her sweet, simple life
of noble impulses and kindly acts
endeared her to her hundreds of ac-
Quaintances, and, in her modest, re-
firing way, she became known for
her lovable qualities.
Mrs. Cosgrove came from Cleve-
land, O., to Longmont, Colo, in 1876,
where she married James H. Cos
grove. In 1882 they removed to this
city, coming before the railroads were
rui1t into the city. Since that time
they have lived here. surrounded by
the fast friends they have made in
the long years of their residence aud
esteemed by all whom they knew.
Mrs. Cosgrove was devout Cath
Ollie. and was prominent and active
/ in the circles of her church, She was
