clared he would hold the boys baggage

residence of the boys father, where
upon he grasped young Pearce's hand
and said he would be only too glad to

Some years before, it appears, the
father of Pearce had done great kind,
ness for the stewards widowed moth.

'|You see how a kind deed travels
It's your turn now. See that you pass

Some years later Mr.. Pearce while
buying a railroad ticket saw a Lao

him have a ticket. The boy said his
father was very i'll. Upon receiving
the telegram to come at once he haG
hurried to the train and had forgotten
to bring the money.
Like a fash came the words Of Mr.
Pearce's father, pass it on
Immediately he stepped up ant

$l50,OOO PROFITS ON
 Sl00,OOO,OOO SALES
CLAIMED THIS WAS LAST YEAE'S BUSINESS OF INTERNATIONAL
 HARVESTER COMPANY.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Although 1t sold Sl00,000,000 worth of farm implements the International Harvester Company of America last year made only $l50- 000 in profits, or fifteen hundredths of one per cent, according to R. c. Has kins, the president, who stated to. day before special examiner in the governments suit to dissolve the cor poration.
 Questions were asked Dy govern ment attorneys to show that the In ternational Harvester Company of America was merely the selling agency of the International Harvester com pany of New Jersey and that the later company was to make all the money.
 Is 1t not your object to buy from the New Jersey corporation at such q price as will enable it to sell so that you will have neither loss nor a proft?" asked Edwin P. Grosyenor, special attorney general.
 Our object is to buy as cheaply as we can. and to make as much as possible. We try to buy from the New Jersey company at prices we would get from any other company, replied MT. Haskins.
 But you never have paid divi dend,'
 No, we never have"
 Most of today's session was devoted 10 describing the technical features oi farm Implements. MT. Haskins relat ed the methods of sale to farmers il answer to the governments charge that as a tfHstsAtl1e harvester com pany maintained prices to the serious injury of the farmer"
 The witness said the company sold to agents with a per cent discount for cash and the agent, by adding his profit, determined the price the farmer was to pay. One reason, MT Haskins explained, why the sales company made only sl50.000 while it sold $100,000,000 worth of implements, was that it was constantly expanding it's business and expending large sums for adyertising

CUSTOMS COLLEITOR
 REMOVED FROM OFFICE
PRESIDENT TAFT FIRES FEDERAL
 EMPLoYE WHO REFUSED TO RESIGN OFFICE.

Washington. Sept. IT. Robert N. Dove, collector of customs at Eagle Pass. Tex, has been removed from office by President Taft on charges, the nature of which customs officials decline to divulge. James A. Marvin has been appointed to succeed him.
 During the Maaere rebellion against the Diaz government in Mexico, agents of the Madero junta in Washington made formal complaint against Dowe's enforcement of neutrality laws. Dove was then under investigation by the treasury department on other allega. tions and the customs authorities look. ed into the Madero complaints.
 The Madero agents charged that Dove had used his office in favor Of the Diaz government by hindering the movement of supplies and ammunition to the reyolutionists Other allega- tions of sensational nature were made at the same time. In the midst of the investigation, the Diaz gov ernment was oyerthrown and the charges were not pressed.
 Customs officials today absolutely declined to discuss the case Carni Thompson at the white house offices declared the entire affair was being handled by President Taft at Bev- erly.

since the arrest of "Gyp the Blood' and Lefty Louie," Mir. Whitman feels that here he is also coming into pos session of much valuable information in regard to the case.
 Postmaster Fred Johnson is now in Amarillo, Tex, on vacation with his family. Mir. Johnson's name had been connected with allegations that he had given affidavits or information on which afiidavits might be based, in ef- feet that while here Schepps exculpat. ed Becker from complicity in the killing, and last night that news was conveyed to MT. Johnson at Amar- illo.
 Promptly Johnson wired here to friends telling them to deny any such statements, and to announce that he would be back home Saturday, and that if the commission wanted to hear from him it could do so. Mir Johnson may be important enough in the light of the inquiry to hold the commission open for his return.
 Judge c. Floyd Huff, who will act as commissioner in the case, has not received his authority as yet. but that will probably reach this city today. He knows unoffcially that he has been designated as the notary before whom the evidence shall be taken.

ARMoR CREEK wARsHiPs.
American Company Goes to Germany
 to Do the Work.

Hamburg, Germany, Sept. 17.--A party of engineers from the Bethle- hem Steel company. arrived here to- day to arrange for the installation of l4-inch guns, armor and projectiles on the new Greek armored cruiser, the hull of which is to be built in the Vulcanes ship building yards at St. Ettin.
 The contract to supply the armor and guns for the Greek warship, which is to have displacement of 14,500 tons. was awarded to the Bethlehem company while the Vulcanes yard. which competed with an American concern, received only the contract for the hull and the engines The fact that the Americans were awarded the most important contract has caused heart burning among the German steel firms, which steadily asserted that German naval guns were so markedly superior that their 11-inch aud 12-inch guns were equivalent to the 12-lnch and 14-inch guns of foreign makers

 He won their shameful wage earn CTS away from them," declared the attorney. Becker did not hire these men to kill Rosenthal The gangsters had their own personal reasons for desiring the death of Rosenthal, and Becker had neither part nor knowledge in their conspiracy
 Attorney Mcintyre also announced that the discovery of important ev- idence, which will favor Becker. had caused him to abandon his proposed trip to Hot Springs, Ark, to take depo- sitions which would tend to prove that Sam Schepps had deelared Becker was not the instigator of the Rosen- thai killing.
