BOSTON. April 3O.--The struggle
for the control of Che Massachusetts,
delegates to the republican convention
in Chicago between Pres. Tart and
Colonel Roosevelt was so close In the
primaries today that at midnight win
half the state tabulated the two as
pirants were running neck and neck
for presidential preference while IN
complete returns showed that they
had also an equal division Of the dis
rict delegates.
On the preferential vote, returns
rom half the state gave President
Taft 30,035; Colonel Roosevelt 2s,-
~. On the other hand Baxter, VINO
Nhtaded the Roosevelt group Of can
didates, had 30.S34 to 26,349 for Sen
ator Crane who led the Taft ticket.
The closeness Of the fight In the
republican ranks overshadowed the
democratic contest Returns from
half the state gave Speaker Clark

The, LaFollette vote had failed to
reach four figures at midnight.
The Taft leaders seemed sure OF
carrying the first district, and won
the eleventh, consisting of number
of wards In the back bay section.
President aft carried Boston by
about 500 votes. The eastern towns
lined up strong for Roosevelt while
the central portion was evenly split
The total vote for the two candi-
dates was about so per cent OF that
polled by the republican candidate for
governor last November.
The race between President Taft
ard Colonel Roosevelt which on the
showing OF the preference ot voters
was a neck and neck affair for several
hours. absorbed so much attention that
the long lead OF Speaker Clark over
Governor Wilson was almost forgot

President Taft carried Boston ex-
elusive of Hyde Park, by more than
500 but ran behind in the small towns
that had reported up to 10 p. m. In
these small towns together with q
number of wards in the cities OF
North Adams, Haverhill Newbury

A MONOPOLY IS ALLEGED
CHARGES THE COMPANY HAS
MONOPOLISTIC CONTROL
OF FARM MACHINERY.
Also ASKS RECEIVERS
Would Bar the Products of the De-
fcndant from All Interstate
Commerce.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 3.--By fill
ing a petition in equity in the federal
district court here, the government to-
day instituted suit against the In
the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law.
The government asks:
That the S140, 900, 900 corporation be
dissolved on the ground that it is a
monopoly in restraint of trade.
That injunctions be issued TO bar
from interstate commerce the products
of the International Harvester COM
pany, or of the International Harves-
ter company Of America. It's selling
agency.
That receivers be appointed to take
charge of the property and wind up
the business of the defendant, II the
court finds such action compatible
with public interest
Assistant District Attorney j. Mark
Dickey, who filed the petition before
Judge Chas. A. Willard announced that
the subpoenaes issued for Cyrus II.
Mccormick, president of the Harvest
er company, and for all the rest OF
the eighteen individual and seven cor
poratlons who are named In the pc
tition, are returnable May 8.
At Issue In August
The defendants must enter their
appearance in court by June 3, but
it probably will be July before they
will be required to answer the govern
ments petition. After the govern
ment files its replication, probably in
August, the case in all likelihood will
be at issue.
Mr.. .Dickey received word that At
torney General Wickersham would
probably file a certificate of expe-
dition. The case by this means will
be removed from the district court OF
Minnesota to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the Eighth
the supreme court of the United
States.
The chief charges by the govern
ment against the Harvester company
are:
Has Advanced Prices.
That the company is monopolizing
the manufacture and sale Of harvest
ing machinery, has advanced prices
'to the grave injury of the farmer and
the general public"
That the company controls at least
ninety per cent of the trade in the
United States in harvesters or grain
binders, seventy-five per cent or the
mowers and more than fifty per cent
of the binder twine; that there are
only three or four manufacturers 9TH
er than the International in the Unit
ed States, and that as these have only
a small part of business. and in some
a small par of he business, nd in some
International has a monopolistic con-
trol>
That the company ha absorbed
competing. companies, while allowing
the companies still to advertise as
being independent thereby mislead-
ing and defrauding the public and
more effectually crippling competit-
ors and keeping out new ones
Used Unfair Methods.
That the defendants have resorted
