GOVERNMENT IS SEEKING TO DIS
SOLVE INTERNATIONAL HAIR
VESTER COMPANY.
Hearing Is One of Several to Be Held
IN Various Cities Through
out Country.

Chicago.-Taking Of testimony In
the government suit to dissolve the
international Harvester company, a
$14O, OOO, 900 corporation. charging. 1t
with a violation of the Sherman anti
trust law, was begun here before Spe'
cial Examiner Robert s. Taylor.
Clarence 8. Funk, general manager
of the corporation, was the first wit
ness.
The hearing Is n of several to be
held in various cities.
The defendants include George W.
Perkins, Cyrus T. Mccormick, Ebert
H. Gary, president of the steel corpo'
ration; George F. Baker, Norman B.
Ream, Charles Deering and Harold F.
Mccormick.
The filing of the suit in st. Paul
in April was determined upon after the
department of justice and the compa
ny had failed to agree to a dissolu'
ton dividing the corporations proper,
ty among new companies, by court
order, as, vas done in the American
Tobacco company's case.
. The government charges that the
present defendant by combining the
five largest agricultural implement
manufactures in 1902, created a trust
and monopolized eighty-ive to ninety
per cent. of the trade, and threatens
to continue to monopolize harvesting
machinery business in interstate com,

A0GI AND wife SU|C|DL
LIKE THE SUMARAl OF OLD NOGl
SLITS THROAT WHILE WIFE
COMMITS HARl KARI.
Act Carefully Planned by the Couple
as Final Tribute to Their
Departed Friend.

Toxic, Japan.-General Count Ma
ronsunke Nogi, supreme military
counsellor of the empire, and his wife,
the Countess Nogi, committed suicide
in accordance with the ancient GUS
tom, as a final tribute to their de-
parted emperor and friend, Mutsuhito,
The death by. their own hands OF
famous general and his wife was as
dramatic as it was sad: The general
cut his throat with a short sword,
and the countess committed hari'
kari.
General Nogi and the countess had
attended the funeral services of Nut
suhito at the palace here, and 1t was
expected that they would proceed to
Aoyama with the cortege. Instead,
however, at the conclusion Of the Ger.
emory at the palace they withdrew to
their modest home in Akasaka, a SUBJ
urb of Toxic. and there began their
final preparations for death.
First, the general wrote a letter to
his new emperor, Yoshihito, which Ia,
ter was found beside his body. Then
he draped in mourning a portrait OF
the late emperor, which hung on the
wall, and afterward he and his wife
dressed themselves in full Japanese
costume and drank a farewell cup OF
sake" from cups which had been
presented to the general by Mutsu'
hito. .
Darkness had fallen and General
Nogi and the countess sat and await
ed the signal they had agreed upon
to announc their ~leave-taking.
AS the boom of the gun resoundeo
through the clear, still night, General
Nogi arose and, grasping in his hand
a short sword, plunged it into his
throat, while the countess STABBED
herself through the body.

ADMIRAL SWITZERLAND is IN
THE FIELD wITHA FORCE OF
1000 MEN.
NEWS is INDEFINITE YET
The Delayed kilograms Report That
the American Blue Jackets Were
Fired Upon as They Attempted to
open Railway Several Days Ago.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fighting be
tween American naval forces and
Nicaraguan re~volutionists is believed
to have occurred in the past few days
near Barranca, although reports from
the scene are 80 meager that officials
here have no definite idea of what
has happened. Rear Admiral South
erland is in the field, probably with
upwards of 1000 men, and If plans
have not miscarried, by this time ne
has cleared the route Of the National
Railway of opposing rebels and re-
lieved the famine-threatened city OF
Granada.
European attention to affairs In.
Nicaragua at this time Is believed to-
be one Of the possibilities Of the sit
uation. The Washington government
in sending relief to the beleaguered
city Granada, populated by many for
eigners, had hoped to- avert any pre-
tex for landing European military
or naval forces on Central American
soil. The British vice consul at
Matagalpa has reported two British
subjects murdered by the rebels at
Achuapa. 1t is expected, however,
the British government before taking
action upon it's own account will await
the results Of the American campaign.
A delayed cablegram from Admiral
Switzerland, dated Managua, IL
o'clock p. M, September II, and re-
porting that American blue jackets
and marines were fred upon as they
attempted to open the railway, Just
reached the Navy Department. De-
layed reports also said the Granada
relief party had been fired upon; that
the officer in command had halted
and sent to Managua for reinforce
ments, and that Admiral Switzerland
had gone to the rescue with two com.
panies Of marines and a detachment
Of sailors. Whether or not there was
more firing from the rebels before
the additional American force arTfvt
ed Is not known.
