Des Moines, Sept. II. - Although
Colonel w. G. Baldwin, the Virginia
detective who ran down Sidna Allen
and Wesley Edwards here and took
them back to Hillsville, Va, to stand
trial for the courthouse murders, re-
fused to talk on the subject, it is un-
derstood that Preston Dickens, q
mountaineer, who has known the Al
lens for years, worked with the Off
GERS and gave them some valuable
information. While he probably will
get large share of the $2,25O reward
for the capture of Sidna and Wesley.
revenge was his governing motive.
Dickens, it is reported here, was
sent to prison for counterfeiting. on
information furnished by the Aliens.
After the officers failed to run down
the Aliens with bloodhounds and
posses, it is reported that they turned
to Dickens and secured his parole
from prison that he might return to
his mountain home and work on the
case. It is reported that he kept
track Of the Aliens and their friends,
watched Miss Maud Irolier, sweet
heart Of Edwards, and gave the Off
GERS valuable information which may
secure a complete pardon for him
later.
Police officers here are chagrined
because they missed the big reward
and allowed Allen and Edwards to
live here peacefully for six months.
Among the papers Of Sidna' Allen,
Hillsville outlaw, captured here Satur-
day, reporters today found his diary
and account book, showing that since
arriving here he had spent but 81 a
week for room and about rs cents a
day for food and had saved his wages
as carpenter till he had balance of

with lighting company and for two
weeks had been making trips to near

of Business.

Chicago, Sept. 1S-Although it sold
e1O0,000,000 worth of farm imple-
ments, the International Harvester
Company of America, last year made
only $4,000 in profits, or fifteen
hundredths of one per cent, accord
ing to r. c. Haskins, the president,
who testified before special examin-
er in the governments suit to dis
solve the corporation, under the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Questions were asked by the gov
eminent attorneys to show that the
International Harvester Company Of
America was merely the selling agent
of the International Harvester COM
pany Of New Jersey and that the lat
ter company was to make all the
money.
One reason, Mr.. Haskins explained
why the sale company made only
$150,000 while it sold $10O,000,000
worth. of implements was that it was
constantly expanding its business and
expanding large sums for advertising.
The government established proof
that in a second instance the Inter-
national Harvester company had alb
sorbed an Independent company and
allowed the trade to believe the con-
Germ still was Independent.
On the first day of the hearing Clar-
ence S. Funk admitted the Osborne
company had continued to advertise
Its independence for two years after
absorption.

American purpose. the instruction
declares, is to foster true constitu.

selfish designs Of would-be despots
and not upon any principle or popular

In part follows:
United States Policy.
THE policy of the government Of
the United States in the present Mic
aragunn disturbance is to take the
necessary measures for adequate le-
communications and to protect Ameri-
can life and property.
I'm discountenancing Zelaya, whose
regime of barbarity and corruption
was ended by the Nicaraguan nation
after a bloody war, the government Of
the United States opposed not only
the individual but the system and this
government could not countenance any
movement to restore the same regime
The government of the United States
will. therefore, discountenance any re-
vival of Zelayaism and will lend it,
strong moral support to the cause Of
legally constituted good government
for the benefit Of the people of Nicar-
aqua, whom it has long sought to aid
in their just aspiration toward peace
and prosperity under constitutional
and orderly government"
The communication closes with a
denunciation of General Mena. leader
Of the present insurrection, whose re-
volt is declared to have been in flag
rant violation of promises, without
even the pretense of contending for a
