PROFITS s16,5OO,OOO
Annual Report Gives Net Earn
Ings For 1912.

Ch1cago-Cyrus II. Mccormick, pres
fdcnt Of the international Harvester
company, made public here the report
Of the corporation for the year 1912.
which shows Il net profit Of $780,
50T.1G on total income Of S120,51S.-
1892. The capital stock is $14OOOO,-
600, and the surplus on Dec 81 was
$315S0, ,544 06. In his comments on the
general situation last y'ear Nr. McCor-
mick suys:
'8Tho year 1912 was one Of eyceD-
honal prosperity for the fnrming com
munity throughout the world. The
production Of the principal grains IN
creased almost 20 per cent over the
preceding year and yielded q crop
value considerably larger than any pre-
ytous record. This created an incrcus-
ed demand for harvesting machinery,
t1llage implements and other farm up-
pliances and enabled the company to
make substantial gain in the gross
volume Of sales. The Increase effected
In net earnings, however, was not pro.
IOrtionato to the gain in volume. owing
to the reduction in selling prices Of the
company's principal lines.
The expansion Of the foreign trndc
continues. The sales Of harvcsting
machinery abroad Increased % Del
cent, and the sales Of other farm i'm.
Dlemcnts, engines and tractors incrcas
cd IA per cent over 1911 The foreign
trade now exceeds 40 por cent Of the
total business Of the company and con
tributes more than proportionately tc
the net earnings. while the domestic
sales Of harvesting machinery and
twine in 1912 were less than two-thirdt
Of the total business"

Spo1d 90 tho Japanese appeal for DIS
continuance Of the alleged discrimina-
ton would be likely to lead to some
estrhngement Of the two peoples. The
Japanese public generally is convinced
that the land bill Is racial and not an
" economic measure and hence q blow
to Dational pride, and 1t feels that the
world must be taught the necessity Of
equal tren tlnent Of the whites and non
whites
The Tokyo newspapers are loud in
their praise Of President Wilson's zeal
&n his endeavors to preserve the trndi-
ffonal friendship, and they recognize
The difficulties which confront the pres
tdent Of the United States in the con
fusing conflict between state and fed
eral rights
The Nichi Nicht IS Of the opinion
that the question as to whether the
Washington government can procure
equal rights for the Japanese dcpends
upon the strength Of japanese diDlo-
macy, and 1t urges the government to
take firm attitude
Joint celebration Of the Japanese
: and American peace societies here was
: attended by 1000 Japanese. Speeches
were made by Count Okuma, former
minister Of foreign affairs; Baron
foshiro Sakatani, mayor Of Tokyo, and
TsunejirO MiyaOka. who was coun-
c1lor Of the Japanese embassy at Wash

deavored to clarity the situation. and
all decried jingoism.

BIG TREE FALLS IN
 RAVINE OFF SACHEM STREET
Broke Pole and Carried Wires to the Ground--Two Children Narrowly Es- cape

Suddenly, and without the least warning, large tree situated in the Falls ravine midway between the foot of the wooden steps and Yantic street fell with a resounding crash about 930 o'clock Tuesday morning. When the big tree toppled over it fell di- rectly across the wires strung through the ravine and carried them to the ground in a tangled mass The shock was so sudden and the tension of the wires so great that a pole at the foot of the ravine was snapped off short and in falling to the ground struck the barn used by the Falls com pany a glancing blow.
 Just what caused the tree to fall is not known, but as it was situated on one of the steep sides of the raVine it is thought that the earth slid away from the roots, carrying the tree with it. At the time of the accident two small Polish children were busily en- gagged digging worms for fish bait in the raVine and they narrowly escaped being struck when the big tree crash ed down. The authorities were noti- fled of the accident soon after it hap pened and the damage was repaired during the day.
