ARGUMENT FOR
HARVESTER co!
ARE At AN END
Concluding Plea Did Not
Demand Acquittal But
Asked That the Court Dis
miss Case Without Pref
udice to Either Side.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 5.-Counsel
for the defense in the governments
suit to dissolve the International Har-
vester Company at noon today cots-
cIuded final arguments before the Unit
ed States district court. Attorney Gen.
eral McReynolds prepared to sum UP
for the government.
Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago gem
eral counsel for the harvester concern,
in his closing appeal reviewed trade
conditions from the time of the incep-
tion of the International Harvester
Company to the time OF the fling of
the governments suit and said the
evidence disproved nearly every as
sertion OF guilt made by the govern
mena.
He admitted that at the beginning
Of the concerns career some things
might have been done by some of the
five division MANAGERS which were not
exactly right under the law.
'1 desire to impress upon the court" !"
the attorney continued, "that at the
beginning there existed great rivalry
between these five division managers,
as each probably had a vision of pos
sibly being raised to the general man
agership of the big new corporation.
And, doubtless, these managers. for a
short time, did business as it had been
done for years in the harvesting and
machinery lines
Judge Hood interrupted Mr.A Ban
croft to say: 'I don't suppose there
has been a business of any kind that
has not had some of this sort of thing.
But the question before this court is
whether there was enough of it by
the International Harvester Company
to make this concern guilty under the
provisions of the Sherman law"
John p Wilson, concluding for the
defense. did not demand aequittal but
asked that the court dismiss the case
without prejudice to either side, thus
reserving to the government the right
to intervene at any time in the future

SCOUT CRUISER rs
uHpERE1 TO VERA CRUZ

Washington, Nov. 5.-The scout
cruiser Chester at the philadelphia
navy yard was ordered today to pre-
pare to sail for Vera Cruz Immediately.
The Chester is not a heavy fighting
ship but swift and valuable for scout
duty. OF lighter draft than the war
ships now at Vera Cruz she win be
able to join the smaller craft on shore
The Chester has the highest power
wireless apparatus of any ship In the
navy. With her apparatus, Washing
ton and Vera Cruz will be in direct
touch constantly by medium of the
great wireless towers at Arlington. The
unofficial view. is that the Chester is
being sent to Vera Cruz principally as
a means of instant and official COM
munication.
Secretary Daniels explained that the
dispatch OF the Chester was part of
his plans to sub-cruisers for the
heavier battleships In Mexican waters
so that the latter might resume prac-
tice. The change, he said, would be
made gradually as cruisers were not
available on the east coast in any
number.
The Chester, owing to her light draft
Is especially adapted to service in the
small harbor at Vera Cruz and will be
available IL necessary for service in
the protection of foreigners at Tampico
or other Mexican gulf ports which
cannot be closely approached by the
larger battleships. 1t is the announced
intention Of the navy department to
order home one battIeship upon the
Chester's arrival.
1t viii be necessary to pick up
enough enlisted men from the battle
ship North Dakota at the New York
navy yard and elsewhere to bring the
Chester's crew up to the full compli-
n1ent. It is expected that can be done
in "a hours. As the Chester is one
of the fastest ships OF the navy, hav-
ing made more than IS and half
knots on her trial trip, she should
reach Vera Cruz by next Monday even
Ing or Tuesday morning.

Ideal Home City.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 30.-The city
of Cleveland, home of the three-cent
car fare and other similar successes
along progressive municipal gov
ernment lines, today is contemplating
another venture which will greatly
benefit the Ordinary person" if It
works out as planned. Cleveland is
going into the real estate business.
When Cleveland gets down to work
under the new city charter, which has
been called the last word In progress
i've principles, the city will undertake
the establishment of a model village
or community of homes for working
men that will stand as a great Amer
lean model of the ideal American
home. The city owns a 93-acre tract
of land near the outskirts This will
be laid out in lots and streets to form
what is hoped by the planners to be
perfectly mapped out city in en-
bryo. Arrangement and naming of
streets, parkage, sanitation and every
detail that goes to make up a "per-
feet city" will be planned by the best
experts. Homes that would be sold
by private real estate corporation
for at least $4,000 will be erected on
the plots. They will be sold to 500
Cleveland workingmen for $4,000 and
the terms of payment will be within
reach Of any steady, industrious
worker. 1t has not yet been decided
whether title to the land will remain
with the city or be turned over to a
stock company. Mayor Saker favors
the former idea.
Two town planning experts of ma
tional fame-Shurdles of Philadel-
phia and Schmidtlap of Cincinnati
have been engaged to start the pro-
ject. Architects, landscape artists
and model village" experts all over
the country will be asked for compet-
tive suggestions. The best of these
ideas will be crystalized into the
