TELLS AFTER FIFTY YEARS
Haunted by Faces, St. Louisan Confesses
Tennessee Murders.

st. Louis, Mo.-Haunted by the faces
of two men whom he shot and killed a
half century ago, and fearing that the
slow torture of growing blindness is the
fulillment of a curse put on him by n
of his victims, James D. Burton, alias
Hanehan, 81 years old, has decided to
make his peace with the world and seek
to ease his conscience by giving to the
world a true and correct statement of
the circumstances surrounding the shoot
ing ARRAYS.
Hanehan tells of meeting a girl in
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, with whom he be-
came infatuated. As a result of this
infatuation he quarreled with another
sutton of hers named Michael Carney,
and in a shooting that followed, killed
Carney. He says he was acquitted on a
plea of self-defense.
Later friends of Carney tried to trap
him, and he killed Frank MCGUIRE. he
says that he was indicted and placed on
bond. He jumped his bond, and says
that he has wandered over the country
since, but that the indictment at Clarks-
vile still stands against him, although
he shot in self-defense.

International News Service.

Washington.-At last it is an estab
iished fact that William ]. Bryan is to
be appointed secretary of state by Pres
ident Wilson. Although this statement
is unofficial, it is none the less true, and
any official denials that will be made
will simply be denials as a matter OF
policy.
Mr.. Bryan has received an intimation
that he is the choice of President VII
son for secretary of state, and is pre-
pairing to accept the portfolio. He has
cancelled all his lecture engagements
after March 4, so that he may be abso-
lutely free to assume his new duties.
Ever since the election the rumor has
been persistent that Mr.. Bryan would
go into the cabinet, probably as head Of
the state department, but President
Elect Wilson, although he has never said
that Mr.. Bryan would not be a member
of the cabinet, has consistently denied
that he had selected any member of his
official family.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan held a long
conference at Trenton about a month
ago, but at its close both denied that the
claims of any cabinet members were set.

HARVESTER CO, GETS
new JERSEY CHARTER
NEW CORPORATION HAS CAPITAL
STOCK OF ~ 200. 900.
FEE TO THE STATE S14O, 900
Original International Harvester Com
pany Will Change Its Name to
the International Harvester
Corporation.

Trenton, N. J.-What is regarded as
probably the last big corporation to take
advantage of the New Jersey incorpora-
ton laws before the passage OF Gov.
Wilson's incorporation laws, which
the governor had designated the "seven
sisters" was incorporated in the office
of the secretary Of state, when the In
ternational Harvester Corporation filed
its charter with a capital stock of $780,
900, 1000. !
There is already an International Har-
vester Company Incorporated under the
laws of this state. This corporation is
what has long been known as the har-
vester trust. At present it is involved
in litigation with the government.
The Incorporation Of the concern may
be a step to take over some of the bust.
ness of = large corporation, which il
capitalized at $14O, 900 900.
The charter shows that the concern
has taken advantage of section 81 OF
the corporation act, which permits the
existence Of holding companies. This is
the power which Gov. Wilson seeks to
prevent by the corporation bills which
have been passed in the New Jersey leg
i~slature under his auspices.
The fee of the state Of New Jersey
for incorporating the international Har
vester Company was $4,000.
1t is understood that the original com
pany will change its name to the In
ternational Harvester Corporation OF
New Jersey. The International Har
vester Company was declared a monop
oily in violation Of the Sherman act.
