REFORM STATE GOVERNMENT
Minnesota State Commission Holds
Its First Session.

St. Paul. Nov. 5.-The commission
recently appointed by Governor Eber-
hart to prepare plan for the reor-
ganization of the state departments
in the interest of economy and effi-
cheney organized at the capitol.
Chairman C. p. Craig was instructed
to name a committee of seven to map
out the work of the commission and
report at some future meeting to be
called by the chairman.
That the reduction Of the number OF
state boards and bureaus and a reduc-
ton of the state tax levy should be
the aim of the commission all who
spoke were agreed. Whether 1t
should confine itself within constitu-
tional limitations and simply recon-
mend the consolidation of depart
ments whose work Is closely related,
or whether 1t should recommend con-
stitutional amendments which would
change the whole form Of administra-
tive and possibly the legislative de-
partments was not discussed.

FIERCE HARVESTER
WAR PREDICTED
Counsel for Alleged Trust So
Informs Court.

st. Paul, Nov. 6.-John p. Wilson
summed up the case for the defense
in the Harvester hearing In a force
full manner.
Following his address j. p McRey-
nolds, attorney general of the United
States, began the final argument for
the government and pleaded for the
immediate dissolution of the combined
companies forming the International
Harvester company.
Among other things Mr.. Wilson said
In the closing half hour of his argu-
ment:
The vital question is whether there
is undue restraint of trade.
The relief sought is an injunction
and demand that the company SUBJ
nit within sixty days plan to restore
competition or the alternative OF a re-
ceivership.
Original competition can never be
restored. Some of the parties to the
original combination cannot now CON-
pete. Physical properties have
changed.
"But whether this plea is granted
or not, there will be in the next few
years competition in these lines such
as the world has never seen. A war
is now on, not only in agricultural i'm
plements, but in harvester lines which
is going to be the fiercest ever known.
ut seems to me that the govern
ment would not have brought these
charges II it had known these facts"

WALSH'S PLURALITY
BIGGEST ON RECORD
Sets High Mark for Democrats
In Massachusetts,.

Boston, Nov. 6.-The extent of the
Democratic landslide In the state
election was not fully realized until
after recapitulation of the figures.
Then ii was found that Lieutenant
Governor David /. Walsh had been
elevated to the governorship in four
cornered contest by plurality OF
1891. ....,s>.....
This is the largest plurality ever ac-
corded a Democratic candidate for the
office.
The new governor carried with him
into Office every Democratic candidate
on the state ticket, with the possible
exception of attorney general. This
is another result unique in Massachu-
setts political history.

Steamer Manchester Com
merce Hits Iceberg.
GAINING ON PUMPS
Craft Arrives at ST. Johns, N. F., In q
Sinking Condition, With Her Bow
Mass of Wrecksoe and Her Decks
Covered With Ice and Debris.

st. Johns. N. F., Nov. 5.--The Fur
ness line freighter Manchester Com
merce dragged her way into the har-
Dor here, her bow a mass of crumpled
wreckage and her pumps racing mad
ly to defeat the food of water which
poured In through the shattering hull.
The steamer, which carries no
wireless apparatus, crashed headon
into giant icebreg at 2 a. m. Sun
day while about 100 miles east of
Belle Isle.
The night was very dark and the
berg loomed out of the blackness SO
suddenly that there was no time to
change the course of the steamer,
which swept at full speed into the
mountain of ice. The force of the
impact was terrific. The steel prov
of the liner was crumpled up like a
piece of tin as far aft as the collision
bulkhead. The decks were covered
with huge fragments of broken ice
and wreokage.
Captain Couch made hasty survey
of the damage and headed his ship
for St John. He succeeded in notify
ing his agents at Montreal by means
oof flag signals.
The sea was swept by a heavy
storm and the steamer had a hard
time making port. Torrents of water
poured into the hold through the shat
tered bow. The pumps, although con-
stantly in operation. could scarcely
hold their own. The ship reached here
in sinking condition. She was the
worst wreck that ever entered the
harbor. Repairs will require about
two months.
The steamer carried 5000 tons of
general cargo. Her lower hold, above
which the water did not come, was
filled with timber, while grain, -four
and foodstuffs were on the deck
above. Her crew consists of forty
officers and men.

Trinidad, Colo, Nov. 5.-General
John Chase, commanding the militia
In the Southern Colorado coal fields,
has gone to Ludlow to determine
whether 1t will be necessary for troops
to search the miners tents and houses
there for concealed firearms.
He told John Lawson, strike leader,
that the concealed rifles must be sur
rendered voluntarily to the soldiers
or search and seizure practices would
be inaugurated. Lawson said he un-
derstood the miners were not requir-

has not been formally proclaimed.
Chase insisted that he must have the
arms.
Five cases of typhoid fever have de-
veloped In the strikers tent colony

inoculate all the troops In that dis
trict to prevent spread Of the dis

huerta Seeks Assistance of
European Republic.
NO DEFINITE REPLY GIVEN
American Officials See in Action Of
France an inclination to Permit the
United States to Carry Out Its Pol.
Icy undisturbed.


Washington, Nov. 6.-The French
foreign Office was asked informally by
the Mexican foreign office If it was
disposed to mediate between the
United States and Mexico, dispatches
from Paris said
The messages say the French gov.
ernment has taken the attitude that it
will do nothing until further advised
as to the policy of the United States
toward Mexico and then nothing
which might be unwelcome.
State department officials take the
position that the action of the French
foreign office in refraining from indi-
eating whether it was disposed to
mediate between Mexico and the
United States is another evidence OF
the intention of France to defer to
the policy of the United States in the
Mexican situation. Secretary Bryan
said of the Paris dispatch:

France Awaits American Policy.
France was among the first of the
European governments to acede to
the request of the United States to de.
fer action in the Mexican situation
until the Washington government had
formulated and announced its policy
Mr.. Bryan flatly refused to discuss
the Mexican situation in any of its
phases. The secretary of state was
asked particularly about one publish
&c report that General Huerta had
made reply to a recent communica
tion from the United States and he re
fused to confirm or deny 1t.
The French ambassador here, NJ
Jusserand, has received no instruc-
tions from his government to take
any steps towards mediation between
the United States and Mexico, though
the embassay would be the natural
channel for such steps.
IL the French government were to
decide TO use it's good Offices at this
stage the uusual procedure would be
for Ambassador Jusserand to SOUND
Secretary Bryan first to learn wheth
er such oyertures would be favorably
received.
