MARYLAND PAIR WE'D
JUST ELEVEN TIMES
Are Great Travellers, and Marry in
Various Countries to Be on Safe
Side Of the Laws.

Hagerstown. Nd, Nov. 2-To be mar
ried to each other eleven times since
1909 has been the novel experience Of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Vernon, who are at
Braddock Heights. The marriage cere-
monies have been performed in many
different countries.
Asked why he and his wife had been
married so often. Vernon said II was a
sort of hobby with them and they took
the step as a precaution because in some
foreign countries marriages performed
in others are not recognized.
He and his wife were first married in
Columbus, Ohio. in 1903; then in Mon
treal in 1910, in England, Scotland, Wales.
France, Germany, Belgium, and Russia
in 1911; in Sidney, Australia, in 1912, and
in Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1913. They hold
marriage certificates of all these we'd
dings and the display is unique.
In some of, the countries where they
were married they did not understand y
word the officiating clergyman was say
ing, but simply nodded their heads when
they thought the time had come to make
the responses.
They speak French and German.

Quaint idea. of the Soul.

Some Of the curious conceptions of the
Kiwai Papuans with regard to the soul
were described by DIR. G. Landtman in
the anthropological section OF the Brit
ish association. II appears that among
these savages the word for soul has
three other meanings. 1t may mean a
shadow. n reflection in the water, or a
picture.
The shadow idea is the one most close
ly associated with the soul, for II is gen.
orally believed that you can steal a
mans soul by catching his shadow. To
do this the Papuan arms himself with q
hollow piece Of bamboo.

HARVESTER CONCERN
DENIES ALLEGATIONS

Chicago, Nov. 2-The brief of the In
ternationaI! Harvester Company to be
filed tomorrow at st. Paul in the gov
ernment's suit against the company,
seeks TO refute the governments claim
that the company was created Tor the
purpose of creating u monopoly,
The defendants maintain that the COM
pany was organized to obtain the nee
essary capital to enter the foreign field,
and to place the domestic business on an
-the-year-round basis and support this
contention by pointing TO an annual Tor
eign business of 100000
The further claim is made that not a
single competitor has been forced to the
wall or has trade diminished; that dur
ing the last four years new and vigorous
competitors have entered the harvester
business, not counting the Massey-Harris
Company, Of Canada, which iss now free
10 sell its manufactures in the American
markets.
The attorneys for the company are
John p. Wilson and Edgar A. Bancroft,
of Chicago, and William d. McHugh, Of

that persons having charge of his estate
practically had ruined him. Quite a sum
OF money was found In various parts
of the house which the suicide directed
to be taken In charge by Mr.. Denny.
Mr.. Fisher lived by himself, and until

MREYNOLDS TO
war ON TRUST
VIII File Governments Brief
Today Against Interna-
tionai Harvester Co.
CHILD" OF PERKINS
Suit Win Demand Dissolution of ANAL
gamation or Naming Of Re-
ceiyer by Court.

Attorney General McReynolds will file
today in the District Court of Minnesota
the governments brief for the -disintegfa-
ton of the International Harvester Com
pany, charged with being a combination
in restraint of trade and having acquired
a monopoly Of trade and commerce. in
harvesting implements.
1t is contended by the government that
the Harvester Trust is corporate COM
bination and monopoIization similar to
the Tobacco Trust before 1t was dis
solved by order of the Supreme Court
The trust was created in 1902 for the sole
purpose of taking over the interstate
businesses of five competing companies
engaged in selling harvesting implements.
which controlled s. to 80 per cent of the
total harvesting business in the United
States.
1t was the child" says the brief, "of
one not heretofore Interested In the
business, George W. Perkins, banker and
insurance man. who stepped in at an OBJ
perfume time to bring the rival manu-
-facturers together.
The course of the trust since its or
ganization in 1902 has demonstrated an
intent. IL is held, not only to perpetuate
the monopoly of the harvesting business,
but also to build up a monopoly of all
the business in agricultural implements
in the United States
As Bad as Any Trust.
Before the organization of the Har-
Nester Trust the big harvester machine
concerns in the United States, with their
capital stock, were the Mccormick Com
pany. $4,000; the Deering Company, a
copartnership; the Plano Company
Sl.0oO.0O0; the Champion Company, SS.O0O,-
OOe; the Milwaukee Company. 100000
and d. NJ. Osborne & Co. These were
taken into the trust with a capital of
$50 co. O0O. George W. Perkins, Cyrus II.
Mccormick, and Charles Deering being
the voting trustees and controlling the
business. The Milwaukee Company was
made the selling agent for the trust
The selling company has paid no divi-
dendS on its capital stock of 81. O0O, ,OO0
buying and selling at prices fixed by the
trust. Its profits average about Sl50. 600
a year in a business of 800. 600. 900.
Attorney General McReynolds asserts
that the trust has sold since its organi-
zation about 81 per cent of all the bind
ers sold in the United States. This ad-
mitted percentage, it is held in the brief,
Is as large as any that have been proven

C0MMENDABLE INTEREST

The interest that is being shown
by the members OF the police commits
sion in the reorganization of the
force and the making of the force into
an efficient and adequate agency for
the enforcement of the law is most
commendable. There is no better time
for that body of citizens to do Their
full duty in giving the city the best
police service that has ever been
known here.
l. The need of the most careful and
conscientious performance of duty by
every policeman was never greater
than it is now. The enforcement Of
the law should be impartial, fearless
and aggressive. 1t should be such as
to command respect and admiration
and support from every citizen Of
Americas. 1t shoud be intelligent and
persistent, for enforcement of the
law one day, followed by laXity and
negligence the next day, will accom-
plish but little.
A special meeting of the commission
has been called for next Tuesday even
ing, at which time, it is understood.
every member of the force will meet
with the commission. Matters of inn
portance will be discussed thoroughly
and frankly, and specific instructions
will be given to each member of the
force. There is no better time for
such a meeting, and the members Of
the police commission will doubtless
do their full duty in making the po-
lice force here a more effective agencr
for the enforcement of the law than
the city has ever known.
