In Control of
 Two Families
GIGANTIC MONOPOLY OF HAR-
 VESTER MACHINERY
LIKELY IN A FEW YEARS
Assertion of Attorney Grosvenor in Argument for Dissolution of Trust How Competition is Crushed.

St. Paul, Minn. Nov. 3.-Edward P. Grosvenor, concluding the first portion of his final argument for the govern ment in the suit to dissolve the Inter national Harvester company, this af- ternoou, declared to judges of the United States district court that unless the Harvester trust" is disintegrated two families within a few years will own a monopoly of every implement made in this country for the American farmer. The special assistant to At torney General MeReynolds certified Cyrus Mccormick and James Deering of Chicago as the heads of these faIni- lies and characterized them as willing to use their great power to fix prices and intimidate local dealers. as means of crushing competition
 4o,ooo Local Agents.
 Then. with dotted maps of the agri- cultural states of this country MT. Grosvenor showed the location of 10000 local agents or dealers which, he de- clared, is but a portion of the vast selling machinery dominated by the fn- ternational Harvester company. Through the medium of the general sales committee of the corporation, said MT. Grosvenor, acting directly through a district manager, the local dealer was forced to accept the dic- tates of the trust" or be crushed. ALSO, ~LhS 16QSEAl ldWS cI SdINls LAS 4OSdA dealer was used to keep the corpora ton informed of competition.
 Approved MonopoIistie Methods.
 we have shown" argued Mir. Grosvenor, "by evidence which cannot be disputed, that Cyrus Mccormick, James DeerIng and Harold F. McCor- mick, acting as members of this gen. eral sales committed have approved directly the monopolistic methods of the corporations managers or em- ployes, and In doing so we have estab- lished beyond any doubt the character of these people. And that character is such as to make 1t necessary for the courts to restrain them in the future to prevent the destruction of competi- ton and the entrepchment of monopoly by unfair methods.
 Want to Break Laws to Expand.
 "The answer of these defendants is solely the naming of an intent to ex- pand their foreign business. Or, in other words, they demand to be per- mttted to break the laws of this coun- try so that their business may ex- pand. That, 1 insist. is the surn and substance Of their answer, and, as the court we'll knows. this is no Justif1ca- tion,'

LOBBYIST WOOD

No Trace of Important Witness in the
 Tammany investigation

New York, Nov Son the eve of New Yorks mayoralty election Eugene D. Wood, the lobbyist and poli- tician, wanted by District Attorney Whitman to testify today at the John Doe" inquiry into the charges of John A. Hennessy against Tammany Hall could not be found Joy subpoena servers. Wood is the man whom Hen messy, former Governor Sulzer's graft investigator. said had given him the information that Edward F.
