RESIGNS
FROM STATE RACE
Democratic Candidate Gives
Ill Health as Cause of His
Action.

Following the announcement of Earl
Crawford OF Milton, former joint rep
resentative from Wayne and Fayette
counties, that the Democratic nomi-
nees for legislative offices In Wayne
county were all Taggart men and that
he intended to take the stump against
them, Charles Ferguson of Fayette
county, Democratic candidate for joint
representative from Wayne and Fay
cite counties, formally announced to-
day that he had resigned from the
ticket on account of i'll health.
Crawford, by all precedents, was en-
titled to denomination as joint repre-
sentative this year, but was turned
down because of his opposition to Tag
gartism. Recently he announced his
affiliation with the Progressive party
so that he could have better opportu-
nifty to fight Democratic gang rule in
Indiana.
Whether Mr. Ferguson's successor
will be selected at a special joint con-
vention or will be selected by the two
county chairmen has not been an
nounced.

FOR RICHARD BROWN
Governor Grants Webster
Man Ten More Days at
Fathers Bedside.

Through the influence of Postmas-
ter Beck of this city, Richard Brown
of Webster was given an additional
parole of ten days to spend with his
father who Is i'll.
The board of paroles granted Brown

sault and battery with intent to kill
Howard Starr whom Brown shot fol-
lowing a quarrel at Webster. The
prisoners vacation was extended to
twenty days.
A petition has been presented be-
fore the state board of pardons by
friends of Brown here and asking a
pardon for the young man, who. 1t is
said, committed the act under cir
cumstances which place softer light
on the shooting.
Postmaster Beck is acquainted with
Browns father. Mr.. Brown, who
showed little leniency for his son at
the time the crime was committed.
asked that Richard be brought to his
bedside for a few days at least.

not based upon actual wrongs done in
the conduct of the business Of the In

elimination of competition more than

ton and the facts called with its pur-
chase of competitive plants the opin-

tory of the company's growth or In the
manner of developing and carrying on
it's business. The organization of the
company and the purchase of its
plants were acts done in the belief
that no law was being violated.
THE conclusion arrived at seems to
be that the Harvester company is a
good but illegal trust. Its business
has been conducted fairly and econ
omies secured by its organization for
the farmers, but the majority of the
judges hold its existence is illegal.

Combine.
IsY LEASED WIRE.1

ST. PAUL Mimi, Aug. 12.-Dissolu-
ton of the International Harvester
company on the grounds that it is a
trust in violation of the Sherman law
was an order handed down today by
the Federal Circuit court here.
The giant harvester trust must sub
NIT to the court within ninety days a
plan of actually splitting the combine
into which at least three separate and
Independent concerns or the court
will appoint receivership. The de-
cision is signed by a majority of the
judges, only Judge Walter H. San
born of Minnesota, dissenting. Judge
Walter I. Smith of Iowa, and Judge
William C. Hook of Kansas constitute
the majority. The majority decision
declares that since it's organization in
1902 the Harvester company has exist
ed every moment of the time In vio-
lation of Sherman antitrust law. The
original corporation consisting of five
concerns, was violation of one Sec
ton of that law by subducing compe-
tition among themselves, and the COM
mission violated another section by
monopoliZing the department. The
harvester trust represented the D. M.

absorbed it. The harvester trust was
in control of the IS per cent. of agri-
culture trade by SO advertising the
Osborne company the trust caught the
trade which did not want to go to the
trust. The court also censures the
manner in which the five original
concerns were turned over to the trust
through William G.. Lane. New York
banker.

DRINK OF ACID.
ENDS LIFE Of
M|SSBENTL
Efficient Employe of Boston
Store Commits Suicide as
Result of Mental and Phys
ical Breakdown.

As result Of a physical and mental
breakdown Miss Louise Bentlage, aged
81, bookkeeper at the Boston Store,
and q very well known woman, COM
mitted suicide this morning at the
home of her brother. Charles H. Bent
lage, groceryman, 500 South Twelfth
street, with whom she had been living
Miss Bentlage swallowed large guam
tity Of carbolic acid.
Miss Bentlage was one of our most
trusted and efficient employees, having
worked for us for twenty-five years."
said H. c. Hasemeier of the Boston
store. For year she had been ailing
both mentally and physically and for
the last two weeks her mind appeared
to be almost complete blank. She
insisted on working, however, and in
her condition it was thought best to
humor her until arrangements could
be made to send her some place where
she could recuperate, so she had been
employed at light tasks: 1t had just
been arranged with her brother to
have her 60 to Bay View, Mich, on a
vacation, leaving the last of this week
or the first of next. Our company had
given her a three months leave of alb
sence on full pay. Last evening took
her home in my automobile and she
appeared to be in good spirits. Natural
lily was shocked to learn of her death
this morning. She was very fine

Acid Odor Tells Story.
Just when Miss Bentlage secured
the carbolic acid is not known but she
apparently purchased it a few days ago
when she visited a pharmacy to Sc
cure some toilet articles. When she
retired last night Mr.. and Mrs. Bent
lage had no intimation that her condi-
ton was worse than it had been for
several days. Miss Bentlage arose
early this morning. filed a cup with
the deadly acid and then secreted the
bottle, which had not been found up
to noon today. After she had dressed
she went downstairs to the front room,
drank the acid. badly burning her face
and chest as she did SO, and then laid
down on a davenport.
A few minutes later, about 6 o'clock,
her sisterin-law entered the room and
found her unconscious. The odor of
carbolic acid and the empty cup at the
side of the davenport confirmed Mrs
Bentlage's worst suspicious. The un-
fortunate woman died a few minutes
after Mrs. Bentlage reached her side
without having recovered conscious
ness.
No arrangements for the funeral of
Miss Bentlage have as yet been an
nOunced
Miss Bentlage was a life long men,
Der Of the First English Lutheran
church and for many years was a
teacher in the Sunday school Of that
church.
Besides her brother Charles she is
survived by three other brothers and
two sisters, Henry, William and Harry
and Mrs. Frank Wilson and Mrs. Tay-
lor Reynolds, all Of this city.
