the German defenders recently were
fought, Is explained in a dispatch
from the French foreign minister, re-
ceived here this morning. He says:
"Rumors regarding the loss Of the
forts of Liege by the Belgian troops

suits in Lower Prices For Stock on

Effect Of Threatened Boycott.

Chicago. Aug. 12-Agitation by con-
sumers against high prices had con-
siderable to do with todays decline of
40 to so cents per hundredweight in
the price Of hogs. as compared to yes
terday's quotations.
This was admitted today at the
stockyards where it was said threa,s
Of general boycott against all kinds
Of pork had the effect of cutting off
the demand from butchers. In some
cases the drop in prices since Monday
has been as great as dollar. Coinci-
dent with the boycott threat hog re-
ceipts have enlarged greatly.
Likelihood OF a widespread abstaina-
ton from beef and mutton as well as
porq also was taken notice of at the
stock yards. Today's prices for cattle
were down 10 to Is cents and for sheep
and lambs there was an equal decline.

Stop Prosecution Of Officers Of Lines
Action to Be Taken Soon.

Washington. Aug. II. Criminal

the New Haven case will not be de-.

that the action OF the New Haven di-
rectors in accepting terms which per-
init of presenting an agreed decree for

The next move will be to bring up

The option Of the state Of Massa-
chussetts on the Boston & Maine stock
the government. The sale Of the stock
is to be put in the hands OF a board OF
trustees. Officials here point out that
the real idea underlying the option is
to head Off the possibility OF the Bos-
ton & Maine being sold to other rail-
road interests inimical to Boston in
particular. and Massachusetts, in gem
eral. 1t is expected that the New Haven
may represent to new legislature
that the option constitutes restriction
on the sale and that 1t should he given

the best possible advantage within the
year allotted. at the expiration Of
which the court would step In and orr

Committee to Carry Funds to Stranded
American Tourists.
London, Aug. 12.-The American re-
lief committee expects that today ar
rangements will have been made with
Walter Hines Page. the American am
bassador at London. to send a commit
tee to Germany with money for the re-
lief of Americans there. The COM
nlittee will be headed by John H. Fin
ley of New York and will go to the
continent under the auspices of the
American Red Cross society.
The cancellation Of the sailings OF
steamers taken over by the British
government and the lack OF definite
news concerning the dispatch Of Amer
lean transports have caused many
Americans whose business compels
their immediate return home to book
at greatly increased prices, some as
great as from $500 to 5000 on steamers
making special voyages.
Taboo Robber Lines.
The regular lines continue to charge
a maximum price of sS5 for first class
cabin tickets to the United States. The
American committee has refused to
have anything to do with steamers for
which higher prices for passage are
charged.
A troop of boy scouts has volun-
teered to assist the American commit
tee, acting as messengers and escorts
for women, and they are doing valu-
able service at the railway stations
where they accompany the subcom-
mittees to welcome American arrivals
and take women travelling alone to APP
proved hotels and boarding houses.
There are comparatively few visitors
at the American embassy and consula tie
general today. the committee having
relieved those offices Of much work.
Embassy Reinforced
The American embassy staff was re-
inforced by Chandler Hale, former as
sistant secretary OF state. and William
Eustis OF New York, who arrived in
London from Havre. and the STAFF IS
now better able to handle the German
business.
Needy Germans are being assisted in
a small way. but greater relief will be
available as soon as the wealthy Ger
mans of the city are officially assured
that their donations to the fund will
not be regarded as a hostile act.
DR., A. Lawrence Lowell. president OF
Harvard university. has requested. in
a cablegram to Ambassador Page. that
the embassy advance funds to Harvard
professors now in Europe.

Chicago. Aug. 1.-THE harvester case
will be taken to the supreme court Of
the United States a. soon az possible
according to a statement made here
today by Cyrus H. Mccormick, preai-
dent of the International Harvester
Company. Mr.. Mccormick said:
THE adverse decision II . great dis-
appointment As understand Il, tt is
not based on actual wrongs done In
the conduct OF the business OF the In.
ternational Harvester Company, but
on the elimination OF competition more
than ten years ago between the COM
panies whose properties ware purchas.
ed by it.
The adverse opinion acquits the
company and It's officers and directors
OF the charges OF over capitalization
and unfair and oppressive policies and
practices
1T does not sustain the charge made
in the petition of the government. but
abandons the argument that the cofa-
pany has charged excessive or unfair
prices.
Violated No Law.
Aside from It's original organization
and the facts connected wfths IT. -puss,
chase OF competitive plants, the opin.
lon finds nothing TO be condemned IN
the history of the company's growth
or in the manner OF developing ana
carrying on its business. The orxan-
ization OF the com pany and the pur-
chase of its plants were done In tho
belief that no law was being violated,
after conversation with competent
counsel OF the highest standing.
The organization OF the company 10
condemned by the majority OF tho
court as a violation Of the Sherman
act. but the company is not found
guilty OF having violated the law in
the conduct OF its business. or having
injured its customers or competitors.
"Good But illegal Trust"
The conclusion arrived at seems to
be that the harvester Is a good, but
illegal trust. It's business has been
condusted fairly. and the economics
, secured by Its organization have in
ured to the benefits OF It's customers,
the farmers, bQt nevertheless the ma
jority Of the judges hold its existence
is Illegal.
Inc decision IS py dfVloed court.
and the case will not be ended until
the supreme court has said the last
word. We still hope that the great
public benefits secured by the organ
ization of the company. and the meth
DDS adopted In carrying on It's business
Will be made permanent by the final
decision in the court OF last resort It
may we'll be that that court will hold
the view expressed in the dissenting
opinion OF Judge Sanborn."

Of the European war has caused the
withdrawal from this island of nearly

fishing fleet on the grand banks, to
order all vessels that were sufficiently
supplied with coal and provisions to
proceed to France Immediately. Others
which were brought back here to refit
have been sailing for Brest every few
days. One trawler left yesterday with
two officers and thirty two soldiers who
had been stationed here.

United States to Delay Recognition.
With the entry of constitutionalist

Disquieting advices again reported
that General Villa would not march
south with his men, as ordered by Car
rama, but would remain in the north
and demand a convention Of represent
atives Of the army, as agreed on in the

Should this be refused by Carranza
