ANSWER TO HARVESTER BRIEF
U. S. Says Company Is Unduly Re-
strictive of Competitive Conditions
Asks Decree Be Affirmed.

Washington, March 31.-"The Har-
vester company is a combination Of
able competitors together occupying
a preponderant position in trade and
commerce among the states in har-
vesting machines and other agricultu-
raj implements, and therefore, by its
necessary effect unduly restricts COM
petitive conditions in violation of the
antitrust act.
"The Harvester company is also a
combination unduly restrictive of COM
petitive conditions because formed
with specific intent to monopo-
lize."
These are the grounds on which At
torney-General Gregory in brief filed
on Monday, asked the United States
Supreme court to affirm the, decree of
the federal court for the district of
Minnesota, finding the International
Harvester company a combination in
restraint of trade and ordering it dis

U-2e REPORTED DESTROYED
British Admiralty Believes Famous
German Submarine Has Been
Sunk With Crew.

London, March 27.-The admiralty
announced on Thursday that there was
good reason to believe the submarine
U-29 had been sunk with all hands.
New York, March 27.-If, as be-
lieyed by the British admiralty, the
U-29 has been sunk with all hands,
the English are rid of the most de-
structive of all the German undersea
terrors which have been preying on
their shipping. On March II and II
within thirty-six hours the U-29 sunk
no less than six ships off the Scilly
islands According to a letter from
the captain of the steamer Headlands,
one of the ships sunk, the U-29 was
commanded by Capt. Otto Weddigen,
who won fame and the iron cross on
the U-9 earlier in the war by sinking
the British cruisers Hogue, Aboukir,
Cressy and Hawke.

GEAR SEEKS PEACE?
COUNT WITTE, FORMER PREMIER,
IN BERLIN BEFORE HIS
DEATH.
WASHINGTON TOLD OF MOVE
Reported to Have Been Envoy to the
Kaiser to Discuss Terms-Negotia-
tons May Be Continued-War Party
in Russia Opposed.

Washington, March 30.-The state
department has received authoritative
information that Count Witte, EXPIRE
mier of Russia, was in Berlin negoti-
ating peace with Germany prior to
his sudden death.
The negotiations interrupted by the
decease of the great Russian peace
statesman will be taken up anew by
another representative of the czar.
When this will be done is not
known, but the Berlin government all
along has realized that if it is to win
in the great contest under way 1t
can be only through the detachment of
Russia from France and Great Britain.
Indeed, the diplomatic plans of the
German foreign Office contemplate also
the withdrawal of France from the
war and consequent isolation of Great
Britain.
The car and Witte were for peace
with Germany. The party of Grand
Duke Nicholas is for a continuance of
the war with the allies. This party
is the military party, and if its aims
are thwarted there will be danger of
a revolution in the great Slav empire
and the overthrow of the present en-
peror
Exactly what terms Germany was
willing to offer Russia as the price of
withdrawal from the struggle, repre-
sentatives of the United States have
not been able to ascertain.
1t is assumed the kaiser's govern
ment would agree to the reconstitu-
ton of the independent kingdom Of
Poland. Undoubtedly also it would
aid Russia in acquiring free access to
the Mediterranean by means of con-
cessions by Turkey.
The Germans had everything to gain
and nothing to lose by peace nego-
tiations with Russia. If the negotia-
tons we're successful, then a great
step toward German victory would be
achieved.

The vessel was submerged at 9:15
a. m. Thursday and failed to come to

Lieut. Alfred L. EIDE. carried crew
of 25 men.
Attempts to bring the vessel to the

this fact leads 70 fears that the sub

FL group stationed here, the naval
tug Navajo and launches secured the

hour or more in the course of the

and the other submarines began a
systematic search.
Most of the 25 men aboard the F-4
are married and have families.
Rear Admiral Charles B. t. Moore,
commandant of the Honolulu station,
said the men on the F-4 would be in
no danger of suffocation ordinarily for
at least twenty-four hours, and that if
the vessels air apparatus remained
in good order the crew might live a

The F type is about 400 tons dis

knots and underwater speed of eight
to ten knots an hour.
Lieutenant EIDE was born in Nevada
on July 4. 1887. He entered the naval
academy when eighteen years of age
and graduated well up in his class.

Liverpool steamer Aguila were killed
or drowned when the Aguila was tor
pedoed off Bishop islands, according
TO dispatch received here from

the sides. The chef engineer and the
boatswain were instantly killed by the
explosion and II others were killed
outright or were thrown into the wa
ter and drowned.
The Falaba left Liverpool on Satur-
day for the west coast of Africa. Be-
sides her 40 passengers she carried
a crew of 120 men. Her officers state
that when the German submarine ap-
peared it whistled thrice as a signal
for the steamer to prepare her life
boats, but that before this could be
done a torpedo struck the ship near
the engine-room.
Three of the Falaba's lifeboats were
swamped. Many persons aboard the
vessel were thrown into the sea,
where they struggled while the sub
marine circled about. A fishing boat
saved many of the passengers and
crew. Captain Davis of the liner was
