So I asked the doctors to kill the baby, but they would not because they said the police wouldn't let them. So I come to ask if you'd help me to do it all regu- lar.'
 At Cleveland's deso1ate home the city physician found the baby in con- vulsions and the mother inhysterics He instructed that both be taken to a hospital. He said it would be inn possible to operate on the infant Curing the conVulsions.

HARVESTER co. SUBMITS DAILY AND MONTHLY BALANCES
To Senate Committee Handling the
 SisaI Investigation.

Washington, March 2.-Charges that the Interna tional Harvester company had attempted to prevent the Conti- mental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago from lending money to help finance the Mexican sisal crop were followed today by placing in evidence in the senate's sisal investigation a statement of the company's daily bal ances and monthly averages at the bank for the last three years.
 The average balance for November, 1915, when Sol WeXler, then a New Orleans banker, was negotiating with Arthur Reynolds, vice president of the bank, was S1,270,600. It was then, Wexler charged, that Reynolds said Cyrus H. Mccormick, president of the Harvester company, had threatened to withdraw the company's business if the bank gave aid to the sisaI grow CTS. The next month, December. 1915, the average balance was $798,300. In January, 1916, it was $43, 100.
 A telegram rec q into the record from the harvester co mpany denied that it's account had been withdrawn from the bank and accounted for it's reduction as follows:
 Last week in December, 1915, in- stitution mentioned offered to sell us $479,000 par value our notes at two and interest. We purchased them and paid by check our account with the same bank, thus reducing balance ap- proXimately half million
