Submit Briefs-Yucatan Re-
port Awaited.

The Senate Investigation into an al
legged combination of American bankers
with Yucatan sisal growers. which De-
gan early in February, ended today.
Chairman Ransdell, in asking counsel
for those appearing to submit briefs,
indicated that the committee was
chiefly interested to know II there had
been a violation of antitrust laws: II
there was a shortage of sisal ana con-
sequent shortage Of binder twine and
what had been the actual increase in
transportation rates. taxes and other
costs which might justify an increase
in the price of sisal.
He said the committee probably
would wait for a report from the fed
eral trade commission which is investi-
eating the Yucatan sisal supply and
disposing of 125,000 bales held by the
planters, before it reports to the Sem
ate.
Cyrus H. Mccormick. president of

the evidence for his company in con-
nection with the inquiry.
Harvester Company Defended.

Harvester Company. who also is di-
rector of the Chicago bank. told the
committee that he had explained to Mr..
Reynolds that he wished to prevent
anything that would cause American
farmers to think that the Harvester
Company was profting financially from
the syndicate loaning money on ssal.

A big crowd of members of the five Methodist churches which form the Pine Bluff circuit attended the annual picnic yesterday at Sulphur Springs, the affair being most delightful in every respect.

under President Wilson when the lat
ter was an Instructor at Johns Hop
kins University.

ginla In 1909. where he was born.
He became lieutenant Of the late
Tom L. Johnson at the time the lat
ter began his fight for three-cent
street car fare in Cleveland, and was

out all his turbulent campaigns In
this city. He was elected city solicit
or at the time OF Johnson's hrst may
orally triumph and was reelected

son was finally defeated. With the
passing Of Johnson, Baker became the
leader of the local Democracy and
was twice elected mayor. He declined
to be candidate for reelection last
fall and returned the first OF January
TO the practice of law.
Baker conceived the idea OF home
rule for Ohio cities and led In the agl-
tation for the new Ohio constitution.

he personally led on the floor OF the
convention to prevent the adoption
OF the unit rule saved those Ohio
votes to Wilson and did much to
make possible his nomination.
