International Harvester
 Would Be Judged by
 Rule of Reason Clause

Washington, March 1.--In brief filed in the supreme court today. replying to the governments recent brief, the Inter- national Harvester company asks that it be judged according to the rule of req son rather than the rule of size," and according to the actual language of the Sherman law.
 The brief contents that the case against the harvester company rests entirely upon its alleged violation, not of what Con- gross put into the law, but of what the government counsel now asserts Congress had in mind when it enacted the law. It further points out that the Standard Oil and tobacco companies were con demned, not because of their size, but on account of their wrongful purposes and oppressive acts. The new and different claim now made by the government is that the mere uniting in the harvester company of former competing companies Is a violation of the sherman law and this is declared to be condemnation "by the rule of the size.''
 The brief points out that the federal trade commissions recent report, urging amendment of the Sherman law to legal ize combinations in the export trade, rec ognizes the very necessity which prompt ed the organization of the International for the rapid development of foreign trade.
 It is explicitly denied that the Inter- national has the power to drive out com petitors or raise prices In 10 years the Internationars competitors, the brief adds, increased it's capital stock more than $13S, 900, 900 against the International 8 42c 900 GOO increase

 Once this object and complete ann nesty shall have been secured we will put ourselves under the protection of the laws of Cuba" Dr. Ferrera said the
 
 his advices and that we were not guided by any ambition except that of the triumph of law and justice and that IS proof of this we are following strictly the way pointed out by Presi- dent Wilson and have ordered all sugar mills to resume operations at once"
 pr. Ferrera said he had sent his of fer of retirement from public life of himself and all the other revolution ary military chiefs to Menocal through Wilfredo Fernandez. a conservative party leader in the house.
 T do not address myself to the President owing to his violent answer to my cable" Ferrera's message to Fernandez says. Please do that your self for our comradeship in the house and our good friendship which I sup pose sad and unforeseen events have not disturbed. especially with you, them.
 If the President Is disposed to solution that can preserve independ- ence and liberty I offer the withdrawal from public life of all the chiefs of the actual military movement and above all my own, inasmuch as for us to know how to withdraw in difficult moments for our country's sake is not sacrifice but a glory.''
 pr. Ferrera said his cable referred to was one in which he suggested that Menocal resign as a means of com posing Cuba's troubles.

LIONEL BARRYMORE IN
 THE END OF THE TOUR"


 The Rialto offers it's usual big attrac- tions for the weekend. Lionel Barry more comes in "The End of the Tour and Mrs. Vernon Castle in "Patria."
 "The End of the Tour" is 8 good clean comedy, with a thread of heart interest and an occasional thrill. Buddy Byron Bennett is the leading man of the Chicago Ideals Theatrical company and sells foun- tain pens as a side line The company has mighty hard time of 1t on it's day down south and finally gives up the ghost in a Texas town after the manager had skipped with the receipts. Buddy sells enough fountain pens to send the balance of the company home and re- mains to direct a local amateur show. Then fate steps in and Buddy is found to be the son of the local boss, but not until he had been shot by his own father after he had rescued his sister from the clutches of an evil travelling agent.
 Of course Buddy does not die, else 'The End of the Tour would be trag- edy instead of a delightful comedy.
