?Aickeisham told members 0f the Hous?
Committee on Rules to-day that It would
net be neceoeary for them to recommend
an Investigation of the International Har?
vest, r < ompany, as his department was
actively planning the dissolution of that
,o-pnratioii. On this information the com?
mittee agree?! to delay action on the reso?
lution of inquiry introduced by Represen
tatlve lostet, of Illinois.
Th*- Attorney Oneral did not Indicate the
?Jesertment'a plans more definitely, but
menin? - of the committee said they un
?ertttOo4 the Harvester corporation had
been flatly informed that It must volun?
tarily dissolve or be forced to do to by s

hearings on the "money trust" resolution
of Inqulrj will be held next week.
Several anti-trust and interstate railway
pgosecutlone. now under way at Cleveland,
were discussed to-day by Attorney General
Kit kersham. the Asststant to the Attorney
ll, Mr. Fowbr, and District Attorney
l?enman. of Cleveland. The progress of the
government's suits against the alleged
towing monopoly on the Great l.akes, the
' wall paper combination and numerous re?
bate cases was considered
Tb* International Harvester Company, of
New Jereey, was incorporated at Trenton
on August 12. 1902, as a combination of the
Mv*Connich Harvesting Machine ?.'ompany*
the Warder, Bushwell ?t (ilessner ?'omp?
any. the Deering Harvester ?'ompany, the
Milwaukee Harvester Company and the
Piano Manufacturing Compant. Since then
it has absorbed several other harvester
(oncerns. among them the Aultman A
Miller Buckeye Company and D. M_ Os
borne & Co. It was agreed at the time
of organization that the voting trust waa
to run until August 1. 1912, unless a ma
Jonty of the trustees should agree to ter?
minate it. which cannot be done on less
than ninety days' notice.
The company was capitalized at 1120.OtV? -
C*?, of which ?W.OM.OOO was paid In cash.
The other *?$0,00ft.(*00 of stock was issued for
real estate, plants and physical inventories.
All the stock of the company, except
eighteen shares, which are held by the di?
rectors, is deposited with th? voting trust,
of which George YV. Perkins, Cyras H Mc
Cormick and Charles Deering are the trus?
tees.
The Harvester trust has occupied the at?
tention of the Department of .Justice since
1906, when the Townsend report was filed.
The next year papers were prepared by
the government in a suit against the cor?
poration, but this action was held In abey?
ance pending the outcome of proceedings
brought in the Missouri Supreme Court on
November 11. 1907. by Herbert S. Hadley.
the Attorney General of Missouri. That
state sought to oust the Harvester Com
pany for alleged violation of Its anti-trust
laws. Among the allegations in the com?
plaint was the charge that the Interna?
tional Harvester ?'ompany of America was
maintained by the New Jersey Company.
the parent corporation, as a separate cor?
porate entity for the sole purpose of mak?
ing sales of all of the parent Companys
products, and that wl?,h the object of pre
vtnting comp?tition and giving the New
Jersey company a monopoly of the busl
the International Harvester Com
jwahv of America compelled its retnil deal?
ers in each county of the State of Missouri
to handle and eel] only the products of the
It ternational Haivester ?'ompany.
TesttaMMBy was taken by a special com?
mission, among the witnesses being ? yrus
II MeCormlek, president of the New Jer
?. company, who was also president of
th? international Harvester company of
America. The deposition of ??eorge (*>*,

office. Mr Major said that the state had

MOeessry evidence to make a ?ase against

AtTER HARVESTER TRUST.- The At?
orT>ey General informed the House Com?
mittee on Rifle? to-day that he had under
"*?>? the prosecution of the International
Harvester Company for violation of the
' h**rrTian anti-trust law. This trust is the
???pe.iai prt of G(,orgp w pwkiBft A re.
' nn the operations of ihe Harvester
?runt, which does not ennfin.- itself to the
manufacture of harvesters, but makes all
kinds of agricultural Implements, and whli h
* believed by hundreds of thousands of
farmers to flx the prices of the expensive
machinery which they are re.iulred to buy.
was made to the Department of Justice as
long ago as 190f, by a special attorney, Mr.
ToTvnsend. who had been commissioned to
investigate its methods. Representations
were made hy Mr. Perkins at that time to
liW Meet that the Harvester company was
not a monopoly within the nvanlng of the
'aw as to which many persons were In
?1ouht before the ?1r, Isions of 111?- bUpTOIIM
Court in the Standard C1\\ and Tobacco
cases. The result was that the report on
the Harvester trust was pigeonholed, with
th? indorsement that the evidence present?
ed was not sufficient to warrant a preaecu?
tion. Immediately following the decisions
in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases the
dust-covered report on the Harvester trust
was ?lug up. and wa* found to contain some
surprising facts, which led to the beginning
immediately of another Investigation to as?
certain if the same methods were still pur?
sued The result of this second Investiga?
tion was prompt steps looking ta a prosecu?
tion under the Sherman law. This decision
preceded the activity of Mr. Perkins In the!
political world There was also some sort
of investigation of the Harvester trust hv
the Bureau of Corporations, but that also
came to nothing.
"BARKIS*' CUMMINS.?The decision of
Senator Cummins to enter the arena as a
Presidential candidate can prove no sur?
prise to the readers of The Tribune, who
were apprised of Mr. Cummins's intention
as long ago as September .t"., Uli. Two days
before that date the Iowa Senator had con?
fided to certain intimates In Des Moines
that, while he was "actually much more
radical than Bob* La Follette." he did not
want that fa?-t to heenme known, because?
he was convinced I-a Follette was too radi
cal 10 command the support of a majoritv
of the "Republican convention, that Presi?
dent Taft was too ?onservatlve and that
as the result of a deadlock between th?
followers of the two the lightning was
pretty certain to strike Iowa n favorite son,
provided the Iowa delegation were instruct?
ed to stand pat for Cummins. This conver?
sation I related In a dispatch from Des
Moines under date ?u* September 29. Mr.
Cummins has* never ?hanged his purpose,
an?! has secretly rejoiced as he saw his pre
diction regarding La Follette gradually ful?
filled. From the point of view of the sup?
porters o? the administration the an?
nouncement of Mr. ?.""ummlns's candidacy
i? important only as demonstrating the fu?
tility of the La Follette movement and as
conclusive ?vidence of that disintegration
which always attacks such artificial an?!
insincere movements as the insurgent ef?
fort to prevent the renomlnatlon >f Mr.
Taft. Incidentally, moreover. It proves the
accuracy of the statement oft?n made in
this column, and sometimes bitterly ob?
jected to by the insurgents, that the In?
surgent movement, in the P?nate, at least,
was purely the effort of a group of men
actuated by nothing but personal ambition,
who had seized upon the legitimate and
li oper spirit of insurgency against "Can
nonlsm" as a cloak under whieh to pro?
mote their own Interest
THE REVENTE CUTTER SERVICE
The suggestion in the last message of the
President that the revenue cutter service
(should be abolished has aroused thf met
hers of that service to a state of Intel
exvltemeni and some of their friends
resentment. It Is probable, however, th
these people are faking the Presiden'
recommendation too seriously. It I?
fa?t that there is growing up under t
eoverntnent a group of marine services, b
ginning with the navy and lnc!u?lln-; 'I
revenu-- cutter, the lighthouse, the ?;eode
Survey, the armv transport service, tl
Fish Commission service and others, ea?
of which maintains s "fleet." The Prei
dent s suggestion Is ceMain to bring Hi
I sltuntl-n to th? at'entlnn of Congress, at
I If the national legislature ?gives the sul
jevt the consideration It deserves it wl
probably And a way to combine the rlutl?
of these several services so that it will P?
be necessary to maintain more than in
: "fleets " The suggestion Is made thai qull
posslblv the best solution will be found i
retaining the revenue cutter service an
dividing between it and the navy all th
wnrk which Is now distributed among th
several fleet?. As hss heen pointed ot
by the Economy and Efficiency Board, th
necessity cf maintaining tbe revenue cot
ter service to suppre?? wholesale smug
gllng has largely passed, although it 1
not entirely clear that It would remain s
if UM .service whl.-h suppressed it w??r
abolished. On the other hand, the wor
whl.'b the reVOBIN cutter service is doln
In saving lives Is of constantly Increasim
Importance This servies has not only a
excellent fleet but a trained personnel, an
whatever nomenclature tna> be ultimate'
favors?] it seems highly Improbable 'ha
the.-e will be allowed to go to wast?. Tb
EcOQOtny ar.d Efficiency Board report do
not ?jo Into detail reparding Its views on thl
point, but a subsequent report on the sub
Ject Is promised, and it will certainly 1"
tlnie en?.ugh to indulge In hysteria when cl

TRIBCTE TO HETBURN.-The unan
Imou? report of the sub-committee of th?
Senate Committee on Privileges and BiOC
lions exonerating Senator Stephenson Is ?
decided tribute to Senator ?Heyburn, o;
Idaho. The choleric Senator from Idah?
frequently makes himself the target foi
good natured Tin. especlaly a?, fc
his somewhat . hasty temper he has a
total deficiency of humor, hut there Is ne
gainsaying the fact that he did admlrahl?.
work as chairman ot the sub-commit lee
charged with the investigation of the gte
phenson election. In his conduct of that
investigation his methods were at wide
variance with those ordinarily pursued I y
the chairmen of committees intrusted with
similar tasks. From the first he manifest?
ed a determination to get at the facts. Wit?
nesses favorable t?> Senator Stepher.son re?
ceived no more considerate treatment from
th* Senator from Idaho than those opposed
to the Wisconsin Senator. Fiom beginning
to end of the Investigation Mr. Heyhurn
manifested his appreciation of the respon?
sibility which rested on him ami h s com?
mittee, and no sooner had the investiga
tlon begun than all who were wat- lung It?
proceedings were Impressed with the fuel
j that it was being conducted with abso?
lute fairness to all COacwnoS, There were
man-, persons in Wisconsin who had been
j misled by the representations of I.a Follette
| and his faction, and who actually believed
i that the election of Senator Stephenson had
! been corrupt, but even these admitted with
Ina few days after the Investigation began
i that Senator Reybum'S methods were well
, calculated to develop the truth, an?l many
, of them announced that, whatever might be
I the result, they arauM place entire ?onfi
! dence In the findings of the sub-committee.
It Is now admitted that the Senate Is to
j be rongratulat'-d on its ?election ??f ? ?hatr

of the fairness of the inquiry he conducted.
