Omaha, Dec. + —When the noon adjournment was taken in the trial of Charles 1. Davis for the murder of Dr. Rustin it was necessary for four bailiffs to block the exits until the jury retired, so great was the crush. No less than a hundred women edged their way into the’ room during the ruorning session, many of them arriv- ing half an hour before court con- vened. They were present to see and to hear Mrs. Abbie Rice, the leading witness for the prosecution, and were rewarded for their effort when the state placed her on the stand. Her testimony was given in the frank man- ner which heretofore characterized her effort to tell the story of her ac- quaintance with the dead physician and she never faltered in telling of the thrilling events of their six months of almost constant compan- fonship. No New Cases Discovered. Philadelphia, Dec. \—Officials of the state live stock sapitary board are confident that they have the foot and mouth disease under control. There have been no new cases for more than fifty-six hours and while attention is being given to tracing cattle shipped into the state from Buffalo no new case has been found. METHODS OF THE HARVESTER TRUST | Wiinesses Testify to Manner of Buying Up Plants. Jefterson City, Mo, Dec. '.—How the International Harvester company of America obtained control of sev- eral of its subsidiary plants was told when the hearing of the ouster suit of the state of Missouri against the com- pany was resumed before Theodore Brace, special commissioner. Vice President Willlam H. Jones of Fos- ter, Cal.,, and J. J. Glesner of Chicago, of the International Harvester com- pany of New Jersey, were the wit- nesses. Mr. Jones told of a visit to New York in 1902 which he said he made at the request of Judge Gary of the United States Steel corporation. Judge Gary introduced bim to George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co., who requested him to sell a plant at Plano, Il. When the check of sale was signed, said Mr. Jones, all property involved was turned over to a Mr. Lane to hold until the organization of a new company. Mr. Jones said that he was willing to sell the Plano plant because fierce competition had de- moralized his business and there was no money in sight for dividend pay- ments. The sale took place July 24, 1902. ‘When the new company was formed it had $120,000,000 capital, of which $60,000,000 was in cash and an equal amount in stock certificates of the consolidated companies. He said that the International Harvester ccmpany has paid dividends since 1907 cf §$21,- 150,000 and has a surplus of §$12,000,- 000. i PLAN Na POLITICAL PARTY Anti-Plutocratic Forces in Session at 8t.

Blown Up by Unknown Parties Despite a Warn- Ing of the United States Engineer in That District—Action Has the De- sired Eifect and Threatened Prop- erty Is Now Safe. Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. L—Radical and determined methods were used by unknown persons in their efforts to divert the swift current of the Arkansas river from the banks at Pine Bluff and throughout the night loud explosions shook the city. Dyna- wite was freély used in an attempt to protect threatened - property. More than one hundred yards of the point of land opposite Pine Bluff known as Boyds point, including a four-room residence, has disappeared from view and the river is sweeping past the city in a wider channel and with less force to the endangered banks. News of the plan to use dynamite had been sent to Captain Parkin, Unit- ed States engineer at Little Rock, and he sent word to stop it at all hazards. The government' boats were prac- tically out of commission, however, owing to the heavy current and could not get to the scene in the darkness. Sheriff Philpott hurried to the river front when the explosions came. The strong current made it impossible to cross the river at that time and he could do nothing to stop operations. A strong sentiment prevails here that drastic as was the action in de- fying the government and using dyna- mite to change the current the end has justified the action. KILLS HERSELF IN BROOKLYN Woman Who Recently Secured Di- vorce at Sioux Falls. New York, Dec. L—An investiga- tion of the death of the well dressed and pretty woman who shot herself before a mirror in the Clarendon ho- tel, Brooklyn, shows that she was Mrs. Lillian H. Falconer Doty, who recently obtained a divorce at Sioux Falls, 8. D, from her husband, a broker with offices at 52 Broadway, this city. The couple were married In 1902 and have a five-year-old son, whose custody was awarded to the mother. She alleged in her petition harsh and offensive treatment on the part of Mr. Doty. After obtaining the divorce the woman returned here, but had not been seen by her relatives for several days. Alexander Falconer, the suicide’s father, who lives here, was notified of her death and the body, which had been taken to the morgue, was turned over to him. Mr. Falconer is a well to do retired merchant, who formerly lived in Bal- timore, but has made his home in New York for several years past. His daughter, who was only twenty-six years old, was married to the hus- band whom she divorced at the Little Church Around the Corner in this city. Mr. Doty himself is well to do and has a country place at Belle Isl- and, on Long Island sound. Assistant Indian Commissioner. ‘Washington, Dec. .—Robert G.
