Federal Supreme Court Uphotds Order of Ouster From— the State. LONG DEBATE IS PREDICTED Senators Expect to Discuss Trade Commission Bill for Two Months —House Passes All Anti- i Trust Measures. Washington, June 9.—The supreme court today affirmed the decree of the Missouri supreme court ousting the International Harvester Company of America from the state and fining it $25,000 for violation of the state anti- trust law. A The court held. the law was consti- tutional, although it applies to re- straints. of combination dealing in commodities and not combinations of labor. G Proceedings against the Internation- al Harvester Company of America, the selling branch of the International Harvester Company, were brought in Missouri by Herbert S. Hadley, then attorney geneiml, in May, 1908. The attorney genera] alleged that the com- pany was a trust.in violation of the common law and the anti-trust laws of Missouri and asked that the court oust the company from the state and impose a substantial fine, * The taking of testimony was be- gun the same month as the filing of the suit and continued more than a year. Judge Theodore Brice was ap- pointed special commissioner for the supreme court and heard the suit. The testimony covered more than 1,€00 type-written pages. , The principal witness was George W. Perkins, partner then in the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co, Mr. Perkins was said to be one of the chief men in the organization of the Internation- al Harvester Company, which was formed in 1902 by the merger of eleven companies dealing in farm ma- chinery. On the testimony of Mr. Perkins largely the opinion of Com- missioner Brice was based. * Commissioner Brice reported . his findings to the supreme court in Sep- tember, 1910, He recommended that the company be held guilty. WILL DEBATE ALL. SUMMER y ¥ ‘Frade Commission Bilt to Ocoupy Sen- > ate’s Attention Until Late in August. Washington, June 8.—The house is through with anti-trust legislation and will be hard at work on the appropria- tion bill and general legislation for some time to come, The passage ot : the tolls repeal bill with a senate amendment will revive the subject in the house, but it is not believed that there will be any great difficulty in getting that body, to accept the-bill as amended. If the house does fail to accept the amended bill, it must go to confer- ence, but the President is almost cer- tain to win his fight for’Trepeal in the end. Few senators expect debate on the trade commission bill to end in less than two months. The bill itself might not take such a great length of time, but it is open to amendments of any sort .and there is little ques- tion that many will be offered. Unless they limit action to the trade commission bill, congress seems likely to be in session for a long time to come. Though night séssions might help toward an early adjourn- ment, many senators strenuously ob- ject to working night and day during a sweltering Washington summer and at present the prospects for adjourn- ment before the middle of August, or even later, are not particularly bright.

So I said: “ ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I congratu- 30 of us—not a vacant place, Ah, the menu! Let me advise the entire 27 | Of you to take the clear rather than the thick soup—it 1s easier to digest.

If you will choose the light sole instead of the rich turbot, I guar- antee that ever one of our octette will sleep the better for it. As to the next course, I recommend the chicken, rather than the pork. Steward, since there are four of us, bring a large chicken, fresh grilled. I say, steward, one moment. Change that order to a half a chicken. That is quite enough for two. Or, no—a quarter of a chick- en will suffice. I shall finish my din- ner alone.’”_ SPEECH WITH THE PRESIDENT Conversation Was Not Lengthy, But It Served the Purpose of Little Judson, Two friends of long standing met at the club one evening and engaged in a reminiscent talk. Munroe had apparently met everybody in the world worth knowing, from Mrs. Pankhurst to King George. As for little Judson, he was clearly outclassed, and he felt it keenly. He had always shone in club gabfests,. but on this occasion Munroe had him down. Suddenly, ‘however, his face became illuminated with hope. “Ever meet the president, Munroe?” ¢ “Well, no, Judson; I'm sorry to say I have never met Mr. Wilson—that is, as yet. I admire him greatly, but every time I’ve been in Washington he’s been off traveling somewhere. Did you ever meet him?” Judson, “Oh, yes,” announced proudly, “Met him only a short time ago.” y Bory ed “Where?” “On the links.” “Did you engage in conversation with him?” “Well—er—in a way, yes. he spoke to me.” “Really? What did he say?” “Fore!” satd little Judson. That is, That Spring Feeling. As the first‘ warmth of spring brought a feeling of lassitude, the farmer’s wife in older days would go through the woods for “yarbs” from which to make a brew as a tonic for the whole family. The city man, feeling the laziness of “spring fever’ coming over him, brought from the corner drug store a 49-cent package of “Old Doc” Some- body’s spring tonic. But things are changing. Men have learned that the best spring tonics are the gifts of a beneficent nature. A full breath of fresh air, a brisk walk along a grass- grown road, a plunge into the cool waters of the old swimming pool—if the water is pure and cold—or the morning shower if in the city, fresh green food, or the pursuit of a bound- No Danger of Competition. — In L'Esprit des Francais is an in- biting wit for A young author whose ability was late you.

Cacked by Suffs. <v York, June 9.—Mrs, Inez Mil- uénd-Boissevain, the noted suffra- geite, has a breach of promise suit for $50,000. But it is only in her ca- pacity as attorney for: Miss Henrietta Hossfeldt, a 22-year-old chorus girl; whose parents live in Wichita, Kas. With the aid, it is said, of Mrs. O. | H. P. Belmont, Miss Hossfeldt began t a suit in the supreme court today for $50,000 for breach of promise against Dr. William Willard Armstrong, a wealthy physician. Dr. Armstrong’s | wife lef? him last September, after | they had been married two months, and he has not been able to find her. Dr. Armstrong denied tonight that he had ever promised to marry Miss Hossfeldt, whom he said he had be- | friended. But to show his good faith, he called on Mrs. Roissevain and agreed if the famous suffragette could prove to him that the young woman who is suing him is acting in good faith, to obtain a divorce from his wife, if that could | be done without collusion, and marry Miss Hossfeldt. Dr. Armstrong is 50. Miss Hossfeldt lives in an uptown apartment with two members of the Casino chorus. ‘The. defendant ‘said that his acquaintance with the plain tiff becan at her home last winter in the company of a woman friend who introduced her to the physician. She had lost her position in the thea- ter, she told Dr. ArMstrong, he said, and was in financial difficulties. He offered ter the use of his home, where also has a maid. Dr. Armstrong said he told Miss Hossfeldt that she could have a home there and eat at his table es long as she remained in| her straitened condition. | The typewriting FRAUD IN NEW YORK ELECTION Eighiy-Eight Indictments Fol-/ ae ¥ This Tyfewriter has Ball ciate at all frictional foines Typewriting requires a Good Operator —and a Good Typewriter that is demanded throughout the business world to-day is neat, properly aligned, clean-cut, and free from errors.
