G—Attorney General James McReynolds, conclud- ing final arguments for dissolution of the International Harvester company before United States district court, this afternoon asked that an inter- locutory decree be entered by the court, declaring the Harvester .concern a monopoly in restraint of trade. He requested that the defendants have a reasonable time to submit to the court a proper plan of re-organization. “It is the view of the government that this company must be cut up In- to separate and distincs units,” the attorney genergl said. “This must be done in such @ way that the stock- holders of the different parts must be distinet, We insist that it is an economie impossibility for companies ownedq by the same people to furnish bona fide competition.” Continuing he sald: “No man who looks upon that pic- ture can fall to see that this concern had thé absolute power to fix prices. Of course, there existed no desire to get 100 percent of the business. A certain amount, of competition keeps down public sent!ment and helps in other ways. “Intent is wholly tmmaterial.

Nine survivors of the Parker's crew reached here aboard the lumber schooner Tifion, from Jacksonville, which had picked them up from dories 20 miles offi Nantucket Sunday morn- ing, after they had been afloat 24 hours without food or drink. A tenth survivor, Harry Nelson, of Beverly, son of the captain, was_left behind on the Boston fisherman Josie and Phocbe, exhausted from his experi- ence, but hoping to find trace of his father. Reuben EKenpey, the cook, found a watery grave when he was swept over- board from a dory while his mates looked on, powerless to help. His home was at Glenwood, N.'S. He leaves seven chifldren. The missing men, beside Captain Nelson, are: Les- ter Fietcher of Argyle Sound, N. 8. Ross Worthen of Pubnico Head, N. &; Thomas Lmadry of Arichat, C. B Schooner Ran Aground. The Axnnie M. Parker, homeward- bound from the fishing grounds,,and carsied off her course by adverse winds, went aground on Rose and Crown shoal, off the Nantucket coast, early Saturday morning. The Vessel was wracked by the waves and the crew agreed with Captain Neison that hope safety lay in getting clear of their cratt. So tl abandoned her. Three boats were put over the lee- ward side before one was launched. The first was smashed; the second was swamped; the third was floated and elght ;men put out in it. Two other boats” were dropped overboard safely on the windward side. The first held three men; the last contained Captain Nelson and three of his crew. Had Neither Water or Foed. It was pitch dark and the dory crews were losi to_the view of each other almost in a moment. The last seen of the boat in which Captain Nelson left his ship was when it was rounding the bow of the schooner. The seas were the hollows between them the little craft swung around the bow afd out of sight. The men in the other two boats did not see each other until daybreak. When they got together an account of stock was taken and it was found that neither had water, or food. Nearly Exhausted When Picked Up. They drifted about all the day and the following night. constantly buf- feted by heav s, one of which car- ried Reuben néy, the cook, over the stern. Kenney fought hard to swim back to the boat, but went down before his comrades could reach him. When_they were picked up by the Tifton Sunday morning ali the surviv- ors were nearly exhausted. The sup- piles aboard the Tifton were low and the ten added hungry mouths taxed the schooner's lockers to their utmost. The Boston fisherman Josie and Phoebe was sighted and hailed. The of promise } skipper had no_fish or board when he set a trawl He puiled in a goodly catch, which, with flour and meat, was turned over to the Tifton’s captain. Ty Nelson remained with the Josie and Phoebe in the hope that he might be able to obtaln some tidings of his father and three mates. Picked Up by British Steamer. By an odd chance the Annie M, Par- ker preceded her crew into a port Staunch and firm, apparently, Wwith only a jib missing, she was towed into New Bedford today, raising the ques- tions “Why should a good ship be abandoned by its crew, and where was the crew?” The Parker had floated herself from the ledge and had been sighted Mon- day, drifting with all sails set, by the British steamer Astrakhan. The steamer placed a prize crew aboard and the schooner arrived at the whal- ing port in tow of tbe revenue cutter Gresham, which was summoned by wireless. List of Survivors.
