National Conservation.
ST. PAl'l. Sept. . i Special.) At
meeting of the California delegation at
the se.-ond National Conservation Con
gress In the St. Paul Hotel, this after
noon, the question requesting Governor
Hay. of Washington, to call a conserva
tlon meeting In the Spring, at which
tu Congressional delegations. Govern-
ra and other officials of the Western
States would attund. was taken up.
The convention Is proponed to allow
the Westerners opportunity to consider
methods and the particular needs of
conservation adapted to their respective
iiiki iniri from Federal control of
the resourres. None of the members
of the California delegation would say
whether or not the Callfornians went
on record favoring the Western con
servation meeting, nor would any of
,h denv the truth of reports that
there was trouble in the meeting. An
ether report was that a avriotis split
occurred at the meeting, as Governor
Pardee is known to be a strong sup
porter of Federal control of resources.
U L. Brawnson. one of the l alitor
it.'irte declined to discuss tho
meeting, as did the others who a
tended, but satd with emphasis that
uch a meeting of Western peop'.i
would be likely.
"Many of us In the, West are dissa".
Iified with the representation allowed
ua at the present congress. We feel
that the people here do not understand
nrt do not have to meet the same
problem as we in the eWst. I know
that the delegations from Montana,
Wyoming. Idaho and Oregon are very
dissatisfied. I think it likely that a
meeting will be called In the Spring,
either In Spokane or Portland."
Mr. p.rawnson would rot sta'e
whether the Western meeting woull
be opened to the people of the East, but
believed that all the Western Gover
nors would attend. It Is believed this
conservation meeting in the West was
planned by the Governors at the Salt
Lake City meeting, called by Governor
May last month to p'rotest against the
limited time allowed them in the, pro
gramme of the congress now in ses
sion. It is believed that arrangements
for the proposed W'estern conservation
meeting were made at that time.

BERLIN". Germany, Sept. . Spe
rial.) So widespread has become the
alarm in military circles at the danger
of espionage that the airship passen
rer line recently opened at Strassburz
mav have to be abandoned.
The military authorities complain
that many passengers on the initial
trips were foreigners and that some of
them carried cameras. Fear that pho
tographs will be made of the fortlfi
cations of Straasburg and other defen
sive works near the French border has
led to the demand that the airship Una
be transferred to some other place.
Since the arrest of two Englishmen
on the islund of Ttorkum on the charge
of espionage, the spy scare has heon
growing. Military experts a.scrt th it
espionage Is being carried on anions
the European powers to an extent hlth
erto unprecedented. One result of the
I alarm is the demand that the regula
tions regarding the admission 01 visit
ors to the North Sea Islands be made
much more stringent. It Is proposed
that civilians shall b warned away

Jlajor-General Leonard Wood laid tho
final draft of the estimate before Presi
dent Taft at Beverly last week. Gen
eral Wood, who returned to Washing
ton today, said that the President had
approved of the estimates, with a few
changes, and that they were now ready
for submission to Congress through the
Secretary of the Treasury- One feature
of the estimates calls for the construc
tion of permanent buildings In the
Philippines for the use of the Army,
rather than temporary structures, such
as have been the rule.

Knocked Senseless Before Secret
Service Man Can Help.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. (Special.)
The self-possession "displayed by Colo
nel Roosevelt in handling a crank at
Island Park, N. D., yesterday recalled
among his friends an incident which
occurred when he was President. The
incident was kept quiet at the time. '
Accompanied by Secret Service Agent
Craig and Secretary Root, the President
agreed to go on a midnight walk.
Craig was 15 or 20 feet behind the two
statesmen. They were walking down
Connecticut avenue when Craig was
horrified to see a big man jump from
behind a tree and lunge at the Presi
dent. There was a smash and a thud,
and the President was rubbing his
right fist, which Ye had bruised when
he sent It crashing against his would
be assailant's Jaw.
Craig turned his attention to the
man, who had been knocked senseless.
He worked over him 15 minutes before
he restored him to consciousness.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 6. Democratic
members of the Ballinger-Pinehot inves
tigating committee, which will meet to
morrow, have practically agreed on their
report.
While the exact nature of the majority
report Is not known, It is reported that
the decision has been reached to vindi
cate Secretary Balllnger. Contrary re-
ports were also in circulation.
It was said, but without apparent au
thority, that the Republican members
who formerly had been reported as
strongly in favor of vindicating th Sec
retary, were inclined to modify their
view?.
Minority to Uphold Plnchot.
The minority report, it is said, will ap
prove of the course of Gifford Pinchot
ex-Chief Forester: James R. Garfleld, ex-
Secretary of the Interior, and Loufs R
Glavie. the discharged chief of a field
division of the General Land Office
There is no doubt that the report will
condemn the Secretary of the Interior.
Representative E. H. 'Madison, of Kan
eas. a Republican Insurgent, will support
the Democratic members in the fight to
be made at the session tomorrow for im
mediate publicity of the findings of the
committee.
Mr. Madison has prepared a separate
minority report, which will uphold Mr.
Pinchot. The Republican members of
the committee now here, are: Senator
Nelson, Minnesota, chairman; Senator
George Sutherland, of Utah, and Repre
sentative Samuel L. McCall, of Mas
sachusetts.
Hurry Call Sent Out.
Senator Frank J. Flint previously an
nounced that he would not attend the
sessions here and Senator Root, of New
York, who has been abroad, cannot ar
rive in time for the- deliberations. An
urgent call has been sent to Represen
tatives Deny, of Michigan, and Olm
8tead, of Pennsylvania, to hurry here.
It Is apparent to the Republicans that
the Democrats, aided by Representa
tive Madison, could force through the
contemplated resolution.
Should Messrs. Denby and Olmstead
arrive Thursday and the meeting, called
for tomorrow, be postponed until that
time, the Republicans then would have
five members on the ground and the
Democrats alike number.

Mormon Church, who has participated
in the consummation of the sale of
50,000 acres of land for the Mormons
in the State of Coahuila, Mexico, is
authority for the statement that Presi
dent Diaz has assured the Mormon
Church that polygamy and other prac
tices of the church will be permitted
without interference in Mexico.
Mr. Smith also states that his people
will abandon Utah and settle in Mex
ico, when they will not be prosecuted
for their religion and its practice. He
declares that the United States has
gone out of its way in passing unjust
laws to deprive Mormons of their
rights.
The Mormons already own 65,000
acres of land and have a well-established
colony in Mexico, adjoining the
50,000 acres Just acquired, and hold op
tions on many more thousands acres

President Fairbanks today, in speaking
to the survivors of the Mexican War,
declared There is too much hysteria

After paying tribute to the bravery
and courage of the Mexican War Vet
erans. who are holSing a National con
vention in this city, Mr. Fairbanks
said:
"There is too much hysteria abroad
in the land. There are many counsel
lors and among them many false proph
ets. Fortunately, the American peo
pie are beginning to bear on the prob
lcras which face them that deliberate
rational judgment which has been
their salvation in the past. Our coun
try and our institutions have cost too
much in the precious blood of her im
mortal sons to be given over either to
time-servers, or chance, or anarchy."
This will be- the last National meet
ing of the followers of Generals Scott
and Taylor, who in the days of '48 an
nexed a large territory on the south to
the United States.

MissouriWins Decision
in Ouster Suit.
PENALTY OF LAW INCURRED
Subsidiary Company Formed
Merely to Evade Statutes.
THREE MEN CONTROL ALL
Practically All of Mower and Binder
Business, and Large Prorortion,
of Other Harvester Lines
Arc In Hand. A-
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. Sept. S.-Spe-ciol
Commissioner Theodore, Brace, in his
report to th-e Suprema Court in the ouster
suit tiled today declared the International
Harvester Company of Xew Jersey a
trust and a combine for the purpose of
destroying competition In the manufac
ture and sale of harvester machinery.
The International Harvester' Company
of America is declared to be used merely
as u selling agent by the New Jersey
company in evasion of the Missouri laws,
which prohibit the licensing of the New
Jersey concern, by reason of Its enormous
capital of JliU.OOO.OOO.
Existence Merc Fiction.
The subsidiary corporation, according
to Commissioner Brace, once had capita!,
but now has none. Its existence as a
separate corporate entity is a mere tic
tlon to evade the laws.
Tho Commissioner found that the Mc
Corinick Harvester Company, tho Deer
lng Harvesting .Machine Company, War-dt-r.
Bushnell, Gleesner & Co.. the Piano
Manufacturing Company, D. M. Osborne
& Co. and the Milwaukee Harvesting Ma
chine Company, the latter being a re
spondent, were in active competition prior
to ISO.'. In June, isn-j, Cyrus H. McCor
mlck went to George YV. Perkins, of J.
Picrpont Morgan & Co., of New York, and
sought bis aid in relieving competitive
condition:?.
According to the findings, Mr. Perkins
soon perfected a plan whereby the Mc
cormick Company and the other named
companies, except tho Milwaukee cotn
.ny. ostensibly sold their properties to
William C. Lane. Lane, the Commis
sioner found, pretended to sell them to
the International Harvester Company.
Stock Is ApHrtioiicd.
The original companies received stock
in the new concern, apportionad accord
ing to the appraised value of the proper
tits' and for their bills1 receivable, stock
in the same company equal :o the same
amount. The officers of the oriRlnuI
companies, except the Milwaukee, signed
practically identical contracts at the same
lime In the office of an attorney of J. P.
Morgan & Co. Morgan & Co. had pre
viously purchased the Milwaukee com
pany. Lane, the ostensible purchaser of
the original companies, the Commis
sioner found, was a figurehead. The
new company was managed by former of
ficers of the old companies, as was the
international Harvester Company of
America.
The whole stock of the New Jersey cor
poration was transferred to a voting
trust composed of George V. Perkins,
Cyru H. McCormick and Charles Deer-
ins, who have control until 1'.12. Tho
Commissioner found that these men prac
tically control tho mower and binder
business and have potential control of
other lines of harvesting machinery in
the United .States.
Independent Concern Ilought.
Soon after the organization of the
so-called harvester combine, the report
says, it acquired the D. M .Osborne
Company and operated it ostensibly as
an independent concern for two years.
Other companies acquired in 1903 are
the Columbia Cordage Company, the
Mexican Sisal Company, the lllonoin
Northern Railway Company, the Ault
inann Miller Company, the Minnie Com
pany and the Keystone Company, the
last three being manufacturers of har
vesting machinery.
In 1304 It acquired the Weber Wagon
Company and patents of the Betten
dorff Axle Company, and in 3 9t6 the
Kemp Company.
In the first five years the sales of
the companies in the United States
amounted to nearly $200,000,000. In
Missouri the company does about 0
per cent of all business In agricultural
tools, implements, vehicles and rrla
ehinery: in the binder line 90 per cent,
and in the mower line 75 per cent.
Attorneys for the company contended
that the organization was a legitimate
transaction in the ordinary course of
trade.
The report points out that the com
pany was organized to control the bind
er and mower business, and that the
companies that entered the combine
manufactured practically nothing ex
cept harvesting machinery. In his con
clusions the commissioner says:
"I find that the International Harves
ter Company, a combination created for
the purpose of restraining trade, lessen
ing competition, regulating, controlling
and fixing prices of agricultural imple
ments, tools and machinery sold and of
fered for sale in Missouri.
Sales Concern Is Evasion.
"That the International Harvester
Company of America Is maintained by
the New Jersey Corporation as a-separate
corporate entity for the sole purpose of
making sales of its products and for .
that purpose it obtained a license to do
business in evasion of the laws which
preclude the International Harvester
Company of New Jersey from obtaining i
a license and by means thereof has se
cured a monopoly in mowers and power
to secure a further monopoly In the sale
of agricultural tools, implements and ma
chinery In the state.
"The respondent by becoming a mem
ber of such a combination in furthering
tiie purposes thereof by the evasion hits
been guilty of a violation of the antl-
iConcluded oa Pace 3-X
