U. S. DISTRICT COURT
ORDERS DISSOLUTION
[Continued From First Pnffc]
the trade in agricultural implements
manufactured by them, their treat
ment of smaller competitors in general
has been fair and just.
Finds Fault With Actions
The court finds fault with the ac
tions of the corporation, aside from
the technical violation of the Sher
man law. for only two actions. The
opinion declares that there was no
excuse for the advertising of the prod
ucts of D. M. < >sborne & Co. as inde
pendent for two years after it haa
virtually entered the International
Harvester Company. This advertising
was to induce purchasers, the court
finds, from those who were opposed
to buying from the combination.
The other act censured by the de
cision was the manner in which the
five original concerns were turned over
to the International company by Wil
liam C. Lane, a New York banker,
who contended that he had purchased
the properties.
"The court is clearly of the opinion,"
the decision reads, "that the process
by which it was made to appear that
the properties were sold to Lane was
merely colorable."
The court holds, however, that the
property turned in to the Inter
national company was greater than
the stock issued for It. and that the
case involves no question of over
capitalization.
Other Cases Cited
The court cites portions of the de
cision in the cases of the Standard Oil
Company, the American Tobacco Com
pany, the Du Pont-De Nemours Com
pany and other cases as to what con
stitutes the restraint of trade, reason
able and unreasonable, anil concludes:
"We think it may be laid down as a
general rule that If companies could
not make a legal contract as to prices
or as to collateral services, they could
not legally unite, and as the com
panies named did in effect unite, the
sole question is as to whether they
could have agreed on prices, and what
collatertJ services they would render
when their companies were all pros
perous, and they Jointly controlled SO
to So per cent, of the business In that
lien in the United States. We think
they could not have made such an
agreement.
"If the five companies which formed
the International had been small and
their combination had been essential
to enable them to compete with large
corporations in the same line, then
their uniting would, in the light of
reason, not have been in restraint of
trade, but in the furtherance of it;
but when they constituted the largest
manufacturers of their articles in
America, if not in the world, and held
jointly about 80 to 85 per cent, of the
trade, and two at least of the com
panies forming the combination were
prosperous, their combining was. when
similarly viewed, an unreasonable re
strain of trade. If the business of the
separate companies combining was
unsuccessful it could be plain that
their combination was reasonable in
view of the rule of reason as pro
claimed by the Supreme Court, but it
is conceded that the McCormick and
the Deering companies 'had established
reasonably successful and prosperous
businesses,' so that question is elimi
nated.
Lean I Business Shown
"There is no limit under the Ameri
can law to which a business may not
independently grow, and even a com
bination of two or more businesses, if
it does not unreasonably restrain trade,
is not illegal; but It is the combination
which unreasonably restrains trade
that is illegal, and if the parties in
controversy have 80 or 85 per cent,
of the American business, and by the
combination of the comDanies all com
petition Is eliminated between the con
stituent parts of the combination, then
it is in restraint of trade within the

meaning of the statutes under all of
the decisions."
The decision reviews the history of
the manufacture of harvesting imple
ments in the United States, asserting
that prior to the organisation of the
International Harvester Company the
principal manufacturers of harvesting
implements in the United States were:
The McCormlck Harvesting Machine
Company, of Chicago, founded in
about 1849.
D. M. Osborne & Co.. of Auburn,
N. Y„ founded about 1860.
The Warder. Bushnell & Glessner
Company, of Springfield, Ohio, found
ed about 1869.

of Chicago, founded about 1875.

of Milwaukee.

of West Pullman, 111.
Harvester Case Will
Soon Be Appealed in
Supreme Court of V. S.
By Associated Press
Chicago. 111., Aug. 12.—The Har
vester case will be taken to the Su
preme Court of the United States as
soon as possible, according to the
statement made here to-day by Cyrus
H. McCormlck, president of the In
ternational Harvester Company. Mr.
McCormlck said:
"The adverse decision is a great
disappointment. As I understand it,
it is not based on actual wrongs done
in the conduct of the business of the
International Harvester Company,
but upon the elimination of competi
tion more than ten years ago between
the companies whose properties were
purchased by It.
"The opinion acquits the company,
its officers and directors of charges of
over-capitalization and unfair and op
pressive policies and practices.
"It does not sustain the charge
in the petition of the government
but abandoned on the argument that
the company had charged excessive
or unfair prices.
"Aside from its original organiza
tion and the facts connected with its
purchase of competitive plants, the
opinion finds nothing to be condemned
in the history of the company's
growth or in the manner of develop
ing and carrying on its business. The
organization of the company and the
purchase of its plants were acts done
in the belief that no law was being
violated after consultation with coun
sel of honest standing.
"The organization of the company
is condemned by the majority of the
I court as a violation of the Sherman
I act, but the company is not found
guilty of having violated the law in
j the conduct of its business or of hav
ing injured its customers or its cora
-1 petltors.
"The conclusion arrived at seems
to be that the Harvester is a good but
illegal trust. Its business has been
: conducted fairly and the economies
secured by its organization have in
ured to the benefit of its customers,
the farmers, but nevertheless the ma
jority of the judges hold its existence
i is illegal.
"The decision is by a divided court
and the case will not be ended until
the Supreme Court has said the last
: word. We still hope that the great
public benefits secured by the organ
ization of the company and the meth
j ods adopted in carrying on its busi
ness will be made permanent by the
final decision in the court of last re
! sort. It may well be that that court
will hold the view expressed in the
dissenting opinion of Judge Sanborn."
DEPARTMENT BUYS SILVER
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C.. Aug. 12.—The
Treasury Department to-day an
nounced it had bought 1,175,000
1 ounces of silver at 52 cents an ounce,
with the twofold purpose of enabling
both mines and smelters to continue
operations and to take advantage of
low prices caused by the check in the
export movement.
iiHTiFic"
SINCE WAR STARTED
Slump Due to Unsettled Conditions
Now Prevailing on the
Continent
Since Monday of the past week
both branches of railroad traffic on
the Pennsylvania, between New York
and Pittsburgh, have shown a notice
able decrease. According: to Pitts
burgh officials of the country, the
slump is said to be due to the un
settled conditions now prevailing in
Europe.
Diametrically different conditions
obtained prior to last week, the month
iof July having witnessed a distinct
increase in both travel and tonnage
and the carriers were greatly encour
aged in consequence. During the past
week, however, an Increasing tourist
movement which was a feature of the
present summer dropped off and it is
said that local travel decreased below
normal.
Within the past week, the Pennsy
experienced one redeeming feature—
excursionists to Atlantic City and oth
er resorts. Regular trains carried
many people to the shore and several
special trains carried scores to the
Atlantic coast cities. From Pittsburgh
alone thirty-five day coaches filled
with excursionists, as well as thirty
chair car loads and thirty sleeping
car loads, were sent east last Thurs
day.
There has been no such compensa
tion in respect of the freight move
ment thus i"ar, although shippers and
transportation interests in the Smoky
City infer that the existing stagna
tion will be of brief duration and that
business will revive as suddenly as it
declined.
Central Dlvlnlnn. As a result
of the lease of the Northern Central
Railway by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, effective Aue-ust 1, 1914, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
assumed the operation of all lines of
railroad formerly operated by the
Northern Central Railway Company.
The Erie Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the Northern
Central Railway have been consolidat
ed under the name of Central Division
—Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
I'ntil further notice the subdivisions
and branch roads included under the
Erie Division of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company and the Northern Cen
tral Railway will continue to be op
erated as subdivisions and branch
roads of the Central Division—Penn
sylvania Railroad Company.
Effective August 1. 1914, the name of
the Central Division was changed to
Media Division.
More Pay For Rallroadn. The
House at Washington, yesterdav, pass
ed on a viva voce vote the Moon bill,
providing for the readjustment of rail
way mail pay. under which it is esti
mated that the railroads will receive
about $2,000,000 annually in addition to
the amount now received for trans
porting the mails.
The Cullop amendment to the bill,
providing that postmasters might ap
point their assistants without regard
to the civil service rules, was defpated
163 to 81.

Agreement Reached
An agreement was reached late |
yesterday between the government!
and the New York, New Haven sys-1
tem.
The statement issued after the di- j

"A meeting of the board of direc-1
tors of the New York, New Haven and !
Hartford Railroad Company was held
this afternoon at the Grand Central j
Terminal. After the meeting Presi
dent Hustis said that In pursuance I
of the hope expressed in his statement j

ment had been reached, which is sub
stantially a renewal of the original j
agreements between the Attorney j
General and the company in all re- !
spects except as to the Boston and '
Maine stock, and is in accordance 1
with the vote of the stockholders at i

"President Hustis said in conclusion
that this arrangement having been!
accepted by the Attorney General, had

the members of the board highly ap
preciated the courtesy of the Attorney

out Inflicting unnecessary loss upon

Kaiser Tried For Peace,
Declares Correspondent
Lohdon. Aug. 12.—Robert Crozier
Long, a war correspondent, and one
of the last Americans to leave Berlin,
declared to-day that it was Austria's
actions, not those of Germany, which
plunged Europe into warfare. He
said:
"The causes of the war, apart from
the traditional race hatred, were two.
For neither of these was Kaiser Wil
helm responsible. The first cause was
the incredible folly of the Austrian
foreign minister. Count Berchtold, in
refusing to negotiate with Russia di
rect after July 29, and after Russia
had mobilized the districts of Odessa,
Kieff. Moscow and Kazan. All these
districts were mobilized against Aus
tria.
"It was at this nolnt thaf the Ger
man chancellor. Yon Bethmann-Holl
weg. who wanted peace in Europe, i
sent a threat to Austria that if it did
not alter Its stand toward Russia he
would tear up the triple alliance ne
gotiations. I saw a copy of the chan
cellor's threat.
"Kaiser Wilhelm hacked up the
chancellor. He wanted peace and did
everything possible to bring about
peace, but despite the pleas of Baron
von Moltke. his chief of staff, the
kaiser delayed issuing the mobilization
order until the very last moment."
Shaw Accuses England
of Having Forced War
London, Aug. 12.—George Bernard
Shaw writes in the Daily News:
"Now that we are at war. it is well
that we should know what the war is
about. To begin with, we were not at
war because Germany made an in
famous proposal that we should allow
her to violate Belgian neutrality. If
it had suited us to accept that pro
posal. we could have found plenty of
reasons for accepting it; advocates of
our own neutrality have found some
of them already, no more infamous
than the diplomatic reasons we have
given in the past for courses which
happened to be convenient to us. Let
us therefore, drop it.
"Our national trick of virtuous in
dignation is tiresome enough in peace
ful party strife at home; in war it is
ungallant and unpardonable. Let us
take our pugnacity to the field and
leave our hypocrisy and our bad blood
at home; they weaken a heroic fighter
and enourage only blackguards. This
war is a balance of power war and
nothing else, and the fact that we all
have to face is that if our side is vic
torious the result will be an overbal
ance of power in favor of Russia, far
more dangerous to all the other com
batants than the one we are fighting
to redress."

British Are Believed
to Be Rulers of North
Sea; French Move Back
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 12. 3.10 A. M.—Two
salient points emerge from the latest
news of the great war. The first and
most striking is what ts described here
as "the silent victory." This applies
to the fact that the North Sea. over
which almost absolute silence has
brooded so long, is now open eo ship
ping without serious danger.
This fact, in the opinion of the
authorities here, implies that the Ger
man fleet for the tune being is safely
held in check.
The second point is that the French
have been obliged to evacuate Muel
hausen and occupy new positions out
side the town.
According to German reports, this
was the first important battle of the
campaign and the French, who had
55,000 men. suffered a serious check.
In Belgium the positions show little
change. A great battle is expected
somewhere on the line between Thion
ville and Liege between the Germans,
the French and Belgians. It is thought
probable it will occur within a few
days.
The Germans have occupied Tongres
and are reported to have captured
a railway station twenty-four miles
from Liege. Outpost affairs of no
great importance are reported at nu
merous frontier points of the many
nations engaged in tlie war, but except
in Belgium no great battle is likely for
some time to come, as the respective
armies are still engaged behind these
covering actions in the work of con
centration on the frontiers.
In the naval sphere there is no news
except a report that the elusive Ger
man cruisers Goeben and Bresluu have
reached the Dardanelles, where, in
accordance with international law.
they will be dismantled and interned
until the war is ended. Should this
news be confirmed, it will be a great
step toward the safety of British and
French shipping in the Mediterranean.
In the political sphere are two in
teresting items. According to the Co
longe Gazette. Rumania has ioined the
triple alliance and will invade Servia.
It is reported from Cettiaje that the
Servian and Montenegrin arms have
effected adjunction at Plevljye (Tash
lija), 137 miles from Novibazara,
where they are awaiting the result of
thi revolutionary propaganda in Bos
nia. which, they hope, will facilitate
their occupation of that country.
Canada Will S
22,000 Week
Special to The Telegraph
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 12.—Within a
week. Colonel Samuel Hughes, minis
ter of militia, hopes to have most
of the 22,000 men of the Canadian
contingent which will go to war -in the
way to Valcartlen, Quebec, the mo
bilizing center. Three regiments are
already on the way. They are the
Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, the
Rolay Canadian Dragoons and the
Strathcona Horse. It has not been de
cided whether or not these units will
go to the seat of the war. Recruiting
will close for the over-sea contingent
Wednesday night, and from the list of
names sent into the militia depart
ment, the 22,000 men required will be
picked without delay and will be rush
ed to the mobilizing center.
King George has notified thf gov
ernment here that he will be pleased
to accept a full division of 22,000 men
from Canada to fight with British
troops. In addition to this division,
tie regiment being raised and equip
ped by Hamilton Gault, of Montreal,
will go to the front.
Several of the best-known firms In
Canada have notified Colonel Hughes
that they will pay their employes who
go with the Canadian contingent while
they are away, or will give their pay
to dependent relatives. A movement
is on foot to raise a fund by subscrip
tion to pay all those volunteers who
go to war who will not receive wages
while away.

How to Absorb an
Unlovely Complexion
'
< Phyllis Moore in Town Talk)
The face which is admired for its
beauty must have a satin-smooth skin,
pink and white and youthful looking.
The only thing I know of that can
make such a complexion out of an
aged, faded, or discolored one—l mean
a natural, not a painted, complexion—
is ordinary mercollzed wax. This re
markable substance literally absorbs
the unsightly cuticle, a little each day,
the dear, healthy, girlish skin beneath
gradually peeping out until within a
week or so It is wholly in evidence.
Of course such blemishes as freckles,
moth patches, liver spots, blotches »nd
pimples are discarded with the old
skin. If you will nrocure an ounce of
mercollzed wax at the druer store, use
like cold cream every night, washing
this off mornings, you'll find it a ver
itable wonder-worker.
Another valuable natural treatment
is a wash lotion to remove wrinkles
which can be easily prepared. Dissolve
1 oz. powdered saxollte In V, pt. witch

Negotiations Regarding
Shipping Made Public
London, Aug. 12.—The Gazette to
day publishes the details of the nego
tiations between Kngland and Ger
many regarding the status of their
merchant shipping in ports of the
enemy.
A dispatch from Berlin received
here yesterday said that the German
and Britsh governments had requested
the American Embassy in Berlin to
intervene ior the purpose of fixing the
time in which the merchantmen of
the two countries must quite the ports
of the enemy.
From the matter published by the
Gazette it appears that Germany on
August 4 proposed to the British gov
eminent mutual liberation of interned
ships. A reply to the p"oposal within
forty-eight hours was requested.
Apparently no reply was made to
the German communication, but the
British Kovernment. through Ameri
can Ambassador, Walter Mines Page,
made known to Germany the decision
of his government regarding the
treatment of enemy's ships and asking
whether this would meet the views
of Germany.
The negotiations continued through
the intermediary of the American
Ambassadors at Berlin and Stock
holm. but no communication was re
ceived from Berlin and the British
government has no knowledge of the
treatment being accorded to British
ships and cargoes in' German ports.
