HARVESTERJDUSTER SUIT
Osborne Binder Sold as "Independent"
After Absorption by Trust.
St. Louis, Sept 30. That the Os
borne binder was sold as an ".inde
pendent" machine until 1905, although
the company manufacturing it baa
been absorbed by the International
Harvester company of New Jersey in
1903, was i the testimony here of L.
Grannemann of New Haven, Mo., a
former agent of the big corporation,
and summoned by it as a witness for
the defense in the suit of the state to
oust the company from Missouri. for
alleged violation of the antitrust
laws.
Mr. Grannemann did not explain
why this course was adopted with the
Osborne machine. It is the contention
of the state, however, that after the
formation of the New Jersey company
some of the subsidiary plants posed
as "independent" in order to sell
goods to people who were prejudiced
against large corporations.
The proceedings were before Judge
Theodore Brace, special commissioner
of the Missouri supreme court for the
taking of testimony in the suit. All
witnesses were called by the defepse,
the state having rested its case sev
eral weeks ago, and were agents or
former agents for the company.
The agent witnesses testified gem
erally that the Increase in the prices
of binders and mowers had been much
less than for other farm machinery. .

COiiJi: FOR AERDS
Auto and Aviation Park on Jersey
Meadows. .''
WILL COST OVER $2,000,000.
Aim Is to Make the Establishment the
Center of Aerial Racing and Experi
mentation In This Country How the
Automobile Track, Five Miles Long,
Will Be Built.
Before another year has gone by
New York city will have within fifteen
minutes of its downtown section not
alone the largest and finest automobile
race track in the country, but also a
fully equipped aviation park for the
trying out and racing of aeroplanes
and other air craft. The proposed au
tomobile race track will be five miles
long, and Its estimated cost Is between
$2,500,000 and $3,000,000. The aim will
be to make the park the center of all
aerial races and tests In this country.
A syndicnte, of which P. S. Parish,
president of a realty company. Is the
bead, which Includes Arthur Alexan
der and George Robertson, wlnuer of
the last Vanderbilt cup race, and
Y orthlngton M. Jacobus, a New Jer
sey civil engineer, has obtained an
option on '4(i6 acres of land on the
Ilackensack' meadows, lying between
the Newark plank road and the Peun
sylvnnla railroad tracks, on which It
Is proposed to build the park. - A nuni
ber of well known automobile munu
facturers are also interested In the
project, their interests being looked
after by Messrs. Robertson and Alex
ander. 1 '
The land is at present' only partly
developed; but, according lo the terms
of the option, the selling company
agrees to fill In and Improve the prop
erty. Mr. Jacobus has drawn the
plans of the tract, every bit of which
will be within the view of the spec
tators in the grand stand. The latter
will be a huge structure, capable of
sentlng close to 100,000 persons. He
has also .completed plans for conven
iences required by the experimenters
and racers with airships. The track
Itself will be built from the sugges
tions of Robertson and will consist of
an oval shaped two mile course for
speed racing, surrounded by a three
mile course which, with the former
will be used for road racing. On the
outer track, directly opposite the grand
stand, -will be a series of bills and
curves, Including a hairpin turn, on
which It Is expected a thorough test
of the cars In the races will be had.
One of the proposed hills will be 120
feet high, with a 12 to 18 per cent
grade.
Coming Into the straight, the course
will be slightly downward, and It Is
expected that a speed of 100 mUes an
hour will be attained by the racing
cars. Several plans for the safety of
both the spectators and the drivers
are also under consideration, the one
meeting the most favor and the most
likely to be adopted being tho build
ing of the track a foot or two below
the surrounding ground, the latter to
be banked with thick layers of soft
sand, so that If a car should suddenly,
because of some accident to the steer
ing gear, swerve from the track It
would quickly be brought to a stop
without Injury to the driver or the
spectators who might be near by.
Plans for financing the project are
well under way, a number of well
known automobile manufacturers hav
Ing pledged large sums of money for
the purpose.

Mouse Trimmed Hat the Latest.
If there any longer exists any doubt

GRANT SEES DICKINSON
Defends His Action in Appearing in
Uniform in Chicago Parade.
Washington, Sept. 30. General
Frederick D. Grant, commanding the
Department of the Lakes, and Secre
tary of War Dickinson discussed In
formally at the war department the
criticism which has been directed at
the former because he appeared In
the uniform of his rank at the head
of a so called temperance parade In
Chicago last Saturday. Just what
passed between the two men was not
disclosed.
Earlier in the day General Grant
had justified his action In appearing
In the parade on the ground that It
was a demonstration in favor of good
government and was not a temper
ance parade.
Innsmuch as no orders were Irsued
to General Giant to march In the pa
rade, Secretary Dickinson holds the
opinion that the former's presence
therein cannot be regarded as an offl
clal action or as giving the govern
ment's stamp of approval to the ob
lect of the demonstration.
While General Grant is a total ab
stainer, he Is an ardent advocate ol
the canteen at army posts.

Garry Out Roosevelt Policies.
DECLARES IT IS UP TO G ONGRES
Chief Executive Urges Immediate Re
lief for Settlers in Arid Lands Wil
Recommend $10,000,000 Bond Issui
to Complete Great Irrigation Proj
ects Upon Which Work Has Best
Suspended Because of Lack of Funds
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 29. Presi
dent Taft delivered here his lone an
tlclpated speech on the conservatiot
of natural resources and outlined the
policy of his administration on thit
subject of supreme importance to al.
the west. .
Mr. Taft broadly took the stand thai
while the present administration is
pledged to follow out the policies ol
Mr. Roosevelt, such a pledge does not
Involve him in any obligation to carrj
out those policies without congres
sional ' authorization. The president
added, however, thtt be would take
every step and exert every Influence
upon, congress to enact legislation
which shall - best subserve the nur
poses' and requirements of the sltua
tlon. . - .
. Will Urge Bond Issue.
President Taft created much enthu
slasra when he announced ..that he
would urge upon congress the neces
sity of authorizing the secretary ol
the interior to Issue $10,000,000 bonds
for the completion of irrigation nroi
ects In the west upon which work has
been suspended because of lack ol
funds and the discovery that the
projectors, In their enthusiasm, - did
not closely observe the limitations of
the reclamation act. Hardships have
been worked upon many settlers
through the suspension of work, and
Senator Borah of Idaho and other
western senators and representatives
have urged upon the president that
a bond Issue was the only way by
which Justice could be done.
Mr. Taft declared congress did' not
Intend that the government should
undertake projects which could not ne
currently paid for out of the proceeds
or the sales of public lands, but added
that he has been Impressed durine his
visit to the west of the necessity for
immediate relief.
It was here In Spokane a little while
ago that the National Irrigation con
grcrs met and the BaTlinger-Pinchot
controversy arose. Secretary Ball In
ncr was criticised for having recom
mended and secured the remen.tog for
entry or lands containing wter nower
sites which had been withdrawn by
Mr. Roosevelt. It was asserted that a
"water power trust" haj been formed
to take up all of these lands and that
the strong conservation policy begun
by Mr. Pinchot, with- the support oi
Mr. Roosevelt, had practically been
abandoned. .
President Taft gave credit both to
Mr. Pinchot and to Mr. Balllnger. He
rererrea to the wonderful work of Mr.
Pinchot and said that while that
work had brought denunciation at
first, It was now generally reali7'
that the reforms Inaugurated by Mr.
Pinchot were not only necessary, but
should have been begun ten years ago.
Defends Reopening of Lands.
The president defended the reopen
ing of lands by the present administra
tion as a compliance with existina
laws, and declared Mr. Ballinger's
views are in strict accord with those
of the administration, and that he has
been helpful and will use his powerful
influence as secretary of the Interior
to support the president In securing
congressional action that will put the
Roosevelt policy of conservation on a
firmer basis. Mr. Taft stated that the
4,700,000 acres of water power lands
withdrawn from the general entry by
the last administration has been re
duced' to 450,000 acres under the pres
ent administration. The latter num
ber, however, he pointed out, contain
more accertalned power sites than did
the original withdrawals.
The president further stated it must
be understood that these withdrawals
are only temporary, to permit con
gress to act upon a recommendation
he will make that the government be
authorized to grant or lease power
sites to private concerns, to be devel
oped' under general government con-
trol and supervision. If congress fails
to act upon this recommendation, the
president says he knows of no war In
which the withdrawn lands can much
longer be withheld from cfriims filed
under the general land laws.
Mr. Taft opposed the sueirestlon
that settlers should be allowed longer
than ten years In which to renay the
government for water Becured through
governmental Irrigation projects. Ha
Bays a longer term would not conduce
to thrift and' would domy work on
additional projects which should be
undertaken.
