wuz te totally consumed Atlanta Constitu tion Widows in India One of the native rulers of India who was educated in England has is suod a decree permitting the remar riage of widows When it is known that in India there are more than 20 000000 widows many of them chil dren under 10 years of age and that the condition of widowhood is virtual slavery the significance of this decree as an entering wedge in removing one of the curses of India its child wid ows is plainly apparent The Antiseptic Cigar An antiseptic cigar has been pro duced in Prance It is composed of aromatic products and contains no to bacco Abundant smoke is produced without the cigar being lighted which permits persons unable to use tobacco to enjoy the illusion of smoking with out feeling the evil effects One of

five leading harvester manufacturers have probably not been considered by a large portion of the farming community The economical necessity of a con solidation of the interests of manufac turers and those of their farmer cus tomers must De apparent to any one who understands the present situa tion The increased and increasing cost of material manufacturing and sell ing the latter in consequence of ex- treme and bitter competition between manufacturers and their several sell ing agents has made the1 business unprofitable The two alternatives left for the manufacturers were either the in creasing of the prices of machines or the reduction of the cost of manufac ture and sales The latter could onjy be accomplished by concentrating the business in one company As can readily be seen the forming of the new company was not a stock jobbing operation but a centering of mutual interests There is no watered stock the capitalization is con servative and represented by actual and tangible assets There is no stock offered to the public it having all been subscribed and paid for by the manufacturers and their associ ates The management of the Interna tional Harvester Company is in the hands of well known experienced men The officers are President Cyrua H McCormick Chairman Executive Committee Charles Deering Chair man Finance Committee George W Perkins Vice Presidents Harold P McCormick James Deering Wm H Jones and John J Glessner Secre tary and Treasurer Richard F Howe The members of the Board of Direct ors are as follows Cyrus Bentley William Deering Charles Deering James Deering Eldridge M Fowler E H Gary John J Glessner HIchard F Howe Abram M Hyatt William H Jones Cyrus H McCormick Harold F McCormick George W Perkins Norman B Ream Leslie N Ward Paul D Cravath The International Harvester Com pany owns five of the largest harves ter plants in existence The Cham pion Deering McCormick Milwaukee and Piano plants that have been producing nearly or quite 90 per cent of the harvesting machines of the world It also owns timber and coal lands blast furnaces and a steel plant it has a new factory in the process of construction in Canada It is believed that the cost of pro ducing grain grass and corn harvest ing machines will be so reduced that the present low prices can be con tinued and that consequently the re sults cannot be otherwise than bene ficial to the farmer To maintain the present prices of these machines means to continue and increase the development of the agriculture of the world for no one cause has contribut ed or can contribute more to this de velopment than the cheapness of machines for harvesting grains MAY STAY IN JAIL JUDGE REFUSES NEVITT AND PO DEN HABEAS CORPUS THEY CANNOT BE PARDONED Judge Sanborn Sustains the Course of Judge Phillips in the St Clair Coun ty Bond Controversy and Mandamus Procedure ST PAUL Minn Aug 2D The United States court of appeals in an opinion by Judge Sanborn today de nied the application for writ of ha beas corpus or other relief in the cases of Thomas C Poden judges of the county court of St Clair county Missouri and sustains the right of a federal judge to imprison judges of county courts for contempt in refusing to carry out the mandates of a judg ment issued by him This case the like of which it Is said has not come before the courts since the early and unsettled days of the republic dates back to a period shortly after the close of the civil war St Clair county in aid of the construction of a railroad issued a large amount of bonds and when these became due the county sought to evade payment and to have the courts invalidate them The judgment against the county aggregating more than 200000 however were issued in the United States court The county fought on adopting every legal device to defeat the enforcement of the judgment and the case has been in the courts in some form until about two years ago when United States Judge Phillips at the instance of one of the judgment creditors issued a writ of mandamus directing the coun ty to levy a tax for the partial pay ment of the indebtedness The judges refused to obey the mandate holding that the bonds had been ille gally issued Then came tne order of arrest and commitment for contempt of court The judges evaded the federal court officers who sought to serve the writs on commitment hiding in the woods and other places Meanwhile the county courts were not held criminals were untried civil cases could not he heard the county roads and bridges fell into decay and other business commonly transacted by the county court was wholly neglected Recently however the marshalB discovered the hiding places of the fugitive judges and arrested them Their counsel petitioned the court of appeals for their release on bail and for an order staying proceedings un- j til an application could be made to President Roosevelt for a pardon In denying their application Judge Sanborn declines to enter into the merits of the original controversy as to the legality of the bonds and holds that a writ of habeas corpus cannot be made to perform the office of a writ of error as it is available only when a prisoner is illegally restrained by a court without power to make an order for contempt BATTLE IS IMMINENT President Castro Goes Out Looking for Trouble WILLEMSTAD Island of Curacoa Aug 29 A battle between the army
