SUIT AGAINST REAPER TRUST
Rodney B. Swift, a Stockholder, Files a
Bill for an Aoconntinr.
WANTS VOTING TRUST SET ASIDE
Complaint Alleges that Company Ac
cepted Illegal Rebates from
Railroads Amoantlasr to
Five Mlllloaa.
CHICAGO, July 11. Another attack was
made this afternoon upon the Interna
tional Harvester company by Rodney B.
Swift, formerly head of the experimental
department of the McCormlck branch of
the harvester company. Swift's connec
tion with the company was severed several
months ago and suit commenced against
him by the officials of the company, who
alleged that he-had defrauded them In the
sale of a patent In his bill died this after
noon. Swift, aa a stockholder, demands an
accounting from the company and demands
that the court force the company to cease
taking rebates from railroad companies
and also compel the company to return to
the railroads moneys, said by Swift to have
been Illegally exacted from the railroads
In the past Swift declares that up to
September 30, 1902, the McCormlck branch
of the harvester company alone forced the
railroads to pay It through rebates and
the operation of the Illinois Northern road
a sum In excess of 33,000,000. t'p to the
same date, the money received in rebates
by the Piano branch of the harvester
company through the agency of the Chi
cago, West Pullman Southern railroad
amounted to 3500,000.
Since September 30, 19"i2, it Is declared
that nine other railroad companies have
been making payments of rebates to the
International Harvear company under
the guise of an alleged division of freight
rates with the Illinois Northern company.
Swift asserts that the alleged illegal re
bates made to the International company
since 1902 amount to more thar 31,000,000.
Details of Organisation.
Swift goes Into the details of the or
ganisation of the International Harvester
company, declaring that shortly after Its
formation an arrangement was made be
tween President Cyrus H. McCormlck,
Charles Deerlng, George W. Perkins and
William C. Lane to the effect that all
the stock of the international company
should be put in the charge of the first
three men as trustees for voting purposes
until 1902. Swift demands that the voting
agreement be terminated by the court. It
Is further declared In the bill that the
business of the International Harvester
company Is of an extremely profitable na
ture. He asserts that harvesting ma
chines can be produced and delivered by
the company for 357. The company re
celves 3 for them from agents, who In
turn, sell them for 3125.
Swift says that all his demands for an
examination of the company's books have
been refused.
It Is further declared that the unlawful
course of the directors of the corporation
has damaged the harvester company to the
extent of $6,000,000, which amotrht Swift
demands that the directors pay to tho
company.
Demands of Injunction.
The injunction demanded by Swift asks
that the court prevent the purchase by
the company of any manufacturing plants
when the purpose ot the purchase Is in
whole or In part the suppression of com
petition; use of any money or property by
the International ; Harvester company for
the defeat, of the enactment of any law
by ' any legislative body In the . United
States or elsewhere, or for corruptly in
fluencing elections, or the work of taxing
bodies; combination with the Plymouth
Cordage company for monopoly of the
binder twine trade of the United States.
No time, has been set for the hearing
of the case In court.

to visit Veneiuela and determine the equity
Of the asphalt company's claims and other
vexed questions. Mr. Calhoun, aside from

he went to Cuba for President McKlnley

brought to Mr. Calhoun he refused to dis
cuss the matter, but did not deny It. From
other sources It Is ascertained, however,
that the matter has been settled and that
an official announcement may be expected
from Washington soon. Mr. Calhoun was
a member of the Interstate Commerce com
mission from 1HB8 to 1900.
Mr. Calhoun Is preparing to leave for
Washington early next week. He has Just
returned to Chicago from Oyster Hav

Eight thousand four hundred and twenty
Ave dollars must bo subscribed to the build
ing fund of the Young Men's Christian as
sociation each day this week In order to
reach the 3100.000 mark set at the beginning
pf the campaign and to secure the 310.000
conditional subscription of Guy C. Barton.
The sum of 312100 wss yet to secure after
35.9 had been pledged Monday.
The Nebraska Telephone company and
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway
company Tuesday put their shoulders to
the wheel and pushed the fund ahead to
the tune of 31,000 each.
This sort of strong co-operation on the
part of the big corporations stimulates the
hopes and efforts of the men soliciting the
money and Increases the belief that when
Saturday night rolls around the J100.OO
will be complete.
The Merchants' National bank Monday
afternoon gave 3500.
Wedncsdny ought to be high day, say tho
hustlers, 'and they are planning to work
early and late and bring In at least 312.000.
If that can be done, they feel the absolute
success of the campaign is assured.
Monday evening a "women's" fund for
the new building was started, when a well
known woman came to a member of one
of the committees soliciting funds and put
her name down for a goodly sum.
Care for Her Boys.
"I have boys,' 'she said, and I have much
Interest In the erection of the new build
ing. Not that my boys will be directly in
terested in'lt; they may not. But whether
they become members of the association or
not, all boys are Interested In each other,
and I should prefer to have my boys as
sociate with those over whom the associa
tion Influence is extended. I want to do
my Bhare for the association and I hope
that thefund I am starting will grow Into
considerable proportions before the end of
the week."
The Incident led to a decision to keep a
separate subscription list for women. At
the end of the week they "Will be given
credit for the amount of money they have
given, just as various-business groups of
men will be' given credit.
A stranger came to the association build
ing Monday night and asked lp do snown
through. After he had seen the place he
pulled out en old tobacco pouch from his
pocket and, taking a dollar from it. handed
it to one of the assistant secretaries, with
the remark:
"I'm a farmer from South Dakota. This
new building you're going to put up Is a
good thing and I want you to take this
dollar for It."
Monday the young men's committee
turned in $1.60. H. A. Stone's committee
is In the lead with 32.6X9 and F. I. Erion s
committee Is second with 32,370.
TIES LAID FW TEN MILES
Progress Is Delnit Made, Says Her, on
Omaha-Lincoln Intraurban
Electric Road.
Peter E. Her says:
"Grading has been completed and ties
are being laid for the lnterurban road ten
miles out of Lincoln. Ralls have been
(hipped and are on the way. I have
positive assurance that a gang of men
will be set to work between here and
Sarpy -City within a month. This is to
follow out the plan of working from both
termini to a central point. Conditions gen
erally regarding the road are satisfactory
and before long I look to see the rate of
construction greatly accelerated."

A well known railroad engineer on tha
U. P., cured of deafness, head noises and
catarrh, says: "I have len troubled with
catarrh of the head and throat, was hnwk
Ing and spitting, nose stopped up, would
take cold easily. I had constant iioIhcs In
my head, which would almost drive me
frantic, my ears would stop up, my' hear
ing whs bad, worse some days than others.
I could see I was rapidly getting deaf. A
friend of mine told me of Dr. Ilranarnan
curing so many, so I went to him; his
new system convinced me he could cure
me, which has been done. I am now free
from head noises, my hearing Is perfect,

recommend Dr. Hranaman to all railroad
