PLEA FOR FORD AND DENUNCIATION OF HIM AT TRIAL Mount Clemens. Micty., Aug. 11.? 'We do not claim Henry Ford to be perfect. There was but one perfect man and he lived 1900 years ago. He, too. was crucified. Are you going to ? lay iU:ay b'oru in tne graveyard 01 hL Are you going to brand him a.- an anarchist?" This ws* the climax of an impassioned plea made by Oscar C. Lungerhausen, ^ounsel for Henry Ford, in his argument today before the jury in the Ford-Chicago Tribune millionujllur libel suit which has entered on its 14th week. "Preparedness," he said, "is a promoter of war. Do you "wonder Ford hate.i v.\ . ? I-Ier.ry Ford wanted the people to curb preparedness, and he is called an anarchist because he said the men who could educate politi-j cians was greater than the man who discovered gravitation.

The nature of the precedent established by the president's invitation to the entire membership of the senate foreign relations committee. Republicans and Democrats, was not' fully realized until Mr. Wilson went a step further and not only declared that everything said at the conference could be given to the public, but improved upon the usual method of getting exact information about conferences between residents and members of congress. He stated that he would be glad to have stenographers present. White House officials added that everything said! would be given immediately in full: text to the public through the press, aneha transcript of the proceedings will be published. Thus America at last will \have obtained some of the advantage hitherto claimed for the parliament- | arv crovernments of Europe, where f premiers and prime ministers have V been called before legislatures to | answer questions about domestic and g foreign policy. ? FIRST LOCAL HALE IS i OPENED BY INCUBATOR ! i ? (Commercial Appeal.) I The first 1919 bale of cotton to be I brought to Memphis from the tri states and incidentally the first bale in the world, it is claimed, to be J opened from green bolls by artificial [ heat, is on exhibition at the Memphis Cotton Exchange, having been grown from April planting on the Cotton-! dale (Miss.), plantation, owned by;3 Messrs. Franklin and Green. is The cotton has classed 1 3-16 inch'a staple, the bale weighing 365 pounds. The green bolls, lacking about-q Lhree weeks of maturity, were picked !lj Monday morning at the Cottondale U plantation, beginning at 4.30 a. m. L They were placed on the train at 9 53 o'clock, reached Memphis Monday af- jQ tcrnoon, and were in the hands ox U the Standard Cotton Company of >' America, Front and Keel, at C.30 o'clock. j jj This company recently advertised s in The Commercial Appeal for 5,000 3 lbs. of green bolls.

J through their new process of incuba-ijj tion, which they claim is the first J; actual test made in the world, re- I quired one hour in which to turn out E the dry cotton. They say the loss in ? m moisture is 50 per cent. I According to W. Spence Harvey, | president of the company, the cotton j| has been classed as perfect, as well J as the analysis of the seed. The bale'j j will not be sold, but will be held for' exhibition. ; President Spence states that the' 365 pound bale did not consume the entire 5,000*pounds of green bolls. i Experiments by the company have ! been conducted in Memphis for three years, and the claim is made that the cotton is purer and of stronger fiber. WILSON TO BEGIN CONFERENCES ON LABOR PROBLEM Washington, Aug. 12.?Industrial conferences in which President Wilson will meet representatives of captal and labor for open discussion of jconomic problems will be held at ;he White House before the high cost )f living problem is disposed of, ac ;oi-ding to plans being made here tolay. The men whom the president will neet will form a sort of unofficial :abinet. The object sought is a free ;xchange of ideas to clarify the atnosphere and eliminate misunderstandings between the workers and he employers; and the development ?f constructive suggestions for bet:-iient of relations between labor md capital. Advocates of the "Plumb plan" for la'Jonalization of the railroads inend to lay it before this industrial onference. This problem will not .ake place, however, until next Octo)er. Backers of the nationalization cheme have called a national confer>;ice to meet here October 6 to conider the Plumb plan and other pro;rams for ultimate disposition of the ines. The plan approved by this onference?which, according to preent indications, will be the nationali ;ation scheme?will then be submited to the industrial conference for liscussion.
