JURY GIVES FORD f;
SUM OF SIX CENTS i 1
Friends of Manufacturer Consider '
Verdict Satisfactory, Says At- . 1
torney Alfred J. Murphy.
Mout Clemens, Mich., Aug. 14.? ]
A jury tonight awarded Henry Ford i1
6 cents damages against the Chicago
TViVmno tnr pallirf*- him an anarch
sit. '
Orvy Kulett, foreman of the jury,
said that they took "nine ballots that ^
I can remember," the first one, according
to Leonard Measel, another
juror, standing eight to four in favor
of warding Mr. Ford some damages.
Attorney Alfred J. Murphy for
Mr. Ford said:
"The important issue is this case
has been determined favorably to
- TT. i i??
the piamtm. ne nas uccn vmui-i
cated.
"Money damages were entirely
subordinate and were not sought by
Mr. Ford. He stands not only vindicated,
but his attitude as an American
citizen has been justified after j
a trial which raised ever issue j
against him which ingenuity and re- j
search could present. His friends
are entirely satisfied."
Weymouth Kirkland of counsel for
the Tribune, said:
"We consider it a victory for the ;
' reason that Attorney Alfred Luck- j
ing, in closing for Mr. Ford, stated
that anything less than substantial,
damages would be a defeat for his!
^ ? ?
cneni."
The jury was out ten hours.
Offending Editorial.
It was on June 23, 1916, after j
Mexican bandits had raided Colum- j
bus, N. M., and military prepared-1
ness was a burning issue, not only j
because of the Mexican menace but j
because of the conflagration in j
Europe, that the Chicago Tribune'
printed its famous editorial headed y
s "Ford is an Anarchist."
Editorial writers of the Tribune'
testified that they had followed Mr.
Ford's pacifistic propagan<Ja, but
had not recognized it as a real dan
? ~ nntil Q nonra l'tAm
ger tu uic tuuuwjf uu?u m A>vnw j
was received from Detroit that Mr.
Ford was trying to discourage the
recruiting of the guard which had
been ordered to the Rio Grande. The
item, authenticity of which was denied
by Ford witnesses, stated that
the Ford Company would not pay the
salaries of employees who went to
the border, hold their places for
them nor care for their dependents.
It was then that the editorial was
written. It called Mr. Ford an "ignorant
idealist" and remarked that |

different if his factories were on the
Rio Grande instead of the peaceful
Canadian border.
Counsel for the manufacturer at
first filed suit in the federal court at1
Chicago, but later withdrew it and !
instituted proceedings in the State j
court at Detroit. Here the Tribune j
appealed for a change of venue and !
Judge James G. Tucker of the cir- j
cuit court of Macomb county at Mt. j
^ Clemens, was agreed upon to hear
the case. Selection of a jury began
May 12. It consisted of eleven farmers
and one road builder.
A feature of the case was the production
by the defendant of more j
than 20 witnesses from the Mexican j
border to testify to ra:dc, murd3r3
end oth?r acts which, to the mind of!
the Tribune counsel, established the
fact that there was a condition of an- !
archy along the border.
Professor Reeves of the University I
of Michigan, appearing as an expert, j
testified that many of the Ford ut- j
terances corresponded with the.
teachings of well recognized anarchists.
He gave definitions of the
word "anarchist" which contained no
reference to bomb throwing, but
which denoted one who works to
overturn the government.
Counsel for the defendant argued;
that government exists only so far >
as it can enforce its decrees and!
i j
* protect the lives and property of its;
citizens, that without force there can;
be no government and that where i
there is no government there is anX
archy.
f Therefore, they sought to estab- j
Iish that in opposing the recruiting ,
of soldiers, Mr. Ford opposed gov- j
ernment itself and, by the same J
token, sought to establish anarchy. !

said. The defense throughout was j
one of justification and the right of
fair comment.
Bishop Testifies (or Ford.
Bishop Charles D. Williams, Episcopal
bishop of Eastern Michigan,
wis one of the principal witnesses
for the plaintiffs. Many of Mr.
Ford's utterances which the defendant
had called anarchistic, he said,
"Rat-Snap Beats the Best Trap Ever ;
Made." Mrs. Emilv Shaw Says.
"My husband bought $2.00 trap. I j
bought a 50c box of RAT-SNAP. The
trap only caught 3 rats but RAT-,
SNAP killed 12 in a week. I'm never J
without RAT-SNAP. Reckon I j
couldn't raise chicks without it." |
RAT-SNAP comes in cakes. Three!
sizes, 25c, 50c, $1.00. Sold and j
guaranteed by Newberry Hardware
Co., and Gilder & Weeks Co. !
also were to be found in the scrip- I
tures and in the writings of nonanarchistic
philosophers. As to the I
Ford propaganda, he drew the distinction
that man might mistakenly
advocate policies which would result
in anarchy, without himself being
an anarchist. If his object was ^
to establish anarchy, then he could i
be characterized as an anarchist. Mr. ]
Ford's object, it was stated, was to j 1
establish universal peace. :
Counsel for Mr. Ford attempted '
to prove that the editorial was writ- 1
ten in malice?specific malice?as j
well as the malice assumed in the ,
mere publication of the editorial. To this
end they charged that The Trib- i
une was pro-German and that its ad- i
vocacy of the intervention in Mexico <
was a mask to hide friendship to
Germany. The theory advance was
that by intervention American muni- [
tions would be diverted from the en- ,
emies of Germany.
Mr. Ford did not accept the defini- j
tions of anarchy given by Professor j
~ -r"r 11? ~ ?.-4.?? i
Keeves. lie, personally us> a witness, j
and by other means, insisted that by j
anarchist The Tribune meant the old j
fashioned bomb thrower of the Hay-1
market Square variety. That, his lawyers
asserted, was the impression
that Tribune readers would get from
the editorial.
The hearing was one of the longest
on record, according to counsel, j

SEES NO SHORTAGE
OF CARS FOR COAL j
Hines Says Congress Should Consider
Some Action to Protect Peo- i
pie Against High Prices.
I
Washington, Aug- 15.?Replying j
to a senate resolution, Director Gen-1
eral of Railroads Hines informed the <
senate today that while there had
been some car shortages in the bituminous
coal districts, he did not^
"anticipate any shortages in transportation
which will be in any sense
exceptional or abnormal, or which
will justify oppressive prices for
coal."
"The great denger that confronts
the public in this matter," the direcrinna?ol
n coanfor) "l'c f V? a t flTlV
vVl auuvi. VV/U; AM vamwv ? J J
shortage, either in production by the |
mines or in transportation, may be |
exaggerated so as to serve as a pretext
for heavy increases in the coal
prices, which, in my opinion, are already
high, generally speaking. It is !
worthy of serious consideration |
whether congressional action can be j
taken to protect the public under i
these circumstances from excessive!
coal prices."
-L -L ~ I
ine senate resolution, to which
Mr. Hines replied, was introduced by;
Senator Pomerene, Ohio, and asked!
specifically for information as to the i
number of coal cars available and
whether the coal car situation could
be held responsible for any possible
shortage of coal.
"There has at no time been any
shortage of cars for anthracite coal
loading/' Mr. Hines said in reply.
"Since about July 15, 1919, coinci-j
dent with a marked upward trend in;
production, there have been some j
shortages of cars for loading with j
bituminous coal in some prouacing j
districts mainly in Eastern Kentucky, j
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland |
and Pennsylvania, and usually in dis-1
tricts producing the higher grades of j
coal. A strike of marine workers on
coastwise ships, floods and other operating
difficulties have contributed
to these shortages. Contemporaneously,
however, there still exist slight
surpluses of open top cars in some
sections, principally in the West."
Regarding the car supply, Mr.
Hine said there were 1,067,000 open
top cars in the United States, 99 per
cent of which were on federally operated
railroads, while less than 10
* " ' 1 - TT. I
per cent 01 tnese awaited repairs, ne
estimated that about 775,000 cars
were suitable for coal loading. Fiftyfive
thousand new cars, he said, have
been or will be placed in the service
as rapidly as practicable.
OPEN SEASON FOR
DOVES CHANGED
Washington, D. C., Aug. 16?The
open season for hunting mourning
doves in South Carolina has been
- i j. j. i i _ i
changed by an amendment to tne
Migratory Bird Treaty Act regulations,
announces the United States j
Department of Agriculture. The a- j
mendment fixes the period during I
which mourning doves may be killed
in South Carolina from October 16
to January 31, both days inclusive,
whereas the Federal open season
last year was from September 16 to
December 31, inclusive. The new
season beginning October 16 was not
adopted in time to have the correct
J _ i. ? _ J 4-Via Qt-of a linn finer
Uitics nuicu vii nit k/butv ut?i?u6
licenses, which incorrectly show the
season to begin a month earlier. The
Federal law and regulations supersede
all State laws inconsistent there
with, and the State hunting licenses
do not authorize persons to hunt
mourning doves or other migratory
birds in violation of the Federal law.
MARCH'S TWO BIRTHSTONESj31

The month of March has two birthstones.
The one sanctioned by ancienl ,
tradition is the bloodstone. As an al ,

cernare rne aquamarine is Kiveu iu m*
list of birthstones adopted by the National
Jewelers'association. The blood- C
stone is a variety of chalcedony, dull c]
?reen with blood-red spots. It is some- fi
times called heliotrope. The principal i r(
mines are in India, though it is found
In Scotland, Brazil, Uruguay and Australia.
It was supposed in old times
to have therapeutic virtues and was
used especially to cure hemorrhages

of this fancied curative value it was
widely worn cut In the form of a heart 1 w
In Mexico in the days succeeding the ir
conquest by Spaniards and Indians.
The stone is still believed by the su- ~~
perstitious to be an amulet bringing H
good luck. An ancient Egyptian parchment
says: "If anyone have this stone
with him he will be given whatever he
asks for and whatever the wearer says; (
will be believed." j
The aquamarine is a transparent va- ^
rlety of beryl, characteristically of a.
bluish green color. Its name, trans- ^
lated, means "sea water," and it looks;
like the green-blue water of the ocean ;
frozen into a flashing crystal. Large!

Many Glacial Periods.
One often hears of "the glacial;
period'- or "the ice age" of the earth,!
but, strictly speaking, this expression'
is not correct. It is now established}
beyond all reasonable doubt that this;
planet has experienced not one but a!
great many glacial periods. Evidence ^
has been found which proves that the;
latest or Pleistocene glacial epoch, has;
several important subdivisions, and;
that all of Ihe present continents have'
experienced glacial epochs at different
ages. Great ice sheets were formed g
at different periods back to the Pro-J
terozofe age; that is, the age of the
oldest known sedimentary rocks, a |
o-r^nt miinv million vears aso. One;
of the most recent discoveries of the!
old glacial deposits was made by Pro- f
fessor W. W. Atwood, of the United +
i
States geological survey, near Ridg- ^
way, In southwestern Colorado. These j ^
deposits were found beneath tertiary!,
lavas of the San Juan mountains, nnd I
resting upon upper cetaeeoMs ! !s. j1

"Swan" Is Really Goose. q
The Chinese "swan" is not really
6
a swan, but a goose. It has achieved
a vicarious reputation as a swan mere- 0
ly because of an extremely long neck, ^
not properly belonging to a goose, but i*
altogether swanlike. g
The lady swan, instead of pursuing v
the birdlike motherly habit of sitting s
on her eggs in order to transform j,
them from mere eggs into baby swans. g
carefully covers them up with a mound +
of sticks and things. I "
The Chinese swan is known in high- 1
brow circles as a Cygnopsis cygnoides. P
It Is a most peculiar bird with n large
wart on its bill, which is as yellow t
as the royal dragon of China. It has
a disposition as mild as that of the
Chinese nation itself, is giveu to secret
diplomacy, has a large appetite and ^
is extremely loquacious in a swan-!"':?,
restrained, Chinese manner.
