Wide avenues of interest in Aaron Sapiro's $1,000.-; 000 libel suit against Henry Ford! converged Sunday night upon the motor manufacturer's possible ap pearance this week as a witness. About Friday was the best guoss of counsel Sunday night as to when Ford, central figure In American in dustrial life, would take the witness stand for the second time in his life. Eight years ago he sued the Chicago Tribune and secured a verdict of 6 cents for libel. Ahead of Ford In the witness chair will be F. D. Black, business manager of the Dearborn Independent, pos sibly Spiro himself, and W. J. Cam eron, Ford's editor, who was on the stand when court adjourned Friday. It was the Ford-owned Independent which in 1924 and 1925 printed a series of articles which led to the suit. Sapiro Asks Million. Sapiro, a Chicago attorney at law, who admittedly never plowed a fur row or hoed a row of corn, claimed that his reputation as an organizer of farmers' co-operative organiza tions was damaged to the extent of $1,000,000. Sapiro was accused in the articles of connection with an internation Jawish conspiracy to control agricul ture, of seeking to spread commun ism and the principles of "red" Rus sia and of exploiting the American farmer to the extent of nearly $1, 000,000 in fees. Several nationally known figures mentioned by the Independent in con nection with the alleged conspiracy to control agriculture, will not be called as witnesses,' C. B. Longley of defense counsel announced Sunday night. They are: Bernard Baruch, member of the ward industries board under the late President Woodrow Wilson; Albert D. Lasker, former chairman of the United States ship ping board; Eugene Meyer, jr., for mer managing director of the War Finance corporation, and Robert W. Bingham, publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Louisville Times. Testimony Halted.

Reihart, 70, veteri nary surgeon, 1302 South Twenty seventh street, Omaha, died suddenly at a local hospital Sunday morning after a heart attack. Dr. Reihart was an old-timer In South Omaha, having come there in 1889 from Cass county in a covered wagon. He was a lover of animals and especially horses and in the days of the horse and buggy his horses were attractions on the South Side.

Reihart. is also a veterinary surgeon. Funeral services will be held at The amount was left to the tax board's discretion with the simple ad monition that it be "sufficient" to pay the debt.
