ATTORNEY GALLS
EXAMINATION
OF FORDJRUTAL
Millionaire Completes First
Week on Stand Defend
: ant Shows No Sign of
Conclusion.
Mount Clemens, Mich., July 18.
Although Henry Ford Friday com-r
pleted a week on the witness stand
in his libel suit against the Chicago
Daily Tribune, Elliott G. Stevenson.
; for the defendant, who began ques
tioning' him last Monday, showed no
Signs of reaching a conclusion,
f; Tfte examination of the witness on
the contents of the alleged libelous
editorial in the Tribune on June 23,
1916, headed "Ford is an Anarchist,"
was the important feature of the day.
While Mr. Stevenson was reading
the editorial and asking questions
about its points, Mir. Ford said:
"I will give you a little explana
tion of the way I feel. I, myself
very seldom read anything else ex
cept the headlines of any article.
That is one of the objects of this
case, to try and have people stick to
the truth a little more behind their
headlines."
"I have asked you a number of
. questions, and I don't want to press
you as to whether you are a well
informed man, competent to edu
cate the public or an ignorant man,
who ought not to undertake to edu
cate the people, but in view of what
you have said, you would not ques
tion that 'ignorant' is a proper
characterization of you?" said Mr.
Stevenson.
Alfred Lucking, senior counsel
for the plaintiff, jumped to his feet
and said:
, "That is objected to as brutal and
inhuman."
, Mr. Ford ignored this and re
marked: "As I said, Mr. Stevenson, I am ig
norant of most things."
In one comment on the editorial
Mr. Ford said he considered the
whole article as bad. When Mr.
Stevenson made the statement "that
he takes the men who stand between
him and service and punishes them
for the service which protects him,"
Mr. Ford said that it was not true.
' "Do you claim that you did not
discourage men from military ser
vice?" : "Yes, sir."
; "But you boasted that as a re
sult of your anti-preparedness ef
forts only 10 of your 20,000 em
ployes attended a militia encamp
ment?" 'But I didn't know about that.
It was in the Delavigne booklet. I
hired him to be my expert on those
-.Vthinoft and told him to state only
facts. I assumed that he carried out
instructions. I have no personal
recollection of such a boast.

Citizens Protest
Locating Garbage
Dump at De - Bolt
About 100 physicians and citizens
of northwest Omaha met last night
at the DeBolt club and took mea
sures to stop the establishment of
a garbage dump proposed by the
city commissioners. "
It was pointed out that the
place chosen for this dump
ing ground, instead of being, near
the river where there would be
no danger of infection, is on
one of the high spots of the
county. From here it was declared
hundreds of tons of decayed mat
ter must drain for five miles and
then go into the river directly above
the point where lie the intake pipes
that supply water to the huge pump
ing station at Florence.
It was suggested as logical, that
the city should settle this garbage
dump in the restricted district where
territory has already been set off
for fertilizer and rendering plants,
instead of menacing the city's
drinking water.
Murphy's Condition

proved, although his condition was
still serious. Prospects for his re
covery are favorable.
Murphy's only visitor, under
orders of the attending physician, is
his wife. Her encouragement has
urged him to fight gamely for the
fife that is hanging in uncertainty.

Peters Throws Scare.
The Peters-Reynolds bout was
different, however. Despite the fact
that Reynolds came in from the
morning's play with 5 holes up on
his supposed formidable opponent,
the crowd smelled a hot one and
proceeded to follow in the wake of
the duet. At the 12th hole things
began to get a bit unsteady fo;r the
former champion. He missed fire on
putts repeatedly.
At the 27th hole he was leading
but 2 holes up and 9 to go. A
wicked drive at the 28th hole made
Peters appeared in the same mood
for he, too, lacked sure aim with the
mid-iron. The hole was divided, but
on the next Reynolds drove wide to
the left into the rough. He lost this
hole, his card registering 1 up.
The match see-sawed to a finish.

OMAHA WOMAN
ASKING SHARE
OF BIGjSTATE
Charges Administrator With
Fraud and False Pretense;
Property Valued at
$100,000 Involved.
Los Angeles, Cal., July 18.
(Special Telegram.) Judge Ben
jamin F. Bledsow, sitting in the
United States district court here,
today began the hearing of the case
of Mrs. Johanna Schutt, 1822 North
Twenty-second street. Omaha, Neb.,
and Mrs. Louisa Pickens of Topeka,
Kan., against M. T. Campbell of To
peka, administrator of the estate of
the late Ferdinand Fensky, brother
of the Mrs. Schutt and Fickens, and
the late Mrs. Jeanette Fensky,
charging Campbell with fraud and
false pretense.
According to the plaintiffs, the
late Ferdinand Fensky in his will
left his estate of mor? than $100,000
to his seven brothers and sisters
with the understanding that the
property was to be equally divided.
The plaintiffs allege that they
were each given $1,000 out of the
estate and that they signed waivers
quitting all claims against the estate.
Later they say they discovered that
there late brother's holdings of rich
Kansas and California land was
worth far more than the adminis
trator originally had told them.
Campbell, it is said, acted as repre
sentative of Mrs. Fensky in Kansas
during her term as administratrix of
her husband's estate, and, after her
death, he was appointed adminis
trator of her estate in Kansas.
The plaintiffs now ask that the
deeds be set aside on the grounds
that they were obtained by misrep
resentation and fraud. The peti
tioners further state that Mrs.
Fensky was an invalid and misled
by incorrect statements, said to
have been made fln the part of
Campbell.
Ferdinand Fensky died at Los
Angles Harbor, San Pedro, on
August 7, 1903. The will contest,
which was begun in 1908 in the
Kansas courts, has only recently
been transferred to the jurisdiction
of the Los Angeles court.

treaty, but Mr. Hitchcock said he did
not believe reports that the president
would be willing to .accept such res
ervations provided they did not
vitiate the treaty provisions.
"We shall continue our right," said
the administration leader "for rati
fication of the treay without a single
change."
Fall Starts Flurry.
The senate worked most of the
day on the sundry civil appropria
tion bill, but issues of the treaty
fight were brought to the" surface
during the session by Senator Fall,
republican, New Mexico, who of
fered an amendment interpreted by
administration senators as propos
ing to declare a status of peace with
Germany. There was a brief debate
and then the reference 'to a peace
status went out on a point of order.
The flurry resulted in a quorum
call, however, and helped break up
a meeting at which the foreign re
lations committee had planned to
continue its preliminary reading of
the treaty text. Despairing of con
cluding the reading this week, the
committee decided to adjourn until
Monday. The senate also adjourned
to Monday, when debate on the
treaty will be resumed.
At conference with republican
senators today, President Wilson
is understood to have taken a definite
stand against entering the league of
nations with any idea of withdraw
ing as soon as the immediate issues
of the war have been finally settled.
He also is said to have re-emphasized
his conviction that article 10
of the league covenant must not be
weakened if the league is to accom
publish its purposes. v
