FORD MOTOR co.
PROTECTS BUYERS
All Ford Sales Will Be Backed Up BY
Bonds, Guaranteeing Purchas-
ers Against Selden Suits.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Another chap
ter in the now famous Selden patent
litigation. that has divided the automo-
bile makers of the United States into
the licensed" and unlicensed" camps,
was provided last night by a remark
able statement from Henry Ford, of
the Ford Motor company and leading
factor in the fight against the claims
of the A. L. A. NJ.
History repeats itself" said Mr..
Ford last night. After seven years
the A /. A. NJ has Unexpectedly re-
ceived a lower court decision, and IT
is repeating the advertising campaign
of 1903 IN warning the public not to
buy an unlicensed car. Who has
constituted this divine body the tri-
bunal to judge what car is honest?
One of the A. L. A. NJ. members braved
the charge of treason in his own camp
by recently saying that the Ford cars
had done more for the evolution and
DEVELOPMENT of the motor industry
than any other machine.
"Wiil an A. l.. A. NJ member al
ways continue TO make honest cars
VIII his output be honest If he lapses
in his dues to the A. l.. A. M? And
let me ask the association leaders
Would the Ford car be honest II 1t
Joined the A. L. A. NJ. circle?
at is my honest opinlon-and one
that | have maintained since the It'll
CATION was instituted and promptly re-
sented and fought by me-that the
Selden patent Is a freak among alleged
4 L. rN1 hi
and device. II the Ford company
wished TO adopt the tactics OF the A.
L. A. NJ It could sue its members for
infringement Of many patents it con.
trolls that cover scores Of leading fea.
lures OF automobiles a thousand times
more valuable to the motor car Indus
try than the Selden patent.
"But we are not in the harassing
business-we make a good product, the
| best that our factory can turn out. and
! believe in honest competition In q
| fair field and ask no special privileges
or favors. The courts will not permit
| our customers TO be sued. They need
not worry on that score. But II they
do worry. there are our personal bonds
backed TO the extent OF the capital, ap
proximatoly $4,000 900 in assets. and
the assets of bonding company to Q
similar amount.
"The decision of the lowest federal
court made several months ago is not

that he did not consider II would be

Fishing Schooners Are Breaking To

Saved By Slender Line.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Through
gigantic waves, laden with ice, an /
cut by sleel beating at their dangling
bodies, II men slid along slender
line from wrecked vessels to safety
on the beach at Sandy Hook early to-
day. They formed the crews of two
fishing schooners. the Franklin b.
Nelson and the Libby, which are now
breaking to pieces off the life's saving
station.
While heavy driving snow hid
everything beyond the line OF break

today, a Waterman was attracted by
what he thought a falling star several
hundred yards off shore. He gave II
no thought until a second Star ap-
peared in the same direction. A third
and fourth Star" appeared. Then he
knew they were rockets from ship
in distress.
Life boats were brought out to the
beach, where great waves were pound

cut the faces Of the lifesavers, and
heavy gloves, soaked with the spray,
froze to the gunwales OF the boats.

and the men ashore pulled on the
buoy line. In a moment a man ap-
peared, dangling In the spray Of the
waves which dashed around his body,
at time hiding him completely. Once
ashore he was rushed TO the station
for warmth and treatment. Again the
buoy shot out into the warkness and

WABASH AGREES TO
GRADE SEPARATION
Corporation Counsel Readily Secures
Railways Consent, Delay Being
Due To Misunderstanding.

Corporation Counsel p. j. M. Hally
fetufRed, Saturday morning, from st.
Louis. where he had a conference with
the officers of the Wabash railroad and
secured their signature to the agree
ment covering the separation Of grades
east of Woodward-ave.
That this has not been done sooner
was due To a mistake in the Wabash
Offices. A tentative agreement had
been sent some time ago for the con
sideration of the railroad officials, and
this they signed, believing 1t to be the
bona fide agreement. Later. when
the real agreement came to hand, they
passed it by.
IL do not know when we would ever
have got their signatures If this trip
had not been made" said Hally.
The signatures of the Wabash heads
means that grade separation work will
commence April ] at John X, Brush,
Beaubien and Hastings-sts.
