"Bsrnum." says Miss Hicolay, "of-
fered a prize OF $500 for an ode in her
honor, which was won by young man
named Bsysrd Taylor. When her ship
was nearing port he erected triumphall
arches on the wharf. Guns announced
her arrival off Sandy Hook, and he os-
tentatiously climbed aboard the Allan

ouet stuck in the bosom of his white

NUNS business rival, was already at
her side, presenting her with bou-
ouet three times as big, but he may
have been part Of the advertising

smiled upon Bsrnum. and he mounted
the box Of her carriage. white waist

FORD'S SPENDING

Federal Court Continues
Injunction Against Auto
Plant Development

ue,roit Dec. 9.-The three circuit
iudres who heard the Dodge BROTHERS
CONT case to-day extended for sixty
DAYS the temporary injunction restiai,'-
ing Henry Ford from using the pronts

its business The judges VIII near
further arguments on the apph caton
10 make the Injunction permanent.
One sentence OF the judges DECISION
touching upon the phllanthropic actlvl-
ties Of the Ford Motor Company, says
"1nssmuch as business corporations
arc constructed for profit, they must
not bend their energies IN any other
direction"
The Judges were not unanimous IN
.beir decision as 10 whether Ford
could legally spend millions Of his COM
panv's funds 20 construct and MAINTAIN
blast furnaces. Ford announced some
time ago that he planned to buy great
quantities Of ore and 'smelt 1t IN his
own furnaces.
Judges Weist and Hart held that the
Ford Motor Company could properly
build I'D such an enterprise, provided
all the products which left the smelters
were used in the manufacture of auto
mobiles by the Ford concern.
Judge Chester. who did not concur,
held that an automobile corporation
could not legally engage in the smelter
business, even if It intended TO use the
product of its smeltcr.
The Judges were unanimous IN their
declaration that minority stockholders
had a right TO receive consideration
from Ford. They held that when Ford
put through projects without notifying
minority stockholders OF his intentions
or without listening to their com
plants or suggestions he was disre-
garding the rights which they. as stock
holders, should enjoy.
The dispute as TO whether capital
stock and capital assets should be re-
garded legally as synonymous was de,
cided in Fords favor The Judge 1eld
that capital stock does not always
mean capital. The point raised b. the
Dodges was that the Ford company, al
though capitalized At $1,000, 900, was an
illegal corporation, because a state law
