IN FORD-TRIBUNE, CASE
Woman Who Lost Husband and
Son Testifles for Defendant in
Libel Suit.

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich. June T.
Mrs. Nellie F. Austin of Sebastian,
Tex, whose husband and son were
killed by Mexican raiders on their
ranch thirty miles north of the Rio
Grande August 6, 1915. testified yes
terday for the defendant in the
against the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Her testimony and that Of v. L. Con-
rad and Roscoe H. Smith followed the
ruling Of Judge ]. C. Tucker that the
defendant might introduce testimony
to show actual conditions along the
Mexican border. leaving it incumbent
upon the defendant to show that the
writer of the alleged libelous edi-
torial headed Ford Is An Anarchist"
had such knowledge in general way
at the time he wrote the editorial.
Mr.. Smiths testimony served as a
preface to that of Mrs. Austin. He
was at Sebastian, a mile and a quar-
ter from the Austin ranch. working
at a corn cutter with Mr.. Austin and
the latter's son when a band of Mex
lean raiders appeared. They robbed
the general store and a detachment

civil engineer of Brownsville. He
produced a detail map of the Browns
Vile district and identified various
spots where he said there had been
serious raids attended by bloodshed.
He related his personal experience
with a gang of bandits. who. he said,
had fired upon an automobile In which
he was taking some workmen to a
contract along a country road. The
driver received a scalp wound as their
machine outdistanced the bandits, he
said.
Adjournment was taken to. Monday.

RAILROAD DEFICIT GROWS:
$4,000, 900 APRIL LOSS
Director Hines Notes Falling Off
in Business and Higher Cost of
Labor and Material.

The railroad administration incurred
deficit of approximately $4,000. 900
in April, making a total deficit of
$250,0OO, 0e0 for the first four months
of the year. it is estimated by Director
General Hines. The director general
believes. however. that present eco
nomic conditions are too unsettled to
afford safe basis for decision as to
the necessity for increased rates to
offset the difference between income
and operating cost.
There will be no raise for the pres
ent, as the administration wishes to
confine itself to every possible econ
omy.
The net operating income for April
was about $26.000.000. as compared
with $71,O00,00O for April last year,
and an average Of $67. 102,6S1 for April
during the three-year test period on
which compensation to the roads is
based.
I'm April" Mr.. Hines said. "as In
January, February and March. this
unfavorable showing was due in large
part to the falling off of business. 1t
was also due in part to the heavy IN
creases in wages and cost of materials.
The railroad administration is not un-
like other industrial undertakings in
the increases in wages and costs OF
materials. but is unlike these otner
enterprises in that the latter nave
made high responding increases in the
prices Of what they sell, while the
railroad administration has made an
increase in transportation rates OF only
rs per cent, which is a far less per-
centaGe than the increase IN wages
and cost Of materials"
