QUIZ FORD TODAY
ON RED" BELIEFS

MT. CLEMENS. Mich, July 1.-THE
lengthy and bitterly fought trial by
Henry Ford's $1.OOO.OOo libel suit
against the Chicago Tribune is ex-
pected to reach its climax today
when Ford himself will be called to
the stand by attorneys for the Tn
bune.
It is expected that Tribune attor-
neys will question Ford at length con-
corning his views upon war and his
theories OF business and government
in an effort to draw from him some
admission of beliefs that will justify
the accusation that Ford is an an
archist," which brought about the
suit. With the testimony of Ford
the taking of evidence in the trial
virtually will be ended.
Before Henry Ford takes the stand,
however. Edsel Ford. son Of the au-
tomobile manufacturer, Is to be call
ed to complete testimony begun yes
terday. The younger Ford was ques-
toned closely regarding many de-
tails OF the Ford business, particular
ly the so-called Ford profit-sharing
plan" which attorneys for the Tri-
bune have characterized as "a hum
bug"
1t was brought out yesterday that
net profits of the Ford plant in 1914
were $50, 1886, 454S3, and that the sales
of the plant for the ten months end
ing July 81, wene 121, $50. S59.S3.

COMMITTEE FAVORS
RETIREMENT BILL
Opinion Seems to Be For Pen
sion of Aged Civil Service
Employees.

The Lehlbach bill providing for the
retirement of employees in the classi-
fled civil service will probably be re-
ported out favorably some time next
week by the House Committee on Re-
form in the Civil Service.
At a meeting of the committee today
the various sections Of the measure
were discussed informally and the
committee appeared to be unit in
the opinion that some provision
should be made by the Government
for old age provision for its employees.
81 hope that we shall be able to
send the bill to the House with few
IL any changes" Mr.. Lehlbach said
following the committee meeting.
This matter has been dragging along
long enough. It has the Endorsement
OF scores OF organizations and tndt-
viduals who are thoroughly familiar
with conditions surrounding those
who have been a long time in the civil
service.
1--WE will hold another meeting on
Monday next to go further into the
details, and 1 expect it will be report
ed shortly thereafter"
There will be no more public hear
ings on the bill. The committee feels
that il has sufficient evidence before
it to warrant reporting bill of some
kind. The bill will not contain all the
features that Mr.. Lehlbach had hoped
to put in for the benefit Of aged Gov
eminent employees, but it is subject
to amendment, and he hopes that the
measure now up for consideration
may mark the beginning Of legisla-
ton along this line that will ulti-
mately give the civil service employe
his or her due.

paign. 1t is certainly a most worthy
and deserving cause"
The ladies' auxiliary in charge OF
the Strand Theater reported to head

TRIM HER TOENAILS

NEW YORK, July 11.-So far as
Justice Giegerich is concerned. the
Rev. Josiah Martyr Neisert didn't
pedicure Carolyn Cooper. his nurse.
And Mrs. Neisert has done nothing
extraordinary in her conduct as a
wife, the judge decided.
He reached his decision today after
hearing a mass OF evidence in the
suit of Mrs. Neisert for a divorce and
the minister's counter suit for separa-
ton. His advice was for the couple
to try it again.
Neisert's twelve-year-old daughter
testified that her father polished the
mails on Miss Cooper's toes, but Eei-
sert insisted there was nothing out Of
the war in the operation, inasmuch
as the little girl assisted by holding
Miss Cooper's ankle.
