HENRY FORD CHARACTERIZED
 AS ANARCHIST BY WITNESS
Chicago Tribune Chief Edi- torial Writer is Cross Examined in Libel Suit Hearing Today.

Mount Clemens, Mich., July S.- Tiffany Blake, chief editorial writer for the Chicago Daily Tribune, a wit ness in Ford Tribune libel suit was turned over to Attorney Alfred Luck ing for cross examination today. The Ford lawyer intimated that the reason the Tribune continued paying salaries of employees who went with the National Guard to the MeNicap border in 1916 was that as the news paper had been urging intervention for two or three years it regarded triumph
 q do not so understand" replied the witness.
 But when the great war came the Tribune did not pay it's employees who joined the colors," persisted the lawyer.
 q believe that is true.'
 The Tribune argued against going to war with Germany in 1916.'
 'I think argued too strong a word. We were reluctant. to go in.'
 That's all right nodded AIr. Luclxing. "The Tribune was reluct- ant to enter the war and so was Ar. Ford
 They lawyer stated that because ot MT. FOrds reluctance the Tribune stigElatized him as an anarchist.
 "I don't know what you mean by stigmatize," replied the witness.
 q mean that you desire before that editorial was written to attach an OpprObriOus epithct to him.
 NO, we meant to characterize him as an anarchist
 And why?"
 "Because his position opposing dc fcnse measures in a time of dange! was notorious. He was for haulins down the flag. He said patriotism ought to be abolished"
 "Show me where in that editoria you mention these statements"
 Ut was not necessary to mention then His attitude was notorious everybody knew it. It was a back ground of his position so familiar tt the public that it didn't need to b, repeated"

New Britain Institute Pro- tests Building of Garage Adjacent to Library on West Main Street.
LINCOLN ST. PEOPLE
 ARE STILL OPPOSED

Bringing the controversy over the Olson garage on Lincoln street to a head, Mayor George A. Quigley today changed his mind and issued a call for q special meeting of the common council to be held on Thursday eve- ming at o'clock. The session is call ed, according to the mayor for the purpose of giving consideration to the possibility of enacting an ordinance to protect the value of property in resi- dential sections"
 Mayor Quigley this afternoon noti- fled Judge John H. Kirkham who is acting corporation counsel, to be pres ent at the meeting prepared to an swer any legal question that may arise.
 Building Inspector Arthur N. Ru- therford, acting on the advice of the corporation counsel, withheld the is suing of the permit
 Another phase in the enactment of the ordinance was brought out today when Mayor Quigley received a letter from the board of mana gers of the New Britain Institute registering a protest against the building of a gar age adjacent to it's property on West Main street. It is said that the Swift x Ferguson Motor company is con- templating constructing a garage.
 Letter of Protest.
 The letter follows:
 "The board of managers of the New Britain Institute respectfully call to your attention that a public garage is going to be built upon the Swift prop erty upon West Main street, separated from the Institute by only one dwell ing house.
 This would be {: great detrm ent to the city in many other ways than in the relation to the New Britain Insti- ute, but in it's relation 10 the New Britain Institute, n our judgment, it constitutes a nuiSaLce, as the noise of trying out cars in a large garage can not help but be an annoyance to those who are reading or otherwise occupied in tue, rooms of the Institute.
 "We Therefore in the interest of all the citizens of the city who are served by the Institute respectfully request that your honorable body shalr take such steps as will prevent the garage from being built upon the Swift prop erty
 Respectfully.

 NEW BRITAIN INSTITUTE.
