Newspaper Attacks
Electioneering by
Ford i'm Libel Suit
Chicago Tribune Demands
Change of Venue, Charg-
ing Auto Manufacturer
Has s'Control'' of Detroit

DETROIT, jan 25 Hearing of argu-
ment on motion for change of venue
made in circuit court by "The Chicago
Tribune" in the libel action brought
against that newspaper by Henry Ford
will commence Monday morning. Post
ponement was agreed to by both coun-
sci, who anticipate argument will con-
sumo two to three days.
Argument on two motions presented
by counsel for Mr.. Ford to permit tax
ing dispositions Of witnesses in other
motion for change of venue
The libel action is docketed for trial
February 10.
In asking for a change of venue coun-
sci for "The Tribune alleged among
other things that the large number
of Mr.. Ford's employees in Detroit and
the elcctioncerng done in his behalf
during the recent senatorial campaign
were prejudicial to a fair trial of the
case.
Elliott G. Stevenson, of counsel for
"TEe Tribune" told the court that it is
impossible properly to prove his con-
tention by affidavit and asked to be
allowed to present proofs at a hearing
in open court.
The petition for change of venue
asserts that Ford, taking advantage of
delays in bringing the suit to trial,
spread broadcast pamphlet designed
to prejudice the public and jurors who
might be called to try the case; that
the plaintiff also caused publication
in newspapers of misleading and untrue
articles for the purpose of presenting
the defendant in a false light before
the public as a patriot.
Other reasons advanced in the pc
tition were that Mr.. Ford EMPLOYS
directly or indirectly, from 10000 to
$4,000 persons in Wayne county; that
during his senatorial campaign he cir.
culated misleading and untrue articles
on his attitude toward the war and
on preparedness for war, and that by
the expenditure Of large sums of money
AS candidate he influenced many per
sons who might therefore be expected
TO aid him III every way, to the pref
udice Of the defendant.
In conclusion the defendant alleges
that the list of jurors was improperly
selected.
"Thc Tribrt Us" alleged attacks on
the Detroit nAlufacturer were based
on his alleged pacifsm. "Thc Tribune"
was among the leading newspapers ad-
vocating preparedness for war at the
time the Ford peace ship sailed.

The prince didn't understand bird

angrily But the prince changed his

flashes showed the mountains looming
up dark, gloomy and threatening. This
night had become pitch black and heavy
clouds were circling about the jagged
peaks. 1t was a scary time to venture
among the mountains, but the, prince
never hesitated. 'On, on. we must find

into a steep road.
High up they climbed until at last

knowing whether to go to the right on
to the left. And as he hesitated

fact that Manitou had never equipped
