Ford Tribune Jury

By Ass.el.t.s Pros.

Mt Clemens. Mich, May 22.-Discus- sion of the law bearing on the scope of evidence to be admitted in the en- tire session began today of the trial of Henry Ford's libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune. The jury. which had been instructed for the aft ernoon session, was again excused. this time until Monday, indicating the arguments will close tomorrow
 A member of the Ford legal forces explained in simple form for the bene- fit of mystified laymen. the plaintiffs contention on the limitation of evil dence
 "If Smith steals Jones' watch" he said. "and Jones calls him thief and says he uses the term because of that larceny, the explanation is a-eomplete defense of the slanderouslw word thief If, on the other hand, it develops that Jones' watch was stolen by some oth- CT person. it is no defense against a charge of islander to prove that Smith was a thief any way. because he had committed some other larceny"

MERE RETURN OF WIRES WILL NOT

 SAYS BURLESON
Co., o-Ordinated Operation and Rate Fixing by Interstate Commerce Commission
 Recommended by the
 Wire Control Board
By Associated Press

Washington, May 22.-Rec- concentrations of the wire con trol board that legislation re- turning the telephone an tele- graph systems of the country to private ownership provide co-ordinated operation of the various systems and fixing of rates by the interstate com merce commission were for warded today by Postmaster General Burleson to the House postoffice committee.
 The wire boards recommendations also
 include creation of . tribunal to hear all controversies between employers and employees, and that changes in wage til submitted to the Interstate Commerce commission, so that corresponding changes may be made in rates.
 Mere return of the wires to their own CTS will not solve vexatious problems confronting the companies, MT. Burleson said in his letter to Representative Moon of Tennessee. ranking democratif mem Der of the committee, transmitting the recommendations Extraordinary costs of operation and maintenance fastened upon them as result of war the Postmaster General said, will continue for some time after control passes from the gov ernment.''
 SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY
 Because of these Extraordinary these properties" the letter continued, "a serious responsibility is upon the government to use every means possible consistent with sound policy to protect the public and enable owners to operate their properties
 ''The members of the board are unani- mousiy in favor of the order. To pro- vide the most efficient wire service the various service systems should be CO., ordinated as to operation. This does not require monopoly qr ownership, but is necessary so there lean be a consistent anu HdIlHoillouS reSuldtOry pOHCy. Through this meanSl only can the attempts at wasteful competition and the economic loss occasoned bN duplicates of plant and force be avoided. It is believed that this is desirable and can be reached by amending the law so as to provide, sub ject to the appr4val Of the Interstate Commerce commission, that any telegraph and telephone company doing an inter state business may purchase the prop erty of any other telegraph or telephone company, or consolidate with any other company, or pool traffic, under provisions which will protect the public.
 "Hence it is believed that the law should be so amended asA to empower the Inter- state Commerce commission to fix rates for telegraph and telephone companies subject to provisions of the act and that any company whose lines are located en- tirely within a state but which trans acts direct interstate business should be trade subject to the act.'
 The commissions use of it's rate mak- ing power, the letter said, would ensure the companies sufficient revenue to yield a reasonable return on the value of property" also to give proper serv- ice.

DEMOCRATS DEFEAT MOVE

After the bill had been reported, Re- publican Leader Mondell moved to ad- journ until tomorrow, but on a rising vote of 7 to g, the democrats, who happened at the time to have a majori- ty in the chamber, defeated the move. Democratic Leader Clark then asked unanimous consent for immediate con- sderation of the measure and MT. Mon dell assented. The measure was passed in less than an hour, without a roll call.
 During the partisan skirnishing, Re- publican Leader Mann charged that Pres dent Wilson was responsible entirely for delay in appropriations. He said the President had neglected or refused to call Congress sooner because of fear that the league of nations would be discussed Democrats sharply retorted that the Senate republicans filibuster, which held up the war risk funds. and not the Pres ident, was responsible. The speakers were applauded according to their par tisan utilization as the political points were made.
 In explaining the objects of the bill Representative Good stated in reply to questions that so far as he knew the resignation of former Director Lindsley of the war risk insurance bureau was not responsible for the deficiency in the bureaus funds. Representative Moore of Pennsylvania. republican. suggested that the appropriations committee, in it's work investigate affairs involved in re- tirement of Colonel SLindsley.
