City Engineers P H. Halleck pro- posed plan for the numbering Of the streets of Bisbee at the city coun- cil meeting Tuesday night and after discussing the plan from every angle the council decided to adopt the. plan They have taken steps to see what can be done to put the plan in us0 and as soon as the cost of the plan has been 'ascertained some definite action will be taken.
 The plan as proposed by Engineer Halleck is explained in his letter to the council, which is as follows: To the Mayor and Common
 Council of the City of Bisbee. Bisbee, Arizona.
 Dear Sirs:
 You asked me to work out a plan for numbering the houses in the City of Bisbee. I have talked to good many people, that should have an idea as to how it should be done, and have had suggested to me many ways to do it. Some did not think that it was needed, but the big major ity agreed with me, that we need ed it very badly, and differed only on how it was to be done
 One plan that was suggested to me was to number the houses ac- cording to the lot and block number. In most cities that would be all right, but here it Is not, because the lot numbers do not run consecutively, as for instance Lot numbered would be very apt to have Lot number ed 100 on one side, and Lot num- bered 59 on the other, so if the houses were numbered, as the lots are. you would have as big a mess as you now have.
 The plan that l think is best,

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. July Is Henry Ford, under examination as a witness for the defense during all of today's session of his suit for $1,0O0,- 900 libel against the Chicago Tribune was lead through a maze of questions by the newspapers attorney, who said he was trying to show that the alleged libelous editorial was correct in call ing the motor manufacturer 'an igno- rant idealist."
 Answering the varied interrogations of Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson, MT. Ford described an idealist as lone who helped to make people prosperous, !" an anarchist as lone who throws bombs or seeks to overturn govern ment The witness did not recall the incident of Major Andre and Benedict Arnold, describing the revolutionary traitor as writer At one time Mr. Ford said he would admit he was "an ignorant fdealist" if that would stop the questioning, but later said the question would have to be decided by by the jury.
 Judge Tucker interposed objection to carrying the line of inquiry SO far outside the case and Attorney Steven son then asked about Mir. Ford's knowledge of governmental relations, asserting that as the witness, as a can-i dfdate for senator. had set himself up as an educator of the people, he had a right to prove that MT. Ford was ignorant
 MT Ford reiterated that his circulars against war and preparedness were written by Theodore D. Lavaigne, but that he was responsible for all the statements, although he did not recall all of them.
 Following a resume of the state ments published by Dalavigne and for which MT. Ford assumed full respon- sibility:
 Tt Cwar) is the same old scareerow by the same old lazy vultures who make human lives, seldom their own, the stake in their so-called battle of brains."
 'I feel that this cry for the training of men to kill other men and for the placing of the army and navy as a burden on the backs of the people, is a false conception of patriotism and treason to the life of the people"
 "The United States has spent more than a billion dollars on a navy and army that would cope with an invasion that never occurred and never will oc- cur, and yet the very war experts who are responsible for that burdensome army and navy admit that our army and navy never would be able to meet. with any hope of success, those of other so-called powers" G
 Pressed by Mr.Stevenson as to what he meant by such statements, MT. Ford repeatedly remarked that if it was in the book it was true. The
