MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich, June II

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich, June IL
Jesse Deemer, formerly of Texas,
but now Of Buhl, Idaho, was one of the
chief witnesses to-day in Judge
fuckers court, where Henry Ford is
suing "The Chicago Tribune" for ST.
100000 on a charge of libel.
Deemer spent Naany years in Mexico
and along the border as telegraphel
and railroad man, rancher and store.
keeper, but after his capture by ban
dts, the looting of his general store
at Boquillas, Tex, on the border, and
his thrilling rescue by American
troopers he removed to Idaho.
Norman Walker, correspondent TO,
The Associated Press at Ell Paso; Mr.
Deemer, Oscar G. Compton, of Sar
Antonio, Tex, formerly Of Glen
Springs, Tex, and Orin C. Dove, a
customs inspector at Preside, Tex.
were the days witnesses.
Mr.. Walker was the medium through
which two official statements, one from
President Wilson and the other from
Secretary of State Lansing, were in.
troduced.
Attorney Alfred Lucking, for Mr.
Ford, read an appeal to the press BY
President Wilson in March, 1916
shortly after the Columbus, N. M,
raid by Villa band, in which Ameri.
can citizens were slain.
In this letter the President appealed
to the press to avoid referring to the
troop movements in Mexico as war, or
publishing sensational rumors or
otherwise aggravating situation
which might become serious. The let
ter warmed that powerful inhuences''
were at work to embroil the two ma
tions.
Attorney Weymouth Kirkland, of
counsel for The Tribune, countered
with Mr.. Lansing's scathing indictme ent
three months later Of the Mexican
Federal government, contained in a
letter to President Carranza, after Car
rama had insisted that General Perish
ing's troops, still in pursuit Of the
Columbus raiders, be withdrawn.
The Tribune's attorneys contended
that the United States government
knew of the atrocities on the border
at the very time President Wilson'S
appeal to the press was issued.
Compton, Deemer and Dove testified
as to incidents in the Big Bend country
OF Texas. Compton and Deemer suffered
from a raid made by Mexicans in the
middle of May, 1915. Boquillas,
Deemer's home at the time, and Glen
Springs are neighboring villages. At
Glen Springs there was a detachment
of nine American soldiers whose duty
it was to guard thirty or forty miles
of border They were attacked during
the night by Mexicans and Compton's
four-year-old son was killed. Another
SON witnessed the killing. Compton
was away from the village and upon
his return found Mexicans in pos
session of the place.
The Mexicans who captured Deemer
first looted his store, securing $4,000
in cash.

u. S. Asked. to Build
River Freight Tube
By Board of Trade
Tunnel Under Manhattan to
Connect Jersey and Brook
lyn Recommended to Fed.
eral r. r. Administration

A resolution urging the United
States Railroad Administration to build
a freight tunnel under the Hudson
River, connecting New Jersey and
Manhattan and continuing under Man
haitian and the East River to Brook
lyn, was adopted yesterday by the
New York Board Of Trade and Trans
portation.' 1t follows:
"The Hudson River is a barrier be-
tween Western and Southern railway
systems and their New England and
Canadian connections.
with the exception of an INSULT
cient bridge at Poughkeepsie there is
no rail crossing between Albany and
New York. AS a consequence of this
separation there is added to the great
and growing local port transfer ton
mage at New York a continually in
creasing congestion Of transfer traffic
moving between New England and
Canadian points on the one hand and
Southern and Western cities on the
other, which tunnels would wholly re-
lieve. Moreover, the tunnels could
carry all the traffic between these
points which now goes via Albany and
Poughkeepsie without congesting the
port.
"The waterfront on the New York
and New Jersey sides of the harbor,
because of the floating transfer of
freight, is used intensively for rail-
road purposes to the partial exclusion
OF marine commerce, and dock i'm
provements have not been and can
not be made with sufficient celebrity to
keep up with the continually expand
ing national and local demands for
both rail and water requirements.
"No comprehensive port plan and
policy has SO far been developed The
City of New York has provided part of
the facilities, the railroads part and
private enterprise part
"In view of the impending rush of
traffic from all parts of the world to
the Port of New York, is it not the
imperative duty of the hour to pre-
pare the port for this service by doing
the simple thing so obviously neces-
sary to make New York like other
eaports-that is, put an end to rail-
road separation and secure contin-
uous belt line, interchangeable service
for all docks, railroads, terminals,
warehouses and factory sites?"
Public Service Commissioner Lewis
Nixon, in an address to the board,
charged that certain local officials"
have obstructed Improvement of trans
portation facilities in New York. He
said he would soon make some "strong
recommendations touching on this
matter"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-12

been a leak concerning the govern
ment's intentions.
B. Warren Corkran & Co. had been
obtaining the stock through their New
York correspondent, F. M. Lockwood
& Co., of So Broadway.
Bissell declares mat he never laid
eyes on "Brown" again. When he did
not appear after a reasonable inter-
val Bissell came to New York to con-
suit his firms attorney L. B. X. Clag-
gett. They went to District Attorney
Swami and were turned over to AS
sistant District Attorney Dooling.
Mr.. Dooling said yesterday his in
vestigation disclosed that a week ago
Ryan went to Charles Woram, a broker,
of AZ Broadway, ana asked him to sell
scme shares of PEGS Canyon stock.
Woram refused to handle the stock
but referred Ryan to c. H. Bertrand
G. Co., of So Broadway. The latter firm
accepted the commission, Mr.. Dooling
asserts, and placed it with Harry
Small, curb broker.
Prosecution Has Checks
Then, it is alleged, F. NJ. Lockwood
& Co., for B. Warren Cochran & Co.,
who, in turn, were acting for Brown"
purchased the stock Ryan had placed
in the hands Of Bertrand & Co. and
which few days before had been so
mysteriously withdrawn from the mar
ket.
Mr.. Dooling added that Bertrand had
produced checks for sums aggregating
s36,500 on tn Franklin Trust Company,
Endorsed, it is alleged, by Ryan, and
which purport to be in payment for the
stock. He says the bank records show
Ryan cashed the checks.

Convicted Man Saves
Farm for President

LOS ANGELES, June 11.-George A.
Fox, convicted of obtaining money by
false pretences, prevented the sale of
President Wilson's farm land in River
side County for overdue taxes by pay
ing them himself. This became known
here to-day when Fox, who is in the
county Jail, received telegram of
thanks from j. P. Tumulty, the Presi-
dents secretary.
81 considered it my patriotic duty"
was the only comment Fox made.
The tax bill was for 1921. The
tract consists of sixty-one acres and
was purchased before Mr. Wilson be-
came President. Fox read a notice of
the tax sale in a newspaper.
