Ford Says He Hardly
Reads Anything but
Headlines of Papers
BIZ Associated Press.

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 49,
Henry Ford resumed his place on
the witness stand to-day in his libel
suit against the Chicago Tribune.
Counsel for the newspaper alluded
to the Tribune editorial of June 23,
1916, which was headed Ford Is
An Anarchist"
What is headline?" asked Ell
lott G. Stevenson, one of the de-
fendant's attorneys.
1T shows what is in the body
of an article under it,"
Mr.. Ford yesterday testified that
an anarchist is bomb thrower, or
one who overturns government. Mr..
Stevenson then read the text of the
editorial.
Nothing there about bomb
throwing, is there. Mr.. Ford"
NO, but the headline"
But you said a headline shows
what is in the body of the article.
Mr.. Ford"
This precipitated an argument in
the course of which Alfred G.
Murphy. attorney for the plaintiff.
contended it was the contention of
Mr.. Ford that the headline was
libelous standing by itself. for the
very reason that the text of the ar
ticle related nothing anarchistic of
him.
''It seems to me, Your Honor "
said Mr.. Stevenson. that we have
a right to know what the plaintiff
himself thinks-just how he thinks
he has been injured"

but ths headlines" put in Mr.. Ford.

ton closed its doors to-day.
The banks last report issued in

1T is understood the bank had been
under observation by the State Off
cials who had been looking up it's
loans.
Commissioner of Banking John S
Fisher said that the bank had over
extended itself and had gotten to a
place where it could not function
and that Deputy Commissioner P.
G. Cameron was sent to Philadel-
phia last night TO look into the af-
fairs of the bank. From what he
reported, said the Commissioner, he
had taken charge of the institution
to-day. Under the law the Com
missioner can not make any state
ment about the banks finances. 1t
is understood its assets were of a
character that could not readily be
converted into cash
The State Treasury had a deposit
of $4,000 at the bank, fully pro-
tected by surety bonds. Half of this
was drawn out on July Is.
The State Insurance Department
had large deposits in the bank. in
cluding 100000 realized from the
Union Casualty Company. of Phil
adelphia, and something like $780,
600 from the Pittsburgh Life and
Trust proceedings. Originally the
latter deposit was larger. it is un-
derstood, but when Insurance Com
missioner Thomas b. Donaldson
came in he withdrew some of it
and has been working to reduce the
holding. The Commissioner is in
Philadelphia.
The State departments interested
in the bank will have the assistance
of the Attorney Generals office if
required.
