FAFNIR HELP MAY
 RETURN TO WORK
Individual Hearings Given Employees Today Result in Agreement Sat-
 iSfactOry to Both.

Although one of the officials of the F'afnir Bearing company stated yes terday that as far as the firm is con- cerned, the difficulties in the packing and inspection departments of that plant were considered closed, it is eVi- dent that the officials reconsidered the matter, as all 13 employees were given individual hearings this morning. It was stated by one of them that all will return to work tomorrow morn ing. The matter has not been settled, however, and the employees are re- turning to work upon the promise of a raise to be paid them on their next pay day. The statement made yester- day that the vacancies had all been filled was erroneous, as but two men have been hired, it is said. Factory officials declined to give out any state ment
 One of the 3 who quit Friday noon at the plant is a member of the F'afnir baseball team, and is recognized as one of the best fielders in the factory league.

Prohibition Leaders Advo-
 cate Amendment For Seiz- ure of Liquors in Homes
 Where it is Sold IIlicitly.

Washington, July 16.-AuthorityA of congress to fix one-half of one pei cent. as the maximum alcoholic con tent of beverages in prohibition en- forcement legislation is clear, Waynd< B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon league, declared today before the senate Judiciary sub-com- mittee in answering recent statements of Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for brewers
 Against 2.75 Per Cent. Beer.
 '"To allow the sale of two and three quarters per cent beer" said. MT. Wheeler, would keep alive theN liquor trade and defeat the purposesN of national prohibition. Friends odt prohibition do not want it unless i'd defines intoxicating liquor"
 Thirty-three prohibition states andf 13 local option states, Mr Wheeled said, have laws limiting alcohol ip1 beverages. He challenged Mr. Inter myer to produce any court decisionsI denying congress or state legislatures1 the right to make definitions.
 Congress cannot consistently adopt| a weaker standard in defining the| term than that already enacted in the|
 
 means nothing can be sold for bev- craze purposes that contains more than one-half of one per cent. alcohol"
 Want Stringent Laws.
 MT. Wheeler told the committed that prohibition advocates were not| asking that possession of liquors bought before July I for personal use| be prohibited. He added, however, that they were suggesting amend ments to the pending legislation toI limit the amount of liquors which may be stored in private residences, so as to "prevent homes from becom- ing 'speak-easies.'
 Another amendment advocated byI prohibition leaders, MT. Wheeler said, is~ a provision for seizure of ii- -quors in homes where it is sold il- licitly.
 "Bootleggers will Saintain their homes as headquarter5thout. such legislation" he said. M
 Want Nothing{4on Hip.
 Two other amendments were urged by the witness. To FkfeYent bootleg- ging, he asked that Fthe committed add a clause makingf mere personal and physical possession of intoxicantsi such as the presencA af a@xaax V fslgs an individuals pocketS I5faW savf
 "This is the most eAective ealsp of prohibition enforcemN~at, said Mr Wheeler, and Senator SsNfing sug-| gested that the bill be extenA5ed so asI to penalize purchase as well as Aalel of intoxicating beverag ages.
 Asks for Sweeping Powers.
 Mr Wheeler also asked for sweep ing search warrant powers, suggest ing that seizures be authorized with out a warrant or at least that war rants be issued without requiring tes- tmony in support of requests. Other- wise, he said, liquor might be re- moved before officers could act.
 Senator Walsh, Montana, and other committee members opposed eXten- sion of the bill search warrant pro-. visions and also insisted that the pro- visions penalizing searches with malice and without probable cause should remain.

 Not only did he tell the details of the brutal attack on Mr. Hull but he assumed respons. .bility for the death M Mrs. Julia c. Wilkins for whose murder her husband. pr. Walter Keen Wilkins, was convicted and after wards committed suicide in the jail at Mineola.
 Police Are SkcpticaI.
 The police profess to place little credence in his confession of the Will kins murder, however. They declare their belief that young O'Brien is IeVeling in the notoriety he has gain Sd and simply is seeking to make the prisoners here think he is a bad man."
 Tragedy Never Explained.
 Although the authorities are skep- tical about O'Bren's profesSed con- nect1On with the murder of Mrs. Will kins, they will sift his story carefully. A strange series of fact has connect ed the Wilkins case with the Hull murder.

FORD ADMITS BEING
 IGNORANT IDEAL|ST Goes Into Rage When Quizzed by
 Chicago Tribune Lawyer DENIES BEING MURDERER
Does Not Class Himself Among Those Who Professionally Made Money in Struggle.

Mount Clemens Mich., July 16.- , The things Henry Ford thought and that his peace secretary, Theodore Delavigne, wrote for him were again the topic of eXaminat ton when MT. Ford resumed the witness stand to- day. The witness, who is suing the Chicago Daily Tribune for s1,0OO,OOO on charge of libel, was examined by Elliott c. Stevenson, senior cousel for the defendant.
 F1auntS "Preparedness' Men
 MT. Stevenson quoted the phrase Same old scarecrow talk and asked whom was meant. MT. Ford re- turned his familiar reply. "Dela- vigne wrote that" He added that the ''scarecrows'' were the profess sional agitators for preparedness.
 "Your position was that they were advocating preparedness in order to profit by munitiOns?"
 "Over- preparedness yes.'
 Ford Not a Murderer.
 The lawyer then alluded to the use of the word "murderers'' as applied by MT. Ford to professional soldiers and those who make money out of war.
 Well, you were a murderer in 1917" suggested MT. Stevenson.
 "Oh, no,' replied the witness quick ly, that was during the war;
 Admits Being Idealist
 MT. Stevenson precipitated a tor rent of objections by asking the meaning of the word ''traitor' in the course of which MT. Ford interposed:
 "Tll admit I'm an ignorant idealist.'
 "Why, MT. Ford" MT. Stevenson said in surprise eff you admit that I shall not have to ask you any more questions along that line"
 "I'1l admit it if it will close this talk. It is for the jury to decide, 
 But if you admit it there will be nothing for the jury to decide. The settles it." s1..
 Predatory to this outburst by the witness, who was plainly nettled by the examination, MT. Stevenson ex- planed to the court:
 AsSaiIs FOrd'S Knowledge.
 'Your honor, the alleged libelous editorial in the Tribune refers to MT. Ford as an Ignorant idealst," the questions are to show that he is in fact ignorant and if he is an idealist. and doesn't know the meaning of commonly used words, he is plainly an ignorant idealist."
 It was at this point that the witness burst out with his angry admission, which, despite efforts of his lawyers, he repeated.
 The Tribune lawyer seemed content with Mir. FOrd's declaration and asked him number of questions as to what he knew of the size, equipment and of the army in 1915 and 1916, the witness having said yes terday that he considered the force at that time adequate for defense.
 By the way" he added, "what are the relations between the United States and Porto Rico?'
 Judge Tucker suggested this line had been followed enough.
 But this man sets himself up as an educator and wanted to go to the United States senate"
