What would probably have been the
biggest, most official dinner of the
week. Mr.. John Barrett's, at the Pan
American Building. in honor of the
new Chilean Ambassador and Sonora
Matthew, already postponed from
January to January 16. because Of
Col Roosevelt's death, was again
postponed-indefinitely this time. be-
cause Sonora Matthew was suffering
from the influenza. The Vice Presi-

1t was very pleasant "at home"
that first one OF the Marshalls after so

Mrs. Marshall's at home was by no

Wednesday has always been regarded

the old days before the war rudely

society out its ruts, the women OF the
Cabinet circle were at home to any
one who cared to call on Wednesday.

the second and fourth. Some Joined

END FORD'S ORDEAL

EIGHT DAYS ON STAND
By the Associated Press

Mount Clemens, Mich, July De-
Examination Of Henry Ford, who is
suing the Chicago Daily Tribune for
81 ,OO0, 900 on charge of libel, was
concluded today. 1t was the manu- e
facturer's eighth day as witness
Alfred Imcking, his senior counsel,
asked only a few minor questions ana
witness was turned over to Attorney
Elliott G.. Stevenson, representing the
defendant.
"Do you mean by any of yonr re
niles to Mr.. Luckng to change or
qualify any of your direct admissions
to me?" asked the Tribune lawyer.
"No, sir" answered the witness
Mr.. Stevenson recalled the case OF
the Dodge Brothers, minority steck ,
holders. who went into court in 1916
and compelled Mr.. Ford to distribute
half of S52, 900 900 surplus in divi-
dends.
Mr.. Ford admitted that F. L. King,

Detroit, previously testified that 1t was

On further examination by Mr.. Luck
ing. witness said that in the lower court
the Dodves enjoined him from enarging
his plant, but this was reversed by the
Supreme Court of Michigan. Mr.. Ford
said he had wished at that time TO eX-
pand in order to employ more men al
good wages. He reduced the price SN'

to SOO,0 cars, he said, and Dodge
Brothers charged that this alone sacrl

spring, before the Dodge deal, when

Edsel Ford, however, prevailed upon
him to give him a chance to settle with
the Dodges.
The next bit of evidence was in the
form Of a deposition from Pough =

report of whose name follows:

1t appeared from the doctor s de-
nosition that Mr.. Ford was in the

were foolish to be on board, as they
had been warned.

alcoholic content very much less than
that prescribed by this bill, and as the
federal law when passed will be
supreme, 1t would be the limit Of futility
for this commonwealth to put upon its
statute books an act which would be a
dead letter as soon as the federal gov
ernment shall have spoken upon the
subject
In vetoing the state salary board bill
the Governor says the purpose is com
mendable and seeks to remedy a mani
fest inequality that exists in the com
pensation of certain state officers and
employees. He asks whether the bill
does not give legislative powers to the
board and remarks that such powers
cannot be delegated.
Power to Change Law
The Governor then says, This bill
in effect clothes the salary board with
the power to amend. alter or change a
law fixing the salary. for example, of
the deputy head Of departmental po-
siton created by statute, filled by ap-
pointment Of the Governor, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate,
and with salary attached thereto ex =
prcssly prescribed thereby.
"1f the Legislature can delegate its
power to some board thus to change a
law specifically fixing the salary of II
public officer, is it not tantamount to
giving it the power to abolish the office
by Withholding all salary therefrom or
may the Legislature not take the further
step and delegate the power to some
board to change or alter the laws which
have established all public places? Aside
from the constitutional doubt, I am not
convinced that the system here proposed
to be set up is sound in policy, OF
whether it would not entail a burdcr
upon the board charged with its ad-
ministration and invite abuses wholly
disproportionate to any advantage i
might secure.
"a departure from our hitherto ac'
ceptcd and settled policy of fixing th
compensation of public officers and EN-
ployes so radical as this should onl,
be made where the way is free from al
question as to its constitntionality an'
there the gains in view are so patcn
and consequential as to make such ;
change Of method altogether desirable
and its adoption an unmistakable duty.

MUST KEEP CAR RECORD
Garage proprletors to Be Held Re-
sponslbIe for Information

Proprietors of public garages through
out PENNSYLVANIA have had their at
tention called by letter to the provi-
sions Of the act approved by Governor
Sproul, June 80, requiring that records
must be kept of all cars stored or left
for repairs in every garage of the
state.
The provisions of this act are now in
force. A special form has been pre-
pared by the State Highway Depart
ment, and this must be used by the
garage men. Records must be kept
in ink or indelible pencil and must be
open to the inspection of police or
other authorities for one year. A
stiff fine is provided for failure to main
tain the record.
Police authorities say that the keep
ing of these records will do much to
end the stealing of automobiles.

2.75 BEER MEASURE
SprouI Questions Bills Defini-

Says It Is Conflicting
SALARY BOARD PLAN BEATEN

Harrisburg, July 23.-(By A. P.)-
Governor William c. Sproul today an
nounced his vetoes Of the Ramsey bill
designed to legalize 2.75 per cent beer,
and the measure creating the state sal
ary board, in messages reviewing the
purposes Of the legislation and declaring
in the case of the Ramsey bill that it
would be futile legislation and that the
salary board bill was Of doubtful con
stitutionality.
In his veto of the Ramsey bill the
Governor says:
"This bill purports to be an act to
enforce the eighteenth amendment to
the constitution of the United States
by prohibiting the manufacture. sale
and transportation within the common
wealth of intoxicating liquors for bever-
age purposes and defining the term
Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses.
"Thc LEGISLATURE in this bill has
endeavored to define the meaning of the
words Intoxicating liquors for bever =
age purposes by providing that they
mean all vinous, spirituous, malt or
brewcd liquors or any admixture thereof
for beverage purposes when they con
tain more than 2A per cent Of alcohol

degrees above zero.
Difference Of Opinion
"Whethcr such alcoholic content as
that thus defined is or is not intoxicat
ing is a question of fact as to which
there seems to be some difference OF
opinion. This bill further provides in
substance that although beverage with
such an alcoholic content may in fact
be Intoxicating, it shall be considered
non Intoxicating.

wide door to evasions of the law. As
