United States, this sum equaling
the IL per cent tax which it is pro-
posed to impose on Germany's' ex-
ports.

HENRY FORD SUED
FOR $4,000, 900

Chicago, Feb. 3.-The papers in a
S5,000,000 damage suit against
Henry Ford and his paper, the Dear
born Independent, has filed suit in
circuit court today by Morris Gest
Theatrical producer who alleged
that an article in the Independent
on January %, 1921, contained "li.
belous, slanderous and false state,
ments" concerning Mr.. Gest and
certain stage productions he has
handled.

stage was under the influence of g

After saying that "Mr. Gest
stalks before his fellow Jews as the
most successful producer of the
year," the article declared that Mr.
Gest was not great producer, but
a "great panderer to a public whose
taste he has been no mean factor in
debasing." Gest, it said, sold news.
papers in Boston and in 1906 made
a member "of a notorious gang Of
ticket spectators who were the
bane of the public"
"There is nothing in Gest's career
to indicate that he would ever con-
tribute anything to the theatres
best interests"

DIV but the house refused to concur
in the terms of the senate bill and

The debate in the house ON the
aboIishment of the county truant Of
ficers was set for Friday. Indications
sre that the house will follow the
senate in this matter.
The Atkinson bill for a Public Ser
vice commission was. passed from
second to third reading with opposi-
tson but with amendments which
would have salaried officer in the

The bank stock then was hypothecated to a Madi- son, Wis, bank. As a result the $2,0oo paid the cashier on his home was the only money actually fn- volved in the deal.

 "It was a plain case of 'kiting'," Colonel Clinnin explained today. "Harshman tells me that French then sent a bundle of the banks notes to him, with instructions to the banks reserves and undivided profits. Harshman sayn he refused. I rather believe that he did prevent the footing of the bank. Harsh mans vague reference to the Ohio man whose certified checks were used, eventually led us to z. w. Davis of Cleveland and Canton, a director of the Winton Motor com pany. Harshman claimed some of talling $500.o00 were hidden in Harshman's home at Milwaukee. sent him there yesterday in custody of secret service man to get the papers. They are due here today with it."
 Morris Wolfe, the agent arrived this morning with notes aggregating nearly 33,o00,ooo and other papers.

 The latest development in the case today was the revelation of the operations of "tin box" trust conn pany, formed by Worthington. French, Harshman and four others. one of whom is now dead in Mis- souri.
 A certified check for s5o,ooo pur- porting to have been signed by Davis, offered to the Missouri secre- tary of state as the assets of the com pany. and on the strength of it a charter obtained. The check. &C., cording to Colonel Clinnin was then replaced by one of Daysr $so.0oo notes.
