 Dearborn Independent.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The petition in a 5 million dollar damage suit against Henry Ford and his paper, the Dear born Independent, was filed in circuit court today by Morris Gest, theatrical producer, who alleged that an article in the Independent January 22, i291, contained 'libelous, slanderous and false statements" concerning MT. Gest and certain stage productions he has handled.
 The article mentioned in the suit was said to have attacked "Aphrodite ' and Mecca" in particular, terming them the "most salacious spectacles ever shown in America"
 The article that was alleged to have been libelous was quoted in the peti- tion. 1t asserted that the American stage was under the influence and control of group of former boot blacks, newsboys, ticket speculators. prize ring habitues and Bowery char acters."
 After saying that "Mr. Gest stalks before his fellow Jews as the most successful producer of the year" the article declared Mir. Gest was not n great producer, but a great pander to a public whose taste he has been no mean factor indebasing.n

SUPREME COURTS
 TASK TOO GREAT
Chief Justice MeCulloch Reviews Situ- ation in Address to Joint Assembly --15 Cases q Week Limit of Hu-
 man Capacity.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-Chief Justice McCulloch addressed the joint assem- ply of the House and Senate yesterday afternoon on the work of the Supreme court. He disclaimed any intention of influencing the lawmakers on pending legislation but said that he thought it only just to all concerned that they should be given information relative to the work being done by our high est court.
 He said that 16 years ago there was an average of $50 cases annually and at that time the court was several years behind with it's work. By an extraordinary effort it had caught up with the docket but the natural growth of the state had resulted in more than doubling the volume of business handled by the Supreme court and in 1916 there were 766 cases. During the war there was a considerable fall. ing off in litigation but since the war conditions are returning to what they were five years ago and he predicted that in a short time the court would again be considerably behind in the docket He said that by working day and night seven days in the week and all the year except a few weeks during the summer, the five judges are able to dispose of 15 cases a week, beyond that they are physic- ally unable to proceed. In 1916 the court delivered SIS written opinions. No oral opinions are handed down by this court, neither has it resorted to the expedient adopted by the courts of some other states of turning over cases to one man to decide. No case is decided that has not the concur renee of at least three members of the bench. Judge McCuiloch submitted the proposition that in view of these conditions some relief should be pro vided and that at the earliest possi- ble date if the interests of the people are to be conserved by providing the means of the most deliberate action on the part of the Supreme court. At the conclusion of his address vote of thanks was rendered him for the in- formation brought to the Assembly.

tBy International News SerNIce.1 D
 Dillon, Mont, Feb. 2.-For the first time in the history of the Montana livestock. commission a colt has been born to mare mule.
 Veterinary surgeons, horse breeders and producers of heavy work stock have scoffed at the predictions of the owner. but he now has the proof and Dr. W. J. Butler, state veterinary sur geon, has upheld the owner of the mare and colt, in his statement that such freak of nature is possible.
 Dr. Butler said that there are sev- eral instances in books on veterinary medicine in his office where this rare reproduction is mentioned. "It is the first time according to the records in this office that 8 mare mule has given birth to a colt sired by horse, and is just one more instance of the wealth of knowledge which science lacks"
 The state veterinary surgeon, who was for years with the United States department of animal husbandry, is making personal investigation of the mule colt and it's antecedents and will have the data compiled for the use of horse breeders and veterinary sur geons turnout the United States.
 The colt was born on a farm near this city and the owner has asked that his name be withheld because q don't want to be plagued with flood of fool questions" Dr. Butler, however, is leading the van of inquiring friends with questions fairly popping out of his head.

SICK CAN HAVE ALL
 THE WINE THEY NEED
Attorney General Leaves It Up to the Conscience of the Doctor Att
 tending Patient.


 Washington, Feb. 1.-The amount of hard liquor a sick man may ac- quire legally is definitely fixed by statute, but the only limit to the amount of wine he may obtain is the "sound and honest" judgment of his physician and, perhaps, the depth of his purse.
 Prohibition Commission Kramer, in a formal announcement today, says there seemed to be some confusion as to the quantity of wine that phy- sician may prescribe. To clear up all doubts he lays down this rule:
 Until further orders, physicians may prescribe in their practice such quantities of wine as they, in the ex- ercise of their sound and honest judg- ment, deem necessary in the particu- lar case, if they in good faithe believed that the use of wine as medicine by by the person for whom it is pre- scribed is necessary and will afford relief to him from some known ail- ment."
 Mir. Kramer warned that physicians should use extraordinary care" not to abuse "the right given them" and state directors were told to guard this matter most carefully to the effect that the said privilege be not abused bv any physician"

HARDING WOULD
 CUT ARMAMENT
New President Expected to Cali "Arms-at-Rest' Meeting-W Germany Crushed, World Peace
 Is Made Safe.

Washington, Feb 4.--An interna- tional conference to discuss disarma- ment will be called by the United States. Chairman Butler of the house naval committee said today when the committee met to hear the views of prominent naval officers on the sub ject.
 Chairman Butler did not say when the call would be issued, but from his line of questioning of witnesses it was assumed he thought the call would be issued soon after the inaug- uration of President-elect Harding. Mir, Butler recently conferred with Mir. Harding at Marion.
 Rear Admiral William $. Sims, war time commander of Americas over seas naval forces, was the first wit ness examined by the committee. With Germany's power crushed, Admiral Sims said, all nations could reduce their naval armaments by half with safety. He added that he believed the nations would welcome a call for a disarmament conference.
 Congress must determine national policies before naval officers can form ulate naval plans, the admiral said, adding that until he knew what those policies where he would not say wheth- CT the United States could afford to have navy second to any other. If the navy were maintained purely for defensive purposes, Admiral Sims said, the United States would be safe with a navy half as large as that of any possible enemy thousands of miles auav

Washington, Feb. S.--Failure to provide safe and adequate hospital facilities for sick and wounded world war service men provoked another sharp debate today in the senate. Of fering bill to appropriate $30,O0O,- 900 for new beds, Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, said he acted at the instance of number of senators who were determined that action should be had at this session.
 Congress" he said, 'may postpone consideration of tariff legislation and even the general appropriation bills until the next session, but it mast re- deem it's obligations to former ser vice men, thousands of whom might be relieved from affiictions and in- juries which threaten them with life long suffering and premature death"
 Senator Smoot. Republican, Utah, pointed out that the appropriations committee had amended the civil sun dry bill so as to provide fuadssfor five new hospitals and to enlarge existing ones.

VIENNA GIRLS ARE
 LEARNING TO SEW
American Red Cross Starts Campaign Among School Girls to Teach
 Them Domestic Art.

3S lDleEnaIlonal NcWS SeTNlCe.l
 Vienna, Feb 2.-For the past five years the schoolgirls of Austria, whose education previously in the household arts was one of their proudest pos sessions, have been entirely without training in this essential woman's equipment With the acute shortage of food turnout the country and with the eager acceptance of food when it was available in any condition in which it could be had, cooking had be- come almost lost art as far as the young women are concerned. With cloth, wool and yarn almost unob- tainable many girls have been turned out into the world to take their places as the future housewives of the coun- try without any knowledge of knit ting or sewing.
 The ignorance of these girls in the domestic arts has been especially keenly felt, as it renders them almost useless as factors in the solution of the country's keenest problems-the feeding and clothing of the poor and needy. To remedy this situation an educational campaign has been start ed among the schoolgirls of Vienna to restore competence in these neglected arts.
 Red Cross Directs 1t.
 The campaign was undertaken by the authorities at the suggestion of the American Red Cross, which in it's relief work in the city found that the girls were burden on the community without being able to make what might be their most useful contribu- tion to the general need. To encour- age this undertaking the organization donated to the schools of Vienna suf- fcient supply of wool and cotton yarn to enable every girl to learn knitting and sewing with the understanding that all articles produced are to be distributed among the most needy families for use during the coming winter.
 In this way the Red Cross expects to increase it's supply of warm gar ments for the city's poor and at the same time render a valuable service toward the making of the future Aus trian home
