BODY IDENTIFIED
AS FORMER PATIENT
FROM STATE ASYLUM

Colorado Springs, Colo, May e.
The body found at Charter Oak ranch
yesterday was identified today as that
of Christopher Rumohr, so years old.
He was a harmless patient at the
state hospital for the insane at Pue-
bio for fifteen years. He disappeared
from the institution the night before
Christmas. He fled north to the
Charter Oak ranch. where he con-
structed rude shack of mud and
he starved to death. His body was
found propped against a tree by cat
tlcmen. People in that neighborhood
are of the opinion that Rumohr
starved because he was too proud to
beg.
Christopher Rumohr. whose body
was found at the Charter Oak ranch
north of Colorado Springs was COM
mitted to the state hospital in this
city from Denver thirteen years ago.
For the past six years he had been a
trEsty. and permitted to wander about
the grounds at the local institution.
according to the hospital authorities.
He is said to have been harmless
and was permitted to walk in any
part of the hospital grounds he de-
sired. No watch was kept over him,
and 1t is thought that the night be-
fore Christmas he simply walked out
OF the grounds. thru convenient
opening in the fence surrounding the
athletic field.

FORD PAYS OFF LOAN
CASH POSITION GOOD
Wipes Out Bank Obligations In Re
markable Comeback-Expcnse
Cut To Bone.

New York. May 2.-One of the most
remarkable financial comebacks in the
history of the automotivc industry has
been staged. by Henry ord. Only few
weeks ago financial circles in this city
were asserting positively that he would
have to negotiate n large loan at the
banks upon the bankers own terms.
No similar prediction ever was farther
from the actual facts.
Ford not only has been able to avoid
but he has just paid SIS. 900 900 in
notes few days before their matur-
ity. This wipes out the bank obliga-
tions. Besides paying the bank notes
standing against him, Ford has dis
counted his April trade acceptance
cash.
1t is confidently believed that Ford
will have ample cash to meet his trade
acceptances for May. but " he Is un-
able to clean them all up on the due
dates. Detroit banks have agreed to
necessary for brief period. In addi-
ton to meeting his bank loans and
merchandise obligations. Ford paid his
qHarterIy income tax instalmcnt be-
fore II was due
The marvciously rapid turnover in
cash In the Ford treasury for the past
two months has been due In large
measure to the fact that his traffic de-
partment has worked out n plan under
which deliveries which formerly took
eighteen days now are made In eight
days. Increased labor efficiency has
made II possible to operate the plant
at approximately so per cent of ca
paciiy with 50 per cent OF the normal
labor quota. Overhead costs nav. been
cut to the bone. This process has
gone so far MS to discontinue some Of
tho telephone trunk lines which ran
into his factories. and surplus Office
equipment has been sold.
The prices Of all materials used in
tho manufacture of Ford cars have
been substantially reduced. and thi.
has added "A substantial sum in tho
! aggregate to the profit on car sales.
These manufacturing economies were
what finally turned the scales. and
they will permit continued large scale
operations without further financing
except. perhaps. for temporary loans of
| comparatively small sums by Detroit
banks.
The detailed story Of Fords no
sotiations with New York bankers was
told in Automotivc Industries several
weeks ago. Tho facts did not coincide
in any way with tho stories printed
with so much gusto by the financial
publications which seemed to take de-
light in picturinE him as on tho verge
of ruin. Tho only negotiations which
actually werc instituted were on the
most friendly basis. and he could have
any sum nc needed on reasonable in
tcrcst terms without turning over the
control of his factory to bank repre-
sentstivos. He pulled Thru. however.
without any assistance.

LONDON, January 7-Growing Sc
robustness of the unemployment problem
in Great Britain was emphasized to-
day by the action of the unemployed
in tie city of Norwich in availing
themselves of the provisions of the exist
ing poor law and demanding support from
the local guardians" These are the
officials who administer relief to the
needy, charging the cost upon local
taxes.
The guardians" recently decided
not to increase the scale of relief
the taxpayers were unable to afford
it, but the chief of police notified
them he had received 4 communica-
ton to the effect that if help was not
granted the unemployed had deter
mined to use direct action" He de-
disturbance of public order. and I'M
der this threat the guardians yield
ed and doubled the taxes applica BILE
to feeding the poor. IN doing so the
ed it was the first time in the history
of the city that the Police had been
overawed by threats from the unem-
ployed.
Burden Brings Dismay.
The burden thus placed upon the
taxpayers has caused dismay. The
additional taxes will result in a
householder, who pays an annual rent
of $50. paying more than SIC in
taxes. The people OF Norwich de-
clare. It is impossible for them to pay
such taxes. as trade is Stagnant.
The action of the unemployed at
Norwich accords with advice persist
emily given by labor leaders. and fol-
lowed at many places. though with
less serious result than in Norwich.
The Daily Herald, mouthpiece of la
Dor, says:
There is no alternative. The un-
employed are determined not to
starve. and they have proved that in
the poor law they have weapon
to enforce justice. The increased
taxes will be disastrous to thousands
of people. but will compel the adop-
ton of radical measures at Norwich
