TROUBLESOME TARIFF 2
CONFRONTING CONGRESS
(By United PreSs)

Washington, August 2---Once more
congress has shed its coat and tackled
that legislative stumbling block OF
political parties---the tariff. TO pass
a tariff bill and not ruffle somebody's
feelings Is as difficult as petting a
porcupine without getting gated.
Therefore, enacting tariff bill is not
a. favorite congressional indoor sport.
Several senators were signing over
the mournful prospect Of wrestling
with the yexatious subject, when Sem
ator Ashurst of Arizona, remarked
that he regarded the tariff in the
same light as the late Senator Tay-
lor Of Tennessee "Fiddling Bob was
stumping his state and during a
speech a man in the audience arose
and asked, "Gcy'nah, tell us what
you think of the tariff"
T think we ought to pay Off the
tariff and get rid Of it," shot back
the senator. Al

LAW CAN'T RECOGNIZE
EXISTENCE OF "DEAD''
A Man, Legally Executed and
Pronounced Dead, Is Not
Liable to Courts

Chicago, ILL.,, August PA man
legally executed, pronounced dead,
and then revived by means Of a pull
motor, COULD commit any crime
known to law, and not be liable to
prosecution and legal punishment.
The law couldn't recognize his ex-
istence.
He might walk ito the court
room of the judge who sentenced him
and kill the judgel who pronounced
his fate, and no hand could be laid
on him.
On the other hand, he would have
no protection under the law, no mat
ter what offense might be committed
against him.
TKis is one of the phases Of the
legal question that has been brought
up since the attempts to resusctate
into life the bodies Of Sam Cardinella
and Nick Viana, murderers hung here
recently. The law is taking no
chances now, and bodies are being
held several hours by the authorities
after hanging an hour before they are
turned over to the dead mans family.
Chicago jurists are divided over
the status of a person who might be
thus revived.
Judge Hugo Friend and Judge Da-
vbd Brothers take the stand outlined
above.
Assistant State Attorney Lloyd
Heth declared such a complication
would free the man. "He could walk
out of the morgue, and the law
couldn't touch him. But he couldn't
marry and couldn't vote. If he were
beaten up by citizen the citizen
couldn't be punished for anything
more serious than cruelty to animals.
'"There was an old theory that III
the rope broke, the law was fulfilled,
and the man couldn't be hung again, "
said Judge Hairy Fisha'. "That
idea is not according to modern law.
Either he's dead or alive.

MAXWELL REDUCES
Second Announcement Made Of
Price Revision and Compile
ton Of Construction Work

One OF the most m0mentous and
significant announcements which
has come. recently from the motor
car industry, was made yesterday by
Maxwell officials.
It was to the effect that the Max
well reorganization had been COM
pleted with the sale of the proper.
ties to the new organization May IL
and confirmation OF the sale by the
United States district court May IL
and that the first step Of the new or.
ganization was to reduce prices
$3.50 ON all models Of the good Max
well.
This action brings the touring car
and roadster to $S45, the sedan to
$1.545, and the coupe to $1.445.
The Maxwell assets bought In by
the new organisation, includes finely
equipped plants Of great size and
capacity in Detroit, Dayton. Ohio,
Newcastle, Ind, and Windsor, Ont.
Their purchase Is the final step in
the work of reorganization which has
been carried forward by reOrgan-
ization committee headed by Wal
ter p. Crysler. Now that reconstruc-
tion has been completed, the new
organization has placed at its COM
mand $15,OOO,0O0 Of new cash,
which has been held ready for
months awaiting the day when the
new organization should acquire the
properties and assume full control.
The new organization has inc0r-
porated in West Virginia under the
name of the Maxwell Motor Corpor-
atom.
"The action Of the new organiza-
ton in reducing prices" said Arthur
f. Barker, general sales manager
of the Maxwell Motor Sales COrpor-
alton, "has the eeffct of restoring
the low-level prices of three years
ago Since that time, however, the
car has been greatly improved as a
manufactured product. The new
organization, since it took hold late
last summer, has effected further
improvements by lowering costs, by
increasing plant efficiency, and by
betterments in manufacturing meth
DDS.
"The first Maxwell reduction
since the war came last fall, and this
second revision represents total
reduction of 1910 on open cars and
$3.50 on closed cars. The new or
ganization found that it was posi-
BILE to reduce, and did reduce, manu-
featuring costs. 1t felt that the re-
sulting benefit should be passed on
to the public, and has acted accord
ingly. 1t is now in complete pos
session and control of the Maxwell
properties, and its way is clear to
carry out to the full the larger plans
and policies which had already been
applied to the business with great

WOODBINE LEFT OUT
Junction, Sklddy and White City
Got the Reward

A W00dbine correspondent writes
"The reward for the capture Of the
bank robbers Of the WOodbine State
bank, Dec. 0, was recently divided to
Junction City, Skiddy and White
City. This presents a case Of strong
injustice to the WOOdbine boys and
this community. Four Of our young
men went at once in hot pursuit, not
taking time to be properly armed.
They were anxious that the men
not escape. When they forced them
to abandon their car and run to the
timber they still kept their watch
upon them while one phoned for arm
ed assistance, giving location. Our
central gave valuable assistance In
keeping their location and aided the
parties In every direction. Had 1t
not been for the persistent, prompt
and close following of the Wood
bine boys the robbers could easily
have escaped. After such an over
sight of their risk and work they
feel that the committee on rewards
was most unfair in not recognizing
their aid in capture"
The Reflector recently asked the
bankers association to whom the re-
ward was paid but no response was
received. 1t seems to be the inten-
ton to keep It secret.

FORD PRODUCING
1000 CARS A DAY
Present Production Greater Than FoI
Same Period Last Year


Ford is building cars at full speed
And, according to an official state
ment from the factory at Detroit
the demand for Ford cars and trucks
still exceeds the output, despite the
fact that new high level Of pro-
duction has been reached.
BY the first of May the figures
representing daily production were
in the neighborhood Of 1000 day,
so the May schedule was set at
1O1, 1925 cars and trucks, not includ-
ing the output Of the Ford Canadian
plant or any Of the foreign assem-
bling plants. The output mounted
daily, May ~ brought forth 4,092,
the greatest number that have been
produced in one day so far this year.
Since the month has 25 working
days, present indications point to
new high record.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses
the fact that for April, 1921, the
output was greater by 34,514 than
for the corresponding month of
year ago. The output for May, 1921
will probably overshadow May, 1920
by between fifteen and twenty
thousand cars and trucks.
Approximately $4,000 men are at
work in the Detroit plant Of the Ford
