FORD BID GETS
LINCOLN MOTOR
CONPAN PLANT
rRepubIIcan a. p. Leased wIre1

DETROIT, Feb. 4.--Henry Ford
formally, came into possession of the
Lincoln Motor Company of Detroit
late today, when Federal Judge Tut
tie, confirmed sale Of the property,
effected at public auction this
morning.
Mr.. Ford, through his representa-
tives, bid $8,000,000 for the Lincoln
holdings, being the only one to offer
a bid. The price was the lowest
that could be accepted, Judge Tuttle
had ruled previously.
Expected opposition to Mr.. Ford s
plan to purchase the company failed
to develop.
Both George n. Judson, local
banker and Z. T. Berger, Detroit
attorney, who yesterday qualified as
bidders by filing certified checks for
s250,o00 each in federal court, an
nounced their withdrawal shortly be-
fore the sale took place.
Berger announced he withdrew
upon advise of his New York clients.
Mr.. Judson would make no state
ment regarding his withdrawal.
Edsel Ford, president OF the Ford
Motor Company, announced that the
Lincoln plant, closed for some time
pending the sale, would reopen Mon
day in the event the sale was con-
firmed in court
Announcement that Mr.. Ford was
the only bidder caused a break in
the price of Lincoln stock on the
local stock exchange, the shares de-
clining from point slightly under
Sc to SO. A rally later brought it
to $3.50, where it remained when
the market closed.
Although the Lincoln plant will be
operated as a unit of the Ford or
ganization, the Lincoln will continue
under the direction of Henry NJ. and
Wilfred o. Leland.
The Detroit Trust Company was
appointed receiver for the company
November on petition Of company
note holders and over the objection
Of President Leland. On that date
the assets of the concern were listed
at $I5,061, ,492.S0. The receiver, after
an appraisal, placed the assets at
$9.073.1O5.46 and the liabilities at
$9,490,S1113.

Delegates Are
Satisfied With
Work OF ParIev
[RepuhIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel


WASHINGTON, Feb. A - The
measure of the success achieved by
the Washington conference can only
be appreciated when 1t is considered
that the conference brought about
the adoption of most important
resolutions and acceptaces of con-
siderable sacrifices, through free
discussion, not through imposition. ;"
Senator Schanzer. head OF the Italian
delegation said in a statement to-
night.
Here was not congress of VIC
tors and vanquished" he said, "but
of states equally independent in their
sovereignty. This new method of
diplomacy, first applied by the United
states, has given excellent results,
and the powers. convened in Wash
ington after patient and friendly dis
cussions agreed to create new guar
antees for the maintenance of world
peace.
NO one can controvert the fact
that the conference at Washington
by eliminating the danger of war in
the Pacific has freed the world from
a most expressing nightmare, since
war in those seas among the great
est naval powers would certainly
have had dire consequences, not only
for the nations at war. but for all
nations of the world"
Baron de Cartier. Belgian ambas-
sador, and arms delegate. made the
following statement tonight concern
Ing the conference:
The Washington conference will
stand forth in history as one of the
epoch making events of the world.
for 1T was inspired by noble motives
or justice and honor Conceived by
the great republic, the United States
of America, through its high minded
chief executive. President Harding
and its illustrious secretary Of state,
Mr.. Hughes, the conference will be
recorded. / believe, as a triumph of
American foresight, courage and ca
pacity in international diplomacy, a
diplomacy founded on Justice and
good will to ALL"
The "educative influence" of the
conference should be
given primary place III the results of |
the meeting, Sir Robert Borden. Can |
adian delegate declared tonight,
Beyond question:" he said, ''the |
practical concrete results that have |
been attained are notable. Even II |
those results had been much less
important / should still hold that it |
was infinitely worth while to have |
called the conference. On the other
hand, If those concrete results had |
been still greater / should have re-
5arded them as Of less vital signifi-
,ance than the educative influence
such a conference is bound to exer-

Theater Manager
Believes Defect
Caused Disaster

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Belief
that some flaw in the structure of
the Knickerbocker moving picture
theater caused its collapse under a
weight Of snow last Saturday night
with more than ninety fatalities, was
expressed today by Harry Crandall,
proprietor of the chain of theaters
which included the Knickerbocker.
Mr.. Crandall is having an indepen-
dent investigation made by engineers
TO determine is possible the cause of
the catastrophe. Mr.. Crandall said
he had no knowledge of any weak
ness in the roof, or any other part Of
the building, and that when a license
to operate the theater was granted
him, all responsibility for its safety
passed to the District of Columbia
officials, but he emphasized that if
It should be shown that he was in
any way responsible for the disaster,
he wanted to be punished.

SALE
TAX To MEET.
BONUS FUNDS.
Majority Leaders StillFavor
Proceeds From Refunded
British Debt To Finance
Adjusted Compensation
IRepubllcan A. ?. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Republi-
can house leaders are understood
virtually to have abandoned the idea
of financing the soldiers bonus bill
by a general sales tax.
Opposition among majority mem
berS, mostly from the middle and far
west, TO a sales tax is said to be so
strong as to threaten defeat of such
a program. The alignment against
1T Is understood to be practically that
which forced acceptance of the fifty
per cent income surtax voted into the
revenue bill by the senate.
Developments at further hearings
today before the house ways and
means committee disclosed that In
spite of Secretary Melons opposi-
ton to the plan a number of the ma
Jority members favor the use OF part
of the proceeds from the refunded
British debt in helping finance the
adjusted compensation.
They believe this would meet with
a greater measure of public approval
than would a program involving the
raising of the entire amount by
special taxes.
Representative Ramseyer, Republi-
can. Iowa, before the committee, op-
posed the proposal, arguing that such
of contract with the holders of Lib.
erty bonds. who he said had been
told in the law adopted by congress
that the proceeds from the foreign
debt would be used to retire the
Liberty bonds issued to raise the
money advanced to the debtor ma
tions.
Chairman McFadden of the bank
ing and currency committee. favored
the financing of the bonus through
the sale in this country of the re-
funded British bonds with the prin@
cipal and interest guaranteed by the
American government as we'll as the
British government. He contended
that with this double guarantee the
bonds would bring a higher price
than would American government Sc
curities sold for the same purpose,
Increased inheritance taxes as
another means of financing the bonus
were advocated by Mr.. Ramseyer,
who said such ta axes could not be
passed on and would not be PEN
atty on initiative and enterprise. He
thought the present return Of $154,-
100000 from this source could be in
creased by $200,000,000 a year with
out imposing any hardships.
Chairman Fordney and some other
tAASAiA'~i9 p VI VIC SoAihAtAttCC 1PPebA ShS-
ly received this suggestion without
but other members indi-
Gated sympathy with it.
Now that the arms conference has
the naval limitation treaty
some committeeman are studying the |
subject OF naval and army reduction |
as zone means OF providing revenue
for the bonus. Because of the cost |
OF scrapping ships on the ways they |
are not certain that the building |
appropriations can be greatly reduced |
in the next fiscal year but it is their |
thought that with many ships now |
afloat consigned to the scrap heap |
the personnel can be cut down |
sharply, effecting considerable !
saving.

"Somebody To See YoMF"

If everybody with something to interest you
should come and ring your bell, what nuisance
it would be- Think of the swarning, jostling
crowd, the stamping of feet on your porch and
carpets!
Every day we know of many callers who come
to see you. They never jangle the bell-they
don't take up your whole day trying to get your
attention. Instead, they do it in way that is
most considerate of your privacy and your con-
venience. They advertise in your newspaper!
In this way you have only to listen to those you
know at glance have something that interests
you. They make it short, too, so you can gather
quickly just what you want to know. You can
receive and hear them all without noise or con-
fusion in comparatively few minutes
In fairness to yourself look over all the adver-
tisementS The smallest and the largest-you
never can be sure which one will tell something
you really want to know.
