DETROIT, September 1.-THE TO-
900 men employed by the Ford Motor
Company here were under orders from
Henry Ford today to leave all forms
of liquor, wine and beer alone at all
times under penalty Of losing their
jobs.
Asserting that drinking among GER
tain of his employees recently had been
the cause Of accidents in the Ford
plants, the manufacturer issued q
statement declaring that any Of his
workmen whose breaths smelled of
liuuor, who were found to be carrying
liouor or who were known to have 1t
in their homes would be dismissed at
once.
"From now on 1t will cost q man
his Job, without any excuse or appeal
being considered, to have the odor
of beer, wine or liquor on his breath
or to have any Of these intoxicants on
his person or in his home" Mr.. Ford's
notice to the employees said.
'The eighteenth amendment IL q

(StaR Corrasuandent of Tha Star


DETROIT, September lit would
seem that one were out of luck. to
be attacked by the selfish financial
interests of Wall street and by the
radical element of the feverish mid
die west at one and the same time,
but this is what Senator Townsend
alleges is happening to him in his
fight for denomination. These dis
patches have already told of the
"wrecking crew" of the radicals of
other states sent into Michigan to
fight Senator Townsend. Their pres
ence is admitted, their object frankly
stated and their names given.
Now Senator Townsend is out in a
statement saying that business and
banking interests of New York.
known to be opposed to the great
fakes-St. Lawrence waterways plan.
of which Senator Townsend is the
chief advocate, are fighting him and
circumstantial evidence that they are
supporting one of his opponentA
Candidate Patrick Kelley.
Pamphlets From New York,
In the last few days the state has
been flooded with pamphlets mailed
from New York City entitled "Fal-
lacies of the St. Lawrence waterways
scheme" Senator Townsend's state
ment says that "it is significant to
find in this literature a resume of
interviews and warning in opposi-
ton to the deep waterway project
issued recently by selfish New York
interests including men high in New
York shipping, railroad, banking and
political world and in particular the
central mercantile association and
the united real estate owners of New
York"
Senator Townsend has branded this
literature as inspired propaganda
designed to deceive the people of
Michigan. and points out the signifi-
canoe which attaches to the time
chosen for the circulation of it In
Michigan. just prior to the senatorial
primary.
Goes Into Personalities.
Then he goes into personalities and
says:
"It is Of interest to call attention
to the fact that two Of the most
prominent supporters of the candi-
dacy of Representative Kelley are
on record as being rabidly opposed
to the building Of this great water
way. Ex-Gov. Chase s. Osborn. in
speeches made in this state in be-
half Of Mr.. Kelley. has repeatedly

D. c. LICENSE LAW
IS CHANGED AGAIN
Senate Amends Measure to
Provide Better Method of
Collecting Taxes.

A bill amending the tax and license
laws of the District Of Columbia so as
to provide for better administration
was passed by the Senate today. The
first section of the bill provides for
fixing the status Of the sixth assistant
assessor as a member Of the perma-
nent board of assistant assessors.
It is also provided that the board
of personal tax appeals shall con-
vene on the first Monday in January
of each year instead of the first Mon
day in February. This is made nee
essary by reason of an amendment
to the original law made On Marcn
8, 1917, requiring personal tax books
to be placed in the hands Of the col
lector of taxes by April 1 of each year.
Another section of the bill defines
who are residents of the District of
Columbia for the purposes Of taxation
and assessment. Certain persons who
live in the District practically all the
year, but who are voting residents in
various states have claimed exemption
from taxation, although the corpora
ton counsel of the District has ad-
yised that they are taxable in this ju-
risdiction. The bill exempts members
Of Congress and of the cabinet.
Another section of the bill changes
existing law by providing that new
buildings and improvements on land
shall be assessed every six months
instead of every twelve months. This
proposed change Is important, as
large apartments require considerable
time for erection and they are built
in such a way that the roof is put on
after the building has been three
fourths completed.
Under the bill phrenologists are to
pay a license tax.
Another section of the bill Is de-
signed to aid the assessor of the Dis
trict in the collection of data relating
to the true consideration in the sales
of real estate. The proposed legisla-
tion requires Information as to the
true consideration to be given the
grantee or his authorized agent, but
requires that such information shall
be confidential.
