FORD PLANT RESUMES,

The Ford Motor Plants. Shut
down or TIE 10th because of coal
supply, have resumed work. Mr..
FORD issued the following inter
view:
"Iell the people of the whole world
you cam" Mr.. Ford said to his in
tervicwcr, that if they would save
money they should not buy coal i'm
any great amount now. Tell them
TO buy only enough to get along on.
Tor coal prices are tllmbling and
they will go much lower. They
VIII have opportunity, later on, to
get their winters coal much more
cheaply." MIR Ford arranged for
an ample supply of fuel for the Ford
plants for the next 60 days.
There is enough coal above
ground to run thc country for a
long time" Mr.. Ford said. "Thc
high prices were made because the
supply was held back from the
market. But the price is alling
rapidly. We bought 800 cars of
coal in Toledo for 50 Il ton. That of
course, includes the freight rate
from the mines to Toledo. Before
spring comes you'll see coal sell for
a good deal below SO Il ton"

Nor DISARMlNG,

Scrappins of naval armaments
has been halted and indefinitely
postponed, a high navy official has
announced. This government fears
mat Great Britain may find it nee
cssary TO withdraw from the agree
mentS, altogether, he added. Not
until the world gets on Il real peace
footing, it was stated, is there a
likelihood that the powers will con-
sent TO weaken their naval strength
III any way. The factors responsible
for the situation are stated as the
Near East war, the instability in
general and the fact that neither
France nor Italy liaS ratified the
agreement reached at Washington.
While the other powers are fully
armed ii was given as the adminis-
tration policy that the United States
will not in any way weaken her de-
fenSeS.

TARIFF PASSES.

Final legislative action on the
tariff act of 1922 was taken with
the adoption of the conference re-
port by the Senate on Tuesday. The
measure went to the President and
became effective after ne signed it.
The Senate vote was 43 to % and
came exactly one year, eight months
and thirteen days after work was
started on what will be the first Re
publican protective tariff law in
nearly ten years.
Five Republicans voted against
The conference report and two DEM
CcratS Supported it.
Rates ia some of the schedules
are declared to be the highest in
the history of American tariffs
while those in other schedules are
estimated to be lower than in any
other protective act. In the high
est class are placed sugar, raw wool
SILK, laccS and embroidcricS, cut
lery, agricultural products and pro-
visions and dyes, synthetic chemi-
Gals, mcdicinalS and other products
OF coal tar. This bill marks a dis
tinct departure in American tariff
making, in that the President is
given broad authority over taxes
at the customs houses. Under in
VeStigation he may increase or de-
crease any rate in this bill by fifty
Fer cent should that be necessary
TO equaliZe the difference in the cost
OF production ut home and abroad.

MRS. HALL MAKES PROTEST.
Wants State Official to Investigate KILL

NEW BRUNSWICK. y. J., Oct IL
ASSERTING that Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall and her family cannot longer be
silent regarding the food of false rumors
centered on them in the double murder
of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills. Timothy
\. Pfeiffer, Mrs. Halls attorney, last
night requested Governor Edwards TO
place the ipvestigat ton exclusively in the
bands of a competent, fearless officer of
the state.
The lawyer made public a letter to the
governor criticising severely the tactics
of the present county investigators and
the conflict between them.
The atmosphere of New Brunswick
is charged with every sort of rumor that
political prestige, money and official
prestige have been made use of by Mrs.
Hall and her family to hinder and delay
the administration of justice in this
case" Pfeiffer wrote. In the mind of
the public, Mrs. Hall Is held responsible
for the present impossible condition of
affairs. In truth, il is due to the bung
ling stupidity of the officials of these two
counties. and now the evidence is unmis-
taxable that the authorities of the one
county are at odds with the authorities
of the other county. with the efforts of
the state troopers. standing between the
two. rendered abortive."
