REVEALED IN DEATH
Mayor Rose to Riches From
JaiI-KiIled Self When

IRVINGTON, N J.. October 13.--
The tragic story of a man who erred
in his youth. paid the penalty and
then set out to regain the respect he
early folly once more brought to life,
was unfolded yesterday when the
prosecutor began an investigation
into the motives that prompted the
suicide on September IS of Mayor Ed
ward r. Folsom of Irvington.
1t was in Hammondsport, y. Y,
that the story began. Folsom's fam
lily was poor. The girl he loved was
the daughter of the wealthiest man in
town. Her father refused to accept
The boy was desperate. He forged the
wealthy mans name to several
checks and later was caught red
handed robbing a bank.
Pardoned by Roosevelt.
His sentence was ten years at hard
labor in Auburn prison, but the late
Theodore Roosevelt, then governor
pardoned him after three years had
been served. in response to petition
of HammondSport citizens, headed
by the girls father.
Folsom and the girl were married
then, but they decided to move away
and start life anew. They came to
Irvington, where Folsom established a
business, won his way into many
friendships and prospered. He was
elected mayor and his work in civic
and church affairs was praised by all
who knew him.
Then came the dark cloud tnat cast
a shadow over the man who had erred
in his youth. Some (his son says the
prosecutor has their names) who knew
his past confronted him with the facts
and demanded blackmail.
Paid All He Had.
At his death it was believed the
mayor had little left of the fortune he
had built up through hard work. II
was said he had paid $4,000 in the
past twelve months alone to keep the
secret The blackmail began about
three years ago.
And on September 26 he died. At
first it was believed he had died from
an accidental dose of a sed ltive. Then
it was learned he was suicide.
The investigation unfoldei the facts
of his life, and his wife, who has been
with him and known of all his trials
since he was released from prison, de-
clares she knows those who took his
fortune for his secret.

Ford Shoals Charges Reckless,
Saws Weeks IN Formal Denial
No Opposition to Offer, But Protection of
Public His Only Interest, Declares Sec
retary, Hinting Defense in Court.

Declaring Henry Ford's statement
attacking him in connection with the
sale of the Gorgas steam power
plant of the Muscle Shoals project
was filled with reckless assertions"
Secretary Weeks, in formal reply
published today, reviewed at length
the administration course in deal
ing with the Detroit manufacturers
offer for the project. Mr.. Weeks is
sued his statement after twice dis
cussing the matter with President
Coolidge, on the last occasion taking
the prepared statement with him to
the White House.
While beyond his own formal reply
Secretary Weeks refused to com
ment on Mr.. Ford's statement. there
was every indication of feeling OF
keen resentment at the Detroit man
ufacturer's charges that political in
fluences had operated to prevent his
obtaining Muscle Shoals.
The fact that Mr.. Ford declared his
offer to be still open. Secretary Weeks
said. would seem to indicate that
he does not regard the Gorgas steam
plant as necessary to him in the
carrying out of his plan to purchase
and develop Muscle Shoals water
power" for nitrate producing purposes.
For Farm Assistance.
The Secretary in the course of his
statement declared that he had the
"keenest interest in the Development
of air-fiXation of nitrates in assist
ance of the American farmer and in
the adaptability of Muscle Shoals for
this purpose" In the necessary refer
ence of Mr.. FordS offer to Congress,
he said, he had never opposed his Sc
curing the use of the water facilities
there Mr. Weeks statement said il
was possible that Mr. Ford, relying
as he does upon other persons in the
conduct of so many enterprises" was
not himself possessed "of the full
facts" as to the sale of the Gorgas
plant.
"I do not propose" he said, ''to
continue a newspaper discussion of
this subject, but if necessary shall
place all facts before proper trI-
bunal."
There was every indication that Mr..
Weeks felt strongly on the charge that
political inuence working through him
had prevented the Detroit manufactur-
er from obtaining Muscle Shoals. Dur
ing the day he twice discussed the
situation with President Coolidge, the
last time after he had prepared his
answer which he carried with him
to the White House.
Calls Attack Personal.
The full text of Secretary Weeks
statement follows:
"Mr. Ford this morning delivered
personal attack upon me in connec-
ton with the conduct of the admin
istration in relation TO Muscle Shoals.
His statement is filled with reck-
less assertions.
1T may be that Mr.. Ford, relying
as he does upon other persons in the
conduct Of so many enterprises, prob
ably is not himself possessed of the
full facts of the situation. For the
benefit of those who do not fully un-
derstand the problems involved / shall
briefly review the subject.

SURVEY TO DECIDE
PLAYGROUND NEEDS
School Association Will Seek
Additional Recreation
Sites.

A survey to determine school play
ground needs. both as to equipment
and land, and discover available sites
made by the recreation committee of
the District Public School Association,
it was decided at meeting last night
in the wilkins building.
The committee voted to back to the
limit both the municipal and school
playground items included in the Dis
tricts estimates for the next fiscal
year.
An astonishing lack of space for
children in the most congested sec
tions was reported by the committee.
Much school playground apparatus is
In need of inspection and repair. Ben
Murch, supervising principal, said,
and the committee viii consult the
District engineering department and
playground department officials to
have regular inspection OF school
apparatus and instruction to school
janitors in the best methods of in
specting and caring for it.
For Regular Inspections.
Mr.. Murch said last week orders
went from the superintendent of
schools to all school janitors to make
regular inspections of swings, flying
rings and other paraphernalia.
1t was reported the District is now
being sued by a parent of a Bruce
School lad whose arm was broken
| when a swing chain came apart. IN
! mittee to get behind school budget
items was indorsed. At. Mr.. Murch's s
suggestion 1t was also determined

about a half million will go for pur-
chase of Fairgrounds adjacent
schools. but the municipal items will
carry big appropriation for super
vision.
Report of playground activities in
other cities showed the District far
behind, Mrs. J. IN. Rischoff said. She
| has made appeals to women's clubs
throughout the country to urge their
representatives and senator's to deal
justly by the Districts children.
]. G.. Yaden asked that a committee
be appointed to call on Supt Ballou
and Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, super
visor OF Fairgrounds. to determine
what items of the budget the citizens
| should push.
Let me tell you," he said, Con
gress is fast coming to the point

|DYE PATENT SUIT
ARGUMENTS END
Both Sides Given 3 Weeks to
File Briefs-Supreme Court
to Get Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, October "a
Agreement in the governments suit
against the Chemical Foundation, Inc,
for the recovepss- of seized enemy dye
and chemical patents sold to the foun-
dation by the alien property custodian
was concluded last night in federal dis
trict court here. However, each. side
was given three additional weeks in
which to file supplemental briefs. Judge
Morris then will take the matter under
advisement.
Whatever the decision in this court, 1t
is practically certain that the case will
be carried to the United States Su-
preme Court for a final decree. Each
side regards the action as of far~reach-
ing Importance. Government counsel
have contended that the national faith
ard credit is involved, while counsel for
the defense have argued that a decree
for the government will result ulti-
mately in the return of the patents to
the Germans and a destruction of the
American chemical industry.
Denies Slur at Wilson.
Argument today was wholly on the
issues of the fact and law involved, but
in opening his address Henry w. An
derson, special assistant to the Attor-
ney General, disclaimed any. intention
on the part of government counsel to
criticize either former President Will
son or former Acting Secretary of State
Polk in connection with the transfer of
the patents. Referring to a claim of
such criticism by defense counsel, Mr..
Anderson called attention that a Spe-
cific disclaimer of any such intention
was contained in the governments
brief.
I'VE intended to Indicate" he said,
that the matter was an error of law
and to explain how any error of law
Will arise even among men of the
highest character and caution. There
was no intent to reflect in any way
upon the President"
Mr.. Anderson amended certain sec
tions Of the governments brief to
correct statements claimed by the de-
Tense to be erroneous. With respect
to the assertion in the brief that A.
Mitchell Palmer, former Attorney
General, had deliberately perverted
to selfish ends" a trust with which he
was charged while alien property
custodian, Mr.. Anderson said Mr..
Palmer had imposed conditions in the
sale of the patents which destroyed
their value and had taken steps ito
turn to the advantage of manufac-
turers."
Judge Morris interrupted to inquire
if Mr.. Anderson found any instance
in American history in which similar
with respect to q predecessor in office
The brief was signed by ATTORNEY
General Daugherty.
II assume" Judge Morris said, "the
language was used purposely. and not
used purposely in the absence of full
and convincing evidence which would
warrant its use. / would be glad to
have you take such time as you like
to cite cases constituting a precedent
for such language"

pletion OF the water-power plant,

away on the Warrior river, known as
the Gorgas plant.
The total expenditure on these
properties was about 100000, 900, of
which less than s5.000.00O was spent
upon this isolated and temporary
steam plant. The steam plant was
erected on the property of the Ala

ute to the land on agreed conditions
which this administration is not re- re-
sponsible and which gave to them
the right to purchase the Gorgas

In the meantime the Alabama

in the old contract, notified the gov
ernment that the lands must be va
Gated on or before October 15 this
year. They offered to pay $4,000. 900
for this comparatively small item of
the whole equipment The govern
ment had an option. to accept this
offer, which was the highest made,
or to salvage this plant as second
hand machinery, and from which they
could not have realized more than
sl,000,000. On the other hand, it must
be borne in mind that for this single
! item in the entire equipment the gov
ernment has secured s3,500,000, as
against the $5,000,000 offered by Mr.
Ford for the entire plant and equip
ment.

AT the time of the sale, in a de-

was so wished. Mr.. Ford's declared
