SWEEPING INVESTIGATION INTO WOODS REGIME SINCE
 GOING TO MANILA IS ASKED
DUNN DISAGREES WITH KIRKHAM'S OPINION Police Board May Ignore Ruling on Age of
 PatrOImen

Indications were numerous today that the board of police commissioners would ignore the opinion of Corpora tion Counsel John H. Kirkham given to the common council on the author ity of the board to appoint policemen who are more than 35 years old.
 '"The opinion is incorrect" said Chairman David l.. Dunn, Of the po- lice commission. After all, it is only an opinion, it isn't Q law"
 The dispute between the common council and the police commission hinges on whether the latter body has authority to appoint to the regular force men past 35. the age limit set by the council. Three men who have passed their 35th birthday have been appointed.
 No meeting Of the police board has been called to discuss the opinion but the statement by Chairman Dunn is interpreted as meaning that no action will be taken to dismiss the men who, the corporation counsel rules, have been appointed illegally.

By The Associated Prose.

By InE AHbottAtfu fItsAs
 Detroit. Mich. Dec. 2o.-Henry Fords statement announcing that he will not. oppose President Coolidge, 'op any ticket whatever" still was rebounding in Michigan political cir cles today.
 Republicans, headed by Governor .Groesbeck and Burt D. Cady, chair man of the republican state central committee. were exuberant, and dem ocrsts including A. R. Garfield, sec- retary of the state central committee. James W. relme. who filed Ford petitions and Edward Trensdorf, dem acratic ''wheelhorse," tempered dis appointed with relief at the clarafica- ton of the political atmosphere.
 The coterie of third party sponsors in some cases were inclined 10 go ahead with It's plans despite Mir. Ford's statement, while others indi- cated that the Ford statement settled it.
 Reverend William Dave, of Dear born, where Mir. Ford lives president of the original Ford for President club, has taken the latter view. He believes the club now has nothing to do but wind up it's affairs.
 Robert R. Pointer. neigbbor and friend of the automobile manufsctur- CT, said third party plans would go on, despite Fords announcement.

 REBEL ADVANCE IS HALTED
ADVERSE REPORT ON
 FARLEY IS ORDERED
Commerce Committee Will Oppose Him as Shipping
 Board Chairman

Washington, Dec. 20.--The nomina- ton of Edward P. Farley as chairman of the shipping board will be report ed adversely to the senate under a decision today by the commerce committee.
 The committees action was based entirely, members said, upon provi- sions of the law which allot only one member of the board to states touch- ing on the Great Lakes. Mir. Farley is from Chicago, and the Lakes sec ton already is represented by Com missioner T. V. O'Connor, of Buff falo.
 By its action the committee over ruled President Coolidge's contention that senate confirmation of A. D. Lasker of Chicago as board chairman in 1921 constituted a precedent for similar approval of the Farley nom ination. At the time of Mir. Lasker's nomination also there was another member sitting on the board from the Lake states.
 Mir. Farley now is serving under a recess appointment by President Harding.
 The vote in the committee against Mir. Farley was said by members to be unanimous. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, announced he would ask that the nomination be considered in open session when it was brought be- tore the senate.
 Favorable reports were ordered by tho committee on tho nominations of Frederick I. Thompson of Alabama and Bert F.. Haney of Oregon, re- appointed as members of tho board.
