The Colorado statesman., 1923-01-13
Recommends New Insane Hospital.

After recommending Improvement
of the state hospital for the insane
mt Pueblo, the creation of a new hos
pital and the site of the state home FOR
mental detectives at Ridge, Governor
Sweet summed up his message to the
Legislature as follows:
Il am convinced that you have come
here with only the welfare OF the
state and it's people impressed on your
hearts, and that you will give IL the
many grave problems confronting the
state the earnestness, the serious
thought and the untiring efforts which
they demand 1 feel sure there Will
be no attempt through the practice of
partisan politics to block the passage
ot those measures which are so greatly
needed to bring a larger degree OF
prosperity and well being to the people
of Colorado"
The Colorado statesman., 1923-01-13

ton can only provide the method and
point the way-the furmer himself
must act. firmly believe that all
our people are anxious for the sue
cess of our farmers, but it remains fer
the farmer to avail himself of every
means provided for his benefit"
Enactment of II blue sky law Ito
protect the investing public from the
frauds and Misrepresentation OF
wildcat speculutions," was recon-
mended. Governor Sweet also said
that the rigid enforcement of the pro-
hibition law was one of the primary
obligations of the state, and called for
an appropriation sufficient to make
such enforcement possible.
To Abolish Ranger Organization.
The ranger question was dismissed
briefly by the new executive. VINO
called for the repeal of the law ere
ating the ranger organization, which
he said had created an overlapping
of duty, II divided assumption of au-
thority, an absence of cooperation, n
lack of efficiency and heavy burden
upon our already overburdened tax
payers" Enforcement of the laws, a.
said, should rest with the sheriff's
and constables, backed by the Ma
tional Guard and, if necessary, by the
army of the United States.
Economy to Be Watchword.
There is a necessity for economizing
in all state departments, including the
military, Governor Shoup said, adding
that while he believed in the National
Guard and wished to make it efficient,
he did not favor compulsory military
training or such preparations as would
foster the war spirit.
1.-The people of Colorado have placed
me in charge of their military forces
for the next two years." he said. 81
shall see that life and property are
protected. l am confident that the
members of the National Guard will
stand behind me, and L shall encour-
age the guard in every way and urge
our citizens to give It their moral and
material support"
Amendments to the direct primary
law which would make it more useful
will be looked upon with favor by
Governor Sweet, he said, although he
deprecated any attempt which might
be made to repeal the law.
Prompt ratification of the Colorado
river compact was called for by the
new executive, who suggested possible
extension of the compact principle to
other interstate streams, and who
urged continued appropriations for the
protection of the states water inter
ests.

FORD'S MOTOR
PLANT Is LARGEST
In THE WORLD
10000 Men Turn Out 5000
Cars Daily.

Detroit, May s.-The Highland
Park plant of Ford Motor Company,
where 5000 Ford cars are assembled
each day, is the largest individual
motor plant in the world today It
covers a total of nearly 300 acres
of which 1913 are under roof.
A trip through this plant is most
intreilting, as we'll as educational,
and such a tremendous daily produc-
tion produces figures of staggering
proportion.
The manufacture of 6,000 cars
daily means that in the motor assem-
Bile department 5000 motor blocks
are assembled, $4,000 connecting
rods, $4,000 valves and necessary
mechanical materials, the installation
of $4,000 main motor bearings, with
other production figures in the same
ratio. Each of these parts is sub
jected to exacting balance and micro
meter tests.
so, 900 Workers.
At this plant 10000 men are en-
ployed, working in eight hour shifts
six days a week on "a hour day
basis.
The most interesting of the allied
plants of the Highland Park group is
the glass factory where there is
never-ending flow of molten glass
from the furnace mouth at which it
is rolled out and slipped along in
465 foot ribbon to the cutting end
where it is cut into lengths and sent
to the polishing machines. In the
plant the work on top material goes
on increasingly and tops and upholst-
cry are cut and sewed by hand into
proper parts.
From all departments the various
finished parts emerge upon endless
conveyors and are carried to the
assembly lines and their movement
is so synchronized that each unit
arrives at the proper point in exact
ratio to the manufacturing need.
These parts are assembled by ex-
pert workmen each performing his
specific operation as the motors are
carried along on constantly NOV
ing conveyor until they come out
completed at the end in the same
manner the motors come to the final
assembly line where cars and trucks
are completed.
There they are mounted on the
chassis and started so that experts
may pass upon the ignition action
and other mechanical operations as
they are conveyed along the line to
be turned out. complete and leave
the final station under their own
power.

HAMMER MURDERESS
ADMITS HER IDENTITY
Clara Trying to ''Vamp" Way
Out of Honduran Jail,

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, May g.
The woman held in Jail here on su-
spicion of being Clara Phillips is the
hammer murderess. / saw her today
and she Is the same woman I in
terviewed in the county Jail in Los
Angeles during her trial for the slay-
ing Of Albert Meadows.
She was dressed in almost the
same manner as she was during most
of her tenure in her Los Angeles cell.
In her big picture hat and trim
fitting suit, she was the same nom
chalant, clever, keen-eyed sensation-
al Jail breaker.
Next to the Identification of Clara,
herself, the outstanding development
of my arrival was the recognition of
the fugitive slayer's woman eompan-
ion.
She is Mrs. Eta Jackson, Clara's
"baby sister,"
Clara has not lost any of her will
ingness to flee jails.
Today she and her sister, made two
desperate attempts to break out of
the Tengucicalpa city prison, where
they are being held,
Also Jess C, Carson, travelling COM
panion of Mrs. Phillips and her sister,
in a penitentiary cell near here, tried
to win his way to freedom today.
Trying to "Vamp Officials"
Both women are "dolled-up" in
their best finery and are doing their
utmost, 1t Is said, to "vamp" every
body who stands in their way to
liberty, Their intended victims up-to-
date men who have received most of
their attention are the Honduran
minister of war, and the guards of
her jail. But little attention has been
paid to the women.
Clara Is wearing no disguise and
makes no pretense at any.
She came here directly from San
Salvador.
Clara is still carefully concealing
the exact details Of her escape from
the Los Angeles Jail, believing that
there might still come an opportunity
to make her get away or in failing
in this, to use the information re-
garding her flight from the Jail in
order to gain liberty when she is re-
turned to American soil,
"When ! tell the details Of my es-
cape from the Los Angeles Jail, the
story will startle California" Clara
declared to me. Perhaps they won't
want me so bad thenp she added
significantly.

HENRY FORD IS
NOW WORLDS
RICHEST man Nj
Report Shows $536, ,351 ,93e
Assets, $159, SOS, ,6S7 Cash

New York, May 5.-"The Street"
has generally agreed today that
Henry Ford is the richest man in the
world, following publication yesterday
of the Ford Motor Company's state
ment of its financial condition as of
February %, 1928, showing assets of
$536,351, ,939. Actual cash on hand
was $159,6O5,6s7.
The figures were revealed in a
statement filed with the Massachu-
setts commissioner of corporations,
in Boston.
Twenty years ago the Ford Motor
Company was established with a capi-
tai stock of 100000, factory floor
space of less than an acre, and an
average number of employees of 311.
The first year 1,700 cars were built.
Last April z, it was reported the COM
pany had built more than 5000, 900
cars since its organization.
Last February, the statement shows
the profit and loss surplus was $685.
777,598. Wall Street estimated net
profits approximately of $119,000,-
900, equivalent to more than $500 a
share on the 172,465 shares of $10O
par value capital stock outstanding,
which Henry Ford and son Edsell,
own outright. Wall Street further es-
timated that the Ford fortune totals
something between 5000, ,000,0 900 and
$3.50, 100000.
Ford is said to replace John D..
Rockefeller as the worlds wealthiest
man, the Rockefeller fortune being
depleted to $500, ,000,0 900 by the oil
mans various gifts, estimated, in
round numbers at 100000, 900.
Andrew Carnegie's wealth one to-
tailed an estimated $500, ,000,0 900; the
Marshall Field estate climbed to
1920, 100000, and the John Jacob
Astor estate was $70,000,0O0.

ANOTHER BLOW TO
PROHIBITION LAWS
Court Holds Doctors Can Pre-
scribe Amy Amount.

New York, May 9.-Federal Judge
Knox today declared void that portion
of the Volstead act which limits the
amount of liquor which a physician
may prescribe and granted an injunc-
ton restraining prohibition enforce
ment authorities from interfering
with the practice of DR.. Samuel w.
Lambert.
Washington, May 9.-Wet lead
ers here were jubilant today over the
decision of Federal Judge Knox in
New York declaring void that part of
the Volstead enforcement act which
limits the amount of liquor which a
physician may prescribe and his grant
OF an injunction restraining the au-
thorities from interfering with a
physician who brought suit on the
issue,
The courts decision was almost
wholly in line with the argument
made by opponents of the volstead
act In Congress when the Willis
Campbell provision to limit physicians
prescriptions was enacted. The argu-
ment made then was that the prohi-
bition constitutional amendment was
directed against the use of liquor for
medicinal purposes.
The anti-prohibitionists believe that
the case will eventually become of
great Importance and they confident
ly expect that the supreme court will
uphold the decision Of Judge Knox.
That the case will reach the supreme
court they have no doubt,
Prohibition leaders while admitting
that the supreme court could pass
separately on separate section Of
the enforcement act, recalled that the
court had upheld the act as a whole
and were hopeful that the Willis
CAMPBELL section IL brought to the
courts attention would also be sus-
tanned.

Miss Durham fffionored
Visited on Birthday by $50 Rel
atives and Friends

One of the greatest birthday
celebrations in the history of
Orange county took place Sum-
day when a company Of about
a hundred and fifty men, women
and children gathered to do hon.
or to Miss Jennie Durham at the
old Durham homestead near An
tioch church, west Chapel Hill.
It was in the nature of a sur
prise party. TIL relatives and
friends of Miss Durham, having
arranged the plot, began to pour
in upon her after the church
services were over. They came
in automobiles and buggies, and
brought their own basket din
ners. The grove about the house
was converted into picnic
ground. Men and women went
first to the porch to greet the
mistress of the place, and then
they circulated about for the
exchange of gossip with one
another. Each group spread its
feast on a porch or out in the
grove.
TIL oldest person present was
Miss Durham's uncle, Kearney
Perry. He had with him two
nephews, two nieces, nine grand
nephews, seven grand-nieces,
three great-great-nieces, two
great-great- nephews, and sew
eral grandchildren.
Among those in the party
were Mr.. a nd Mrs. P. c. Lloyd

HfILILSBORO JAIL
LOSES TENANTS
Prisoners Get Out Of Cells in Mys-
teriOus Manner, But One
Refuses to Go.
BLAME LAID ON SPOON HANDLE

The whole caboodle of prison.
ers in the Hillsboro Jail just
walked out of the place the other
night. That is, all of them ex-
cept one man who preferred the
Jail to liberty and refused to go.
The six who left threatened. to
kill him if he made an outcry
and betrayed them, so he kept
quiet.
How~the jail-breaking was ac-
complished is a mystery. Dep
uty.Sheriff Scott was responsible
for the Jail, but at this partic-
ular time he had left Garland
Crawford in charge. Crawford
says he can't imagine how the
thing happened, but he hears
that one of the prisoners made
a key out of spoon handle.
The cell doors were not
broken open, but were found to
have been unlocked. Each door
has a lock at top and bottom,
one near the floor the other near
the ceiling. There is a hole
through the middle OF the door,
but a man would have to have
an arm three times as long as
that of the lOngest-armed CHM
panzee on record in order to put
his hand through the hole and
reach. either lock.
One of the six fugitives, a
youth named Ward, was brought
Jack to the jail later by his
father; nothing has been heard
Of the other five.
Jail-breaking seems TO be a
popular pastime in Hillsboro. A
month or so ago a negro who cut
jup Cy Lloyd, the cook in Miss
Gates cafeteria in Chapel Hill,
made his escape. A leading
citizen of Hillsboro, talking to
the Weekly's repdrter about
this latest general exodus, re-
called that on one occasion the
whole chain gang left the Jail
without ceremony greatly de-
ranging the road-repairing
schedule.

and the ditching is being i'm

Of course there is an insuffi-

This is a permanent condition,
