WHEAT, OATS DOWN
Corn Higher at Opening in

I ICHiCAGo, July 80. Wheat

than the previous close here today.
Corn was Il to n cent higher, and
oats opened Is cent lower. Prices
were expected to be erratic during
the session.
This is the last day for trading in
July grain grain futures, and there
is some belief that when this de-
livery is disposed of, prices will seek
higher levels.
Liverpool cables were firmer than
expected, but did not play part
here. When the July future is elm

entirely on the spring wheat crop
for it's price trend.
Cool nights in the corn belt were

Oats suffered from liquidation in

BIZ United Press

By UHtte0 PfeSS
DETROIT, July 80. - Healthy,
wealthy and happy, Henry Ford to-
day celebrated his 64th birthday
preparing for the struggle reported
imminent between him and the
powerful General Motors Corpora
ton.
Friends of the billionaire said he
was almost ready for his last offens-
i've in the automobile industry. After
the battle is fought, they believed,
Ford will turn his genius and re-
sources to the making of airships,
which he said recently, will shrink
the world into a peaceful neighbor-
hood where service will be the rul-
ing passion of mankind"
Faces Fight of Life
But before he retires from the
field in which he rose from a poor
farm boy to the position of the
worlds richest man, Ford is going
to produce an entirely different car
from his previous machines and
meet in the open market the foes
who have forced him recently to
curtail production to relatively
nothing.
Ford will run the new cars out
of his great factories at the rate of
1000 or more a day and fight to
outsell his rivals.
Ford does not think automobile
production has reached the satura-
ton point and there were indica-
tions today that he was almost
ready for the fight to begin.

ask Stephenson about and when ne
relayed this to the prisoner he indi-
Gated willingness to give the inior-
nation.
Stephenson wore the same bluo
suit he had on when he was here
last fall. He wore gray cap. He
was not handcuffed. Friday he re-
fused an offer of his attorney at
Michigan City to buy him a new
suit, according to the lawyer.
This is the first of Stephenson's
three trips outside the prison that
he has not been accompanied by
Guard p. j. Mcdonald. Mcdonald
was killed in an automobile acci-
dent three months ago.
Last Here in 1926
Stephenson's other visit to this
city, since he was sentenced to
Michigan City for murder. was on
Oct. 13, 1926. when he appeared be-
fore the first grand jury engaged in
investigation of Indiana political
corruption under his regime as
Grand Dragon of the X. K. K. and
self-styled "the law in Indiana"
At that time political campaign
was in progress and many officials
were panicky at the mere mention
of "Steve." Every effort was made
to keep the newspaper men away
from him.
His appearance was brought about
by Judge Sidney S. Miller of Su-
perior Court Three, who ordered
him into court to testify as a stock
holder of the defunct Hoosier
Tailors Inc.
Trip Secret One
Warden Walter DAILY of the prison
at first refused Judge Millers order.
Then it was decided to bring the
former Dragon here and let him ap-
pear before the grand jury before
going into Miller's court.
The trip was made by automo-
bile, amid secrecy and many guards.
Upon arrival here, Stephenson was
taken to the county jail while
Sheriff Omer Hawkins aSd his men
kept the newspapermen and the
gathering crowd at a distance. Sc
crecy marked his entry into the
grand jury room.
The trip both to and from the
jail was made in the tunnel that
links the jail with the Courthouse.
Police and deputy sheriffs kept the
Railways clear and no one was al
lowed to talk to the prisoner.
Victory for Officials
A short time sufflced in the jury
room and in Miller's court, where
Stephenson was surly and refused to
testify. 1t was a victory for official-
dom and they took the prisoner back
to prison and let Prosecutor Remy
and his aids carry on with the grand
jury investigation as best they
could.
Judge James M. Leathers In
Superior Court One this spring or
dered Stephenson to appear in
civil suit brought by his former wife
for support of their child. DAILY re-
fused to bring the prisoner and APP
