REED AND SAPIRO
PLAN TO RESUME
BATTLE OF WITS

DETROIT, April 8 lP).-Worn by the
strain of nine days of matching wits
with each other, Aaron Sapiro, Chicago ,
attorney suing Henry Ford for $1,000,
900 for ALLEGED libel, and Senator James
A. Reed, chief of the Ford counsel, re-
laxed ard rested today, for another
siege of it next week. The weekend
break in the four weeks of trial was a
most welcome hiatus. Senator Reed
started the long cross examination in
his 'wonted manner, driving at Sapiro
with mixture of flashing keenness of
perception, irony, sarcasm and at times
a gentle coo in his tones, as he sought
to trap the Keen wftted fast thinking
witness.
Yesterday the senator had slowed
down physically. His voice was hoarse
and he begged the Indulgence of the
court as he sat, instead of standing.
Sapiro, younger by score of years,
seemed fresher physically In the
keenEess of Reeds attack and Sapiro's
parrying of il there was no evidence
of mental fatigue, however.
Potatoes was the weekend subject.
All of-yesterday Sapiro was questioned
COHC6Ill1nSs lIt6s 1OI IilollIOH VI lIC LooAiO
Potato Growers Cooperative exchange.
Potatoes again will be the subject
Monday and probably most of Tuesday.
Senator Reed expressed his intention
to go fully into the Colorado potato
enterprise and criticism of it in Ford's
weekly, the Dearborn Independent,
which was made the basis of one of
Sapiro's 20 counts of alleged libel and
eight of Sc specific allegations of libel.
After that will come Sapiro's organ
ization and the fees collected from the
dark ard bright tobacco growers, each
of them described by the attorneys as
a .1ong story" the peanut growers and
possibly organization of cotton plant
rers in the south.
Attorneys for both sides were agreed
that Sapiro probably would continue
under cross examination throughout
next week. After that Ford's appear
ance as the next witness Will be de-
manded, according to William Henry
Gallagher, chief4of sapiros counsel
Today ended the period Of two weeks
of absolute rest ordered for the auto
mobile manufacturer after he was in
jured when his little coupe was
knocked off the road, but there was no
report of his condition other than that
he was progressing favorably.
whether he would appear when
called remained mooted question.
Gallagher adhered to his expressed in
tention to demand a formal medical
examination of Ford unless he did ap-
pear and also that the defense be di-
rected to proceed with it's case if Ford
could not come to court.
The best expression from the other
side was by c. B. Longley, chief Of
counsel for the Ford organization, to
the effect that some arrangement to
prevent interruption of the trial would
be perfected if Ford was unable to
appear.

LONDON, April Is P-Since Ben
diplomatic service has had literary
tradition. Washington Irving gave
great impetus to this tradition.
His notable books about Spain really
put that country on the tourist map.
George Bancroft, James Russell
Lowell, John Lothrop Motley and
John Hay, celebrated in very differ
ent lines of literary endeavor, made
the London. legation a center for
literary groups. General Lew Wallace
wrote, much while accredited to
Constantinople.
Bayard Taylor, while better known
as travel writer than poet and
novelist, nevertheless made trans
lation of Faust" while serving as
minister to Germany, that is recog-
nized as the classic reading of
Goethe's masterpiece into English.
But of recent years, Especially
since the beginning of the great war;
the work of the diplomatic and con-
sular representatives has developed
so tremendously that they find little
time for outside interests. 1t is
possible now that the tradition will
come to an end among Americas
Representatives abroad, as foreign
service has become job much better
suited to scientifically trained econo-
mists and efficiency engineers.
The consular service has had some
very brilliant literary lights. Will
in Venice from 1850 to 1855 gave
him material for much of his best
work. While Bret Harte was serving
as consul at Crefield, Germany, and
later at Glasgow, his pen was always
busy. George Agnew Chamberlain,
Kenyon Gambler and George Horton,
all of whom are now out of the
consular service, and Norval Richard
son, until recently a member of the
diplomatic service, are well known
novelists who are now giving their
entire time, to writing.
Brand Whitlock, the late Thomas
Nelson Page, DR.. Henry Van Dyke
and DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, four
celebrated writer's gave the American
legations a character which they
previously had not known, And the
literary tradition was maintained at
Rome by Richard Underwood and
Richard Washburn Child.
The late Walter Hines Page and
Col. George B. M. Harvel made the
American embassy of their days much
the same sort of literary center it
had been when George Bancroft
had the constant association sof such
literary giants as Macaulay and
Hallam.

RAILROAD EVANGELIST
DIES AFTER PRAYER

= CHICAGO, April lP).-James Joy
Jeffries, known throughout the coun-
try as the railroad evangelist" died
suddenly today, just after holding
morning prayer service and brought
to an end his efforts to live on an

his death was 105 pounds.
The evangelist wore overalls for
clothing on all occasions. For shelter
when the weather was unfriendly
there were always the cheap "flops"-

U.S.Engineers Report

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 9 P).-Nigi-
lance and confidence prevailed tonight
along the wide course of the Mssis-
sppi river from Cairo, ILL.,, to New
Orleans, and river engineers predicted
the government levies would continue

Acute distress at Columbus, KY,

relieved during the day as the waters

the danger would have been passed
The swollen river was falling slowly

under the most severe conditions. Once

sang, when the Saints Go March
ing In =" This concluded the sermon,
