OPTION ON FORD
STOCK TESTIFIED
TO IN TAX SUIT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. P)-An op-
tion on 500 shares of stock in the
Ford Motor company at $13,500 a
share went by the board in Novem-
Der, 1916, because the spot cash re-
quired to negotiate the transfer was
not Forthcoming.
The shares belonged to James Couz-
ems, now senator from Michigan,
and petitioner with eight other for
mer Ford stockholders in the $780,,
100000 back tax suit being heard by
the board of tax appeals. The op
tion was offered w H. Humphrey a
stock broker of Detroit, who acted
for firm of New York investment
bankers.
According to a stipulation based
on information given by the counsel
informant and appellants by Hum
phrey, was unable to testify here,
Couzens declined to accept $780, 900
as a partial payment for the block
of shares, the purchasers having re-
quested ten-day limit for the bal
ance. The deal was not consum-
mated.
The stipulation, which was admit
ted into the record at today's hear
ing, also mentioned an offer to Hum
phrey in March, 1919, of a block of
Ford stock belonging to the Gray
family on the basis of $4,000 share,
but this option also was forfeited.
The stock was offered for sale, it
was said, at the time Ford threatened
to abandon the company and re-enter
the market with car to sell at $3.50.
Counsel for appellants entered upon
the presentation of a rebuttal testi-
mony today and will conclude their
case tomorrow. Among witnesses put
on the stand today were Charles r..
Talbot, vice president of the National
| Bank of Commerce, Detroit, and AL
bert j. Nebe, a Detroit stock broker,
both of whom testified that the en-
barge on the transfer of stock inn
posed by the companys bylaws did
not affect the negotiability of stock
| in the Canadian company, which car
! ried the same stipulations.

Benson Woman Makes
Ne1U Course Record To
Lead Golf QuaLifers

The shadow of slim young
woman from Benson, Mrs. Larsen
skov, looms across the path of Mrs
Warren Macarthur, Jr., state woman
golf champion from Phoenix, and
Mrs P. NJ 1sucl1walter of Bisbee,
winner of the title two years ago, in
the quest for the championship of
the state to be decided in the fourth

holes set up a new women's record
for the Douglas Country club course.
Mrs. Buckwalter finished second to
Mrs. Skov and five strokes behind
her in the qualifying round with a
4S in the morning and 46 in the aft
ernoon for a score of "a. She played
a steady game throughout.
Mrs. Macarthur, the champion, play
ed SO going out and bettered it by
two strokes in the afternoon to fin
ish third among the qualifiers with
a card of SO for the 18 holes.
These three were the only ones of
the .48 women who teed off to come
within the century mark in scoring i'll
the qualifying round. Miss Portia

Country club, and Mrs. Lynn Palmer,
president of the state association,

enter the three-day flight starting
today for the championship.

LIN Shanghai

SHANGHAI, Feb. 23 R.-The Chi
nese cruisers Kiangwei and Kiangkang,
whose crews revolted yesterday and
! attempted to shell the Kiangnan ar
senal one mile from Shanghai, were
seized today by officers of Marshal Sun
Chuan- Fa1fg. Their traitorous crews
fled to the shore fthe Whangpoo
river and escaped summary action for
their going over to the cause of the
nationalist government, whose forces
threaten Shanghai.
A third vessel, a gunboat which also
exchanged allegiance, was under guard
as result of its shelling of the French
settlement and native city sections of
yesterday while attempting to lombard
the arsenal. Using the city of Shang-
hal as a screen, the gunboat attempted
to drop shells upon the arsenal, but
ten of them fell short landing in the
city, Two American homes were dam
aged and two Chinese killed.
The French consul general lodged a
protest with Sun Chuan- -Fangs COM
missioner of foreign affairs for I<iang-
su province regarding the shooting. 1t
was not doubted, however, that the
Shinese sailors were trying to hit the
arsenal and that the French concession
was shelled as a result of poor marks
manship.
The French authorities continued
their precautionary measures by
strengthening the defenses along the
CONCESSIONS border adjoining the ma
tive city, from which thousands of
refugees poured into the French dis
trict.
Deserters and stragglers from Sun
Chuan- -Fang's defeated army arrived in
large numbers from the Hangchow
front Their presence caused anxiety
approaching panic in native quarters,
owing to rumors that the soldiers
planned extensive Iooting. The general
strike called to weaken Marshal Suns
power to make way for the nationalist
armies was considerably abated, due
largely to the decapitations of agi-
tators by soldiers who welded heavy
swords Thirty thousand men of the
