DU tWtttU fTt0S
DETROIT, Mich, March II. -
With the date of trial only three days
distant, opposing counsel in Aaron
Sapiros million dollar libel suit
against Henry Ford today wrangled
over issues in the case.
Sapiro, Chicago lawyer of Jewish
descent and organizer of coopera-
tive market organizations among
farmers, is suing the automobile
maker and his Dearborn Independent
for series of articles which bitterly
attacked organization and operation
Of the cooperatives.
William Henry Gallagher, attor-
ney for Sapiro, will base his attack
on charges alleged to have been
made in Ford's publication that
Sapiro is a member Of a Jewish
conspiracy" seeking to gain control
of agricultural produce marketing.
The defense meanwhile is preparing
to fight the case with Sapiro's
methods of organization among
farmers at issue. 1t is charged
Sapiro dominated and exploited the
cooperatives and WAS not actuated
by unselfish motives"
The trial will open Tuesday in
Federal Court here before Judge
Fred S. Raymond. A distinguishing
array of twenty some odd attorneys
are connected with the suit. The
defense will be led by Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri, who is reported
to receive a retainer of 100000.
Gallagher of Detroit and Judge Rob-
ert S. Marx of Cincinnati will direct
the prosecution.

We were both dead broke and all we
could afford was some bologna and
cheese and crackers.
We got to Weepah finally and
managed to live on the lean fare for

One day Leonard and 1 noticed
some good looking rock just at the
edge of an old badger hole. 1 re.
membered my father saying that sew
eral of Nevada's biggest gold strikes
had been made by badger.
1 guess that's what happened when
we made this strike. We PANIED the
rock around the badger hole and got
some nice strings of gold.
We kept on digging and the ore
started to get better and better. 1t
was pretty good looking stuff. But
it was no until we had dug several
feet that we made the real strike.
Dazed by Riches
When we opened up the ledge with
all that gold we were dazed. Neither
of us could believe. our eyes and
we didn't know exactly what to do
with it.
L Thought maybe was having
another dream, but Leonard kept
dancing around like wild Indian,
yelling, we're set for life"
We finally settled down, filled some
old cans with the stuff and started

DEATH CONQUERS
ALFRED FR|Ck IN
1OS-HOUR FIGHT
Paralysis Victim Succumbs
4 Despite Efforts of Fifty
Seven Workers.
BIZ United Press

bH CHIttu f-Ftoo
EVANSTON, ILL.,, March IL
Death has won its struggle against
the loyal, loving hands that for more
than 10S hours pumped borrowed
life" into the body of Alfred Prick.
The 22-year-old salesman who
would have died last Sunday but for
the constant, rhythmic pressure on
his Iungs-applied by fifty-seven of
his co-workers and friends working
day and night in fifteen-minute
substantially succumbed at 1912
o'clock last night.
Frick had been suffering since
Sunday of Landry's paralysis and
for most of the time was unable to
breathe, sleep or eat.
Losing Fight Began
The final struggle Of Tricks losing
battle started in shortly after $50
p. m. Doctors noticed a cyanotic
condition-where the flesh starts
turning blue-set in. Oxygen tanks
were brought into use. Prick failed
to respond.
H. c. Frick, the boys father, who
has been almost in constant at
tendance, walked to the bed where
young Prick had been propped at
a As degree angle for four days.
"Can I help, SOM" the father
asked.
For the first time in 10S hours
young Prick failed to respond to his
fathers question. Prior to that time
ne had always gasped, ''push, dad"
AT 10 p. M, Chris Hendrtckson
and Harry Reynolds took up their
shift at forcing breathing on Prick.
They pushed, relaxed, pushed, re-
laxed with the same cadence that
has been kept up since Sunday.
Called to Father
Once the pain wracked and ex.
hausted youth, half shook and
gasped:
Dad"
But his voice faded away.
Doctors said he was gone. But
for ten minutes more the pressure
was kept up. Oxygen was pumped
into Tricks lungs. The two COM
rades of Prick, tears streaming
down their face, refused to give un.
Finally DR.. T. E. Conley, who
was bending over the body, gave
the announcement that fifty-seven
men have been fighting against for
five days:
He is dead"
Silence enveloped the little room
where the losing battle had been GO
ing on. The two workers pressed
gently on Tricks chest once or twice
as though loath to believe the task
they had worked at could have
failed.
1t was only when Tricks father
collapsed and fell to the floor that
all realized an all-powerful death
had taken the victim it had beckoned
for.
Science Wins
Medical science won over mother
love this morning, when Mrs. H. G.
Frick, mother of the dead youth.
gave permission to doctors to per.
form post-mortem examination.
The doctors desired to make the
examination in order to learn of the
various reactions of the paralysis
which brought on Tricks death.
When they made known their de.
sires last night, Mrs. Prick said to
her husband:
Herman, please don't let them do
anything. Don't let them harm his
body. He's still our little boy, you
know, even now"
But this morning, in order to pre-
vent-if possible-any recurrence of
the dragging death of her son, she
gave permission for the post-mor-
tenn, which will be held later.
Tricks body was taken this morn.
