dition. which statements were false,

OFFERS GIFT OF AUTO
IF IT GOES IS MILES AN HR
But Policeman Says 1t Went Faster
and Howard kilbourne Is
Fined for Speeding

Howard Kibourne. aged 80, OF
1884 Stanley street, was fined $40
and costs by Judge W. C. Hunger
ford in police court this morning
on the charge of speeding on Stan
ley street yesterday noon despite
his insistence that the car he was
driving could not travel at the rate
Of As miles an hour, as testified by
Motorcycle Officer Alfred Tanguay.
]. F.. Kilbourne. owner Of the car
testified that its condition is such
that speed of As miles an hour is
out of the question, in fact, he would
make anyone gift of it IL 1t could
be driven rs miles an hour.
Officer Tanguay testified that he
followed Kilbourne from the middle
OF Shepard's Hill to Long street on
Stanley street at noon and clicked
his speed at As miles an hour. Traf-
fic was fairly heavy and kilbourne
passed three cars, the officer testi-
fed.
Kilbourne, however, testified that
he saw the officer following him and
had plenty of time to reduce his
speed but he was not going faster
than % miles an hour and therefore
he did not fear the law. When the
officer overhauled him he held his
hand over the speedometer Kill
bourne said but he was TOO clever
for the officer and obtained a
glimpse of the recording apparatus
on the motorcycle which showed
either As or AZ miles an hour. Kill
bourne explained this tact by point
ing out that the motorcycle prob
ably slowed down for slight dis
lance and then picked UP speed, but
he was positive the officers speedo-
meter did not accurately record the
speed Of his car over the route
described
Judge Hungerford said the officer
was positive in his testimony and he
believed him as against theory
that the speed might have been
within the law, or that the car
lacked the power to attain certain
speed. On the evidence at hand, he
made a finding of guilty. Attorney
Monroe s. Gordon represented Kill
bourne.

!ARMY CHAPLAIN Ford Made Good Deal
IRAPS HISTORIES In Buying Minority
OF WORLD WAR Stock, Says Jewett

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-(P-Turn-
ing its attention to the historical set
ting Of the World war, the house milf
tary committee was told today that a
number of American school histories
give erroneous and imaginary accounts
of the part played by the American
troops.
The statement was made by Lieut..
Col. Thomas j. Dickson retired army
chaplain, and afterwards the committee
voted to call authors of American
school histories for questioning.
Dickson testified after Representa-
tive Andrew, republican, Massachu-
setts, had endorsed his resolution pro-
posing publication of official army and
navy war records. The Massachusetts
member made public a letter from Sec
retary of War Davis saying the war
department could not endorse the plan
at this time because of the cost of
publication. The secretary also urged
amendment of it's resolution to give
the department authority to pass upon
the matter to be printed.
Dickson said that a number of
American history authors gave their
own opinion of what took place. One
history, he contended, made the state
ment. that with six months training
American troops were equal to the
experienced troops of any nation.
He also said American publishing
companies printed the Mexican eagle
on the face of text books rather than
the American eagle.

DETROIT, Jan. 19.-(P)-Henry Ford
made the best deal Of his life" when
he bought out Ford Motor company
minority stockholders in 1919, and so
told Harry NJ Jewctt, president of the
PaigeDetroit Motor Car company,
Jewett today said during the hearing
Approximately S3,0000 900 income tax
from the sellers. 1t was an $10S,000,-
600 bargain. Ford paid $12,5OO cash
for each of the S6,2S5 minor shares
outstanding. The government in 1919
taxed the sellers on the basis of
valuation of S9,4S9.34 a share as of
1913, taking the difference between
that amount and the sales price as
profit. In 1925 the treasury depart
ment revised the estimate to a figure
finally settled as $3,547S4. 1t claims
tax on the margin between that and
the 1919 valuation.
The revaluation was at first even
lower and approximately $4,000, 600
was asked. 1t finally became slightly
over sSO,OOO,O0O.
His statement concerning Henry
Ford's purchase of stock was not al
lowed to stand in the record. A. w.
Gregg, chief government consel, OBJ
jected that it was not an answer to his

It is true that the experiment in
this case was on a dead man, but
chemists say the method will work
as well on live one.
A motorist ran into a pedestrian
who staggered into the cars right
of way. The man was killed. There
were no eye witnesses, but the driver
demanded an autopsy.
Leon Bonn. an expert chemist at

victims blood and found alcohol in
sufficient quantity to indicate the
man chad drunk about four quarts
of wine of 10 per cent alcoholic
content. That made four-fifths of a
pint of pure alcohol, which, the
judges agreed, was enough to make
the hardest drinker disregard traffic
regulations.
Concierges who really protect the
buildings under their charge have
almost disappeared and are mourned
by some of the retrospective French
people who are appalled, at the mum

They have certain police powers
and usually are in close relations
with the police. They collect the
rent, close the front door at a fixed
hour at night and by means of a
Wire or an eleceric system release
the lock for late callers or tenants.
The caller is generally required to
announce the name of the person
to be visited and the tenant always
announces himself when returning al
night. The concierge puts on the
stair lights, which are automatically
extinguished within few minutes.
In the old days the concierges had
free rent, a small salary and tips
from everyone. Few get salaries now
and their ambition causes them to
do outside work that frequently
leaves the buildings unprotected,
Even when they are there their
viligance has been so relaxed that
they afford but slight protection.
Newspapers therefore have criticized
them and to support their case point
to the increase in burglares.
Sabots, the big French wooden
shoes, have been adopted by many
of the autobus conductors of Paris
during the cold weather.
When the thermometer hit freezing
recently a whole flock of the bus
men reverted to the methods of their
youth. They knew that the thick
woolen socks and the unrestrained
movement of their feet would allow
the blood to circulate, while the
tight shoes of civilization limited
the thickness of socks and impeded
the flow of blood
Sabots, carved of wood, are also
cheap and durable.
