COTTON CROP IS
LESS But WORTH
MORE THAN 1926

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 R-Produc-
ton of cotton this year was placed
today by the department of agricul-
ture at 6,118,527,000 pounds, not in
cluding linters, as its final estimate of
the season. That quantity at the No
vember Is farm prices of 20 cents
a pound would make the value of this
years crop for lint alone $1,223, ,705, 400,
or over two hundred million dollars
more than the lint of last years
record crop. Inclusion of the value of
cotton seed and Inter cotton would
increase the total value of this years
crop. nv
Expressed in bales this years crop
is 12,789,0OO, equivalent 5OO-pound
bales, each of which would contain
1874 pound of lint and zig pounds of
bagging and ties Last years crop
was 17,977,374 equivalent 5OO-pound
bales SO that production this year is
more than 100000 bales smaller.
OF this years crop there had been
ginned prior to December l, the census
bureau announced, a total of 11,742 ,8O6
running bales approximately 91.O per
cent of the crop.
The indicated acre yield on Deem
ber / was 1923 pounds as compared
with 1912 pounds a month ago and
1926 pounds harvested last year.

Murphy,,s Cabbage
PAGE Mr.. Jiggs.

Page Mr.. Jiggs
There's a cabbage in town that must
be taken care of. There is probably
sufficient corned beef in the city to
meet the emergency, although there
might be some doubt about that point.
The cabbage weighs II pounds, avolr-
dupois. That means 272 ounces and
allowing eight ounces to each indlvld-
ual it would feed party OF "a at
Dinty Moore's if it had a chance to
get to Dinty's place. But-noW get
this-Dinty Moore will never see it..
George B. Doubleday saw il, first. IN
stead of being boiled or steWed or
whatever they do to a cabbage with
corned beef, this one is headed to the
kraut jar. Doubleday says he knows
where to gather some Weiners and
that will make the dish for him.
The Jumbo cabbage mentioned IN
the foregoing paragraph is now on
view at the chamber of commerce Win
dow on G avenue and may be admired
there for a brief period. 1t was brought
to the chamber rooms yesterday after
noon by the Murphy Brothers, Frank
and Joseph, who raised it on their
ranch near McNeal where they have a
habit of growing choice and champion
vegetables. They grew cabbages that
captured the first prize at the Arizona
state fair. They grew onions that
landed three state prizes. They gath
cred prizes on their spinach and their
cauliflower In fact, it has become a
habit of the Murphy Brothers never
to grow ordinary vegetables but al
ways to grow the "better type" Their
ranch is in the Sulphur Springs valley
and their vegetables, they say, merely

Confined to the center of the

with the aid of fire departments
from nearby cities, the blaze wiped

Miami County authorities today
were investigating reports in Miami
that the fire may have been Of in

The report originated out Of

Action Taken BY Ford

BB United Press
DETROIT, July 8.-William H.
Gallagher, attorney for Aaron Sa-
piro in his 100000 libel suit against
Henry Ford, told the United Press
today that he thought Sapiro would
withdraw his suit as a result of
Ford's reputation Of the Dearborn
Independents articles attacking
Jews.
my judgment is that Sapiro was
not in this law suit for money, but
for vindication of himself and his
people," Gallagher said. THAT hav-
ing been accomplished, there is no
occasion for prosecuting the suit
further, in my opinion.
However, have not heard from
Mr.. Sapiro, and don't know
what his decision will be-"
Sapiro Informed
Gallagher said arrangements for
issuance of Ford's statement were
made with Louis Marshall, presi-
dent of the American Jewish COM
mittee with Sapiro's knowledge.
"Mr. Sapiro has been in pos
session of an unsigned copy of Mr..
Ford's retraction for some time"
Gallagher said. He added that
Sapiro was advised of conferences
between Ford and Marshall. Gal
lagher later issued the following for
NAL statement:
Il have only one feeling upon the
publication of the explanation Of
Mr.. Ford. a copy of which has been
in my possession for some time. I
am happy that Mr.. Sapiro's trial
had the effect of bringing home to
Mr.. Ford the extent of the wrongs
that had been perpetrated in his
name and to know that, now that
this has been brought home 70 him,
he has had the magnaminity to
have made public amends so far as
lies within his power.
Confidence in Ford
ct have always believed that Mr..
Ford's confidence in others has
been abused in the publication OF
these articles. I have takeen occa-
sion to say in court that it was
incredible that such wrongs could
have been done in his name with
his knowledged. I have said in
court that when the trial was pro-
ceeded with and the facts were
necessarily then brought to his at
tention that Mr.. Ford would never
countenance, much less seek to de-
fend the libels that have appeared
in the Dearborn Independent.
Before I was retained in Mr..
Sapiro's case I had never read the
articles; I had but hazy idea of a
Jewish persecution by Ford, and
shared the common opinion that in
this persecution Mr.. Ford was the
innocent instrument of others. In
common with the public I felt that
the continuance of those articles
was no less an injustice to Mr.. Ford
than to the Jews"

PERIL IN LONDON VIEW
Armament Race Looms as

BY HENRY WOOD
nited Press stan Correspondent

GENEVA, July 8.-Prospects for
complete success OF President Cool
idge's naval liitations conference
materially we're lessened today when
w. c. Bridgeman, first lord of the
British admiralty, told newspaper
men England could not change her
policy with regard to cruisers.
Bridgeman placed the entire
blame for the present cruiser dead
lock on the United States, whose
insistence, he said, at the Wash
ington conference on the 10,000-ton
type of cruiser compelled Britain
against her own needs and wishes,
to construct this maximum type.
Britain has beeen demanding tom
mage in excess Of the amount APP
proved by the United States.
Previous to Bridgeman's lstate-
ment it had appeared that the con-
ference would survive its crisis when
the executive committee, composed
Of Baron Saito, Bridgeman and
Hug Gibson met.
The situation when the executive
session was called today was:
Great Britain demanded
maximum cruiser tonnage OF not
less than $4,000; the United States
favored 100000, but was willing, If
necessary. to go as high as 100000;
Japan favored a maximum of 100000
and would not go beyond 100000.
One or more of those figures will
have to be changed at the executive
session if the conference is to con-
tinue.

Miss Grolich Held On to
House Breaker Until
Help Came.

Although improvised by the labor
atory assistant from a bit of white
oilcloth and adhesive tape, the rib
bon which decorates the uniform of
Nurse Margaret Grolich, Methodist
hospital, means much more than the
ordinary wooden medal bestowed
in jest.
Inscription on the ribbon reads:
Our Heroine. Honor to whom
honor is due A reward for bra
very and courage in action, July 3,
1927 Our Peg we thank you"
What this is all about is best told
by Officer Charles Bridges Of the
State police, who was called to the
Nurses Home, 1920 N. Capitol Ave-,
early Sunday morning.
Window peppers had been report
ed at the place and only week be-
fore a Negro had entered the
nurses dormitory.
Officers Hunting
When Bridges arrived on the scene
he started a tour of the premises
with Fred Rasin, hospital Waterman.
Soon they discovered a chair had
been removed from the front porch
and was directly beneath one of the
windows at the side of the house.
On the chair was a mans coat
and shoes and the screen had been
removed from the window. They
entered the room but failed to find
the culprit. He had hidden behind
a chair over which was drapped one
of thei white uniforms of the nur-
ses.
As the officers left to look else
where, Miss Grolich entered, and
the negro rose from behind the
chair. Screaming for help, the
nurse leaped at him and held on
through the ensuing struggle.
She Held On
Scratching and snarling, the man
struck the girls head against the
wall, but still she chung tenaciously
until the officers returned.
They forced him to surrender and
he was taken to Jail by Bridges. He
gave his name as William Henry
Weeks, "a. Negro, of 948 Yandes st.
(rear), and is being held to the
grand jury on several criminal
charges.
IT was too excited to be scared"
Miss Grolich explains, as she proud
ly displays her medal.

CHICAGO, July 8.-Henry Ford

today, in commenting on Ford's
statement, saying he rescinds at
tacks of Jews in his magazine, The

'Mr. Ford will find that the doc

graduate Mr.. Ford on his action"

Why, Henry!

Among comments by Indian
apolis Jewish leaders today
upon Henry Ford's apologies
to the Jewish race for the at
tacks in his Dearborn indie
pendent was this from Ralph
Bamberger, attorney, 1887
washington Blvd:
"Mr. Ford expressed great
surprise at the contents of the
articles his magazine carried.
This reminds me of a story
that Charlie Case, an old-time
vaudeville performer, used to
tell. Charles chatter was
chiefly about his father, whom
he claimed was one Of the
worlds most honest men.
illustrating how honest his
father was, Charlie told how
his father, coming home
through a neighbours yard in
the dark after a day of honest
toll, stumbled over something.
The father picked up the OBJ
ject, being unable to tell what
it was in the dark. When he
got home this honest man was
greatly SURPRISED to learn he
had stumbled over an arm load
of stove wood.
II imagine Mr.. Ford must
have been just as surprised as
Charlie Cases father when he
found out what his magazine
was printing"

Washington Stands Firm
BY LUDwELL DENNY

United Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Officials
here today faced the possibility Of
failure Of the Coolidge Naval con-
terence at Geneva.
The administration definitely de-
cided not to agree under any condi-
tons to a total cruiser tonnage
above $4,000 or 100000 as a maxi
mum for Great Britain and the
United States.
Much to the surprise Of Washing
ton, the British show no signs of
receding from their demands for
seventy-one cruisers, totaling from
100000 to 100000 tons. The present
British modem" cruiser tonnage.
including ships building, is 100000,
compared with $4,000 tons for the
United States.
Will Blame British
The administration is prepared. II
Britain forces a break to adopt the
following measures:
/. Put the full blame for the COR
respondence failure on the British.
2. Start an auxiliary naval build
ing program to approximate British
strength.
Officials are mystified by the
British demands. Here are some un-
answered questions:
How can the British taxpayers
afford to double the present British
cruiser strength?
Why did the London government
accept an invitation to naval limi-
tation conference, If it meant to in
sist on an increase instead of limi-
tation?
What international political con-
siderations, if any, are behind the
British stand?
Action Is Puzzle
Ir war between Great Britain and
the United States is unthinkable.
as he respective diplomats have de-
clared, why should the British adj
oppose an actual cruiser
equality between the two navies?
President Coolidge is loath to
enter an armament race. But naval
officers and Congressman say fatty
they will insist on a huge naval
program if Britain refuses to sign
a reasonable" treaty.
Even If Great Britain accepted
the American proposal for a 100000
ton cruiser limitation, this country
would have to triple its present
strength. This in itself is large
TO the British, it is said.

SARANAC LAKE, N. Y, July 8.
Louis Marshall, president OF the
American Jewish committee, today
told the story of how Henry Ford's
statement withdrawing charges
against Jews made in his magazine,
the Dearborn Independent, came to
be drawn up. signed by the motor
magnate, and made public.
Marshall is on a vacation at
.Knollwood Club on lower Saranac
Lake.
The statement grew out of Ford's
desire to make amends for what he
had decided we're unjustif1ed at
tacks, Marshall said, and resulted
from conferences between Marshall
and representatives Of Ford.
Delegates to Marshall
Marshall's statement follows:
Earl j. Davis of Detroit, former
ly assistant attorney general of the
United States, and Joseph Palma
of New York, both friends of Henry
Ford, came to me as his represent
tatives and stated that Ford was
satisfied that those whom he had
put in charge of the Dearborn In
dependent had taken advantage Of
him by publishing series OF
articles attacking Jews.
AS he had been convinced that
all charges madel against them in
dividually and collectively were
without foundation and unjust, he
wished to know what could be done
to put an end to these conditions.
IT stated very fully the gross in
justice and the harm that had been
done by these publications both
here and abroad. I told him that
the Jews had been grievously
wounded by these libels and that
mere words would not heal the in
jury.
IT stated that there were num-
Der of things that must be done.
Particularly that there must be a
complete retraction of all the false
charges made, an apology, discon-
ClIudIlC6 Oh CIl6 dCCdCkS, anu duleIlQS
of the wrong. After further dis
cussion they said they would report
to Ford what had taken place in
the interview.
Explains Agreement
Some Gays later they called again
and said Ford would accept these
conditions. There followed further
discussion over the telephone and
otherwise, with the result that on
Tuesday Of last week I was told
that Ford was ready to sign the
document which I received on Fri
day Of last week with a letter ad-
dressed by Ford to Davis asking
him and Palma to deliver his signed
statement to me-"
The Ford statement was given in
duplicate to Arthur Brisbane. Later
the other copy was also made avail
able to inspection at the office of
