Stock Worth $500 to $4,000 a
Share in 1918, Arthur M.

by tHo Associated Fres9.
Stock in the Ford Motor Co. was
worth anywhere from $500 to $4,000
a share on March /, 1918. in the opin-
ion Of Arthur NJ. Anderson, partner
In j. p. Morgan & Co., New York,
who was a Government witness today
in the hearing of the case in which
the Government seeks to collect
$30. 100000 additional taxes against
Ford minority stockholders.
The Internal Revenue Bureau claims
a valuation given by Daniel c. Roper,
former head of the bureau, on the
1913 date was too high and that, con-
sequently when the minority stock
was bought by Ford in 1919 the Gov
ernment lost taxes which should have
been collected.
Anderson testified that conditions in
the securities market in 1913 We're
highly unfavorable and that the ex-
listing depression reflected itself in a
continued drop in prices. Based on
the conditions then prevailing, he
named an outside price of $4,000 on
the stock, his lower figure being less
than that set by the Government in
its appraisal Of 1925, which is the
basis of the present action.
On cross-examination by John w.
Davis, chief counsel for the former
stockholders, Anderson said he prob
ably would not have sold Ford stock
at that price If he had owned any.
The Ford Co. was an attractive
proposition to investment bankers who
were specializing in that class of Sc.
curities, he said.

COURT Of APPEALS
SEEKS DIRECTION
Jurisdiction Is involved in
Packers Case-Supreme
Tribunals Aid Requested.

The District Court of Appeals today
certified to the United States Supreme
Court for decision five questions con-
cerning the Jurisdiction of the courts
Of the District of Columbia to enter
tain the proceedings brought by the
Department of Justice against Swift
& Co. and Armour & Co, two OF the
principal packing concerns.
The United States began suit against
Ave packing companies February 27.
1920, In the Equity Division of the
Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia and obtained a consent de-
cree by which the companies agreed
to divorce the meat industry from
unallied business enterprises. The
California Canneries Co. obtained an
order from Justice Bailey of the Dis
trict Supreme Court suspending the
operation of the decree until the GOV
ernment had proved its case. The
two packing companies mentioned
then sought a revocation or the IN
junction granted under the consent
decree" and Justice Bailey denied their
application, from which they ap-
pealed.
Questions at Issue.
The Department of Justice moved
a dismissal of the appeal on the
ground that that appeal, If any, lay to
the United States Supreme Court dlrect
under the expediting act in relation TO
antitrust cases. The Court or Ap-
peals took that view of the matter,
but later granted a rehearing to the
packing companies. The certification
Of the questions results from that re-
hearing.
The questions propounded to the
highest tribunal in the land are:
"a Is the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia a District Court of
the United States within the provi-
sions of the antitrust acts?
(2) Is the jurisdiction Of d District
Court of the United States conferred
on that court by statute, according
to rules and statutes applicable to
District Courts of the United States
or according to those applicable to
courts of the District OF Columbia
and is the Jurisdiction so conferred
sufficiently broad to embrace cases
where Congress confers jurisdiction
on District Courts of the United
States generally without mention Of
or reference to Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia?
Question on Equity.
t3) If the first question be answered
IN the aff1rmatlVe, was the Jurlsdic-
ton specially conferred by antitrust
acts properly invoked by the United
States in bringing the case in equity,
or should it have been filed in the
District Court term?
a. Does an appeal lie in his case to
the District Court Of Appeals?
(5) II not, has the Court of Appeals
jurisdiction to transfer such appeal to
the United States Supreme Court. pur-
suant to section 32S of the judicial
code?
