DETROIT, April (P).-King Cotton
and Aaron Sapiro's efforts to organize
the southern planters comparatively
with occasional sidetrips to cover his
activities in New Jersey, Oregon and
New York, We're centered upon today
in the Chicago lawyers $1,000,000 libel
suit against Henry Ford. Many pieces
of documentary evidence, letters, tele-
grams, contracts drawn up by Sapiro
for cooperative associations and a
speech he made seven years ago, went
into the record today, slowing up the
proceedings and contributing to a gem
eral lack-luster day.
They do no harm and they do no
good" objected VIM. Henry Gallagher,
chief of Sapiro's counsel at one point.
They merely clutter up the record.
At this rate we will be here for years" "
The old speech by Sapfro at Mont
gomery, Ala, required so minutes Of
steady reading by James A. Reed,
United States senator for Missouri,
chief of Fords COUNSEL and while it
provided him his days chief topic, it
seemed TO take a lot out of him. At
the end Of the day, his sixth of cross

senate veteran frankly admitted he
was tired.

ance policy wNl require many minutes

Sapiros brother, Milton, arrived from
California today, bringing a trunkful
of records demanded by Senator Reed
last week. He Immediately was ad-
ministered the oath and seated himself
at his brothers counsel table
When court adjourned it was indi-
Gated that cross-examination of Sapiro
, was far from finished and that it
might require the remainder of the
week

Sapiro testified that since 1922 he

General Tang eng-Chih, apologzed
to the Japanese consul general for
the attack on the concession and
said that while he would do his ut
most to maintain peace and order,

Is it not a fact that you declared

But the cotton growers did not fol-
low that idea?"
"'The cotton associations did not"
The jaded cross examiner and Sapiro

when the witness replied nearly a

Reed mentioned the names of Abe
Waldauer, Memphis, Tenn; Attorney
G. E. Chamberlain and Julian Langner,
newspaper and publicity man, formerly
in the same office with Sapiro in New
York, and demanded to know whether
Sapiro split fees with them. All an
swers were in the negative. Much of
the late questioning had to do with
the New York Maple Syrup Producers
association and the New York Canning
Crop association.
In letter withdrawing from repre-
sentation of the syrup raisers, Sapiro
wrote as one of four set reasons that
he found the old religious prejudice
against Jews working against him.

The Anti Coolidge workers led by Bob
LaFolIette believd they have at last dis
covered an issue which not only prevents
the consideration of Calvin Coolidge as q
Presidential possibility in '28. but serious
enough they half indicate to compel his
immediate retirement from the Presiden-
tial office. The bill of particulars recites
that on a certain and particular day,
while residing within the Black Hills, the
President deliberately adorned himself
with a sombrero and a pair of leather
chaps gifts from enthusiastic fellow citi-
himself to be photographed. Senator La
Toilette and his friends believe that this
is an issue which pales the angle worm
controversy into insignificance and which
will at once rouse the entire country.
The three-seeond flickers upon the sill
yer screen they are convinced at once
wipes cut the understanding and appreci-
alton of all the President has done. They
are understood to be still searching the
Constitution, convinced that somewhere
they will find a provision authorizing spe-
cial punishment for the Presidents act.
Young LaFollette with his literary
henchmen are not to BIZ condemned ont,
right, however. Something of this sort
was needed to tighten the academic gloon
which the high-faluting discussion of third
term precedents had cast over the coun.
try. The silver-screen pictures of the
President unhappily posing in this Yves
tern raiment may really be a blessing il
disguise. and indeed the great issue" il
already losing its substance.

BEN CHRISTIAN PROBABLY
SHY PART OF HIS RANCH

Twenty boys, Press carriers, sub
stitutes and the newsies who peddle
the Press on Main street, accompani
ed by wagon load of watermelons
went out to the Ben Christian ranch
near Meloland last evening, and
what there was left of the melons
at the end of the party is not worth
recording.
First item on the program was
a. swim in the ranch reservoir and
after this the boys were in fine
fettle for the big sporting event of
the evening, a watermelon race.
Great slices of melon. one for each
boy, were arranged in long line
on a row of boards. Behind each
piece of melon boy took his place,
flat on his stomach, hands tied be-
hind him. The fellow who ate his
melon through to the rind, seeds and
all won prize. Alfred Ede had
the required speed to win this con
test.
In foot racing Albert Blunt and
key Price tied for first place and
the same two boys tied for the prize
in running broad jumping.
The climax of the evening, how
ever was the battle staged last of
all with the gnawed melon rinds for
ammunition. The opposing factions
were led by Bryan WillOughby and
Albert Blunt and the carnage was
beyond description.
Prizes for all these events were
the donations of W. II. Howard.
