Michael Lee Indicted
On Gunfight Charges

Michael Lee, 43. yesterday was
indicted on charges of assault
with intent to kill, assault with a
dangerous weapon and carrying
a concealed weapon.
The charges against Lee stem
from a gunflght in the front
seat of a cab in the 1900 block
of M street S. E. last January %.
Lee was wounded in the left arm
and Walter w. Pickett, So. was
wounded twice in the right leg
and once in the right arm.
According to police. Lee began
the firing and Pickett. wrench
ing the pistol from Lee. fired in
turn.
Both men had been convicted
some time ago in the operation
of a Fairfax County still. Pickett
is now serving four-year prison
term in a Virginia penitentiary
for the liquor violation. Lee is
believed to be in Mexico, having
skipped bond in Virginia., where
he was awaiting sentence on liq-
uor law violation charges.
The indictment was returned
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia.

been worse. ]. P. Morgan q Co..
the New York banking firm, at
that time had a stake in Wards.
The Morgan bankers chose Mr..
Avery. He was running United
States Gypsum with such skill
the building material manu-
facturer was grinding out divi-
dends for its pleased stockhold-
ers throughout the depression.
The Morgan firm dangled an
attractive offer before Mr.. Avery.
It included an option to purchase
a stable block Of stock at an
appealing price - provided Mr..
Avery put the company back on
its feet and the stock reflected
this improvement by advancing.
If Mr.. Avery failed. the stock
and Mr.. Avery's option would be
worthless.
Mr.. Avery wasn't keen for the
job. Retail merchandise was
out of his line. But he liked the
challenge. He accepted.
In 1880 Wards had a net
profit of only $568.214. In 1881
the net loss was a staggering
$8,712.000. But by 1888, with Mr..
Avery at the helm, the company
reported a net profit of $780,
900. It's been making profits
ever since.
Hard to Work For
A major charge leveled by Mr..
Wolfson against Mr.. Avery is
that he cannot get along with
other company executives.

At that time the trust was the
largest single stakeholder In
Wards, owning more than 100,-
900 shares. Since then it has
sold every share.
Mr.. Avery has answered these
charges about his being tyrant
To one stockholders meeting he
said, 1.-The impression that this
company is being run by a demon
dictator is just plain damned
nonsense.
The biggest management blow
up occurred In 1919 when the
president and all the vice presi-
dents resigned. Mr.. Avery ap-
pointed eight new vice presidents
and introduced them at the an
nual stockholders meeting.
II get along very well with
these fellows" he said.
Only two of the eight-Ed-
mund Krider, president. and
James Weber. vice president
are still officers Of the company
Have any of these former
executives indicated a willingness
to aid Mr.. Wolfson?

Probably the most cutting
designations were those of two

among Wards directors. One of

| have been many designations,
voluntary and forced. from
Wards top echelon. Four presi-
dents and about 10 vice presi-
dents, many of whom also were
directors, have come and gone.
All four of the presidents, as
well as many of the vice presi-
dents, were brought into the
company by Mr.. Avery in the
first place.
Few of the executives who left
detailed their reasons. But some
dropped a few choice comments,
to wit:
Roy Gebert: MY work became
so uncongenial that I simply
resigned. No man could continue
on the job and keep his self
respect"
Robert Steffey: There is no
more security at present than
there has been in the past"
Willard Sahloff: 1.-The constant
turmoil makes it impossible to
work here"
In 1860 Walter L. Morgan,
head of the Wellington Fund,
a mutual fund with headquarters
in Philadelphia. said. ut is dis
turbing that Mr.. Avery continues
to show inability to get along

The Montgomery Word Bottle
Is Avery Tyront or Genius?
Record Shows Some of Each

What dangers does Mr.. Avery
see in Mr.. Wolfson's ambitions?
Mr.. Avery answers. "These
dangers are apparent from the
record Of what has happened in
other companies acquired by
Mr.. Wolfson, such as:
1.-THE st. Johns River Ship
yards which he liquidated; the
Capital Transit Co. in Wash
ington, D. c., where he dissi-
pated the corporations liquid
assets; and New York Shipbuild-
ing, where stockholders are now
suing him for an alleged con-
spiracy to ruin the company for
personal gain"
Mr.. Avery charges Mr.. Wolf
son is heading a "raiding party
to get control of Wards assets.
Does Mr.. Wolfson think this is
a fair charge?
Mr.. ,Wolfson says, II have no
control over what Mr.. Avery
may say or do. I will not, under
any circumstances, wage a fight
that is unfair"

these, n. p. Dawson, had been
the man primarily responsible
for bringing Mr.. Avery over to
Wards.
Believes In Chart
Mr.. Avery has a chart of the
wholesale commodity price index
of every major American war
dating back to 1912. After every
major war, except World War II
there has been a drastic decline
in prices. Mr.. Avery puts great
faith in the portents of this
chart.
One of Mr.. Wolfson's main
plans for the company is to open
up more Stores-24 in the first
year if he gets control. Mr.. Avery
stands firm on his impression
that building costs are too high.
Another Wolfson proposal is
to set up a separate real estate
company to own Wards real es-
tate properties. What does Mr..
Avery think of this?
This proposal alone" he says.
"casts doubt on Wolfson's sin
cerity and intentions as far as
the continued operation Of the
business in the interest of the
stockholders is concerned.
THE scheme would not only
give rise to serious income tax
problems for Ward stockholders,
but it involves potential threat
to the continued operation of
the business.
