Mr. Ford admitted that F I- Mine-1
ensmith, a vice president of the Ford,
Motor Company, was authorised to
speak for the company. P. '
Hams, correspondent of the Tribune at
Detroit, previously testified that it was
Mr. Klinpensmith wno told him that
National Guardsmen from the Fori
plant, who went to the border, would
not be paid while absent, nor would
their plates be held for them, nor their
dependents looked after.
On further examination by Mr. Luck
ing, witness said that in the lower court
the Dodges enjoined him from enlarging
his plant, but this was reersed b. the
Supreme Court of Michigan. Mr. Ford
said he had wished at that time to ex
pand in order to employ more men at
good -wages. He reduced the price SM)
per car in order to increase production
to 800,000 cars, he said, and Dodge
Brothers charged that this alone sacii
ficed $40,000,000 in potential profits.
"You bought out the Dodge inter
ests?" asked Mr. Stevenson. "No, ms
son Edscl did."
Questioning brought out that last
spring, before the Dodge deal, when
witness announced that he was going
to form a new company to build a bet
ter and cheaper car, he ofTered his own
stock in the Ford Company for sale.
Edsel Ford, however, prevailed upon
him to give him a chance to settle with
the Dodges.
The next bit of evidence was in the
form of a deposition from a I'oiigh
keepsie, N. Y physician, a verbatim
report of whose name follows:
"Dr. Johannes Herman Martin Au
gustus von Tillin."
It appeared from the doctor s de
position that Mr. Ford was in the
physician's oftace when news of the
sinking of the Lusltania was received
and Mr. Ford remarked that Americans
were foolish to be on board, as they
had been warned.

The 100 opponents nf the bill were

measure Pennsvlvanin, Massachusetts,

The "solid South" was not in evi

that section against the measure.
North Carolina, drv ten years or more,
furnished two. Others came from Ala

nnd Texas. Northwestern states, such
as Wisconsin and Iowa, furnished votes
against the measure
A motion to recommit the measure
and to substitute an ninendment by
Representative Igoe, of Missouri, plac
ing the enforcement under the ordinary
laws of the country, was defeated, 255
to 130.
Quirk Work Expected In Senate
Senator Sheppard. of Texas, vild Jnst
night that the Senate would pass the
House bill with a few immaterial
changes. He thinks final action will
be quicker than in the House, 'lie
predicted that there would not be a
dozen votes against it on the final show
down. Senator Sterling, chairman of the
subcommittee of the judiciary jpommlt-
! tee, which has been considering a pro
posed enforcement bill of its own, said
Inst night that his committee would
complete its work iu a few days nnd
report to the full committee. He ex
pects the enforcement measure to bo
out of the way by the middle of August.
The Volstead bill was formally in
troduced in the House June 27, having
been redrawn by the judiciary committee
from a measure ofTered early in the
extia session. It was written, accord
ing to its author, along the lines of the
Ohio prohibition code. It has been
openlv c barged in the debates that
Watne B. Wheeler, general counsel of
the Anti-Saloon League, tt lift is from
Ohio drafted the original measure.
Mr Volstead, who had liarge of it
in the House, declared he was sorry
there weie not more votes for the
bill "The only liberal matter put in it
b.v the House." declared Representative
Igoe. who led the fight for the wets,
"is the adoption of nn amendment milk
ing it clear that beer and wine that
have less than one-half of 1 per cent
alcohol muv be made legallv. Another
provision is that a person at home
mav serve his guests."
The bill is written in three "titles,"
The first nppliis to wartime prohibition.
The second is for enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment to the constitu
tion, and is (ffective Januar.v 1(1. 1020.
The third legalizes the manufacture of
alcohol for industrial purposes.

irarrisburg. July 23. (By A. P.)
Governor William C. Sproul today an
nounced his vetoes of the Ramsey bill
designed to legalize 2.75 per cent beer,
and the measure creating the state sal
ary board, In message reviewing the
purposes of the legislation and declaring
in the ruse of the Ramsey bill that it
would be futile legislation and that the
salary board bill was of doubtful constitutionality.
In his veto of the Ramsey bill the
Governor says:
"This bill purports to be an act to
enforce the eighteenth amendment to
the constitution of the Fnited States
bv nrohibitlng the manufacture, sale
nnd transportation within the common
wealth of intoxicating liquors for bever
age purposes and defining the term
'intoxicating liquors for beverage pur
poses.' "The Legislature in this bill has
endeavoied to define the meaning of the
words 'intoxicating liquors for bever
age purposes' by providing that they
mean 'all vinous, spirituous, malt or
hrewed liquors or any admixture thereof
for beverage purposes when they con
tain more than 2 per cent of alcohol
bv weight at a temperature of sixty
degrees nbove 7ero.
Difference of Opinion
"Whether such alcoholic content ns
that thus defined is or is not intoxicat
ing is a question of fact as to which
there seems to be some difference of
opinion. This bill further provides in
substance that although a beverage with
such nn nlcoholie content may in fact
be intoxicating, it 'shall be considered
non-intoxicating.'
"Such a provision might open n very
wide door to evasions of the law. As
the legislation now rapidly passing
through the federal Congress fixed an
alcoholic content very much less than
that prescribed b.v this bill, and as the
federal law when passed will be
supreme, It would be the limit of futility
for this commonwealth to put upon its
stntutc books nn net which would be a
dead letter as soon ns tne federal gov
ernment shall have spoken upon the
subject."
In vetoing the stnte salary board bill
the Governor says the purpose is com
mendable and seeks to remedy a mani
fest inequality that exists in the com
pensation of certain stnte officers nnd
employes. He asks whether the bill
does not give legislative powers to the
board and remarks that such powers
cannot be delegated.
Power to Change Law
The Governor then says, "This bill
In effect clothes the salary board with
the power to amend, alter or change a
law fixing the salary, for example, of
the deputy head of ft department n po
sition created by statute, filled by ap
pointment of the Governor, bv nnd with
the advice and consent of the Senate,
and with a salary attached thereto ex
pressly prescribed thereby.
"If the Legislature can delegate its
power to some board thus to change n
law specifically fixing the salary of n
public officer, is it not tantamount to
giving it the power to abolish the olfice
bv withholding all salary therefrom or
may the Legislature not take the further
step and delegate the power to some
board to change or alter the laws which
have established nil public places? Aside
from the constitutional doubt, I am not
convinced that the s.t.stem here proposed
to be set up is sound in policy, or
whether it would not entail n burden
upon the board chnrged witli its ad
ministration and invite abuses wholly
disproportionate to any advantage it
might secure.
"A departure from our hitherto ac
cepted and settled policy of fixing the
compensation of public officers nnd em
ployes so radical as this should only
be made where the way is free from all
question ns to its constitutionality and
there the gains in view nre so patent
and consequential as to mnke such a
change of method altogether desirable
nnd its adoption nn unmistakable duty."
MUST KEEP CAR RECORD
Garage Proprietors to Be Held Re
sponsible for Information
Proprietors of public garages through
out Pennsvltnnln have had their at
tention called by letter to the provi
sions of the act npproved by Governor
Sproul, .Tune SO, requiring that records
must be kept of nil cars stored or left
for repairs In every garage of the
state.
The provisions of this act are now in
force, A special form has been pre
pared by the Stnte Highway Depart
ment, nnd this must be used by the
garage men. Records must be kept
in ink or Indelible pencil and must be
open to the inspection of police or
other nuthorities for one year. A
stiff fine is protided for failure to main
tain the record.
Police authorities say that the keep
ing of these records will do much to
end the stealing of automobiles.

Plans or No Plans.
There are two classes of builders
who need the help of a strong, mod
ern lumber centre, those who have
planned their operations well, and those
who haven't.
If you have planned well, you will
need a strong organization to help carry
out your rlans. The best is none too
good. In big building operations, all of
our experience and resources, including
the powerful aid of our Traffic Depart
ment, are constantly required.
But if you have not been able to
make careful plans, if you are forced
to build hastily and under pressure,
then only an uncommonly strong or
ganization will enable you to accom
plish your purpose. When you need
unusual stocks or service that you have
no right to expect, then the resources
of the LLOYD organization will often
save the day for you.
Some day you'll build. If you want the
work finished on time, see that the lumber
comes from LLOYD.
