Lawyers at Opening Clash on
Meaning of Word.
BIG LIBEL SUIT IS BEGUN
Counsel for Chicago Tribune, De
fendant, Undertakes to Show
Paper's Intended 3Ieaning.
MOTJNT CLEMENS, Mich., May 14.
Military preparedness and definition of
th6 word "anarchist" were the chief
topics on which talesmen from which
to select a jury for the $1,000,000 libel
suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago
Tribune were questioned yesterday.
Elliott G. Stevenson, of counsel for
the defendant, and Attorneys Alfred J.
Murphy and Alfred Lucking, for Mr.
Kord, were in many clashes during the
day over the lines of examination. Mr.
Lucking accused Mr. Stevenson of seek
ing to get before the talesmen argu
ments for military preparedness which,
Mr. Lucking said, Mr. Stevenson knew
could not be brousrht in as evidence
later.
Evidence In Declared Jnnk.
"Preparedness does not figure in this
case at all." asserted Mr. Lucking. "All
this evidence which the defense has
gathered on the subject is so much
junk. When Mr. Stevenson asks these
talesmen whether they would be preju
diced against a defendant for urging
preparedness he is using a subtle
strategy to get it before the jury, or
men who may be jurors."
Mr. Stevenson was allowed to pro
ceed by Judge Tucker.
The talesmen were of one mind on
all the questions. They would not, they
answered, regard a man as an anarchist
because he believed that international
difficulties could be settled without
bloodshed.
Term "Anarchist" Defined.
"While Mr. Stevenson was defining
the term "anarchist" as he said the
term was applied by the Tribune to Mr.
Kord, meaning one who spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars in attempting
to influence the public and congress
against preparedness, and thus weak
ening the government to the point of
anarchy, Mr. Lucking interrupted
hotly:
"We object, your honor. Why, on
that basis half the United States is
anarchistic. We object also to the as
sumption that the Tribune can create
definitions of words such as anarchy.
We decline to accept the Tribune as a
standard for -definitions."
The talesmen expressed themselves
Jn favor of preparedness, but admitted
that there was room for an honest dif
ference of opinion as to what consti
tutes preparedness.

SILVER LAKE YIELDS HAY
10,000-Acre Basin t Remain Dry
as Irrigation Work Extends.
Considerable grain hay was grown on
the 2000 acres of Silver lake that was
in cultivation In 1918. according to G.
N. Hickman, who has returned from
his claim in the northern part of Lake
county.
Mr. Hickman says that aDout to
squatters have located on land that
was formerly included in the bed of the
lake, which was entirely dry last year.
and which will be kept dry by tne di
version of the streams that fed It to
storage reservoirs for Irrigation. He
says that reports of the lake again fill
ing with water are not correct, and
that the depth of water does not any
where exceed six inches, which will
soon be evaporated He estimates the
total area of the like lands at about
10,000 acres.

CLEAN THE BLOOD
Taken from Nature The wild roots and barks that go into the

alcohol that soon became known all over the world.
The spring is the time of the year we should put our house in
order. We're run down after a hard winter after grippe, colds,

the remedies. Extracts of Queen's root, Stone root, Black Cherry
