MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich. Aug. 15.
Tho jury In tho Henry Ford $1,
000,000 libel suit against the Chi
cago Trlbuno nwarded Ford six cents
in damages today. The case, during
the long period that evidence was be
ing heard, attracted country-wide in
terest, Involving ns It did the nation's
loading manufacturer.
It was on Juno 23, 1916, nfter Mex
ican bandits had raided Columbus. N
M. nnd nnd military preparedness was
a burning Issue, not only because of
the Mexicnn menace but because of
the conflagration In Europe, that the
Chicago Trlbuno printed its famous
editorial headed "Ford Is an Anar
chist." Editorial writers of tho Tribune
testified that thoy had followed Mr.
Ford's paclflsttc prcpagandn. hut had
not rocognlzod It ns n real danger to
the country until a news Item wns re
ceived from netrolt thnt Mr. Ford
wns trying to discourago the recruit
ing ot tho guard which had been or
dered to the nio CJrande. The Item,
authenticity of which was denied br
Ford witnesses, stated that tho Ford
company would not pay tho salaries
of employes who wont to tho border
hold their places for them nor care
for their dependents.
It was then thnt tho edltorlnl was
written. It called Mr. Ford nn "Ignor
ant Idoallst" and remarked that his
views on disarmament might bo dif
ferent if his factories wero on tho Itlo
Ornnde instead ot the peaceful Cnn
ndlan border.
Counsol for tho manufacturer .it
first filed suit In tho federal court nt
Chicago, but lator wlthdrow it and
instituted proceedings In tho stnte
court at notrolt. Horo tho Tribune
applied for a change ot venue nnd

cuit court of Macomb county, at Mt.

A fenturo ofUho case wns tho pro
duction by iho defendant ot mn-o
than twenty witnesses from tho Mex
ican border to testify to raids, mur
der' and othor nets which to tho .nln I
ot Trlbuno counsel established the
fact that there wns a condition of an
nr!hy along the I rider.
Everything Is In readiness for the
big Elks parade, which will march
promptly at 4 o'clock tomorrow af
ternoon from the Baldwin hotel..
There will h0 two floats, three bands,

Lodges all over tho state will turn
out In full numbers for tho big pa
rade that will be one ot the features
of the day. Just what stunts will
be pulled oft are unknown, but as
surance has been given by Salem,
Bend, Marshfleld, Portland and oth

The Klamath float, which the
Miles Sign company has been work
ing on for the past two weeks, will

canopied, gold-and-lpurplo throno

Tho flowing draperies at tho side
ot tho float will bo hold by young
ladles, who danco nlong carrying

and beautiful touch to tho whole
thing.
Forty (thousand dollars dtamago
was caused to tho machines, accessor
ies, and Interior of the Ford Garage
and machine shop at Ninth and Main
Streets in a spectacular fire that
broke out last night about 10:45 p.'
m , and for 30 minutes or moro jeop
ardized tho surrounding property
within a 200 foot radius.
No ono seems to know exactly how
tho fire started. It seemed as if tho
entire building were a seething mass
before the crowd3 that packed tho
streets could realize exactly what had
happened. According to E. L. Hosley,.
Joint owner of tho garage along with
Ed, John, and Charles Martin, tho
fire probably started in the wash
room from some unknown cause.
Four people were In the garage at ,
the time and their only recollection.
Is the springing up of flames about
them Just as they were ready to run.
their cars out of the garage.
In a minute the flames were shoot
ing to the skies, which coupled with
the moan of the fire siren, brought
great crowds ot merrymakers to the
scene. For blocks about spectators
watched the flames leap higher and
higher until it looked as it the prop
erty across Ninth Street would be
caught in the flames. Fully 1000 peo
ple watched the fire from the lawn
ot the schoolhou3, directly in front
of the garage.
Six lines of hose played furiously
from several sides of the building
and succeeded In choking off tho
flames from the Klamath Avenue
and Main Street entrances of the
building. Once the fire was localized
in the center of the building, where,
great quantities of oil were located.
It w-as certain that it could spread no
further.
Crowds that gathered to the sceno
of the fire immediately hurried-into
the rapidly burning building and
rolled out no less that 75 cars of alt
makes. Most of those saved had their
tops burned off and bodies damaged.
Spectators carried out close to $700
of accessories from the Main Street
entrance of the garage. Forty five
machines were completely ruined n
the conflagration.
Several tourists, who motored hero
for the state Elks convention, lost
their cars in the flro. Among them
is state senator W. T. Vinton, of
McMInnvllle, who drove to Klamnth
Falls with state senator Gus Moser.
ot Portland, Harry Waggoner, chief
salesman for the Apperson Motor
Company ot Portland, is minus his
big Apperson Six.
Only the quick action and willing
ness of some 50 volunteer firefight
ers saved the surrounding property
from destruction. Elks from over the
state forgot their convention pleas
ures and owrked for hours in calming
the flames. Even Mayor George L.
Baker of Portland, rushed to tho
scene and aided materially In direct
ing tho fighting.
Bucket brigades and two garden
hoso that were played on the side
and roof ot George Blehn's house,
located Just west ot the garage on
Klamath Avenue, saved it from going
up In the flames. Much furniture
and bedding was carried out of the
liouro by on-lookers, when It a.'f oar
ed certain that the homo would he
destroyed.
Tho building is owned by George
Blehn and Is partially covered by in
surance. He is uncertain exactly what
his loss will amount to. Martin Broth
ers and Hosley moved In tho garage
last April and kept one of the most
up-to-dato and modern garago? te-
