'"Thursday, May 26, 1927 Ford To Begin Producing New Car That Has Speed, Style and Low Cost Detroit, Mich., May 25.—Early pro duction of a no,v Ford car superior I in design ami |>erforiiinitee to any | now available in (he low-priced. light- i car field was announced today by the Ford Motor company, Henry Ford de signer of. the car. and Kdisel Ford, i president of (he company. Roth stated that within the next few weeks they will give a cmoplete description of the new model. Henry Ford, speaking of (he new car. said: “With new Ford we pro pose to continue .in the light-car field which we created on the same basis of quantity production we have al ways worked, giving high quality, low trice and constant service. We began work on this new model several years i ago. In fact, the idea of a new car i has been-in my mind much longer than 1 i that. But the sale of the “T” model ’ continued at such a pace that there i never seemed to be an opportunity to 1 “Triangle” Breaks Movie Rule; Erring Wife Back Home' By ROBERT WALLACE (International News Service Staff Correspondence) Cleveland, 0., May 25. —The ‘'eter nal triangle." well known home wreck er, always leads to divorce, suicidq, murder or maybe a lynching, accord ing to the best-regulated movies. But there are exceptions. Witness the case of Mrs. 8. B. Marshall and' Harry Staples, both of Norfolk, Ya. I Stuples, a contractor, lived just across the street, in Norfolk, from 8. B. Marshall, a former sea captain. 1 They were close friends and each had a wife and two children. Several weeks ago Mrs. Marshall 1 asked Mrs. Staples to drive her down! to the boat landing, explaining that' she was making a short trip to Hart- i ford. Conn. Mrs. Staples did. When t!ie boat landed in Hartford, i someone discovered that Mrs. Marshall i was not on board and. in fact, had j not been seen during the trip. Her! suitcase and purse, containing about! s2l). were found in her stateroom. Complete mystery surrounded the: disappearance and authorities finally, decided that “poor Mrs. Marshall” i have accidentally fallen over-' Vlxsiid or perhaps committed suicide, j A few days later, Harry Staples informed his wife that business called him to the north and that lie might be gone for some time. Mrs. Staples began thinking over the whole mat ter. She remembered that her hus band and her "deceased" neighbor had not been exactly what you'd call un friendly. Staples wrote from Cleveland, re-j questing his wife to address his mail here .general delivery. Instend Mrs I Staples communicated with federal au thorities in Cleveland, asking then! to WHEN IT COMES TIRES! We offer you the finest equipment that the world’s largest tire factory can produce.

Even now I the business is so brisk thnt we nre | up against the proposition of keeping the factory going on one model while we tool up for another.- 1 am glad | of this because it will not necessitate j a total shut-down. Only a compara tively few men will be out at a time ! while their departments are being j tooled up for the new product. At one time it looked as if 70,000 men might be laid off temporarily, but we have now scaled that down to less than 25.000 at a time. The lay-off will be brief, because we need the men and we have no time to waste. Jf‘ present ! I can only say this about the new model—it has speed, style, flexibility and control in traffic. There is noth ing quite like it in quality and price.

They did. and Mrs. Staples was' right. Mrs. Marshall was there. Staples was arrested on a charge of violating the Mann act and Mrs. Marshnll was held as a material wit i ness. | Then something surprising hap pened. Captain Marshall arrived in town and talked to his wife. Next, 'lie went to .lohn Osmuii, assistant United States district attorney, and • asked permission to take Mrs. Mnr -1 shall home. ! "But isn't she going to testify against Staples''" Osinuu inquired. ! "No." replied the sen captain. I "We’ve decided to let bygones be by ! gones. I love my wife ami am ov j erjo.ved to know thnt she's still alive." | ‘‘But aren't you going to bring I charges against Staples?" "I am not," Captain Marshall re ] plied rather impatiently. ’Til do : nothing that might injure my wife's ' name.” I Osnnin dropped Weakly into a chair, i 'That stomps me," he murmured. ! "If neither of you will testify against him. I'll probably have to let your boy friend go. It looks like a happy ending all around.” Staples, however, won't know how happy the ending is for him, until he | gets back lo Norfolk and faces his wife. | i South Bend Tribune—The tic. of course, will never be swum.

Lecturing to the United Stntes Institution re cently. Commander Crauford said he found the city of Ophir exactly where it ought lo be—in Arabia, about 400 miles east of Aden. The city, with its ruined temple of Oml, is now little more than ruins, which have been visited by many sea men and political agents, he said, but they have never identified it., The commander suggested that excavations on the,site would be richly repaid, and said that the land, which was miner- 1 ally wealthy, should be developed. “The city is ideally situated,” he said. “It has a harbor to the north and has a river which gives wharf space for a seaport. But a thin ribbon of coral sand is drawn across the har ■ bor month. It is this strip of sand that strangled the life'of Ophir. There I is great wealth in Ophir still.

WISyART DENIES HE PERFORMED OPERATION Ilia Testimony Features Hearing of Abortion Cane in Hickory Court. Hickory, May 25.—Seven witnesses for the defence in the Carpenter abor tion case gave their testimony in the preliminary hearing before Judge W. B. Coniicill in Hickory recorder’s court here today and the trial went into a night session with the prospect of con cluding sometime tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be the beginning of the | fourth day in the unusually long pre . liminnry hearing. , The contentions of both the state and the defense have become clearly outlined by this time and the battery of 17 attorneys engaged in the sen sational legal battle here were fight ing today with a last minute vigor. The state is charging that Dr. Charles I. Hnnsucker, prominent Hick ory physician, and W. F. Fogle, money broker of this city, entered into a conspiracy with four other defendants named in a true bill now pending in the Mecklenburg Superior court to have an illegal operation performed upon Miss Margaret Carpenter, pretty young girl of Newton. The Btnte has attempted to establish that Fogle sent the girl to Dr. Hnnsucker for illegnl purposes and that Hunsucker sent her to Dr. W. E. Wishart, of Charlotte. Thp state is also attempting to estab lish that Clarenece Heavnar, son of a prominent Hickory man, conspired with the defendants Fogle and Hun sucker and that he took the girl to Charlotte where the alleged operation was jierforiiied. With the defense at the 'bat. today an outline of its con tentions became established. The de fense has attempted to show that Fogle and Hnnsucker had no dealings : whatsoever, that Fogle never paid Hunsucker any money, thnt what medicines Hunsucker gave the prose cutrix were such that are given in the ordinary course of a physician's prac tice and thnt Miss Carpenter paid for the medicines. The offense is also at tempting to show that the prosecutrix jled Heavnnr to believe lie was to j blame for her condition and that i whatever aid lie rendered her was done ill his own interest and not ns ! the result of a conspiracy between the j other defendants. j Because Hunsucker and Fogle are I being tried in this court and Heavnar 'nnd Wishart and the others nre to be i tried in the Mecklenburg court the hearing here hns been halted time 'after time by objections as to the lcompetency of testimony, j The first witness to take the stand I when court convened this morning was I)r. Glenn Long, of Newton. He ] testified as to the abortion on April 14 of last yenr. W. F. Fogle was then | called to the stand in his own de ! sense nnd in ' his direct examination |of more than an hour he related rai ; nntely all the details from the time he employed Miss Carpenter until the time this action was started. He de nied ever having made improper pro posals to her. He refuted her testi mony on the previous day in the whole and in detail. He identified a papw- writing she had admitted to signing, absolving him from all blame. Dr. Wishart was next called to the 1 stand. His testimony was one of the i highlights of the day. He swore thnt Miss Chriienter came to his office on February 14 and told him thnt. Dr. Hnnsucker had sent her. He testified that lie told her he resented any such proiKisal as she mnde ami turned her away after tearing bis name off of a piece of paper alleged to have been given her by Dr. Hunsacker bearing the names of I)r. Wishart and Dr. George Petway. He testified that after pressing her as to what Hunsucker told her, the girl admitted thnt Hun sucker had told her something about going to a rescue home in. Charlotte. He testified that the next time he saw her was on the street in Char lotte and the third time was when he was called by the manager of a Char lotte hotel to see her after the alleged operation had been performed. He swore that he ■would never have called if he had known who he was to see. Dr. Wishart said she told him she had had the operation but could not tell him who performed it because she was blindfolded. He said he gave her some medicine to relieve her pain and refused to accept any fees from her. He said he had never accepted any fees. The next witness was Clarence Heavnar, one of the defendants in the action iiending in Mecklenburg county. He testified, amid one ob jection after another, that the girl led him to believe that he was re sponsible for her condition and that lie acted independently or without the knowledge of either Hunsucker or Fogle. He swore that he let her have sl<so in Charlotte just prior to the alleged operation. P. G. Heavnar, father of Clarence, was the next witness and he testi fied that his son called him and asked for $125. He said he sent the money to Reginald Mortis in Charlotte, as asked. Miss Mattie Sherrill swore thnt she saw Miss Carpenter sign the paper absolving Fogle in the Statesville hos : pital and she stated that the prose cutrix sit id she "would sign, a ’ thous and pa tiers if necessary.” , \ The last witness during the after noon sessiou was Mrs. Guy Fyennedy, owner of the house .Where’ the*prose cutrix stayed during her time in Hickory. She swore that Misa Car penter told he she was calling on J>r. Hnnsucker because of a cold and pains in her side. THe witness testi fied thnt Miss Carpenter did not take but one or two doses of the medicine prescribed. Caught in the Act. * A young man entered the new of fice of the new young lawyer. De siring to impress the caller, the young lawyer picked up the phone and began to talk: “Ah— indeed —3 o’clqck—yes but please be prompt; I am extreme ly busy—ah, yes—s3oo-r-yes ; that is myfseah—goodby.” He hung tip the receiver and turn ed briskly to the stranger. “No\V, my’ good sir, what can I do for you?” "Nothing," said the man. “I’ve just come to connect yotlr telephone." Gossip may not he intentionally malicious, but it is a dangerous pat i time provocative of much misery. YOUNG AGRICULTURISTS GOING TO CAPITAL “4-H” Boys and Girls to Visit Washington Next Week.

Spring Water Controversy Continues Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 26. — The spring water controversy continues. "Yes. I have been buying spring water for use in this office, nnd any other department head can do the same thing if he wants to.” snid Bax ter Durham, state auditor, when asked if he were using spring water instead of Raleigh city water, as do all the other state departments with the exception of the Supreme Court. He declared t thnt no special appro priation 4or Spring ivnter' was neces sary, arid that department heads could get it if they wanted it, just , as they bought pencils or ink or any other office Ruppiies. Durham denied that he hnd re ceived any notification from the bud get bureau about it, although he did recall hearing some one say that the bureau was objecting to it, adding that he had not paid much atten tion to it. However, the Budget Bureau states that several memoranda have been . sent to the auditor's office dealing with the subject of spring water, and calling attention to the fact thnt under the present budget system, ex penditures cannot be made by any department for other than purposes listed by* that department in submit ting its budget to the budget bureau. And since no department or depart ment head hns listed spring water among any of the items in their bud gets hence no expenditure for j spring water can be allowed.

A district court upheld the wife's claim, but a higher court reversed the decision and held that it had not been affirmatively proven that the will was merely a scheme to prevent the estranged wife from getting the money, as charged by the wife. The veterans'. bureau and the wife must assume the burden of proof, the appellate court held. -The PAGE THREE Supreme Court denied the lawful wife a review of the decision. $3 The Real Damage. /ij The Policeman (after the examina tion of the victim of motor accident, to motorist) —’{'his is goin* to In serious for you.
