of any citixen to agree with anybody else on any subject on earth, whether It to the President, secretary of state or wha Every man has a right to hto own opinions and convictions and the right to advocate them in any reasonable way; and the only purpose of examining into Mr. Ford's has been as they might picture to you just exactly what the man to. what hto views were, and whether the characterisation of him as anarchist or as an ignorant idealist,

was Justifiable.

“On the other hand, a newspaper has the same right that an individual has to comment on and criticise matters of public interest or men In public life or anything else that may seem to them acta proper to criticise or comment on. providing they injure nobody. They have the same right an individual has— no more and no less No newspaper has the right to libel anybody for the sake of promoting their own opinions.” The court said the question of military preparedness was admitted in testimony for only one purpose, namely, as bearing on the good faith of tbe Tribune in orltlctoing Mr. Ford. ^ Touche* on Fair CommenL On th# subject of "fair comment” the court said In part: “Upon the question of fair comment if you become satisfied thst the charges or characterisations contained in the editorial in question are true in substance that will end your consideration of the case and your verdict will be for toe defendant no ca.U8e of action. because that truth is a defense If it is true they had a right to say It “If you do not become satisfied that the characterisation or charges in the editorial are true, you may then consider whether they constitute fair com-

ment or not”

Open to Fair Criticism.

“I think,” Judge Tucker said, “that Henry Fo^ by hto public act* an* utterances upon the different phases of the questions relating to toe war, to the national defense and to the enforcement and protection of the rights of American citixena—possibly not to the war at that time, as the world war had not then commenced. I mean we were not in it; that you will treat this queetlcm as It existed at the time prior to our entry into the wwld war, of coruse—rendered hts view and his conduct in this respect open to comment or fair criticism. The right to indulge in such criticism was one which was possessed not only bv the Tribune company, and other newspapers. but by any citixen, for the question was one of public interest, and one which was being discuaaed by Henry Ford aa such. Those who, like tlte Tribune company, dtffwred from Henry Ford upon these questions, have toe same right which be claimed for himself. of attacking hto Judgment, hto viewa hto conduct and the result which would be accomplished by the theories which he advocated, if successful. ‘They might not. however, attack hto

Nor should such critk^m exceed *the bounds of fair oonuaent as explained to you heretofore, what fair conunnit really is. Within thoee bounds they meet keep, whether new«ppaper or IndlviduaL”

“It to, of course, well known, the Judge said, “that at the time the editorial was published the national guard had been called out to sand to the Mexi-

"It was also well known that a state of Reorder and lawhmanesa which authorities were unable to stop, existed in Mexico and ahmg the border.

Apple Situation Reviewed.

“The statement was made that excessive profits were the rule on apples on the market August 12. On investigation I find that the purchase prices ranged from 5 cents a pound for inferior grades that could be bought by the consumer at four pfnmds for 25 cents or a gross profit to tke retailer of 20 per cent., to 8 and 9 cents a pound for fancy apples that could be bought by the consumer at from 10 to 12^ cents a pound, or a gross profit of 20 to 93% per cent In Investigating prices on perishable produce the consumer must always figure that while the gross per cent of profit may seem large, the dealer must deduct his per cent, of loss on waste he suffers due to the fact that every

customer wants the best.”

The retail price ranged from 35 to 50 cents a doxen Inside the market house one standholder asked 50 cents a dozen for laiK# ears, or 5 cents a piece. Tomatoes were retailing at 5 cents a pound, and some of them for' three pounds for 10 cents For a basket containing approximately a bushel 31.35 to 31.50 was asked Potatoes retailed at two pounds for L5 cents or SO cents a peck String beans, two pounds for 35 cents.

Two women who keep stands on tbe west side of the courthouse square were discussing the agitation about the high cost of living. “Are you going to bring down the high cost?” asked one of them, who went on: “I’m not 1 can't afford to sell for 1ms.

They all gathered information on prices, interviewed fanners and observed condi-

It to admitted by the county commissioners that only a very small per cent, of these standholders are actual producers. but Iniy either from farmers or commission men and add a good margin

of pre^t.

Cbmmtesioner Haj'es proposed that all ncmproducers be barred from the street and premises adjacent to the courthouse and that the space be used only by ga^eners and farmers. In order to provide a system for enforcing the proposed rule, Mr. Hayes says that it would be a good plan to provide all producers deairtag to sell their products at ihe courthouse with large badges marked “proaucer.” which they would be expeetM to wear while making sales _ When Mr. Hayes made toe proposal to County Commissioner Carlin H. Shank, the latter waa a trifie ekepticat

abotR toe plan, but said that he would

take It under consideration. Doubted Legal Authority.

Mr, Shank feared the commiaeioneni would not have legal authority to enforce toe rales. It was contended by Mr. Hayes that the c^mimioners have full authority ia the matter, as the law supports county commussioners who exerctoe authority over hitching space sround courthouses.

There is a sugar shortage In Indiana, and he asserts that it is extortion to take advantage of this situation, and that those who have been doing such business should be punished “I want the public as well as the dealers to know that my oIBce will not stand for that sort of thing,” said Mr. Wyckoff. “If such offenses go unpunished the whole movement against profiteering will be discredited " Mr. Wyckoff said that a representative of the Kenny company called at his office and admitted the higher charges for sugar. Mr, Wyckoff said that the company was offering to return the overcharge to those who had paid it and had done so, but he said that that was not a penalty, which he thinks should be enforced. « Say* There Is No Law on IL H V. McLeland, manager of the Indianapolis branch of C. D. Kinny Company, said that when asked about the complaints recelvel by Mr. Wyckoff, the company haa charger 11 cents for sugar. He said there was no law whatever against it. He said that the sugar equalization board had tried to hold the wholesale price at 10 cents, and had asked Jobbers not to go above It Before the announcement of the sugar board he said that the Kinney Company had gone above 11 cents, for the company felt that It either had to Increase Its price or shut down, there being a shortage of sugar. “Muc hof the time we undersell the member sof the wholesale Jobbers association. and whenever they get a chance they try to pick a flaw,” he said Admltss Returning Overcharge. He was asked whether the company had sent back to Mr. Thornburg, of Knightstown, the alle|:ed overcharge. He said that the compan yhad returned Mr. Thornburg’s check, for Thornburg had declared he could not sell the sugar and compete with other dealers who had bought wholesale for less. Mr. McLeland said that hto company had an office at Washington City and he had np doubt it understood what the

law is.

This morning he received a telegram from the Baltimore house of the company referring to the charges made agahis tthe company at Wheeling, W, Va.. the telegram reading: "Wish to Inform you we have done nothing wrong. Welcome an investi-

gation."

"We don’t go into any combination." said McLeland. “We undersell the market practically all the time and the

combination has it in for us ” Asks Case Withdrawn.

T. S. Thornburg, of Knightstown, who made iT complaint against the Kenny company to B4r. Wyckoff, later asked to withdraw the charges. Mr. Wyckoff answered that "these charges have already been filed for Investigation and action, and your entire correspondence has been submitted to the dUtertment of Justice, and we are unable To withdraw

same at this time."

An invoice sent in by CTharles R. Gregory, grocer of Washington, show* that Bierhaos Bros., of IVncennes. charged 311.2S a hundred pounds for a barrel of sugar billed July 28. The bill to staunped at the bottom as follows: "U. S Food Administration License No. Q 0090L” Mr. Gregory wrote that while Bierhaus Brothers was charging 31L25 and 311.50. a Terre Haute wholesaler was charging 39.85, but that the Terre Haute firm was sup^ying only Its regular trade.

Situation at His Store. Mr. Gregory went on to say:

"My customers are wondering why I have to sell my sugar for 12% cents a pound, when they can go to other stores and buy the same sugar for 11 cents. I wish ^ou would kindly investigate this and give me an answer so that 1 can explain my sugar situation to my cus-

A deputy from Attorney-General

StaJtebury's office called on Mr. Wyckoff to discuss the information Mr. Wyckoff had filed about sugar overcharges. Tbe deputy said that under a state law.

punishment could be meted out Hr. Wyckoff then said it eeemed to

him that punishment could be administered under both federal and state law. Under the former, he said, licensee to handle sugar could be revoked, and he thought there might be a more severe penalty. The United States district

attorney’s crffice is investigating. Mr. Wyckoff said Marion and Evans-

possible.

Democratic members were understood to have opposed the calling of all witnesses on the ground that virtually every senator had made up hto mind how he would vote, and that public sentiment demanded that a vote in the senate should not be unduly delayed. Fear tt Means Delay. By those, who wish to see the peace question settled as soon as possible, there waa considerable concern today over the possibility that the new moves might mean delay. Delay has been one of the objects of the so-called bitterenders. It is realized that there Is a difference between taking up time for adequate discussion of the provleions of the league of nations draft and various other phases of the situation and the use of wanton delaying tactics. Senators Borah, of Idaho; Johnson, of California: Fall, of New Mexico, and Moses, of New Hampshire, have been using parliamentary tactics, the chief effect of which would be to slow up action on the treaty. It to said that the belief of those who are in out-and-out opposition to the treaty believe that as time goes on sentiment against the treaty will be greater. They believe that the interest being aroused in the high cost of living will work to this effect. The discussion In the committee was started by a letter from senators Borah and Johnson, asking that more witnesses be called, which was laid before the committee by Chairman Lodge^ Letter to Committee. The letter was aa follows: “We deem absolutely essential before the hearings be closed upon the Oerman treaty, now under consideration that the following witnesses be called, and that the committee be informed, as they are not now Informed, of the knowledge of these gentlemen: “1. General Taaker Bliss, Mr. Henry White. Colonel Edward M. House; as to the various circumstances connected with the treaty, and particularly concerning the league of nations, the reparation clauses, territorial dispositions and with special reference to the Shantung award. "2. Professor Williams, of the University of California, and Dr. Hornbeck. both of whom were experts in relation to oriental affairs and both of whom are familiar with the Japanese and CliiBese
