EDSEL MODEL A IS , HELD 'SIMPLE. ’ CONVENTIONAL' Make 70 Miles an Hour in Mud; Brakes On, It Keeps Road. ONLY 650 READY NOW Frepare for Big Production, but Continue Parts for T Owners. 13 h United Press DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 30.—The millions of Model T Ford owners, who have maintained their own cars, will find nothing baffling in the new Ford. The car, known as Model A, was exhibited today to newspaper men. Mechanically it was simple, a “conventional car,” to use the words of Edsel Ford, who explained the working parts, after sending the United Press correspondent for a ride. “You see,” Ford said, “it’s much simpler than the old car.” That was surprising after all the advance notice received. But the surprise was nothing compared to the thrill of that ride. v Makes Seventy Miles Through a dense woods, down a little used dirt road, the car sped at seventy miles an hour. The throttle was wide open. Rain, mingled with slushy snow, poured from the sky softening the road and making it slippery. “An exciting ride,” had been promised. It was. Speeding seventy down the treacherous road, the driver jerked the steering wheel from side to side, careening crazily. The correspondent shut his eyes and covered his face. But the new Ford held the road. After the wild ride was completed, Edsel Ford explained that the occupants had been perfectly safe. “It would be a very hard job to turn that car over,” he said. “It is perfectly balanced and the low center of gravity assures safety and stability. “But the big thing about this car is, that, despite performance, it is very simple. People who own Fords now and are mechanically inclined will enjoy working with this car. The Model T was revolutionary, but the new Model A is unusually simple and convenient.” Ford turned from a discussion of the simplicity of operation and construction to point out a unique fea-ture-windshield glass which will not shatter. Continue “T” Parts The matter-proof windshield was obtained by puttting a thin layer of celluloid between two sheets cf glass. , Then he denied that the Ford Motor Company would discontinue manufacturing parts for the Model TANARUS, of which there are millions throughout the world. “About one-fourth of our plant is devoted to making parts for the old car right now,” Ford said. “That per cent, however, will decrease as we swing into capacitl production of the new car. Q —How many of the new cars are being built now? A—Only about sixty-four a day. Q —How many have been built? A—Only about 650 exist at this minute. They have been distributed to strategic cities throughout the country for show purposes Friday. Q—How fast will production pick up? A—About 1,000 per day per week. That is, beginning Jan. 1 we hope to put out 1,000 cars the first week, 2,000 the second week and so on until we are making about 8,000 cars a week. 200,000 Orders Q —Will it require more men to build these new cars than were needed to make the Model T? A—We hope it will not require as many, but it is at present. We haven’t the automatic machinery perfected yet, but it is being developed. Q—What about price? A—lt will be anounced later. Q —You have been credited with A TRUE COUGH REMEDY—TRUST IT Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound concerns every one who has a cough, a cold, an irritated throat, or a bronchial affection. From the careful chemical process that combines pure pine tar, fresh demulcent hpney and other ingredients of proven medicinal value, there results a peculiar quality for healing, characteristic of this true cough and cold remely.

Remus Case ‘Other Man ’

. v . - : • : 'IB

This picture of Franklin L. Dodge Jr. was taken in the office of the prosecutor at Cincinnati where Dodge, former secret service man, waited to testify in the trial of George Remus, former bootleg king, for the murder of his wife. Remus has charged that Mrs. Remus and Dodge conspired to rob him while he was in Atlanta penitentiary. It is the first picture obtained of Dodge.

HA-HA FROM REMUS

Snorts in Triumph at His Foes

CINCINNATI, Nov. 30.—George Remus, who was a lawyer before he was a bootlegger, is winning his most celebrated case. He has begun to snort derisive laughter at the prosecutors who for the last two

George Remus

an unusual finance plan to enable people without the money to buy this car. Do you have such a plan? A—No. I read about it. It provided, as I recall, for an initial payment of about SIOO and $12.50 per month indefinitely. Whenever desired, according to the plan, the purchaser would return the car and get anew one. It sounds very interesting. At the time I read it I didn’t pay much attention to it, but I think I am going to look info it. I find myself thinking about it every once in a while. More than 200,000 orders for the new cars had been received by Ford dealers, with deposits, he declared. Ford said theft insurance rates on the new car would be unusually low, in contrast to high rates charged for the Model T. This as a result of working in close harmony with the underwriters association wnich fixes insurance rates, when perfecting the ignition locking device. Ford said it was practically impossible to drive the car off under its own power without the ignition key. t) PICK MOVIE WINNER Doris Faucett Gets ‘Mary’ Part in Contest. Doris Faucett, 2508 E.

weeks have been trying to drive him to the electric chair for the murder of his wife. It is laughter that must be heard to be appreciated. It iss'-cT T —n f ’-' nose and resembles that well-known sound known as "the uxia. It is such laughter as may be heard at a poker table when the man who has drawn a full house shows his hand to the one who has been betting on three aces. Remus holds the better hand. The prosecutor may have something that will be /revealed in rebuttal, but Remus is presenting a story of the kind that causes American juries to weep and to send the prisoner rejoicing on his way, clad in the raiment of virtue. u * ONE need but sit in the audience of the courtroom to learn what the jury is thinking about, for the audience is composed of the same kind of human beings as the jury. The man at our right might be a brother of the little man in the jury box. His indignation increases as he listens to the recital of George

Remus’ tribulations from the mouths of witnesses. Remus, having returned from his prison cell, is represented climbing into the window of his own house, all the doors having been spiked against him by the wife of his bosom, according to the testimony. “Into his own house he had to climb,” says the man at our right. “Locked out of his own house,” echoes his indignant neighbor. Remus, still wearing the garb he had on when he left the prison, is presented to the jury as walking through the echoing rooms of his empty house, pillaged, as he claims, by his wife. "Who wouldn’t go crazy to see that,” says the woma/. on our left. “It would drive me crazy,” observes her neighbor. U tt St

AFTER beholding the devastation of his $750,000 house, Remire goes about to learn how this disaster came to pas From this one and that he hears about Franklin L. Dodge, Jr., the official who sent him to prison. The watchman tells him he saw Dodge in the house several times. Another recites that Dodge helped pack the furniture before it was carted away. “It certainly would knock me cuckoo to hear a thing like that,” says the man behind, us. “I would be a candidate for the booby hatch myself,” says his neighbor. This is the mind of the public as Remus’ witnesses offer the jury the thick catalog of the woes that Remus says wrecked his mind and maddened it with a murderous impulse. From this public the jury was drawn. u u n REMUS appears quite content with the State of his affairs. About him is none of the air of the disconsolate prisoner. His eyes seek his prosecutor, from his nose issues a satiric snort. This isn’t the way a prisoner on trial for his life is expected to behave. He should sit in stupid silence, a dumb pawn on a chessboard. Here and there a smile about the eyes of a juryman indicates that he is enjoying Remus. So it goes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MRS. ENGLISH GIVES REASONS FOR BIG DEAL Wishes of Late Husband Are Carried Out in Every Detail, She Says. (Details of Efease on Page 1) Reasons for the negotiation of the ninety-nine-year lease upon the English Theater and north half of the English Hotel property to the Market Circle Realty Company were given today by Mrs. William E. English in this statement: “This lease has been negotiated in compliance with the order of Judge Bash of the Marion Probate Court, after my suit last May to construe Captain English's will, because of several apparently conflicting phrases. “I am very much pleased, as in making this lease I only am consummating the lease Captain English already had started the year of his death, last year, and one he had contemplated since making the Market Circle lease in 1919. I am very much in hopes that my cotrustees, the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, will see its way clear also to execute this lease. Is Maintained Intact “By leasing to the Market Circle Realty Company, I have maintained intact this quarter segment of the Circle, and this I consider most desirable to the city and to the property on the Circle, not only as to values, but also as to beauty. Also, I have held together by this lease property in the possession of the English family since 1865 until the present time, and this, too, was the desire and intention of my husband. “I have carried out his every wish, even in that I have kept the name 'English’ in the property, either singly or hyphenated, for all coming generations, and this I owed to his cherished memory. I also have reserved the family heads upon the front of the building for my sole ownership in case of any future wrecking of the buildin. “Among these heads are those of Captain English and our daughter, Rosalind. Captain English had made a separate agreement with the Market Circle Realty Company as to his possession of the Governors’ sculptured heads upon the southwest segment, which he desired to present to Indiana, and in case of any future building upon this ground, I shall do with these heads as he intended. “So far as I know, no change will take place in the property for some years to come, and I am now making extensive alterations in my own apartment on Meridian St. and the Ciiyle, where I always shall reside. I have no intention of leaving the Hotel English, as this spot is dear to me, •and has been my home for many years. “In making this lease, I feel that I greatly have enhanced the value of the large gift which Captain English made to charity at my death. This property alone at the present time nets SBO,OOO a year, and it, by Captain English’s will, reverts in its entirety to the charities of Indianapolis, through the Indianapolis Foundation. * Income to Be Large “In years to come tills property will net $95,000 a year, and, according to the will, this income is to be used ‘without regard to race, color or creed’ for the charities of Indianapolis and Scott County, and I am very much pleased to know that, by this lease, l have established for the charities of our city, ultimately, a net rental of $105,500 a year. “At my death I have every confidence that this is of such vast importance that nothing will be left undone by such men as Josiah K. Lilly, Henry W. Bennett, Monsignor Gavisk, G. A. Efroymson, Louis H. Levey and Henry H. Holbrook, who now constitute the Indianapolis Foundation, or their successors duly appointed, and who will carry out the wishes of Captain English. “The bequest nearest to his heart and mine is the memorial to our only child, our daughter Rosalind, whereby he gave in his will ‘Englishton Park,’ his birthplace, in southern Indiana, and its extensive acreage, to the children of Marion and Scott Counties, to be called ‘The Rosalind English Home for Sick and Indigent Children.’ "His first consideration after my death, as expressed in his will, is that sufficient income shall be taken from this very large income to maintain this beautiful memorial for little children in her name. “In view of this memorial being so important to both of us, I now am personally maintaining ‘Englishton Park’ at an expense of more than $15,000 a year, so that eventually it may pass into the hands of the Indianapolis Foundation in perfect condition as a memorial to our daughter. “The residue of the income then will be used by the Indianapolis Foundation each month in Marion County for all charities, and will be disbursed through the Indianapolis Foundation.”

Calendrino was released under $15,000 bond, pending his decision as to appeal. “Plenty of good officers are in their graves in this State from bootleggers’ bullets.” Baltzell declared Calendrino's attorney, Sherman 'Ball, of Louisville, declared a machine gun found in Calendrinos car was for defense against hi-jackers and not for use against officers. When Stabile asked leniency because of several small sons, Baltzell declared he realized the sons are innocent sufferers, but said he must guard the ether boys, the sons of the men to whom the liquor you transported was sold.” • Other Sentences Saturday Other defendants will be sentenced Saturday by Federal Judge Robert' C.

BEWARE THE COOGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You ean stop them now with Crcomulslon, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take.

Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist.—Advertisement. ’ ,
