W YORK, July 3.—Henry Ford granted permission yesterday for commission of interrogatori to examine witnesses in Jurope in con- nection with the libel sult brought against him by Herman Bernstein, asking $200,000. Judge Hand rendered the decision, in which the original request by at. torneys for Mr. Ford for an open commission to take testimony in the European capitals was refused. The testimony desired detalls with the publitation by Bernstein of minutes of the so-called “Russian Committee for Saving the Fatherland.” Bernstein nanvd the Dearborn pub- lishing Co., owned by Ford and pub- lishing the Dearborn Independent, as co-defendant, alleging that articles printed in it in 1921 had attacked him. Mr. Ford, in this phase of the suit, sought the testimony of former Rus- sian monarchists and officers to dis- prove Bernstein's contention that the statements in the Dearborn Inde- pendent regarding the committee were false. < Judge Hand held that the evidence sought would not play so vital a part in the trial “as to justify the great expense of the open commission.” Bernstein is editor of the Jewish Tribune, FATHER DENIES GUILT.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 3.—The Chamber of Deputles yesterday voted against seat- ing Baron Maurice de Rothschild, whose election as deputy for the Hautes-Alpes Department in August, 1924, was contested on the charge of corruption. The.vote yesterday was 209 to 86, with 285 absent or not vot- ing. The baron, who is one of ,the wealthiest men in France, never voted in the Chamber, as the validity of his election was held up pending the in- quiry. It was reported by the commis- sion” appointed to investigate the charges against him that he spent in the neighborhood of 1,600,000 francs in donations, although he would have been. elected whether he spent the money or not. Most of the money went to people who did not keep their promises, the report said. The committees finally concluded in favor of making the election valld be- cause large expenditures are always customary in the Department of Hautes-Alpes, but the Chamber yester- day, voting largely on party lines, failed to take that view. Another election, in which Baron de Rothschild probably will be a candi- date, is to be held to fill the seat. WILL CONTINUE SUIT.

BULGARIA WELCOMES AMERICAN COLLEGE Land Given for Instisation Which’ Will Need $1,000,000—Part to Be Raised in U. S. /s By tho Assoclated Press. SOFIA, July 3—Sofia soon will have an American university. Plans were completed this week by the trustees of the American schools at Samo- kov, Bulgaria, for the erection of a series of college buildings in the sub- urbs of the capital. The Bulgarfan government has made a gift to the Americans of a large plot of land as a site for the new uni- versity, which will be open to both sexes, It also has alloted without charge about $50,000 worth of timber with which to begin the work. The néw university will cost about $1,000,000: About one-fourth this sum is already in hand: the balance the trustees hope to raise in the United States by poluntary contributions Construction will begin in September. Stephan Miloshey, a promter of the new Institution, said the trustees in planning the university had two ob- jects in mind; first, to replace the present old and dilipidated buildings of the American schools at Samokov, Bulgaria, which are wholly inadequate for existing needs; and, second, to erect a fitting institution for the hun- dreds of students in the Near East who, because of political or other rea sons, are unable to enter Robert Col lege and the American girls' school at Constantinople. to the Develepment & Construction ¥ pee plans to spend $50,000,000 in of Batimore fog $25,262.50 also is| highway and bridge construction and 4 4
