~ SECOND FORD LIBEL FSUIT 1S SETTLED Manufacturer Makes Peace . ‘With Jewish Writer and Editor. ‘By ‘the Associated Press. _ NEW YORK, July 25.—Settlement ' ©f the $200,000 libel suit of Herman Bernstein, Jewish writer and editor, against Henry Ford was announced in correspondence published today. Mr. rnstein has received a letter of ve- traction and apology from the manu- facturer and has replied The suit was started four 3 out of a ser cles assailing the Jes ed in Mr Ford's g y born Independent, and an interview with Ford appearing in that publi- * “cation in which he was quoted as say- Ing that the published attack on the Jews was based on information given to him by Mr. Bernstein on the famous Ford peace ship. Mr. Ford, in addition to his apology. his letter shows, has agreed to pay art of the costs and to co-operate with r. Bernstein in obtaining the de- struction of foreign translations of & pamphlet entitled “The International Jew,” comprising articles taken from the Dearborn Independent. Announcement of settiement of the Buit was made by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for Bernstein, and follows by little more than a week settlement of the $1,000,000 libel suit of Aaron Sa- piro, against Mr. Ford. Two weeks of negotiations between himself and_Clifford B. Longley of Detroit, and De Lancey Nicoll, sr.. and Jr, and Martin C. Ansorg of New York, counsel for Ford, preceded publication of the letters, Mr. Untermyer said. Mr. Ford's Letter. - Mr, Ford's letter says: “I sincerely regret.any harm that fnay have been occasioned to the ipeople of that great race (Hebrew) and &am anxious to make whatever amends are possible. Y “I take this occasion, also, to re- %ract and apologize for those parts of ‘the article that appeared in the Dear- born Independent concerning you and for the alleged interview with me ‘assailing you that was published in that paper. * * * “I hope you will accept thig assur- ance ‘of my deep regret for whatever ‘was said in either of these articles. T have been made to realize that the articles in which you are charged with having furnished me with informa- tion on which the publications in the Dearborn Independent were based have brought down upon you the un- deserved wrath of your people, from which you have greatly suffered— both financially and in your peace of mind—and can only hope that this epology will set you right in this respect.” Apology Accepted. Accepting the apology, Mr. Bern- itein wrote: “It, fortunately for the Jews, so happened that the offending articles, ‘which falsely and without semblance ‘of excuse charged me with having im- parted to you personally on the peace ship the information upon which the wssaults imade upon the Jews in ‘the Dearborn Independent were based, made the proof of the falsity of the charges themselves competent, which awould not otherwise have been admis- ible under the rules of law. “Under these circumstances, Mr. Untermyer and I felt it our duty to our people that I avail myself of that ‘exceptional situation to establish thg falsity of the articles, . el FINGERPRINTS BRING ROBBERY CONFESSION Germantown, Md., Negro Admits » Robbing Store and Other Crimes, .

Age Discrepancy Alleged. When Fuchs was appointed to the tment in January, 1923, his age as s, the minimum at that time for an appointment to the force. But Fuchs also was employed at the Bureau of Mines and served in the Army durins the war, and his age records in these branches of the Government servive, it said, do not tally with the record given for his appointment to the police force. In fact, the Civil Service Commis- sion has been led to believe that Fuchs anced his age in order to come within the Police Department’s 25-year-age requirement. A hotly contested legal battle is anticipated when the case comes ‘o trial. Fuchs, it is said, has engaged a prominent Washington attorney to defend him, and also has obtained an affidavit from his mother certifying that he was 25 years of age when he was appointed to the police force.
