JENS AGAIN FLAY O FORD'S NEWSPAPER Resent Charges They Control World Finance New York, Dec. 13 (®—American Jews were in arms today against new charges in Henry Ford’s news- paper, the Dearborn Independent, that the “International Jew” con- trols finance, the Press, and reac- tionary and revolutionary elements of the world. Samuel Untermyer, New York lamyer, characterfzes the TFord charges as ‘‘rubbish” and “like the ravings of a madman” He chal- Janges Ford to ehter the jurisdic- tion of the federal court of this dis- trict and submit to service in a libet - Buit based upon previous similar charges. The debated statements are in the December 25 fssue of the Dear: born Independent, and refterate and enlarge upon previous etatements in the course of declining a challenge of Nathan Straus, philanthropist, *‘that Ford sefect eight out of a committee of ten leading publicists and ‘tlergymen of New York to weigh his allegations against the Jews. The Ford article says that such a Sury might not know if a Jewish question exists “and would not dare « to say so if it did.” It declares that the “International Jew” controls the financial centers of government, in- cluding the federal reserve system, owns or controls the Press, is chiefly responsible for making war, and is its chief profiteer. Mr. Untermyer denies that Jews control the financial centers, and says that the federal reserve system, of which Benjamin Strong is gov- ernor, “has 95 per cent of its man- agers and directors non-Jews and has no connection with the jews of the country.” Other Denials “The Jews do not own or control the two per cent of the press. How #ny man, no matter how ignorant, bigoted, or ‘brazen, could have the temerity to assert that ‘only pro-~ Jewish facts are admitted to print’ is beyond understanding, -except on the theory that he is just crazy. “The Jew has as much to do with making war as the Hottentot and he has not been a war profiteer unless Henry Ford and his like are Jews, which, fortunately for us, they are not.” Louls Marshall, Mr. Untermyer's former partner, who will be 70 to- morrow, said in a pre-birthday inter- view which had no connection with the Ford charges: "I don’t think we are as tolerant as we used to be. I can’t explain it—perhaps it is war ychology, something in the air of the times—such phases appear in every period of history. \ Mr. Marshall asserted that the constitution had become a platitude “lawyerg' talk, when it should be a holy of holles.” He said immigra- tion is now too greatly restricted because -of the growth of th, idea of stpremacy—*a myth R i Stephen ‘Wise declares the Ford charges are old defama- tions of the Jews which were prov- et forgeries by some of the fore- most scholars and religious leaders of the nation. Danfel Frohman, theatrical pro- ducer, does not care what Ford says about the Jewish influence in the theater or elsewhere, “a good Cath- olic, a good Jew, or a good Metho- dist is entitled to his opinions,” says Mr. Frohman, “and if Mr. Ford in- cludes himself In any of these cate- gorles, his opinfon is his.” A The Manson Newsx Agency, 1In Rochester, N. Y., which distributes newspapers and periodicals in west- ern New York, has announced through its president that it will re- fuse to distribute Ford’s paper here- after. Mr. Manson, who is secretary of the Natlonal Association of Maga- zine Distributo s also, terms the article *“prejudiced and unjustified.” GEM THIEF HUNTED. New York, Dec. 13 (A—A general search for Herman Rittner, alleged international gem thief, was ordered by police today.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 13 (A—Three men were under arrest today in con- nection with the slaying of Harry T".

(005 THAT DFVLEP T PNEUNON Persistent coughs and colds lead to perious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo "mulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and Theals the inflamed membranes and in- % hibits germ growth.

MAN REACHES PEAK, NOW IS DECLINING Any Change Now is Retrogressive, According to Prinoeton Professor Princeton, N. J., Dec. 13 (M—The progressive evolution of man has ceased and whatever change la tak- ing place at the present time is re- trogressive, Edwin Grant Conklin, head of the Princeton department of blology declared today. Professor Conklin, the author of many works on evolution, said it was the opinion of many careful i students of the subject that no mod- jern race is the Intellectual equal of the ancient Greek. “Evolution, either temporarlly or |permanently, has haited,” he faverred. “Since the beginning of |recorded history there have been |few and wholly minor evolutionary changes in the body of man, but iwhat changes have taken place have |been retrogressive, Chief among these are the decreasing size of the {little toe and perhaps a correspond- {irg increase In the size of the great toe, decreasing size and strength of the teeth, and probably a general lowering of the perfection of sense jorgans. These changes are mainly |degenerative ones due to the leas Irigid elimination of physical imper- | fections under conditions of civiliza- | {tion that In a state of barbarism or |savagery. | “There has been no notable pro- |gress in the Intellectual capacity of | |man in the last two or three thous- {and years, even in the most distant future there may never appear ;’gr(’ater genluses than Bocrates, | Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, New- |ton, and Darwin." | Asked whether the human race {might be improved by the henefits of eugenics, Dr. Conklin expressed the helief that by selective mating some important characteristics might be isolated as they appeared, and thus preserved, just as in the breeding of domestic animals. But he emphasized his conviction that eugenics will not lead to progressive evolution, with the formation of new characters and the emergence of a new type of man.

Finance Captain Taylor’s Wife Not Allowed to Land New York, Dec. 18 (P—Mrs. Georgette Taylor, wife of Captaln who was prevented from landing when she arrived with her husband on the steamship Suftren yesterday, was forced to spend another day on the ship today on account of a heavy fog which made it impossible to remove her and other aliens to Ellis Island for a hearing. Captain Taylor, Who was a mem- ber of General Willlam Wallace At- terbury's staff in the World War, remained with his wife aboard the Suffren when the immigration au- thorities informed her that she would not be allowed to land until Ellis Island had passed on the case. | She was told her passport papers were not in order.

Marbury Taylor, of Richmond, Va., | NWEW BRITAIN DAILY HERATLD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1926. “m Mighty Proud of These Daughters” THRILLING TALE BF WREGKED SHIP Seven Sailors Rescued Daring Storm at Sea Boston, Dec. 13 (®—The name of the British schooner Annabelle Cameron today wes added to the list of vessels lost in the terrific storms that have recently swept the At- lantic. Her crew of seven men were landed today by the fishing steamer Mariner. The Cameron, owned by Walter McNeil of New Glasgow, N. 8., and bound from Black River, N. S, for Vineyard Haven with 542,000 feet of lumber, was abandoned 48 miles north of Georges Shoal last Thurs- day. A tale of freezing in drenched clothing, and of suffering from hun- ger and thirst, was unfolded by the seven destitute men after they were taken from the battered and waters logged schooner. Although they lost their personal bélongings and had to go to the British consul to be outtitted for their return to their homes in the vicinity of Lunenburg, N. 8, the men said theye were thankful to be alive. The schooner was caught in the northeaster of Sunday, December 5. Her sails were blow away on Mon- day and heavy seas swept over her, flooding the living quarters and gal- ley, making the quarters uninhabit- able and ruining the food. The fresh water tanks were filled with salt water. One biz wave tore away their motor boat from the stern davits making escape impossible. Mean- while she drifted toward the shoal but a change in the current shunted her away. A few jugs of fresh water of which the members of the crew par- took sparingly was their only water supply. Hard pilot crackers were thelr only food. At night they took turns sleeping in the upper bunks of the forecastle, the lower part of which was flooded to a depth of several feet. A lucky shift of the wind carried the vessel to the fishing banks and on Thursday, for the first time, their, distress signals were seen by another stéamer. Last reports said that the schooner's 'mizzenmast was gone. Her crew believe that she is now a dismasted hulk and possibly broken up as a result of yesterday's gale.
