Anderson, former partner of Mr. Ford at the tax appeal hear- ! ing here in which former minority stockholders of the Ford company are opposing an additional levy of | ‘more than $30,000,000 against their 1919 incomes, enhanced by the sale | of their holdings to Mr. Ford. Anderson, with Horace 'H. Rack- ham drew the original incorpora- tion papers of the Ford Motor com- pany and invested $5,000 in the Mo- tor company. The government now wants $1.438,826.35 additional in- come taxes on the profits Anderson made on the sale of his stock to Mr. Iord. Profits Were Forescen | Anderson’s testimony was designed | by appellants’ counsel to support their contention that greatly in- creased production and profits could be foreseen long before March 1,| 1913, and that the stock of the com- | pany therefore was worth at least $9,480.34 a share as of that date. This figure formed the basis of in- come tax payments by the appel- lants. The government contends t figure should have been less than, $4,000 a share. When Henry Ford drew the| parallel between pins and automo- | biles, Anderson said, “I remarked ‘that’s all right With pins but “Hi\! _ automobiles their manufacture s complicated.’ “Mr. Ford said: just the same; all-we need is floor space.’ " At that time the plant had square feet of floor space. Ford Was Confldent “Thinking of the myriad of pins Anderson continued, “I said to Mr.| Ford, ‘How would you sell so many | automobiles; where would you find | a market for them?” “Mr. Ford said: ‘You needn’t fedr| “The principle is | the | 250 | DELANEY BOUT APPROYED New York Commission Specitics Howerer, that Jack Must Remain ‘Within His Class Weight. New York, Jan. 21.—(UP)— The state athletic commission today ap- proved a bout between Jack Delaney, light heavyweight champion and Jim Maloney, Boston heavyweight to be held at Madison Square Garden on February 18, as one of tht elimin- ation matches which will supply the contender for Gene Tunney's heavy- weight title, The commission stipulated that Delaney must make the weight of his class—175 pounds. Jess McMa- hon, matchmaker, said he believed Delaney’s best fighting weight wak | below that figure and that the light heavyweight not be handlcapped. McMahon applied ‘for permission to charge as high as $20 for the fight but decision on the request was postponed. U. S. MINISTER 13 ORDERED BACK T0 HIS PEKING POST (Continued from First Page) king would permit American residents to find shelter in tefits and legation build- ings with both Chinese military forces and the detachment of Amer- ican marines as well as the military guaras at ‘other legations, to afford them protection from mobs. Destroyer to Foochow The American destroyer Parrott has gone from Shanghai to Foochow, | Where fcreigners have been threat- | ened and churches looted. Word of the arrival of the Parrott has not reached the navy department. U. S. Naval Stréngth i Washington, Jan. 21 (UP) — Twenty-six United States navy ships are in Chines¢ waters or en route there, and 17 more are at Philip- pine ports, : navy announced. The vessels ored cruisers. he crews total 6,2 In addition, 810 mariy e either on board the ships or on, shore duty in China and 526 more are available at other Asiatic posts. Refugees are arriving at Manila with little money or clothing and bluejackeis. from gunboate to 'NEW an oven in which children had been {roasted. Bodies of children who {had died in the convent, despite medical care, were found and added |to the rage of the mob. Hatred |spread, missions were attacked, mis- stonarjes were struck when they re- sisted and, unable to calm the undis- ciplined soldiers, Consul Price order- ed the women to leave, after call- ing, for the destroyer. Militarists threatened to fire on the destreyer if it left. Captain T. 8. McCloy tbok the refugees, moved down river to the open and cleared his deck for action. Price is now arranging transpor- Itation for the 350 Americans remain- |ing in his district. ¥ Serious Developments Peking, Jan. 21 (® — The anti- |foreign situation at Hankow has de- veloped seriously, says a telegram re- celved today from unofficial foreign sources at the Yangtze river city. | One thousand American and British |men are leaving, it says. | There is no official confirmation of |the telegram from private sources, of |the evacuation of the American and British men, who had remained at Hankow after sending their women and children to Shanghal and else- | riotous It emonstrations by Chinese mobs on | \where for safety after the Dec. 3 and 4. | The British concessions at Han- lkow have remained under control of the Cantonese or nationalist gov- ernment since the coolie mob swept |over it early this month. |and British warships lie in the Yang- tze opposite Eankow, ready to as- sist their nationals If necessary. | Planning to Leave Foochow, Jan. 21 UP—Impelled by the threatened remewal of anti- foreign demonstrations and the clash of rival Chinese factions, Americans here today were hastening their | plans for departure from the city. A seneral exodus was under.w At the present I: of departure, | few ‘Americans will be left at the end of the week and none a fort- | night hence. Renewal of the looting and band- litry was expccted momentarily. | - Shanghai, Jan. 21 (P—A dispatch |trom Hankow dated Wednes: | night ‘said 27 American missionarics |were leaving Chunking, Szechwan Province, for Hankow today.

Testifying for the defense in the | tax suit the writer set the valuation of the stock as of 1913 at $12,000 a | share. One reason for such a high| valuation, the witness said, was that the company had mnever been troubled with labor .problems. The assistance of skilled labor was not reduced in 1913, nor is it required today he declared. Faurote termed the Ford plan the “ma- chanleal marvels” and said a com- mon laborer who enters the employe of the company can be trained to operate the machinery in three days. In some instances, he testified all a man has to know is the difference in color of lights. Taurote was- the fifth prominent automotive figure to set a 1913 valuation of the stock at $12,000 or more. The government contends the 1913 valuation should have been only $3,547.84 and seeks to recover $30.- 000,000 it claims was lost in income , taxes on profits accruing from sale of the stock by reason of a previous high valuation. Illinois Not to Fight To Have Smith Seated Springfield, I, Jan, 21 (A—In the absence of an official st ment from Governor Len Small today, a communication from the attorney general's office indicated that no effort would be made at the state capitol to force recogni- tion of Senator-Elect Frank L. Smith as appointee to the seat of the late Senator William B. Mec- Kinley. “Illinols recognizes the authority of the United States senate to git in judgment on its own members,” the communication said. “If the governor's appointee is not wanted in the senate the members of that Gbody have a right to say so.” At Smith's hotel headquarters, ti was said no plans were being made for continuing his fight pending the hearing before the secnate elections committee, Suggestions of court proceedings were discountenanced at the Smith headquarters, where it was insist- | ed that the elections committee would have the next d CENTRAL JR.
