HORSEBACK RIDES ATTRACTING PRES. Even Fishing Gives Way to Coolidge’s New Interest Rapid City, S. D, July 8 P— President Coolidge is inclined to take up horse back riding, a favorite pastime in the west. as a regular recreation proposition. Mr. Coolidge liked his first taste of the saddle Wednesday afternoon and last night he talked it over with “Dakota Clyde” Jones, cowboy prize winner, who had just returned from the tri-state roundup at Belle FFourche. Jones, is a veteran rider and has been assigned by the state ‘to watch over the stables at the summer white house. “Kit,” the seven-year-old bay mare received from the Boy Scouts of Custer, is likely to be the presi- dent’'s regular mount, although he has several others available, includ- ing “Senator,” a horse placed at his disposal by the state. There are many trails leading over the hills hereabouts and although all have steep places to be climbed over on uncertain ground, the horses of this country are foot sure. However, the president is not thinking of giving up fishing. Meanwhile Mr. Coolidge is keep- ing in daily touch with the office at Rapid City and today he planned again to go over the Mexican situ- ation with James R. Sheffield, am- bassador to that country, who came to the Black Hills for a conference early yesterday. Mr. Sheftield is expected to reveal his plans for the future in response to recent rumors that he would re- tire. | The president’s engagement list| today also included visits from Sen- ator McMaster of this state, and from 600 students from the Chad- ron, Nebraska, Normal school, who made a speclal excursion here. Later in the day Mr. Coolidge had an engagement to receive a commit- tee from Custer which would extend an invitation to him to attend the Gold Discovery Days celebration there July 25th.

McDonald on the city bank and | Trust company of Hartford. The check as cashed and later came back stamped “no account.” A man answering the same de- scription but giving the name of James P.

FORD ORDERS NEWSPAPER ATTACKS ON JEWS STOPPED; APOLOGIZES TOO| Expresses to Learn Previous Practice of Dearborn Independent Chagrin —His Editor Surprised ' at Change of Attitude. New York, July 8 (UP)—Henry Ford has ordered the Dearborn In- depcident to cease publication of all articles reflecting on the Jewish peo- ple, he said in an announcement made public through Arthur Bris- bane. Ford was quoted as saying he was “mortified” to discover the actual nature of the articles. In addition to ordering his maga- zine, the Independent, to cease at- acks on Jews, Ford will withdraw from circulation certain articles, re- garded as objectionable, which have been issued In pamphlet form under the title, “The International Jew,” Brisbanc said. Brisbane saic Ford had made a signed statement explaining his new stand on the Jewish question, one copy of which had been given to Marshall, New York attorney, another to Brisbane. The Ford statement, as made pub- lic by Brisbane, :.id: “To my great regret I have learned that Jews generally, and particular- Iy thcze of this country, not only resent these publications as promot- ing anti-semitism, but regard me as their enemy. “Trusted friends with whom I have conferred recently have assured me in all sincerity that in their opiinon the character of the charges and insinuations made against the Jews, both individually and collectively, continued in many of the articles which have been circulated period: ally in the Dearborn Independent and have been reprinted in the pam- phlets mentioned (The International Jew series) justifies the righteous in dignation entertained by Jews every- where toward me because of the mental anguish occasioned by the unprovoked reflections made upon his has led me to direct my per- sonal attention to this subject, in crder to adeertain the exact nature rticles, sult of this survey, T con- t T am deeply mortified that this journal, vhich is intended to be con::-uctive and not destructive, has been made the medium for resur- recting exploded fictions, for giving gs, il Come and See What— 3 0% or 7%3 Will Buy in Men’s Clothes It Will Pleasantly Surprise You A FEW SUITS LEFT AT 10 New Designs, Silk We are cleaning out some of our Higher Priced Suits at this price. .... 85¢ Special Lot of Men’s Golf Hose, pr. .... 85¢ 50c Men’s Fancy Hose 39¢*, 3 for $1.00 $§5 Novelty Wool Sport Sweaters ... $4.25 Imported White Broadcloth Shirts . $1.65 Neckwear 3 for $1.00 the wise men of Zion, which have been demonstrated, as I learn, to be gross forgeries, and for contending that the Jews have been engaged in a conspiracy to control the capital and the indust.ies of the world, be- sides laying at their door many of- fenses against decency, public order and good morals. “Had I appreciated even the gen- eral nature, to say nothing of the dc‘ails, of these utterances I would have -forbidden their circulation without a moment’s hesitation, be- cause I am fully aware of the virtues of the Jewish people as a whole, of |what they and their ancestors have done for civilization and for man- kind toward the development of commerce and industry, of their so- briety and diligence, their benevo- lence and their unselfish interest in the public welfare. Of course, there are black sheep in every flock, as there are among men of all races, creeds and nationalities, who are at times evil doers. It is wrong, how- ever, to judge a people by a few in- | dividuals, and I therefore join in |condemning unreservedly all whole- sale denunciations and attacks. “Those who know me can bear witness that it is not in my nature to inflict insult upon and occasion ipain to anybody, and that it has |been my effort to free myself from prejudice. Because of that, I frank- ly confess that I have been greatly shocked as a result of my study and examination of the files of the Dear- born Independent and of the pam- phlets entitled ‘The International Jew. “I deem it to be my duty as an honorable man to make amends for {the wrong done the Jews as fellow- men and brothers, by asking their {forgiveness for the harm I have un- intentionally committed, by retract ing, so far as lies within my power the offensive charges laid at their door by these publications, and by giving them tie unqualified assur- ance that henceforth they may look to me for friendship and good will. “In the multitude of my activities it has been impossible for me to de- vote personal attention to their man- agement or to kecp iniormed as to {their contents.

Knows of No Settlement Chicago, July 8 UP—Aaron Sapiro, | whose objection to anti-Jewish ma- terial published in the Dearborn In- | dependent took the form of a mil- lion dollar libel suit against Henry Ford and others, is now in Sas- Katchewan, Canada. His law part- ner, Robert S. Marx, said hd had | heard nothing of a rumor settlement |out of court of the libel action. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philan- |thropist, made the following com- |ment on published statements that attacks against the Jews by the Dearborn Independent would cease: “Mr. Ford's statement is very |greatly belated. This letter would |have been very much greater to his |credit had it been written five years ago. | “It seems almost impossible to be- lleve he has not been deluged with evidence on the very facts which he now seems to realize are true. | “But it is never too late to make amends, and I congratulate Mr. Ford that he has at last seen the light. |He will find that the spirit of for- | giveness is not entirely a Christian virtue, but is equally a Jewish vir- tue.
