y BELIEVES NEETING WAS BENEFICIA Coarles E. Hughes Thinks Pan- American Conference Sucoesstal Havana, Feb. 21 UP—Two spokes- men for the United States delegation are convinced that the Pan-Ameri- can congress, which ended its labors here yesterday, did much to further good will among the Americas. “The delegates will return to| their countries with clearer views of the conditions of succestul collab. oration, and the understanding and good will which are the essence of Pan-Americanism have been pro- moted in notable degrees,” Charles Evans Hughes, chief of the United States delegation, said. | Dr. Leo 8. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union, stated the present conference was in many respects the most fruitful of the series, Discussion of the Pan-American TUnion, Mr. Hughes said, resulted in TALKING D06 IS BIG FEATURE OF THE SHOW Pchee-hudhucllulw.luh‘.

The Princeas’ “hello" comes in a a real “hello.” When asked where she wants to go, the animal responds trate its civic pride, has, included “Bangor” in a growing vocabulary.

The association of tho delegates | in fraternal contacts aud the warm friendships resultin from this, he pointed to as a zood influence of the gathering. Dr. Howe said that in each of the questions before the conference con- structive steps forward were taken. He concluded: “The full significance of the re- suits of the conference will become fully apparent when the conventions and resolutions are made effective and in this respect a large responm- hility will devolve upon the Pan- American Union.” SAYS FORDS HAVE e COMITTED FRAUD Gl Toey Got Lincoln Motor Company Ilegally Pontiac, Mich., Feb. 21 ® — The eharge that Henry and Edsel Ford obtained the Lincoln Motor com. pany by ftraud is contained in briefs filed in the Leland-Ford $6.- 000,000 damage suit in circuit court here. The accusation was made in documents entered in the record yesterday by attorneys for Henry M. and Wilfred Leland, who are bringing the action against the ¥ords on behalt of 2,000 other for- mer stockholders of the Lincoln company. It follows in part: “The Fords obtained the Lincoln property by virtue of their promises to us to retain these properties and to break their promises to us is a species of fraud. And charged with that fraud, they now seek to per- petrate it against these 2,000 plain- tiffs by resort to technicalities that are not even specious, rather than, as would an innocent man, demand- ing a prompt trial that they might be exculpated of the serious wrong we charge.” Briefs Asked Briefs were asked of both sides by the presiding judge before pass- ing on a motion by attorneys for the Fords to void the bill of com- plaint, which alleges that at the time the factory was purchased at a receivership sale in 1922 the Fords verbally agreed to reimburse the stockholders for losses incurred. In the defendants’ briefs, also filed yesterday, it was asserted that the alleged verbal contract was en- tered into by the plaintiff Lelands to procure special advantages for themselves. It continues: “The alleged oral contract is e eontract to answer for the debt. default, or misdoings of the Lin- coln Motor company, a Delaware corporation, and is void under the statute of fraud of the state of Michigan.” Presiding Judge Covert will take up the briefs for consideration ‘Wednesday. If the court holds the Fords must answer the bill, a long STORY OF HORNED \Professor Relates Similar Ex- perience_wceylon | New York, Feb. 21 P — The story from Eastland, Tex., that a |horned toad was found alive in the of the courthouse, where it had been entombed for 30 years, has a supporter here.
