Lansing, Mich., Dec. 21.—A petition was filed in the state supreme court today by atorneys for Henry Ford, asking for a writ of mandamus to compel three circuit judges in De- troit to show cause why the tempor- ary injunction restraining the Ford Motor company from business devel- opment activities should not be imme- diately dissolved. The injunction was recently granted to John F. Dodge and Horace B. Dodge, Detroit automobile manufac- turers, who aliso are stockhelders in the Ford corporation. They demand that the Ford profits be disbursed as dividends instead of being used to enlarge the plant. The injunction was granted for sixty days. ‘The Dodge brothers today filed a pe- tition in supreme court asking that | forw.J. Gummms GQNNETED WITH WRECKING OF CARNEGIE TRUST CO. IT INVOLVED Mll.LiON Gov. Whitman of New York Yields to Many Petitions of Prominent Men— Feeling is General that Mr. Cum- mins Unknowingly Broke the Law —Has Served Three Years and Two Months of a Sentence of Four Years -and Eight Months. ) Albany, N. Y., Dec. 21.—A Christmas pardon was granted by Governor Whitman today to William J. Cum- mins, who has served three yeafs and two months of a state’s prison sen- tence @€ four years and eight months art in the wrecking of the |~ Trust company of New York several years ago. The pardon was mailed tonight to Great Meadows prison, where Cum- mins is confined, and will become ef- fective immediately upon its arrival, Prot ent Resident of Tennessee. Many millions of dollars were in- volved in the failure of the Carnegie Trust company, and the affairs of the Institution still are in process of liquidation. Cummins, who was an official of the bank, was a prominent resident of Tennessee. He was con- victed of having applied moneys to his own use in connection with the operations of himself and some friends in control of the Carnegie Trust com- pany, the Van Norden Trust company ;'IYnd the Nineteenth Ward bank of New ork.. Many Petitioners for Pardon. Governor Whitman, in a statement accompanying his announcement of the pardon, said that letters and petitions asking for clemency have been re- ceived from nearly every state in ths union. “Virtually the great state of Tennessee,” he said, “has as one man asked for Mr. Cummins’ pardon, for 1 find among the petitioners its gover- nor and ex-governors, its United State ssenators, all of its congress- men, ~practically all of {ts leading merchants, manufacturers, bankers and many of its judges. I find the sena- tors of several other states, among them Oscar W. Underwood and F. f. Glass. I find the governors of Arkan- sas, Alabama and Missouri.” Andrew Carnegie Favorable, The governor quoted from a letter written in March, 1914, by Andrew Carnegie, whose loss of $2,000,000 was the greatest suffered by any individ- ual in the failure of the trust com- pany, in which Mr. Carnegie said: “T 'feel that it is due to Mr, Cum- mins to say that I do not believe he knowingly broke the law. He had no experience In banking. * * * Mr. Cummins has many friends, and he is very popular wherever known, and 1 believe he broke the laws unknowing- ly if at all.” Bradley Martin, president the Ninoteenth Ward bant. snd $ice pres- ident of the Van Noorden Trust com- pany, the principal witness against Cummins, joined in the petition for clemency, as did many directors and persons who suffered loss.

The more a man knows of art, or musie, or i motor care— the more profound his appreciation of true greatness, A novice in motor cars will be quick to distinguish the nnig. -u\utlcnl evoked in driving the Elght-Cyli Cadillac—sensations which differ fr’m any he hae_experienced before. But the keenest, liveliest appreciation will come from the man whose sense of what constitutes luxurious motor- ir:r has been developed to the high- pitch. As between two cdrs of superior rid- ing quality, he is connoisseur enough to recognize even slight and fine dis- tinctions. And his cultivated sense will imme- diately recognize that the difference between the smoothest, steadiest car he may have driven and the Eight- Cylinder Cadillac_is not:- merely a slight or an indefinite difference. With a shock of pleasant surprise it will be brought home to him that he must reject his previous ideals and standards, and must formulate a new conception of luxurious motoring. Every enjoyment he has ever experi- enced wuli e intensified. 1t will mot be necessary, in a demon- stration, to elaborate upon the fine points of the Cadillac performance.

London, Dec. 21, 450 p. m.—In gov- ernmental circles silence is obsedved regarding President Wilson’s note sug- gesting an exchange of views among the belligerents, which will be given out for publication in Friday morn- ing's newspapers. It is explained that this delay is due in part to the *lu!e surprise caused by -the re- 't of the note, which was altogether unexpected and in part to a desire to admit of its simultaneous publication in_all the allied countries. ‘While it cannot be said that the note was received with anything resembling a feeling of resentment, The Associs ated Press is enabled*to say that its sudden and unexpected receipt puzled officialdom, which was unprepared for fere with the plans of the allies for sendifig a joint reply to the German proposals which will probably be done before Christmas.
