Ralph Hand, of Pittsburgh, Pa was arrested In LOWDEPi'S NAME IS CAUSE OF CLASH AT FORD-SAPIRO TRIAL Senator Reed Draws Republican Leader's Business Into Open and Sapiro Heatedly Replies to Remarks. (Br Associated Press.) Detroit, April 6. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, chief of Henry Ford's defense counsel, and mentioned In many quarters as an outstanding possibility for the Democratic presidential nomination, exchanged angry words today wth Aaron Sapiro over the status of Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, regarded by some as Republican party presidential nominee timber.

Senator Reed was seeking to gain from Sapiro under cross-examination In his 1, 000,000 libel suit against the automobile manufacturer, a history of the national co-operative organizations he had represented. He hit upon the National Wheat Growers advisory committee formed at a meeting called in Chicago In September, 1923, by Judge Robert Bingham, publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and the Louisville Times. In the list who attended was Mr. Lowden, who became chairman of fhe committee. EXCHANGE HOT WORDS.

At Mr. Lowden's name he halted. "He wasn't a wheat grower was he?" Heed demanded. "Oh I don't know," replied Sapiro, "He may grow wheat. He certainly grows some grain." "He Is a capitalist isn't he?" shot back Reed.

"No," replied Sapiro. "And been governor of Illinois?" "No, he Is not a capitalist," heatedly replied Sapiro. "He is a splendid lawyer and a very fine farmer, probably the largest farmer In some respects In the entire United States." "Does he make his living farming or Is he the son-in-law of Pullman of the Pullman Car Company?" demanded Reed with a tone of sarcasm In his voice. "I don't think he makes his living as the son-in-law of Pullman," responded Sapiro. "He makes his living by his work as a lawyer and by bis work as a farmer." QlIT A FT Kit MERGER, Sapiro testified he resigned as counsel for the Co-operative Marketing Committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation, as did Walton Peteet, director of the committee, when they learned that John W.

Coverdale had gained federation support for a project merging the Armour Grain Co. and the Kosepbaum Grain Co. into a grain marketing company. Sapiro said he and Peteet resigned when their objections to such a step failed to prevail. Sapiro testified that while he was counsel for the Co-operative Marketing Committee of the A.

F. B. he also represented other national or ganizations, receiving $9,000 from the American Cotton Growers Exchange, $3,750 from the Federated Fruit and Vegetable Growers, and $1,106 from toe Holstein Friesian Dairying Association. Sapiro testified that be was. requested to resign from the Oklahoma Broom Corn Association because of articles published In the Ford-owned Dearborn Independent.

"As a matter of fact It let you out because it was practically bankrupt and could not afford to keep you, didn't it?" demanded Reed. "No," returned Sapiro. The witness denied that he knew whether the association still functioned or was extinct. Newark Police Say Eighteen Robberies Cleared. (By Associated Press.) Newark, N.

DIE BLAST. (By Associated Press. i Parco, April s. Thirteen bodies had been taken from the ports that the railway between Hankow and Canton has been cut. The fourth army (of the Cantonese), which is loyal to General Chiang Kai-Shek, has advanced from Kiangsi Province into Hunan, establishing headquarters at Hengchowpu, it adds.

This Is Interpreted In Hong Kong, the dispatch says, as meaning severance of communications between the Hankow extremists and the minority supporters in Canton except by way of the Yangtse river through Shanghai. The fourth army Is commanded by General Li Chisum. If this Interpretation of the message is correct, the coup constitutes one of the greatest surprises In the reported split between the Extremist and Moderate Bections of the Cantonese. WALL STREET (By Associated Press.) New York, April 6. Active speculative buying coupled with renewed accumulation of high grade investment shares carried prices higher at the opening of today's stock market.

New highs were registered at the outset by U. S. Steel (new stock) at 123 7-8, DuPoiit, at 232 and Free-port Texas at 61. The early rush of buying carried a number of stocks above their previous high prices. General Motors quickly sold up to 184, U.

S. Steel to 171, General Railway to 120, Wool worth to 130 7-8 and Colorado Fuel to 7 3-4, Union Carbide to 122 S-8, along with an assortment of other active issues. The large increase In brokers' loans was construed to reflect an expanding public interest in the market, Ralls were stimulated by Secretary Hoover's favorable comment last night on the present condition of carrier systems, and by further evidences of expanding traffic. Car loadings showed a gain for the past week, crossing the million mark for the third consecutive time. Buying of oils, some of which rallied 1 to 2 points, had a cheertul effect on speculative interest.

The rise in Woolworth was probably due to reports of expanding spring business, particularly in the chain store division. Seasonal Influences to stimulate motors, and most of the active shares followed the upward movement of General Motors. Foreign exchange opened steady, demand sterling ruling around J4.85 S-8 and French francs just below 3.91 cents. Reduction of the floating supply of many stocks by the recent extensive absorption by investment and speculative interests facilitated the operations of pools who were busy in all sections of the list to lake advantage of the re-wakened public interest in the market. Railroads did not maintain their recent commanding position in the dealings, speculation veering more strongly to a wide assortment of industrials and specialities.

V. S. Steel touched a new high at 1711-2 but General Motors reacted to 182 1-2. The renewal rate on call loans was maintained at 4 per cent. New York Stock Exchange quotations, furnished by Harrlman branch office.

CONDITIONS SOUTH OF YANGTSE GROW WORSE (By Associated Press.) Washington, April 6 Fears ef an interruption to shipping on the Yangtse river which would hamper activities of American and other gunboats engaged in evacuating foreign ers to the "Jnina coast were communicated today to the Navy Department. Rear Admiral Hough, of the 'American Yangtse patrol force, reported that virtually all ships in the Yangtse area were coal burners and a shortage of fuel, caused by serious labor troubles, may require that the craft be sent to Shanghai. MUST SOLVE PROBLEM. The only alternative.

It was said, n-ould be the shipment of coal from Shanghai to the river patrol vessels which. In the opinion of Navy Department officials, would seriously embarrass those in charge of the Yangtse evacuation. "There Is much difficulty assembling a coal supply due to serious labor troubles," Admiral Hough's report said. "It may be necessary to have sufficient coal 6hlpped from Shanghai to get the coal burning ships down the river and for this reason it may become necessary to send all coal burning gunboats through to Shanghai as soon as they, can be assembled at Hankow." Conditions at Hankow were described by Admiral Hough as "very bad." Practically all business at Hankow has come to a standstill and Japanese are evacuating by steamers, tha report continued. About one hundred French, Belgian and Swiss civilians remain.

"The British and American civilians (at Hankow) are living close to tha waterfront and are preparing to evacuate on short notice," Admiral Hough said. "The present number of Americans at Hankow Is approximately one hundred five, but It is expected that this number will be reduced within a week to thirty-five or forty, these people being business heads required to remain until the end with the understanding that they remain, at their own risk. TO PROTECT THEM. "If the situation grows worse, I will require them to remain on board ships In the harbor except for necessary business ashore. I do not consider it desirable to evacuate until the British leave." Admiral Hough reported that the Godown" evacuation (at Hankow) was well In hand and unless hurried too much he believed most of the property there could be saved.

The Godown" is a warehouse. In a dispatch dated April 6, Admiral Williams, commander of Amer ican forces In China, said he had been advised that the Japanese ex pect to evacuate Chungking as soon as a steam is available.

While the stale of affairs south of the Yangtse river, caused by the antipathy of the Chinese to all things foreign, appears to be growing ateadily worse, the civil war situation north of the great river Is becoming more precarious as the antonese armies progress further toward the northern capital, Peking.
