that Ashland should "become not

.CONGRESSMEN OF
 TENNESSEE FAVOR
 MUSCLE SHOALS
They Take Stand Notwith- standing Holston River in That State Is Mentioned
 for the Nitrate Plant
ax HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, July A.-(Special Joe spite the fact that government engineers
 in recommending to the inter-depart-
 mental board several available sites for
 the proposed nitrate plant included Hol-
 ston river, in Tennessee, the House dele
 gation from Tennessee, in knowledge of
 the potentially of Muscle Shoals, and
 aware of the influence which would
 bring about it's defeat took action today
 looking toward its adoption by President
 Wilson.
 With the Tennessee delegation and a committee of it's constituents, visiting Washington. Representatives Dent and Almon of Alabama met.
 It was on suggestion of Representative Dent that the Tennessee delegation con- cluded to carry the fight to the President himself The point was made that the secretaries are too busy in person to conduct the necessary investigation, and that the situation and all that underlies the situation should be carried direct to
 the President.
 AS far as can be learned tonight, the Tennessee delegation, despite the injec- tion of Holston river into the contro- versy, favors Muscle Shoals. With the exception of MT. Hucdleston. who has declared himself. and Mir Oliver, who has residence in Tuscaloosa, the same is true of the Alabama delegation.

McAdoo Says Another Bill lion Must Be Raised by
 Taxation at Once
SCHEDULE IN PRESENT
 MEASURE TOO SMALL
Government Will Need Five Billion Dollars to Train Second Draft Army and This Huge Sum
 Must Be Provided

Washington, July 24. Plans worked out in Con- gress for raising war reve- nue were overturned today by announcement of forth coming additional estimates for war expenditures aggre- gating more than S5,O00,- |0OO,000, principally in an ticipation of assembling a second army of 500,000 men under the selective draft. Secretary McAdoo, at special meeting of the Senate finance com mittee, revealed that the war depart ment alone is preparing estimates to cover additional expenditures of nearly $, 900, 100000 and asked the committee to hold up the $1,670, ,000,- 900 war tax bill until the detailed estimates of all departments are sub ] mitted.
 The committee agreed to the request ! ane. pigeon holed a report on the meas ure which it had planned to submit dur ing the day.
 NEW ESTIMATES
 1 The new estimates including s5oO,ooO. .De | cI,i i,c rd r,r 1 $1OO, O00,000 for the navy department, are l to be submitted to the committee late | this week. Then there will begin an other revision of the war revenue meas ure, probably resulting in an increase of the bills gross tax levy by from $3So.- coo. 900 to s1, 800 900, GOO Additional credit may also be authorized in the form of bonds or indebtedness certificates
 l Besides the additional sums needed | for the American war programme. Sec retary McAdoo told the Senate commit tee that the $S.0oO.OoV,O0o authorized for 1 loan to the allies probably would last only until October, and that about $2,C00,- 1 GOO, GOO for their further assistance would l be needed Provision for this, however lis not planned in connection with the pending revenue legislation. It probably
 will be considered at the next session.
 NO RECOMMENDATIONS The Secretary made no recommends,
 ton as to what part of the total shoulc ba raised by taxes and what part by bend issues or other credits. It was re
 ported however. that the treasury de partment would favor raising $1.000, CO., 900 more than had been planned in taxes ma king the tax bill total $2,67o, ,0Oo,00o.

HOPES FOR SUCCESS .0F INSTRUMENTATION
 NOT VERY SANGU|NE

Dublin, July 24.-Not very sanguine
 hopes of success for the Irish conven-
 ton about to assemble here are ex-
 have already arrived to attend the
 gathering. There was a plenteous ex-
 pression of good will toward the un-
 dertaking. however. among the dele
 gates. In the opinion Of leading of- ficial given in a talk. with the cor respondent it will take less than a week to decide whether the effort to deal with the Irish question by the body is to prove abortive. On the oth- CT hand it is known the government was influenced in choosing the place of meeting by the fact that 1t would be able to retain occupancy for more than three months of the place se- Ilected.
 Henry E. Duke, the chief secretary for Ireland, will open the convention Iwhen it's members assemble tomorrow. There is a strong sentiment, chiefly among the nationalists. to keep him permanently in the chair. Sir Francis iHopwood is doing the sccretarial work i at present but it is expected he will be lreplaced by an Irishman. The Ulster lunionists plan to form an organized group with the chairman and secre- itary, probably the Marquis of London derry, and to consult the various ex- listing Ulster unionist organizations during the proceedings. The exact number of the members of the conven- tion is uncertain in view of the action l of some county councils which have asked their chairmen invited to attend l ex -officio. not to accept the invita- 1 tion
