PERMANENT NITRATE PLANT WILL GO ID
 M USCLE SHOALS
This Is Opinion of Senator Bankhead, Who Has Inter- view at War Depart
 ment on Subject

Washington. October 26-(Special) Preparatory to winding up the business of his office for the last session of Con- gress Senator John H. Bankhead today had a long conference with the Secre- tary of War and army officials inter ested, and urged that the permanent ni- trate plant be located at Muscle Shoals, where the S4000,0O0 experimental plant is to be erected at once. The veterans senator went over the entire situation with various officials at the war depart ment, and feels that much has been accomplished toward ultimately securing the big plant.
 Tt seems now that Muscle Shoals is the logical place for the great plant to be built, and I am sure that it will go there. What I wanted to learn at the department was just what was being done said Senator Bankhead. and to urge that matters be expedited. l was told that everything possible to push the enterprise was being put forward and that Muscle Shoals would be given due and careful consideration. I am sure the great plant will go to Muscle Shoals if nally."
 Senator Bankhead expects to leave for his home the first of next week, but his office will be kept open by c. A. Beasley, his clerk and his office force.

 War Industries Board

Washington, October 26-Frank A. Scott's resignation as the chairman of the war industries board. announced to- day, will not affect the boards policies on price fixing quantity purchasing, pri- ority supervision or other functions.

 President Wilson will soon name a member of the board to succeed Mr. Scott who was forced to retire because of threatened nervous breakdown, and indications are that the chairmanship may be retained permanently by Judge Lovett, who has been vice chairman.
 Since the United States entered the war, MT. Scott has worked under strain almost necessarily, first as head of the general munitions board, the civilian i.d- visory body assisting the war and navy departments in settling contracts for war munitions and more recently as chair man of the war industries board, sub sidiary of the council of national de- fense, charged with co-ordinating the vast war purchases of the American government and the allies.

Crew of Steamer Fights
 Long Battle With Fire


 An Atlantic Port, October 26.-A constant battle with flames through out the voyage across the Atlantic was reported by officers of British steamer, which arrived here today from a Mediterranean port. Shortly after leaving Gibraltar fire was discovered in the forehold, where a large con signment of Turkish tobacco was stored.
 The compartment was flooded and the steamer made for the nearest port, but she had settled by the head so deeply that her progress was slow. On reaching a port stop of three days was made while she was pumped out and the cargo overhauled. Two days after she had put to sea fire broke out again in the same compartment and was kept under control with diff ficulty during the rest of the voyages It was said that the greatest eau ton would be necessary in discharg- ing the cargo here on account of the highly inflammable nature of certain parts of it.
 Forty-six members of the crew of the American tank steamer Petrolite, sunk by submarine last June, were passengers on the ship.

 His Charges Against the
 New York Money Ring

St Louis October 26.-Speaker Champ Clark today withdrew his charge that "a ring of New York financiers'' had been hampering the sale. of the bonds of the second liberty loan in order to force higher rate of interest on the next issue of bonds
 When I made that statement" said the speaker, ''the papers were full of stories telling of the fact that the sale of liberty bonds was tagging all over the country.
 When the first liberty bonds were is- sued some fellows in New York tried to beat the prices down below par. In view of that fact said a ring of New York men were hampering the sale ot the second loan bonds.
 However, in view of what New York has done in the sale of the bonds in the last three days, I withdraw my crtti- cism''
 The speaker said his charge as quoted in the newspapers was substantially cor rect He was not sure whether he said "a ring of New York men," or "a ring of New York financiers' were hamper ing the sale of bonds.
 MT. Clark said he had not received the telegram reported to have been sent by Chairman Strong of the federal re- serve board of New York, asking if he had been correctly quoted which was a forerunner of demand that he prove the charge

SEVEN OF GERMAN
 FUG|TNES ARRESTED; THREE ARE MISSING
Lieutenant Hans Berg Is Among Those Who So Far Have Eluded Officers
 in Search

Atlanta, october 26.--The local officers of the department of justice tonight con firmed report that five of the Ger mans who escaped Tuesday night from the prison camp at Fort McPherson had been arrested this afternoon near Sur rency, Ga. Johann Adelhardt, another of the fugitives, was captured in Atlanta late today
 Arnold Henckel, formerly a petty offi- cer in the German navy, was said to be among those captured. The others caught at Surrency were Maxmillian Mensin- ger Carl Schultze, Paul Eisner and Granz Beer Details of the capture were lacking tonight. According to telephone reports received here, the men were ap' prehended by two county officers and were placed in jail at Baxley, Ga, a short distance from Surrency. Reports that the fugitivcs were making their way to a port were borne out in the fact that they were not more than 70 miles from the coast in south Georgia when taken into custody.
 Three of the 10 men who escaped, all of wiiom were formerly members of the crews of the German sea raider, Pfiil2 Eitel Friederichand the prize ship Ap- pam, are still missing.
 Adelhardt was arrested at a local shoe factory, where, it was said, he had ap- piled for employment Officials of the factory, according to department ot justice agents, became suspicious when Adelhardt is alleged to have said he was Swede and had just arrived in this country. Paul Falg, another of the fugi- tives, was captured here last night by a soldier.
 Among the three men still at large is Lieut.. Hans Berg, of the German navy, who commanded the Appam on her voy- age to Hampton Roads, after the ves- sel's capture by the Germans from the British.

Macon, Ga. October 26.-A dense fog was responsible for a sideswiping col lision early today between the Royal Palm, north bound, and the Kansas City special. south bound, on the Southern railway at Reids station, 10 miles south of Macon, on which the negro fireman on the north bound train was instantly killed and Engineer H. K. Burgay of Macon was badly hurt. None of the passengers on either train was seriously injured.
