the airplane was scheduled to land

the arrangements was spoiled by the
failure of the plane to come. lnfor-
nation was finally obtained from the

Would Exenopt Nitrate Plants For q Period of Yen Years
Seeking to Make Present Exemption Laws Apply to the Government Plant at Muscle Shoals, Shaw Off, fers Bill Carrying Neces- sary Provision
By WILLIAM L. GoRMLEy

Montgomery, August 13.-
 Special Seeking to have the
 legislature of Alabama grant exemption from taxation for a
 period of 10 years all nitrate
 plants in Alabama, Represent
 ative w. H. Shaw of Colbert
 county Wednesday afternoon
 introduced bill carrying this
 provision.
 This bill follows on the heels of the houses action in killing certain exemp- tions granted the shipbuilding and water power concerns in the state. Since the house took this action, however, the senate committee on finance and taxation
 has replaced the exemption clauses,
 which are yet to be acted up on by the senate as whole.
 MT. Shaw found that the present ex- emption laws will not take care of the giant nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals which was cOnstructeu py the SoselH ment at cost of millions of dollars. The present exemption law makes the proVi- sion that the concerns exempted must be built by individuals and companies and no provision whatever for plant
 built by the government and taken over
 by individuals is made.
 The government is not operating th- plant and it is the plan of citizens of Colbert and La,uderdale counties to se- cure private capital to operate the plant turning out fertilizer. The bill of Rep resentative Shaw does not provide TOT exemption of the land upon which the plant is built.
 It is the contention of the author that the plant can furnish cheaply to the farming element large quantities or Ter tilizer and that private capital cannot afford to come into the state, knowing the state will exact large toll fron tthe plant.

FLEE
 WITH S223,000 IN
 LIBERTY BONDS
By Associated Press

New York, August l3-Liberty bonds valued at S223000 were stolen yesterday from two brokerage firms in the finan- cial district here, it was learned at po- lice headquarters late today. The stolen bonds in each instance had been en- trusted to messengers who haze disap- peared.
 Richard Whitney & company were the victims of the larger theft. This firm dispatched messenger with $l1S.oOo worth of bonds to the offices of Kidder. Peabody & company, brokers. across the street from the Whitney offices. The messenger, boy. did not deliver the bonds and the police are searching for him.
 The other theft was from simmons & Slade, whose loss totalled s45,0o0 in Lib- erty bonds of the second issue. They were stolen under circumstances similar to those under which the bonds of Whit ney & company were taken
 At the police commissioner office it was stated that the messenger who was entrusted with the s45.O00 Liberty bonds by Simmons & Slade, had a record of similar theft here of ss2,000 in Liberty bonds for which he was brought back from Los Angeles last April and given a suspended sentence.

ANOTHER MISLEADING STATE
 MENT

"Your further formal statement of in formation that the price of digging coal so stated. as to clearly leave the impression that the total cost of pro- ducing coal has only increased about 30 cents per ton is decidedly mislea ding and magnifies the false light in which YOU have placed the coal operators be- fore our legislators and the public. That item is the smallest wage increase grant, ed to any branch of mine labor. Other branches were increased as much as 300 per cent. and the total cost Of min ing coal has increased since 1914 to where coal which then cost N1o per ton now costs yp to $2O, and that which then cost s1.35 per ton, now costs up to s3. 50; facts which are well known and appreciated by the miners them selves, who are earnestly opposed to this tax.
 Again we deny and challenge the in formation contained in both of your statements, and in common fairness, de- mand that you either prove or retract same.
