nDys Hopors for War
Service to Be Revised
ALL LOCAL BIDS
HELD TOO Low
Government Rejects All Offers
for Southern Machine
Works Plant.

All bids upon the equipment and
plant OF the Southern Machine works
have been rejected, according to
word received by one of the bidders
here from the salvage section Of the
war department in Cincinnati. The
bids were opened several days ago
and formally rejected by the war sal
wage section upon the ground that
they were too low.
A number of local concerns are
said to have made bids upon the
plant. One of the bidders declared
that the salvage officials over-esti-
mated the value of the machinery in
the plant. 1t consists of laths and
other machinery adapted to the man.
ufacture of shells. With the rejec-
ton Of bids negotiations will prob
ably be opened by the department. in
an effort to get a bigger price.
The plant during the war was en-
gagged in the manufacture of shells
for the government. After the armi-
stice was signed the plant and ma
chinery was purchased from the
Southern Machine company and con-
verted into a storage warehouse for
ordnance for the southeastern Sec
ton. Several carloads Of valuable
machinery was removed from other
southern munitions factories and
stored here.

OWOMENHELD
IN BROWN CASE
Wife Of Murdered Man Be-
comes HysterlcaI and De-
nies knowledge Of Crime.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Deca a.
Two women, one the 19-year-old child
wife of the slain nassan asRther
mysteriouS Dolly from Battle
Creek. occupy the spotlight in the J..
Stanley Brown murder mystery to-
day. Mrs. Ruth Provost Brown, with
her 2O-year- old cousin, Lloyd Pre-
vost, is under arrest here. Dolly
the mystery in the case, is, the po-
lice say, under surveillance.
The sheriff declares that "Dolly's"
name is known to- him, but he refuses
to reveal 1t. Detectives are investi-
eating every probable angle of her
connection with the case.
According to police versions Of the
case, Dolly" was introduced to
Brown by Lloyd Provost and he be-
came intimate with her. 1t is de-
clared he had visited l.er in Grand
Rapids and that he contemplated a
Christmas trip with her to Chicago
just before his death. She came to
Mount Clemens, it is said, to find out
why Brown had not kept an appoint
ment with her.
The fact that Brown and Provost
were both friendly with Dolly" and
are said to have quarreled over her
constitutes, the police say, an impor-
tant angle of their investigations.
Mrs. Brown and Provost at present
are held as material witnesses.
Sheriff Caldwell said he expected to
obtain a warrant charging Provost
with the crime today. He intimated
that he ould~release Mrs. Brown
later.

.FAVORS JOINT
INTERVENTION
Former Mexican Consul Thinks
Great Britain Should Act
With United States.

London, Dec. 27.-U. N. S.)-Joint
intervention in Mexico by a mixed
foreign commission, on which Great
Britain and the United States would
occupy the chief places, is advocated
by H. Graham Richards, form-r Brit
ish consul general to Mexico.
Such intervention, MFR. Richards
holds. would protect foreign invest
ments in Mexico, amounting to 49,
500,000,000, and upon which no return
has been received for several years.
and would allow Mexico to develop in
peace.
Mr.. Richards points out that Great
Britain has $1,000,000,0 invested in
Mexico, most of the railroads having
been built under the Porfirio Diez
regime with British money. He de-
clares that with heavy war debt
and a deprecated pound sterling.
England can no longer neglect her
Mexican interests. RI. .
U. S. Interests,
"The fact that the United States
has 81, 500, ,000, 900 invested in Mexico;
the existence of the Monroe doctrine
and also strategic and political con-
siderations that must be taken into
account, would make it necessary for
America to occupy first place in any
settlement of Mexican chaos" said
Mr.. Richards. But Washington
would probably welcome assistance.
Il feel certain that the American
government would be only too pleased
with some such solution of the Mexi-
can trouble. The past reluctance OF
the United States to take any bold
action has arisen from fear that she
might be accused of aims at terri
toriaI ACKNOWLEDGMENT. A mixed COM
mission would preclude the possibil-
ity of such an accusation. This is q
matter for immediate decision by the
British government.

MAUDE MOORE
GETS new TRIAL
Judge Nelson Says He Could
Not Approve Of Verdict of
Murder in First Decree.

Knoxville, Dec. 27.-Maude Moore,
convicted of Staying Leroy d. Harth,
a prominent local business man, to-
day was granted new trial by Judge
T. A. r. Nelson in criminal court.
Judge Nelson said that he would
have approved a verdict of murder in
the second degree. but that the evi-
dence did not warrant the woman's
conviction of murder in the first de-
gree. He declared that her story was
wholly incredible" and suggested
that If she had told the truth and
admitted that they went on the $50
called joy ride for immoral purposes.
and that they had an argument"
that the jury might have let her off
with verdict of guilty of man
slaughter.
The case of Maud Moore excited
interest throughout the state. She
killed Leroy ID. Harth, a young busi-
Ing him with his own pistol.
She claimed that Harth insulted her
