ENGINEER SAYS
HE'S MISQUOTED
ON WILSON DAM

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. - The
hearings conducted by the house
conferees relative to the proposed
$1O,000,000 appropriation added by
the senate to the sundry civil bill
for continuation of contraction OF
the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals
Alabama, and the statement by
Colonel Hugh J.. Cooper, govern
ment consulting engineer, that it
would be national calamity" not
to continue the project. 1t would
save the power consumers OF the
south $9,500,000 year, Colonel
Cooper declared, and the government
could dispose of the power at a
price which would net 1t five pei
ment of $50,000,000, which the dam
would cost when completed.
Colonel Cooper said the estimate
was made on a "pessimistic" view
with respect to the cost of the WORK
and not the hopeful view and thal
the figures were an absolute maxi
mum.
"All of you" Colonel Cooper said
at one place in his testimony, foI
ten years have been gong out on
the floor of the house and misquot-
ing me in way that 1 can never
get back at you, and l am not 60

Chairman Goode assured him nc
member of the committee had de-
sire to misquote him. But they
do" replied Colonel Cooper. Il dc
not think it is a desire, as they
cannot have any grudge against me
but when anyone wants to prove
something they misquote something
from a statement L have made and
get away with it, and am getting
sick of it."
The people or the south are not
going to enjoy any water power de-

government with respect to Muscle

PALMER ORDERS
PROSECUTION OF
PINE LUMBERMEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Attor-
ney General Palmer has ordered
suit to be brought to the federal dis
trict court at St. Louis against the
Southern Pine association, about
fifty of it's principal member COM
panies and seventy individuals, on
the ground they have entered into
conspiracy to curtail the produce

low pine lumber in violation of the
Sherman antitrust act.
The proceedings will be instituted
within the next few days, it was
said tonight at the department of
justice. They will have as their
aim the granting of a temporary in

against whom the proceedings will
be directed from further participa-
ton in what the government alleges
to be a conspiracy by curtailing pro-
duction in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tex
as, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama, and in any agreement to con-

HARDING PLANS
STEINER POLICY
TOWARD MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Concen-
tration of the Mexican question, as
an issue of paramount Importance
in Americas foreign affairs, will be-
gin Immediately after March 4, it
was said today, among those to take
a leading part in the shaping of
President-elect Harding's foreign pol
icy.
With Senator A. B. Fall considered
a cabinet certainty and Henry p.
Fletcher virtually chosen as under
secretary of state. it is recognized
kele that Harding has peculiarly en-
phasized the Importance in which he
holds American-MeXican relations.
Senator Fall, chairman of the SEN
ate committee which investigated
Mexican conditions, and Mr.. Fletcher,
former American ambassador to Mex
leo, are accepted as the men who will
be Hardings' chief advisers on Mex
leo.
A move unique in foreign rela-
tions, it is learned, already is being
considered as step toward the up
holding e f American rights in Mex
leo. This move, according to the
present plan, would take the form OF
an official statement serving notice
that unless a government In MEXICO,
recognized by the United States, .ful-
ly respects American interests, then
the American government Will guar
antee these interests. Such announce
I. ent of policy, it is stated, not only
would reassure Americans in Mexico.
but would notify the Mexican gov
eminent that the United States in
tended 10 provide adequate protec-
ton for its citizens.
Action of this nature probably
would net be taken, however, until
efforts had been made first to con-
clude a written agreement with Mex
leo, in which that country pledged
itself to adjust the existing points
now to recent advices from Mexico
which present President Obregon as
being 1oath to conclude such an
agreement. Obregon is said to take
the attitude that while Mexico is
ready to fulfill her International OBJ
her promises on paper" would i'm
pugn her good faith.
Conditions which the Harding ad-
ministration will ask Mexico to- full
fill as preliminary to recognition by
this: government were stated today
to include the following:
1, Reimbursement to Americans of
damages suffered during the revolu-
ton, with the appointment of joint
commission to adjust the claims.
z. Inc return OF all american prop
erty seized by the Mexican govern
ment or individuals.
8. An agreement for the payment
of Mexicos foreign debt, most of
which is owed in this country.
4. The repeal, or at least diff
ferent Interpretation, Of confiscatory
legislation, including the const1tu-
tional provision which nationallzes
oil.
These stipulations, it is learned on
high authority, already have the APP
prevail of President-elect Harding and
have been communicated informally
to President Obregon.

have treated the question of war-law
offenders in two ways. Where indi-
Vfduals were arrested and held upon
suspicion of disloyalty or intrigue,
but were not convicted before the end
of the war, the allied nations have
given them their freedom but those
sentenced for such offenses still are
held in prison.
The work of collecting data upon
the war law violators in this coun-
try requested by President Harding
has been begun, Justice department
officials declared today. Prepara-
tions of the digest of the different
cases. officials said, may take several
weeks, as 1t will be necessary to com

state prisons in the country to ascer-
tain where the war-law violators are
confined and to obtain histories of
their cases.
