Rehearing Refuse' .,. :. Tn Meridian Rate
 Case by the !. (. (.

Montgomery, July 12.-(SpecialO- The interstate commerce commits sion has refused the application for rehearing of the Meridian rate case which was made by various rail- roads operating in Alabama, accord ing to telegram received by the public service commission from its attorney at Washington Tuesday. This caused great rejoicing at the capitol because it was accepted as meaning that the order of the in terstate commerce commission re- quiring certain railroads to increase Intrastate rates in west Alabama will become g dead letter. After the order was issued at the request or the Meridian business mem who complained that they could not ob- tain business in west Alabama be- cause of the favorable intrastate rates from competing points In Ala bama, the railroads found that the application of the increased intra- state rates would cause still greater discrimination against Alabama towns and cities The result was that in relieving one discrimination still greater injuries would be done and the railroads asked the inter state commerce commission to take up the case again. By the refusal the railroads contend that the orig inal order increasing intrastate rates cannot be applied at all.

Washington, July l2.--( (Special) )--- It is definitely learned today that Henry Ford will not be the only bid der for the governments s1oo.0O0o 900 properties at Muscle Shoals.
 The Ford offer will serve as a predicate on which the Secretary of War can ask Congress to appropri- ate coco 900 for the completion of the Wilson dam. In making the ap- propriation, Congress will authorize the administration to complete nego- tfations with an individual or cor poration, not with MT. Ford.
 As result. other individuals thar Mir. Ford will submit bids. The Ala bana Power company will submit a bid. The DuPonts of Delaware will submit bid: and there might be others.
 The Alabama Power company, 1t IS learned today on account ef its knowledge of the Muscle Shoals pro jects and conditions, can afford to guarantee the government reason
  would not attempt to operate the cynanid plants for the production of fertilizer, but would be willing for the governmsnt to reserve sut- fcient power for their operation either by the government or by some corporation specializing in fertilizer and gunpowder.
 The publication thls morning or the effort of Mir. Ford to acquire Muscle Shoals, followed by the de- velopment that several other mai viduals or corporations would ike wise acquire the property, is taken to mean by AIabamians in Congress that Muscle Shoals, instead of being corpse. is indeed very live propo- sition.
 The indications are that wlthln q few years Muscle Shoals will be m the throes of 8 boom as pronounced as that which occurred during the war.

Montgomery,. July 12.-tspecial )-'' The state child welfare department which has been quartered in the house of representatives for many months. was moved Monday to the second floor of the Jeff Davis Memo rial building.

IL .s probable that other departments VIII go to the memorial building.
 Because of the crowded candiuon of the capitol the state highway de- partment is now located in oowh- town office building, portions oi tns health department are in oulloins on Dexter avenue, while the entire health department will soon pc moved to it's own building, whicn was provided by the legislature n 1919.

 Floor Limited
By Associated Press

Washington, July 12.-After put dns through a rule calling for a final vote on the tariff bill on July 21, and limiting amendments from the floor to hides, oil. cotton, asphalt and dyes, the House held It's first oornmodate the multitude of members eager to discuss it.
 The rule was adopted. 222 to 100 by almost a straight party vote, five republicans from Wisconsin oppos-
 ng 1t and three democrats from Louisiana voting for It's adoption. Re- publican leaders, on the face of the vote declared the bill would be passed by substantially the same majority.
 Democrats made a sharp attack against the rule declaring that by it the House would surrender it's powers to the ways and means committee. Representative Garrett of Tennessee. acting democratic leader and Reprs- sentative Bourke Cochran of New York, took chsrge of the fight, the latter asserting that by the gag rule method of legislation" the f'VtSt btb sum iutO q aCOHulLlOn al- most beneath contempt" and that 1t no longer was regarded by the coun- try as serious legislative body. Re- puplicans. on the other hand, contend ed that the rule was the mos tliberal and broadest of any. ever brought in for a special purpose.
 Discuss Harding Letter
 There was discussion among mem bers during the day of a letter under stood to deal with the proposed duties on oil which the President sent Char man Fordney. MT. Fordney admitted he had lately received a personal letter" from the President, but de- clined to discuss or reveal it's pur- port It was reported, however. that MT Harding had expressed the hope that if the House saw fit to place duty on oil, a provislo would be attached similar to that on certain kinds of lumber whnh would per init recprocal agreements to be negotiated by the executive.
 Representative Longworth of Ohio, headed the republican speakers today and talked for nearly three hours on four phases of the bill:
 Dye control, American valuation, wool and the bargaining clauses. His statements frequently brought fire from the democratic side.
 MT. Longworth defended the en- tire bill, but concentrated on an ex- planation of the woolen. American valuation, dye control and bargain ing clauses which have been objected to by democrats in nearly every speech thus far. He said he believed trial of the measure would demon strate 1t to be the best tariff meas ure ever laid before the House and described the new wool schedule, sup planting the old schedule K, as a fu- ture asset for the country. The Amer lean valuation policy, he added. was one which should have been adopted years ago. and he was convinced it never could be more badly needed than under present conditions.
