NEW OFFER FOR
 SHOALS WILL BE
 MADE ID WEEKS
Proposal of Arkansas Light & Power Company to Dif- fer Widely From Those
 of Ford and James
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, October 3.-(Spe- cial.)-The Arkansas Light anc Power company has prepared and i: to submit to Secretary of Wal Weeks immediately upon his return an offer for Muscle Shoals.
 The new proposal Is 10 diner
 widely from those of Henry Ford
 and Charles E. James of Chatta-
 nooga. The Arkansas concern
 propriate $35,000,O0 for the com
 pietion of the undertaking. in the
 nature of continuing appropria-
 tion of S7,O00,000 per annum for
 period of five years, the com-
 pany to undertake the completion
 of the job or to permit the gov-
 ernment to do so, but under all
 circumstances the contractors to
 have the work on one-fifth done
 and be paid .S7.O0O.OO0 at the end
 of each fiscal year.
 The company proposes to lease
 inc property for period of 50
 years, with option of renewal in
 compliance with the terms of the
 general water power act. The pro-
 posaI will carry n provision that
 the property be turned over to the
 government for use in time of
 war. The manufacture of ni-
 trates for fertilizer is to be car-
 ried on as intended under the
 original plan, such to be sold to
 farmers of the country nt what
 ever price the Secretary of Agri-
 culture may fix.
 Promise Cheap Power.
 The company proposes that it vii take over the plant and operate Il at the end of the five years required to finish it, and will sell power tl consumers at 1 mill per kilowatt 1t is estimated that at the end O 90 years the company will have paic into the government treasury S100. 000.e00. on an amount equal to wha' the plant will cost the government.
 A new point is to be raised by the company, it is said, in it's offer this being relative to Dam No. 3 The company will propose that in, stead of the Wilson Dam being com pleted height of 100 feet, that il be built 135 feet, or the height oi the Wilson Dam and Dam No. combined, this plan to eliminate Dam No. entirely A guarantee will be aske ed from the government as to the security of the foundations of the Wilson Dam, and it will be proposed that the one dam be completed or what is known as the crib plan, 8 method used with success through out the country, it is argued.
 It develops today that other bid ders on the Muscle Shoals property are expected, now that Henry Fore has vitalized and brought to the at tention ot the financial world it: potentialities as a power project.

SAVANNAH MAYOR NOW
FIRST AID TO D. CUPID
Love-Sick SWANS Reading of Success of Dawson
Farmers Appeal, Seek Wives
Themselves

SAVANNAH, Aug. 23.-Little did
Mayor Stewart thinl; when he gave
out for publication a few days ago
letter from a Dawson farmer, ask
ing the mayor to help the agricul-
turist to find a wife that he took the
fatal step toward becoming a clear
ing house for swains who fain would
take unto themselves a wife.
But this is exactly what has hap
pened. The story published concern
ing the marital yearnings Of the Daw-
son farmer was copied by newspapers
throughout the state. Likewise the
fact that six Savannah women had
answered the appeal was heralded.
The whole thing seemed rather fun
ny; the mayor chuckled and his
chuckles were echoed by others un-
der the city hall dome. 1t was rich.
That was several days ago. Today
the matter is not quite as funny. The
has a problem on his hands
which promises to grow as great as
any of the several municipal guam
daries which perhaps keep his honor
awake nights now. For it appears
many good men and true in this neck
of the woods-and as far away as
Mississippi-have started stream of
'wife-getting" mail to Mayor Stew

MACON FIRE FOR
MISSING BODIES
Gas Explosion Blamed
For Disaster by Cor
oner S Jury.

MACON, Aug. 23.-County Con-
victs today began digging into the
ruins of the Brown House here where
at least twelve persons lost their lives
in the fire early yesterday.
At local hospital where eight in
jured are being treated it was said
today that all will recover.
One of the bodies recovered yes
terday was identified as that of H.
A. Turnipseed of Hampton, but later
relatives of j. L. Collins, of Macon,
claimed the body as his. Another
body has been identified as c. H.
Pope, of Pinevlew.
The missing include
H. A. Turnipseed, Hampton, Ga,
railway flagman.
w. A. Ward, news butcher.
Sergt, Oscar Knight, Camp Ben
ming, Columbus, Ga.
Private Henry Moore, Camp Upton

A. B. White, flagman, Central of
Georgia railroad.
A coHoner's jury late yesterday af-
ternoon held that an explosion Of es-
Gaping gas in the basement of the
Drummer Drug store in the Brown
House early yesterday morning caus-
ed the destruction of the hotel. A
grand jury investigation will be
made.
The coroner's verdict that an ex-
plosion of gas caused the fire is said
to have been based on statements
made by Motorcycle Officer Spier
that he had been informed by more
than one person that the odor of es
Gaping gas had been detected.
K K. Domingos, drug clerk at
Drummer Drug Company, said he had
smelled gas from time to time but
had not reported it. He also said that
highly inflammable materials were
stored in the basement
