AGE-HERALD DISPATCH
 OFFICIALLY CONFIR MED

Washington, July 14.--(Spccial !. .- The dispatch of this bureau Monday night to the effect that Henry Ford had submitted a bid for the govern. ment's properties at Muscle Shoals was officially confirmed this after- noon by c. H. Huston of Knoxv1lln assistant secretary of commerce Tic figures involved are practically ideu- tical with those contained in the dispatch.
 The confirmation was sooner than anticipated. and was unquestionab, hastened by the publication Tuesday morning, which, It is stated, "precip- ltated things to head" and furthef- more greatly irritating some of the individuals concerned in the negotia- tions" Further dsconcerting were additional dispatches indicating that other individuals and corporations were preparing to contest with Mir Ford for the "plums on the banks of the Tennessee"
 Credit Due Huston
 The breath of life was breathed into the so-called Muscle Shoals by Mir Huston who, in addition to be- ing assistant secretary of commerce. is president of the Tennessee River Improvement association. He had scarcely taken office before he en- deavored to interest the administra- ton in what he considers the great est project undertaken by the United States in it's recent history. He is given credit for having interested Ford. and is again putting Muscle Shoals on it's feet.
 The administration. as far as Sec retary Hoover and Secretary Weeks are concerned, regard the Ford offer as excellent There Is no question but that the Secretary of War will appreciate the fact that MT. Ford has scalled' his offer to recommend the appropriation of about s30.00o.ooo for the completion of the dam. He Is ex- pected to act as quickly as he can wise and approve the offer.
 Attitude of Democrats
 The attitude of the democratic members of the Senate is described as follows: They arc delighted that Muscle Shoals is again alive, and that the odds greatly favor it's ultimate development to the greatest possible extent. They are interested that the republican administration will ask that Muscle Shoals be turned over to private individual because repub- lican senators charged them, when they fought for the passage of a bill creating a government corporation for the operation of Muscle Shoals. with secretly working in behalf of the Alabama Power company or other private enterprises.
 Senator Underwood. while interest- ed in the confirmation of the Ford negotiations. and delighted in the prospects involving Muscle shoals. declined tonight to give an interview for publication. Other members of the Alabama delegation, who sinoe the original publication have sought in vain for verfication at the de- partments. declared their satisfao- tion.

Ordered Brought In

WA1rs. Kaber's attitude in refusing to submit to examination, talk or come into court caused delay of the o'clock, On being advised of her phys ical condition. Judge Bernon ordered her brought into the courtroom, by force if necessary. She was brought in by two bailiffs who partly carried her. She exhibited no signs of faint ing after being brought in, though she had suffered hysterical faint ing spell during the noon hour in her cell
 Decision not to have Mrs. Kaber testify, though her counsel had maintained ever since the trial starr ed that she could take the witness stand and tell of alleged habits f her husband, which they contended within their statement of the ease, augmented her state of insanity, was no surprise to the states counsel they said It was Keen disappoinr- ment to the spectators. however.
 Think She is Insane
 Three witnesses today testified that they believed Mrs. Kaber in sane. They were Dr. James o. Has sell, an a1ienist called by the defense: Mrs Kaber's sister, and religious practitioner.
 Dr. Charles w. E. Stone, an alienst for the state was the only other per son to testify today. pr. Stone, answ- ering the same hypothetical question uropounded to Dr. Hassell said 1t vas bis opinion that Mrs. Kaber was sane when she Is alleged to have planned the murder of her husband.
 Dr. Stone also expressed a similar opinion in answer to another hypo- thetical question propounded by the state, and based upon alleged de- tails of the crime. Dr. Stone also testified as to Mrs. Kaber's physical condition. both last night and today. Dr. John S Tierney, who also ex- amined Mrs. Kaber. and probably, Dr. H. H. Drysdale will be called in the capacity of an alienist tomor- row by the state.
 The state also has one vital witt ness to be examined before fl can close it's case. He Is Dr. P. A. Jacobs, former county coroner, who gave the verdict that MT, Kaber had died from the stab wounds received the night of July IS, 1919. Dr. Jacobs is ex- pected to arrive tonight from Can ada, where he has been on fishing trip The state has not offered evil dence to show that the stab wounds were the actual cause of Kaber's death relying exclusively upon the testimony of Dr. Jacobs

things to come. Contrary to his usual
course Of action. he wrote me nice
letter of appreciation.
His negro dialect stories have de-
lighted children the world over and, I
believe, were written for the sole pur-
pose OF pleasing children-for he was
always a lover of children. The first
poem / ever knew him to write was
while he was in the Advertiser Office,
and was dedicated to Nora Belle, !"
who was then guest Of her uncle, the
owner of the paper. She was beauti-
full child and great favorite with all.
Children Of all races have read his
quaint animal stories and been de-
lighted.

Tribute to Joel Chandler Harris.

Three months -------------------- 30
Tribute to Joel Chandler Harris.
Tomorrow Friday, December 9th
will be the 73d birthday anniversary Of
Joel Chandler Harris, now known the
world over as I" Uncle Remus."
My first recollection Of Mr.. Harris
was upon going to Forsythe, Ga, and
entering the Office Of the Monroe
Advertiser as an apprentice, on March
8, 1868, where he was employed as a
printer, and not as an editor, as is
generally supposed He was then
about twenty years Of age, and, / then
thought, had the reddest thatch Of hair
OF any one had ever met, and STAN
mered badly. This defect In speech,
think, was the cause Of his shyness.
He always avoided crowds.
The reconstruction period, imme-
diately following the War Between the
States, had left everything in q de-
plorable condition, and his short para
graphs finding their way into the
columns Of the Advertiser is what first
attracted the attention Of the public to
his ability as q writer. These para
graphs were always put In type at the
case and never written beforehand
They created great deal Of attention
throughout the state, nearly every
Georgia paper copying the skits. They
were always brief and to the point.
Soon after 1 entered the Office he
took charge OF my reading, selecting
every book that / read, and in every
way aiding me. We were both
boarders of the owner OF the AdUer-
tisev, Mr.. James r. Harrison, and oc-
cupied the sape room. He was always
considerate to those In the Office from
time to time, and, while he had only a
few intimates, he had way Of holding
them.
The Adpertiscr was then one OF the
neatest printed papers In the state,
winning u $50 check, offered by the
Georgia State Fair Association, then
dolniciled In Atlanta, and although
printed then on an old Washington
hand press. Mr.. Chandler did all the
press work-and he was fast press
man. Ny job was to roll the FORMS
put the INK on. HIS pay was $40 per
montn' tnen considered liberal. He
was NOT e4travagant IN his habits,
sending MS motner, who then lived at
Eatonton, Ca, nearly all his salary.

Ogden, Is in bad health and wants

OF $4,000, on any reasonable terms.
There have been chances to lease
this land for enough to pay for 1t at
the price he is asking now, and it is
reasonable to expect that the same
opportunity will come again. There
are preparations being made now to
