the present time. Senator ONerman is certain that the investigation will prove to the secretary that the leas- ing of the steam plant to the Alabama Power company will result in putting to work 10000 idle men.
 The secretary declared that he would not grant a lease which in any way would interfere with plans for the permanent disposal of the Muscle Shoals property. The proposed lease, to. endure one year, would not, it Is understood, interfere with any con templated arrangement. But, 1t Is the understanding in Washington that Henry Ford, who Is endeavoring to acquire Muscle Shoals, is not in- clined to favor the proposed lease to the Alabama Power company.
 If the lease is granted 1t will dem- onstrate the value to industry of a great source of power which. in time of emergency. may be diverted to all leviate distress in distances as far removed as 1000 miles. The objection of Ford Is not discussed by his agents in Washington.
 Mir. Weeks stated this afternoon that MT. Ford has not accepted as yet an invitation Co come to Washing ton. But that he will come is re- garded as certain.

$500, 900 is BET
ON BIG BOUT AT

For the first time since the
Carpentier-De battle was
arranged, Wall Street to-day laid
huge sums on the result. On the
floor OF the New York Stock Ex-
chanla approximately $500, 900 was
wagc-ed.
One of the most prominent
members OF the Exchange offered
500. 900 against $40, 900 that Demp-
sey would score n knockout. This
was quickly snapped up and
$4,000 additional was offered at
the same odds. There was much
more difficulty in securing takers,
but the wager was finally placed.
Tho same broker then offered
$4,000 against $4,000 that Demp-
scy would score n Knockout. but
was unable to find takers.
The stipulation was made that
IL Carpenter should commit
foul. 1t would count the same as
u knockout for Dempsey.
The Same broker who made the
above wagers placed $4,000 even
that Carpenter would not re-
spond to the bell at the beginning
OF the seventh round.
