GEORGIAN OFFERS
FORD SHOALS BILL

WASHINGTON, June ga bill
authorizing Secretary Weeks to me.
gotiatae for the sale and lease to
Henry Ford of the Muscle Shoals,
Ala, properties under the terms of
the offer made by the Detroit man
ufacturer and amended by the house
military committee so as to elimi.
nate the Gorgas steam plant from
the properties mentioned, will be in
troduced soon in the house, probably
today, by Acting Chairman McKen-
Zie, Of the committee.
Third Opinion
The committee decide in exec
utive session today to introduce the
bills as soon as they could be draft
ed and in advance of the submission
to that body of the written reports
reciting the opinion Of the different
committee groups.
1t is probable also that Represen-
tative Parker, Republican, New
Jersey, would draft an individual
opinion opposing those Of the majors
ity( and minority. Representative
Parker was understood to object to
the sale or lease of the Muscle
Shoals properties to an individual
for one hundred years as proposed
by the committee in reporting the
Ford offer.
Representative Wright later in
troduced a bill authorizing the ac-
ceptance of the proposal of Henry
Ford for the completion and lease
of the dam and hydro electric plants
at Muscle Shoals, and for the pur-
chase of nitrate plant No. 1, nitrate
plant No. 2, the Waco quarry, and
the interest of the government in
the Gorgas-Warrior river steam
plant, all in the state of Alabamas
dated May 81, 1922"
Buffers Comment
Decision of the committee to rec
ommend adoption of Henry Ford's
offer to lease and operate the Muscle
Shoals, Ala, nitrate and power
plants, was criticized today by for.
mer Senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, as departure from the
committees announced schedule of
standards to be followed in it's con-
sideration of disposal Of the prop
erty. Mr. Butler is counsel for
rEcuerICh T.. EIlSSlruI1,' OIL w INNING
ton, N. c., who also bid on Muscle
Shoals, and part owner in the cor
poration which Mr.. Engstrum pro-
posed to form to operate the prof.
ect.
The Engstrum offer, Mr.. Butler in
sisted, would have guaranteed more
fertilizer and at a cheaper price
than that of Mr.. Ford, and he ex-
pressed belief that the committees
action was based principally on IS
faith in Mr.. Ford as a miracle
man."

STATE COP. HEAD.
Charges Involving War Con-
tracts Lead to Action by
United States Commits
sioner in Washington

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The war
frauds inquiry of the department of
justice developed a mystery today
concerning the identity of the person
or persons who on Saturday swore
out q warrant for the arrest of John
Lewis Phillips, chairman of the Re.
publican state committee of Geor-
gia, charging fraud in execution Of
war contracts.
Commissioner Isaac r. Hit, who
on Saturday issued the warrant, de-
clined today to say who made the
complaint on which the warrant was
issued. 1t became known, however,
that four persons appeared at Com
missioner Hits Office late Saturday
and that the warrant was issued
shortly thereafter.
At the department Of justice sur
prise was expressed today.
1.-THE department of justice ia
working in the dark" one high Of
fetal said. 1--WE know nothing about
it,
U. S. Marshal Holds Warrant
Likewise, the district attorneys
office professed no knowledge, and
declared that the warrant was not
issued at it's request.
The warrant for the arrest of Mr..
Phillips, it was learned, is IN the
hands of United States Marshal Ed
gar c. Snyder, and in case Mr.. Phil
lips is not located in Washington it
will he turned over to the United
States marshal in whatever district
Mr. Phillips is 10 be found. HIS
home is in Georgia, and he is said
to have an Office in Philadelphia.
A phase of the case that added to
the mystery is that despite the de-
partment of justice denial of knowl-
edge of the matter. the United
States marshals office was notified
on Saturday to send two deputy
marshals up to the department OF
Justice prepared to act in connec-
ton with the Phillips warrant.
Commissioners Hit later said that
in no case would he issue a war;
rant on the word Of an individual
unless at the request of the district
attorney or the department of JUS
tice. He had not done so in this
case, he said, but declined to go
further. He said, however, that it
could be assumed that the depart
ment of justice knew all about the
matter.
