Norris Committee Urges
u. S. Run Muscle Shoals
Ford Offer Assailed Sharply in
Report Which Suggests
Government Operation

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-Rejection
of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals
and enactment of legislation for devel-
opment of the war-built projects in
Alabama by a government-owned and
government-controlle corporation was
recommended to the Senate to-day by
Chairman Norris Of the Senate Agri-
cultural Committee.
The report criticized the Ford offer
sharply, describing it as "the most
wonderful real estate speculation since
Adam and Eve lost title to the Garden
Of Eden." and inquiring "why a war
ranty deed to the Capitol at Washing
ton Is not included in this great trans
fer of government property to this
wonderful corporation 2"
The plan embodied in the Norris bill
was described as "the most wonderful
plan for the development Of power OIL
the Tennessee River and it's distribution
over the Southern states that has ever
been proposed in the history Of our
country"
The report submitted to-day will be
followed by another from the commit
tee next week, presented by Senator
Ladd, Republican,, of North Dakota, and
supported by those favoring uncondi-
tional acceptance of the Ford offer.

Russian Crop a Failure,
Nar,ser, Yarns League
Tells Council That Europe Is on
Abyss and Economic Recon.
structios of Country Is Vital

LONDON, July 20 (By The Associ-
ated Press) DIR. Fridtjof Nansen to-
day presented to the League of Ma
tions Council a report on epidemic,
crop and famine conditions in Russia.
The report declared that Russia's har-
vest this year would amount to only
100000 tons, or so per cent below
that of 1916.
DR.. Nansen said the Norwegian gov
ernment believed Europe was on the
edge Of an abyss, and that the eco
nomic reconstruction Of Russia now
was the dominant issue in world af-
fairs. He begged the council to ap-
point a commission of experts to go to
Russia and establish by absolutely up-
questionable authority what is the
actual situation there. He recon-
mended that men like former. Premier
Venizelos of Greece and Sir Eric Drum
mond, former British Minister of
Transportation, be made members of
such a commission.
1t was announced by the council
that the Rockefeller Foundation had
placed at the disposal of the League of
Nations for five years $4,000 per an
mum for the gathering and publication
Of archaeological and statistical in
formation on public health, and 100000
yearly for three years for an exchange
of public health experts between the
different countries.

Attack Pressed
On 7O-Nlile Line
By Free Staters
Regulars Move Forward ON
Front From Limerick to
Waterford; Outposts of
Rebels Fall in Former CITY
Peace Move Is, Spurned
Irish Government Says That
1t Will Not Compromise
With Republican Foes
Special Cable TO The Tribune


Copyright, 1922, Now York Tribune Inc.
DUBLIN, July 20.--The Free State
forces took the offensive against the
republican insurgents on the whole
seventy mile front between Limerick
and Waterford to-day. The attack was
twofoh, being particularly pressed on
the wings covering the two towns. I'M
mediately preceding the advance the
provisional government issued state
ment saying that "peace built on COM
promise with forces that have behaved
as have the irregulars would be peace
too costly to the Irish nation"
The Free Staters developed their Of
fensive in methodical manner. con-
solidating all the ground won before
making further advance. In Lin
erick the government troops closed in
which are now dominated, while out
posts have been captured. The irreg-
ulars' losses here are estimated at
twenty killed and forty wounded, while
many are reported to be deserting to
the Free Staters.
Fierce fighting is in progress this
evening at Waterford City, where the
Free Staters are bombarding the rebel
positions with 18-pounders. Shrapnel
and high explosives are being showered
on the barracks and Jail, which are
held by the insurgents.
Railroad communication between
Dublin and the north was cut off this
morning by the blowing up of the
Malahide bridge, but breakdown gangs
are at work, and it is expected that
the line will be in operation soon. Tele-
phone communication with the towns
north Of Dublin remains cut off. The
Free Staters now claim that aside from
the southwest they have completely
cleared all counties except Galway,
Limerick and Tipperary, where some
guerrilla resistance is to be overcome.
The provisional governments state
ment just before the main attack
started was caused by a peace move
made by labor members of the Dali,
backing up an effort last night by ir-
regular ENJOYS from Cork who were
reported to be trying to come to terms
invited other members to meet in the
Dublin Mansion House this afternoon
to discuss the situation, but no other
members turned up and the meeting
was abandoned.
The terms Of the governments mani
festo leave no doubt that Michael
Collins and Arthur Griffith are de-
termined to end the irregulars' re-
sistance. Stating that the counties of
Waterford, Cork, Kerry and Mayo are
in subjection to the irregulars, the
statement adds: "The term subjection
is used advisedly, for the irregulars'
rule on account of there being no
other authority than that of armed
force" The statement concludes by
calling on all citizens to assert the
will of the people.

the days dragged along. A dog beloved

Strick, of 229 Park Avenue, Hoboken
would gladly have served sentence fo,
him instead. He offered himself as a
substitute, but Recorder A. C. Carster
insisted on Sporty's incarceration.
The court had not reckoned on re.

U. S. Rhine Bill May Be
Paid i'm German DYES
Reparation Commission Has
Plan to Turn $3,O0O,OOO
Over Annually

PARIS, July 20 (By The Associated
Press). = The American government
would receive its quota of German
dyes, amounting to more than S3,ooo,-
600 annually, as part payment for
maintaining it's army on the Rhine, un-
der the terms of a plan which is now
being worked out by the American
government with the aid of the Repara-
tion Commission. All that remains 20
put the plan into effect is the final np-
proval Of some of the Allied powers,
This approval IS expected in few
weeks.
The commission regards the plan as
n successful solution of how the United
States is to be paid for keeping its
forces on the Rhine, and it is indicated
that the American government has in
dorsed it.
Under the proposed scheme the
American government probably would
receive the money which is now paid
the Reparation Commission by the Tex
tile Alliance Of America. 1t has also
been suggested that the American gov
ernment receive the dyes direct and
sell them to the textile concerns, but
this has not yet been approved.

again. This, in addition to requests
from all quarters, sent the recorder

Stack, who examined Sporty and found
he was not suffering from rabies or
anything more serious than homesick
ness. An order was promptly signed
releasing him, and his master prom
ised that there would not be any more
biting. Sporty, looking on, wagged his
tail as if to say that he would see to
that.
He left the pound on the run, head
up, all his spirit restored to him. He
could hardly contain himself for joy
as he charged right into the welcom-
ing arms of his master and then Of
Mrs. Strick. There were dozens of
women and children around to see him
regain his freedom and he led tri-
umphal procession to the Strick home.
ne was hugged, kissed and carried un-
til he was breathless from too much
attention.
Last night the Stricks gave a special

sporty. He likes jazz and was glad to
be leading a dogs life again.

Secretary of State Lyons
Says Tolbert Law Cannot
Be Enforced This Year

Secretary of State John J. Lyons an
nounced last night that there would
be no installation of voting machines
in this city this fall, although special
bill authorizing them became a law
this year.
"The reason" said Secretary Lyons,
sis that the only company manufac-
turing voting machines that have stood
the test of time and able to supply
New York with the required number
of machines this fall has decided it
does not want to enter into any con-
tract with New York City,"
Charles E. Heydt, one of the Repub-
lican Election Commissioners, said re-
Gently that the present ballot makes
possible fraudulent voting on the part
of Tammany Hall to the extent of
$4,000 votes in every election.
Refuses Fight With Tammany
The! Tolbert law, passed at the last
session of the Legislature, authorizes
the Secretary Of State to let con-
tract for machines sufficient to equip
at least Is per cent of the New York
polling places this year, but, following
opposition on the part of the Tam
many members of the Board Of Elec-
tions, with prospect that the maker
of the machines would have to sue for
his pay, the Automatic Registering
Machine Corporation, of jamestown, N.
Y, decided to refuse to sell machines
to New York City.
The jamestown firm, outlining its at
titude to the Secretary Of State, said
that "the controlling element of the
present administration of New York

munities desiring them. The entire
matter of this contract has become
involved in such bitter political con-
troversy, in which we have taken nc
part (nor do we intend toy, that in ou,
judgment it is extremely doubtful
whether any business could benefit
from the experiences to be expected
following the consummation of such a
contract"
Nearly rs per cent Of the cities OF
the state are equipped with the James
town machines, with the result that
the tally of their ballots is known
within half an hour after the closing
of the polls on election night.
Give Results by z O'clock
at would be a revelation to the New
Workers to have correct official cleo
tion result known to all citizens and
on the streets in the newspapers by
2 o'clock on election night" said Com
missioner Heydt "This is what the
other cities of the state enjoy every
year by the used of machines. Ma
chimes make this possible. They also
do away with incorrectly marked bal
lots, void and protested blanks, ex-
pensive recounts, delays in seating
elected officials to say nothing
of saving to the city of hundreds
of thousands of dollars in printing anc
in the pay of election officials"
The blocking of the purchase of the
machines by the Hylan administration
is likely to provoke a reprisal at the
next session of the Legislature.
