FORD HAS RIVAL
SEEKING MUSCLE
SHOALS POWER
Alabama Power Company
Tells What it Proposes to Do
-Hould Industrialize a Ter.
ritory Eight Hundred Miles
in Diameter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-- Devel-
opment of hydro-electric power suf-
ficient to industrialze territory 5000
miles in diameter with the center bas-
ed on Muschel Shoals Ala, was prom
ised the House military committee
today by Thomas w. Martin, presi-
dent of the Alabama Power Company
in the event Congress accepted the
offer of that company for purchase
and development of the government
owned steam and power projects at
Muscle Shoals.
Thorough studies had been made
of power markets within a radius of
400 miles Of Muscle Shoals, MIR. Mar
tin said and application for energy
already filed with the power COM
pany convinced him there was need
for developing Muscle Shoals and
distributing the power throughout
that section of the country. His COM
pany was prepared to serve the public,
functioning as public utility regu-
lated by federal and state laws, he
added and deliver power in emergency
cases to a greater distance by relay
sysems.
Representative Greene, Republican,
Vermont, contrasted the power COM
pany's proposal with the offer sub
mitted by Henry Ford. Under the
latter, Mr.. Greent believed much of
the power created at the Shoals
would be used in the manufacture of
fertilizer parts for automobiles and
other commomities by a private con-
Germ. The question was, he said,
whether the Ford or Alabama offers
would best serve the public policy
adding that the power company did
not make any provision in its pro-
posal for fertilizer production.
While the committee examined Mr..
Martin, the Senate agricultural COM
mittee met to decide when senators
who had expressed a wish to visit
Muscle Shoals could make the trip.
Senator Norris said about as senator's
wanted to make the trip and he fear
ed the Senate would have to close
down its business for about five days
while the inspection tour was being
made. After lengthy discussion the
committee authorized Senator Norris
its chairman, to confer with Repub-
lican and Democratic leaders and re-
port what time would best suit those
wishing to attend.
The House also heard arguments
by opponents Of the Alaroma Power
Company who contended the govern
ment was obligued to sell the Ala
bama company It's ownership in the
Warrior steam plant.
Mr.. Oliver declared this would not
be upheld by any court and he ad-
vocated thot Congress direct the in
itation of condemnation proceedings
on the ground that the contract was
'unfair, unjust and unreasonable.
With the exception of Mr.. divers
argument the entire day was devoted
to Mr.. Martins explation of the pow
er company's offer and interrogation
of the witness by committeeman.

NOT FOOD FOR
BABES AND FOOLISH
Prof. Bradford States He
Wrote the Article Published
Last Week For Benefit of
Sensible People-Not to
Start An Argument.
Dear Barber;

Dear Barber;
Last week / wrote a short article
which you were kind enough to pub
lish. In this article I intended to
appeal to the intelligent people of
Yalobusha County. 1t seems that one,
j. w. Delk, has mistaken idea that
was writing something he could un-
derstand. ! have no intention of
starting some measely little squabble.
For the benefit of the aforesaid Delx
let me state that am not acquainted
with Dennis Murphee, have never
seen him nor have ever written to
him. Let me further state that if the
big corporations paid their taxes with
a check and dated this check on Feb.
lst., and as soon as this bill was pass
ed telegraphed the banks not to pay
the checks, then ! want to congratu-
late the big corporations for having
intelligent business men to handle the
business. They were within their
rights.
There is no negro in the wood pile
at all in so far as I am concerned.
| stand squarely with the corporations
n their effors to develope Mississippi
in the face of such opposition as of
fered by Delk and his ink. These COR
porations pay more than their share
of the taxes, do more than their share
Of the material development, donate
their share to every worthy cause,
honor and promote their worthy en-
ployees, are forced to endure damage
suits Of every possible nature, abuse
at the hands of the shyster lawyer
and the ignorant jury, and yet with
it all serve the people.
Amoung the big corporations / re-
fer to the railroads, telegraph and
telephone companies, express compan-
les, banks, investment companies, and
manufacturing industries of Missis-
sippi.
When / get ready to write an art
icle appealing to the passion and pre-
judice of certain class of people !
will liable it as such and put it in
such terms os these people can under
stand. In the meantime I am doing
all that can to help in the develop
ment of the county.
Very truly yours,
T. C. BRADFORD.

DRILLING OPERATIONS
START AT HOUSTON

The Houston Times-Post says the
drillers are again at work on the
Houston test we'll, drilling down be-
side the drill stem which was broken
in the well sometime ago. and in q
short time will be able to lift the old
stem out and proceed with the drill
ing.
Mr. Danner and his company seem
determined 20 make a through test
Of this we'll, and we think the citi-
zens of this community should give
them everv assistance and encourage
ment possible. All who want to take
some leases for chance on what
may show up. should take them with
Mr.. Danner, for through him you win
be helping to make the test for de-
veloping the leases you buv. If there
is oil here we should drill and get

ONLY BRITAIN
CAN PAY WAR
DEBT INTEREST
Neither France Nor Italy Able
to Meet Obligation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Great
Britain alone of all the allied govern
ments is in position Immediately to
pay interest on its share Of war debt.
France is not now and for five years
may not be in position to make pay
ment on either interest or principal
account. In the case of Italy it may
be 10 years before such payments can
be reasonably expected.
This view is held by Americans ex-
perts in Europe after discussing the
allied debt question with financiers
and economists. The discussion arose
in connection with the plan for re-
funding the war debts advanced by B
#. Yoakum. The main idea of the
Yoakum plan is to refund the debts
at four and one-half per cent for so
years with two per cent sinking fund
for purposes Of amortization. Our
experts in Europe feel that this plan
would meet with general approval
here and in debtor countries, provid-
ed it were made sufficiently elastic
to give France and Italy few years
in which to begin payments.
A good many financial men in Lon
don believe, according to advices re-
ceived here today, that even Great
Britain win not begin payments in q
hurry unless the United States takes
a firm stand, and that such an attitude
on the part of our government would
be a good service to England, because
much of the British government fiscal
policy is regarded as unsound and
foolish.

With Police.

CHICAGO. September 29.-The Rev.
John H. Williamson. Chicago's $lo.-
0OO-a-year 'Iaw enforcer," was dis
missed yesterday by Mayor William
Hale Thompson. The minister was
appointed to the unique position eight
months ago.
The dismissal of the law enforcer.
vague and underlined, was the climax
of differences with Chief Of Police
Charles c. Fitzmorris. which began
soon after the minister's appoint
ment
Without definite duties and with no
definite Office assigned to him, Mr.
Williamson took possession of a small
office off a committee room in the
city hall and went to work. He never
succeeded in reaching an agreement
with Chief Fitzmorris and few days
ago he charged that gambling and
vice were f1ourishing and could only
flourish through corruption in the
police department.
Chief FitZmorris replied that Will
Hanson was getting his inspiration
from gangsters. He declared that the
law enforcer had been visited by
Mike de Pike" Heitler, once known
as a vice and gambling king and
Fred Nader. a labor leader.
When the minister received the
mayors dismissal he refused to COM
ment.
At the time Of his appointment po-
litical opponents of the mayor
charged that Mr. Williamson was ap-
pointed for political purposes. Min
listers themselves were divided over
the wisdom of placing a preacher in
a political position.

All over the world the best and
largest diamonds are vanishing,

the continent in the attempt to
obtain stones to satisfy the de-
mand which has suddenly sprung
up for the finest gems. But they
have small success, for a mysteri-
Gus shortage exists at time OF
unprecedented demand.
diamonds will soon become the
currency of the world if money
continues to depreciate at the rate
Of the last few months" one deal
er said recently. "Rich Americans
are buying all the stones they can
secure. There is an unlimited de-
mand for two-grainers up to the
six-grainers from America, and
Japan is buying largely. Fine
small stones are also very scarce.
THE Germans are hanging on to
their diamonds like grim death.
They will not sell at any price. and
regard their diamonds as the only
real security left them. The same
spirit obtains in other countries"
