GEORGIA SWINE GROWERS
HOLDBLG SALE AT TENNILLE
CHARGESO OF BRIBERY
ATTEMPT ARE DENIED

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April To-
General r. E. Steiner, of Montgom-
cry, has served notice that he will
enter suit for damages against news
papers printing dispatches from
Washington yesterday connecting
him with charges that he sought, by
an offer of $2,500,00O, to induce the
Alabama division Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation to abandon
it's allegiance to Henry Ford and
make an effort to acquire for itself
the lease on nitrate plant No. 2.
The Alabama Power company. for
which company General Steiner al
legged to have acted by Gray Silver,
legislative agent at Washington of
the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, likewise served notice on news
papers demanding a retraction of the
charge.
A telegram from the power COM
pany demanding retraction was
also sent to the United Press.
General Steiner stated he would
proceed with his individual suits
against newspapers regardless OF
whether formal retraction were
made of the matter complained of.
"Such a proposed arrangement as
set forth in the Washington dispatch
cannot be bribery, as charged" said
w. l.. Martin, general attorney Tor
the power company. "Officers of the
Alabama Farm Bureau are not pub
lie officers and no business arrange
ment with, or offer to them can con-
stitute the offense of bribery.
Given if the facts were correct,
which they are not, there could be
no offense in a business arrange
ment of the nature suggested, and
no one could complain if the Ala
bama Power company, through its
counsel, entered into negotiations to
furnish the capital with which to
operate the nitrate plants at Muscle
Shoals for the purpose of making
fertilizers for the farmers; but the
charge of bribery in this connection
is one which the Alabama Power
company cannot permit to. go I'M

Asleep for Eight Years

FORT SMITH, Ark, April TO-
Jim Eshlinger, Fort Smiths Rip Van

Eshlinger is in a senli-stupor at

Though subsisting on a few spoon

attending nurses and physicians at
the hospital said today that he may

Eshlinger has been seemingly

BANKS ARE BULG|NC
WITH IDLE MONEY.
j. S. REPORT SAYS
Treasury Officials Sound
Most Optimistic Note Of the
Year-Industry and Trade
in General Revival
BY HARDEN COLFAX
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal
(Convripht 1927

Copyright, 1929
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Million
share days and a roaring bull mar
ket on the New York Stock Elk
change are explained almost in
full, by the current statement OF
the federal reserve board showing
the condition of the country's banks.
This statement shows that the
banks are overlooking with money
with billions of dollars of potential
credit idle andy actively seeking en-
ployment. The statement records a
complete reversal of conditions "a
year ago when money was tight,
credit difficult to obtain and loans
were down, in some instances, to
the safety line.
Twenty billion dollars in potential
credit lies unused in the federal
reserve system alone, according to
the boards statement. Federal re-
serve banks have gold reserves to-
day totalling within a few millions
of three billion dollars. OF this
great sum, less than one-fourth, or
approximately $723,O0O,O0O is work
ing in the form of loans to member
banks. Three times this much was
out on loans a year ago. Of the
reserve, more than $600,000,000 has
come to us in gold from foreign coun-
tries during the past twelve months.
With billions of credit seeking en-
ployment and billions of actual gold
inactive in the bank vaults, and
with general business conditions as
yet unready to demand huge loans
for expansion, it is only natural,
treasury officials assert, that the idle
money should flow into channels
which promise to yield interest re-
turns. The easiest channels lie by
way of the stock exchange and
those, apparently, are the one. which
credit and money have chosen to
follow.
Big Rise in Stocks
The big upward swing of stocks
which was recorded this week has
been expected for nearly month.
Financially, everything has been in
readiness for it for at least that long.
Treasury officials here expect that
the stock market will continue &C.
tive and generally upward, with mil
lion share days commonplace, for
weeks to come. Reactions are con-
fidently anticipated, but the volume
of trading is expected to remain at
high figures.
How hard pressed the federal re-
serve banks have been to find prof
liable employment for their big store
of idle dollars is indicated by COM
parsons of some of their invest
ments today with those of a year
ago. At that time the banks owned
$25,O00,00O in United States notes
and bonds; today they own 1927 ,000,-
000 A year ago their total invest
ment in other bonds was $6,000,000.
Today it stands at $148,O00,000
During the first six months of 1921
the reserve banks had net earnings
of $4,000, 900: during the last six
months their earnings dropped to
about $45,000,000.
The other factor influencing heavy
trading in stocks, in the opinion of
officials here, is confidence in the
immediate and prospective trade re-
vival.

BILL INTRODUCED
To COMPLETE DAM
At MUSCLE SHOALS
R, E, Steiner Denies Story
of Bribery Attempt Sena-
tor Underwood FaVorS
Proposition of Ford

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The
Norris resolution creating a oVern-
ment-owned corporation, and auv
thorizing the secretary of war, pend
ing organization of the corporation,
to begin construction at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, on Dam No. 2 was in
troduced in the senate today by it's
author.
Immediate reference of the reso,
luton to the agriculture committee
was asked by Ser Norris in order
that it might be considered by that
body in connection with the hear
ing the committee initiated today
on the proposals submitted by Hen
ry Ford, the Alabama Power COM
pany, Frederick EngstrUm !
Charles Parsons, involving pur-
chase, lease, completion and opera
ton of the Muscle Shoals projects.
Bribery Attempt Denied
Il. E. Steiner, an attorney of
Montgomery, Ala, appeared before
the house military committee and
entered sweeping denial of infer
ences in newspaper dispatches
based on a statement issued by the
American Farm Bureau Federation
that he had offered virtual bribe''
to the Alabama Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton to block Henry Ford's offer
to the government for it's Muscle
Shoals projects. Mr.. Steiner said
the virtual bribe' statement was
an Infamous lie."
Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
minority leader, invited to make
the opening statement when the in
investigation was opened, said his
chief interest in Muscle Shoals was
the development of nitrogen from
tn air for use in restoring fertility
of soil for agricultural purposes. He
declared the question of renewal
of the fertility of the soil was one
of the most important" not less i'm
portant than possession of an army
and navy for national protection.
While development of Muscle
Shoals would not n~~duce all the soil
food required for the nations
Il IDS, the senator said, it would do
much in that direction, and, he de-
clared, congress ought to adopt an
immediate policy for the future of
Muscle Shoals. Wor1- on the prof
ects, Senator Underwood added,
should not be delayed.
1.-THE Ford proposal" said the
senator, was to develop the shoals
on a national basis. I think it
would be nothing less than a crime
to haul down the flag on the CAPT
tol, and let congress adjourn, with
out determining on a policy to make
nitrogen at Muscle Shoals, in order
thu the people m.ly have better
and cheaper fertilizer

Modem Jack Homer
Makes Richer Haul

CHICAGO, April S.-The little
Jack Horner of Mother Goose who
stuc- his thumb into the Christmas
pie and extracted a plum was a
piker compared with Chicago's
youngster of the same name.
The modern Jack, aged 6, stuck
his whole hand into y neighbours ash
heap today and brought forth a jar
full of pretty papers. He took them
home, got his mothers scissors and
settled down for a quiet hour cut
ting pictures from the paper he had
found. Then Papa Horner came
home, gave one gasp and grabbed
the scissors.
The pretty pictures were the
decorations on LibN"' bonds. The
plum" the youngster pulled out of
the ash heap was a jar containing
nearly $4,000 worth of the bonds
stolen recently. Jack had destroyed
only about $4,000 worth
