MOBILE, Ala, Feb. Estimating ths
total cost Of building the Gulf Ports Ter
Tninal and railroad company's line from
its present terminus In Baldwin County
to Blakely Island. opposite the city OF
Mobile. at approximately $3.50. 600. Henry
owner OF the road, today presented testi-
mony to show that It would be to the
public benefit to commplete the line TO
this city. at a hearing hold at the federal
building BY the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The hearing was presided over by JOS
eph F. Gray, examiner for the commits
sion. L F. Mcdonald, engineer for the
Alabama Public Service Commission. was
also present.
The question involved is whether the
Interstate commerce commission win is
sue 4 certificate OF public convenience
and necessity to the road, which corre-
sponds to a permit for the examination
OF the line.
The estimate submitted by Mr.. Nc
Laughln was divided into two sections,
one for the completion Of the line to the
eastern shore and the other for the con
struetion Of the trestlo across the marsh
lands between the shore and BialeIy
island. lie stated that $257 600 would
cover the cost of building the IS miles
from the present terminus in Baldwin
county to a point near Daphne OF the
eastern shore. This included the rep1ae-
ing Of temporary trestles and putting ths
whole line In good shape all the way TO
Pensacola. The cost OF constructing the
trestle, or bridge. over Mobile bay and
marshes to Blakely island was estimated
at $3.50. 900.
In answer to Inquiries by the examiner.
Mr. Mclaughlin said he prepared the
estimate after an extensive and thorough
survey He said II was foolish TO bellows
that a trestle could not be built in a few
inches or feet OF water as cheaply as IL
could on land. He said his surveys had
convinced him that there was no neces-
sity for a sub-structure OF concrete for
the wood pilings to rest upon. He also
used the governments survey In arrtv-
ing at this conclusion, he said.
Several prominent residents Of Baldwin
county were present to testify as to the
need for the road and the traffic which
It would haul.
This is the second time the matter Of
permitting the completion Of the line has
been up, the Interstate commerce COM
mission, several months ago, having de-
MED the petition. rehearinB was asked
and granted.
Mr. Mclaughlin stated that he onfz
wanted four months TO complete the road
to the eastern shore Of the bay, While
the bridge was being built, he said. he
proposed to put two car ferry barges
into operation between the eastern shors
and Mobile. Freight would be unloaded
either at the Turner terminals or at the
docks Of the Alabama, Tennessee ana
Northern Railroad. Passengers would ps
taken TO the municipal wharf.
There will be no decision on the matter
for some time, It being necessary for th7
testimony 20, be filed with the commission
and studied by the body as whole.

ROME, Feb. S.-The cold wave,
which is the severest in years. accom-
panied by q. considerable fall of snow,
has forced a modification OF the cor
onation ceremonies Sunday, when
Pope Plus XII will receive the triple

1t will necessitate the passing OF the

Instead, his holiness will enter i'm

sacrament. where the late Pope Bene-
dict lay in state. There Cardinal
Del Val will render homage to the
pontiff, who descends from the papal
chair, borne on the shoulders OF the

The pope personally ordered this

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Opening

tract offer for purchase and lease Of
the government properties at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, revolved today principal
ly about the clauses relating to man.
ufacture of fertilizers for the nations

of the war department appearing as
first witness. repeatedly declared his
doubt as to whether fertilizers could
be manufactured cheaply at Muscle
Shoals and expressed his belief that
amendments to safeguard better the
governments interests in the $780,
100000 investment already made,
should be incorporated in the offer as
1t was drafted.
To alter existing government poll
cies regarding the lease Of real estate
or other properties and permit a 100
year lease of the water power machin-
cry and dams in Alabama. the secre-
tary asserted repeatedly, would be an
unwise act. and should not be permit
ted. He advocated a reduction IN this
clause from 100 years to so in the
event congress should decide to ac-
cept the offer.
Another often reiterated suggestion
'inyolving a. change In present language
OF the offer, the secretary pointed out,
would require a fixed capitalization
for the company Mr.. Ford is to create.
The secretary said no provision ex-
listed IN the offer guaranteeing a cap
italization which the government
might recover, in whole or in part, In
the event the contract was violated.
A provision OF some sort was advis-
able, he said, which would permit the
government to impose through legal
means a penalty or forfeit should the
company fail to carry out the terms
of the offer.
Anything might happen in the next
100 years." he said. While not the
slightest doubt have as to the sol
vency of Mr.. Ford, nor of his inten
tions to execute the agreement in
good faith, neither he nor / will be
here during the life of the contract.
In considering this question, we are

gineer, estimator and detailer of the

work. testified today at the coroner's
inquest into the collapse of the build
ing which resulted in the loss of SO
lives.
The changes made in the plans, ac-
cording to the witness, were the sub
stitution of trusses for large beams
and the use OF number of small
beams where other sizes had been
called for. These notifications were
made, however. he explained. because
I'VE could not obtain the kind of steel
required in the original plans" This
was communicated, he added, to Frank
Wagner, the builder, who gave his
approval provided the changes met
with the endorsement of the building
inspectors office.
Records of the building office were
read and showed that the office
threatened to have work on the struc-
ture stopped unless changes made in
the plans were reported to it. The
records, 1t was added by witnesses, do
not show whether any report of
changes was made. The inspector re-
