fused to release on writs of habeas
corpus any of the 1914 labor leaders,
union members and gun-men held
by the police tonight in connection
with the Staying of two patrolmen
yesterday at the elimination Of a
series of labor bombings.
In refusing to honor writs for
several labor leaders seized in spec
tacular police raids yesterday, the
two judges expressed their horror
at the murders, bombings and gen.
eral lawlessness which have marke'
opposition to the Lands wage
award in the building trades,
I'VE are in a state of anarchy
that approaches in intensity the
condition that existed during the
Haymarket anarchist riots" de-
clared Judge 5canlan in the Grim
inal court.
"The whole function of govern
ment seems 20 be broken down."
said Judge Davis in the supreme
court. ''If the men were part of
conspiracy to take human life they
are as guilty as those who fired the
guns and threw the bombs. They
should be convicted and hanged" !"
In repeating his declaration of
war against the "hoodlums and ex-
convicts who go about posing as
leaders of labor" Charles Fitzmor-
ris. chief of police, pointed 10 the

four hours. THAT should prove to
Chicago that the siuggers and
thugs who were rounded un yes

with the fellows in Jail, there
was not enough crime last night to
startle a town Of $4,000 people, and
the only crime in the day<~as a
jewelry store robbery that looks
now like a fake"
In the meantime, flat denials
of any knowledge of lawlessness
were made by several of those held.
Fred Nader. president of the
building trades council, declaring
his innocence and offering re-
ward of $1,000 for any information
leading to the arrest and convic-
ton of the slayers of the two po-
licemen.
"Big Tim" Murphy of the gas
workers union. another Of those
held. declared:
Chief F'itzmorris had me pinch
ed for carrying concealed ideas. /
think there is charge of foolish
larceny, too" he added with a
smile.
In a formal statement Murphy,
who is out on bail following his
being sentenced to seven years in
the penitentiary in connection
with a 100000 mail robbery de-
clared he had no knowledge of any
act of violence and appealed to the.
public for fair play and to suspend

Toxic, May 1 (by the Associated
Press. THE eminent services OF
the Japanese delegates to the
Washington conference were ex-
tolled by President Harding in a
cable message read here tonight by
Charles b. Warren, the American
ambassador, who was the principal
speaker at a dinner given by the
Acknowledgements society in honor
OF Prince Tokugawa. Admiral Baron
Kato and Ambassador Shidehara,
the principal delegates to the con-
ference. Secretary of State Hughes
also sent brief cable message of
greeting which was read by Mr..
Warren.
Ambassador Warren, in his adj
dress, said America sought only to
develop her commerce on a basis of
equality. He repeated President
Harding's words in the senate some
time ago in which he said any ma
,tion that attempted to adopt ag-
gressive action against the peoples
who signed the four-power treaty
at Washington would embark on a
hazardous enterprise.
THE pressing insistence OF the
government upon the selfish inter-
ests of their nationals he said,
has not always proved to be the
most beneficial policy. Reasona BILE
nationalism surely ought to COM
prehend that sovereign states
should be friendly equals in the
peaceful rivalry of expanding COM
merce."
The speaker referred to the posi-
bility of misinformation by sections
of the press of all countries In
leading to international misunder-
standing and the frequency with
which men of high station had APP
pealed to racial differences to Sc
cure personal advantage"

On PROJECT At
MUSCLE SHOALS
Engineer Declares South
east Has Many Sites
Which Can Be Developed
It Better Advantage.
INV The Associated Press.)

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE pup
lie has been misled on the muscle
Shoals development, c. c. Adsit, di-
rector and executive engineer OF
the Georgia Railway and Power
company. told the American Society
Of Mechanical Engineers in us
spring meeting here today. The
southeast, Mr.. Adsit said, has many
undeveloped water-power sites
which can be developed on a COM
mercial basis to a much better ad-
vantage than the development at
Muscle Shoals.
"It is distinctly a run-of-riVer
proposition, as no storage is Great
ed by the dam except that required
to control the daily flow Of the
iri"er." continued Mr.. Adsit.
"The greatest fluctuation N any
stream in the southeast probably
occurs in the Tennessee river. The
United States government, in plan
ming a development at Muscle
Shoals, recognized this fact and
contemplated an installation OF
100000 kilowatts, only a portion
of which can be depended upon for
continuous power. According 10
photographs of the river at this
point, the amount of strictly pri-
mary power at Muscle Shoals aver
ages about 100000 horsepower.
land even this figure is based on the
assistance of some steam capacity
which must be maintained.
1T is a source Of considerable
regret to engineers who are famil-
lar with the Tennessee river to read
in the press of the enormous
amount of power allotted to Muscle
Shoals development, usually stated
as 100000 horsepower, and the
consequent misleading of the gen.
eral public on this much discussed
project.
"The development has distinctly
a stream flow characteristic, the
ischarge of the river varying widely
from month to month, and more
markedly from year to year. The
contemplated capacity Of 100000
kilowatts at Muscle Shoals could
he operated under full load only
at widely separated intervals, since
|the river flow does not equal this
amount of power except on an
average of less than thirty consec-
Utive days per year"
Mr.. Adsit sho ed photographs

added:
at can be seen from these hydro
graphs that the statement of 1,000,-
900 horsepower which has ap-
peared in the press repeatedly. is
gross exaggeration of the output
to be expected from a plant in this
location"

Washington, May 1.-THE SEN
ate had another eleven-hour ses-
sion today with the tariff bill but
again made comparatively little
progress. It's most important ac-
ton was the approval S5 to "a,
of a committee amendment pro-
posing to remove ammonium nj
trate from the free list and to
make it dutiable at cent pound.
Four republicans-Borah, Idaho:
Capper. Kansas; La Toilette. Wis
consin, and Norris. Nebraska
voted against the amendment. and
two democrats--Bro Louis
lana, and Kendrick. wyoming
supported it.
Explaining the amendment SEN
ator McCumber. republican. North
Dakota, in charge of the bill, said
ammonium nitrate was one item on
which the committee had 'wob-
bled," proposing first that it be on
the free list. He explained that
this item was regarded as being in
the twilight zone" between the
free list and the protection list
and told the senate that the plac-
ing of a duty on it would make
necessary a compensatory duty on
explosives
After the vote Senator King
democrat, Utah, who led the fight
against the proposal. said he want
ed to congratulate the republicans
of the tariff bloc 'for
standing by the farmers, road
builders and others who use eX-
plosives and dynamite and for
making this present to the trusts"
Senator Frelinghuysen of New
Jersey, republican of the finance
committee, urged the amendment
declaring that the duty was neces-
sary to protect from the German
nitrate trust the nitrate in
dustry built up in this coun-
try durin the war. He added
that the issues would have bear
ing on the Muscle Shoals project.
At the suggestion Of Senator
Simmons. democrat. North Caro-
= lima, the senate deferred action on
ammonimum phosphate and am
moninum sulphate. Senator Sim
mons said consid ration of these
items at this time would open up
the whole fight over free fertilizer
materials and that time would be
saved by postponing action until
the senate reached the potash
schedule with its proposals for
duties on that commodity.
Senator Gooding. republican,
Idaho, chairman of the republican
agricultural-tariff bloc, made his
first address today in the senate on
the pending bill. He attacked the
Underwood Simmons act. praised
the emergency tariff law and de-
clared there never had been a time
in the history Of the country when
we needed protection more than we
do today to safeguard our ports
from importations of chSap foreign
products"
Senator Jones, democrat, New
Mexico, charged that republican
senator's were voting on the items
as the leaders told them to vote
and without information as to
what was in the measure. He said
he did not blame senators on the
republican side who are trying to
Jam this bill through for talking
about a fiibuster," whenever sem
ators sought information.
"This bill will not stand the
test of examination, he declared.
