MEXICAN BLOCKADE
 URGED IN SENATE
By Associated Press

Washington, April 21-Blockade of Mexico and seizure of Mexican ports until American claims for dam ages to life and property in Mexico have been compensated, was advo- cated in the Senate today by Senator King, democrat, Utah, in 8 lengthy address on the Mexican situation.
 Neither the Obrsgon nor any otheR Mexican government should be rscoE- nized, Senator King declared, until guarantees are given for payment of damages for nearly 1000 American men. women and children butchered and murdered" and for property loss es which, he estimated at nearly $500. 900. .000.
 President Harding should set up an International tribunal to fix the amount of rightful damages. the speaker declared, and If Mexico should then refuse to aoceds to payment the United States should then proceed to blockade Mexico and seize her ports and customs reve- nues until satisfaction should be se- cured. The republicans, Senator King said. had freely criticised the Watch full Waiting" Mexican policy of the Wilson administration. but had failed to better conditions.
 T am frank to confess,- said Sem ator King. that MT. Wilson attrib- uted to the Mexican people a degree of mental and moral advancement to which they were not entitled At tho close of his administration there was anarchy, bloodshed and revolution, and during the past year, since the republicans have been in power. the conditions have not improved. Today there is chaos. bolshevism and dtsre- gard of human rights. especially of aliens. in Mexico"

LENROOT ATTACKS INCREASE IN FUND
 FOR WARRIOR LINE
Opposition of Wisconsin Sen ator Unexpected = Harris Fears Project May Be
 Abandoned

500 Davidson Building.
 Washington. April z1.-(speclaL)- Senator Irving Lenroot of wisconsin an inbeterate enemy of southern en- terprises maintained by the assistance of the federal government. took up arms this afternoon in the appropria- tions committee against the proposed Increase in the appropriation agreed to by the House In favor of oommer- eialiEed Warrior river. The appropri- alton of the House amounted to only s3o,ooo, sum which would have been sufficient had the Secretary of War come into possession of an additional $soo,ooo due the government from sale of material. and which. would have been applied to Warrior opera tions.
 But when collection of this amount was deferred. the secretary appealed for sso0.ooo in addition to the Sso.ooo allowed by the House.
 Senator Hsflin. some days ago in- troduced an amendment providing for the increased appropriation. and to- day, Senator Underwood filed with the committee an argument support ing the amendment and the request of the Secretary of War. Until the ac- tivity of Senator Lenroot. this aft ornoon marred the situation 1t was presumed that the increased approp- riation would be afIowed ipsofacto, for Secretary Weeks had formally made the request with the approval of Gen. c. G. Dawes. director of the budget, and had with equal formality stated that unless the increased ap- propriation was granted. 1t would be necessary that the government aban- don the Warrior as a commercial art cry under the supervision of the gov ernment.
 Loss of S3o. 1000 Monthly
 It is understood that Senator Len- root, before the committee today proved by the record that operation on the Warrior was continued at a monthly loss of $30.000. It is under stood tAat he declared that the gov ernment should not be put to such an expense when the benefit was con- fined to the people of single state. He referred to the unfair division of revenue between the railroads and the barge line and the inability of the barge line to secure up river traffic as indications that the service would never be self-sustaining.
 Senator Underwood contended that the project If given fair chance would eventually make good and spoke of the Lenroot points as handi- caps which must and would be re- moved. Secretary Weeks agrees that the project has not been given an opportunity to demonstrats It's real worth. Senator Harris of Georgia. member of the committee and friend of the Warrior, stated tonight m anxiety lest the republicans, bent on retrench- ment would abandon the project. Final action by the committee Will be an event of Monday.

SUBCOMMITTEE ID
 BEGIN PREPARING
 REPORT ON SHOALS
Ford Bid Only One to Be Con- Sidered, Indications Are. Contract Likely to Be
 Greatly Changed
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington bureau, The, Age-herH,lu,
 Washington, April 21.-(Special) A subcommittee of the House com mittee on military affairs named to- day by Representative Julius Kahn, chairman, will immediately begin the preparation of the committee'sreport respecting the several offers which have been made for Muscle Shoals.
 The subcommittee consists of Rep resentatives Green of Vermont, Mill Ter of Washington, Parker of Now Jersey. Quin of Mississippi. and Wright of Georgia. Representatives Green and Parker have never dis played preference for the offer of Henry Ford, Representatives Quin and Wright openly espouse that offer
 Representative Miller. 1t is indi- oated, will continue to view the situa- ton from the viewpoint of the gov ernment, and will insist that in the report the government be adequately protected in tho disposition of its property.
 It Is the general opinion that the subcommittee will confine Its state ment to a treatment of the offer of MT. Ford. The indications are, how ever, that that offer, after the treat ment will bear little resemblance to its original self. The Gorgas steam plant on which the Alabama Power company has an option, and of which Ford would become possessed, will be stricken and the Alabama Power com pany permitted to secure 1t. Further more Ford will be required to pay for lands to be overflowed by the con- struction of Dam No. 8, and to guar antee the manufacture of a finished fertilizer whether at a loss or profit to himself during the lease of the contract.
 Reduce Life of Lease
 There is a sentiment also in favor of reducing from 100 to 50 years the life of the proposed lease in order that Ford, like other citizens, might be made amenable to the water power law of ths land.
 There Is no understanding in Wash ington as to the extent Ford would go in meeting the demands of the sub committee. His agents are extremely reticent. When the report is pre- pared, however, the sub committee will insist that Ford himself report to Washington or send some one authorized to speak with authority. It Is regarded as essential that Ford express an agreement with the terms of the report before 1t Is submitted either to the committee as a whole or the Congress.
 Southern members of the House, who have aggressive1y advocated the Ford offer, but who know nothing of the attitude of the Detroit manufac- ra1narffrp oh a h his bid are hopeful that Gov. Thenaaa E. Kilby of Alabama, who will inter view Ford next week in Detroit will be able to brin gorder out of chaos.
 It is the hope of the sub-commit- tee that Governor Kilby will come to Washington and give it the benefit of his information.
