Shoals Inspected By
 Chemists

Birmingham, Ala, April 3. - Eight hundred members of the American Chemical Society gathered here today in annual convention to discuss scien- tific problems and outline a program me intended to coordinate their ac- tivities in research work for 1922. The convention will continue through Wednesday.
 Chemical problems that will be presented by the development of the Muscle Shoals properties in North Alabama and the possibilities of producing nitrates for fertilizer at the great water power plant were the principal subjects up for discus sion today. Statements made sev- eral weeks ago by c. L. Parsons, Government chemist, in testifying before the House Military Affairs Committee that nitrates could not be produced proftably by the cyanimid process at Muscle Shoals were dis cussed pro and con by the delegates.
 A minute inspection of the plant made yesterday by all American members of the party has resulted dn divergent opinions being formed on the subject. The majority of the delegates agree with Thomas A. Edi- son that nitrates can be produced cheaply at Muscle Shoals, while a number of them agree with Parsons that this is impossible, citing the failure Of France, Italy, Canada, Norway and Sweden to produce cheap nitrates by the cyanimid pro- cess.
 In granting permission to the dele gates to visit the plant the War De- partment specified that only mem bers of the society who were bona f1de American citizens and who were not connected with any corporation engaged in the manufacture of nj trates would be permitted to inspect the Muscle Shoals
 On account of this specified lion several members of the party did not accompany other members on the inspection trip.
 Delegates to the convention ar rived today by special train, the ma jority coming from Washington and other Eastern points While en- route to Birmingham the delegates made an inspection trip to the prop critics of the Clinchfeld Portland Ce- ment Company at Kingsport, Tenn

Defeat of Oil Tariff
Hailed by Ship Owners

Action Of the Senate in defeating, by
vote Of 45 to 9, the proposed duty on
fuel oil of 20 cents barrel, is hailed
by the American Steamship Owners
Association as the elimination of a
handicap to the development of mer-
chant marine. In statement issued
yesterday it was said that the tariff
would have been disaster to ship
ping, and would have offset the bene-
fits contemplated by the ship subsidy
bill.
The ship owners sent letters to the
Senate Committee on Commerce and to
individual Senator'S pointing out the
effect of the duty on American vessels
in competition with foreign fleets. The
attention given to this protest, said w.
L. Marvin, vice-president of the asso-
citation, indicates that great majority
of Senators are disposed to deal in an
intelligent and friendly way with the
problems Of the American merchant
marine"

Harvard Student Missing
Disappeared After Departing
From Marthass Vineyard

Patrick T. L. Putnam, eldest son of
Or. c. R. L. Putnam, OF 1s1 East Seven
fieth Street and student at Harvard
University, has been missing since
July II, it was learned yesterday when
DR.. Putnam Investigated a report that
the young man was the victim of an
automobile accident near New Haven.
Conn.
The physician found that the man
killed By the automobile, in which are
said to have been four joy-riding no
licenen from Springfield, Mass, was
not his son. His son set out from
Martha's Vineyard, July IL, with the
intention Of walking from the coast
70 his home in this city. Nothing has
been heard from him since.

X Ships Reacl,
IN. as First of
Big Coal Fleet
IIO, 900 Tons Arrived Last
Week; $50. 900 More Due
in Next Ten Days to Re-
lieve Local Shortage
Large Boston Movemen,
Vanguard of 200 Steamers
Comes 10 Port; Flow TO
Continue for Two Months

Seventeen vessels, carrying 10000
sons Of British coal, had arrived in
the Port of New York up to yesterday
as the vanguard of 200 steamers char
tered by importers to relieve the fuel
shortage here. These ships arrived in
single Gle during the week. Others
will come in more rapidly this week,
bringing upward of 10000 tons. To-
tai shipments already booked for de-
livery are estimated at fully 1,5o0,000
tons. Heavy movements are under
way also to Boston, which has already
received $4,000 tons, and to Phila-
daiphia.
The total Of approximately 215,000
tons OF coal which arrived at the three
ports last week compares with i'm
ports of only $4,000 tons during the
entire montf OF June. In addition to
the shipments to United States ports,
large number of vessels have been
chartered for cargoes of coal to
Canadian cities.
The ships reaching New York last
week were chartered at the beginning
Of the coal rush at rates ranging from
sf.65 to 81 ton The coal, accordingly,
was laid down in the port at cost
OF $3.50 to 1926 ton, comparing with
The prices of domestic fuel of S9.15 to
$I0.50 ton. Much of the coal due
to arrive in the next few weeks repre-
sents freight rates averaging So a
ton and a total cost of 50 to $40 a ton.
These figures give the reason why the
speculation on shipments has, dimin
ished with the settlement of the strike.
1t is apparent that the cost of a large
part of the imported coal will approx
mate the current prices here at the
time of arrival. The chief demand for
shipments arises from public utilities
end other concerns which must have
.upplies and cannot obtain sufficient
uantities at the prevailing prices
The Shipping Board, which has char
tered sixty-eight vessels for the ceal
trade, continues to place boats. The
West Gotonska, $500 deadweight
tons, was fixed Saturday at 10 shillings
for August t-September loading. The
Hegira, 1900 deadweight, and the
Eastern King, 4,924 tons, were reported
previously as chartered at 10 shillings
for September loading.

What Will Harding Do?

From The Tribune's Washimoton Bureau

From The Tribuae's Washington Bureau
w WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Speculat-
ing on the course to be pursued by
President Harding on the Administra-
tion's ship subsidy bill, the National
Merchant Marine Association, in a
statement to-day, said that Congress
continues to slumber so far as legis-
slation to aid the American merchant
marine is concerned"
"The question of the moment is
What will the President do ?" said the
associations statement.
will he press for immediate action
by the House, which has ample time
on it's hand, and for the taking up of
the bill by the Senate as soon as that
body disposes of the bonus? Will he
point out to the party leaders that the
weight of sentiment of the press and
the public is in favor of the bill and
that delay on the measure, while for
eign countries are going ahead with
aid for their shipping, is not only un-
wise, but also to be reckoned with as
an adverse factor at the polls? Will
he resort to the calling of q special
session and force Congress to face the
issue in the open? Will he agree to
adjournment as soon as possible, with
a special session to be held Immediate
~ after election, or will he consent to
a postponement to the December ses-
sion?
E "That he win insist upon policies,
however, that will assure the success
of the plans to aid American shipping
is confidently expected. To allow ac-
tion to be deferred until December is
obviously course beset with danger.
AS compromise between that and i'm
mediate action, there is the suggestion
of an extra session Immediately fol-
lowing election. The three weeks be-
tween then and the beginning of the
December session will be sufficient
period to bring progress on the ship
ping bill to point where its passage
before March 4 next would be prac-
tically assured"
