decorated stage where the class colo =.

profusely used; they wore airy, fr!iy
organdies Of white and the unanimou,
opinion of the vast audience was that
no community in the country is send
ing out prett. ier or finer crowd OF
young folk.

sweet young graduates were the trus-
tees, c. T. Murphy, c. C. Sanders

in the contests this year, furnished
the music
DR.. E. A. Fuller, of Greenwood, de-
livered the principal address and
thrilled his hearers from start to fin
ish; his advice to the young folk Sc
soon to take up the battles of life, was
inspiring and coming as it did from
one who had taught them and won
their admiration and regard, it was
particularly timely. DR.. Fuller was
principal of the high school several
years ago and left this city TO attend
the Baptist Theological Seminary in
Louisville, KY, his place in the hea-t>
of Union people is secure and the w,l-
come which he received last evening

gard he is held by this community.
The diplomas were presented to the
class by the principal, Prof. z. L.
Madden, who paid fine tribute to
the work of the class and expressed

FORD'S OFFER
GETS ATTENTION

sociated Press) "A plan for develop
n1ent of the governments nitrate and
power projects at Muscle Shoals
Ala, was virtually completed today
by the house military committee. In
many respects it conforms to thGi
submitted by Henry Ford, but con-
tains certain notifications of the
Ford proposals which, in the opinion
of some members, makes the scheme
the work Cf the committee.
One important alteration of the
| Ford offer, it was understood e! N
mates the steam power plant at
| Gorgas, Ala, from the projects
enumerated as belonging properly to
the Muscle Shoals group. Whoevc
may ultimately acquire control of tn,
shoals projects, nitrate plants, watai
power sites, including the Wilson
dam, the sub-power stations and 9th
er properties, it was said, would not
have possession of the Gorgas plant.
| Another committee provision would
compel the purchaser or lcsee to
manufacture fertilizer and sell to the
public throughout the period Of the
contract, whether for SO or 100 years.
| The minimum production would he
calculated on 10000 tons of ammoni-
um nitrates, the estimated maximunr
capacity of plant No. 2 per year.
| This was represented as being equiv
alent to 100000 tons of finished fer
tilizers annually.
Chairman Kahn called representa-
| tivcs of the bidders into conference
| today, advised of the committees
plan and requested that they inform
the committee as quickly as possible
whether the details were acceptable
to their principals.
Those invited included spokesmer
for Henry Ford, Thomas w. Martin
president of the Alabama Power com.
pany; Frederic f. Engstrum and Ma
rion Butler, who represented the of
| fer of Mr.. Engstrum, and Charles l..
Parsons.
Three requirements had been ap-
proved by the committee which would
have to be accepted by an purchases
lessee or use of the shoals propertie
before the committee consented tc
advocate the final agreement, it was
said. Also it was explained the COM
| mitfee plan could be accepted by any
indy idual or interest which complied
with the terms fixed upon and was
not subject to acceptance by the bid
ders to the rejection of others who
might come forward with PROPOSE
tions more favorable to the gvern-
ment.
The three essential requirement
were that the properties at Muscle
Shoals should be subject to the alb
solute right and control Of the gov
ernment at all times for the produc-
tion of nitrates or other ammunition
component or munitions Of war and
that nitrate plant No. 2 must be kept
available for such usage.
That the bidders obligate them
selves under strict terms to manufac-
ture and sell fertilizers in time Of
peace to the public.
That the Gorgas steam plant be ex-
cepted from the properties at Muscle
Shoals which should be developed
collectively
The Ford and Engsrum proposals,
it was pointed out, were the only tw,
which provided for development d

DAVIS ATTEMPTS
TO LEAVE PRISON

Jack Davis, one Of the men who fig
ured conspiculOuSly il. the recent mu-
tiny at the penitentiary, was caught
by prison guards early yesterday
morning just as he was about to cs-
cape. Davis had Sawn both the inner
and outer bars from his cell window
and would have been out within an.
ether minute, prison officials believe
had he not been discovered.
Guard White passed the main cell
building at A o'clock and heard noise
from the third tier, where Davis was
located. He investigated and found
all the bars had been sawed into
Other officials We're called in and Da-
Wis was removed to another place
where he is cooling off" The pris-
oner also wore shackles and these
had been removed by means of hack
saws.
Several hack saws were found IN
the cell after close examination
Davis at, first claiming that he had
used spring from his shoe to do the
work. The saws were found in one
the bunk posts. A long knife, q
a. pliers and several other instru-
menSs were round IN the ceIl. '--.-o'---
Davis, when questioned closely by
Capt. Clay c. Roberts, admitted he
had ben working on the Job" fol
| two or three weeks. He offered ar
explanation as to the manner in which
he got the saws, but Captain Roberts
was not satisfied with this eXplana.
tion and is conducting an investiga.
| ton.
Davis had a civilian suit in his cell
and was preparing to leave in this
garb. Two weeks ago when the pris.
orers mutinicd they gave as their eX.
tusc the fact that their civilian clothes
were being removed from the cells.
During the mutiny, when II prison
erS were shot, Davis was hit over t..
head after the riot had been Qucllcd
He abused officers during the riot ant
| afterwards. Prison officials say Davis
is 'tOugh bird" He was sent to the
| lioHl NpuiIlN
having been convicted of robbing tn,
residence of Dr. II. L. Moore, Jr II,
is serving sentence of l years.
In speaking Of the attempt of Davi
to escape, Captain Roberts called at
tention to the desperate class of mcl
in the prison. The shiftlesS, hardcnc,
crooks are hard to handle, Captain
Roberts said, and the penitentiar.
now has large number Of men o
this class. Captain Roberts said tha
the prison guard force was not adc
quate and that more men were need
cd. He is very much in hopes tha
the legislature will provide for addi
tional guards next year. "It's an cas-.
matter to stay on the outside and sa.
what should be done, but its entircl
different to be on the inside handling
400 men, some of them the worS
criminals in the country" he sale
Only recently a search of the priso
cells brought to light a large numbc
Of knives, blackjacks, rocks and 9th
er material not supposed to be in tn
