possible, suit by the federal govern
ment against the state Of Minnesota
for the return Of more than 100000
acres OF so-called swamp lands, Attor.

sistants appeared before the acting
secretary OF the interior to present
the states position.
Under grant made March IL, 1850,
approximately 100000 acres Of swamp
lands belonging to the Indians were
coded to the state. Nearly 100000
acres OF these lands have been pa.
tented and opened for settlement by
the state. The Indian bureau now
claims that much Of this land should
not by right have gone to the state
Of Minnesota. The big question ID a
TO what was properly swamp land.
The state OF Minnesota claims that
the grant to the state Is legal without
any question. But the states legal
authorities desire to avoid any suit n
possible.

and G. A. Christopherson, assistant at
torney general. argued the states case
before Edward c. Finey. acting sec
ertary Of the interior. II will be uT

Ford Threatens
To Withdraw Bid
If Delay Goes On
Accuses Weeks of Irrevelant Cues.
tions-Scores Fertilizer, Power
and Chemical Interests For
Opposition

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is Henry
Ford here Saturday struck back
vigorously at the forces which have
been seeking to prevent his acquisi,
ton OF the great Mussef Shoals nj
trate project.
Attacking the fertilizer trust,
the power and chemical interests Of
Wall Street and Secretary of War
Weeks, Mr.. Ford left an implied
threat that he would throw overheard
his offer for the Mussel Shoals plant
if a final settlement on the matter
were delayed much longer by "irrel-
evant questions and by government
agents "puttering around"
after six months of consideration
OF our offer, Secretary Weeks is still
asking, what appears to me as irrev-
Giant questions, and delaying final set
Element of this matter, said Mr.. Ford
ave didn't want Mussel Shoals for
selfish purposes in the first place.
Hanged if we care very much whether
or not we get it now"
The automobile manufacturer snap
ped out the words.
We didn't make the government a
selfish business proposition-it was an
industrial philanthropy which we Of
fered--an offer based on a desire for
great public service" he continued.
And you can just say that every
time Secretary of War Weeks gets
us down here AGAIN to settle irrelevant
points in this proposition he'll get a
worse bargain. This is not a political
matter to be jockled and juggled
about. Why doesn't he take it or leave
it, yes or no, as he would in private
business natter"
Propaganda Charged
Mr.. Ford then charged that the in
terests opposed to him have deluged
congress with lies and misrepresenta-
tons on his proposition, and announc-
ed his intention to force them to prove
their statements before committees of
congress. He was bitter in his at
tack on government red tape and
waste, declaring that he was offering
the government more salvage on Mus
sci Shoals than it has obtained from
any other of its war plants.
The fertilizer trust, the power and
chemical interests of Wall street the

est that fears to have Mussel Shoals

negotiations participated in by rail-
road officials and Union representa-
tives in districts where work was per.
formed during all the period prior to
the war. Further, it was said, that
the method of recouciling differences
prior to appealing to the Labor Board
had been specifically contemplated
by the transportation act sections
creating the board
Mr.. Hoover stated that the confer
encc today did not discuss wages or
working agreemenes in themselves and
added that he considered the railroad
labor situation as entirely disconnect-
cd from negotiations, over coal min
ing wages, which he has tentatively
embarked upon as representatives OF
the administration.
Railroads have formally given no.
tice to the railroad labor board and
the organizations Of their employees
that they will ask general reductions
in existing wage scales, but the pro-
cecdings so instituted have not. yet
been brought TO trial 1t is antici-
pated that new wage scale agreements
if reached by negotiations between
the train service men an the roads
in the regional conferences either for
a part of the United States or for the
entire country, will be substituted for
any decisions which might be reached
through the formal proceedings. APP
peal to the board would only be taken
III such matters as were not decided at
the conference.

he had some sort OF hazy recollection
OF some shooting, but could not re-
member who was doing it.
However, he declares that his con-
slant reading OF every line he could
get hold Of in reference to the crime
had finally fixed in his own mind the
fact that he did the shooting. and for
that reason he told the detectives here
that he had committed the crime.
! May Plead Insanity
It-is very evid mt to Detroit police
Officials that this hedging is part of a
plan OF Dupree's to lay predicate for
a plea OF insanity when he faces the
court in Atlanta.
In everything else .Dupree talked
guardedly, When detectives pressed
him for his reason for committing the
robbery, he declared that he had been
pressed to do SO unwittingly on her
part, by Betty Andrews He maintains
that the girl knew nothing of his GRIM
inal career, but had been insistent that
he provide her with more money, and
for that reason he determined to rob
the Kiser store.
He unhesitatingly admitted the theft
of two rings from Davis & Freeman,
Atlanta jewelers., and declares he
pawned them in Atlanta prior to the
murder. He emphatical1y denied again
that he had any Atlanta accomplices.
When the Atlanta detectives arrive
they will be given immediate possession
of the prisoner by the Detroit author
tiles, despite reported efforts of the
Chattanooga police to obtain custody
of the bandit The Detroit authorities
have already ruled that Atlanta has a
prior claim on Dupree~

Bandit Hedges
On Murder Story
Claims that All Incidents That Hap
pened After He Seized Diamond
Are Now Blank to Him

DETROIT, Mich. Jan. IS With
detectives hurrying to take Frank B.
Duprce back to Atlanta to face speedy
trial on charge of murder with the
death penalty seeming hardly short
of certainty, the Peachtree Bandit to-
night suddenly hedged on the full and
complete confession of the Staying of
Detective Irby C. Walker, and the
wounding of City Comptroller Graham
West.
He now declares that all the Incl
dents that happened after he seized
the diamond in Kiser's jewelry store
are 4 blank to him, that if he shot
anybody, he doesn't recall it and that
memory of his deed is blotted out by
the moonshine whisky which he had
consumed to fortify his courage for
his bold attempt at robbery.
Reasons for Shooting West
Five detectives, however, heard him
declare without conditions that he
killed Walker. The letter freely admits
that he wrote to The Constitution de-
scribes his reasons for shooting Com
troller West. Dupree's only explana-
ton of these facts is that he had read
SO much of the deed that he had con-
vinced himself that he must have done
it, but that he has no personal rec
objection of firing a shot
The detectives who kept him under
surveillance of the closest kind, noted
that Dupree was more reticent when
he spoke after a good nights sleep.
AS soon as they began questioning
him he began hedging. His story is
now that after determining to attempt
the robbery, he drank heavily. He
recalls wildly entering the jewelry
pricing tn ering and finally snatching
it from the counter. Then he says ev-
ervthing went blank.
Pressed by the detectives, he said
