FORD'SH0NLY
REAL OFFER, IN
VIEW OF WEEKS
Tinker And Engstrum Not Real
Competitors For Muscle
Shoals

WASHINGTON, Jan. Henry
Fords offer for the Muscle Shoals
projects were characterized today by
Secretary Weeks as the "only COM
prehensive proposition before him
which included both construction OF
the project and the manufacture OF
fertilizers" The offers of Frederick
Engstrum, of Wilmington, N. c., and
c. C. Tinker, of San Francisco,
were held to be mot in competition"
with Ford's offer. The plans of these
two, it was explained, related almost
entirely to construction and did not
provide for the manufacture OF fer
tilizer by private enterprise.
Tinker, who is president Of San
Francisco construction company,
conferred today with Secretary
Weeks on the offer of his concern.

ELLAVILLE, Jan T. - ]. w.
Kent, his wife and her unmarried
sister, with the sisters two children
ehree years and three weeks old re-
spectively, are all confined in the
Schley county jail at Ellaville, the
wife under charge of bigamy and
Kent and the sister under statutory
charges, with an additional charge of
theft in removing the property of his
landlord, James Reese, of Americus,
from the farm near Lacrosse on
which they have all been living dur
ing the last years
1t is one of the weirdest stories
ever coming to light ii this section,
and developed only when the wife
had married 0ln McElhaney, a re-
spected young farmer of the com
munity, after the woman's husband
who had passed her off as an unmar-
ried woman, had encouraged the
young mans attentions to her, it is
said, representing her as the sister to
the woman whom he claimed was his
wife.
Kent and the two women came to
this section about a year ago from
Griffin. His wife was Minnie Nc
Cork and the other woman, the moth
er of the children, was her sister,
anne May McCork. They rented rnv
Reese farm and made a crop this
past season. They brought no belong
ings with them and Mr.. Reese pro-
vided them with furniture with which
they kept house. Mr.. McElhaney
became acquainted with Mrs. Kent,
who, according to the information,
was known as Miss Minnie McCork.
Kent encouraged McElhaney's atten-
tions, which became more regular,
until shortly before Christmas Me-
Elhaney, wishing to have everything
done properly, asked Kent for his
consent to their marriage. 1t was
then that Kent reversed his attitude,
it was said, and informed McElhaney
that he could not marry the woman.
He offered no explanation, however,
as to why, and on December 81 he
and the woman eloped to nearby
official and we're married.
On their return, Kent called Mr..

From snow-covered Boston comes a
message from Fred R. Buffers, who
with Mrs. Buffers visited Americus

climate, luxuriance of the vegetation
and the cordiality of the residents.
So we'll pleased were they both with

Mr.. Buffers writes in his letter, Il

Mrs. Buffers, in October, and we liked
the place so well that after our re-
turn home l bought the home own

to one side and informed
him that he had married the woman
who was really his wife, and for that
reason he had warned him in advance
he could not marry her.
Mr.. McElhaney at first could not
believe Kent, but wanted to make
sure, and called the ordinary at Grif-
fin by telephone. He received the
information that the records showed
Kent and Minnie McCork had been
legally married in that county in
1918.
The news soon got out, and while
the bridegroom, who had courted
and married the woman in good faith
nursed his wrath, neighbors formed
a vigilance committee and informed
the Kent tribe that they would be
expected to disappear within limit
ed space Of time.
About the time they prepared to
leave Mr.. lleElhaney decided to take
warrants for the trio and they were
gone when Sheriff Battle arrived.
ABOUT this time Mr.. Reese also turn
ed up and found his furniture miss
ing from the house, and he, too, took
a warrant. The trio were located
near Oglethorpe on their way north
ward and brought back to Ellaville
where commitment trial is awaited.
In the meantime the two babies
in Jail are the object of much con-
cern of the good ladies of the town
who are discussing what they can
do to keep them from suffering. The
whole affair has created more inter-
est than anything that has occurred
in this section in years.
REES SAYS KENT
HAD HIM FOOLED.
James Rees was reticent to discuss
the Kent case today. He said he had
taken warrant for Kent for carry
ing away his property, but that it
had been secured and the warrant
was never served. He said Kent had
him fooled completely: that the ten
ant had made a good crop and he
had advanced him money and credit.
He declared he could put him on ths
chain gang for cheating and swindl-
ing, but that he didn't care to do it.
