WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Feb. 3.-Henry tords
latest offer to lease all Of the Muscle
Shoals power and nitrate plants OF
the government and transmitted TO
Congress by Secretary Of War Weeks
without recommendation whether or
not it should be accepted, has not
settled this long standing controver,
sv between the War Department and
the manufactures of '.flivyers." As a
matter of fact, by inference at least
both Secretary Weeks and MAJOR
General Beach of the Engineer Corps
attack the Ford proposal as being
disadvantageous to the government.
They say he is bidding S5,000,O0O for
nitrate and steam plants and a quar-
rv that could be sold for l6,O00,OO0
that his amortization payment is toe
low on the two dams; that the lease
project is twice too long and that he:
instead of the government, should
pay the expense of obtaining flowage
and property rights for dam No. 3;
Ford's proposal for annual rental OF
he dams is regarded as fair as his
proposal to turn the plants over TO
the government in case of war.
This information is given the read
ers of the Gazette because Henry
Ford declares the other day that with
acceptance of his proposal to take
over the Muscle Shoals, everybody IN
the South, no wilde, would be given a
Job.

VIRGINIA NEWS
PARAGRAPHED

Norfolk-Any man who is able to
carry pint of whiskey around in his
pocket is too wealthy to be asking
for financial aid, is the opinion OF
Police Justice Simmons. And Howard
Crowley knows it. Crowley was ar
rested yesterday by Patrolmen Sheets
and Tillett. He was caught asking
for money and was seen to accept a
nickel from a pedestrian. At head
quarters where the charge of beg
ging on the streets was placed
against him, Crowley was also search
ed. A pint of whiskey was found in
his overcoat pocket. Crowley did not
deny today he had the whisky, but he
told the court he didn't put it in his
pocket. He said he was standing
near two young men who had bought
it and that when they had taken a
drink each slipped it in his pocket.

Representative Burton +. Sweet OF
the Third Iowa District will likely be
appointed to succeed Senator William

in touch with political situation in
that state.

in 1919 after having served a years
on the Iowa state committee. Prior
to that time he was lawyer prac>

service in Congress Mr.. Sweet was
one of the most enthusiastic advo-
Gates and continually fought for and
voted for war legislation despite a
distinctly anti-war trend among some
of his colleagues from his state al
that time. He was the author OF the
law creating the veterans bureau

1t is expected that criminal prose
cutions will be demanded by the
United States Senate against persons
responsible for the construction OF
the Knickerbocker Theatre which col
lapsed Saturday night killing sc resi-
dents of the National Capital and in
juring over 100, one of whom has
since died.
Senator Capper, of Kansas, VINO
has taken a vital interest in the mat
ter, is quoted as saying that "rotten
engineering, designing and construc-
ton of the Knickerbocker Theater
negligent in nature were responsible
for the collapse Of the roof Of the
structure. The opinion of Senator
Capper is shared by disinterest engi-
neers and others who have looked
over parts Of the material of which
the building was constructed.
