SINCERE SORROW
OVER DEATH OF
A. J. HOLWORTHY
Funeral At 4 O'Clock This After
noon At All Saints Church
Body Forwarded Tonight

While not unexpected, the news of
the death of Alfred J. Holworthy on
Tuesday afternoon was received with
genuine sorrow throughout the city
and in Polk county where he was so
widely and favorably known. The Sc
rious illness of the deceased last sum-
mer in Waynesville followed a nerv-
Gus breakdown, due to over-work, but
it was hoped that with the return to
Lakeland late in the autumn there
would be marked improvement. That
did occur for time but the under
mining of his powers of resistance
brought about a gradual weakening
of the system and for the last two
weeks his condition had been criti-
cal. But as indicating his determine
tion to overcome his illness he persist
ed in spending several hours each
day at his place of business, the Of
flee of Hetherington & Holworthy,
and gave up his trips down town only
under compulsion of physical weak
ness. Loving hands and the best med
ical skill ministered to his needs.
The body was taken to All Saints
Episcopal church. of which he was
such a devoted member, where hun
dreds who knew him and loved him
passed the bier throughout today and
up to the hour of the funeral at 4
o'clock this afternoon. His former
rector. and intimate friend, Rev. w.
B. Curtis, now of st. Johns church,
Tampa, came over this afternoon TO
officiate, Mr.. Curtis being assisted by
Rev. Louis A. Arthur of Grand Island,
Nebraska, acting rector of All Saints
and by Rev. James H. Davet, rector
of the church at Barlow where the
deceased so often rendered valuable
service.
1t has been decided to have the in
terment at the former home of Mr..
and Mrs. Holworthy in Corpus Christi,
Texas, and, accordingly the bereaved
widow and little son Alfred will leave
at II O'Clock tonight over the Allan
tic Coast Line for Jacksonville, there
to make connection tomorrow morn
ing for New Orleans and Texas, where
Mrs. Holworthy will reside. They will
be accompanied by Mrs. Holworthy's
mother and aunt, Mrs. e. T. Merri.
man, and Mrs. Jessie Clark, Of Corpus
Christi, who have been with her dur.

Impossible For Congress To
Accept Ford Offer, Says Dent.

Wa shington, March Herbert Dent,
general counsel for the Alabama
Power Company and former member
Of Congress from Alabama replied to-
day to arguments made before the
House military committee yesterday
hv Representative Oliver, Democrat.
Alabama, derouncing the contract he
tween the Power Company and tn"
war depart tment for construction OF
the Warrior steam plant as a power
unit of the MIssel Shoals, Alabama,
war time nitrate projects.
Mr. divers contention that the
contract was unjust. unfair and un-
reasonable" was met by Mr.. Dent
with contradictory statements. He
said Mr.. Oliver had announced some
startling propositions of law" which
could not lie supported in law.
The option giving the company eX-
elusive right to purchase the plant
from the government as set forth in
the contract was subject for the
courts to deal with, Mr.. Dent said,
and Congress had no authority to bind
the court as Mr.. Oliver had said. He
also informed the committee that the
ordinance OF bureau officials had
properly signed the contract and Of
fered to produce witnesses to "show
conclusively that the secretary of war
had delegated authority to the ordi.
nance officers to act as contracting
officers" for that part of the war de-
partment.
1.-The only way in the world for the
government to get possession of the
Warrior plant would be for Congress
to pass an act of condemnation" Mr..
Dent said. then the question would
so to the courts. We would be the
defendants ard protest against the
condemnation of private lands on the
ground that it was not required for
the public needs.
Mr.. Dent said flatly that the Power
Company would oppose any attempt
by the government which had for it's
purpose the cinfiscation of private
property on the excuse it was neces-
sary for the public service when it
was actually proposed to lease it to
another private industry
Mr.. Ford's offer for purchase and
lease of the Mussel Shoals project
could never be accepted by Congress,
Mr.. Dent said, as long as it involved
delivery of clear titles to him on the
Fart of the government for the War
rior plant and transmission lines.
The committee decided today to
complete investigation of the Power
Companys proposal for lease and pur-
chase of the Mussel Shoals power pro
.ects before rehearing Mr.. w. B.
Mayo, chief engineer for Mr.. Ford.
Mr. Mayo had been expected to re.
turn today from Detroit to give the
committee a number of alterations
Mr.. Ford has agreed to make in his
offer for the Mussel Shoals properties.
" ord was received by Chairman
Kahn that Mr. Mayo had been delay
cd by illness but would be in Wash
ington tomorrow if possible and ap.
pear before the committee at its con
venience.
