missioner Roy A. Haynes in his
comment on the figures. ''This is
being corrected by the appointment
of sympathetic officials and the
serving of notices on foreign coun.
tries that their flags are being used
to protect smugglers."

FORD THREATENS
To WITHDRAW BID
ONMUSCEE SHOALS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--Henry
Ford here Saturday struck back
vigorously at the forces which have
been seeking to prevent his acquisi-'
ton Of the great Muscle Shoals nj
tract 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 over
board his offer for the Muscle
Shoals plant if final settlement on
the matter were delayed much long
er by irrelevant questions" and by
government agents "puttering
around.
"After six months of consideration
Of our offer, Secretary Of War
Weeks is still asking, what appear
to me as irrevelant questions, and
delaying final settlement of this
| matter" said Mr.. Ford.
eve didn't want Muscle Shoals
for selfish purposes in the first
place. Hanged if we care very mich
whether or not we get it now."N
The automobile manufacturer
snapped out the words.
''We didn't make the government
a selfish business proposition-it
was an industrial philanthropy
which we offered-an offer based
on desire for great public serv-
ice," he continued.
''And you can just sa. that every
time Secretary of War Weeks gets
us down here again to settle irrele-
want points in this proposition, he'll
get worse bargain. This is not a
political matter to be jockied and
Id oh Il -
take it or leave it, yes or no, as he
would in a private business mat
ter?"
Propaganda Charged
Mr.. Ford, then charged that the
interests opposed to him have del
uged congress with lies and mis-
representations on his proposition,
and announced his intention to force
them to1prove their. statements be-
fore committees of congress-. He
was bitter in his attack on govern
ment red tape and waste, declar-
ing that he was offering the gov
eminent more salvage on Muscle
Shoals than it has obtained from
any other of it's war plants.
THE fertilizer trust, the power
and chemical interests of Wall
street, the money brokers and every
other interest that fears to have
Muscle Shoals developed along lines
that will serve all the people most,
instead of serving the big. selfish
interests of Wall street, are delug-
t ing congress with literature that
grossly misrepresentl the facts" he
continued.
"You know I used to wonder a
few weeks ago why the dickens 1
was bidding for Muscle Shoals. We
have never needed Muscle Shoals
always got along fine without it.
| We finally did bid because, as we
saw it, it gave US an opportunity 70

notorious gunman and alleged self
confessed murderer, is said to have
told the Detroit police Saturday. ii.
Introduction of a woman's name
into the jewelry robbery in Atlanta
on December 10, an interesting re-
ticence on the part of the prisoner
and the alleged confession to an
other Atlanta diamond theft marked
the developments OF the DuPree
case in Detroit central police sta

Dupree was arrested here Friday
by two detectives on a fugitive

Atlanta for the murder OF /. Z.
Walker, Pinkerton detective. who
was killed December Is, while at
tempting to stop DuPree from leav-
ing Kaiser's jewelry store with a
sdiamdnd ring valued at $780,
In marked contrast to the free adj
mission alleged to have been made
by DuPree, Friday. were the surly
tone and guarded answers after a
night of solitary confinement in a
Jail cell. He is said to have refused
to repeat his confession before the
detective chief and a secretary for

This revised and assuaged rendi-
ton of Fridays alleged confession
was the statement the police, say
they ELECTED from DuPree Saturday
afternoon.
He is said to have admitted taking
two rings from the Davis & Free

pawning them for $400. Efforts to
connect him with the shooting of c..
B. Crawford, negro, on the night of
of December 8, failed, as he told the
that affair.
Atlanta Will Get Him
Atlanta will get DuPree if there
is any controversy with Chattanoo-
ga. They sent out the circulars Of
fering the reward for the, apprehen-
sion of DuPree and the crime, Of
murder takes precedence over other
offenses,'' policeA authorities said
here tonight, in view of the fact that
wires from Chattanooga announcing
the departure of special officer to

simultaneously with the similar mes
sage from Atlanta.
Atlanta detectives were expected
to arrive here Sunday and prepare
