LONG DELAY IS

most eXpiditious " con-
gress. members of dse mill
tary committee attenon- hearings
on the Ford offer believed that
such a delay was apparently in
eSCapable.
Questions were raised at the
hearing today by committeeman
which, some with experience in
legal matters thought, would nee
essarily have to be solved by the
courts, irrespective Of congress
sional action, unless the Ford Of
fer was rejected. These involved
the delay Of clear titles to Mr.. Ford
of government owned properties,
connected with the Muscle Shoals
project but which are located on
lands privately owned, and whose
owners claim they have legal OPP
tions for the purchase of the build
ing which they intend to exercise.
Some committee members, after
hearing the testimony Of Col. John
Hull, acting judge advocate gem
eral of the army. thought that the
government would be compelled to
institute condemnation proceed
ings before it could obtain the nee
essary titles to the lands for Mr..
Ford and in doing this meet the
owners who would perhaps test
their rights in the courts.
Colonel Hull said it was his opin-
ion that the contractual obllga-
tions were mon enforceable" and
null and void" and could not be
successfully presented either by
the Alabama Power company rep
resentatives or officials of the air
nitrates corporation. both of whom
claim optional privileges and have
informed Secretary Weeks that
they intend to exercise them before
the Muscle Shoals properties are
disposed OF to private concerns.

'any elsewhere, so far as newspaper
men were able to learn. He and
the deputy attorneys working with
him spent the day in conferences
with police detectives, deputy sher-
ifs and other officers working on
the case.
Asked whether he intended to
interview Miss Mabel NOrmand,
who was a visitor at Taylor's home
just before he was shot and killed,
and whose statements had been
taken by various agencies, Mr..
Woolwine said he did not care to
announce his plans. lie said that
the fact that any known witness

viewed was not to be taken as evil
dence that their connection with
the case was ended, but declined
any further comment on that line.
The investigation today was
shrouded with more secrecy than
has existed heretofore. Detectives
and officers came and went, tele-
phones buzzed and there was an
air of great activity but little word
of what transpired was permitted
to escape.

YELLOW FEVER is ON
THE WANE IN MEXICO

Mexico City, Feb. 10.-Encourag-
ing reports to the effect that yellow
fever is on the wane in Mexico were
recently given out by the national
board of health.
In 1921 there were 115 cases with
fifty-three deaths, compared with
sos cases and 249 deaths in 1920.
The majority of the cases were re-
ported in the states of Vera Cruz
end Sinaloa, widely separated re-
gions.
The good showing for the past
year is ascribed by the board to the
co-oneration it is receiving from the
physicians of the republic in stamp
ing out the disease.
