 Defeated in House
By Associated Press

>Washington, May 26.-The first round in the House fight to force legislation on the Woodruff-J Johnson resolution for investigation of war frauds and alleged laxity of govern ment prosecutions was lost today by those seeking to bring 1t up.
 Speaker Gillett refused to consider under the head of privilege charges by Representative Johnson. repub- lican, South Dakota, that Chairman Campbell had ignored the order of the rules committee. Mir. Johnson appealed from the ruling. and by a vote of 149 to IA the House sus- tained the speaker by tabling the appeal.
 That ended 1t, and republican lead CTS declared tonight that the resolu- ton would never be called before the House. There were reports that the rules committee had called absent republican members to Washington for the purpose of reconsidering it's action in giving the measure the right of way.

Atlanta, May 26.-Industrially At lAnta and Birmingham are the key points of the southeast, it was de- clared here today by J. F.. Tilford. traffic expert of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, in testifying be- fore the southern class rates hearing
 For that reason, he continued, these two cities have been selected as pivotal points in the new rate struc- ture proposed by the carriers, but he said the proposed readjustment is not based upon present rates from Ohio river crossings to Birmingham and Atlanta, but upon rates prescribed by the interstate commerce commission in the reverse direction. in what is known as inspection and schedule docket number 1261.
 Mir.

 was not based on the sworn com niaint or information of any wit ness.
 Justice Young's decision read:
 The relators appears to have voluntarily consented to all pro- ceedings taken by the coroner and the district attorney, except his re- arrest on the ground of the insult ficiency of the cash bail deposited by him.
 Rcarrest Legal
 Tn my opinion, Mir Justice Seeg- CT has legal right to cause his ar- rest for that purpose. The proprie- ty of the increased bail was not ar gued before me nor was any applics- ton to fix the amount of bail pre- sented to me on the arguments.
 For the reasons Assigned, I think the writ must be dismissed and 1t Is so ordered"
 Ward, wearing blue suit, with a freshly lanndred handkerchief in his breast pocket entered the court room smiling, when the hearing opened. He wore no handcuffs.
 Seating himself at his counsel g table, he appeared unconcerned, sew eral times laughing as he talked with his lawyers.
 1t was believed that there might come out at the hearings details of the blackmail plot but as soon as District Attorney Weeks began re- view of the case, one of Wards att torneys said:
 T don't think this is the time for these details to be presented and sent broadcast by the press. We contend the argument should be con- fined to the record of the case alone"
 Mir. Weeks then told of Wards surrender week after Peters body was found and added that he was admitted to bail upon practically the charge which he made against him. self. He added. that under the pro- ceedings instituted by Coroner Fitz- gerald. filing of sworn information was unnecessary. Indications were that the inquest would be held Mon- day.

 Those invited by MT. Kahn includes: W. B. Mayo and J. ". Worthington. spokesmen for Henry Ford; Thomas w Martin. president of the Ala bama Power company; Frederick E.. Engstrum and Marion Butler, who represented the offer of Mir. Eng strum rendered the committe and Charles l.. Parsons.
 Three requirements had been ap- proved by the committee which have to be accepted by any pur- chaser. lessee or user of the shoals properties before the committee con sented to advocate the final agree ment by Congress, it was said.
 Also it was explained the commit tee plan could be accepted by any individual or interest which compiled with the terms fixed upon and was not subject to acceptance by the bid ders to the rejection of others who might come forward with proposals more favorable to the government.
 The three essential reduire-
 ments were "that the properties
 mt Muscle Shoals should be sub-
 Ject to the absolute right and
 contrpi of the government at all
 times for the production of ni-
 trates or other ammunition com-
 pOnents or munitions of war;

 That the Gorgas steam plant

 at Muscle Shoals and which
 should he developed collectively.
 The Ford and Engstrum proposals, 1t was pointedsout, were the only two which provided for development of all the projects. including power, fer tilizer and nitrates. The Alabama Power company had offered merely to develop the power projects and MT. Parsons proposed to establish a chemical industry.
 Objections to the provision in the Engstrum proposal which would com- plete the power units by cost plus" scheme. it was suggested, left the Ford offer in the shape nearest ac- ceptable to the committee.
 Mir. Martin notified the military committee today In a letter to Chair man Kahn that he disagreed with Attorney General Daugherty's opin- ion holding the contract under which the Gorgas plant was enlarged for the government to be invalid" If necessary. the letter said. the com pany would resist in the courts any attempted disposition of the plant to others than itself and expressed con- fidence that the courts would decide the contract was valid, notwithstand- ing the Attorney Generals opinion
