FIGHT NOT YET OVER
Hi, Says He Will Yet
Save Plant. for the
People

{ Washingtn, June Henry Ford's
reply to the counter proposal by the
house military affairs committee Tor
the development of Muscle Shoals was
presented today by Mr.. Ford's repre-
sentatives. This reply was made IN
the form of letter to Chairman
Kahn, and definitely rejected the pro-
vision in the committee plan which
eliminated the steam Plant at Gorgas,
Ala, from the properties to be dispos-
ed of by the government with Muscle
Shoals properties. g
eff my revised offer for Gorgas
plant is rejected, then l must under
stnd the acceptance of my offer for
Muscle Shoals as a whole and not in
part is refused" the reply further
stated. eff congress votes for an ac-
ceptance of my offer we will get on
the job at Muscle Shoals at once; but
if congress rejects it that will be but
the beginning of more determined eff
fort on my part to save Muscle Shoals
for the benefit of the public"
The committee was called into exec
utive session to consider the letter q
few minutes after it's receipt.

Indiana Democrats Will
Blame Republicans
for Conditions
LEAGUE Of NATIONS IN
Their Failure to Ratify Is
Largely Responsible,
They Say
tBy Associated Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, June Indiana Dem
ocrats meeting here today in their
state state convention laid the foun-
dation for their fall campaign with a
series of speeches blaming Republi-
can management of national aftalrse
for a business depression that has
caused much unemployment. Speak
ers also attacked the Republican state
administration astspend thrifts.
In the keynote speech, Frederick
VanNuys of this city declared the
failure to ratify the Versailles treaty,
with it's league of nations covenant
was "largely responsible for our pre-
sent economic and industrial Difficult
ties"
ave have heard for year that pros
perity is just around the corner" he
said "The people want some tangl-
BILE evidence of that fact"
The Washington conference, called
by President Harding and out OF
which grew the four power pact and
the naval limitation treaty, was de-
scribed by Mr.. VanNuys as the "sha-
dow of the substance" Of the league
of nations.
Samuel n. Ralston, the party candl-
date for United States senator charg-
ed the Republicans with following a
"blind policy" in the work of recon-
struction since the world war. Busi-
ness depression and unemployment, he
asserted, were the results, and he add
ed the claim that the pending tariff
bill before congress would absolutely
close the doors to foreign markets"
The four power pact was described
by Mr.. Ralston as "a very short step
in the right course" to end war and
| he said he was willing "to see it tried
out as the next best thing" to the
league of nations. He added his
opinion that the league would not be
campaign issue
Miss Esther Kathleen O'Keefe, max,
ing her first speech since winning the
nomination as Indiana's first woman
candidate for congress, said she was
nominated as a citizen, not as a wo'
man, and if elected her official con
duct would be guided by the spirit
that nominated me-" With equal suf
frage, women have new opportunities
she said, to aid education, stop chile
labor, reduce taxes and "say whether
rich ship owners shall be subsidized
with public money while agriculture
goes begging"

With Portuguese
INV AsAOcialed Pressl

Manila, P. l., June 1.-Seventy-
our Chinese were killed and a num-
ber wounded today at Macao in
clash between Chinese strikers and
Portuguese troops, according to ad-
vices from Hong Kong. Admiral Jo-
seph Strauss, commander of the Ash
attic squadron, is without official re-
ports of the disturbance at Macao,
which is the Portuguese concession
at Hong Kong, but said the gunboat
Pampanga and the destroyer Tracy
are in that vicinity ready to protect
American interests if the necessity
arises. He said additional vessels
will not be sent to Macao unless Sc
rious trouble arises.
A cablegram from Hong Kong
says shipping is being delayed there
by a strike of longshoremen for in
creased wages and shorter hours.

DEATH LANDS ALL
Of PARTY IN JAIL
Bloody Affray With Two
Keen-Edged Knives
in Paris
NOVEL DEFENSE OFFERED
Underworld Says Duel
With Knives as Regu-
lar as Swords
CRy Associnted rressl

Paris, June IA duel to the death
over a woman has brought prison
sentences to the victor, Maurice Pin
teaux, an Apache, and the witnesses
of the fight. The court rejected the
defense's plea tina tduelling with
knives in the underworld was quite
as respectable as sword or pistol af-
fairs before top-hatted society lead
.ers. E., ey-
Pinteaux and his seconds" were
sentenced last night to two years
Imprisonment each and the director
of the combat to six months for their
parts in the death of Charles Lalle-
mant, another Apache. Lallemant
was formerly the paramour of Louise
Rather, but PinteauX won her from
him.
The testimony showed that the
duel was conducted according to set
rules. Similar knives, we'll sharp
ened at the scene by the witnesses,
were given to the combatants. Lalle-
mant disregarded the rules. When
he attempted to follow up his ad-
vantage of drawing first blood by
kicking vigorously at Pinteaux's alb
domen, the other Apache closed in on
him, repeatedly stabbing his oppo-
nent until he fell mortally wounded.
The attorneys for the defense aban-
doned their announced plan of sum-
moning persons in the social world
as expects to testify that the duel,
as conducted, was entirely regular.
