SHOALS QUESTION
 DIVIDED IN THREE PARTS

sAA@A1D AAN IAnIS
 Washington, January 14.-The question of disposing of the govern ment's properties at Muscle Shoals, to private interests by lease, purchase or agreement to complete, was divided today into three separate parts.
 Law officers of the war depart ment were directed to begin work of fitting legal phrases to a contract in- volving Secretary Weeks desires with regard to the proposal of Henry Ford which, the war seer etary an nounced, would be submitted to Con gress with comments" as soon as the papers were prepared and MT. Ford's signature affixed
 Although MT. Ford remained in the city during the day, neither he nor his agents, so far as was known, were engaged in work on the Muscle Shoals question. The opinion still prevailed among officials that the contract would not be finally drafted until late next week, and 1t would be matter of about two weeks all together before it was formally sent to Congress for consideration.
 Thinker offer
 The offer proposed by C. C. Thinker of San Francisco was being rushed to that city for modification so as to include provision for the manufac- ture of nitrates after the plants and dams had been completed and were ready for operation.
 Mir. Thinker left Chicago yesterday and was expected to reach San Fran cisco early next week After con- ferences there with officials of the ( fff.t, ,e,f America, of which he Is president, Mir Thinker was expected to return here and formally present his pro- posal to the war secretary.
 Engstrum offer
 As third part, Mir. Frederick Eng strum, president of the Newport Shipbuilding company of Whining ton, N. C., and engineers assisting him, were engaged in a consideration of making slight changes in the of- fer he has already. submitted to MT. Weeks. Those were said to involve the inclusion of more definite pro- vision for nitrate manufacture at Muscle Shoals than had been submit ted.
 Secretary Weeks reiterated today his determination not to announce what Comments" he would make to Congress on the Ford bid before they were given to that body. He also was insistent in referring to the Ford proposal that 1t be under stood that his decision in referring the question to Congress did not and could not imply an acceptance or in corsement of 1t on his part. Mir. Weeks explained that he did not have authority "to accept" the offer, and that existing laws made 1t impossible for the war department to dispose of any real estate over which it had jurisdiction without first obtaining congressional authority.

Pays Tribute

"The association stands for every thing that is good and elevating in the profession, for good fellowship among the lawyers, and for uphold ing the exalted position to which the profession is entitled" said MT. Woodall in this connection. Tt does not confine it's activities to It's mem bers alone, as is evidenced by the fact that when brother lawyer at this bar dies, whether member of the association or not, the association sponsors meeting of the bar, as Is the case today, in his memory.
 Today we are gathered together to honor the memory of four of our de- ceased associates. The purpose of the meeting is threefold: first, that we may show our respect and love for our friends and co-workers now called from us; second. that we may be helped and benefited in considering their many anly virtues; and, third, that the loved ones of our deceased brethren may know that We sympa- thize with them in their great loss and sorrow"
 Copies of resolutions passed will be sent to the members of the de- ceased's families, spread upon the minutes of the bar association, in the instance of Judge Chapman on the minutes of the court and in the in- stance of Judge Hundley sent to the federal court to be spread upon the minutes of that court.

RICHARD FIGURES
ON FAT CLEANUPS
in FALL FIGHTING

NEW YORK, Aug. Five more
big championship fights before the
boys get footballing is the rather siz-
able program now receiving the atten-
tion of Tex Rickard.
Figuring that Johnny Kilbane, feath
erweight champion, can do like Benny
Leonard and battle a couple of times
in two months, Rickard wants to match
I him with Joe Lynch, bantamweight
king, and then send him against Eugene
Criqui, reigning champion of the
weight in Europe.
Benny Leonard is in line for some
more work. Benny needs it as he has
earned only 100000 in the last six
weeks.
Rickard wants the lightweight cham
pion to work on the winner of the
Charley White-Bobby Barrett bout.
| Another international bout is in
prospect between Jimmy Wilde, the
world s champion flyweight, and
Johnny Buff, holder of the American
title Wilde is said to be in recep
tive mood although he has exaggerated
notions about a purse.
| Rickard is going to pull that Demp
|
| He has an idea that the world series
is going to be played in New York
again in October and he likes the date
for second massacre of that series
Willard is baking at early October but
cash may help him change his mind.
Benny Leonard is figuring on going
to Europe with his whole family in the
fall He figures that he can make
some money on the other side as the
British folks have been talking about q
Ted Lewis Leonard fight and they
would also like him to show them how
rotton their champion, Ernie Rice, is.
Rickard is also looking around fol
someone to take fall out of Johnny
Wilson.
The Dundee-Frush fight for the New
York featherweight championship an(
the bout between Harry Wills and Tut
Jackson for the dark heavyweight
crown, are the next big bouts on th'
program

Meusel works in streaks. In spurts

With his indolent grace, Meusel looks

that he gets down as fast as any man
ON the club, his long stride making his
speed deceptive.
"Get out there sometime and try to
