FORD'S OFFER BEST
 ONE RECEIVED YET
Secretary of War Says His Proposal for Muscle Shoals is Only
 Comprehensive One

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary of War Weeks after a conference today with C. C. Thinker of San Francisco whose construction company has sub mitted an offer for the Muscle Shoals Ala. nitrate and power plant projects stated that the bid made by Henry Ford was the only comprehensive proposition before him which includ ed both the construction of the pro- feet and the manufacture of fertili- zers''
 The secretary said that the proposal made by the San Francisco man and that recently submitted by Frederick E. Engstrum president of the New port Shipbuildng Co. of Wilmington, N C. were mot in competition with the offer of Mir. Ford.
 The Thinker and Engstrum proposi- tions Mr Weeks said, related almost entirely to completion of construction of the Muscle Shoals properties which were one of the governments war un- dertakings and did not provide for the manufacture of fertilizers by pri- vate enterprise. The latter object is held to be e1isfavora ble by government officials who see in the Muscle Shoals plant a source of fertilizing materials for nations farms.
 Army engineers will make study of the Thinker and Engstrum offers.

New Haven Court Gets Down to
 Fine Points Today
DISCHARGED, SAYS COURT
States Chemist Says Liquor Con- taincd .Ot5 Per Cent of Spirits, While Defense Submits Other Proof. Resulting in Acquittal.

New Haven, Jan. 7.-Evidence in q liouor case in city court here got down to a fine point today.
 It has been customary to have seized liquor analysed for the police by certain chemists. Counsel for a man accused of selling liquor asked for a continuance a few days ago that he might have an independent an- alysis of the evidence.
 Chemists Disagree.
 Chemists disagreed in their testi- mony in the case. The police had seized water from sink into which they claimed liquor had been poured. The prosecution's chemist had thought he found .015 per cent of alcohol while the chemist for the defence found so small trace that he thought there was no figure. The former chemist checked up his figures which revealed an error and then gave his analysis at .007.
 Discharged" said the court to the accused.
