POWER TRUST OFFER.

MONTGOMERY Ala, Feb. 22.--
Governor Kilby, in statement this
week favored the proposal of Henry
Ford for Muscle Shoals provided the
rights of the State of Alabama are
adequately guarded. He opposed ac-
ceptance of the Alabama Power conn
pany's offer, but suggested that Ford
proposal should be amended as to
release the Gofgas steam plant and
that this plant should be sold BY the
government to the Alabama Power
company.
He wants the state protected in the
matter Of taxation and against mon-
oply.

cerning the manufacture OF fertil-
izer,' the governor said. THAT,
however, while desirable, is not alb
solutely essential. because am satis-
fled that Mr.. Ford will go as far
os any other bidder
Discussing the Alabama Power
company's offer he declared its :.c-
eeptance would mean THE creation in
Alabama Of monopoly 10 gigantic
and 50 powerful that in time to come

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 22.--Conl-

the Roma, the worlds greatest semi
rigid airship and the pride Of the
American air service, today yielded
up her last of its victims. The re-
covery of the last body fixed The toll
Of the disaster at 81 dead, eight in

OF the dead thirty have been identi-
fled
Officers at Langley Field were still
at a loss to account for the mishap
that caused the ships rudder to tilt
and render THE craft unamanageable.
An army board Of investigation
will be organized today.
1t is believed that the ship did not
get out Of control until about 900
feet from the ground
She had just cireled past the army
base, clearing d smokestack, its nose
pointed downward, when the eleva-
tor seemed to jam. Her nose point
ed more sharply toward the earth
and she crashed into the wires, ac-
cording to this version. The rear Of
the bag burst into flames and THE
pilots hurriedly steered for land
ing SO feet away.
AS her nose touched the earth
there was a terrific explosion, shak-
ing her throughout her entire 4l0
feet length She turned over, mass
of flames.
Of the two men. who jumped as
the craft neared the ground, one
struck pile Of scrapiron and was
crushed to death. The other escaped
with minor hurts.
AS in the case OF the fatal ex-
plosion, Of 66e ZR-2 over Hull, Eng,
last August, the airship was one
purchased from a foreign. govern
ment by the United States. The
ZR-2 was purchased by the navy
from Great Britain. The Roma was
sold to the army by Italy.
