 S. A. LYNNE ADDRESSES M0NTEVALLO STUDENTS

Montevallo February 23.-(Spe- cial. .)-'The fundamental reason why a state should support colleges is because of the value from the point of view of the state as whole of having educated citizens" said s. A. Lynn of Decatur, speaker of the house of representatives, in an ad- dress at Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women on the night of washington's birthday anniver- sary.
 MT. Lynne said he expects to pre- sent the same ideas in a speech to the legislature.
 "A state needs experts in law. pub lie health, banking, mining, and home building, and Alabama can pro- duce them by developing, through the state, institutions to the full power of perfection" , A"The highest duty of a legislature is to furnish the best opportunities for an education to it's youth" he declared. 'Education is a commodity for which no people ever paid too much. The most expensive thing to any state is ignorance"
 ''Courage, industry and patience the three graces, are greater thai genius" he said. One of his conclud- ing statements was that the state which does pay sufficient attention to education will rise as surely as the sun rises above the mountains.

 Hearings Begin Next Week
 Under the program decided upon by the committee in executive session today hearings will he initiated next week on the power company's offer. The exact time, Mir Kahn explained, depended upon the length of argu- ments to be made by the company s attorneys and the statements to be made by Mir. Mayo. He estimated, however, that these would be dis posed of by the middle of next week.
 Meanwhile the committee will sus- pend work of drafting a report for the House on the Ford offer and wait until hearings on all proposals Sec retary Weeks might send to Congress on Muscle Shoals are concluded. At that time it was suggested, the com mittee would prepare a joint resolu- ton for the House dealing collec- lively, with the merits of the va rious proposals instead of passing on them separately from time to time as the investigation of each offer might be concluded.

 The remainder of the night was passed at the Venice hop joint" as. Fields described it, and the following day Wong Lee and Fields departed for the east by way of Seattle.
 Fields said he did not know what became of Jennie Moore and Johnnie Clark. Fields was subsequently, ar rested in Detroit to meet another charge.
 Upon receipt of the Fields state ment officers were sent to the vicin- ity of Taylor's apartments to search for the revolver Wong Lee was said to have thrown under something, and another group went to China town. hunting information about the Chinese.
 At the same time the police or Venice were conducting a search for the hop joint" mentioned by Fields. Officers seeking the revolver found themselves hampered by the icy-cov- cred hedges near the Taylor apart ments, but they finally satisfied themselves that no weapon was con cealed in the vicinity.
 Venice officials declared them selves unable to find the hop joint mentioned by Fields. The original declarations as reported here that he had received s900 to drive the party to the Taylor home and that to get the money. members of the party changed a S1.000 bill at a Los Angeles bank, seemed easy of verification, if true, officers stated. but when the revised statement brought the asser- tion that the bill changed was one for s100 instead of s1,000, the officers said they began to suspect the ac- curacy of Fields "confession."

People of State Aroused aSI Never Before, President of Sheffield Commerce Body Declares

Montgomery February 23.-(spe- ciaD-Declaring that "the people of Alabama are aroused as never be- fore" Frank N Julian, president of the Sheffield Chamber of Commerea, publisher of the Sheffield Standard and former president of the Alabama Press association, issued a statement today in which he said the statewide mass meeting which will be held in Montgomery next Wednesday after noon at 2;30 o'clock in the interest of the development of Muscle Shoals by Henry Ford will be the most important gathering in the history of industrial development of .he state"
 It became known during the after noon that telegrams had been sent to every county official in Alabama re- ques6ng full representation of all counties. that the farm bureaus have been invited to send representatives and that chambers of commerce who nave taken an. interest in the cam paign for the acceptance of Mir. Ford's proposal have been advised of the mass meeting.
 Mir. Julian said 1t was regretted that any suggestion had been made that the state engage in industry after the experience of the federal government during the war. He said t would not be possible for the state to take over the Muscle Shoals de- velopment and do the things propos- cd by Henry Ford without a bond issue of S100,000, 900 or more.
 Tax Exemptions
 Referring to exemptions from tax ation. MT. Julian said the water power developments and nitrate plants had been exempted for ten years, but there is no exemption on other industries which Mir. Ford pro poses to establish, such as plants for the manufacture Of fertilizer, for the manufacture of aluminium parts. au- tomobile parts, tractor parts, cotton cloth and numerous other necessary products.
 Mir. Julian also defended the pro posal of MT. Ford to manufacture fer tilizer and said he proposes to put out the finished fertilizer and sell it direct to the consumer. He stated that the output of nitrate plant No 2 will furnish sufficient nitrates for as much finished fertilizer as now comes from Chilean imports. He pointed out that analyses of Chilean nitrates show that the important product runs 14 per cent pure nitro gen, and that only a small per cent of pure nitrogen is used in finished fertilizer.
 "The total importation of Chilean nitrate is approximately 30o,ooo tons

per annum, which runs only 14 per cent nitrogen. continued MT. Ju- lian. "The present capacity of plant No, 2 (Muscle Shoals) is 115,000 tons nitrate which runs 36 per cent pure nitrogen. It is an easy calculation to see that with the present capacity of plant two that enough pure nitro gen is available to supply the pres ent output. approximately of finish ed fertilizers used in the United States In other words, 115.o00 tons of nitrates manufactured at plant two is sufficient to make IS much finish ed fertilizer as is the entire Chilean nitrate import annually
