FARM FEDERATION
BACKS FORD OFFER
Tells Senator Mckinley He
Can't Divorce His Mind From
Public Utilities.
ATTACKS HIS PROPOSAL
Charges His Muscle Shoals
Plan Would Only Be Of Ben
eft to Financial Interests

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.--Opposition by
Senator Mckinley (Rep., I'D to Henry
Ford's offer for the development of the
Muscle Shoals Federal power project
was declared to-day by Gray Silver
Washington representative Of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation. to be
founded on "a lifelong association" with
the development of public utilities, from
which he had been unable to divorce his
mind. Mr.. Sflvers statement was con-
tanned In letter to the Senator in reply
to the latter's expression on the Muscle
shoals question made public last month.
Mr.. Silver informed the Senator that
the federation proposed development of
the properties to supply power at the
lowest possible cost and favored a pro-
gram that would result directly or in
directly In benefits to the entire people.
Inc statements made by the Senator, the
letter added, did not indicate that his
policies would produce such results.
senator Mckinley's plan of selling the
power at the dam would mean unques-
tlonably that 1t would be turned over to
the Alabama Power Company, the letter
asserted. and added that such an ar
rangement would not be helpful to any
BODY except the distributing company
and the financial interests who would
make enormous profits on this basis"
The letter advanced the argument also
tnat II the Mckinley proposals were
carried out no fertilizer would be manu-
factured because Of the high price Of the
power
Several statements by the Senator as
10 the meaning OF sections of the Ford
oIIer were denied by Mr.. Silver's letter.
Regarding the fertilizer production,
Mr Silver's letter asserted that the Ford
guarantee was absolute" and was not
dependent on the profit Of s per cent.
to which he would be limited The letter
cited the testimony Of representatives
or the Observation-Disclosures of the
army to the effect that, regardless OF the
profit or loss. Mr.. Ford would be bound
under his offer to manufacture fertilizer
and further that the guaranty bound
Tor 100 years his heirs and successors in
the corporation which he proposed to
form to carry out the contract.

1t certainly was we'll conducted set

petition the Nationals have had in a
number of years. Also new record
of attendance was established both for
the junior events as well as the seniors.
The Newark A. c. is a welcome new

could hardly expect TO come through
as factor in the scoring so soon and
the few points they did score should be
a big encouragement to them.
A new large club in the metropolitan
district has been needed for years. The
New York A. G. has not enjoyed win

they have since the Irish-American
A. c. went out of the sporting world. 1t
has never been much pleasure to win
without any real competition. and 1t
has not made for future development

When the national championship
games close tonight the Newark A. G..
will have gained the praise and appre-
citation of track and field fandom for
the fine work they did in this meeting.

Preparations for a crowd of more
than 5000 spectators at the Monty
Waterbury cup polo tournament at

for tickets that the committee has been
forced to erect a stand on the east side
of the field in addition to the big stand
on the west side. on which the finish
ing touches are now being put.
While the matches do not begin until

recapture the cup. The Polo Associa-
ton has agreed to take the stand over

MATTHEWS INSISTS
HE Is A CHAMPION
This Despite Denials by the
Boxing Officials of Euro
pean Countries.
ny CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

II Billy Matthews. an English feather
ise as persistent in the ring as he Is In
claiming titles he should achieve fair
measure of success. Matthews, who has
been matched to box Billy De Foe, made
his first public appearance in the ring of
the New York Velodrome previous to the
Dundee Martin contest. On that occa-
sion he was introduced as the feather
weight champion OF Great Britain. The
announcement was permitted by Deputy
Boxing Commissioner on Matthews's as
sertion that he held the title. However,
Matthews was not satisfied with being
acclaimed the champion of Great Britain.
He stoutly insisted he was the feather
weight champion of Europe. despite the
fact that the International Boxing Union,
which controls the sport in Europe. has
officially declared Eugene Criqui of
France holds the European title Of the
featherweight class.
Criqui. by the way, knocked out Ar
thur Wyns. the Belgian. who formerly
held the European championship of the
featherweight class. last Saturday night
for the second time. 1t was when Criqui
stopped Wyns the first time that the In
ternational Boxing Union declared Criqui
to be the holder of the featherweight
not acknowledge the authority of the In
ternational Boxing Union. and declares
he and not Criuui is the real champion.
Regarding the English featherweight
title. Matthews also appears to he in
error. The British Board OF Boxing
Control on August IS issued an official
list of title holders of that country. The
featherweight champion was not Billy
Matthews. but Joe FOX.
Matthews is matched to box Billy De
Foe at the Greensboro s. c. next Satur-
day night, and the club management has
conferred the title OF fcatherweight
champion of Europe on Matthews. The
Greensboro club also declares that libby
Watson IS the featherweight champion OF
Australia. a title TO which he has no
claim at all.
! 1t is high time that foreign boxers who
come here with championship claims
should be made to furnish more convinc-
ing evidence than their unsupported
word.
The bouts tonight at the New York
velodrome promise to interest large
In this city. No titles are at stake and
no titles are claimed. yet the contests
promise to be vigorously contested.

Buff in their fifteen round contest In Eb-
