FORD CAN START
ON. SHORT NOTICE
READY TO BEGIN WORK AT
ONCE-AccEPTANCE OF DE-
TROIT MANS OFFER WOULD
BE FOLLOWED BY TELE-
GRAMS

Detroit, June 6.-Henry Ford is
prepared to begin work on the de-
velopment of the Muscle Shoals
water power and nitrate plants up
on a few hours notice, should his
offer to take over and operate the
project be accepted by congress, it
was learned today from sources
close to the manufacturer. Accep-
tance of his offer, it was said,
would be followed Immediately by
the dispatch of kilograms to vari-
GUS parts of the country that would
initiate the Detroit manufacturers
plan to create an industrial center
around Muscle Shoals that would be
the "crowning achievement of his
career"
Mr.. Ford believes acceptance Of
his proposal and fruition of his
plans will prove the worth of water
power and that an enterprise like
Muscle Shoals can be made to be-
come an asset to the public rather
than a liability. The project, it was
pointed out, will under Mr.. Ford's
plans have paid for itself before the
lease expires.
W. B. Mayo, chief engineer OF
the Ford company, has returned to
Detroit and Mr.. Ford no longer is
personally represented at Washing
ton in connection with the shoals
project. No plans have been made
for further negotiations with con-
gress, it was stated, because Mr.
Ford's reply to the counter-proposal
of the house military committee
was his final statement.

STATES TORECE|NE
MOREFEDERAL AID
APPROPRIATION TO
BE MADE-LARGE AMOUNT
TO BE AVAILABLE JULY FIRST.
FUNDS FROM STATE AFTER
NEXT YEAR.

Columbia, June 6.-State highway
authorities were advised yesterday
that a free conference committee of
the house and senate had agreed on
the federal aid appropriation to be
made by congress within the next two
or three weeks and that the amount
would be s50,OoO,00O for 1923.
Of this $5O,OOO,OOO South Caro-
lima will receive approximately $780,
900 and this will be available July 1
of this year. The appropriation will
be for the fiscal year beginning the
first of next month, but the entire
amount can be had July /.
Charles n. Moorefeld, state high
way engineer, said yesterday that
sufficient funds to match the $780,
900 for South Carolina were already
pledged by the counties and it is ex-
pected that many applications Will De
made for the money.
Under the agreement of the free
conference committee, 100000
for federal aid is to be appropriated
for 1924 and 100000 for 1925.
South Carolina can share in this
years fund and the 1924 amount un-
der the present system of county
matching, but will be unable to share
in the 1925 appropriation unless some
provision is made for the state to
match the funds. Under the provis-
ions of the recent federal aid act the
will begin to deal only
with the states and will not accept
the county matching scheme, this
to become effective after the. 1924
appropriation has been allowed and
used.

Manchester, N. a., June g.
Nineteen arrests were made in this
city late today as a result of the
first disturbance here since the tex
tile strike started on February 13.
Several thousand strikers had gath
cred on the streets near the Coo
lidge mill of the Amoskeag Manu-
featuring company, which was re-
opened yesterday. Many stones
were thrown but no one was hurt.

by the police. Police officers imme-
diately arrested five Of these. u
A crowd followed the officers and
their prisoners to the police station
and remained in that vicinity until
driven off by police reserves. The
other IA arrests, including several
women, were made near the station
when police orders to move along
were disregarded. The police to-
night issued additional orders for

PROSPECTS FOR BALL TEAM
In Abbeville Are Good-To Meet
In Greenwood This Afternoon


There is to be meeting in the Of
flee of the Secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce in Greenwood this af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock to discuss the
matter of organizing a local base ball
team in each of the following named
cities: Abbeville, Greenwood, Ander-
son and Laurens. Representatives
from each of these cities will be pres
ent to discuss this matter.
No definite plans have been made
but the idea is that each of the above
named towns will have team con-
sisting of players that live in the
respective counties, no player being
allowed to play on team that does
not live in the county.
A great deal of interest has been
taken in this matter among the base
ball fans of Abbeville, as this county
has good material for a local team
and there is no reason why Abbeville
shouldn't have as good a team as the
rest of the towns mentioned, and it is
hoped that the people who are inter
ested in this matter will give it their
loyal support.

STRIKERS CLAIM
VICTORY SCORED
FEW WORKERS IN NEW HAMP-
SHIRE MIILS-GOOD ORDER
ON WHOLE MAINTAINED
AND FEW ARRESTS ARE
MADE

Manchester, N. H., June g.
Striking textile operatives in New
HAMPSHIRE claimed a victory to-
night. Only 500 of the $4,000 oper-
atives normally employed were at
work on the first day of the re-
opening of cotton mills in Manches-
ter, Nashua, Dover and Somers-
worth, it was estimated by police
and newspaper men.
Mills in New Market, Exeter and
Suncook did not attempt to re-
open. The mills throughout the state
have been closed since February
13, as a result of a strike in pro-
test against a 20 per cent wage
cut and 81 hour week. .
-Four arrests were made during
the day, two at Manchester for the
jeering of returning workers and
two in Nashua fer alleged violation
of an injunction against picketing
in force there. The four men were
later released. Six men arrested at
Nashua tonight on similar charges
furnished bonds for hearing later.
Idle operatives and sympathizers
made demonstrations this morning
at each mill center where attempts
were made to reopen, but there
were no serious disorders.
Textile mill workers claimed that
many of those who reported for
work today were foreman and
second hands. At Nashua, according
to the police, strike sympathizers
attempted to evade the injunction
by transferring their picketing op-
erations to streets a few blocks
from the mills.
A clash between James Starr,
strike leader in Manchester and
Chief of Police Healy of the Coo
lidge mill. Starr said later that
Chief Healy had charged that he
and Organizer Callahan as we'll as
President Mcmahon of the United
Textile Workers were responsible
for the presence of the strike SYM
pathizers on the streets this morn
ing in violation of rules laid down
by the police department. The chief
however, took no official action and
later issued statement thanking
citizens for their orderly be-
havior.
Strike leaders asserted tonight
that the situation in New Hamp-
shire would be brought to the at
tention of the United States senate
by Senators Lafayette and Gooding
and that senate investigation
might result.

PHILLIPS |SPLACED
UNDER $4,000 BOND
REPUBLICAN STATE CHAIR
MAN FOR GEORGIA SAYS HIS
ARREST Is PENALTY ONE
MUST PAY FOR BEING IN
POLITICS \

Washington, June 6.-John l..
Phillips, Republican state chairman
for Georgia, for whose arrest a
warrant has been issued since late
Saturday on complaint Of the de-
partment of justice, alleging con-
spiracy to defraud United States
in connection with a war contract
for the disposal Of surplus lumber,
surrendered to deputy United
States marshal on his arrival here
today from Philadelphia. He was
Immediately arraigned before Uni
ed States Commissioner I. R. Hit,
who issued the warrant, and, waiv-
ing examination, was released in
$25,000 bail for action Of the grand.
jury. s...> .. ..r. III.
The warrant for Mr.. Phillips ar
rest, sworn to by Marcus Borchant
special assistant to the attorney
general acting for Assistant Attor-
ney General John w. Grim, was is-
sued while the special grand jury
was still conducting its investiga-
ton Of the lumber disposal con-
tract made by the war department
with the firm of Phillips and Steph-
ems acting as agents for the lum-
Der interests. No Indictment has
yet been returned by the grand
jury and it was understood by
Phillips today that witnesses were
still being heard.
Much mystery surrounds the OBJ
tanning of the warrant. Until a
copy of the complaint was made
public at the department of justice
late. today following the formal
arrest of Mr.. Phillips, spokesmen
of the department denied that
warrant had been sought.
While the formalities of the bail
bond were being attended to in
Commissioner Hits Office, Phillips
said that he had hastened to Wash
ington as soon as he had been in
formed of the issuance of the war
rant. Before leaving that city he
notified Marshal Snyder through an
attorney that he was coming. A
deputy met him at the railroad
station and formally placed him in
custody.
At the moment Phillips was being
arraigned, C.. Willing Hare of
Philadelphia who, as director of
sales for the war department,
signed the contract with Phillips
and Stephens, was at the depart
ment Of justice to tell what he
knew of the lumber disposal case.

tuberculosis In
Chickens Spreading

Agricultural College, N. D.. Aug. S.
Tests at the state agricultural col

amount of ~tubercular infection among
chickens in this state this year, &C
cording to DR.. A. F. Schalk. head of
the veterinary school. Nineteen of
thirty-four pure bred chickens re-
Gently tested at the college had the
disease. =
Dr.. Schalk attributes the increase
of this disease in North Dakota to
the evere climate, coupled with the
fact that many poultry raisers put
the chickens into a dark shed or
chicken house and keep them there
under u%nsanitary conditions from De-
cember / to March H. The cold,
which lowers the fowls vitality also
plays its part. Under such conditions
one fowl with tuberculosis is almost
sure to infect others, according to
the doctor.
Incidentally, the test used in de-
termining whether the fowls have
tuberculosis is one which was orig
mated at the North Dakota college
by Doctors Schalk and l.. Van Els. 1t
is now the recognized test the world
over Il
It consists of an injection Of bird
