With Russ Workman Husband

Chicago, Feb. Mrs. Marion B.
Stephens, heiress to the $40,000,000
estate of her father, the late Nor
man B. Ream, was speeding to New
York today to prepare for her mar
riage Saturday to Anastase Andre
witch oy-Vonsiastsky, a
Russian workingman.
Arriving in Chicago suddenly,
she transacted certain business, re-
iterated her determination to live
according to the means of her hus-
band-to-be, in his humble cottage,
and expressed her views on mar
riage.
Happiness, she said, 'is not a
question of money. Money has
nothing to do with my marriage,
one way or another We shall live
very simply, in accordance with my
husbands position, although we are
not going to live in precisely the
kind of a workingman's cottage de-
scribed as typical. l expect to be

Since that time l have seen much

His father was a chief of the gen.

CLEVELAND.

Cleveland. Feb. 2.-Business in
this section, as reflected in the
debts to individual bank accounts
has been slower in the last week.
These debts fell about $4,00O,00O,
The dullness is attributed largely
to lethargy in the steel business
which has been more pronounced
in the last week in northern Ohio
than early this year. Sheet mills in
the Mahoning Valley after operating
for four weeks on a Sc jer cent
basis have dropped to 80 per cent
and buying continues of the hand
to mouth order. Prices, however
have been unchanged.
More encouragement is felt
among the pottery manufacturers.
Aided by the annual exhibit 1t
Pittsburgh, sufficient orders for
tableware have come in to place
business considerably ahead of its
position in the corresponding per
iod last year. Using January as
a basis potters predicted good bus:-

FORD OFFER
TOCONCRESS
Hands Over Muscle Shoals
Proposal Without Rec
concentrations.

Washington, Feb. 2. - Henry
Ford's proposal for the government
projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala
bama, was submitted today to con-
gress by Secretary Weeks, for
such action as congress may deem
appropriate"
The only suggestion contained in
the letter of transmission related
to specific clauses in the contract
and the desirability of amendments
which would, in the event the pro-
posal be accepted by congress, fur
ther safeguard the governments
interests.
In the event Mr. Ford's propos-
al is accepted" Secretary Weeks
declared. the government must
make new appropriations amount
ing to S40,0OO,O00 to s50,0O0.O00 of
which Mr.. Ford will have the ben
eft for approximately 100 years at
per cent"
In the event the offer be reject
ed the secretary gave it as his
opinion that dam No. 2 (Wilson
dam should be completed by the
government and that the power re-
Quirements for commercial pur-
poses, the benefits to navigation as
well as the possible needs Of the
government, would warrant this
expenditure.
Explains Proposition.
"If this were DONE" he contin-
ues, "the government may itself
undertake to sell the product to the
best advantage. In such case the
amount of the governments pres
ent proposed investment would be
very materially reduced. because
dam No. 3. costing from 100000
to 25,000,000, would not be built,
and it would not be necessary to
make the full installation of power
plant on the Wilson dam until the
market required such installation.
This partial installation" the
secretary explains, would effect a
saving of present investment in at
least the sum of $4,000, 900. leaving,
according to the chief of engineers
estimate, not to exceed S22,000,000
to be invested by the government
at this time. instead of S40,000.000
to s50.O00,000.
The question of unemployment is
recognized as a factor to be con-
shered by congress in connection
with its treatment of the Muscle
Shoals question
Unemployment Considered.
AT this time" the secretary
points out, when there is a large
amount of unemployment, it is not
without importance to the advan-
tage to the nation of the employ
ment of the large amount of labor
required in undertaking this de-
velopment l, therefore urge that
congress give early consideration
to this matter, not only to settle
controyerted question, but to fur
nish employment on a large scale.
The secretary explains his action
in sending the offer to congress by
declaring he is without authority
in law to accept Mr.. Ford's offer,
or dispose of the property as a
whole, either by sale or by lease"
and that sit is peculiarly the prov
ince of congress to weigh the con-

DEMOCRACY OF
u. S. SHOWN IN
SIGNING PACT
Bare Names, No Til
ties, Appear on
Treaties.

Washington, Feb. 2.-(By the
Associated Press) - When the
American delegates to the arms con-
ference came to describe them
selves for the purposes of the list
of plenipotentiaries that always
precedes the official test of treat
les, they set before the world a new
example of democracy.
Titles and official designations OF
many sorts glitter opposite the
names of the representative OF
other governments, who are parties
to the treaties negotiated here, but
under the head of the American
delegates in the new naval and sub
marine treaties appears simply
this:
For the president of the United
States of America:
Charles Evans Hughes.
Henry Cabot Lodge.
oscar w. Underwood.
"Elihu Root.
Citizens of the United Sts4ea"
Jap Signature Longest.
Compared to this every other
delegate listed carries some sort of
a handle, long or short, to his name.
The longest is that of the head of
the Japanese, who is described
thus:
For his majesty, the emperor of
Japan:
Baron Tomosaburo Kato. min
inster for the navy, Junii, a member
of the first class of the Imperial
Order of Grand Gordon of the Ris-
ing Sun, with the Paulownia
Flower"
In past treaties, it has been Gus
tomary to at least affix THE Hon
orable" before the name of each
American plenipotentiary, and TO
follow it by designating what pub
lie office, if any, he occupies.

Copyright. 1922, by The Argus.l
Washington, Feb. Out of the
frying pan into the fire may be the
upshot of the maneuver whereby
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, brains OF
the agricultural bloc, was prevailed
upon to leave the senate and &C
cept the federal judgeship offered
him by President Harding.
The political purpose plainly was
to remove the leader of a move
ment which had been threatening
the solidarity of the Republican
party. Senator Kenyon was a thorn
in the side of the administration
He was the man who gave the
Democrats much political ammuni-
ton by the way he fought against
the seating of Senator Newberry
He threatened to support Senator
kendrick of Wyoming, a Democrat,
as against Frank MondeIl, q Repub-
lican, because the latter was too
conservative. Mr.. Kenyon talked
about campaigning from one end of
the country TO the other on the
subject of "Condoning Corruption"
in the senate. He was always ac-
tive and Independent and was one
of the chief figures in bringing out
the facts of the Missouri primary
scandal which preceded the Re
publican national convention OF
1920.
"RemOVal By Promotion
Then why did he abandon these
aggressive tactics and accept a
quiet place on the bench? Most
everybody here in political circles
knows why the administration
wanted to have Kenyon out of the
way. It's not new kind of STRAIT
egy-removal by promotion. Demo-
Gratis have availed themselves of it,
too. But Senator Kenyon's own
reasons remain a mystery. The
most plausible explanation ad-
vanced by those who know him best
is that he was just tired-plainly
tired with life in the United States
senate, that the vote in the New
berry case disheartened him and
that the disgust for politics which
he had so often expressed in private
had come to a head, and that if the
appointment had not heen rendered
he might have resigned.
But if senator Kenyon has found
solace on the federal bench, it can
not be said that the administration
is altogether sure that it has ac-
cOmPiished much by removing him
from leadership of the farm bloc.
In the first place, there is no GER
tainty that the appointee from
Iowa will hold aIoof from the bloc
The chances are that any senator
from Iowa will have to go along
with the western group of senator's

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 2.-Re-
strictionists of the constitutional
convention turned to senate ap-
portionment today in their efforts
to fasten a legislative limitation
upon Cook county.
Reconsideration of county rep
resentation" as a basis for lower
house membership, the plan which
was rejected for the lack of one
vote last night, seemed unlikely
until the convention decides on a
senate plan, leading downstate del
egates said as the session opened
today.
The senate proposal before the
convention establishes 81 senator
ial districts, 10, or one-third OF
which would be created in Cook
county.
Vote Predicted.
With senate apportionment set
tied, an agreement on the division
of the lower house representation
probably could be expedited. said
Delegate Barr of Joliet, restriction
predicted for late today.
DSClSlOu W luIn " SSldlOl Ad4 q p
portionment was the result of a
conference of downstate delegates
last night after the defeat of a
county representation.
A Cook county agreement to the
present plan of limiting the senate
would go far toward effecting a
compromise of some sort, several
leading downstaterS declared, while
this form of limitation safely in
serted in the constitution would
give more confidence to downstate
delegates in their fear of Chicago
domination.
Wait fOr Cook County.
Cook county has rejected our
legislative proposals." said Dele
gate Barr. Perhaps We will wait
to see what they have, to offer be-
fore another roll call on county
representation"
Opponents of county representa-
ton expressed the belief that the re-
strictionists showed their maximum
strength when they mustered 81
votes last night. Delegate Chew of
Shelbyville, considered a support
er of the plan, was absent on the
roll call, but opponents of the
measure asserted that defections
from the ranks of the county unit
faction would reduce the vote of
the affirmative on another roll call.
Charges by their opponents that
the restrictionists were dominated
by the anti-saloon league were de-
MED by several downstaters, among
them Delegate Rinaker of Carlin-
willie, who voiced his support of the
measure lin spite of the anu-saloou
league"
