FORD WOULD GET.
DAM FOR PRICE.
OF ITS UPKEEP.
Senator HarreId Says Offer for
Muscle Shoals Projects Is I'm
considerable.
HAVE POWER OF TWO
DAMS ENTIRELY FREE
Lease for 100 Years Would Give
Ford Lots of Town Property
Without Any Cost.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 70. - Henry
Ford's offer for the Muscle Shoals pro-
Jects was declared 'unconscionable" by
Senator Harreld of Oklahoma, Republi-
can member of the senate agriculture
committee, in letter today to Gray
Silver, of the American Farm Bureau
Federation
1T is true that he agreed to use the
capacity of plant number two in the
production of fertilizer which he will sell
for per cent profit and will only charge
for the power in making thereof the
price equal to the cheapest power avail
able
Too Much Free.
VIRTUALLY then, he is getting this i'm
mense power generated by the two dams,
for an agreement on his part to keen
number 2 running in the making of fer
tilizers so long as he can make it and
sell it in the markets at per cent profit,
which may be one year or years or
20 years. There are many states in the
union that will use more fertilizer than
he proposes to manufacture under the
terms of this contract. He would have
absolutely free, under the terms of this
contract, the entire power of the two
! Muscle Shoals dams, built at the ex-
pense of the government. for 100 years,
for practically what it will cost to keep
it up"
Opposes 1oo-Year Lease.
'Tt is in my Judgment this is an un-
consionable contract so far as the peo-
pie of the United States are concerned
and I cannot favor it," said Senator
Harreld. 81 am not averse to leasing
this power to Mr.. Ford but cannot favor
leasing it under such terms as these in
Tin the Ford offer). Especially do I op-
pose the making Of such a lease for 100
years"
Senator Harreld said that ''in a nut
she'll Mr. Ford's proposal amounted to
turning over to the Detroit manufacturer
the Muscle Shoals property plus "scores
of residences and town property worth
many millions of dollars without any
cost whatever to Mr.. Ford Senator
Harreld said that Mr.. Ford offered So,
000,0 900 for property worth more than
that sum, excluding the city property.
None of the various propositions be-
fore the committee were satisfactory to
me, hence I did not vote for any of
them" the senator said. "My position
is that the government must finish this
dam under any proposition that has been
made at its own expense. 1t will require
three years to do SO and feel that with
in that period we can make a much bet
ter contract than any of those proposed"
Regarding the offer made by Mr.. Ford,
Senator Harre1d said, ''for his 100 years
use of the two dams which the govern
ment viii build he proposes to pay four
per cent of the amount invested in fin
ishing the dam and what, in my judg
ment, is only part of the actual cost
of upkeep of the two dams.
I'm fact think it will take all that he
would pay to the government in cash uh-
der his contract to keep up repairs on
the two dams,' he continued. "Thus he
will practically get the power generated
by these dams for 100 years by paying
for the upkeep."

SENIORITY ISSUE MAY BE PLACED BEFORE
IMPARTIAL TRIBUNAL FOR ARBITRATION
SENATE TO TAKE FINAL VOTE ON 1S5$&7 BILL SATURDAY
UNIQUE SUIT FILED
IN IOWA COURTS BY
TALLADEGA COLLEGE

DES MONIES, Aug. ia suit
unique in the history of Iowa courts
was instituted in district court here
today when the Tallageda college, a
Congregational institution for negro
children at Talladega, Ala, sued for
$4,000 interest on a bequest of $780,
900 left the college in 1904 by James
Callahan, one time wealthy real es-
tate dealer and philanthropist of Des
Moines.
The 100000 gift was to have been
paid in yearly installments of $4,000
each, starting in 1905. The last pay
ment, due in 1909, was delayed until
May of this year, through the inabaI-
ty of the trustees of the estate to Ii
quidate enough of Mr.. Callahan's
property to meet the many bequests
of his will.
The trustees OF the college have
computed the interest lost on the
money due to the delayed payment
and are suing for that amount.

During the visit of Mr.. Mueller and
Mr.. Scott every phase of the local or
ganization of the coastwise service
now established was gone into, the
matter Of rates and the desired CO.
relation with the railroads operating
into Pensacola was taken up.
The keynote of the Transmarine
Corporation coastwise service, accord
ing to those gentlemen is .promptness
OF dispatch and maintenance Of fixed
schedules. .+
Evidence that this program is being
carried out is shown in the first sail
ing ef the new ceastwise service. The

THE Chamber of Commerce has
completed its work insofar as estab-
fishing the new coastwise service is
concerned" said Mr.. Morrow, indus

receivers of freight. That the promise
made by our local people will be car
ried out has already been shown.
inc Lines general agent here was the
selection of the Transnlarine officials
and was uninfluenced by the chamber
of commerce officials. AS far as the
future chamber Of commerce activity
in the matter is concerned this will
be merely to see that the agreements
made in securing the establishments
of the line are carried out and that the
promises by our shippers and receivers
of freight are carried out. The chamber
of commerce will of course, lend its
fullest support to the Transmarine
officials here and at New York.

nation with the rail lines, so that our
trade territory can be expanded and
the railroads assured of increased rev.

SPORADIC WALKOUT'
OF TRAINMEN In
THE SOUTH BEGINS
Effects of the Movement Felt at
Birmingham and Other
Important Centers.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 12-Sporadic
walkout of trainmen threatened for some
time on the grounds that they were in
danger from armed guards on duty at
railroad shops and alleged defective
equipment, began to take place in the
South today. s-+
The Louisville and Nashville in Ken
lucky and Indiana, the st. Louis and
San Francisco al Birningham. and the
Illinois Central at Memphis were the
first lines to feel the effects of the move-
nent, which was comparatively slight at
first.
Carriers operating in the South have
been more seriously affected by the shop
mems strike than those of the East, 1t
was brought out at the rail executives
conference in New York this week, and
while none gave definite opinions to-
night as to the possible effects of the
trainmen's walkouts, it was curtailing
train service already on Louisville ana
Nashville divisions affected.
Dispatches did not give the number of
men who quit on the roads Cumberland
division, but it was said trains were
being combined and manned by company
officials.
Reports from Birmingham estimated
that about 200 trainmen had quit the
st. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
there and union leaders contended that
passenger trains on that line would not
be able to operate out of the city. Local
railroad officials announced that a num-
her of brakemen had quit but denied
that other trainmen had left and as
serted that service would not be affected
except at the lines Birmingham yards.
No disorders were reported in connec-
ton with the walkouts.

Heated Discussion
At Coal Meet Over
Future Arbitration

CLEVELAND, Aug. 12-Whether an
agreement providing for a part settle
ment of the soft coal strike will be
reached at the conference here Of opera
tors and miners hinged tonight apparently
on the opposite stands taken as to arbi-
tration Of future contracts by President
John L. Lewis of the miners, and Michael
Gallagher, who had been designated as
an arbiter for the operators.
Mr.. Lewis had declared his unalterable
opposition to compulsory arbitration,
which was favored by Mr.. Gallagher. All
other questions of an agreement were
understood to have been decided by them,
including a provision for re-establishing
the wages and working conditions that
prevailed when the strike began last

FINAL Vote
NEXT SATURDAY
Passage of Measure Regarded
Among the Senators as a
FOregOne Conclusion.
SENATORS LIMITED TO
TEN-MINUTE DEBATES
Will Be Disposed of Exactly
Four Months From Day 1t Was
First Considered.

WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-The ad-
ministration tariff bill will be brought
to a final vote in the senate next
Saturday August 10, under an unani-
nous consent agreement entered into
late today.
Passage of the measure was regard
ed by senators generally as a foregone
conclusion. At least three democrats
Broussard and Ransdell of Louisiana,
and Hendrick of Wyoming,-were
counted upon to support it, while the
expectation was that not to exceed six,
if that many republicans would oppose
it.
Under the terms OF the agreement,
the senate, beginning at not later than
4 p. m, next Tuesday, will proceed to
vote without further debate on all
committee amendments then undispos-
, ed of and not later than 10 D. M, next

more than once not longer than 10
minutes upon any amendmet.
All debate viii end at p. M, next
Saturday and then the bill will be put
upon the parliamentary stages leading
to final vote before adjournment.
Thus the measure will be disposed of
exactly four months from the day on
which it's consideration was begun on
April 40 and the senate will have set
new long distance record for disposi-
ton of tariff measure.

After the bill is passed by the SEN

where the original Fordney measure
was approved more than a year ago.
A conference between the senate and
house will then be in order and Chair
man McCumber hopes to have the con-
ferees begin their work early in the
week following final senate action.
The conferees viii face a long and
difficult task. One of the big issues

At The Playhouse

"The Skin Came" John Galswor-
thy's strong tragi-comedy of conflict
and human emotion, will come to the
Playhouse, Wilmington, for three
days starting Thursday with Sat
urday matinee, with Jane Grey and
distinguished all-English cast. This
play has been both London and New
York success and comes here directly
from four triumphal weeks in Phil
adelphia and three months in Chicago.
"Of what good is gentility if it
can't stand fire." asks Mr.. Hillcrist,
as the curtain is lowered on one of
the best serious plays of the season.
In the fight to prevent progressive
and egotistical manufacturer from
erecting chimneys within three hun
dred yards of their house, the Squire's
wife, despite her husbands objections
has unearthed the questionable past
of the daughter-in-law, and used it as
a weapon.
Was there justification for using this
scandalous weapon? On the one side,
the Squire in fighting for his home
and existence-on the other, the man
ufacturer in fighting to progress.
The story tells of two essentially
hostile families on an English country
side-the Hillorists, a proud, we'll
bred old household of long standing,
serene in the possession Of those
things which belong to any people
first on the ground, first in the sun;
the Hornblowers, a clan of rising new
comers, hard-hitting, vulgar, aggres-
sive, rich, powerful and threatening to
over-run the neighborhood with
smokestacks and factories, to the
eventual undoing of the older stock
