HENRY FORD REJECTS
COUNTER PROPOSAL
CANNOT CONSENT ELIMINA-

MAKE ANOTHER EFFORT.
WOULD GO TO WORK AT
ONCE.

Washington, June 1-Henry
Ford's re-modified offer received by
the house military committee in re-
ply to it's counter proposal for de-
velopment of the governments nj
trate and power projects at
Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was care
fully studied by the committee to-
day in executive session but no
action was taken by that body when
it adjourned to meet again tomor-
row with Mayo and J. w. Worth
ington, MIR. Ford's representatives.
Washington, June 1.-Henry
Ford's reply to the counter pro-
posal drafted by the house mill
tary committee for development Of
the government projects at Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, was presented to-
day to the committee by j. w.
Worthington, a representative Of
Mr.. Ford, Immediately upon ar
rival here from Detroit, where he
conferred with the motor manufac-
turer.
Mr.. Ford's answer, made in the
form of letter to Chairman Kahn
definitely rejected the provision in
the committee plan which eliminat-
ed the steam plant Gorgas, Ala
bama, from the properties to be
disposed of by the government with
the Muscle Shoals properties.
"I cannot consent to eliminate
the Gorgas plant" the letter said,
"because it is necessary to the eco
nomical operation Of the Muscle
Shoals property. If my revised of
fer for Gorgas is rejected, then I
must understand that the accep-
tance Of my offer for Muscle
Shoals as a whole and pot part is
refused" Mr.. Ford's reply further
stated that if congress votes ac-
ceptance of my offer, we will get on
the ground at Muscle Shoals at
once; but if congress rejects, that
will be but the beginning of a
more determined effort on my
part to save Muscle Shoals for the
benefit of the public"

INDIANA DEMOCRATS
.BLA|MEREPUBL|C|ANS
FOR BUSINESS DEPRESSION
THAT CAUSED UNEMPLOY-
MENT-ADMINISTRATION IS
ATTACKED AS A "SPEND-
THRIFT"

Indianapolis, June Indiana
democrats meeting here today in
their state convention laid the
foundation for their fall campaign
with a series of speeches blaming
republican management of national
affairs for business depression
that has caused much. unemploy-
ment. Speaker also attacked the re-
publican state administration as
spendthrift.
In the keynote speech, Frederick
Van Nueys, of this city, declared
the failure to ratify, the Versailles
treaty with it's league of nations.
covenant, was '1argely responsible
for our present economic and in
dustrial difficulties" eve have
heard for a year that prosperity is
just around the corner" he said.
"The people want some tangible
evidence of that fact"
The Washington conference call
ed by President Harding and out
of which grew the four7power pact
and the naval limitation treaty, was
described by Mr.. Van Nueys t'as
the shadow of the substance" Of
the league of nations.
Samuel Ralston, the party can
didate for United States senator
charged the republicans with fol-
lowing a "blind policy" in the
work of reconstruction since the
world war. Business depression and
unemployment, he asserted, were
the results, and he added, the claim
that the pending tariff bill before
congress would '"absolutely close
the doors to foreign markets"
The four-power pact was des-
cribed by Mr.. Ralston as Every
short step in the right course" to
end war and he said he was willing
Ito see it tried out as the next best
thing" to the league Of nations. He
added his opinion that the league
would not be a campaign issue.
Miss Esther Kathleen O'Keefe,
making her first speech since win
ming the nomination as Indiana's
first woman candidate for congress
said she was nominated as citi-
zen, not as woman, and if elected
her conduct would be guided by the
"spirit that nominated me-" With
equal suffrage, women have new
opportunities, she said, Co aid edu-
cation, stop child labor, reduce
taxes and "say whether rich ship
owners shall be subsidized with
public money while agriculture
goes begging"

IN|R|SH SITUATION
WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL
MAKES STATEMENT IN HOUSE
TEST WILL COME AFTER ELEC-
TIONS IN IRELAND WHEN
THOSE CHOSEN FACE OATH.

London, June 1.-The facts of the
Irish situation were presented in a
statement by Winston Spencer Chur-
chill, secretary for the colonies, in
the house of commons, today, but the
fate of the treaty which serves to
bridge the difficulties between Great
Britain and Ireland can not be de-
termined until after the Irish elec-
tions, when those chosen at the polls
will be put to the test of treaty
oath.
Mr.. Churchill, in the commons, and
Lord Chancellor Birkenhead, in the
house of lords, announced Great Brit
aims position as rigid adherences to
the treaty, which the pact entered
into between Eamon de Valera and
Michael Collins is declared to have
menaced.
The return of Mr.. Collins to Dub
lin, with Arthur Griffith remaining in
London, together with the announce
ment of a further postponement Of
the dali eireann's sessions suggests
the possibility of further negotia-
tions after conversations between
Collins and de Valera to see how
far the points made at London can
be met at Dublin.
Mr.. Churchilrs speech seems to
have created general satisfaction, &C
cording to reports from Dublin and
Belfast, while Collins and Griffith,
who heard the statement from the
gallery, adjudged it "a fair presenta-
ton of the facts"
Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
m;er, speaking in the northern par
liar?ent, said there was not single
word in Churchill's speech to cause
the slightest misconception or mis-
understanding in Ulster and there
seemed to be running through it the
right tone of dealing with those who
would in any way attempt to over
throw the honorable understanding
arrived at in the treaty.
Lord Birkenhead told the house of
lords the British government stands
for the treaty with Ireland to the let
ter and spirit and would not go an
inch beyond it. Under no conceivable
circumstances would the government
consent to the republicans becoming
ministers in the Irish government,
and should such a crisis arise the re-
sources of Great Britain were by no
means exhausted.
The governments policy cores
ponded with the wishes of the dem
ocracies of the two islands for whose
political fortunes the government
was the trustee.

leved and would go on duty at the same hours as Alan himself. Benjamin Corvetl The fancy reiterated itself to him. Could he be mistaken7 Was that man, whose eyes turned alternately from the compass to the bow of the ferry as 1t shifted and rose and fell. the same who had sat in that lonely chair turned toward the fireplace in the house on Astor street? Were those hands, which held the steamer to her course, the hands which had written to Alan in secret from the little room off his bedroom and which pasted so carefully the newspaper clippings con- cealed in the libraryf
 Alan faced the wind with mackinaw buttoned about his throat; to make certain his hearing, his ears were un- protected. They numbed frequently, and he drew a hand out of the glove to rub them. The windows to protect the wheelsman had been dropped, as the snow had gathered on the glass; and at intervals, as he glanced back, he could sec old Burr's face as he switched on dim light to look at the compass. The strange placidity which usually characterized the old mans face had not returned to 1t since Alan had spoken with him on the dock; its look was intent and Queerly drawn. Was old Burr beginning to remember that he was Benjamin Corvet? Alan did not believe 1t could be that; again and again he had spoken Corvet's name to him without effect Yet there must have been times when, if he was actual, ly Corvet, he had remembered who he was He must have remembered that when he had written directions to some one to send those things to Constance Sherrin; or, strange thought had come to Alan, had he written those in- structions himself? This certainly would account for the package having been mailed at Manitowoc and for Alan's failure to find out by whom 1t had been mailed. It would account, too for the unknown handwriting upon the wrapper, if some one on the ferry had addressed the package for the old man. What could have brought back that moment of recollection to Corvet, Alan wondered: the finding of the things which he had sentr What might bring another such momentf Would his see ing the Sherrills again-or Spearman- act to restore him7
 For half an hour Alan poced steadily at the bow. The storm was increasing noticeably in herceness; the wind driven snowhakes had changed to hard pellets which, like little bullets, cut and stung the face: and 1t was growing colder. From a cabin window came the blue flash of the wireless, which had been silent after notifying the shore stations of their departure. It had

"lay1ng up" Marine insuranCe, as re gards all ordinary craft, had ceased; and the government at sunrise, five days before, had taken the warning lights from the Straits of Mackinaw, from ne-aux- -Galets, from north Mani tOu, and the Fox islands; and the light at Beaver island had but five nights more to burn.
 Having no particular duty when the boat was in dock, old Burr had gone toward the steamer '1aying up," and now was standing watching with ab- sorptiOn the work going on. There was a tug little farther along, with steam up and black smoke pouring from its short funnel. Old Burr ob- served this boat too and moved up a little nearer. Alan, following the wheelsman, came opposite the stern of the freighter.
 "They're crossing" the wheelsman said aloud but more to himself than to Alan. They're laying her up here" he jerked his head toward the Slough ton. "Then they're crossing to Mani towoc on the tug"
 Whats the matter with that?" Alan cried.
 Burr drew up his shoulders and tucked his head down as a gust blew It was cold, very cold indeed in that wind, but the old man had on a macki- nav and, out on the lake, Alan had seen him on deck coatless In weather almost as cold as this.
 Its a winter storm" Alan cried. 'It's like 1t that way; but today's the 18th, not the 5th of December"
 "That's right" Burr argeed. That's right"
 The reply was absent, as though Alan had stumbled upon what he was thinking and Burr had no thought yet to wonder at 1t.
 And it's the Stoughton they're lay ing up, not the" he stopped and stared at Burr to let him supply the word and, when the old man did not, he repeated again-'not the"
 "No," Burr agreed again, as though the name had been given. "No."
 "It was the Martha Corvet you laid up, wasn't itT' Alan cried quickly. "Tell me-that time on the 5th-it was the Martha Corvetr'
 Burr jerked away; Alan caught him again and with physical strength, de- tained him. Wasn't 1t thatT" he de- manded. Answer me; it was the Martha Corvetr'
 The wheslsman struggled {; he seO---ed suddenly terrified with the terror which, instead of weakening, supplied infuriated strength. He threw Alan off for an instant and started to flee back toward the ferry; and Alan let him go, only following a few steps to make sure that the wheelsman returned to Number 25. ..
