 The little band boys and girls ran about with many crying, seeking their companions, thinking some per haps had been buried under the de- brs. Some thinking other parts of the deck also had given way began seeking their boats and friends.
 Officers of the boat shouted orders for people to remain in their places and keep quiet. Military officers and Cincinnati police, of whom there were many on board, also cautioned against becoming panic stricken The Eleventh division was on the deck immediately above but which did not extend all the way over the i'll fated deck They heard the crash and saw the deck drop. True to their military training. not a bandsman stirred. They were playing soft air and sensing the situation the director inn mediately struck up lively tune n which each member put his entire energy. The music drowned out the cries of children and of hysterical women It no doubt had great effect in preventing panic throughout The forward decks.

Although the witnesses declined to comment on the subjects discussed before the committee and committee members were also pledged to sec- recy, it was learned on good author- ity that one modification entailed the agreement by MT. Fird to pay the government per cent interest annu- ally on money 1t would spend to ac- quire flowage lands at Dam No 3. No suggestion was made, so far as could be learned, for modification of the 100-year lease period, which has been a particular item of attack by opponents to the proposal It was understood, however, that MT. Ford was willing for Congress to hold authority to decide at the end of the lease period whether the lease would be continued or terminated.
 Another important modification said to have been presented today to the committee affected the Warrior cteam plant for which the Alabama Power company claims an exclusive optional privilege under it's agree ment with the war department.
 It was said that Mir Ford was will- ing to assume responsibility for any damages that the government might suffer because of existing agreement with the Alabama Power company. Mir. Ford's representatives it was said agreed that any indebtedness which the government would be asked to discharge in the event it took possession of the Gorgas plant and Including cost of apprehended litigation would be met by the oper- ating company to be created for the development of Muscle Shoals in the event the Ford proposal is accepted by Congress.
 Produce Fertilizers
 The committeeman were repre- sented as firmly insisting upon the addition to the proposal of provis- lon which would make it mandatory upon the operating company to pro- duce finished fertilizers throughout the full period of the lease. While this question was said to have been discussed no agreement was reached today, it was reported.
 MT. Mayo and his assistant, it was said believed the present language of the contract was satisfactory and assured the committeeman that it would be executed Tn good faith. In it's present form, the proposal pro- vides that finished fertilizers would De man uldciureu anu soiu at proIlt not exceeding 8 per cent.

The committee agreed to continue it's labors tomorrow wi h
